He used to make puppets and is now a farming officer in Yorkshire, England. Matt drew a lot of attention over the weekend when he went into nature dressed as a giant bird. It wasn’t just any bird, but a 10-foot-long costume of the Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬), a large wading bird in Europe known for its long, thin beak and decreasing population. Over the weekend, Matt walked 53 miles (about 85 kilometers) along the Nidderdale Way to raise awareness about the curlew’s decline. Matt affectionately called the costume “Cathy the Curlew”. It was made out of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) and bamboo. This unique challenge began on April 19, which is before World Curlew Day on April 21, which was created in 2017 to inform people about habitat loss, land-use changes, and climate change affecting the curlew. For Matt, this was as much an art project as it was a conservation effort. The journey took about two days. He started at Pateley Bridge on Saturday and finished at Brimham Rocks on Sunday. Along the way, news coverage and Matt’s talks with people he met helped spread the message to protect the curlew. The area where Matt hiked was once a main habitat for the curlews, but their population has significantly declined over the years. In 2015, the bird was added to the UK Red List for birds, indicating the highest conservation concern. “I’m really worried about the curlew, Matt said. “Every nest, chick, and egg matters. We need around 10,000 more curlews each year to reach a sustainable (可持续的) population,” he added. “Curlews need to successfully raise one chick (雏鸟) every two years, but they usually don’t manage that from the four eggs they lay each year. One chick every two years is what we need to have a sustainable population, but we are far from that goal.” 4. Why did Matt choose to dress as a Eurasian curlew? A. To warn the public of the species’ decline. B. To promote puppet-making skills. C. To get people to know about curlews. D. To celebrate World Curlew Day. 5. How did Matt’s hike contribute to raising people’s awareness of curlews? A. By calling on volunteers to hike with him. B. Through media reports. C. Through activities held by news media. D. By selling curlew costumes. 6. What can be inferred about the area where Matt hiked? A. Few curlews live there now. B. There used to be large curlew population. C. The habitat there is completely destroyed. D. It experienced a massive increase in curlews. 7. What do Matt’s words in the last paragraph mean? A. The curlew population is sustainable. B. Curlews are important for the ecosystem. C. Curlews should lay more eggs each year. D. The curlew population increases slowly. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了Matt身着白腰杓鹬的服装徒步53英里，旨在提高公众对该物种数量减少的认识，呼吁人们保护白腰杓鹬。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Over the weekend, Matt walked 53 miles (about 85 kilometers) along the Nidderdale Way to raise awareness about the curlew’s decline.(上周末，马特沿着尼德代尔之路走了53英里(约85公里)，以提高人们对白腰杓鹬数量减少的认识)”可知，Matt选择打扮成白腰杓鹬是为了提醒公众该物种数量的减少。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Along the way, news coverage and Matt’s talks with people he met helped spread the message to protect the curlew.(一路上，新闻报道以及马特与他遇到的人的交谈帮助传播了保护白腰杓鹬的信息)”可知，Matt的徒步之旅通过媒体报道提高了人们对白腰杓鹬的认识。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The area where Matt hiked was once a main habitat for the curlews, but their population has significantly declined over the years.(马特徒步的地区曾经是白腰杓鹬的主要栖息地，但多年来它们的数量显著减少)”可知，马特徒步的地区曾经是白腰杓鹬的主要栖息地，所以那里曾经有大量的白腰杓鹬。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Every nest, chick, and egg matters. We need around 10,000 more curlews each year to reach a sustainable (可持续的) population,’ he added. ‘Curlews need to successfully raise one chick (雏鸟) every two years, but they usually don’t manage that from the four eggs they lay each year. One chick every two years is what we need to have a sustainable population, but we are far from that goal.’(他补充道：“每一个巢、雏鸟和蛋都很重要。我们每年需要增加大约1万只白腰杓鹬才能达到可持续的数量。白腰杓鹬每两年需要成功养育一只雏鸟，但它们通常无法从每年产下的四个蛋中做到这一点。每两年一只雏鸟是我们实现可持续数量所需要的，但我们离这个目标还很远。”)”可知，每两年一只雏鸟是实现可持续数量所需要的，但现在离这个目标还很远，说明白腰杓鹬数量增长缓慢。故选D项。 C When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music. Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露) to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing. The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect. One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing. 8. Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text? A. Becoming famous. B. Getting courage to try new things. C Obtaining the ability to do things well. D. Having better brain health in later life. 9. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Typical. B. Absolute. C. Positive. D. Sufficient. 10. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults? A. It encourages them to sing more. B. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time. C. It lowers the chance of developing dementia. D. It helps them stay physically active. 11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To explain the importance of a hobby. B. To describe that singing is good for health. C. To tell us what we should do in daily life. D. To encourage people to join in music activities. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一项研究结果：演奏乐器可能会让孩子在以后的生活中更健康。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life.(一项研究发现，演奏乐器可能会让孩子在以后的生活中更健康)”可知，演奏乐器可能会让孩子在以后的生活中更健康，故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect.(研究发现，演奏一种乐器，尤其是钢琴，与更好的记忆力和思维能力有关。研究发现，在晚年继续演奏一种乐器会产生更salutary效果)”以及下文“Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. (唱歌也与老年人更好的大脑健康有关)”可知，此处是描述演奏乐器的积极影响，even more salutary是和前面的better一致，指“在晚年继续演奏一种乐器会产生更有益的效果”，salutary意为“有益的，积极的”，故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia.(她还建议，这些活动可以用来降低患痴呆症的风险)”可知，Anne认为音乐活动可以降低患痴呆症的风险，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life.(但这里有一些父母可以用来给孩子一个尝试的理由：一项研究发现，演奏乐器可能会让孩子在以后的生活中更健康)”和最后一段“Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing.(在参与调查的人中，89%的人说他们在生活中的某个时候玩过乐器，大约一半的人仍然在玩乐器。大约七成的人说他们参加过集体演唱)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究结果：演奏乐器可能会让孩子在以后的生活中更健康，所以作者的目的是鼓励人们加入音乐活动，故选D。 D If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. Many people use their phones before and after bedtime, especially young adults and teens. Still, you might want to stop soon. Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep, although the exact reasons are not completely clear. In a new study, researchers looked into this issue by using data from a large survey of 45, 202 university students in Norway. They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night. “Sleep problems are very common among students and have serious effects on mental health, school performance, and overall well-being,” says Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, a clinical psychologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “Because so many people use screens in bed, we wanted to see how different screen activities affect sleep. We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive (互动的) and can motivate (激发) emotions.” However, the study found that using social media is no worse for sleep than other screen activities. The type of screen activity doesn’t matter as much as the total time spent using screens in bed. The researchers found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities. This suggests that using screens in general is the main cause of sleep problems, likely because it takes up time that could be used for resting. “If you have trouble sleeping and think screen time might be a cause, try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep,” says Hjetland. “If you use screens, consider turning off notifications (通知) to reduce disruptions during the night.” 12. How does the author begin the argument? A. By listing different opinions. B. By referring to scientific data. C. By mentioning a common act. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 13. Why did researchers initially guess social media could affect sleep more? A. It included emotional inspiration. B. It contained violent content. C. It was entirely used by students. D. It required frequent physical interaction. 14. Which is the practical advice Hjetland provides? A. Reading e-books instead of social media. B. Avoiding using screen for a while before bed. C. Increasing daytime physical activity. D Stopping using screens after supper. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Screen Time in Bed May Increase Sleeplessness B. Good Sleep Is Key to Students’ Performance C. Social Media Has the Worst Effect on Mental Health D. Reading on Phones Is Common Among Teens and Young Adults 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了睡前使用电子设备对睡眠的影响，并通过一项大规模调查数据说明床上使用屏幕与失眠风险增加及睡眠时间减少的关联，最后给出实用建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段首句“If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. (如果你正在床上用手机阅读本文，你并不孤单。)”可知，作者通过描述一种普遍行为（睡前使用手机）引入话题。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland的观点“We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive and can motivate emotions. (我们认为社交媒体可能对睡眠更不利，因为它是互动的，可能激发情绪。)”可知，研究人员最初猜测社交媒体影响更大是因为其包含情感激发（emotional inspiration）。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Hjetland的建议“try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep (减少床上使用屏幕的时间，睡前至少30-60分钟停止使用)”可知，实用建议是睡前一段时间避免使用屏幕。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“床上使用屏幕”与“睡眠问题”的关联展开，重点说明屏幕使用时间（而非活动类型）是导致失眠的主因，尤其是第一段的“Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep (睡前或在床上使用屏幕被认为会扰乱睡眠)”以及第二段的“They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night. (他们发现，在床上使用屏幕会使失眠的几率增加59%，并且会导致每晚睡眠时间减少24分钟。)”可知，A项“床上使用屏幕可能增加失眠”最贴合主题，适合作标题。故选A项。 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。 The teenage years are crucial.

This old soccer ball in our display case is a symbol of his hard work and passion(酷爱) on the field. He always gave his all in the game, using his skills and spirit to inspire those around him. Grandpa’s soccer career was full of glory and memories. He often told me stories about his young days on the field, and I could feel his love for soccer. Influenced by Grandpa, my dad also fell in love with soccer. He ran, fought for the ball, and dribbled (运球) even better than Grandpa. Dad was the star of his team, and everyone thought he would have a bright future in soccer. However, in a key game, when Dad was only seventeen, he got badly injured in his back. He stayed in hospital for almost a year. From then on, Grandpa was very sad and heartbroken. He stopped playing soccer because every time he saw a soccer ball, he would remember Dad’s injury. When I was one year old, we followed an old tradition called zhuazhou. Grandpa placed many items around me to see what I would pick. These items might predict my future interests. There were a needle and thread (representing a ‘doctor or nurse), money (representing wealth), a pen (representing a writer), and a soccer ball. I crawled(爬) straight to the soccer ball and held it tightly. From that moment, soccer also became a part of my life, like a nature passed down through generations. I have been playing soccer for over seven years now. Every time I played, Grandpa would watch me with focused eyes, always reminding me, “Be careful, don’t fall! Slow down, watch your steps.” He was always there, guiding me just like he guided my dad. Although Grandpa hadn’t played soccer for a long time, his love for the game never faded. He always encouraged me, hoping I would love soccer as much as he did. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I was thirteen, Grandpa got very sick and went to hospital. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Grandpa gently passed the ball to me with all his remaining strength. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When I was thirteen, Grandpa got very sick and went to hospital. I visited him every day after school, and he always asked about my soccer training. One day, he called me to his bedside, his eyes full of determination. “Bring me the old soccer ball from the display case,” he said weakly. I rushed home to get it. When I returned, he held the ball excitedly, as if it was the most precious thing in the world. “This ball has witnessed our family’s love for soccer,” he whispered, his voice trembling. I knew that he had something important to tell me.​ Grandpa gently passed the ball to me with all his remaining strength. “This ball is now yours,” he said, his eyes shining proudly. “It carries the hopes and dreams of our family. Promise me you’ll keep playing, keep loving soccer, and never give up.” I nodded, tears streaming down my face. From that day on, the old soccer ball became my most precious possession. Every time I played, I could feel Grandpa’s presence, his love and encouragement guiding me on the field. I played not only for myself but for my dad and Grandpa, carrying on the family’s legacy of soccer. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述祖父视足球如生命，其足球生涯充满荣耀。受祖父影响，父亲也爱上足球，却因伤断送职业生涯，祖父为此不再踢球。作者一岁抓周时选中足球，从此与足球结缘，如今踢球时祖父总会在一旁关心指导，展现足球在三代人之间的传承与情感羁绊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“我十三岁那年，爷爷病重住院。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：爷爷住院期间，仍惦记足球，让作者取来旧球，说明它见证家族对足球的热爱。 ②由第二段首句内容“爷爷用尽残存的所有力气，将足球轻轻递给我。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：爷爷临终前将承载家族希望的旧足球传给作者，嘱咐作者坚持热爱，此后作者带着家族传承踢球。 2.续写线索：爷爷病重住院——让作者取来旧球——将其传给作者——嘱咐作者坚持热爱足球——作者带着家族传承踢球 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.拜访：visit/pay a visit to ②.返回：return/go back ③.小声地说：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①激动地：excitedly/with excitement ②.自豪地：proudly/with pride 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Matt drew a lot of attention over the weekend when he went into nature dressed as a giant bird. It wasn’t just any bird, but a 10-foot-long costume of the Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬), a large wading bird in Europe known for its long, thin beak and decreasing population. Over the weekend, Matt walked 53 miles (about 85 kilometers) along the Nidderdale Way to raise awareness about the curlew’s decline. Matt affectionately called the costume “Cathy the Curlew”. It was made out of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) and bamboo. This unique challenge began on April 19, which is before World Curlew Day on April 21, which was created in 2017 to inform people about habitat loss, land-use changes, and climate change affecting the curlew. For Matt this was as much an art project as it was a conservation effort. The journey took about two days. He started at Pateley Bridge on Saturday and finished at Brimham Rocks on Sunday. Along the way, news coverage and Matt’s talks with people he met helped spread the message to protect the curlew. The area where Matt hiked was once a main habitat for the curlews, but their population has significantly declined over the years. In 2015, the bird was added to the UK Red List for birds, indicating the highest conservation concern. “I’m really worried about the curlew, Matt said. “Every nest, chick, and egg matters. We need around 10,000 more curlews each year to reach a sustainable (可持续的) population,” he added. “Curlews need to successfully raise one chick (雏鸟) every two years, but they usually don’t manage that from the four eggs they lay each year. One chick every two years is what we need to have a sustainable population, but we are far from that goal.” 4. Why did Matt choose to dress as a Eurasian curlew? A. To warn the public of the species’ decline. B. To promote puppet-making skills. C. To get people to know about curlews. D. To celebrate World Curlew Day. 5. How did Matt’s hike contribute to raising people’s awareness of curlews? A. By calling on volunteers to hike with him. B. Through media reports. C. Through activities held by news media. D. By selling curlew costumes. 6. What can be inferred about the area where Matt hiked? A. Few curlews live there now. B. There used to be large curlew population. C. The habitat there is completely destroyed. D. It experienced a massive increase in curlews. 7. What do Matt’s words in the last paragraph mean? A. The curlew population is sustainable. B. Curlews are important for the ecosystem. C. Curlews should lay more eggs each year. D. The curlew population increases slowly. C When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music. Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露) to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing. The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect. One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing. 8. Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text? A. Becoming famous. B. Getting courage to try new things. C. Obtaining the ability to do things well. D. Having better brain health in later life. 9. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A.

D If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. Many people use their phones before and after bedtime, especially young adults and teens. Still, you might want to stop soon. Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep, although the exact reasons are not completely clear. In a new study, researchers looked into this issue by using data from a large survey of 45, 202 university students in Norway. They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night. “Sleep problems are very common among students and have serious effects on mental health, school performance, and overall well-being,” says Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, a clinical psychologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “Because so many people use screens in bed, we wanted to see how different screen activities affect sleep. We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive (互动的) and can motivate (激发) emotions.” However, the study found that using social media is no worse for sleep than other screen activities. The type of screen activity doesn’t matter as much as the total time spent using screens in bed. The researchers found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities. This suggests that using screens in general is the main cause of sleep problems, likely because it takes up time that could be used for resting. “If you have trouble sleeping and think screen time might be a cause, try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep,” says Hjetland. “If you use screens, consider turning off notifications (通知) to reduce disruptions during the night.” 12. How does the author begin the argument? A. By listing different opinions. B. By referring to scientific data. C. By mentioning a common act. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 13. Why did researchers initially guess social media could affect sleep more? A. It included emotional inspiration. B. It contained violent content. C. It was entirely used by students. D. It required frequent physical interaction. 14. Which is the practical advice Hjetland provides? A. Reading e-books instead of social media. B. Avoiding using screen for a while before bed. C. Increasing daytime physical activity. D. Stopping using screens after supper. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Screen Time in Bed May Increase Sleeplessness B. Good Sleep Is Key to Students’ Performance C. Social Media Has the Worst Effect on Mental Health D.

This old soccer ball in our display case is a symbol of his hard work and passion(酷爱) on the field. He always gave his all in the game, using his skills and spirit to inspire those around him. Grandpa’s soccer career was full of glory and memories. He often told me stories about his young days on the field, and I could feel his love for soccer. Influenced by Grandpa, my dad also fell in love with soccer. He ran, fought for the ball, and dribbled (运球) even better than Grandpa. Dad was the star of his team, and everyone thought he would have a bright future in soccer. However, in a key game, when Dad was only seventeen, he got badly injured in his back. He stayed in hospital for almost a year. From then on, Grandpa was very sad and heartbroken. He stopped playing soccer because every time he saw a soccer ball, he would remember Dad’s injury. When I was one year old, we followed an old tradition called zhuazhou. Grandpa placed many items around me to see what I would pick. These items might predict my future interests. There were a needle and thread (representing a ‘doctor or nurse), money (representing wealth), a pen (representing a writer), and a soccer ball. I crawled(爬) straight to the soccer ball and held it tightly. From that moment, soccer also became a part of my life, like a nature passed down through generations. I have been playing soccer for over seven years now. Every time I played, Grandpa would watch me with focused eyes, always reminding me, “Be careful, don’t fall! Slow down, watch your steps.” He was always there, guiding me just like he guided my dad. Although Grandpa hadn’t played soccer for a long time, his love for the game never faded. He always encouraged me, hoping I would love soccer as much as he did. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I was thirteen, Grandpa got very sick and went to hospital. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Grandpa gently passed the ball to me with all his remaining strength. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
