Along the way, cross the Noosa River and take the third beach access road to officially start your drive. One of the very first regions that you meet is the Great Sandy Biosphere. Continue north via Leisha Track to Rainbow Beach, a picturesque seaside town overlooked by colourful, towering sand cliffs (悬崖). Day 2: Rainbow Beach to K’gari After checking out of your accommodation, jump in the car for your next stop—the Great Sandy National Park. The park features K’gari—the largest sand island in the world and the only place where rainforest grows on sand. Drive to the southern end of the island. Once you get here, enjoy the pleasure of driving along one of Australia’s most famous sand roads, 75 Mile Beach. Day 3: K’gari to Hervey Bay It’s time to continue your Great Beach Drive adventure. Take the inland track west towards Kingfisher Bay and stop at Central Station. Next, make your way towards Lake McKenzie, one of the perfect swimming spots in the world.

Day 4: Hervey Bay to Noosa The drive from Hervey Bay to Noosa is still a lovely trip through farmland and forest. At Noosa, relax on one of the many Noosa River sunset cruises (乘船游览), or visit nearby Australia Zoo—made famous by the Crocodile Hunter. Steve Irwin.

B In 1899, a wealthy couple built a summer house in Maryland. Over time, the building had different uses, but today, it is part of a public performing arts campus called Strathmore — complete with a nearby concert hall seating nearly 2,000 people — that has developed around that first building. Jazz singer Christie Dashiell first came to Strathmore through its artist-in-residence program. Each year, this program selects six musicians between 16 and 32 years old and helps them with lessons, performances, and career advice. “I left college having so much music,” Dashiell says. “I had written so much music and I had practiced so much music. But I didn’t know what an artist was and what life looked like.” At Strathmore, Dashiell learned how to perform on stage, promote her music online, and plan concerts. And of course, she worked with other musicians to write songs and put on shows. It’s where Dashiell says she began to find not only her vocal talents, but the unique sonic signature that defines and distinguishes (区分) a jazz artist: her sound. Dashiell gave several concerts at Strathmore. In 2016, she released her first album (专辑) in its small music room. Later, when she created her second album, Journey in Black, she performed in a bigger venue at Strathmore. Journey in Black, which came out in late 2023, tells stories of love, loss, joy and friendship — all of us can relate to that, It combines jazz with gospel, R&B, and hip-hop. That recording has been nominated (提名) for the Grammy Award for best jazz vocal album. It is her first Grammy nod. “It feels good to be recognized in this way,” Dashiell says. “Very few artists are making music with the purpose of being nominated for a Grammy. That’s definitely not where I was coming from when I was making this music. I just wanted to make music that was honest and true in a way.” 24. What is a purpose of the artist-in-residence program at Strathmore? A. To explore the century-old building. B. To build a well-developed training system. C. To offer practical education on music. D. To select winners in a music competition. 25. After leaving college, Dashiell felt a sense of ______. A. loneliness B. uncertainty C. confidence D. satisfaction 26. What can be learned about the album Journey in Black? A. It came out in 2016. B. It mainly tells about love. C. It is widely relatable. D. It is Dashiell’s first album. 27. What does Dashiell think is more important for her? A. Producing heartfelt music. B. Getting a nomination for best singer. C. Winning a Grammy Award. D. Releasing albums as soon as possible. C About 4,700 years ago, King Djoser, the first ruler of Egypt’s Third Dynasty, built a pyramid in Saqqara, an ancient burial site in Egypt. No one knows exactly how the pyramid was built. It took millions of massive blocks. Some of those blocks weighed up to 2,500 kilograms. Experts have proposed several techniques-including ramps and cranes — to move such heavy stone blocks. They have also thought about rope-and-pulley devices and wooden rollers. Researchers now suggest that ancient people used a water-powered system to construct this pyramid. How? Builders would have controlled flows of water into and out of a large shaft (竖井) inside the pyramid. The water’s movement would have lifted and lowered a platform that carried building stones to higher levels. This idea comes from a study led by Xavier Landreau, a scientist who researches ancient technology. The team found that a branch of the Nile River once flowed near 31 pyramids, including Djoser’s. It’s dried up now. But boats carrying workers and building blocks could have traveled this branch of the Nile between 3,700 and 4,700 years ago. Landreau believes designers of Djoser’s pyramid developed techniques for controlling water flow. Landreau’s team created a computer model using data from the pyramid, underground waterways, and satellite images of the region. The model also included a nearby structure called Gisr el-Mudir, which may have collected rainwater. During heavy rains, this area might have turned into a lake, sending water into the pyramid’s shaft. Inside the shaft, a huge wooden float (浮子) may have been connected to ropes and pulleys. When water filled the shaft, the float would rise, lowering a platform to pick up stones. As the water drained (排空), the float would sink, pulling the platform and stones upward. Not all experts agree with this idea. Kamil Kuraszkiewicz, an Egyptologist at the University of Warsaw in Poland, questions whether the lake Gisr el-Mudir existed, as ancient records do not mention it. “Building the water-powered system,” he says, “would have required much more effort than to move the stone blocks using just manpower.” 28. What can we know about building the pyramid? A. Scientists have reached an agreement on it. B. Few stone blocks were transported by boat. C. There’s no widely accepted explanation for it. D. Rope-and-pulley devices were the main method. 29. What does Landreau’s study find? A. Waterpower likely gave a big lift to the pyramid builders. B. The branches of the Nile River were once badly polluted. C. The 3D model offers insights into the life in ancient times. D Pyramid designers developed techniques for fighting floods. 30. What does the author want to explain in paragraph 5? A. The exact purpose of Gisr el-Mudir. B. How the water-powered system works. C. The discovery of an underground river. D. Why Djoser’s pyramid was constructed. 31. What is Kamil’s attitude towards the new finding? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Uncaring. D A new study looked at data from more than 10,000 12- and 13-year-olds and their parents, who were asked about their screen-use habits, including texting, social media, video chatting, watching videos and surfing the Internet. The researchers also asked if their screen-use caused problems, like struggling to stop using screens or having trouble with school and daily life. One key finding stood out: One of the biggest factors of how much time kids spend on screens — and whether that use is problematic — is how much parents themselves use their screens when they are around their kids. “It’s really important to role-model screen behaviors for your children,” says Jason Nagata, lead author of the study. “Even if teens don’t think they are influenced by their parents, the data shows they are.” “Instead of beating ourselves up about it,” says Jenny Radesky, a researcher at the University of Michigan, “it’s important for parents to realize that just like kids, we are open to the draws of technology that is purposely designed to keep us scrolling (浏览).” But even if parents are fighting against bigger forces designed to keep us glued to screens, that doesn’t mean we are completely helpless. Nagata’s research also looked for solutions that worked best to limit screen-use specifically among teenagers because we tend to see kids spending a lot more time on social media once they hit their teenage years. Keeping meal times and bedtime screen-free helps kids spend less time on screens. Nagata’s earlier research also found that keeping screens out of bedrooms helps kids sleep better. Another key point: When parents use screens too much, kids notice that. Teens often feel their parents are distracted (注意力分散的) and unavailable because they are focused on their own phones. Given the design of technology, Radesky says the message shouldn’t be to blame (指责) the parents. The message should be to talk with your kids about why you feel so pulled in by screens. 32. What were the parents and kids asked to do during the study? A. Record their daily lives. B. Answer some questions. C. Send texts to each other. D. Have a chat with friends. 33. Who does the study show are a bigger influence on kids’ screen behaviors? A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. Classmates. D. Researchers. 34. What does the underlined word “draws” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Concerns. B. Principles. C. Attractions. D. Achievements. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The primary goals of Nagata’s research. B. Reasons why parents act as a role model. C. The advantages of living a screen-free life. D. Strategies for limiting screen time for kids. 第二节：（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共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。 Food gets wasted everywhere. ____36____.

I stepped from the coolness of the house into the heat of a summer day in Texas. “Wow, it’s better to make this quick,” I said to myself. As the sun beat down hard, I generously watered these plants. My dear daughter, Katherine, popped her head out the back door. “What are you doing out here, Mom?” I turned, using my shirt to wipe (擦拭) the sweat from my forehead so I could see her. “I’ve got to water everything, or they will die.” “Well, be careful. I’m off to class.” I continued my work to save my yard, ignoring the spots dancing before my eyes. Finally, I watered the last plant. With a sense of relief, I reached the back door, expecting the rush of cool air on my red face. Relief quickly turned to disbelief and shock: Katherine had locked the back door from the inside out of habit. My mind quickly processed a slideshow of reality: keys are in the house; my cellphone is a the house; three hours until my husband, Jonathan, comes home. I’m going to cook! My backyard was an oven (烤炉), and I was the picnic ham. I told myself to calm down and think. There had to be a way. I walked back and forth around the yard shouting “Help me!” at the top of my voice. No response at all, only the hot, dead-quiet heat. There was no shade (阴凉处) in the yard. The yard, so inviting in early morning, was now unbearable in the sun. Hopeless, I stood in front of the back door, looking at the kitchen through the opening on the door. Suddenly, I had an idea, and the idea had a name: Alexa—an AI voice service. Jonathan had told me that I could make hands-free phone calls with Alexa. Now she was there, just twenty feet away on the kitchen counter. Maybe Alexa could save the day. 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。 I struggled to push my head through the small opening, and shouted “Alexa!” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I heard the phone rınging, I was filled with all the joy. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 第1部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 1—5 BABBC 6—10 CAABC 11—15 ABAAB 16—20 BBAAC 第2部分 阅读理解（共两节, 满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分） 21 D 22.

Firstly, digital red envelopes via mobile apps have largely replaced traditional paper ones. Secondly, virtual family reunions through video calls allow people to connect instantly across distances. Moreover, online shopping platforms make festive preparations more convenient than ever. In my view, while technology brings efficiency, we should preserve traditional customs. Lighting firecrackers and writing Spring Festival couplets embody cultural heritage. Striking a balance between innovation and tradition will keep the festival’s spirit alive. 第二节（满分20分） 【参考范文】 I struggled to push my head through the small opening, and shouted “Alexa!” My neck ached from the uncomfortable position, but I kept calling. “Alexa, call Jonathan!” I shouted. At first, there was no response, and my heart sank. But then, I heard Alexa’s voice confirming the call. I waited nervously, praying Jonathan would answer. Every second felt like an hour in the burning heat. When I heard the phone ringing, I was filled with all the joy. After what seemed like ages, Jonathan picked up. “Jonathan! I’m locked out in the backyard, and it’s boiling hot!” I exclaimed, almost crying. He was shocked but quickly said he’d come home right away. I waited under the tiniest bit of shade I could find, counting down the minutes. Finally, I saw Jonathan’s car pull up. He rushed to the back door and let me in. I collapsed onto the cool floor, grateful to be back inside. From then on, I always double - checked the door before Katherine left. 试题 第7页（共10页） 试题 第8页（共10页） 试题 第9页（共10页） 试题 第10页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
