Smart homes make this possible! With technologies like AI and the Internet of Things (IoT), ordinary houses are becoming intelligent. How It Works: Smart homes use sensors (传感器) and Wi-Fi to connect devices. For example: ·Lights that turn on automatically when you enter a room ·Fridges that remind you to buy milk ·Security cameras you can check from your phone Benefits: 1. Convenience—Control devices from far places 2. Safety—Get alerts about smoke or water leaks 3. Energy Saving—Smart thermostats adjust (调节) temperature automatically Concerns: Some worry about hackers breaking into home systems. Others find the technology expensive. But prices are dropping yearly making smart homes more popular. 21. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Smart homes are too expensive. B. Technology makes homes more convenient. C. All homes will have robots by 2025. D. Wi-Fi is dangerous for health. 22. What can a smart fridge do? A. Cook meals automatically. B. Talk to your neighbors. C. Clean itself every day. D. Remind you to buy food. 23. Why are some people worried about smart homes? A. Hackers might break into the system. B. They use too much electricity. C. The devices are too colorful. D. They make houses too cold. B ①Happy as a pig in mud. It’s a funny saying, isn’t it? For much of the past century, scientists thought non-human animals didn’t have emotions. But recently, we've learned that they're more intelligent than we thought and they do have emotions. ②Frans de Waal, a primatologist at Emory University, believes that many animals feel fear, pride, hope, joy, and happiness. However, they don't experience these emotions the same way as we do. “We can observe animals and guess how they feel or look at their hormones (激素) and see if they’re stressed, but we can’t really know how they feel inside—we're just making our best guesses.” says Fay Clark at the University of Bristol. So, how can we tell what they’re feeling inside more scientifically? ③To better understand animals, scientists started looking at animals’ faces. Researchers have found that horses, cows, and rabbits make certain facial expressions when they are in pain. Sara Hintze of the University of Natural Resources says that positive emotions are harder to read, but researchers are beginning to explore the signs of positive emotions and there’s still a lot to learn. ④Researchers have had more success with vocalizations. In a study from 2022, one scientist, Elodie Briefer, and her team made a computer program to tell whether pigs’ noises are negative or positive. They used more than 7000 recordings from different situations. In situations thought to be positive, such as when pigs were running free, eating, or expecting a reward, they usually made sounds like grunts and barks. In negative situations, such as when they were fighting or being handled by humans, their grunts and barks were longer and deeper, or they made loud squeals and screams. ⑤These new findings help start campaigns (运动) to move from just stopping animals suffering (受罪), to doing everything we can to make sure they live happy lives. This is especially true for animals living on farms or in zoos. Briefer says that people will soon realize that understanding animals’ feelings is an important part of caring for them, maybe even as important as their health. 24. What can we learn from the passage? A. Animals have the same emotions as humans do. B. Animals make facial expressions to show happiness. C. We’ve done well in caring for animals’ mental health. D. We’re still on the way to read animals’ positive emotions. 25. The underlined word “vocalizations” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”. A. actions B. sounds C. emotions D. looks 26. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Make Full Use of Animals’ Intelligence B. Keep an Eye on Taking Care of Animals C. Take a Close Look at Animals’ Emotions D. Find a Way to Record Animals’ Emotions 27. What is the structure (结构) of this article? A. B. C. D. C In ancient China, there were “four treasures of the study”—the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台). Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved. The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao. In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang, got to know Shanxi Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills. It was easier said than done. It took the father and the son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones. But the father and son did not stop here. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence of the Chengni inkstone. 28. What do we know about the Chengni inkstone? A. It has quite a long history. B. It was popular only in Shanxi Province. C. It became famous in the late Qing Dynasty. D. It first appeared during the Eastern Han Dynasty. 29 When did Lin Yongmao and LinTao win a gold prize? A. In 1984. B. In 1986. C. In 1991. D. In 1994. 30. What’s the purpose (目的) of Paragraph 4? A To tell readers how to produce the Chengni inkstone. B. To explain how hard it was to revive the Chengni inkstone. C. To encourage readers to learn about China’s famous inkstones. D. To help readers understand the importance of the Chengni inkstone. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Inkstones in ancient China B. Best inkstone makers in China C Bringing ancient skills back to life D. Introducing inkstones to the world D Many people hold the belief that the personality you have by your 20s will stay the same and remain unchanged for the rest of your life. However, research shows that with intention and effort, you can develop new traits (特点) and improve yourself throughout your lifetime. According to Mohsen Joshanloo from Keimyung University, “Personality theories have emphasized the importance of the changing nature of personality traits.” This suggests that your personality is not fixed and can evolve. Joshanloo further argues that a key factor in this slow process is having a sense of purpose. The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) led by Joshanloo, collected data from more than11,000 adults over four periods (时期) between 2010 and 2022. Participants filled out a 31-question survey about their personality traits, assessing traits such as openness and agreeableness. They also finished a 7-item questionnaire about feeling a sense of purpose, with questions like “I enjoy making plans for the future.” The results showed that people who felt more purposeful became more open to new things and less worried over time. So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life? Joshanloo suggests understanding and practicing the theory of “Purpose As Trait, Habit, and State” (PATHS). At the trait level, a sense of purpose can be viewed as an overall life goal. At the habit level, it involves engaging in daily, purposeful behaviors. And at the state level, it describes the moment-to-moment feeling that one’s actions are meaningful. Therefore, start with small actions. To practice this “bottom-up” approach, you can start by adding small, meaningful activities into your daily routine. Instead of stressing big life goals, try engaging in enjoyable activities, like taking up a new hobby whether it’s drawing, cooking, or something else. These small, meaningful actions can gradually build a stronger sense of purpose. In summary, shaping your personality may be not that difficult. By making easy changes in your daily life and developing a sense of purpose, you can take meaningful steps toward personal growth. 32. What does the word “evolve” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. change at once B. develop over time C. get worse easily D. stay the same 33. According to Joshanloo, people can probably build a stronger sense of purpose by ________. A. drawing mind maps about life B. beginning with simple actions C. doing as many tasks as possible D. looking back on childhood successes 34. What can we learn from the passage? A We can develop new traits without any efforts or intentions. B. A higher sense of purpose can encourage us to realize dreams. C. Key factors in personal growth are openness and agreeableness. D. The theory of PATHS helps us build a stronger sense of purpose. 35. Which could be the best title for this passage? A. Simple Steps to Build a Meaningful Life B. Influence of Personality Traits on Growth C. The Power of Purpose in Shaping Personality D. The Roles of Habits in Changing Our Actions 五、信息还原(共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) The Importance of Reading Reading is one of the most important skills we can develop.

For thousands of years, Chinese people have created beautiful artworks to celebrate life, festivals, and hopes. Let’s explore some amazing forms of these traditions! 1. Paper Cutting: Windows Full of Wishes Using simple tools like scissors and red paper, artists cut out delicate patterns. You might see blooming flowers, jumping fish, or the Chinese character Fu for good luck. During the Spring Festival, families stick paper cuttings on windows to welcome happiness. In rural villages, grandmothers still teach children this skill. 2. Clay Art: Stories Shaped by Hands In Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province, artists mix clay with water and shape it into tigers, rabbits, or even heroes from Chinese stories. After drying, they paint the figures with bright colors like red, green, and gold. These clay toys are not just for play—people believe they can drive away bad luck. 3. Shadow Puppets: Dancing Silhouettes Over 2,000 years ago, shadow puppetry began. Performers use leather puppets painted in bold colors. Behind a white cloth screen, they move the puppets’ arms and legs with sticks. At the same time, they sing old tales about kings, warriors, and dragons. Long before TV existed, this was “ancient Chinese cinema”! 4. Chinese Knots: Threads of Blessings A single red silk thread can become a lucky knot! These knots have no beginning or end, symbolizing endless love and family unity. People hang them on doors during weddings or give them to friends as New Year gifts. Some complex knots even look like butterflies or flowers. 5. New Year Paintings: Colors of Joy Before the Lunar New Year, families buy nianhua—bright paintings of plump babies, gods, or mountains. Artists print these paintings on woodblocks, then add colors by hand. People put them on walls to wish for health and a rich harvest. Why Keep Folk Art Alive? Today, museums and schools work together to protect these arts. Young artists mix traditional skills with modern designs. For example, some use paper cuttings to make birthday cards, while others create emoji-style clay figures. As the saying goes, “A country without old traditions is like a tree without roots.” 56. What do people use to make paper cuttings? _______________________________________________ 57. Why do Fengxiang clay toys have bright colors? _______________________________________________ 58. How old is shadow puppetry according to the text? _______________________________________________ 59. What do Chinese knots symbolize? _______________________________________________ 60. What are two ways people protect folk arts today? (不限字数) _______________________________________________ 九、首字母填空(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) A Chinese knot is woven (编织) with a single rope.

It’s a funny saying, isn’t it? For much of the past century, scientists thought non-human animals didn’t have emotions. But recently, we've learned that they're more intelligent than we thought and they do have emotions. ②Frans de Waal, a primatologist at Emory University, believes that many animals feel fear, pride, hope, joy, and happiness. However, they don't experience these emotions the same way as we do. “We can observe animals and guess how they feel or look at their hormones (激素) and see if they’re stressed, but we can’t really know how they feel inside—we're just making our best guesses.” says Fay Clark at the University of Bristol. So, how can we tell what they’re feeling inside more scientifically? ③To better understand animals, scientists started looking at animals’ faces. Researchers have found that horses, cows, and rabbits make certain facial expressions when they are in pain. Sara Hintze of the University of Natural Resources says that positive emotions are harder to read, but researchers are beginning to explore the signs of positive emotions and there’s still a lot to learn. ④Researchers have had more success with vocalizations. In a study from 2022, one scientist, Elodie Briefer, and her team made a computer program to tell whether pigs’ noises are negative or positive. They used more than 7000 recordings from different situations. In situations thought to be positive, such as when pigs were running free, eating, or expecting a reward, they usually made sounds like grunts and barks. In negative situations, such as when they were fighting or being handled by humans, their grunts and barks were longer and deeper, or they made loud squeals and screams. ⑤These new findings help start campaigns (运动) to move from just stopping animals suffering (受罪), to doing everything we can to make sure they live happy lives. This is especially true for animals living on farms or in zoos. Briefer says that people will soon realize that understanding animals’ feelings is an important part of caring for them, maybe even as important as their health. 24. What can we learn from the passage? A. Animals have the same emotions as humans do. B. Animals make facial expressions to show happiness. C. We’ve done well in caring for animals’ mental health. D. We’re still on the way to read animals’ positive emotions. 25. The underlined word “vocalizations” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”. A. actions B. sounds C. emotions D. looks 26. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Make Full Use of Animals’ Intelligence B. Keep an Eye on Taking Care of Animals C. Take a Close Look at Animals’ Emotions D. Find a Way to Record Animals’ Emotions 27. What is the structure (结构) of this article? A. B. C. D. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了为了更好地了解动物，科学家们开始观察动物的脸，近距离观察动物的情绪。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Sara Hintze of the University of Natural Resources says that positive emotions are harder to read, but researchers are beginning to explore the signs of positive emotions and there’s still a lot to learn.”可知，我们仍然在解读动物积极情绪的道路上。故选D。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“They used more than 7000 recordings from different situations”和“they usually made sounds like grunts and barks”可知，此处是在介绍猪的声音，所以vocalizations和sounds意思相近，故选B。 【26题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“We can observe animals and guess how they feel or look at their hormones (激素) and see if they’re stressed, but we can’t really know how they feel inside—we’re just making our best guesses.”和“To better understand animals, scientists started looking at animals’ faces.”可知，本文主要介绍了为了更好地了解动物，科学家们开始观察动物的脸，近距离观察动物的情绪，所以C选项最符合，故选C。 【27题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段由一句话引出文章主旨：动物比我们想象的更聪明，它们确实有情绪；第二段介绍了两位科学家对动物的看法；第三段和第四段具体介绍了研究人员的研究和发现；第五段是在总结文章。所以结构如D选项所示，故选D。 C In ancient China, there were “four treasures of the study”—the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台). Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved. The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao. In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang, got to know Shanxi Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills. It was easier said than done. It took the father and the son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones. But the father and son did not stop here. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence of the Chengni inkstone. 28. What do we know about the Chengni inkstone? A. It has quite a long history. B. It was popular only in Shanxi Province. C. It became famous in the late Qing Dynasty. D. It first appeared during the Eastern Han Dynasty. 29. When did Lin Yongmao and LinTao win a gold prize? A. In 1984. B. In 1986. C. In 1991. D. In 1994. 30. What’s the purpose (目的) of Paragraph 4? A. To tell readers how to produce the Chengni inkstone. B. To explain how hard it was to revive the Chengni inkstone. C. To encourage readers to learn about China’s famous inkstones. D. To help readers understand the importance of the Chengni inkstone. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Inkstones in ancient China B. Best inkstone makers in China C. Bringing ancient skills back to life D. Introducing inkstones to the world 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍蔺永茂父子是如何经历千辛万苦才恢复制作澄泥砚这项古老技艺，并将这一技艺传播的。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty”可知，泥砚最早出现在西汉时期，即它有悠久的历史。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones.”可知，1991年他们成功制作了两块澄泥砚台。三年后，他们的澄泥砚台在中国著名砚台博览会上获得金奖，也就是1994年。故选D。 【30题详解】 段落大意题。根据“It was easier said than done. It took the father and the son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. ”可知，父子俩花了两年时间才找到合适的材料来制作澄泥砚，这才仅是第一步；由此判断澄泥砚做起来比想象中难很多。故选B。 【31题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍蔺永茂父子是如何经历千辛万苦才恢复制作澄泥砚这项古老技艺，并将这一技艺传播的；C选项“让古老的技艺复活”符合文意。故选C。 D Many people hold the belief that the personality you have by your 20s will stay the same and remain unchanged for the rest of your life. However, research shows that with intention and effort, you can develop new traits (特点) and improve yourself throughout your lifetime. According to Mohsen Joshanloo from Keimyung University, “Personality theories have emphasized the importance of the changing nature of personality traits.” This suggests that your personality is not fixed and can evolve. Joshanloo further argues that a key factor in this slow process is having a sense of purpose. The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) led by Joshanloo, collected data from more than11,000 adults over four periods (时期) between 2010 and 2022. Participants filled out a 31-question survey about their personality traits, assessing traits such as openness and agreeableness. They also finished a 7-item questionnaire about feeling a sense of purpose, with questions like “I enjoy making plans for the future.” The results showed that people who felt more purposeful became more open to new things and less worried over time. So how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life? Joshanloo suggests understanding and practicing the theory of “Purpose As Trait, Habit, and State” (PATHS). At the trait level, a sense of purpose can be viewed as an overall life goal. At the habit level, it involves engaging in daily, purposeful behaviors. And at the state level, it describes the moment-to-moment feeling that one’s actions are meaningful. Therefore, start with small actions. To practice this “bottom-up” approach, you can start by adding small, meaningful activities into your daily routine. Instead of stressing big life goals, try engaging in enjoyable activities, like taking up a new hobby whether it’s drawing, cooking, or something else. These small, meaningful actions can gradually build a stronger sense of purpose. In summary, shaping your personality may be not that difficult. By making easy changes in your daily life and developing a sense of purpose, you can take meaningful steps toward personal growth. 32. What does the word “evolve” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. change at once B. develop over time C. get worse easily D. stay the same 33. According to Joshanloo, people can probably build a stronger sense of purpose by ________. A. drawing mind maps about life B. beginning with simple actions C. doing as many tasks as possible D. looking back on childhood successes 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. We can develop new traits without any efforts or intentions. B. A higher sense of purpose can encourage us to realize dreams. C. Key factors in personal growth are openness and agreeableness. D. The theory of PATHS helps us build a stronger sense of purpose. 35. Which could be the best title for this passage? A. Simple Steps to Build a Meaningful Life B. Influence of Personality Traits on Growth C. The Power of Purpose in Shaping Personality D. The Roles of Habits in Changing Our Actions 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述了“人格特质不是一成不变”的观点，以及在日常生活中如何培养更高的目标感。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Personality theories have emphasized the importance of the changing nature of personality traits.”和“your personality is not fixed and can evolve”可知，人格理论强调了人格特质是不断变化的，所以你的人格并不是固定的，是可以慢慢改变的，B选项“随着时间的推移而发展”符合词义。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life?”和“Therefore, start with small actions.”可知，生活中要培养更强的目标感应该从小事做起。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life?

For thousands of years, Chinese people have created beautiful artworks to celebrate life, festivals, and hopes. Let’s explore some amazing forms of these traditions! 1. Paper Cutting: Windows Full of Wishes Using simple tools like scissors and red paper, artists cut out delicate patterns. You might see blooming flowers, jumping fish, or the Chinese character Fu for good luck. During the Spring Festival, families stick paper cuttings on windows to welcome happiness. In rural villages, grandmothers still teach children this skill. 2. Clay Art: Stories Shaped by Hands In Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province, artists mix clay with water and shape it into tigers, rabbits, or even heroes from Chinese stories. After drying, they paint the figures with bright colors like red, green, and gold. These clay toys are not just for play—people believe they can drive away bad luck. 3. Shadow Puppets: Dancing Silhouettes Over 2,000 years ago, shadow puppetry began. Performers use leather puppets painted in bold colors. Behind a white cloth screen, they move the puppets’ arms and legs with sticks. At the same time, they sing old tales about kings, warriors, and dragons. Long before TV existed, this was “ancient Chinese cinema”! 4. Chinese Knots: Threads of Blessings A single red silk thread can become a lucky knot! These knots have no beginning or end, symbolizing endless love and family unity. People hang them on doors during weddings or give them to friends as New Year gifts. Some complex knots even look like butterflies or flowers. 5. New Year Paintings: Colors of Joy Before the Lunar New Year, families buy nianhua—bright paintings of plump babies, gods, or mountains. Artists print these paintings on woodblocks, then add colors by hand. People put them on walls to wish for health and a rich harvest. Why Keep Folk Art Alive? Today, museums and schools work together to protect these arts. Young artists mix traditional skills with modern designs. For example, some use paper cuttings to make birthday cards, while others create emoji-style clay figures. As the saying goes, “A country without old traditions is like a tree without roots.” 56.
