As hikers climbed Mount Tai, they were attracted by a robotic dog carrying waste on its back, under the control of a technologist. During the climb, the robot dog broadcast (广播) messages to encourage visitors to protect the mountain’s environment, bringing joy to the tired hikers. Mount Tai, a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, welcomed 8.62 million tourists last year. The complex terrain (地形) makes waste transportation more difficult. After studying different solutions, the government believes that using robotic helpers for transportation is a good choice. Tests were carried out over three days at the base, middle and top of the mountain. Equipped with a shelf and box that can carry 30 to 40 kilograms, the robot dogs were tested for climbing ability, carrying ability and emergency action on the mountain’s hard terrain. Results showed that they could reach the top of the mountain from the base within two hours, while the average time for adult tourists not carrying heavy things is about four hours. The robots can work for four to six hours on a full charge (充满电). During the tests, the robotic dogs adapted to over 80% of the mountain’s terrain, showing hopeful results in waste transportation. They became a unique attraction, with many tourists stopping to record moments with these lovely helpers. “I saw it climbing and took a photo with it. It’s truly amazing,” said Wang Yang, a tourist from Heilongjiang Province. “It would be more unbelievable if it could carry people up the mountain in the future.” 8. What is the main job of the robotic dogs on Mount Tai? A. To guide tourists. B. To clean the scenic area directly. C. To carry heavy things like rubbish. D. To protect the environment. 9. Which of the following is not mentioned about the robotic dogs? A. Its color. B. Its adaptation. C. Its appearance. D. Its function. 10. What can we infer from Wang Yang’s words about the robotic dogs? A. Tourists are not very practical at present. B. Tourists have high expectations for their future development. C. They will surely be used to carry people soon. D. They have some technical problems that need to be solved. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Robotic dogs are becoming a new tourist attraction on Mount Tai. B. The government is trying different ways to manage waste on Mount Tai. C. Robotic dogs are being tested for waste transportation on Mount Tai. D. Mount Tai is facing serious waste management challenges. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11.

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. 12. Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text? A. Becoming famous. B. Getting courage to try new things. C. Encouraging them to do things well. D. Having better brain health in later life. 13. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Typical. B. Absolute. C. Positive. D. Sufficient. 14. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults? A. It encourages them to sing more. B. It lowers the chance of developing dementia. C. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time. D. It helps them stay physically active. 15. 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】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究发现演奏乐器和唱歌对人晚年的大脑健康有益，尤其能降低患痴呆症的风险。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life.(一项研究发现，演奏乐器可能会使人在晚年拥有更好的大脑健康)”可知，孩子们学习乐器的一个好处是在晚年拥有更好的大脑健康。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“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，演奏乐器，尤其是钢琴，与更好的记忆力和思维能力有关。研究还发现，晚年继续演奏乐器会产生更salutary效果)”可知，“salutary”在这里与“better”呼应，表达积极的、有益的意思。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“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.(她说：“有很多证据表明，音乐团体活动对痴呆症患者有益。”她还建议，这样的活动可以用来降低患痴呆症的风险)”可知，Anne认为音乐可以降低老年人患痴呆症的几率。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“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.(但这里有个理由，家长们可以用它来激励孩子尝试：一项研究发现，演奏乐器或许能让他们在晚年拥有更健康的大脑。对于那些有其他更想做的事情的孩子来说，这可能不足以起到鼓励作用，但对那些热爱音乐的孩子而言，这无疑是个好消息)”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)”并结合文中对该研究的介绍可知，文章主要介绍了演奏乐器和唱歌对大脑健康的益处，尤其是对老年人降低患痴呆症风险有帮助，且最后提到参与调查的人多数有过相关音乐活动经历，由此可推断作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励人们参与音乐活动。故选D项。 第二节(共12.5小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5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。 Most of us enjoy travelling, whether we’re traveling abroad, or exploring where we live.

Once, in a small village at the side of a big forest, lived two best friends, Mia and Leo. They were both curious and adventurous, always exploring the nearby woods together. The forest was filled with towering trees, colorful wildflowers, and all kinds of animals. The villagers often warned them not to go too deep into the forest, as it was said to be dangerous. One sunny morning, Mia and Leo decided to go on another adventure. They packed some snacks, and a map. As they walked deeper into the forest, they were amazed by the beauty of nature. They met with rare birds and followed a sparkling stream. But as the day went on, they realized they had gone further than they had ever been before. The trees began to look all the same, and the path they were on seemed to disappear. Mia started to feel worried. “Leo, I think we’re lost,” she said, her voice trembling (颤抖) a bit. Leo tried to stay calm. “Don’t worry, Mia. We have the map. We’ll find our way back,” he replied, though he was also feeling anxious inside. They tried to go back exactly the way they have come, but every path seemed familiar yet different. The forest, once a place of wonder, now felt deathlike and unwelcoming. The sun was beginning to set, and the shadows grew longer. Mia and Leo knew they had to do something before night fell. Just as they were about to sit down and work out a plan, they heard a strange noise coming from the bushes nearby. It was a low angry sound. Mia held Leo by his arm, her eyes wide with fear. “What was that?” she whispered. Leo shook his head, not knowing the answer. They gathered their courage and carefully approached the bushes. 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。 To their surprise, Mia and Leo found an injured hiker lying there. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the hiker getting better, Mia and Leo knew they had to find a way out. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 To their surprise, Mia and Leo found an injured hiker lying there. The man’s ankle was swollen and covered in mud, and he explained that he’d slipped on a wet rock while chasing a rare butterfly. Though weak, he managed to tell them his name — Mr. Johnson — and that he’d been lost for hours. Mia immediately took out the first-aid kit from their backpack, while Leo used branches to make a splint for Mr. Johnson’s ankle. As they helped him, the hiker shared his knowledge of forest landmarks, pointing out a distant mountain peak visible through the trees. “That peak always faces east,” he said, “so if we head opposite, we’ll reach the village before dark.” With the hiker getting better Mia and Leo knew they had to find a way out. They supported Mr. Johnson between them, following his directions through the increasingly dim forest. The trio relied on the mountain peak as their compass, chatting about Mr. Johnson’s butterfly studies to ease their nerves. When they finally spotted the village’s faint lights, Mia and Leo felt a rush of relief and joy. The villagers, who had started a search party, cheered as the three emerged from the woods. That night, as Mia and Leo lay in bed, they realized the forest’s danger had taught them more than survival — it had shown them the power of courage and kindness, turning a scary adventure into a story of hope. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述Mia和Leo是好友，都爱冒险。一天，他们进森林探险，被美景吸引越走越深，结果迷路。太阳快落山时，森林变得可怕，正当他们打算制定计划时，听到灌木丛传来奇怪的声音，于是两人鼓起勇气靠近查看。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“令Mia和Leo惊讶的是，他们发现那里躺着一名受伤的徒步者。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Mia和Leo发现伤者的场景、伤者的状态以及孩子们的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着徒步者情况好转，Mia和Leo知道必须找到出路。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：在伤者情况好转后，三人如何合作寻找出路。最终他们领悟勇气与善意的力量。 2.续写线索：发现受伤者——营救——三人如何合作走出森林——被正在组织营救的村民发现——村民欢呼——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.帮助：help/assist/aid ②.说：say/utter ③.到达：reach/arrive at/get to 情绪类 ①.快乐：joy/happiness/delight ②.令人害怕的：scary/terrifying 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Part of our job loss benefit was a career counselling (咨询) service but I didn’t want anything to do with it. I was frustrated, depressed, and blamed myself for not being good enough. I was convinced I was a terrible worker and no company would ever want to hire me again. About a month after the layoff, I was drowning in my sorrows when a career coach from the counselling company called. He told me to just come in and talk to him. When I said I thought it was a waste of time, he told me to trust him and just try it. Plus it was already paid for so what did I have to lose? I went in and met with him. Not only did he totally improve my resume (简历) but he gave me a ton of good advice. He helped me see how unhappy I’d been in my previous position and that I really wanted to focus on a different area in my field. I ended up going to graduate school on his advice to get an advanced degree in a more specialized area. My new resume got me a lot of interviews and within a couple of months I was in a graduate program for professionals and working at an amazing job. It’s been nearly 10 years and now I say that getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me — that and trusting that career coach. 4. Why was the author laid off? A. Company reconstruction. B. Poor performance. C. Career change. D. New management. 5. How did the author feel after the layoff? A. Confident. B. Indifferent. C. Self-blaming. D. Hopeful. 6. What did the career coach do for the author? A. Found a new job. B. Arranged interviews. C. Paid the tuition. D. Perfected the resume. 7. What does the author think of the layoff now? A. A misfortune. B. A turning point. C. A waste of time. D. A professional failure. C Robotic dogs are expected to help transport waste on Mount Tai in Tai’an, Shandong Province, combining high technology with environmental protection to deal with the growing waste management challenges at this popular tourist destination. As hikers climbed Mount Tai, they were attracted by a robotic dog carrying waste on its back, under the control of a technologist. During the climb, the robot dog broadcast (广播) messages to encourage visitors to protect the mountain’s environment, bringing joy to the tired hikers. Mount Tai, a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, welcomed 8.62 million tourists last year. The complex terrain (地形) makes waste transportation more difficult. After studying different solutions, the government believes that using robotic helpers for transportation is a good choice. Tests were carried out over three days at the base, middle and top of the mountain. Equipped with a shelf and box that can carry 30 to 40 kilograms, the robot dogs were tested for climbing ability, carrying ability and emergency action on the mountain’s hard terrain. Results showed that they could reach the top of the mountain from the base within two hours, while the average time for adult tourists not carrying heavy things is about four hours. The robots can work for four to six hours on a full charge (充满电). During the tests, the robotic dogs adapted to over 80% of the mountain’s terrain, showing hopeful results in waste transportation. They became a unique attraction, with many tourists stopping to record moments with these lovely helpers. “I saw it climbing and took a photo with it. It’s truly amazing,” said Wang Yang, a tourist from Heilongjiang Province. “It would be more unbelievable if it could carry people up the mountain in the future.” 8. What is the main job of the robotic dogs on Mount Tai? A. To guide tourists. B. To clean the scenic area directly. C. To carry heavy things like rubbish. D. To protect the environment. 9. Which of the following is not mentioned about the robotic dogs? A. Its color. B. Its adaptation. C. Its appearance. D. Its function. 10 What can we infer from Wang Yang’s words about the robotic dogs? A. Tourists are not very practical at present. B. Tourists have high expectations for their future development. C. They will surely be used to carry people soon. D. They have some technical problems that need to be solved. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Robotic dogs are becoming a new tourist attraction on Mount Tai. B. The government is trying different ways to manage waste on Mount Tai. C. Robotic dogs are being tested for waste transportation on Mount Tai. D. Mount Tai is facing serious waste management challenges. D 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. 12. Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text? A. Becoming famous. B. Getting courage to try new things. C. Encouraging them to do things well. D. Having better brain health in later life. 13. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A Typical. B. Absolute. C. Positive. D. Sufficient. 14. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults? A. It encourages them to sing more. B. It lowers the chance of developing dementia. C. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time. D. It helps them stay physically active. 15. 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. 第二节(共12.5小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5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。 Most of us enjoy travelling, whether we’re traveling abroad, or exploring where we live.

Once in a small village at the side of a big forest, lived two best friends, Mia and Leo. They were both curious and adventurous, always exploring the nearby woods together. The forest was filled with towering trees, colorful wildflowers, and all kinds of animals. The villagers often warned them not to go too deep into the forest, as it was said to be dangerous. One sunny morning, Mia and Leo decided to go on another adventure. They packed some snacks, and a map. As they walked deeper into the forest, they were amazed by the beauty of nature. They met with rare birds and followed a sparkling stream. But as the day went on they realized they had gone further than they had ever been before. The trees began to look all the same, and the path they were on seemed to disappear. Mia started to feel worried. “Leo, I think we’re lost,” she said, her voice trembling (颤抖) a bit. Leo tried to stay calm. “Don’t worry, Mia. We have the map. We’ll find our way back,” he replied, though he was also feeling anxious inside. They tried to go back exactly the way they have come, but every path seemed familiar yet different. The forest, once a place of wonder, now felt deathlike and unwelcoming. The sun was beginning to set, and the shadows grew longer. Mia and Leo knew they had to do something before night fell. Just as they were about to sit down and work out a plan, they heard a strange noise coming from the bushes nearby. It was a low angry sound. Mia held Leo by his arm, her eyes wide with fear. “What was that?” she whispered. Leo shook his head, not knowing the answer. They gathered their courage and carefully approached the bushes. 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。 To their surprise, Mia and Leo found an injured hiker lying there. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the hiker getting better, Mia and Leo knew they had to find a way out. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
