Emily, an 87-year-old woman with silver hair who loved knitting (编织), and Jake, a 27-year-old musician, discovered something they both enjoyed in the most impossible place. Jake worked as a volunteer at the retirement home twice a week. One sunny afternoon, Emily sat in her favourite place in the yard, her knitting needles clicking softly. Nearby, Jake sat on a chair, playing his guitar, deep in thought. The lovely music from his guitar passed softly through the air. Interested in the music, Emily walked over to him. Her smile was as warm as the sun. “You play beautifully, dear,” she said. Jake looked up, surprised by her kind words, and offered a shy smile in return. From that day on, their friendship grew quickly. Emily told stories from her younger days, talking about how popular swing dancing was. Jake, in turn, introduced her to the world of modern music. He played songs that made her feel joyful and want to dance. They spent hours together, teaching and learning from each other. Emily helped Jake work through the troubles of life and love, while he lighted her love for music and adventure. They even started a small knitting and guitar club at the retirement home, bringing joy to the other people there. As the seasons changed, so did their lives. Emily’s knitting needles created a colourful scarf for Jake, while Jake wrote a heartfelt song to celebrate their friendship. Their friendship went across age, showing that friendship can last forever. Their heartwarming story became a symbol of hope for everyone who heard it—a sign that the most meaningful connections can be found in the most unexpected places. 22.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了养老院里87岁的Emily和27岁的志愿者Jake因音乐结缘并建立深厚友谊的故事，展现了跨越年龄的友谊力量。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Jake sat on a chair, playing his guitar, deep in thought. The lovely music from his guitar passed softly through the air.”以及“Interested in the music, Emily walked over to him.”可知，Emily是被Jake的吉他演奏吸引而主动接近他的。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Jake wrote a heartfelt song to celebrate their friendship”可知，Jake为Emily创作了一首歌纪念他们的友谊。故选C。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Their friendship went across age, showing that friendship can last forever.”并通读全文可知，故事核心是真正的友谊不分年龄。故选B。 C Have you got a good memory (记忆；记忆力)? If you answered “yes”, then you might want to think again. Research has shown that your memory may not be as good as you think. Since our memories help us remember the past, learn from our mistakes, and shape who we are, this may not be such good news. When we describe something that has happened to us, we often change small parts of the story each time we tell it. This may happen because we want what we say to sound true, or we want the listener to see the story in a certain way—like finding it funny or feeling sorry for us—so we might make changes consciously. Later, when we tell the story again, it is likely to be quite different from what we actually experienced. Think about those times when you were with friends and you experienced something amazing, exciting, or terrible together. You can be almost certain that their memory of the event (事件) isn’t quite the same as yours, even though you shared the same experience. Sometimes we even create “false memories” according to stories we know about ourselves. We don’t actually remember these events, but after hearing these stories so many times, we begin to imagine them and turn them into memories. Also, when we tell the same memory to different people, the way we tell the story may change, and that changes the memory too. The way we tell the story becomes our memory of what happened, whether or not it truly happened that way. Our memories change over time depending on our reasons for retelling them and how we retell them. Even as we go over a memory in our heads, we are likely to make small changes to it. And if we can’t remember some of the small details, we often make them up (虚构). What’s more, we usually don’t question our memories once we have them. So the last way we remembered something becomes the memory we accept as true. So, next time someone asks whether you’re telling the truth and you believe you are—you might still be wrong! 25. What does the word “consciously” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Without knowing. B. Without thinking. C. By mistake. D. On purpose. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. People remember things as they last described them. B. People with active imagination remember things more clearly. C. People create false memories to make their stories more interesting. D. People describe a memory the same way no matter who they tell it to. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How Memories Get Stronger Over Time B. Why You Can’t Trust Your Own Memory C. Why Remembering Things Can Be Difficult D. How to Improve Your Memory by Telling Stories 【答案】25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文通过科学研究揭示人类记忆的不可靠性，指出人们会无意识地修改记忆细节、产生虚假记忆，且记忆会因讲述目的和对象不同而改变，最终强调我们自以为真实的记忆可能并不准确。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“we might make changes consciously”上下文可知，这里指我们会有意地（on purpose）改变故事细节以满足讲述目的。划线词所在句提到“为了让故事听起来真实或让听众以特定方式看待故事”，说明这种改变是主动行为。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So the last way we remembered something becomes the memory we accept as true”和全文对记忆重构过程的描述可知，人们最终会将最后描述的内容当作真实记忆。故选A。 【27题详解】 最佳标题题。全文通过记忆的可塑性、虚假记忆的产生、讲述方式对记忆的影响等，说明人类记忆不可靠的核心观点。选项中B项“为什么不能相信自己的记忆”最契合主题。故选B。 D What is success? Is it winning a competition or getting an amazing job? Or is it cooking a dish without burning it? Well, success is basically the achievement (成就) of a goal or purpose, no matter how big or small. Success motivates (激励) us and gives us confidence. According to scientists, it is closely connected with happiness. Although success can mean reaching any kind of goal, it is often connected with achievement in our work. Of course, the media (媒体) plays a huge part in shaping this idea of success. Magazines and websites often have articles and talks about the secret to success, usually written by rich or famous people. To them, success means being fit, beautiful, and rich. Because of this, many of us believe that we must achieve something amazing to be successful. For some people, this idea of success can encourage them to reach great goals. However, others may find it hard to manage the pressure (压力), which can result in a fear (害怕) of success. You may feel this fear when you have to give a speech in public or take on a new and difficult job. It often comes with worry and even physical problems like headaches. As a result, we might do anything to avoid the situation. We might make up excuses to avoid speaking or say no to the new job. But this can stop us from moving forward in life and can make us feel even more worried. One way to deal with the fear of success is to change how we think about it. We should try to set goals that are realistic and easier to achieve. We can also work on everyday tasks that we can improve. It is helpful not to compare ourselves to others and their achievements. Instead, we should think about what we can do and how to grow those skills. Research suggests that this can help us feel happier and more motivated. Some research suggests that happy people are more likely to succeed. We might say that happiness leads to success. According to this idea, it may be more meaningful to spend time doing things that make us happy rather than worrying about what we are good at or how successful we appear. 28. Why does the author mention the media in Paragraph 2? A. To discuss why successful people are rich and famous. B. To explain how people form a common idea of success. C To advise people to question the truth of media messages. D. To show how the media motivates people to achieve their dreams. 29. What do we know about the fear of success according to the passage? A. It can keep people from making progress in life. B. It stops people from comparing themselves to others. C. People should see it as an encouragement to succeed. D. People with it are usually not interested in achieving goals. 30. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To describe the connection between happiness and success. B. To provide suggestions on different ways to achieve success. C. To warn people of the dangers of paying too much attention to success. D. To encourage people to achieve success through small progress and happiness. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了成功以及其带来的好处。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Of course, the media plays a huge part in shaping this idea of success.”可知，作者是为了解释人们如何形成对成功的共同看法。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, others may find it hard to manage the pressure, which can result in a fear of success. You may feel this fear when you have to give a speech in public or take on a new and difficult job. It often comes with worry and even physical problems like headaches. As a result, we might do anything to avoid the situation. We might make up excuses to avoid speaking or say no to the new job. But this can stop us from moving forward in life and can make us feel even more worried.”可知，这会阻止我们在生活中前进，让我们感到更加担忧。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“One way to deal with the fear of success is to change how we think about it. We should try to set goals that are realistic and easier to achieve.”和“Some research suggests that happy people are more likely to succeed.”可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励人们通过小小的进步和幸福来取得成功。故选D。 第二部分 本部分共9题，共23分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(31、32、33小题每题2分，34小题3分，共9分) Kids in a Cashless World: Are We Losing the Feel of Real Money? Not too long ago saving money meant putting coins into a piggy bank or hiding notes in a secret place. Buying snacks meant handing over real cash and feeling every cent you spent. But in today’s world, money doesn’t jingle (叮当) or crinkle (起皱)—it clicks. For many kids, digital payments are becoming part of everyday life. With smartphones or cards, it’s common to buy things without cash. According to NewsHour, about half of kids aged 10 to 12 own a smartphone. Some families are using apps to help kids manage money. Digital money is easy to carry, and you don’t have to worry about losing notes or carrying coins. But when money becomes just numbers on a screen, it can feel less real. And when money doesn’t feel real, it’s easier to spend too much without thinking. Scientists say that kids learn best through hands-on experiences. When you count change or hand over cash, you understand its value more clearly. It feels like something you’re giving up. But when you buy something online or tap your phone, nothing feels like it’s missing. That small difference can change the way kids think about money. Still, many kids are learning how to manage money in this new digital world. When NewsHour asked students questions about money, one kid quickly answered that there are 15 quarters in $3.75. Even without using coins, some kids are excellent at money maths. But managing money isn’t just about maths—it’s also about habits (习惯). To help kids form good habits, many parents use tools to give their children money for doing chores. These tools help kids divide (分开) their money into “spend”, “save”, and “give”, and let parents keep an eye on how the money is used. Some apps also teach lessons about saving and investing (投资). Schools are also taking part, offering classes on money management. Talking about money at home is just as important. Whether using cash or cards, learning how to plan for spending and save for future goals helps kids feel confident with money. Living in a cashless world isn’t a bad thing, but it means kids need new skills. With the right support from parents, teachers, and technology, they can grow up to be financially (经济上) smart—even without ever carrying a coin. 31.

What are the advantages of digital money mentioned in the passage? __________________________________________ 33.

In these classes, the foreign students can learn useful words and sentences for daily life. Second, they can visit some famous places to learn about China’s history. During the visit, they can try local food, shop at markets, and practise speaking Chinese with people. Third, they can stay with Chinese families. By staying with local families, they can learn how Chinese people use language in real life, understand our family culture, and make new friends. I believe these activities will not only improve their language skills but also give them a deeper understanding of Chinese life and culture. I hope my idea can help.

(二)阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 B In the heart of Maplewood retirement Home (养老院), where quiet stories filled the air, something special began between two very different people. Emily, an 87-year-old woman with silver hair who loved knitting (编织), and Jake, a 27-year-old musician, discovered something they both enjoyed in the most impossible place. Jake worked as a volunteer at the retirement home twice a week. One sunny afternoon, Emily sat in her favourite place in the yard, her knitting needles clicking softly. Nearby, Jake sat on a chair, playing his guitar, deep in thought. The lovely music from his guitar passed softly through the air. Interested in the music, Emily walked over to him. Her smile was as warm as the sun. “You play beautifully, dear,” she said. Jake looked up, surprised by her kind words, and offered a shy smile in return. From that day on, their friendship grew quickly. Emily told stories from her younger days, talking about how popular swing dancing was. Jake, in turn, introduced her to the world of modern music. He played songs that made her feel joyful and want to dance. They spent hours together, teaching and learning from each other. Emily helped Jake work through the troubles of life and love, while he lighted her love for music and adventure. They even started a small knitting and guitar club at the retirement home, bringing joy to the other people there. As the seasons changed so did their lives. Emily’s knitting needles created a colourful scarf for Jake, while Jake wrote a heartfelt song to celebrate their friendship. Their friendship went across age, showing that friendship can last forever. Their heartwarming story became a symbol of hope for everyone who heard it—a sign that the most meaningful connections can be found in the most unexpected places. 22. What brought Emily and Jake together first? A. A music class. B. A birthday party. C. Jake’s guitar playing. D. Emily’s knitting club. 23 What did Jake do for Emily? A. He taught her to dance. B. He started a music club. C. He wrote a song for her. D. He created a scarf for her. 24. What is the main message of the story? A. Hobbies make life enjoyable. B. Real friendship knows no age. C. Music is a language that bridges ages. D. Life lessons always pass from the old to the young. C Have you got a good memory (记忆；记忆力)? If you answered “yes”, then you might want to think again. Research has shown that your memory may not be as good as you think. Since our memories help us remember the past, learn from our mistakes, and shape who we are, this may not be such good news. When we describe something that has happened to us, we often change small parts of the story each time we tell it. This may happen because we want what we say to sound true, or we want the listener to see the story in a certain way—like finding it funny or feeling sorry for us—so we might make changes consciously. Later, when we tell the story again, it is likely to be quite different from what we actually experienced. Think about those times when you were with friends and you experienced something amazing, exciting, or terrible together. You can be almost certain that their memory of the event (事件) isn’t quite the same as yours, even though you shared the same experience. Sometimes we even create “false memories” according to stories we know about ourselves. We don’t actually remember these events, but after hearing these stories so many times, we begin to imagine them and turn them into memories. Also, when we tell the same memory to different people, the way we tell the story may change, and that changes the memory too. The way we tell the story becomes our memory of what happened, whether or not it truly happened that way. Our memories change over time depending on our reasons for retelling them and how we retell them. Even as we go over a memory in our heads, we are likely to make small changes to it. And if we can’t remember some of the small details, we often make them up (虚构). What’s more, we usually don’t question our memories once we have them. So the last way we remembered something becomes the memory we accept as true. So, next time someone asks whether you’re telling the truth and you believe you are—you might still be wrong! 25. What does the word “consciously” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Without knowing. B. Without thinking. C. By mistake. D. On purpose. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. People remember things as they last described them. B. People with active imagination remember things more clearly. C. People create false memories to make their stories more interesting. D. People describe a memory the same way no matter who they tell it to. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How Memories Get Stronger Over Time B. Why You Can’t Trust Your Own Memory C. Why Remembering Things Can Be Difficult D. How to Improve Your Memory by Telling Stories D What is success? Is it winning a competition or getting an amazing job? Or is it cooking a dish without burning it? Well, success is basically the achievement (成就) of a goal or purpose, no matter how big or small. Success motivates (激励) us and gives us confidence. According to scientists, it is closely connected with happiness. Although success can mean reaching any kind of goal, it is often connected with achievement in our work. Of course, the media (媒体) plays a huge part in shaping this idea of success. Magazines and websites often have articles and talks about the secret to success, usually written by rich or famous people. To them, success means being fit, beautiful, and rich. Because of this, many of us believe that we must achieve something amazing to be successful. For some people, this idea of success can encourage them to reach great goals. However, others may find it hard to manage the pressure (压力), which can result in a fear (害怕) of success. You may feel this fear when you have to give a speech in public or take on a new and difficult job. It often comes with worry and even physical problems like headaches. As a result, we might do anything to avoid the situation. We might make up excuses to avoid speaking or say no to the new job. But this can stop us from moving forward in life and can make us feel even more worried. One way to deal with the fear of success is to change how we think about it. We should try to set goals that are realistic and easier to achieve. We can also work on everyday tasks that we can improve. It is helpful not to compare ourselves to others and their achievements. Instead, we should think about what we can do and how to grow those skills. Research suggests that this can help us feel happier and more motivated. Some research suggests that happy people are more likely to succeed. We might say that happiness leads to success. According to this idea, it may be more meaningful to spend time doing things that make us happy rather than worrying about what we are good at or how successful we appear. 28. Why does the author mention the media in Paragraph 2? A. To discuss why successful people are rich and famous. B. To explain how people form a common idea of success. C. To advise people to question the truth of media messages. D. To show how the media motivates people to achieve their dreams. 29. What do we know about the fear of success according to the passage? A. It can keep people from making progress in life. B. It stops people from comparing themselves to others. C. People should see it as an encouragement to succeed. D. People with it are usually not interested in achieving goals. 30. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To describe the connection between happiness and success. B. To provide suggestions on different ways to achieve success. C. To warn people of the dangers of paying too much attention to success. D. To encourage people to achieve success through small progress and happiness. 第二部分 本部分共9题，共23分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(31、32、33小题每题2分，34小题3分，共9分) Kids in a Cashless World: Are We Losing the Feel of Real Money? Not too long ago, saving money meant putting coins into a piggy bank or hiding notes in a secret place. Buying snacks meant handing over real cash and feeling every cent you spent. But in today’s world, money doesn’t jingle (叮当) or crinkle (起皱)—it clicks. For many kids, digital payments are becoming part of everyday life. With smartphones or cards, it’s common to buy things without cash. According to NewsHour, about half of kids aged 10 to 12 own a smartphone. Some families are using apps to help kids manage money. Digital money is easy to carry, and you don’t have to worry about losing notes or carrying coins. But when money becomes just numbers on a screen, it can feel less real. And when money doesn’t feel real, it’s easier to spend too much without thinking. Scientists say that kids learn best through hands-on experiences. When you count change or hand over cash, you understand its value more clearly. It feels like something you’re giving up. But when you buy something online or tap your phone, nothing feels like it’s missing. That small difference can change the way kids think about money. Still, many kids are learning how to manage money in this new digital world. When NewsHour asked students questions about money, one kid quickly answered that there are 15 quarters in $3.75. Even without using coins, some kids are excellent at money maths. But managing money isn’t just about maths—it’s also about habits (习惯). To help kids form good habits, many parents use tools to give their children money for doing chores. These tools help kids divide (分开) their money into “spend”, “save”, and “give”, and let parents keep an eye on how the money is used. Some apps also teach lessons about saving and investing (投资). Schools are also taking part, offering classes on money management. Talking about money at home is just as important. Whether using cash or cards, learning how to plan for spending and save for future goals helps kids feel confident with money. Living in a cashless world isn’t a bad thing, but it means kids need new skills. With the right support from parents, teachers, and technology, they can grow up to be financially (经济上) smart—even without ever carrying a coin. 31.
