When I entered Ruthin School, I decided to take Latin (拉丁文) at school. I was so excited and really expected to learn it well.
However, the Latin class turned out to be quite boring. Each day, Mr. Keady, the teacher, would ask us to open our books and read aloud the Latin forms of words. This was the way he taught us every day. That was until one afternoon when, once again, we were asked to open our books, and I decided to speak up.
When Mr. Keady asked what was wrong, I explained why I found his class boring, how I had expected more, and that his teaching method seemed old-fashioned. When I finished speaking, I expected Mr. Keady to angrily send me to the head teacher.
To my surprise, he sat at his desk quietly, looking disappointed (失望的) and tired. After a moment of silence, Mr. Keady spoke. He quietly said that he would think carefully about what I had said. And that was it.
In the following weeks, the Latin class didn’t become the exciting learning environment I had hoped for, but Mr. Keady did try harder to interest us in his classes.
Maybe some people would praise what I did, but even so many years later, I still feel bad about it. If I saw him now, I would tell him how much I regretted what I’d done that day in class. I would also tell him that he taught me a wonderful lesson that day. Following my unkind words, Mr. Keady showed me that being wounded doesn’t mean you have to give away your dignity (尊严), and that no one can take it away from you.
5. The writer thought Mr. Keady’s Latin class was ________.
A. exciting B. boring C. difficult D. useful
6. The underlined word “it” refers to ________.
A. what I said B. Mr. Keady’s teaching method
C. Ruthin School D. Mr. Keady wasn’t angry at all
7. Mr. Keady tried to improve his classes through ________.
A. reading the new words aloud B. being more strict with his students
C. making his lessons interesting D. showing videos about Roman culture
8. What did the writer learn from Mr. Keady?
A. How to learn a language well.
B. The way to get on well with others.
C. Never too old to learn a new language.
D. Keep our dignity no matter what happens.

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager (热切) to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories (记忆) of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man loving his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I was afraid of him and felt bad about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to try to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate at the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny actions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back (阻止) before?
The next day, my dad pulled out his childhood (童年) pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m pleased with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
9. As a little girl, the writer felt ________ when she went out with her father on weekends.
A. nervous B. warm C. excited D. safe
10. The writer felt surprised at her father’s ________ when she went to Arizona to visit him.
A. new home B. big changes C. health condition D. everyday life

B. As a child, the writer didn’t love her father at all.
C. Without friends, the writer’s father lived a lonely life.
D. The writer’s father was strict with her when she was a school girl.

A. the writer’s son B. the cafe owner
C. the writer’s father D. one of the father’s friends

People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. _____ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment (失望). The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves (波动).
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry (产业) in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can tell chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.
13. Which of the following can be put in “_____” in the first paragraph?
A. Humans may not like animals. B. Scientists know nothing about it.
C. Nobody knows why this happens. D. A new study adds chickens to the list.
14. What did the researchers do to study chicken feelings?
A. They watched chickens in a farm.
B. They studied chicken sounds carefully.
C. They asked farmers about their chickens.
D. They taught chickens to make different sounds.
15. The research findings was valuable because it could _______.
A. improve the taste of chicken meat
B. help farmers make their chickens healthier
C. teach chickens to communicate with humans
D. lead to new technology to study chicken feelings
16. Through the text, the writer wants to tell us _______.
A. that the animals have feelings
B. that we should protect the animals
C. that humans can understand chicken’s feelings
D how to make the birds happier and healthier

四、阅读与表达(共4小题,41-43小题,每小题2分,44小题4分;满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。
As an Olympic fan from a very young age, I have already got over my crush (迷恋) over any sporting “hero”, because a “hero” may be forgotten as time passes by. But this time in Paris I think I have come across one.
Ni Xialian, who was born in 1963, was the oldest table tennis player at the Paris Olympics in 2024. This time, as the former Chinese world champion (冠军), she did her best to play against her much younger opponent (对手), 23-year-old Sun Yingsha. They both did not hide their skills and tried their best.
Though failed at last, Ni had no regrets and deeply thanked the crowd. At the post-match interview, she said that her dream had come true to play against and compete with the world’s top player at the Olympics. Before facing Sun at the opposite side of the table, “Aunt Ni” was invited to serve as a training partner (陪练) to China’s eventual mixed doubles (混合双打) champions Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin because of her professional technique (专业技术).
Throughout Sun and Ni’s match, the CCTV reporter kept referring to Ni as “Master Ni” instead of using her full name to show respect for what she did for China’s table tennis. Ni has made great efforts in spreading the sport in Europe and around the world.
I truly admire the shared slogan (口号) of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics “Games Wide Open”. To me, it means “wide open” not only for any competitor who presents the Olympic spirit but also for any performance or choice made by an Olympian.
Not representing (代表) China though, Ni is still winning her home country’s hearts. I believe she will always be respected by China.
41. How old was Ni Xialian when she took part in the Paris Olympics?
________________________________________________
42. What was Ni Xialian’s dream?
________________________________________________
43. Why did the CCTV reporter call Ni “Master Ni” instead of using her full name?
________________________________________________
44. What do you think of Ni Xialian? What do you learn from her? (Write 30 words or more.)

When I entered Ruthin School, I decided to take Latin (拉丁文) at school. I was so excited and really expected to learn it well.
However, the Latin class turned out to be quite boring. Each day, Mr. Keady, the teacher, would ask us to open our books and read aloud the Latin forms of words. This was the way he taught us every day. That was until one afternoon when, once again, we were asked to open our books, and I decided to speak up.
When Mr. Keady asked what was wrong, I explained why I found his class boring, how I had expected more, and that his teaching method seemed old-fashioned. When I finished speaking, I expected Mr. Keady to angrily send me to the head teacher.
To my surprise, he sat at his desk quietly, looking disappointed (失望的) and tired. After a moment of silence, Mr. Keady spoke. He quietly said that he would think carefully about what I had said. And that was it.
In the following weeks, the Latin class didn’t become the exciting learning environment I had hoped for, but Mr. Keady did try harder to interest us in his classes.
Maybe some people would praise what I did, but even so many years later, I still feel bad about it. If I saw him now, I would tell him how much I regretted what I’d done that day in class. I would also tell him that he taught me a wonderful lesson that day.

四、阅读与表达(共4小题,41-43小题,每小题2分,44小题4分;满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。
As an Olympic fan from a very young age, I have already got over my crush (迷恋) over any sporting “hero”, because a “hero” may be forgotten as time passes by. But this time in Paris I think I have come across one.
Ni Xialian, who was born in 1963, was the oldest table tennis player at the Paris Olympics in 2024. This time, as the former Chinese world champion (冠军), she did her best to play against her much younger opponent (对手), 23-year-old Sun Yingsha. They both did not hide their skills and tried their best.
Though failed at last, Ni had no regrets and deeply thanked the crowd. At the post-match interview, she said that her dream had come true to play against and compete with the world’s top player at the Olympics. Before facing Sun at the opposite side of the table, “Aunt Ni” was invited to serve as a training partner (陪练) to China’s eventual mixed doubles (混合双打) champions Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin because of her professional technique (专业技术).
Throughout Sun and Ni’s match, the CCTV reporter kept referring to Ni as “Master Ni” instead of using her full name to show respect for what she did for China’s table tennis. Ni has made great efforts in spreading the sport in Europe and around the world.
I truly admire the shared slogan (口号) of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics “Games Wide Open”. To me, it means “wide open” not only for any competitor who presents the Olympic spirit but also for any performance or choice made by an Olympian.
Not representing (代表) China though, Ni is still winning her home country’s hearts. I believe she will always be respected by China.
41. How old was Ni Xialian when she took part in the Paris Olympics?
________________________________________________
42. What was Ni Xialian’s dream?
________________________________________________
43. Why did the CCTV reporter call Ni “Master Ni” instead of using her full name?
________________________________________________
44. What do you think of Ni Xialian? What do you learn from her? (Write 30 words or more.)
________________________________________________
【答案】41. She was 61 years old.
42. Her dream was to play against and compete with the world’s top player at the Olympics.
43. To show respect for what she did for China’s table tennis.
44. Ni Xialian is a respectable athlete. She keeps playing table tennis even at an old age and contributes to promoting the sport. We can learn her persistence and passion for what she loves.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了乒乓球运动员倪夏莲在巴黎奥运会的表现及她对乒乓球运动的贡献,体现其奥运精神,赢得尊重。
【41题详解】
根据“Ni Xialian, who was born in 1963, was the oldest table tennis player at the Paris Olympics in 2024.”可知,所以倪夏莲参加巴黎奥运会时61岁。故填She was 61 years old.
【42题详解】
根据“she said that her dream had come true to play against and compete with the world’s top player at the Olympics.”可知,她的梦想是在奥运会上与世界顶级选手对战和竞争。故填Her dream was to play against and compete with the world’s top player at the Olympics.
【43题详解】
根据“the CCTV reporter kept referring to Ni as ‘Master Ni’ instead of using her full name to show respect for what she did for China’s table tennis.”可知,是为了表达对她为中国乒乓球所做贡献的尊重。故填To show respect for what she did for China’s table tennis.
【44题详解】
本题是开放性问题,答案不唯一。需结合对倪夏莲的看法,阐述从她身上学到的内容,语言通顺、理由合理即可。故填Ni Xialian is a respectable athlete. She keeps playing table tennis even at an old age and contributes to promoting the sport. We can learn her persistence and passion for what she loves.

例文
Dear Eric,
How is everything going? I’m writing to introduce the Spring Festival, the most important traditional holiday in China. It usually falls in January or February.
Before the festival comes, most families will do a thorough house cleaning to sweep away bad luck. During this festival, families gather to enjoy a big dinner, especially dumplings, which stand for good luck. We also set off fireworks, paste red couplets on doors, and give children lucky money in red envelopes. Everyone feels happy and excited because it’s a time for family reunion and hope for a better new year.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hui
