21.细节理解题。根据Environmental Protection Club部分中“Last semester, we worked with the local community to clean up the nearby river, which was highly praised by the town government.(上学期,我们和当地社区一起清理了附近的河流,受到了镇政府的高度赞扬。)”可知,环保俱乐部上学期参与了清理附近河流的活动。A、C 是每月“绿色校园” 活动的内容,D 是俱乐部提供的常规机会,均非上学期的特定活动。故选B项。

【答案】24.D 25.A 26.A 27.B
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过作者幼年的一件趣事,感悟到每个人都是独一无二的,要敢于做自己。
24.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.(当我还是个孩子的时候,没有什么比在宾夕法尼亚州西部祖父的农场里度过周日下午更让我喜欢的了。房子和田地被绵延数英里的蜿蜒石墙环绕着,为像我这样的城市孩子提供了无尽的乐趣。)”可知,作者喜欢去农场是因为他可以在那里体验到新的乐趣。故选D项。
25.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.””(“弗雷德,”他微笑着说,“你做了你自己,使今天成为一个特别的日子。永远记住,这个世界上只有一个人喜欢你,我喜欢真实的你。”)”可知,作者的祖父支持他遵从自己的内心。故选A项。
26.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.” (但在我离开房间之前,我被祖父的大声声音拦住了。“现在请稍等一下。”我听见他说,“让孩子爬石墙吧。他必须学会自己做事情。”)”可推知,祖父赞成孩子学会自己做事,所以祖父是一个非常开明的人。故选A项。
27.主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句““There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.” (“这个世界上只有一个人和你一样,”孩子们会听到我说,“人们会喜欢你本来的样子。”)”以及结合作者与祖父之间的故事可知,本文主要围绕着“敢于做自己”这一主题展开,故C项“Just Be Yourself.(做你自己)”概括全文,最合适作为文章的标题。故选B项。

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, earworms are often faster, have an easy-to-remember melody (旋律), and have special changes in pitch (音高).(例如,耳虫通常节奏更快、旋律易记,且在音高上有特殊变化)”推知,节奏快、曲调朗朗上口的曲子更容易成为耳虫。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“You can listen to another song or do a puzzle to stop yourself from concentrating on it. Or try chewing gum, which affects how your brain remembers music. Even if you do nothing, a stuck song will eventually go away on its own.(你可以听另一首歌或做一个谜题来阻止自己集中注意力。或者试试嚼口香糖,它会影响大脑对音乐的记忆。即使你什么都不做,一首被卡住的歌最终也会自己消失)”可知,可以通过做转移注意力的事情来摆脱耳虫。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Even if you do nothing, a stuck song will eventually go away on its own. Now, that must be music to your ears!(即使你什么都不做,一首被卡住的歌最终也会自己消失。这下,你肯定觉得如闻仙乐吧!)”可知,即使什么都不做耳虫最终也会消失。由此推知,最后一句话指的是这(耳虫最终会自己消失)是一个好消息。故选A。

45.考查名词词义辨析。句意:当我引导他穿过繁忙的十字路口时,他抓住我手臂的感觉出乎意料地平静。A. pressure压力;B. grasp抓,握;C. touch触摸;D. contact联系。根据空后的“on my arm”可知,此处指的是盲人“抓住”作者的手臂。故选B项。

"Mom and Dad, I have good news to share!" Jack exclaimed excitedly into the phone, his voice quivering with anticipation. He could hardly wait to tell his parents about the remarkable B+ grade he had achieved. With bated breath, he recounted every detail of the exam and the arduous efforts he had put in over the past month. His words were filled with eagerness, longing for the moment when he would hear their proud and delighted responses, mending the rift that had formed due to his previous academic performance. Hearing what Jack said, his parents asked in doubt, “How could it be? Did you finish the exams on your own? ”. “Of course, it is me who did the job. Ms. Green could prove that”, immediately responded Jack.
Jack phoned Ms. Green, hoping she could remove his parents’ doubts. Ms. Green, who had witnessed Jack’s dedication first-hand, readily agreed. It was she who then dialed Jack’s parents, patiently elaborating on the incredible progress Jack had made. With his efforts laid bare, it was not long before his parents’ skepticism fade. In this moment, not only was Jack's academic triumph celebrated, but also the power of perseverance and the support of a teacher who believed in him were affirmed. Indeed, it was a turning point that would shape Jack's future with newfound confidence and determination.

Joining a club is a great way to make friends, develop skills, and enrich your school life. Here are three popular clubs at our school for you to explore:
Environmental Protection Club
The Environmental Protection Club focuses on raising students’ awareness of environmental issues and organizing practical activities. Every month, we hold “Green Campus” campaigns, such as tree-planting on the school playground and waste-sorting competitions in classrooms. Last semester, we worked with the local community to clean up the nearby river, which was highly praised by the town government. Members also get the chance to attend environmental lectures given by university professors. Whether you’re interested in protecting wildlife or reducing plastic waste, this club is for you.
Drama Club
If you love acting, singing, or stage design, the Drama Club is the perfect choice. We put on two plays every school year — one in the fall and one in the spring. Last year, our performance of The Little Prince attracted over 300 audience members, including students, teachers, and parents. Club members take turns in different roles: some act as characters, some design costumes and sets, and others handle lighting and sound. Even if you have no prior experience, our experienced teachers will provide training sessions every Wednesday afternoon.
Robotics Club
For students who are curious about technology and engineering, the Robotics Club offers an exciting platform. We learn to build and program robots using simple kits. Every year, we take part in the provincial high school robotics competition. Last year, our team won the third prize for designing a robot that could help with household chores like sweeping the floor. The club meets every Tuesday and Thursday after school in the science lab. You don’t need to be good at math or science — just bring your enthusiasm!
21.What activity did the Environmental Protection Club do last semester?

As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.
Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls —and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”
24.Why did the writer enjoy his visits to the farm?
A.There were old stone houses. B.He was allowed to climb the walls.
C.He missed his grandfather a lot. D.He could experience new fun there.
25.What can be inferred about the writer from the passage?
A.He was backed up by his grandfather to follow his heart.
B.He didn’t expect his parents’ disagreement on wall climbing.
C.He became a TV program host with his grandfather’s help.
D.He didn’t know the possible danger of the stone walls.
26.Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandfather?
A.Open-minded. B.Adventurous. C.Kind-hearted. D.Dependable.
27.Which is probably the best title for the text?
A.Unforgettable Childhood B.Just Be Yourself
C.Do Whatever You Like D.Like grandfather, like grandson

Every third Friday of May, we pause to recognize the fragile existence of endangered species. We share the planet with countless animals, plants, and insects. Yet, many of them are disappearing right before our eyes. National Endangered Species Day urges us to take action before it’s too late.
The day was established in 2006 by the U.S. Congress to raise awareness about species in danger of dying out. But the issue goes back decades. Laws to protect endangered species have been around for over 40 years. Today, the urgency remains the same. Species are still disappearing, and their habitats are under threat.
When the last of a species disappears, it’s gone forever. Endangered species are dangerously close to that fate. Their numbers are so low that every birth counts, every death matters. Some remain in the thousands, others in the hundreds, and a few are down to mere tens.
When a species disappears, it doesn’t go quietly. The loss greatly affects ecosystems. When a species disappears, its prey populations explode. Plants die off, and animals lose their food source. The web of life is fragile, and every species has a role. Take pollinators, for instance. Bees, butterflies, and bats help plants reproduce. If they disappear, crops fail, and food chains fall apart.
National Endangered Species Day reminds us that time is running out for many species. But the fate of these animals, plants, and insects isn’t set in stone. Organizations like the World Wildlife Federation and the Jane Goodall Institute work tirelessly to protect endangered species. They fund anti-poaching efforts, save injured animals, and restore habitats. Individuals can help too. Donate to wildlife organizations. Volunteer at local conservation centers. Adopt sustainable habits such as using less plastic. Every choice, no matter how small, can make a difference.
Saving endangered species isn’t just about protecting animals. It’s about preserving ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, and ensuring a balanced, healthy planet for future generations. And that future starts with us.
28.What do the underlined words "the issue" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The loss of wildlife habitat.
B. The 2006 U.S. Congress decision.
C. The problem of species extinction.
D. The lack of awareness of endangered species.
29.What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning pollinators in paragraph 4?
A. The sharp drop in biodiversity.
B. The great importance of ecosystems.
C. The urgent need to save endangered species.
D. The chain reaction caused by species extinction.
30.What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The cost of wildlife protection.
B. The measures against species extinction.
C. The reasons for protecting endangered species.
D. The effectiveness of existing preservation efforts.
31.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Ecosystems and biodiversity are closely related.
B. Future generations should take more responsibility.
C. Protecting endangered species is a time-consuming task.
D. Preservation efforts benefit both wildlife and human survival.
D
It can be fun to hear a catchy tune in your head—until that tune begins to play over and over again! Songs that get stuck in our brain are called earworms. An earworm can stay in your head after you listen to the tune play out loud. But it can also occur if something makes you remember the song—like visiting the place where you first heard it.
Scientists have studied earworms for years. They have found that some tunes are more likely to stay in your head than others. For example, earworms are often faster, have an easy-to-remember melody, and have special changes in pitch.
By examining brain scans, scientists have learned what happens in your head when you have an earworm. When you hear music—or even imagine hearing it—part of the brain called the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) becomes active. This part processes sounds and sends messages to other parts of the brain connected to memory and feelings. Some scientists think your brain can keep sending these signals for a short time, which causes the song to repeat in your mind.
What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song in the first place? Scientists are still not sure. But long ago, before writing was invented, we passed information through songs. So, we may have developed a habit of keeping music in our heads to help remember important information.
Whatever the reason, when a tune gets stuck, it can be really annoying! Luckily, there may be ways to get rid of an earworm. You can listen to another song or do a puzzle to stop yourself from concentrating on it. Or try chewing gum, which affects how your brain remembers music. Even if you do nothing, a stuck song will eventually go away on its own. Now, that must be music to your ears!
32. What is an “earworm” according to the text?
A. A real insect that lives in human ears.
B. A tool scientists use to study memory.
C. A type of brain disease affecting the auditory cortex.
D. A song that repeats uncontrollably in one’s mind.
33. What feature makes a tune more likely become an earworm?
A. It is slow and quiet. B. It is fast with catchy tunes.
C. It has no melody. D. It is very long.
34. According to the text, how can we free ourselves from an earworm?
A. By listening to the same song repeatedly.
B. By keeping away from all kinds of music.
C. By doing activities that take our attention away.
D. By visiting the place where we first heard it.
35. What is your understanding of the last sentence?
A. It’s good news. B. It’s hard to believe.
C. It’s an alarming fact. D. It’s an annoying message.

Parents are the number one influence in their children’s lives. ____36____ In a Parents Empowered survey, parents placed themselves last in the line-up of influences on their children—after friends, teachers and media. ____37____Research shows that there are three things parents can do to protect children from risky behaviors: bonding, boundaries, and monitoring.
The stronger the relationship between parents and their children, the more the child will not want to disappoint the parent. Eating dinner together as a family has a significant impact on protecting children from risky behavior. ____38____ Listening to children without preaching (说教) strengthens the bond.

A recent study shows the best kind of parenting to protect youth is “warm and with follow through”. ____39____ When they are going out, ask the questions: Where are you going? Who are you going with? What will you be doing? When will you be home? Will there be alcohol or other drugs there?

The night had deepened and all was quiet. But Jack was burning the midnight oil, busy with his revision work, determined to improve his grades. A wave of tiredness crept over him; he stretched his arms and drank another cup of coffee. He felt refreshed and continued to work hard. He knew he couldn't let his recent failures define him.
That morning, as the test papers were handed back, Jack was shocked to find that he got the only D in his class. Though he didn’t do well in his lessons, the unexpected grade hit him hard. Most of his classmates got their desired grades, their laughter and chatter feeling like a painful reminder of his failure. He couldn't help but recall that he always passed exams with C, and in his parents' eyes, he was a total failure. This painful reality weighed heavily on him. Staring at the glaring D grade on his paper, Jack felt he should do something. He couldn’t continue down this path. He needed to change.
From that day, he was more focused and eager to learn in class. He raised his hand more often, contributing more, and his assignments showed his hard work and dedication. His teacher, Ms. Green, impressed by his efforts, praised him in front of the class. His classmates started to see him differently too, giving him friendly smiles and support, which boosted his confidence. Everyone noticed a big change in Jack, except his busy parents.
After a month of hard work, the day of the next exam finally arrived. Jack walked into the examination hall with confidence, feeling well prepared and ready to face the challenges ahead. As he worked through the test, everything seemed to flow smoothly. When the bell rang, he felt he could make it this time.
Two days later, the results were announced. Jack was excited to see his amazing grade — B+. “Well done, Jack! We are all so proud of you!” Ms. Green said. After school, Jack rushed out, eager to show his parents his B+ grade.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
