There was nothing I could do to cheer him up. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks all on his own. He seemed to be all alone in his own world, so far away. Try as I did, I could not reach him. Then one day, I was in the kitchen here, when I saw Bertie hurrying down the hill, waving his stick and shouting for me. “I’ve got an idea,” he cried, as he came in, “I finally thought of it.” He showed me the end of his stick. It was white. “See this, Millie? It’s white chalk (白垩)!” “So?” I said. “You know the famous White Horse on the hill at Uffington, the one they carved out (雕刻) of the chalk a thousand years ago? It seems that the horse never dies. Well, that’s what we’re going to do, so he will never be forgotten! We’ll carve him out on the hill—he’ll be there forever.” “It’ll take a long time, won’t it?” I said. “We’ve got plenty, haven’t we?” he replied, with the same smile he had when he was a ten-year-old boy. It took us twenty years to do it. Every spare moment we had, we were on the hill, digging with shovels and using buckets to carry away the dirt. It was hard, back-breaking work, but it was a labour of love. We made the paws, tail, body, and mane until he was perfect in every detail. It was just after we’d finished that the butterflies first came. In summer, when the sun comes out after the rain, these butterflies would drink on the chalk face. Then the “White Lion” becomes a butterfly lion, and it comes back to life again. So now you know how Bertie’s white lion became our special butterfly lion. (Adapted from The Butterfly Lion) 11. What did the writer mean by saying “I could not reach him” in paragraph 1? A. The writer was physically far away from Bertie. B. The writer could not understand Bertie’s language. C. The writer was unable to get Bertie out of his sadness. D. The writer did not know where Bertie was staying. 12. The underlined word “he” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. Bertie B. the butterfly C. the White Horse D. the lion 13. Why was Bertie excited about the White Horse on the hill at Uffington? A. It was very beautiful and he admired it. B. It was a symbol of something that could live on forever. C. It was made of the same white chalk as on his stick. D. He had visited it before and had good memories there. 14 What does the scene with butterflies landing on the White Lion symbolize (象征)? A. The lion becomes colorful. B. Nature changes the lion. C. The lion turns into a real one. D. The lion seems to come alive. 15. The main idea of the passage is about ________. A. how to turn a lion into butterflies B. the friendship between Bertie and Millie C. how Bertie and Millie remembered the dead lion D. the story of the famous White Horse B ①In the recently concluded Qingming Festival holiday, an exciting innovation appeared in China’s tourism industry. Robotic exoskeletons (机械外骨骼), similar to special robot outfits, stepped in as great helpers for tourists, highlighting the country’s move towards “smarter” tourism. ②At Taishan Mountain in Shandong, some visitors didn’t want to walk all the way to the top. Standing over 1,500 meters high with over 7,000 steps, Taishan is a difficult climb. So, they waited in long lines to rent “robotic exoskeletons”. These robots were so popular that many people waited two hours to get one. ③Using the robot costs money. You can pay by the hour or by the route. Usually, it’s 80 yuan for three hours. Mr. Li said with the robot, it takes half the time to climb a steep (陡峭的) part of the mountain. Yan Lidong, a 26-year-old from Beijing, tried it and said, “I don’t want my legs to be too tired. My friend tried to climb Taishan in October but couldn’t finish. He rested in bed for two days with shaking legs.” ④Taishan isn’t the only place with these high-tech helpers. Huangshan Mountain in Anhui will let visitors use smart knee straps and walking sticks later this month. They have been testing these since February. Indeed, the robots reduced the physical burden of climbing a lot. The travel website Tuniu said AI products and new tourism services can attract young people. ⑤The recent Qingming Festival holiday showed China’s progress in modernizing tourism. Years ago, smart tourism mainly meant reliable phone and Wi-Fi signals at tourist sites. Now, it’s about AI-powered smart devices. With these tools, travelling will definitely become more convenient and enjoyable. 16. Why did visitors at Taishan Mountain wait in long lines? A. To buy tickets. B. To rent robotic legs. C. To take photos. D. To watch shows. 17. From Yan Lidong’s words what does the author mainly want to show? A. Climbing Taishan is really dangerous. B. His friend doesn’t exercise enough. C. People always use robotic exoskeletons. D. Robotic legs make hard climbing easier. 18. What is the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 19. According to the passage, what might smart tourism in China be like in the future? A. There will be more AI products for a better travel experience. B. There will be fewer new technologies used in it. C. It will mainly focus on mountain-climbing robots. D. The cost of using smart devices in tourism will become higher. 20. Where is the passage probably from? A. A sport website. B. A dictionary. C. A technology magazine. D. A book review. C Do you often find it really difficult to get yourself out of bed and ready for school on Monday morning? This year’s World Sleep Day on March 21st has brought our attention to the common issue of teenagers suffering from not enough sleep. Quality sleep matters to everyone, yet it’s more important for teenagers. According to the US National Institute of Health, teenagers require a daily sleep of 9 to 10 hours, which is longer than that needed by adults. The reason behind this is that adolescence (青春期) is a key period for their development. For students, getting enough sleep can significantly improve their academic performance. As Harvard Health has pointed out, it can improve students’ concentration levels, strengthen their memory, and help with their thinking abilities. When students are well-rested, they are better able to focus on their studies and absorb new knowledge. Sleep also plays an important role in developing creativity. In the late 20th century, scientists from Loughborough University in the UK carried out research on this aspect. They compared creative test scores between those who had poor sleep quality and those who slept well. The results showed that the sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的) group scored lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They were more likely to repeat the same mistakes and had difficulties in coming up with new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a research team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States made an interesting discovery. They found that the sleep onset, a special stage at the beginning of sleep, is particularly helpful to creativity. When people were asked to think about a certain topic during this stage, and then given creative tasks about that topic after waking up, they had a better performance in those tasks. 21. Why is quality sleep more important for teenagers than for adults according to Paragraph 2? A. Because of teenagers’ higher activity level. B. Because adolescence is a key period for development. C. Because of teenagers’ pressure from homework. D. Because of adults’ low sleep requirement. 22. What does the underlined word “academic” mean in this passage? A. Educational. B. Physical. C. Social. D. Artistic. 23. Why does the author mention the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking in Paragraph 4? A. To prove that creativity has nothing to do with sleep quality. B. To compare different tests for scoring people’s creativity. C. To argue that adults need longer sleep than teenagers. D. To show that sleep-deprived people perform poorly on creative tasks. 24. What can we infer from the MIT study mentioned in the passage? A. Dreaming during deep sleep is best for creativity. B. Creativity is not related to sleep time and quality. C. The sleep onset stage is important for creative thinking. D. People who sleep less are more likely to have original ideas. 25. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The Importance of Quality Sleep for Teenagers. B. Why Teenagers Need More Sleep Than Adults. C. How Sleep Affects Creativity Development. D. The History and Development of World Sleep Day. 第二节 短文填空(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面的短文，并从下列六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Giving a presentation can be challenging.

There was nothing I could do to cheer him up. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks all on his own. He seemed to be all alone in his own world, so far away. Try as I did, I could not reach him. Then one day, I was in the kitchen here, when I saw Bertie hurrying down the hill, waving his stick and shouting for me. “I’ve got an idea,” he cried, as he came in, “I finally thought of it.” He showed me the end of his stick.

It seems that the horse never dies. Well, that’s what we’re going to do, so he will never be forgotten!

Try as I did, I could not reach him”可知，Bertie似乎独自一人在自己的世界里，那么遥远，尽管作者努力了，还是无法触及他。由此可知，Bertie独自一人沉浸在悲伤中，作者无法让他走出悲伤。故选C。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“You know the famous White Horse on the hill at Uffington, the one they carved out (雕刻) of the chalk a thousand years ago? It seems that the horse never dies. Well, that’s what we’re going to do, so he will never be forgotten!”可知，一千年前人们用白垩雕刻出来的马似乎是不死的，所以Bertie也要这样做，要雕刻狮子，这样狮子就永远不会被遗忘。he指的是前文提及的“狮子”。故选D。 13题详解】 推理判断题。 根据“You know the famous White Horse on the hill at Uffington... It seems that the horse never dies. Well, that’s what we’re going to do, so he will never be forgotten!”可知，Bertie受白马雕像“永恒存在”的启发，想通过雕刻让狮子永远被铭记。由此可知，乌芬顿山上的白马象征着某种东西可以永远存在。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“the ‘White Lion’ becomes a butterfly lion, and it comes back to life again”可知，蝴蝶停留在雕像上时，狮子仿佛“复活”了。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕Bertie和Millie如何通过雕刻白垩狮子纪念逝去的狮子展开，最终蝴蝶的降临赋予雕像生命意义。故选C。 B ①In the recently concluded Qingming Festival holiday, an exciting innovation appeared in China’s tourism industry.

This year’s World Sleep Day on March 21st has brought our attention to the common issue of teenagers suffering from not enough sleep. Quality sleep matters to everyone, yet it’s more important for teenagers. According to the US National Institute of Health, teenagers require a daily sleep of 9 to 10 hours, which is longer than that needed by adults. The reason behind this is that adolescence (青春期) is a key period for their development. For students, getting enough sleep can significantly improve their academic performance. As Harvard Health has pointed out, it can improve students’ concentration levels, strengthen their memory, and help with their thinking abilities. When students are well-rested, they are better able to focus on their studies and absorb new knowledge. Sleep also plays an important role in developing creativity. In the late 20th century, scientists from Loughborough University in the UK carried out research on this aspect. They compared creative test scores between those who had poor sleep quality and those who slept well. The results showed that the sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的) group scored lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They were more likely to repeat the same mistakes and had difficulties in coming up with new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a research team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States made an interesting discovery. They found that the sleep onset, a special stage at the beginning of sleep, is particularly helpful to creativity. When people were asked to think about a certain topic during this stage, and then given creative tasks about that topic after waking up, they had a better performance in those tasks. 21. Why is quality sleep more important for teenagers than for adults according to Paragraph 2? A. Because of teenagers’ higher activity level. B. Because adolescence is a key period for development. C. Because of teenagers’ pressure from homework. D. Because of adults’ low sleep requirement. 22. What does the underlined word “academic” mean in this passage? A. Educational. B. Physical. C. Social. D. Artistic. 23. Why does the author mention the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking in Paragraph 4? A. To prove that creativity has nothing to do with sleep quality. B. To compare different tests for scoring people’s creativity. C. To argue that adults need longer sleep than teenagers. D. To show that sleep-deprived people perform poorly on creative tasks. 24. What can we infer from the MIT study mentioned in the passage? A. Dreaming during deep sleep is best for creativity. B. Creativity is not related to sleep time and quality. C. The sleep onset stage is important for creative thinking. D. People who sleep less are more likely to have original ideas. 25. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The Importance of Quality Sleep for Teenagers. B. Why Teenagers Need More Sleep Than Adults. C. How Sleep Affects Creativity Development. D. The History and Development of World Sleep Day. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 24. C 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了青少年优质睡眠的重要性。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The reason behind this is that adolescence (青春期) is a key period for their development.”可知，优质睡眠对青少年更重要是因为青春期是发育的关键时期。故选B。 【22题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“it can improve students’ concentration levels, strengthen their memory, and help with their thinking abilities”可知有足够的睡眠可以提高学生的注意力水平，增强他们的记忆力，帮助他们提高思维能力，即提高他们的学业表现，故此处academic意为“学业的，教育的”。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The results showed that the sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的) group scored lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They were more likely to repeat the same mistakes and had difficulties in coming up with new ideas.”可知结果显示，睡眠不足组在托兰斯创造性思维测试中得分较低，他们更有可能重复同样的错误，很难想出新的想法，所以作者引用该测试是为了说明缺乏睡眠者在创造性任务上表现差。故选D。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“They found that the sleep onset, a special stage at the beginning of sleep, is particularly helpful to creativity.”可知入睡初期阶段对创造性思维很重要。故选C。 【25题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了青少年优质睡眠的重要性，以选项A“优质睡眠对青少年的重要性”为标题最合适。故选A。 第二节 短文填空(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面的短文，并从下列六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Giving a presentation can be challenging.
