German sinologist (汉学家) Martin Woesler recently made his first visit to the ancient Silk Road center of Dunhuang in northwest China’s Gansu Province, where he was amazed by the city’s unique cultural charm.
Starting from Hunan Normal University, where he currently teaches, Woesler traveled to attend the fourth Dialogue on Exchanges and Mutual Learning among Civilizations, an international conference held in Dunhuang from May 29 to 31. During his brief stay in Gansu, he joined scholars from all around the world in sharing ideas about cross-cultural dialogue.
When standing in front of the Mogao Grottoes for the first time, he was deeply impressed by an unexpected sense of cultural connection-one that bridged both time and geography. In Cave 285, the wall paintings feature an amazing mix of figures — Apollo and Diana from Greek mythology, Fuxi and Nuwa from Chinese legends, flying apsaras (飞天) from Indian Buddhism and feathered immortals (神) from Daoism. It is these mixed civilizations that form the cultural wonder showed in Dunhuang, noted Woesler.
Woesler’s connection with China began 38 years ago when he was attracted by a Chinese poem at a poetry reading in Germany. Having lived, worked, and studied in China for 30 years, he had already known Dunhuang as an oasis (绿洲) city surrounded by desert, a treasure house of art and heritage, and a cultural crossroads shaped by centuries of Silk Road exchanges.
For decades, Woesler has worked to bridge the gap between cultures. His career has frequently taken him between Germany and China, and he remains committed to helping the world better understand Chinese literature and culture. He believes that even today, people from different countries can still draw wisdom and strength from it. His journey to Dunhuang has now brought new reflections on cultural dialogue in the digital age.
4. Why did Woesler visit Dunhuang?
A. To study ancient wall paintings. B. To attend an international conference.
C. To explore the Silk Road history. D. To teach at a Chinese university.
5. What deeply impressed Woesler about the Mogao Grottoes?
A. The influence of Indian Buddhism.
B. The combination of different cultures.
C. The well-protected paintings on the wall.
D. The attractive oasis city surrounded by desert.
6. What does Woesler believe about cultural exchange?
A. It succeeds on digital platforms.
B. It is limited to historical contexts.
C. It plays a key role in modern society.
D. It should attach importance to traditions.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. The History of Silk Road: From Ancient Trade to Modern Dialogue.
B. The Magic of Mogao Grottoes: A Treasure House of Art and Heritage.
C. A Challenge in Digital Age: Bridging the Gap between Different Cultures.
D. A Sinologist’s Journey: Rediscovering Dunhuang’s Cultural Combination.
C
Many pet owners believe their animals can sense their feelings, but what does science say? Researchers have found evidence that some animals do respond to human emotions, though the reasons may be more practical than emotional.
Dogs are particularly good at reading human signals. A study from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna used brain scans to show that dogs react differently to happy and angry human voices. Their brains light up in reward centers when hearing praise, suggesting they associate positive tones with good outcomes. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean dogs “feel” for us—it may just be smart learning from years of living with humans.
Dolphins show even more surprising behaviors. Scientists observed that when trainers seemed upset, dolphins would often swim over to comfort them, using special sounds normally heard between dolphin mothers and babies. While this looks like empathy, some experts think dolphins might just be responding to visible signs of discomfort.
Cats, on the other hand, remain a mystery. Despite having similar brain structures to dogs, most cats seem indifferent to human emotions. Studies show they recognize their owner’s voice but usually choose not to respond-a fact many cat owners know too well!
So do animals truly understand us? Current research suggests they’ re probably responding to signals they’ve learned to associate with rewards or safety, rather than experiencing human-like emotions. As scientists continue to study animal behavior, one thing is clear: the bond between humans and animals is complex and fascinating.
8. What did the Vienna study show about dogs?
A. They understand human language.
B. They ignore negative human voices.
C. They feel happy when hearing praise.
D. They respond differently to human signals.
9. What does the underlined word “empathy” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Understanding others’ upset. B. Ignoring others’ disappointment.
C. Showing respect to dolphin mothers. D. Giving response to visible signs.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Cats aren’t popular with humans.
B. Cats have high emotional quality.
C. Cats are less intelligent than dogs.
D. Cats show no interest in human emotions.
11. According to the passage, which statement would researchers most likely agree with?
A. Animals’ responses are natural, not learned.
B. Animals can copy human emotions perfectly.
C. Animals probably have no human-like emotions.
D. Animal-human relationship is easy to cuderstand.
D
After Horizon: An American Saga was screened recently during the Cannes Film Festival, the audience clapped for seven minutes. And that’s not even the longest clapping in the festival’s history. That prize goes to Pan’s Labyrinth’s 22-minute clapping in 2006.
Humans probably started clapping early in our history, writes psychologist Alan Crawley in a 2023 review of research on the topic. Our ancestors may not have screened movies, but in the absence of spoken language, they may have realized they could use clapping to signal danger, or frighten enemies.
Clapping’s simplicity and effectiveness make it a universal practice. While babies rarely clap before their first birthday, children master it quickly, gaining its global popularity. Unlike complex gestures (e. g., finger-clicking) , clapping produces loud, effortless noise — Crawley calls it the “non-vocal signal with the highest sound volume.” Socially, it balances politeness and enthusiasm, avoiding the rudeness of screaming, which allows clapping to adapt to contexts ranging from polite theater audiences to lively sports crowds. It also can be an act that strengthens social ties. During some hard times, the practice of organized clapping was, on the surface, about showing appreciation for key workers.
Clapping often spreads like a “social disease,” as observed in studies by Richard Mann in 2013. In academic settings, clapping typically begins with a few individuals, resulting in a chain reaction. Anyone in a crowd will know that a mere handful of clappers can sometimes cause a room of people to follow their behavior.
But what about super-long clapping? Why not just leave it at a minute or two? Back in 2013, Mann told BBC News that the length of clapping did not connect with the quality of the performance. “You have this social pressure to start clapping, but once you’ve started there’s an equally strong social pressure not to stop, until someone starts that stopping.” Then the conclusion would be this: no one in the room wants to be seen — or in the social media age, filmed — as the first one to stop.
12. What does Alan Crawley suggest about the origin of human clapping?
A. It was adopted to replace spoken language.
B. It developed from ancestors’ survival strategies.
C. It appeared as a form of entertainment during festivals.
D. It was first used to signal appreciation for performances.
13. Why is clapping a popular gesture across cultures compared to finger-clicking?
A. Clapping is louder and simpler to do.
B. Clapping is taught to babies earlier in life.
C. Clapping is more polite and more socially accepted.
D. Clapping is used to show appreciation especially in hard times.
14. What did Richard Mann’s 2013 study find about clapping?
A. People clap louder when they are in large audience.
B. Clapping spreads like a chain reaction in a group setting.
C. Clapping seems to have no connection with social pressure.
D. The quality of performances determines the length of clapping.
15. Where does the passage likely come from?
A. A film review magazine.
B. An entertainment news website.
C. A scientific journal on human behaviour.
D. A history textbook on human development.

Your Name in Gold
Anne sat at the breakfast table, eating her cornflakes (玉米片). Anne’s older sister, Mary, sat across from her, reading the cornflakes box. “Hey, Anne,” she said, “look at this awesome prize — your name in gold.”
As Mary read on, Anne’s interest in the prize grew. “Just send in one dollar with proof-of-purchase seal from this box and spell out your first name on the information blank. We will send you a special pin (胸针) with your name spelled in gold. (Only one per family, please.)”
Anne grabbed the box, her eyes brightening with excitement. “That’s a neat idea,” she said. “A pin with my very own name spelled out in gold. I’m going to send in for it.”
“Sorry, Anne, I saw it first,” said Mary. Besides, “you don’t have a dollar to send in, and I do.”
“But I want a pin like that so badly,” said Anne. “Please let me have it!”
“Nope,” said her sister.
“You always get your way — just because you’re older than me,” said Anne, her lower lip trembling and her eyes filled with tears. She threw down her spoon and rushed out of the kitchen.
Several weeks passed. One day the mailman brought a small package addressed to Mary. Anne was dying to see the pin, but she wouldn’t let Mary know how eager she was. Mary took the package to her room. Anne casually followed her in and sat on the bed.
“Well, I guess they sent you your pin. I surely hope you like it,” Anne said in a mean voice. Mary slowly took the paper off the package. She opened a little white box and said, “Oh, it’s beautiful! Just like the cornflakes box said, your name in gold. Four beautiful letters. Would you like to see it, Anne?”
“No, I don’t care about your stupid pin.”
Mary put the white box on the dresser (梳妆台) and went downstairs
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

German sinologist (汉学家) Martin Woesler recently made his first visit to the ancient Silk Road center of Dunhuang in northwest China’s Gansu Province, where he was amazed by the city’s unique cultural charm.
Starting from Hunan Normal University, where he currently teaches, Woesler traveled to attend the fourth Dialogue on Exchanges and Mutual Learning among Civilizations, an international conference held in Dunhuang from May 29 to 31. During his brief stay in Gansu, he joined scholars from all around the world in sharing ideas about cross-cultural dialogue.
When standing in front of the Mogao Grottoes for the first time, he was deeply impressed by an unexpected sense of cultural connection-one that bridged both time and geography. In Cave 285, the wall paintings feature an amazing mix of figures — Apollo and Diana from Greek mythology, Fuxi and Nuwa from Chinese legends, flying apsaras (飞天) from Indian Buddhism and feathered immortals (神) from Daoism. It is these mixed civilizations that form the cultural wonder showed in Dunhuang, noted Woesler.
Woesler’s connection with China began 38 years ago when he was attracted by a Chinese poem at a poetry reading in Germany. Having lived, worked, and studied in China for 30 years, he had already known Dunhuang as an oasis (绿洲) city surrounded by desert, a treasure house of art and heritage, and a cultural crossroads shaped by centuries of Silk Road exchanges.
For decades, Woesler has worked to bridge the gap between cultures. His career has frequently taken him between Germany and China, and he remains committed to helping the world better understand Chinese literature and culture. He believes that even today, people from different countries can still draw wisdom and strength from it. His journey to Dunhuang has now brought new reflections on cultural dialogue in the digital age.
4. Why did Woesler visit Dunhuang?
A. To study ancient wall paintings. B. To attend an international conference.
C. To explore the Silk Road history. D. To teach at a Chinese university.
5. What deeply impressed Woesler about the Mogao Grottoes?
A. The influence of Indian Buddhism.
B. The combination of different cultures.
C. The well-protected paintings on the wall.
D. The attractive oasis city surrounded by desert.
6. What does Woesler believe about cultural exchange?
A. It succeeds on digital platforms.
B. It is limited to historical contexts.
C. It plays a key role in modern society.
D. It should attach importance to traditions.
7. What is the best title for the text?

Many pet owners believe their animals can sense their feelings, but what does science say? Researchers have found evidence that some animals do respond to human emotions, though the reasons may be more practical than emotional.
Dogs are particularly good at reading human signals. A study from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna used brain scans to show that dogs react differently to happy and angry human voices. Their brains light up in reward centers when hearing praise, suggesting they associate positive tones with good outcomes. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean dogs “feel” for us—it may just be smart learning from years of living with humans.
Dolphins show even more surprising behaviors. Scientists observed that when trainers seemed upset, dolphins would often swim over to comfort them, using special sounds normally heard between dolphin mothers and babies. While this looks like empathy, some experts think dolphins might just be responding to visible signs of discomfort.
Cats on the other hand, remain a mystery. Despite having similar brain structures to dogs, most cats seem indifferent to human emotions. Studies show they recognize their owner’s voice but usually choose not to respond-a fact many cat owners know too well!
So do animals truly understand us? Current research suggests they’ re probably responding to signals they’ve learned to associate with rewards or safety, rather than experiencing human-like emotions. As scientists continue to study animal behavior, one thing is clear: the bond between humans and animals is complex and fascinating.
8. What did the Vienna study show about dogs?
A. They understand human language.
B. They ignore negative human voices.
C. They feel happy when hearing praise.
D. They respond differently to human signals.
9. What does the underlined word “empathy” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Understanding others’ upset. B. Ignoring others’ disappointment.
C. Showing respect to dolphin mothers. D. Giving response to visible signs.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Cats aren’t popular with humans.
B. Cats have high emotional quality.
C. Cats are less intelligent than dogs.
D. Cats show no interest in human emotions.
11. According to the passage, which statement would researchers most likely agree with?
A. Animals’ responses are natural, not learned.
B. Animals can copy human emotions perfectly.
C. Animals probably have no human-like emotions.
D. Animal-human relationship is easy to cuderstand.

After Horizon: An American Saga was screened recently during the Cannes Film Festival, the audience clapped for seven minutes. And that’s not even the longest clapping in the festival’s history. That prize goes to Pan’s Labyrinth’s 22-minute clapping in 2006.
Humans probably started clapping early in our history, writes psychologist Alan Crawley in a 2023 review of research on the topic. Our ancestors may not have screened movies, but in the absence of spoken language, they may have realized they could use clapping to signal danger, or frighten enemies.
Clapping’s simplicity and effectiveness make it a universal practice. While babies rarely clap before their first birthday, children master it quickly, gaining its global popularity. Unlike complex gestures (e. g., finger-clicking) , clapping produces loud, effortless noise — Crawley calls it the “non-vocal signal with the highest sound volume.” Socially, it balances politeness and enthusiasm, avoiding the rudeness of screaming, which allows clapping to adapt to contexts ranging from polite theater audiences to lively sports crowds. It also can be an act that strengthens social ties. During some hard times, the practice of organized clapping was, on the surface, about showing appreciation for key workers.
Clapping often spreads like a “social disease,” as observed in studies by Richard Mann in 2013. In academic settings, clapping typically begins with a few individuals, resulting in a chain reaction. Anyone in a crowd will know that a mere handful of clappers can sometimes cause a room of people to follow their behavior.
But what about super-long clapping? Why not just leave it at a minute or two? Back in 2013, Mann told BBC News that the length of clapping did not connect with the quality of the performance. “You have this social pressure to start clapping, but once you’ve started there’s an equally strong social pressure not to stop, until someone starts that stopping.” Then the conclusion would be this: no one in the room wants to be seen — or in the social media age, filmed — as the first one to stop.
12. What does Alan Crawley suggest about the origin of human clapping?
A. It was adopted to replace spoken language.
B. It developed from ancestors’ survival strategies.
C. It appeared as a form of entertainment during festivals.
D. It was first used to signal appreciation for performances.
13. Why is clapping a popular gesture across cultures compared to finger-clicking?
A. Clapping is louder and simpler to do.
B. Clapping is taught to babies earlier in life.
C. Clapping is more polite and more socially accepted.
D. Clapping is used to show appreciation especially in hard times.
14. What did Richard Mann’s 2013 study find about clapping?
A. People clap louder when they are in large audience.
B. Clapping spreads like a chain reaction in a group setting.
C. Clapping seems to have no connection with social pressure.
D. The quality of performances determines the length of clapping.
15. Where does the passage likely come from?
A. A film review magazine.
B. An entertainment news website.
C. A scientific journal on human behaviour.
D. A history textbook on human development.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unlike complex gestures (e. g., finger-clicking) , clapping produces loud, effortless noise — Crawley calls it the “non-vocal signal with the highest sound volume.” (不像复杂的手势(如:(例如,手指敲击),鼓掌产生响亮的,毫不费力的噪音-克劳利称之为“最高音量的非声音信号”。)”可知,与复杂手势(如打响指)相比,鼓掌能产生响亮且不费力的噪音。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In academic settings, clapping typically begins with a few individuals, resulting in a chain reaction. (学术场合,鼓掌通常从少数人开始,导致连锁反应。)”可知,在集体环境中,鼓掌通常由几个人开始,然后引发连锁反应。故选B项。
【15题详解】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲的是世界首届人形机器人半程马拉松比赛将于周六在北京举行。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:大约20支队伍将参加比赛,测试技术和耐力。句中谓语是will compete,空格处用非谓语动词,teams和test之间是主谓关系,因此用现在分词表主动,作状语。故填testing。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:比赛将在北京E-Town举行,参赛选手包括人类和机器人。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词race是比赛,因此用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:委员会官员梁亮表示,这是机器人首次在开放场地进行长距离挑战。official是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,committee是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:旨在推动机器人在现实条件下的移动极限,比赛将采用计时比赛形式。句中谓语是will adopt,空格处用非谓语动词,the competition和design之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此用过去分词表被动,作状语,位于句首的单词首字母大写。故填Designed。
【40题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:尽管到目前为止,参赛机器人已经进行了多次测试,但组织者表示,真实的赛道仍然存在很大的不确定性,比如粗糙的地面和机械应力。由until now可知,句子时态是现在完成时,主语robots是复数,因此空格处是have taken。故填have taken。
【41题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:尽管到目前为止,参赛机器人已经进行了多次测试,但组织者表示,真实的赛道仍然存在很大的不确定性,比如粗糙的地面和机械应力。由such as rough ground and mechanical stress可知,空格处用复数uncertainties。故填uncertainties。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:他们将这场比赛描述为一场“极限测试”,将暴露技术上的缺陷,并为未来的改进奠定基础。describe...as...是固定短语,意为“将……描述为……”,因此空格处用介词as。故填as。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:参赛机器人反映了各种设计理念和技术突破。a variety of是固定短语,意为“各种各样的”,因此空格处用variety。故填variety。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:这个活动的重要性在于让公众清楚地体验机器人技术的进步。空格处用副词clearly修饰动词experience,clearly意为“清楚地”。故填clearly。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Noetix机器人公司的目标是在不更换电池的情况下完成比赛。aim to do sth.是固定短语,意为“旨在做某事”,因此空格处用不定式to complete。故填to complete。

47. 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。
Your Name in Gold
Anne sat at the breakfast table, eating her cornflakes (玉米片). Anne’s older sister, Mary, sat across from her, reading the cornflakes box. “Hey, Anne,” she said, “look at this awesome prize — your name in gold.”
As Mary read on, Anne’s interest in the prize grew. “Just send in one dollar with proof-of-purchase seal from this box and spell out your first name on the information blank. We will send you a special pin (胸针) with your name spelled in gold. (Only one per family, please.)”
Anne grabbed the box, her eyes brightening with excitement. “That’s a neat idea,” she said. “A pin with my very own name spelled out in gold. I’m going to send in for it.”
“Sorry, Anne, I saw it first,” said Mary. Besides, “you don’t have a dollar to send in, and I do.”
“But I want a pin like that so badly,” said Anne. “Please let me have it!”
“Nope,” said her sister.
“You always get your way — just because you’re older than me,” said Anne, her lower lip trembling and her eyes filled with tears. She threw down her spoon and rushed out of the kitchen.
Several weeks passed. One day the mailman brought a small package addressed to Mary. Anne was dying to see the pin, but she wouldn’t let Mary know how eager she was. Mary took the package to her room. Anne casually followed her in and sat on the bed.
“Well, I guess they sent you your pin. I surely hope you like it,” Anne said in a mean voice. Mary slowly took the paper off the package. She opened a little white box and said, “Oh, it’s beautiful! Just like the cornflakes box said, your name in gold. Four beautiful letters. Would you like to see it, Anne?”
“No, I don’t care about your stupid pin.”
Mary put the white box on the dresser (梳妆台) and went downstairs.
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。
Anne was alone in the bedroom.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A wave of shame washed over Anne.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Anne was alone in the bedroom. Her eyes couldn’t help but wander to the white box sitting on the dresser. Despite her earlier words, curiosity gnawed at her. She slowly approached the box, her heart pounding in her chest. With trembling fingers, she opened it and gasped. The pin was even more exquisite than she had imagined, with her name “Mary” spelled out in gleaming gold. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized how much she had wanted it and how unfair she had been to Mary.
A wave of shame washed over Anne. She thought about how she had acted so selfishly, throwing a tantrum just because she couldn’t have what she wanted. She remembered how Mary had always been kind to her, sharing her toys and comforting her when she was sad. Anne knew she had to make things right. She carefully closed the box and went downstairs to find Mary, determined to apologize and ask for her forgiveness.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Anne和姐姐Mary吃早餐时,Mary发现玉米片盒子上的一个奖品活动——寄回一美元和购买凭证可获得一枚刻有自己名字的金色胸针(每个家庭限一个)。Anne非常想要,但Mary以自己先看到且Anne没有钱为由拒绝了她。几周后,邮差送来了一个寄给Mary的小包裹,Anne虽急切想看到胸针,却故意装作不在意。Mary打开包裹,展示了一枚刻有自己名字的金色胸针,并询问Anne是否想看,但Anne赌气拒绝了。
【详解】1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“安妮一个人在卧室里。”可知,第一段可描写Anne独自在卧室时,忍不住偷偷查看Mary的金色胸针,被胸针的精美所震撼,进而意识到自己之前的行为是多么不公平,内心充满愧疚与自责。
②由第二段首句内容“安妮感到一阵羞愧。”可知,第二段可描写Anne被强烈的羞愧感淹没后,内心展开深刻的自我反思与情感转变,最终促使她下定决心主动向姐姐道歉、寻求和解的过程。
2.续写线索:Anne好奇——Anne打开盒子——意识到自己的自私——想起Mary对自己的好——Anne决定道歉
3.词汇激活
行为类
①走近:approach/come close to
②意识到:realize/be aware that
③回想起:remember/recall
情绪类
①哭:tears well up in her eyes/shed tears
②伤心的:sad/grieved
【点睛】[高分句型1] She thought about how she had acted so selfishly, throwing a tantrum just because she couldn’t have what she wanted. (由how引导的宾语从句,现在分词作状语,because引导的原因状语从句和what引导的宾语从句)
[高分句型2] She remembered how Mary had always been kind to her, sharing her toys and comforting her when she was sad. (由how引导的宾语从句,现在分词作状语和when引导的时间状语从句)
