Here are some of the best destinations to consider. Rwanda Rwanda is a destination of great natural variety. The remote Volcanoes National Park offers you the country’s most memorable wildlife experiences. Trekking hikes, lasting over four hours, will provide you views of the awe-inspiring mountain gorillas (大猩猩) in their natural habitats, against five of the eight Virunga volcanoes. Considering the specific permits and strict guidelines, it’s best to travel with an informed expert guide. Costa Rica With rainforests brightened by birdsong, lively rivers and volcanic landscapes, Costa Rica’s reputation for exciting travel is one that those in the know have long tried to keep to themselves. You can go white-water rafting on the Pacuare River. With a head for heights, you can get a bird’s-eye view through the rainforests in Herradura Lipsi, Levitha and Amorgos Within the Acgean island groups in Greece, you can find plenty of lesser-visited islands with ancient villages, dome-topped churches and isolated beaches to discover. From the wine in Lipsi to the caves of Amorgos, visiting quieter islands means that the economic benefits of tournsm can be spread to businesses located outside major tourist hotspots. Antarctica Antarctic wildlife is as fascinating as its landscapes, with many spectacular species to spot. Keep your eyes open for several different types of penguins, seals and whales. A trip to Antarctica also provides you an opportunity to visit many fascinating historic sites. It’s best to explore in the company of expert guides, who can share their in-depth knowledge about this original environment. 1. What will impress people in Rwanda? A. Its ancient villages. B. Its mountain gorillas. C. Its polar wildlife species. D. Its natural rainforest views. 2. Where can you go for an exciting travel in the rainforests? A. Rwanda. B. Antarctica. C. Costa Rica. D. Lipsi, Levitha and Amorgos. 3. What is advised for visitors to Antarctica? A. Following specific strict guidelines B. Keeping off animals’ natural habitats. C. Keeping the experience to themselves. D. Exploring the place with an expert guide. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个游客较少的绝妙旅游景点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rwanda部分中的“Trekking hikes, lasting over four hours, will provide you views of the awe-inspiring mountain gorillas (大猩猩) in their natural habitats, against five of the eight Virunga volcanoes.(徒步旅行持续四个多小时，将为您提供令人敬畏的山地大猩猩在自然栖息地的景色，与维龙加八座火山中的五座相对)”可知，卢旺达的山地大猩猩会让人印象深刻。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Costa Rica部分中的“With rainforests brightened by birdsong, lively rivers and volcanic landscapes, Costa Rica’s reputation for exciting travel is one that those in the know have long tried to keep to themselves.(拥有被鸟鸣声点亮的雨林、生机勃勃的河流和火山地貌，哥斯达黎加作为激动人心的旅游目的地的声誉，是那些知情者长久以来试图保守的秘密)”可知，在哥斯达黎加，你能在热带雨林进行一次令人兴奋的旅行。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s best to explore in the company of expert guides, who can share their in-depth knowledge about this original environment.(最好在专家导游的陪同下进行探索，他们可以分享他们对这个原始环境的深入了解)”可知，建议在南极洲探险的时候找一位专家导游，导游能告诉你关于这片自然环境的一些深度知识。故选D。 B One Friday night, my family stayed in the family room to watch a movie together. We prepared popcorn and other snacks, but poor Iron Man on the screen was getting no attention. My husband was playing a video game. My 14-year-old son was watching a YouTube video, laughing so loudly at what he had happened to find that he decided to text it to us—while we were all sitting in the room together. His message interrupted my own social media browsing (浏览) and finally I realized that we were a family of addicts. Screens had become our entertainment, our social lives and more scarily, our way of communicating. Things had to change. So I did what any modern parent might do: I went upstairs to our modem (调制解调器) and I simply turned it off. As extreme as this may sound I knew it would work. My father-in-law was actually the inspiration for my action. Whenever he thought his children were watching too much TV, he’d walk over to the switch and turn it off. He’d tell them there must have been a fault with their old TV set, and they’d believe him. Everyone would leave the room and find a book to read or head outside instead. I went back downstairs and, without screens to take their attention away, my husband and my son looked directly at me, which felt like the first time in weeks. I told them there was something wrong with the Internet and we’d have to play a board game instead. I pulled out our family favorite-Settlers of Catan (卡坦岛桌面游戏)—and hoped for the best. There were some complaints. But, within a few minutes, we were trading cards, trading stories, and, most importantly, trading screens for conversation. 4. Why didn’t the family focus on Iron Man? A. They were busy eating popcorn. B. They found another funny video. C. They had their own entertainment. D. They had watched this film before. 5. What is the author’s purpose of writing the story of her father-in-law? A. To call on parents to be strict with their children. B. To explain why she chose to turn the modern off. C. To encourage readers to leave the room and go outside. D. To show readers her father in-law was good at parenting. 6. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The family played together. B. The child kept complaining. C. The family went to bed early. D. The father went to fix the network. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Watch a Movie Together B. A Family of Internet Addicts C. The Way to Educate Children D. Replace Screens with Conversation 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要介绍的是作者一家沉迷于屏幕的娱乐中，作者意识到问题后采取措施将网络关闭，一家人开始了正常的交流。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“My husband was playing a video game. My 14-year-old son was watching a YouTube video, laughing so loudly at what he had happened to find that he decided to text it to us—while we were all sitting in the room together. His message interrupted my own social media browsing (浏览) and finally I realized that we were a family of addicts.(我丈夫在玩电子游戏。我14岁的儿子正在看YouTube上的一个视频，对他所发生的事情笑得很大声，他决定把视频发给我们，当时我们都坐在房间里。他的信息打断了我自己的社交媒体浏览，最后我意识到我们是一个上瘾的家庭。)”可知，作者一家人都有自己的娱乐，根本就不看电视，所以没有人关注电视上的“钢铁侠”。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“So I did what any modern parent might do: I went upstairs to our modem (调制解调器) and I simply turned it off. As extreme as this may sound, I knew it would work. My father-in-law was actually the inspiration for my action.(于是，我做了任何现代父母都会做的事：我上楼到我们的调制解调器前，把它关掉。虽然这听起来很极端，但我知道它会奏效。我的公公实际上是我行动的灵感来源。)”可知，作者到楼上关闭了网络，同时解释这种做法是受她公公做法的启发，然后介绍她公公的故事，由此可推断，作者介绍她公公的故事是为了解释为什么她会去关闭调制解调器。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“There were some complaints. But, within a few minutes, we were trading cards, trading stories, and, most importantly, trading screens for conversation.(有一些抱怨。但是，在几分钟内，我们交换了卡片，交换了故事，最重要的是，用对话替换了屏幕。)”可知，虽然大家对作者关闭网络不满意，但是大家还是开始在一起玩了起来，尤其是从“屏幕”上转移到了对话上。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“There were some complaints. But, within a few minutes, we were trading cards, trading stories, and, most importantly, trading screens for conversation.(有一些抱怨。但是，在几分钟内，我们交换了卡片，交换了故事，最重要的是，交换了对话的屏幕。)”并结合全文介绍的全家人沉迷于“屏幕”的情况，作者及时切断网络，一家人开始放下“屏幕”在一起娱乐，所以本文题目为“用对话代替屏幕”符合全文内容，也概括了文章主题。故选D项。 C The Chinese animated (动画的) movie Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-earning animated movie of all time globally since Feb. 18. This shows how big and successful China’s movie industry can be, according to China Daily. Masses of amazing visuals and exciting experience are key reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success. The movie has a huge challenge for any single studio. Instead of one company, 138 Chinese animation studios and over 4,000 professionals worked together to create the film, including both well-known giants and smaller studios, Beijing Daily reported. Red Whale Studios from Suzhou worked on a quarter of the production of Ne Zha 2, making it the biggest company involved in making the movie. The beautiful scenes in the movie, like fish swimming in the waves, were created by 160 people who worked day and night for 26 months, according to the official WeChat account of the Suzhou government. Director Yang Yu, known as Jiaozi, explained that while international teams were initially considered for special effects, the results didn’t meet the standards. “Even top studios from international teams may use less experienced employees,” he told CCTV. Instead, he decided to let domestic teams refine the effects, ensuring the project was in expert hands. One standout example is the work with Fantawild Animation, a film company based in Shenzhen. They were responsible for creating the attractive waterfall in the forest fight scene. Waterfalls are massive in size and have complex and ever-changing flow patterns. To make the waterfall look realistic, the team used advanced physics simulation (模拟) techniques with 50 high-performance workstations to do the necessary processing. The team worked hard to ensure that the final effect was grand and consistent with the style of the waterfalls. In the movie, Ne Zha says, “If there’s no path ahead, I will create one.” Also, 138 Chinese animation companies have come together to shape the future of Chinese animation, showing the strength and creativity of the industry. 8. What can be known about Ne Zha 2 from the passage? A. It was produced by a Chinese film company. B. It features a large number of visual effects. C. It has won a good reputation in overseas markets. D. It has become the most profitable Chinese movie ever. 9. What does the underlined word “refine” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Replace. B. Create. C. Improve. D. Increase. 10. What does the author suggest about Chinese animation companies by citing Ne Zha’s line (台词)? A. They are determined to innovate and succeed. B. They are eager to expand into overseas markets. C They hope for greater recognition of Chinese animation. D. They are keen on promoting traditional culture. 11. Where is this passage most likely taken from? A. A travel magazine. B. A film-making textbook. C. An entertainment news report. D. A scientific research paper. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，文章主要介绍了中国动画电影《哪吒2：魔童闹海》已成为全球有史以来票房最高的动画电影，而电影在视觉特效方面的创新突破来自全国138家动画公司、4000多名动画人的全力托举。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Masses of amazing visuals and exciting experience are key reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success.(大量精彩绝伦的画面和令人兴奋的体验是《哪吒之魔童降世 2》取得成功的关键原因)”可知，《哪吒2：魔童闹海》具有大量的视觉效果，故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Director Yang Yu, known as Jiaozi, explained that while international teams were initially considered for special effects, the results didn’t meet the standards.(杨宇导演（别名“饺子”）解释说，起初确实考虑过邀请国际团队来负责特效工作，但最终的效果并不符合要求)”可知，最初考虑国际团队制作特效，但结果并不符合标准，由此推知划线词所在句意为“相反，他决定让国内团队改进效果，确保项目由专家完成”，refine意为“改进”，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the movie, Ne Zha says, “If there’s no path ahead, I will create one.” Also,138Chinese animation companies have come together to shape the future of Chinese animation, showing the strength and creativity of the industry.(在影片中，哪吒说道：“如果前方没有道路，我也会开辟一条。”此外，138家中国动画公司携手合作，共同塑造中国动画的未来，展现了该行业的实力与创造力)”可知，通过引用《哪吒》中的台词，作者认为中国的动画公司决心创新并取得成功。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The Chinese animated (动画的) movie Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-earning animated movie of all time globally since Feb. 18. This shows how big and successful China’s movie industry can be, according to China Daily.(据《中国日报》报道，自2月18日以来，中国动画电影《哪吒2：魔童闹海》已成为全球有史以来票房最高的动画电影。这表明中国电影产业的规模之大、成就之辉煌是不言而喻的)”结合文章主要介绍了中国动画电影《哪吒2：魔童闹海》已成为全球有史以来票房最高的动画电影，而电影在视觉特效方面的创新突破来自全国138家动画公司、4000多名动画人的全力托举。可知，文章选自一则娱乐新闻报道。故选C。 D When was the last time you thought about music, and what role does music play in your life? If you enjoy music every day, you are likely gaining many benefits. Music has a mathematical structure based on relationships between one note and the next. You may not be aware of it, but your brain has to do a lot of computing to make sense of it. So, not surprisingly, listening to music can improve learning, memory, and mental alertness (警觉性). It also boosts concentration and mindfulness, as listening, playing, or moving to music keeps you focused in the present moment and even puts you “in the zone” where you experience the happy state of “flow”. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain, and improve sleep quality, mood, well-being, and happiness. And especially when moving to music, your brain gets washed in beneficial “feel-good” hormones (激素). So music can potentially extend your life and enhance its quality. Music is a vital element of culture, and every culture has specific types of music created, produced, and enjoyed by its people. In the U. S. alone, there are dozens of popular types, including Afro-beat, bluegrass, classical, and country. All these types of music have different origins and are associated with different subcultures, but they can be enjoyed by anyone, leading to cross-cultural appreciation and communication. Musical traditions are also connected to cultural celebrations — think about the music you associate with birthdays, graduations, weddings, and so on. Your music preference in the moment can depend on how you want to feel. You likely pick specific types of music depending on whether you’re looking to relax or exercise, trying to be productive, or romantic. The right music can boost your mood and motivation to clean up, do homework, or work out. In contrast, you likely avoid music that makes you sad, or bored. 12. What is the function of the question in the beginning? A. To put forward a new concept. B. To offer some advice for readers. C. To get the information of your interest. D. To lead in the topic to be talked about. 13. Why can listening to music improve your ability to pay attention? A. It keeps you concentrated. B. It makes you do computing. C. It builds relations between notes. D. It draws your interest in new things. 14. The author mentions American music in paragraph 4 to show that ______. A. music connects different peoples B. the USA is a country with diverse cultures C. each type of music is enjoyed by unique people D. not all kinds of music are popular with people 15. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. Music has little effect on people’s emotions. B. People choose music based on their desired emotions. C. All types of music make people feel energetic. D. Sad music is always avoided by people. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了音乐在人们生活中的多重角色和益处，包括其对大脑功能的积极影响、文化的重要性以及根据个人情绪选择音乐的方式。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段提出“When was the last time you thought about music, and what role does music play in your life?(你上一次想到音乐是什么时候，音乐在你的生活中扮演什么角色？)”，后文围绕音乐在生活中的作用展开，因此开头的问题是为了引出文章要讨论的话题。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It also boosts concentration and mindfulness, as listening, playing, or moving to music keeps you focused in the present moment and even puts you “in the zone” where you experience the happy state of “flow”.(它还能提升专注力与觉察力，因为聆听、演奏音乐或随着音乐律动，能让你专注于当下，甚至让你进入“心流区”，在这个状态下，你会体验到“心流” 带来的愉悦感。)”可知，听音乐能提高注意力是因为它让你集中注意力。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Music is a vital element of culture, and every culture has specific types of music created, produced, and enjoyed by its people.(音乐是文化的重要组成部分，每种文化都有其人民创造、制作和欣赏的特定类型的音乐。)”和“All these types of music have different origins and are associated with different subcultures, but they can be enjoyed by anyone, leading to cross-cultural appreciation and communication.(所有这些类型的音乐都有不同的起源，并与不同的亚文化相关联，但任何人都可以欣赏它们，从而导致跨文化的欣赏和交流。)”可知，作者提到美国音乐是为了表明音乐连接不同的人。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Your music preference in the moment can depend on how you want to feel.(你此刻的音乐偏好可能取决于你想要的感觉。)”可知，人们根据自己的情绪选择音乐。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Benefits of Lifelong Learning Lifelong learning has become essential in a constantly changing world due to fast-moving technology, changing job fields, and shifting cultural standards. ____16____.

Rwanda Rwanda is a destination of great natural variety. The remote Volcanoes National Park offers you the country’s most memorable wildlife experiences. Trekking hikes, lasting over four hours, will provide you views of the awe-inspiring mountain gorillas (大猩猩) in their natural habitats, against five of the eight Virunga volcanoes. Considering the specific permits and strict guidelines, it’s best to travel with an informed expert guide. Costa Rica With rainforests brightened by birdsong, lively rivers and volcanic landscapes, Costa Rica’s reputation for exciting travel is one that those in the know have long tried to keep to themselves. You can go white-water rafting on the Pacuare River. With a head for heights, you can get a bird’s-eye view through the rainforests in Herradura Lipsi, Levitha and Amorgos Within the Acgean island groups in Greece, you can find plenty of lesser-visited islands with ancient villages, dome-topped churches and isolated beaches to discover. From the wine in Lipsi to the caves of Amorgos, visiting quieter islands means that the economic benefits of tournsm can be spread to businesses located outside major tourist hotspots. Antarctica Antarctic wildlife is as fascinating as its landscapes, with many spectacular species to spot. Keep your eyes open for several different types of penguins, seals and whales. A trip to Antarctica also provides you an opportunity to visit many fascinating historic sites. It’s best to explore in the company of expert guides, who can share their in-depth knowledge about this original environment. 1. What will impress people in Rwanda? A. Its ancient villages. B.

We prepared popcorn and other snacks, but poor Iron Man on the screen was getting no attention. My husband was playing a video game. My 14-year-old son was watching a YouTube video, laughing so loudly at what he had happened to find that he decided to text it to us—while we were all sitting in the room together. His message interrupted my own social media browsing (浏览) and finally I realized that we were a family of addicts. Screens had become our entertainment, our social lives and more scarily, our way of communicating. Things had to change. So I did what any modern parent might do: I went upstairs to our modem (调制解调器) and I simply turned it off. As extreme as this may sound, I knew it would work. My father-in-law was actually the inspiration for my action. Whenever he thought his children were watching too much TV, he’d walk over to the switch and turn it off. He’d tell them there must have been a fault with their old TV set, and they’d believe him. Everyone would leave the room and find a book to read or head outside instead. I went back downstairs and, without screens to take their attention away, my husband and my son looked directly at me, which felt like the first time in weeks. I told them there was something wrong with the Internet and we’d have to play a board game instead. I pulled out our family favorite-Settlers of Catan (卡坦岛桌面游戏)—and hoped for the best. There were some complaints. But, within a few minutes, we were trading cards, trading stories, and, most importantly, trading screens for conversation. 4. Why didn’t the family focus on Iron Man? A. They were busy eating popcorn. B. They found another funny video. C They had their own entertainment. D. They had watched this film before. 5. What is the author’s purpose of writing the story of her father-in-law? A. To call on parents to be strict with their children. B. To explain why she chose to turn the modern off. C. To encourage readers to leave the room and go outside. D. To show readers her father in-law was good at parenting. 6. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The family played together. B. The child kept complaining. C. The family went to bed early. D. The father went to fix the network. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Watch a Movie Together B. A Family of Internet Addicts C. The Way to Educate Children D. Replace Screens with Conversation C The Chinese animated (动画的) movie Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-earning animated movie of all time globally since Feb. 18. This shows how big and successful China’s movie industry can be, according to China Daily. Masses of amazing visuals and exciting experience are key reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success. The movie has a huge challenge for any single studio. Instead of one company, 138 Chinese animation studios and over 4,000 professionals worked together to create the film, including both well-known giants and smaller studios, Beijing Daily reported. Red Whale Studios from Suzhou worked on a quarter of the production of Ne Zha 2, making it the biggest company involved in making the movie. The beautiful scenes in the movie, like fish swimming in the waves, were created by 160 people who worked day and night for 26 months, according to the official WeChat account of the Suzhou government. Director Yang Yu, known as Jiaozi, explained that while international teams were initially considered for special effects, the results didn’t meet the standards. “Even top studios from international teams may use less experienced employees,” he told CCTV. Instead, he decided to let domestic teams refine the effects, ensuring the project was in expert hands. One standout example is the work with Fantawild Animation, a film company based in Shenzhen. They were responsible for creating the attractive waterfall in the forest fight scene. Waterfalls are massive in size and have complex and ever-changing flow patterns. To make the waterfall look realistic, the team used advanced physics simulation (模拟) techniques with 50 high-performance workstations to do the necessary processing. The team worked hard to ensure that the final effect was grand and consistent with the style of the waterfalls. In the movie, Ne Zha says, “If there’s no path ahead, I will create one.” Also, 138 Chinese animation companies have come together to shape the future of Chinese animation, showing the strength and creativity of the industry. 8. What can be known about Ne Zha 2 from the passage? A. It was produced by a Chinese film company. B. It features a large number of visual effects. C. It has won a good reputation in overseas markets. D. It has become the most profitable Chinese movie ever. 9. What does the underlined word “refine” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Replace. B. Create. C. Improve. D. Increase. 10. What does the author suggest about Chinese animation companies by citing Ne Zha’s line (台词)? A. They are determined to innovate and succeed. B. They are eager to expand into overseas markets. C. They hope for greater recognition of Chinese animation. D. They are keen on promoting traditional culture. 11. Where is this passage most likely taken from? A. A travel magazine. B. A film-making textbook. C. An entertainment news report. D. A scientific research paper. D When was the last time you thought about music, and what role does music play in your life? If you enjoy music every day, you are likely gaining many benefits. Music has a mathematical structure based on relationships between one note and the next. You may not be aware of it, but your brain has to do a lot of computing to make sense of it. So, not surprisingly, listening to music can improve learning, memory, and mental alertness (警觉性). It also boosts concentration and mindfulness, as listening, playing, or moving to music keeps you focused in the present moment and even puts you “in the zone” where you experience the happy state of “flow”. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain, and improve sleep quality, mood, well-being, and happiness. And especially when moving to music, your brain gets washed in beneficial “feel-good” hormones (激素). So music can potentially extend your life and enhance its quality. Music is a vital element of culture, and every culture has specific types of music created, produced, and enjoyed by its people. In the U. S. alone, there are dozens of popular types, including Afro-beat, bluegrass, classical, and country. All these types of music have different origins and are associated with different subcultures, but they can be enjoyed by anyone, leading to cross-cultural appreciation and communication. Musical traditions are also connected to cultural celebrations — think about the music you associate with birthdays, graduations, weddings, and so on. Your music preference in the moment can depend on how you want to feel. You likely pick specific types of music depending on whether you’re looking to relax or exercise, trying to be productive, or romantic. The right music can boost your mood and motivation to clean up, do homework, or work out. In contrast, you likely avoid music that makes you sad, or bored. 12. What is the function of the question in the beginning? A. To put forward a new concept. B. To offer some advice for readers. C. To get the information of your interest. D. To lead in the topic to be talked about. 13. Why can listening to music improve your ability to pay attention? A. It keeps you concentrated. B. It makes you do computing. C. It builds relations between notes. D. It draws your interest in new things. 14. The author mentions American music in paragraph 4 to show that ______. A. music connects different peoples B. the USA is a country with diverse cultures C. each type of music is enjoyed by unique people D. not all kinds of music are popular with people 15. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. Music has little effect on people’s emotions. B. People choose music based on their desired emotions. C. All types of music make people feel energetic. D. Sad music is always avoided by people. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Benefits of Lifelong Learning Lifelong learning has become essential in a constantly changing world due to fast-moving technology, changing job fields, and shifting cultural standards. ____16____.
