W：Sounds scary.What happened next? M：I reached the boy but couldn’t get him down.We were both stuck. W：So what did you do? M：Well，I called for help.Pretty soon there was a small crowd on the beach but no one knew what to do.And then someone called the Coast Rescue Service. W：Wow! That was really adventurous. Text 10 M：Let me tell you about a trip that’s arranged for later this year.It’s to Cardiff，the capital of Wales，and it’s a very exciting city.This trip will be of particular interest to those of you who are studying history at school，though if there are any spare places，other people can go too.We’ll spend a full day in Cardiff.In the morning there’ll be a tour of Cardiff Castle, which includes part of a Roman wall that’s 2,000 years old.Then you’ll join in an activity that’ll teach you about medicine in the period when much of the castle was built，the Middle Ages.In the afternoon we’ll meet a member of Cardiff City Council.He’ll talk to us about various projects for protecting wildlife，and show us some of the improvements over the last few years.He spends a lot of his time talking to the public about what they can do to help.Now for some practical things.We’ll leave here on the twenty-second of June and get back to school on the twenty-fourth.We’ll travel by coach to Swindon，and take the train from there to Cardiff—the whole journey will take around two hours.And we’ll spend two nights in a hotel.The sports fans among you will be happy about that，as it’s close to Cardiff’s famous stadium. 第二部分　阅读(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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A A Tour Around Berlin What’s Included： •Free packed lunch •Comfortable air-conditioned cars •4-star hand-picked hotels，and also be open to your own choice •An English-speaking driver guide，experienced and knowledgeable Day 1: Berlin-Potsdam-Berlin Located 27 kilometers southwest of Berlin，Potsdam is an old city and famous for its wonderful gardens.You will also see the classic sights of Potsdam，such as Hollandisches Viertel and the Russian Colony Alexandrovka.You will tour it under the guidance of the guide.When today’s plan for our Berlin trip is over，we will return to the hotel in Berlin. Day 2: Berlin-Meissen Today，you will visit Meissen，located in the charming Elbe Valley.During the tour，you will learn about Meissen’s long history by touring the oldest Porcelain(瓷器) Manufactory in Europe，as well as the museum and production room inside.

However，stand-up paddleboarding had already caught my eye.During visits to Maine lakes，I had seen many people delightedly practicing it under a warm sun.It looked so easy and fun，as the only thing it needed was the ability to stand up，right? In a burst of optimism，I bought a paddleboard and，with my friend Mike，headed for a lake deep in the Maine woods，out of sight of potential critics.After setting the paddleboard on the water，athletic Mike generously offered to test it out.He jumped on it successfully on the first try.Then it was my turn.I began by kneeling(跪) upon the shaky paddleboard and after a while，slowly and carefully，I tried to stand but immediately fell into the water.I tried it again，but again I failed. The act of falling reminded me that learning was an energy-consuming effort.New physical skills might be more difficult to acquire later in life，but I believed that adults had an advantage over children.The effort，together with the built-in understanding that falling is part of the process，is accompanied by faith born of experience.After countless failures，I finally stood upright on the paddleboard and I had never been so happy about the simple act of standing up. Now，I’m one of those enjoying the fun of stand-up paddleboarding under a brilliant sky.Maybe someone on the shore will point at me and remark，“How does he do that？” I already have my response.Practice may not always make perfect，but it certainly makes possible. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己学习站立式划桨的过程告诉我们：熟不一定能生巧，但一定能使之成为可能。 24．What led the author to try stand-up paddleboarding?

Researchers have found music training plays a key role in the development of a foreign language in its grammar，colloquialisms(口语) and vocabulary.One recent study found that when children aged nine and under were taught music for just one hour a week，they exhibited a higher ability to learn both the grammar and the pronunciation of foreign languages，compared to their classmates who had learned a different extra-curricular(课外的) activity. In Finland，it is customary for children to receive musical training from an early age through a playful approach.However，their academic pursuits do not start until the age of seven，with language learning beginning at nine or beyond.Despite this “late start” in all areas except music proficiency，Finnish individuals typically become proficient in three to five foreign languages.Any English-speaking visitor to Finland will find that nearly every Finnish individual communicates in English without any difficulty. Take Ken String fellow，the American singer-songwriter，as an example of the effect of music on the ability to learn foreign languages.Many years ago，well into his thirties，he married a French woman and consequently picked up a whole new language from the beginning.People recording with him in Paris were often amazed at how he had learned it so well without any previous background，but the research explains it.As a musician who made music from childhood，he would have developed his brain’s ability for learning the grammar，semantics(语义) and pronunciation of any new language in adulthood. 28．What contributes to learning foreign languages according to the author? A．Self-teaching. B．Home-schooling. C．Knowing the culture. D．Learning music. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“Rather than directly teaching these languages，an effective approach to ensure your child’s acquisition of all these languages is through music.”可知，作者认为学习音乐对学习外语有帮助。故选D。 29．What is the current research about? A．Children’s common difficulties in foreign language learning. B．Children’s best age for starting music training. C．Children’s music training and foreign language learning. D．Children’s favourite extra-curricular activities. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。由第二段末句“One recent study found that when children aged nine and under were taught music for just one hour a week，they exhibited a higher ability to learn...”可知，最近的一项研究是关于儿童音乐培训和外语学习之间的关系。故选C。 30．What can we learn about Finnish people? A．Most adults study music regularly. B．Most of them are gifted in music. C．Most of them start learning foreign languages at 7. D．Most adults can speak foreign languages. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。由第三段中“Despite this ‘late start’ in all areas except music proficiency，Finnish individuals typically become proficient in three to five foreign languages.”可知，大多数芬兰的成年人都会说外语。故选D。 31．What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To prove a research finding. B．To give practical advice. C．To present an argument. D．To solve a problem. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。由最后一段中“Take Ken String fellow，the American singer-songwriter，as an example of the effect of music on the ability to learn foreign languages.”可推知，作者写最后一段的目的是举例证明该研究发现，即音乐学习影响外语习得能力。故选A。 D Can a small group of drones(无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and，at the same time，help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure(基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis. Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines.They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points.The more regularly they can be inspected，the more railway safety，reliability and on-time performance will be improved.Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient(高效) across the board. That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety.It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance，including sending maintenance staff，often at night，to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure.That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts. By using the latest technologies，drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways，detecting faults in the rail or switches，before they can cause any safety problems.To perform these tasks，drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead.Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future.They will be moving on the track ahead of the train，and programmed to run autonomously.Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot.With their ability to see ahead，they could signal any problem，so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了无人机能在保证铁路安全可靠的同时帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元，这将改变铁路的未来。 32．What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Personnel safety. B．Assistance from drones. C．Inspection and repair. D．Construction of infrastructure. 答案　C 解析　词义猜测题。根据后文“...maintenance，including sending maintenance staff，often at night，to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure.”可知，maintenance指的是“检查和维修”，故选C。 33．What can we learn from the passage? A．The frequency of drones has nothing to do with railway safety. B．Maintenance and design costs can be hugely reduced by using drones. C．Drones cannot offer protection to the rail crews. D．Drones will be able to provide early warnings. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“With their ability to see ahead，they could signal any problem，so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.”可知，无人机能够提前提供警告信号，以便列车及时作出反应。故选D。 34．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of the rail drones? A．Indifferent. B．Negative. C．Positive. D．Not mentioned. 答案　C 解析　观点态度题。根据文章第一段中“That is the very likely future of applying today’s ‘eyes in the sky’ technology...are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.”和最后一段可推知，作者对无人机在铁路运营领域的应用前景是积极乐观的。故选C。 35．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways B．How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded C．What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face D．What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones 答案　A 解析　标题归纳题。根据文章主题段第一段以及后文介绍的无人机的使用将如何改变铁路的运行可知，A项“无人机将如何改变铁路的未来”符合文章中心思想，最适合作本文的标题。故选A。 第二节　(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2024·江西上饶高二期末) As a way to connect the mind，body and spirit，now，yoga is practiced or celebrated all over the world by adults and teens. 36 How can yoga actually benefit children in the long run? Here are some benefits of yoga for kids. •It helps with self-control. Self-control is an important part of a child’s development.Kids who can practice self-control are better at maintaining friendships and making decisions.Studies show that kids who routinely practice yoga are also less impulsive(易冲动的)． 37 •It reduces stress and anxiety. Kids need stress relief tools，too! In fact，reports show that children’s anxiety levels may have doubled as a result of stress in daily life and school. 38 These techniques help kids comfort their minds，which in turn comforts their bodies，so yoga is a great tool for kids to use to work through their stress and anxiety. •It improves focus and attention. Concentration is a tough skill for many young kids to master！ 39 After a while of practicing yoga，children develop the ability to concentrate for longer periods of time.This is a skill that will greatly benefit children when they enter school. •　40　 Another incredible benefit of yoga is that regular practice helps children learn to believe in themselves and their own capabilities.They will feel proud of themselves when they master a new move and can demonstrate all the different poses that they know. A．It affects relationship with parents. B．It is also practiced by young children. C．It boosts self-respect and confidence. D．Doing yoga can help kids have a deep sleep. E．Yoga lets children focus on one manageable task at a time. F．They also have more patience while waiting for positive rewards. G．Yoga helps children practice breathing techniques to calm anxious nerves. 36．答案　B 解析　根据前文“As a way to connect the mind，body and spirit，now，yoga is practiced or celebrated all over the world by adults and teens.”以及后文“How can yoga actually benefit children in the long run？”可知，前文应该提及小孩子做瑜伽，所以应在空处提到小孩子，所以B项(小孩子也会练习)符合语境。故选B。 37．答案　F 解析　根据本段小标题以及空处前句“Studies show that kids who routinely practice yoga are also less impulsive(易冲动的)．”可知，空处应是对本段的总结或补充说明，F项(他们在等待积极回报时也有更多的耐心)符合语境。故选F。 38．答案　G 解析　根据本段小标题可知，本段主要讲瑜伽帮助孩子减少压力和焦虑，空处后一句讲了这些技巧的作用，空处应讲具体的技巧，所以G项(瑜伽帮助孩子们练习呼吸技巧来舒缓焦虑的神经)符合语境。故选G。 39．答案　E 解析　根据本段小标题可知，本段主要讲瑜伽提高小孩子的注意力，再分析设空，应是对首句的进一步补充说明，E项(瑜伽让孩子们一次只专注于一件容易完成的任务)符合语境。故选E。 40．答案　C 解析　分析设空可知，空处是段落小标题，根据后文内容可知，本段是在讲述瑜伽能提高孩子的自信，所以C项(它能增强自尊和自信)符合语境。故选C。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节　(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As we get older and advance in our education，the more teachers we have come into our lives.At some point，it becomes 41 to remember every single one that we’ve had. 42 as it might be，there are some teachers who have a very 43 impact on their students’ lives.Retired kindergarten teacher Jane Pearson is a great 44 .

Then the Spring came，and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds.Only in the garden of the Giant it was still winter.The birds did not care to sing in it as there were no children，and the trees forgot to blossom. The only people who were pleased were the Snow and the Frost.“Spring has forgotten this garden，” they cried，“so we will live here all the year round.” The Snow covered up the grass with her great white cloak(披风)，and the Frost painted all the trees silver.“I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming，” said the Giant，as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden. The Spring never came，nor the Summer.It was always Winter there，and the Frost and the Snow danced about through the trees.One morning the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard some lovely music.It sounded so sweet to his ears that he thought it must be the King’s musicians passing by.It was really only a little linnet(红雀) singing outside his window，but it was so long since he had heard a bird sing in his garden that it seemed to him to be the most beautiful music in the world.“I believe the Spring has come at last，” said the Giant and he jumped out of bed to have a look outside. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 Surprisingly，he saw a most wonderful sight.
