Only when students _____ willing to learn _____ be active in learning activities. A. will become; they can B. become; they can C. will become; can they D. become; can they 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查部分倒装和时态。句意：只有当学生愿意学习时，他们才会积极参与学习活动。第一空考查主将从现，这里时间状语从句中用一般现在时表将来，第二空考查部分倒装，“Only when...”引导条件状语从句，only+状语位于句首，主句用部分倒装，即将助动词提到主语前面，主句采用倒装结构“can they be active...”，强调“学生愿意学习”是“积极参与学习活动”的前提。故选D项。 2. For the students of senior 3, every minute ________ full use of ________ our lessons will get them well prepared. A. making; studying B. made; to study C. made; studying D. to make; studying 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词和固定搭配。句意：对于高三的学生来说，充分利用每一分钟学习我们的课程将使他们做好充分的准备。动词短语make full use of和名词every minute之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词作后置定语；make full use of every minute to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“充分利用每一分钟去做某事”，不定式作目的状语。故选B项。 3. ________ in her assignment, Mary didn’t notice her partner ________ in a new skirt. A. Absorbed; dressed B. Absorbing; dressed C. Having absorbed; dressing D. To be absorbed; dressing 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语。句意：玛丽全神贯注地做着作业，没注意到她的搭档穿着一条新裙子。分析句子可知，第一空考查非谓语作状语，主语Mary与absorb为被动关系，再由语境可知，应用过去分词；第二空考查非谓语作宾补，be dressed in，表“穿着”，为固定搭配，所以此空也应用过去分词。故选A项。 4. The air quality in the eastern cities, ____is shown in these reports, _____ improved over the past two months. A. that, have B. it, has C. as, has D. what, have 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和主谓一致。句意：正如这些报告所显示的，东部城市的空气质量在过去两个月里已经有所改善。分析句子可知，第一空考查非限制性定语从句，“as is shown in these reports”是固定表达，意为“正如这些报告所显示的”。as在此处指代整个主句内容，引导非限制性定语从句，可置于句首、句中或句尾；第二空中，句子主语是The air quality，为不可数名词，视为单数。时间状语over the past two months常与现在完成时连用，因此谓语动词用has improved。故选C项。 5. The discovery of new evidence led to ________. A. the thief having caught B. catch the thief C. the thief being caught D. the thief to be caught 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：新证据的发现导致小偷被捕。由句子结构可知，此处to是介词，其需接动名词作宾语，此处the thief作动名词的逻辑主语；the thief与catch之间是被动关系，所以此处需用动名词的复合结构的被动形式。故选C。 6. We should take into account students’ suggestion that the school library ______ more books on popular science. A. provide B. provided C. providing D. provides 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：我们应该考虑学生们的建议，即学校图书馆应该提供更多的科普书籍。suggestion（建议）后的同位语从句要使用(should)do的虚拟语气，其中should可省略，故选A。 7. ________ to the gift was a note on which he expressed his gratitude for our reception during his stay here. A. To attach B. Attaching C. Attached D. Having attached 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查倒装句型。句意：在礼物的后面附了一张便条，他对我们在他逗留期间对他的接待表示感谢。be attached to意为“被贴在……上”，为固定搭配。分析句子结构可知，此处使用了完全倒装句型，表语前置。故选C。 8. ---_________ makes your son feel blue today? ---_________ to watch his favourite cartoon Paw Patrol. A. What it is that; To be forbidden B. What is that; Forbidden C. What is it that; Being forbidden D. That is what; Having forbidden 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查强调句型和非谓语动词。句意：——是什么让你儿子今天心情不好？——不让他看他最喜欢的卡通《狗狗巡逻队》。分析句子结构可知，第一空为强调句型的特殊疑问句，即：疑问词What+ is it+ that+其余部分；第二空为非谓语动词，作主语用动名词，且son与forbide之间是被动关系，所以用Being forbidden，故C项正确。 【点睛】注意强调句型的特殊疑问句形式为：疑问词+ is it+ that+其余部分，根据句意“是什么让你儿子今天心情不好？”判断疑问词用what，即：What is it that makes your son feel blue today? 9. You can never imagine what great trouble I had ______ the poor boy and the little dog _____ were seriously hurt. A. help; which B. to help; that C. helping; that D. helped; who 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词及定语从句。句意：你无法想象我在帮助那个可怜的男孩和小狗时遇到了多么大的麻烦。have trouble doing sth为固定搭配，意为“做某事有困难”，故填helping；分析句子可知，第二个设空处是一个定语从句，先行词是“he poor boy and the little dog”既有人又有物，故应用that来引导。结合选项，故选C。 10. — What’s it that cost him the job? —________ experience. He was always very nervous. A. Lacked B. Being lacked C. Lacking D. Lacking of 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动名词。句意：——究竟是什么让他失去了这份工作？——缺乏经验。他总是很紧张。此处是一个省略句，完整句子应该是Lacking experience cost him the job.( 缺乏经验让他失去了这份工作。)，用来回答问句中的“what”，再根据句意可知要用动名词短语的主动形式Lacking experience(缺乏经验)在句中作主语；A项和B项都表被动，不符合句意；动词lack是及物动词，可直接接宾语，不需要用介词of，排除D项。故选C项。 11. With too much homework ______ and upcoming deadlines, he had no choice but to stay at home and focus on completing his assignments. A. having done B. to do C. doing D. being done 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：有太多作业要做，还有即将到来的截止日期，他别无选择，只能待在家里，专注于完成他的作业。本句为with的复合结构“with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”，根据句意及后文“he had no choice but to stay at home and focus on completing his assignments”可知，他有作业要完成，所以要待在家里，应用不定式作宾语补足语，表示动作尚未发生。故选B项。 12. There is a new problem _________ in the popularity of private cars that road conditions need _________. A. involved; improving B. involved; to improve C. involving; improving D. involving; to be improved 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：私家车的普及带来了一个新的问题，即路况需要改善。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语is，所以两个空均需使用非谓语动词形式。第一空，_____ in the popularity of private cars为后置定语修饰名词problem，动词involve与problem之间是被动关系，因此应用过去分词形式involved；第二空，need doing或need to be done为固定搭配，表示某事需要被做，所以第二空应填improving或to be improved，结合选项可知，只有A项符合题意。故选A项。 13. Whatever is ________ is _____ well. A. worthy of being done ; worthy doing B. worthy doing ; worth to be done C. worth being done ; worth of being done D. worth doing ; worthy to be done. 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查固定搭配。句意：任何值得去做的事，都值得好好去做。be worth doing，为固定搭配，表“值得被做”，其中主动表被动；而be worthy of being done或者be worthy to be done，也为固定搭配，表“值得被做”。故选D项。 14. I like getting up very early in summer. The morning air is so good . A. to be breathed B. to breathe C. breathing D. being breathed 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查不定式。句意：我喜欢夏天早起。呼吸早晨的空气是有益于身心的。形容词后面用不定式，主动表被动，故选B。 15. There is no need to worry too much.

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 blessing or a curse, 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 foster 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 ultimately 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. The classroom would soon be restored. D. His students were graduating from middle school. 40. Why are the writer’s family members mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To explain the family’s relations with his students. B. To demonstrate the family’s involvement in his job. C. To list the family’s contribution to the classroom. D. To show the family’s expectations for a new beginning. 41. What does the writer intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. Think of the end in every beginning. B. 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. Unconcemed. 【答案】39. C 40. B 41. D 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。由上课教室翻修引发作者对于“变迁”的些许感悟。无论一个人的生活环境如何，你都可以成为他们生活中的改变，这将给他们带来自我价值感，最终为他们提供机会，让他们成为自己想要的人。他们可能会继续改变世界。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The 22- million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go. (2200万美元的修复工作离开始只有几天了，我们接到指示，一切都必须进行)”可知，教室很快需要翻修，东西需要清理出去。故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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. (那天，我的父母迈克尔和唐娜，妻子劳拉和刚出生的孩子萨默降生了。学生们听说了很多关于我女儿的事，第一次见到她都很兴奋。将近19年前，我母亲帮我整理教室，从那以后就再也没见过它。我父亲和妻子来过几次。对我来说，那一天不仅标志着一个时代的结束，而且标志着一个新开始的开始)”可推断，第三段作者提到家庭成员是为了证明家人对他工作的参与。故选B。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a blessing or a curse, 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 foster 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 ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world. (变化，就像阳光，可以是朋友也可以是敌人，祝福也可以是诅咒，黎明也可以是黄昏。多年来，在与2000多名儿童共事的过程中，我学会了从乐观的角度看待事物，花时间培养与他人的关系，这会让世界变得更快乐、更安全。无论一个人的生活环境如何，你都可以改变他们的生活，给他们带来自我价值感，最终为他们提供机会成为他们想要成为的人。他们可能会改变世界)”可推断，作者认为积极的态度带来好的变化。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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. (我的心情是复杂的，因为我知道这将是我19年课堂上的告别派对，也是我最后一次看到所有这些学生在一起。我回想起他们都上中学的时候，在我生日那天来我的教室看我。他们把它变成了一年一度的传统。我将用我的余生来珍惜这些时刻)”、最后一段“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 foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place.( 多年来，在与2000多名儿童共事的过程中，我学会了从乐观的角度看待事物，花时间培养与他人的关系，这会让世界变得更快乐、更安全)”及全文可推断，作者的心情是复杂的，既有不舍的心情，也有乐观的心态，所以作者写这篇文章的语气是苦乐参半的。故选A。 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 cope 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. 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 in tourists visiting the Sanxingdui Museum? A. Tourists’ enthusiasm. B. Sichuan Province’s policy. C. The Qingming Festival holidays. D New archaeological discoveries. 44. What is TRUE 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 mean? A. Trial. B. Private. C. Official. D. Personal. 46. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Sanxingdui Museum gives tourists insights into Chinese history. B. Chinse people make full use of the Qingming Festival holidays to travel. C. The Sanxingdui Ruins are a perfect tourist attraction over the Qingming Festival holidays. D. New discoveries make the Sanxingdui Museum more popular during the Qingming Festival holidays. 【答案】43. D 44. C 45. A 46. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了由于新的考古发现，三星堆博物馆在清明节假期游客激增。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段内容“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.(在新的考古发现引起国际关注后，位于中国西南部四川省的三星堆博物馆在三天的清明节假期期间极受欢迎，高峰日接待了近2万名游客。)”及第三段最后一句“Since the new discoveries were known...increased sharply.(自从新的考古发现为大众所知后，参观三星堆博物馆的人数激增。)”可知，是新的考古发现使三星堆博物馆游客人数激增。故选D。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“And on the next day, more visitors swarmed into the museum to exceed 19,800.To cope 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.(第二天，更多的游客涌入该博物馆，超过了19800人。为了应对庞大的人流量，周日下午，三星堆博物馆官方微博账户发布消息，提醒游客避开高峰时间或重新安排参观时间。)”可知，三星堆博物馆立即对大量的游客作出了反应。故选C。 3.词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“and officially opened on May 18.(于5月18日正式开放)”可知，一个文物保护和修复大厅与5月18日正式运营，所以说于4月应该是试行运营，由此可推断pilot在此处意为“实验的；试点的”，与后边的officially对应。trial operation“试运行”。故选A。 4.主旨大意题。综合全文内容,尤其是第一段内容“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.(在新的考古发现引起国际关注后，位于中国西南部四川省的三星堆博物馆在三天的清明节假期期间极受欢迎，高峰日接待了近2万名游客。)”可知，本文主要讲述由于新的考古发现，三星堆博物馆在清明节假期极受游客欢迎，D项“新发现使三星堆博物馆在清明节假期更受欢迎。”适合做文章标题，故选D。 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 ‘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. 【答案】47. C 48. C 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明，50岁以上成年人频繁使用数字技术不易认知衰退，有三大原因，虽有局限，但挑战了“科技有害”的观点。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“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.( 然而，最近的研究表明，对于50岁以上的成年人来说，这些技术实际上可能会产生相反的效果。一项对近60项涉及41万名老年人的研究进行的全面分析发现，与较少使用智能手机、电脑和互联网的人相比，那些经常使用智能手机、电脑和互联网的人不太可能出现认知能力下降)”可知，最近的研究发现对于50岁以上的成年人，频繁使用数字技术的人相比使用少的人更不容易经历认知衰退，即经常使用科技产品对老年人的认知有好处。故选C项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The team focused on daily experience of dealing with digital technologies, and excluded ones focusing on gaming or brain-training.( 该团队专注于处理数字技术的日常体验，排除了专注于游戏或大脑训练的体验)” 可知，研究团队关注的是老年人日常使用数字技术的体验。故选C项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“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.( 第三，像GPS导航这样的数字工具可以帮助老年人更长时间地保持独立，确保他们即使在寻路能力下降的情况下也不会迷路)”可知，像 GPS 导航这样的数字工具可以通过提供方向和位置信息帮助老年人保持独立。故选B项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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 ‘technology equals bad’ in terms of brain and mental health.”(神经科学家Dean Burnett说，尽管荟萃分析的结果尚无定论，但它们表明，长期使用科技产品可能对大脑和认知有益。“这显然挑战了人们普遍的快速判断，即在大脑和心理健康方面，‘科技等于坏事’。”)”可知，Dean Burnett 认为这项研究挑战了“科技对大脑和心理健康有害”的普遍观点，说明他对研究结果是支持的。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。 Push yourselves beyond the limits Limits are blocks between you and your success.

If you’re not challenging yourself to do bigger and better things regularly, you’re only working within what you already can do.(突破自己的极限意味着接受更新、更难的挑战。如果你不经常挑战自己去做更大更好的事情，你只是在你已经能做的范围内工作。)”可知，上文指出不挑战自己做更大更好的事情，你就不会有进步。选项G“That’s a way to stay exactly where you are and make little or no progress.(这是一种原地踏步，几乎没有进步的方法。)”是对上文内容的总结。故选G。 【54题详解】 根据下文“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.(也就是说，没有一天你不为你的大目标而努力，至少是一点点。你可以花15分钟做一件小事，让你更接近你想要完成的大事情。)”可知，空处指的是每天都要努力，哪怕只是一点点。选项E“One good way is to adopt the approach of “No Zero Days”.(一个好方法是采用“无零日”的方法。)”与下文内容一致，建议读者每天都要努力。故选E。 【55题详解】 根据下文“Having someone to support you can balance out the impact of any negative thinking that may limit you.

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 blessing or a curse, 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 foster 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 ultimately 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.

To show the family’s expectations for a new beginning. 41. What does the writer intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. Think of the end in every beginning. B. 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. Unconcemed. 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 cope 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. 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 in tourists visiting the Sanxingdui Museum? A. Tourists’ enthusiasm. B. Sichuan Province’s policy. C. The Qingming Festival holidays. D. New archaeological discoveries. 44. What is TRUE 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 mean? A. Trial. B. Private. C. Official. D. Personal. 46. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Sanxingdui Museum gives tourists insights into Chinese history. B. Chinse people make full use of the Qingming Festival holidays to travel. C. The Sanxingdui Ruins are a perfect tourist attraction over the Qingming Festival holidays. D. New discoveries make the Sanxingdui Museum more popular during the Qingming Festival holidays. 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 ‘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.
