Kris Bowers, a musician and award-winning film composer, grew up playing the piano through Los Angeles Unified’s music program. But it was only a few years ago that he learned about the people who cared for the instruments that brought him — and so many other students — joy and emotional support over the years.
The documentary The Last Repair Shop, co-directed by Bowers, puts the spotlight on those technicians who regularly repair more than 130,000 student instruments for free — work that has been taking place in a downtown L.A. storehouse since 1959.
For Bowers, making the film was a full circle moment. He learned about the work of Steve Bagmanyan, a technician who tuned the pianos in Bowers’s primary and middle schools. “I was able to thank someone who had a hand in my progress as a musician,” Bowers says.
Besides Bagmanyan, who is one of four workers, each personal story intersects (交织) with a piece of L.A. and maybe even United States history. Dana Atkinson, who works in the strings division, shares his story. Paty Moreno, the only woman technician in the shop, talks about her journey moving to the U.S. from Mexico and raising her children here — her job in the repair shop helped her maintain some stability, she says. Duane Michaels fixes the woodwind instruments and talks about his time on tour with the great rock singer Elvis in the past.
Directing the documentary gave Bowers a chance to mix his love for music and his city. “Having that deep love for this city and discovering this music repair shop and this program make me extremely proud of the city,” Bowers says.
The film has already brought attention to the repair shop. There is now a $15 million fundraising effort set up by the Education Foundation to help keep the program running and invest in future instrument technicians.
4. What does The Last Repair Shop focus on?
A The development of a repair shop.
B. The stories of instrument technicians.
C. Bowers’s journey to become a musician.
D. Bowers’s struggle to support piano players.
5. Why was Steve Bagmanyan included in the film?
A. He instructed Bowers to be a composer.
B. He played a role in Bowers’s musical career.
C. He was a professional instrument repairman.
D He had an influence on Bowers academically.
6. What does Bowers think of the experience of directing the documentary?
A. Demanding. B. Challenging. C. Promising. D. Rewarding.
7. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To honor a famous director. B. To advertise a repair shop.
C. To introduce a documentary. D. To share a music program.

After nearly six months of rescue and professional care at the Sanya Haichang Animal Conservation Center in Hainan Province, the aground short-finned (鳍) pilot whale named “Haitang” has recovered and returned to the sea on Sunday morning.
Short-finned pilot whales are national second-class protected wild animals. On Jan. 3, the short-finned pilot whale “Haitang” was found aground in Haitang Bay, Sanya city, with obvious injuries in many parts of its body.
Under the watchful eyes of volunteers and experts, Haitang can now eat 12 kilograms of squid (鱿鱼) a day, served in four meals throughout the day, according to Cao Zheng, head of the conservation center. Its body length has grown from 3.6 meters to 3.7 meters, and its upper body circumference (圆周) has grown from 1.9 meters to 2 meters.
“Squid is the main food of short-finned pilot whales. With the waters near Sanya teeming with a richness of squid, the intelligent whales have developed a skill for hunting so many slow-moving fish and enjoying a great meal,” said Cao. “Haitang has mastered the art of catching squid in the wild. Although it may need some time to readjust to the freedom of the open sea after being released, we’ll monitor its movements through a specialized device,” Cao added.
The release team has discussed and mapped out every aspect of the release process, from transportation process to the exact location of entry into the sea, as the whale now weighs around 500kg.
Haitang’s journey started as they went aboard the research ship on Saturday, a journey of more than 10 hours at sea. The team decided to release Haitang in a 500-meter-deep area, known for the activity of short-finned pilot whales. By choosing a location with a history of whale presence, the team aims to provide Haitang with the best possible chance of joining a population and establishing new connections within its natural habitat, said Cao.
8. Why are the figures mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To show Haitang’s recovery. B. To prove experts’ hard work.
C. To highlight Haitang’s huge size. D. To record Haitang’s characteristics.
9. What does the underlined phrase “teeming with” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Rising over. B. Blocked by. C. Filled with. D. Running past.
10. What can be known about the releasing spot?
A. It’s the deepest part of the sea.
B. It’s where Haitang was spotted.
C. Haitang can find companions easily there.
D. Haitang is a symbol of natural history there.
11. In which section of a website is the text likely to appear?
A. Medicine. B. Environment. C. Travel. D. Business.
D
Recent research has found that Martian (火星的) soil contains all the elements necessary for growing rice, scientist Abhilash Ramachandran of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet.
The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, tested simulated (模拟的) Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. The researchers found that the soil contained all the necessary elements needed for the crop to grow.
However, it would be a bit challenging for the plants to survive in the soil that has perchlorate, a chemical that has been discovered on Mars’s surface and can be poisonous to plants.
The team grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant primarily made of Mojave Desert basalt (玄武岩). However, the new-grown plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix. Even replacing just 25 percent of the simulant with a potting mix made a big difference, the team found.
The team of researchers then conducted an experiment to grow rice in soil containing perchlorate. They used a wild rice variety and two genetically (基因地) edited varieties, which were designed to stand up to environmental stressors such as drought, and tested them in Mars-simulated soil with and without perchlorate.
The study found that a concentration of three grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to one gram per kilogram, one of the genetically edited lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root.
“We want to send humans to Mars but we cannot take everything there. It’s going to be expensive,” said Ramachandran. The discovery could be a game-changer for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and difficult resupply missions.
12. How did the researchers conduct their study?
A. By conducting a survey. B. By making a case study.
C. By carrying out experiments. D. By referring to former studies.
13. The gene-edited rice variety grows better in one kilogram of soil containing ________.
A. one gram of perchlorate B. two grams of perchlorate
C. three grams of perchlorate D. four grams of perchlorate
14. What is the benefit of the discovery?
A Supporting the growing population on Earth.
B. Helping astronauts feed themselves on Mars.
C. Enabling people to eat new varieties of rice.
D. Finding an approach to making a good fortune.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. How did Martian Soil Change Over Time?
B. What can Mars Provide for People on Earth?
C. People Are Likely to Live on Mars in the Near Future
D. Martian Soil may Have All the Necessary Elements Rice Needs

Pulling an all-nighter might seem like a quick fix when you’re preparing for an exam or trying to meet a deadline. ____16____
Lack of sleep significantly affects cognitive (认知的) functions. It can reduce your ability to concentrate, damage cognitive thinking, and affect decision-making abilities. ____17____ Skipping it reduces your brain’s ability to process and remember information, making it harder to recall what you’ve studied. Lack of sleep can also do harm to your mental health. It increases emotional swings and stress levels. Individuals lacking sleep are more likely to experience anxiety and depression.
Here are some strategies to prepare for exams without all-nighters. Effective study planning is important. Break down your study material into manageable sections and spread it over several days or weeks. Active learning techniques can also make a significant difference. Use flashcards and past exams to test your knowledge. Practicing testing is one of the most effective study techniques. Maintaining healthy study habits is also necessary. ____18____ 20 minutes of focused study followed by a 5-minute break can be particularly effective. Eat balanced meals to maintain energy levels.

Kris Bowers, a musician and award-winning film composer, grew up playing the piano through Los Angeles Unified’s music program. But it was only a few years ago that he learned about the people who cared for the instruments that brought him — and so many other students — joy and emotional support over the years.
The documentary The Last Repair Shop, co-directed by Bowers, puts the spotlight on those technicians who regularly repair more than 130,000 student instruments for free — work that has been taking place in a downtown L.A. storehouse since 1959.
For Bowers, making the film was a full circle moment. He learned about the work of Steve Bagmanyan, a technician who tuned the pianos in Bowers’s primary and middle schools. “I was able to thank someone who had a hand in my progress as a musician,” Bowers says.
Besides Bagmanyan, who is one of four workers, each personal story intersects (交织) with a piece of L.A. and maybe even United States history. Dana Atkinson, who works in the strings division, shares his story. Paty Moreno, the only woman technician in the shop, talks about her journey moving to the U.S. from Mexico and raising her children here — her job in the repair shop helped her maintain some stability, she says. Duane Michaels fixes the woodwind instruments and talks about his time on tour with the great rock singer Elvis in the past.
Directing the documentary gave Bowers a chance to mix his love for music and his city. “Having that deep love for this city and discovering this music repair shop and this program make me extremely proud of the city,” Bowers says.
The film has already brought attention to the repair shop. There is now a $15 million fundraising effort set up by the Education Foundation to help keep the program running and invest in future instrument technicians.
4. What does The Last Repair Shop focus on?
A. The development of a repair shop.
B. The stories of instrument technicians.
C. Bowers’s journey to become a musician.
D. Bowers’s struggle to support piano players.
5. Why was Steve Bagmanyan included in the film?
A. He instructed Bowers to be a composer.
B. He played a role in Bowers’s musical career.
C. He was a professional instrument repairman.
D. He had an influence on Bowers academically.
6. What does Bowers think of the experience of directing the documentary?
A. Demanding. B. Challenging. C. Promising. D. Rewarding.
7. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To honor a famous director. B. To advertise a repair shop.

After nearly six months of rescue and professional care at the Sanya Haichang Animal Conservation Center in Hainan Province, the aground short-finned (鳍) pilot whale named “Haitang” has recovered and returned to the sea on Sunday morning.
Short-finned pilot whales are national second-class protected wild animals. On Jan. 3, the short-finned pilot whale “Haitang” was found aground in Haitang Bay, Sanya city, with obvious injuries in many parts of its body.
Under the watchful eyes of volunteers and experts, Haitang can now eat 12 kilograms of squid (鱿鱼) a day, served in four meals throughout the day, according to Cao Zheng, head of the conservation center. Its body length has grown from 3.6 meters to 3.7 meters, and its upper body circumference (圆周) has grown from 1.9 meters to 2 meters.
“Squid is the main food of short-finned pilot whales. With the waters near Sanya teeming with a richness of squid, the intelligent whales have developed a skill for hunting so many slow-moving fish and enjoying a great meal,” said Cao. “Haitang has mastered the art of catching squid in the wild. Although it may need some time to readjust to the freedom of the open sea after being released, we’ll monitor its movements through a specialized device,” Cao added.
The release team has discussed and mapped out every aspect of the release process, from transportation process to the exact location of entry into the sea, as the whale now weighs around 500kg.
Haitang’s journey started as they went aboard the research ship on Saturday, a journey of more than 10 hours at sea. The team decided to release Haitang in a 500-meter-deep area, known for the activity of short-finned pilot whales. By choosing a location with a history of whale presence, the team aims to provide Haitang with the best possible chance of joining a population and establishing new connections within its natural habitat, said Cao.
8. Why are the figures mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To show Haitang’s recovery. B. To prove experts’ hard work.
C. To highlight Haitang’s huge size. D. To record Haitang’s characteristics.
9. What does the underlined phrase “teeming with” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Rising over. B. Blocked by. C. Filled with. D. Running past.
10. What can be known about the releasing spot?
A. It’s the deepest part of the sea.
B. It’s where Haitang was spotted.
C. Haitang can find companions easily there.
D. Haitang is a symbol of natural history there.
11. In which section of a website is the text likely to appear?
A. Medicine. B. Environment. C. Travel. D. Business.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B

Recent research has found that Martian (火星的) soil contains all the elements necessary for growing rice, scientist Abhilash Ramachandran of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet.
The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, tested simulated (模拟的) Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. The researchers found that the soil contained all the necessary elements needed for the crop to grow.
However, it would be a bit challenging for the plants to survive in the soil that has perchlorate, a chemical that has been discovered on Mars’s surface and can be poisonous to plants.
The team grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant primarily made of Mojave Desert basalt (玄武岩). However, the new-grown plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix. Even replacing just 25 percent of the simulant with a potting mix made a big difference, the team found.
The team of researchers then conducted an experiment to grow rice in soil containing perchlorate. They used a wild rice variety and two genetically (基因地) edited varieties, which were designed to stand up to environmental stressors such as drought, and tested them in Mars-simulated soil with and without perchlorate.
The study found that a concentration of three grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to one gram per kilogram, one of the genetically edited lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root.
“We want to send humans to Mars but we cannot take everything there. It’s going to be expensive,” said Ramachandran. The discovery could be a game-changer for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and difficult resupply missions.
12. How did the researchers conduct their study?
A. By conducting a survey. B. By making a case study.
C. By carrying out experiments. D. By referring to former studies.
13. The gene-edited rice variety grows better in one kilogram of soil containing ________.
A. one gram of perchlorate B. two grams of perchlorate
C. three grams of perchlorate D. four grams of perchlorate
14. What is the benefit of the discovery?
A. Supporting the growing population on Earth.
B. Helping astronauts feed themselves on Mars.
C. Enabling people to eat new varieties of rice.
D. Finding an approach to making a good fortune.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. How did Martian Soil Change Over Time?
B. What can Mars Provide for People on Earth?
C. People Are Likely to Live on Mars in the Near Future
D Martian Soil may Have All the Necessary Elements Rice Needs
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D

细节理解题。根据第二段的“The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, tested simulated (模拟的)Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. (这项研究由费耶特维尔阿肯色大学的一个研究小组进行,他们测试了模拟的火星土壤,以确定其是否适合种植水稻。)”可知,研究人员是通过做实验进行研究的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“The study found that a concentration of three grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to one gram per kilogram, one of the genetically edited lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root. (研究表明,每公斤土壤中含有3克高氯酸盐的浓度导致水稻无法生长。然而,当浓度降低到每公斤1克时,其中一个基因编辑的品系成功地长出了芽和根,而野生品种只能长出根。)”可知,在含有1克高氯酸盐的1公斤土壤中生长的基因编辑过的品种长的更好。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The discovery could be a game-changer for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and difficult resupply missions. (这一发现可能会改变未来的火星任务,因为它可以使宇航员在火星上种植自己的食物,减少昂贵而困难的补给任务的需要。)”可知,这一发现的好处是帮助宇航员在火星上养活自己。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Recent research has found that Martian (火星的)soil contains all the elements necessary for growing rice, scientist Abhilash Ramachandran of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet. (费耶特维尔阿肯色大学的行星科学家Abhilash Ramachandran在月球和行星科学会议上报告说,最近的研究发现,火星土壤含有种植水稻所需的所有元素,这为这颗红色星球上的农业提供了新的可能性。)”可知,本文主要讲的是火星土壤可能含有水稻种植所需的所有必要元素。由此可知,D项“火星土壤可能含有水稻所需的所有必需元素”适合作本文的标题。故选D项。

Pulling an all-nighter might seem like a quick fix when you’re preparing for an exam or trying to meet a deadline. ____16____
Lack of sleep significantly affects cognitive (认知的) functions. It can reduce your ability to concentrate, damage cognitive thinking, and affect decision-making abilities. ____17____ Skipping it reduces your brain’s ability to process and remember information, making it harder to recall what you’ve studied. Lack of sleep can also do harm to your mental health. It increases emotional swings and stress levels. Individuals lacking sleep are more likely to experience anxiety and depression.
Here are some strategies to prepare for exams without all-nighters. Effective study planning is important. Break down your study material into manageable sections and spread it over several days or weeks. Active learning techniques can also make a significant difference.

Maintaining healthy study habits is also necessary. ____18____ 20 minutes of focused study followed by a 5-minute break can be particularly effective. Eat balanced meals to maintain energy levels.
____19____ Aim for 7 — 9 hours of sleep each night. A proper sleep schedule helps regulate your body’s internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up. Limit caffeine intake and screen time before bed.
In brief, while pulling an all-nighter might seem like a tempting solution, the negative impacts far outweigh any short-term benefits. ____20____ It’s important to develop good sleep habits. Remember, a well-rested mind is far more capable of absorbing and memorizing information, leading to better academic performance and overall well-being.
A. Engage in regular physical exercise.
B. Good sleep habits shouldn’t be overlooked.
C. These techniques can help calm your mind.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述考前“开夜车”的坏处及正确的备考方法。
【16题详解】
分析可知,设空句为该段末尾句,应是一个过渡句,可以引出后文“Lack of sleep significantly affects cognitive functions.(睡眠不足会严重影响认知功能。)”等“开夜车”的负面结果。选项E“But the results can be harmful to your mental and physical health.(但这些结果可能会对你的身心健康造成损害。)”在句意上符合分析,同时与前文“Pulling an all-nighter might seem like a quick fix when you’re preparing for an exam or trying to meet a deadline.(在备考或赶截止日期的时候,熬个通宵似乎是一种快速解决问题的办法。)”构成转折关系,前后衔接紧密。故选E项。
【17题详解】
分析可知,后文“Skipping it reduces your brain’s ability to process and remember information, making it harder to recall what you’ve studied.(跳过它会降低你的大脑处理和记忆信息的能力,使你更难回忆起你所学的东西。)”中“it”指代前文某一事物,且“跳过它”会带来坏处,由此推知,设空句应会具体提及“it”所指,且强调其重要性。选项F“Sleep is the single most effective thing to reset our brain each day.(睡眠是每天让我们的大脑恢复活力的最有效方式。)”中“睡眠”对应了“it”,使其有了具体所指,且强调了重要性,前后衔接紧密。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Maintaining healthy study habits is also necessary.(保持健康的学习习惯也是必要的。)”可知,设空句紧随其后,应具体阐述健康的学习习惯,选项D“Take short breaks every half hour to avoid burnout.(每半小时就休息一会儿,以避免过度劳累。)”是对前文的具体说明,且与后文“20 minutes of focused study followed by a 5-minute break can be particularly effective(20分钟的集中学习,然后休息5分钟,可能特别有效。)”具体休息时长示例衔接紧密。故选D项。
【19题详解】
设空句为该段首句,体现本段主旨。根据后文内容“Aim for 7 — 9 hours of sleep each night. A proper sleep schedule helps regulate your body’s internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up. Limit caffeine intake and screen time before bed.(目标是每晚睡7—9个小时。适当的睡眠时间表有助于调节身体的生物钟,使入睡和醒来更容易。限制咖啡因摄入和睡前屏幕时间。)”可知,本段给出了三个具体的好的关于睡眠的习惯,所以B项“Good sleep habits shouldn’t be overlooked.(良好的睡眠习惯不应该被忽略。)”符合该段主旨。故选B项。
【20题详解】
通过阅读该段内容可知,该段是对全文的总结和各段落内容的概括。第一句“In brief, while pulling an all-nighter might seem like a tempting solution, the negative impacts far outweigh any short-term benefits.(简而言之,虽然通宵熬夜似乎是一个诱人的解决方案,但负面影响远远超过任何短期利益。)”概括了第二段内容,设空后文“It’s important to develop good sleep habits.(养成良好的睡眠习惯很重要。)”则概括了第四段内容。由此推知,设空句应是对第三段内容的概括,所以G项“Adopting scientific strategies can help you prepare for exams more effectively.(采用科学的策略可以帮助你更有效地准备考试。)”符合题意。故选G项。

【36题详解】
考查现在分词作后置定语。句意:周三,一场以复旦大学Vermander教授的画作为主题的中国水墨画展在沪上的一所大学开幕,此次展览旨在促进中国与法国之间的文化交流。空处需填非谓语动词作定语,名词短语“A Chinese ink painting exhibition”和所填动词“feature”为主动关系,需用现在分词形式。故填featuring。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:今年是中法建交60周年。根据“the ________ of”结构可知,此处需要名词。“establish”,动词,意为“建立,成立”,其名词形式为“establishment (建立,确立)”。故填establishment。

考查过去分词作定语。句意:此次展览展出了这位法国教授在过去十年间创作的60多幅水墨画。空处需填非谓语动词作定语,名词短语“more than 60 ink paintings”和所填动词“create”为被动关系,需用过去分词形式。故填created。

【44题详解】
考查动词时态和被动。句意:1987年,Vermander首次来到中国,他被中国的书法所吸引。之后空格处为句子的谓语;根据in 1987可知,谓语动词用一般过去时态,且结合“by…”以及句意可知,句子用被动语态;主语Vermander为第三人称单数,应是“was done”。故填was attracted。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:1994 年之后,他转而从事中国画创作,并且此后一直坚持下来。所填动词“continue”与之前“changed”为并列谓语;根据该部分时间状语“ever since”可知,谓语动词为现在完成时态或现在完成进行时态。故填has continued/has been continuing。

Kelly worked in the IT industry. Her husband James was the general manager in his company. Their cute daughter Brenda was a quick learner. She was not only good in studies but also in dance. Dance was her passion. The couple tried their best to get Brenda the best training, even if it cost them a lot of money.
All was going great till the day when the new baby Ethan was born, who suffered from heart disease, which needed an operation at the age of 3 to recover. The couple were lost in sadness.
The room door opened and eight-year-old Brenda came running in, holding her favorite toy “Mom, my brother is the cutest baby on earth. I’ve got this for him.” Kelly hugged her daughter, feeling better.
Life became a struggle for the family. Ethan needed special attention. James devoted himself into work to support the family. Kelly couldn’t go back to work, which meant loss of income. They had to heavily cut down on daily expenses. Brenda’s dance classes had to be stopped. But Brenda accepted it and didn’t complain. Brenda even helped her mother to look after Ethan. All this while Brenda’s grades never fell.
Ethan gradually grew up. When people made fun of him, Brenda always protected him. She often invited her friends to her home and they would play with him. He was very happy. After an operation, Ethan gradually recovered.
When Ethan was 6 years old, he went to school. Since Ethan looked weak, he was not included in many activities.
Ethan loved dancing. Brenda taught him. He was able to do steps that other children couldn’t do. He was really talented.

【答案】
When Brenda learnt about this, she came up with an idea. She asked her mother to shoot the video of her and Ethan dancing. Kelly watched them with a mixed feeling. For a while, she felt guilty for her daughter. Brenda could have become a perfect dancer with financial support. She wished she could help Brenda pursue her dream. They were dancing fairly well. Then Brenda convinced her to upload the video on the Internet. Within an hour they had about fifty likes and views.
Brenda’s friends shared the video with their families. Within a day the video gained great popularity. The following day Kelly received a call from the school to arrange Ethan’s costume since he was now a participant in a dance. On the day of the event, Kelly and James were thrilled to see Ethan’s excellent performance. The entire hall roared with thunderous applause. The event was a game-changer for Ethan. Everyone around him regarded him with new eyes. Later Kelly started working again. And she was able to restart Brenda’s dance classes.
