They are all white and full of thick fur (厚厚的皮毛). Their fur can protect them from water. Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time in the sea. Poison Dart Frogs (箭毒蛙) Poison dart frogs live in South America. They often have beautiful colours. Most of them are small, sometimes less than 1.5 cm. A poison dart frog has enough poison to stop the heart of a large animal from beating. The poison is on their skin (皮肤), so don’t touch them. 36. What are the great white sharks famous for? A.

We always have to make certain choices. But sometimes the right choice can be difficult to make. So it is natural that people may ask their family and friends for help. But I think the most important decisions should be made on your own. Normally, people would usually consider a certain choice by considering how much it can be helpful for them. In fact, it is natural, too. Most of the time, they’re choosing for themselves, not for anyone else. So if we ask others for help, we may be led sideways (偏地) by those who think differently. Second, when people ask others for advice, they will probably hear many different ideas. What others see as being necessary may not be equally important to the person who needs help. It is because different people have different thoughts. This could result in a difficult situation where someone might feel confused (困惑的). On the contrary (相反), if a person considers a problem on his or her own, he or she can stay peaceful and think about the advantages and drawbacks of each decision. We know ourselves better than anyone else, after all. If we choose on our own, the final choice will probably be reasonable. I think trying to make choices on one’s own is better than depending on others. 39. When people meet problems, it is very ________ for them to ask for help. A. impossible B. simple C. natural D. important 40. The underlined word “drawbacks” means ________. A. 缺点 B. 困难 C. 选择 D. 兴趣 41. What is the best title for this text? A. Depend on Yourself for Big Decisions B. Advantages and Drawbacks of Each Decision C. The Different Thoughts of Different People D. Don’t Depend on Your Parents or Others 【答案】39. C 40. A 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述了在面临重要选择时，应该自己做决定，而不是依赖他人。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So it is natural that people may ask their family and friends for help.”可知，人们遇到问题时向他人求助是很自然的。故选C。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“he or she can stay peaceful and think about the advantages and drawbacks of each decision.”可知，此处“advantages and drawbacks”为对应关系，drawbacks与advantages (优点)意思相反，应表示“缺点”。故选A。 【41题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要论述了在面临重要选择时应该自己做决定，而不是依赖他人，因此“Depend on Yourself for Big Decisions”是最佳标题。故选A。 C In recent years, the word “involution (内卷)” has become very popular. It describes a situation where people have to work or study hard just to stay in the same place or to get a slight advantage (优势). Take students for example. They face serious competition. They not only have to do much homework every day, but also need to take different after-school classes. They always try to get better grades than their classmates. Some students even stay up late to study, without caring about their health. This kind of non-stop competition among students is a typical character of involution. In the workplace, it’s the same story. People have to work longer hours and take on more work. They always want to be better than others. They are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work hard. The pressure makes them feel very tired. This is also an example of involution. Businesses are not immune (免疫的) to it either. Companies (公司) try hard to improve their market share. However, sometimes the products or services they offer are similar, and they are just competing for a small number of customers (顾客). This kind of involution is typical in the business world. Involution has both good and bad sides. On the one hand, it can make people improve their abilities. On the other hand, it may cause people to feel too stressed and lose their love for life. So we should try to find a good way of making the most of its advantages and reducing its disadvantages (减少它的不利之处). 42. How does the writer start the text? A. By giving examples. B. By telling a story. C By explaining a word. D. By showing some reasons. 43. What’s the common result of involution at school and at work? A. People take more breaks. B. People feel more stressed and tired. C. People improve their teamwork skills. D. People become more creative and relaxed. 44. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards involution? A. He thinks people should stop it. B. He advises people to use it well. C. He is not sure about its effect (影响). D. He thinks it’s necessary for development. 45. Which of the following shows the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 【答案】42. C 43. B 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“内卷”这一现象，包括其定义、在不同领域（学生、职场、商业）中的表现、利弊以及作者对待内卷的态度和建议。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In recent years, the word ‘involution (内卷)’ has become very popular. It describes a situation where people have to work or study hard just to stay in the same place or to get a slight advantage (优势).”可知，作者通过解释“内卷”这个词来开始这篇文章。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Take students for example. They face serious competition...Some students even stay up late to study, without caring about their health.”以及“In the workplace, it’s the same story...The pressure makes them feel very tired.”可知，在学校和职场中，内卷的共同结果是人们感到更有压力和疲惫。故选B。 【44题详解】 观点态度题。根据“Involution has both good and bad sides. On the one hand, it can make people improve their abilities. On the other hand, it may cause people to feel too stressed and lose their love for life.

In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the road than there were gas-powered (汽油驱动的) ones. At that time, gas was expensive compared with other energies (能源). Once gas prices dropped and new technologies were developed, electric cars were out of date. During the 20th century, gas-powered cars got bigger, heavier and faster. They needed more fuel (燃料), which led to more air pollution. For years, car makers didn’t worry about pollution. But as oil became less and less available, customers asked the car makers to produce more useful and less polluting cars. One way was a “hybrid” car, one that ran partly on gas and partly on electricity. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s when gas prices rose faster and car makers made the fuel cars more affordable. An all-electric car uses no gas. The problem, though, is that car batteries (电池) need to be recharged. That makes electric cars not so useful for long journeys. The government and car makers are working together to develop safe, inexpensive, and useful electric cars. When people have these cars in the future, gas stations may be a thing of the past. 46. In the early 1900s, there were more ________ on the road than gas-powered ones. A. electric cars B. hybrid cars C. polluting cars D. fuel cars 47. When did gas-powered cars get bigger heavier and faster? A. In the 1800s. B. In the early 1900s. C. During the 20th century. D. In the 2000s. 48. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s because ________. A. gas prices rose faster and they were more affordable B. car makers didn’t worry about pollution C. oil became more and more D. new technologies were developed 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了电动汽车的发展历程。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the road than there were gas-powered ones.”可知，20世纪初，道路上的电动汽车比汽油驱动的汽车多。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“During the 20th century, gas-powered cars got bigger, heavier and faster.”可知，在20世纪，汽油驱动的汽车变得更大、更重、更快。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s when gas prices rose faster and car makers made the fuel cars more affordable.”可知，混合动力汽车在21世纪初流行起来，因为汽油价格上涨更快，而且汽车制造商使燃料汽车更便宜。故选A。 E Will falling parts from a broken rocket (火箭) hit you on the head? In the past, that seemed impossible. However, that is changing. Scientists warn that falling rocket parts could hurt people in the next ten years. Research shows that this is because more countries are sending more rockets into space. Therefore, space is becoming congested (拥挤的). In 2024, there were 259 successful rocket launches (发射). That was a record number. And it is likely that the world will continue to break the record this year. A Canadian study found more than 60% of rockets are left in space after they complete their tasks. These rockets may circle the earth for years before they fall. Scientists found out that rocket parts are more likely to hit the Global South. However, most rockets are launched from the Global North. When rockets fall, their parts often land near poorer countries. Scientists call this“exporting (出口) risk. ”While no one has been hurt yet, the risk of people being hit by falling parts continues to grow. Governments and companies that send rockets into space must act responsibly to protect everyone. 49. Why is space becoming congested? A. Fewer rockets are launched. B. More countries send more rockets into space. C. Rockets are getting bigger. D. Rockets fall to Earth quickly. 50. Where are rocket parts more likely to hit? A. The Global North. B. The Global South. C. Rich countries. D. Rocket launching places. 51. Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A. Rockets fall as soon as they finish their work. B. Most rockets are launched from the Global South. C. Rocket parts are more likely to hit the Global North. D. Rocket parts often fall near poorer countries. 52. What will the writer most probably write about next? A. How to send more rockets into space. B. How to produce a rocket on your own. C. How to take care of rockets left in space. D. How to make rockets land near rich countries. 【答案】49. B 50. B 51. D 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了随着更多火箭发射，太空变得拥挤，火箭部件坠落对地球，特别是对较贫穷国家带来的风险。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Research shows that this is because more countries are sending more rockets into space. Therefore, space is becoming congested.”可知，太空变得拥挤是因为更多国家向太空发射更多火箭。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Scientists found out that rocket parts are more likely to hit the Global South.”可知，火箭部件更可能坠落在全球南方国家。故选B。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When rockets fall, their parts often land near poorer countries.”可知，火箭部件经常坠落在较贫穷国家附近。故选D。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Governments and companies that send rockets into space must act responsibly to protect everyone.”可推知，作者接下来最可能写如何负责任地处理留在太空的火箭，以保护人们的安全。故选C。 F Should friends be different or the same? Different people have different ideas. The following is what four of my classmates say. Susan: I think friends should be similar to me, because the same hobby brings us closer. My best friend Linda and I like travelling very much. We went to Beijing last summer vacation. We stayed there for two weeks. It’s really interesting to travel with her. Mary: I think a good friend should be different from me. It’s cool to try a different life. My best friend Betty is shorter and more outgoing than me. I am quiet and I like reading very much. Betty likes sports, and she plays ping-pong well. Now we often play ping-pong together after reading in the library. Peter: I think friends should be like me. It can be very helpful. My best friend is Rick. Sometimes I don’t know what to do with my problems, and he can tell me what I should do, because he knows me better than other people. Bill: I don’t really care whether my friends are the same as me or not. I think it is important to have both kinds of friends. That makes my life more interesting. 53 How long did Susan and Linda stay in Beijing? (不超过5个词) ______________________________ 54. What do Mary and Betty often do after reading in the library?

Great White Sharks (大白鲨) The great white sharks are famous for their size and their sharp teeth. These allow them to catch more food, like fish. People call them the king of the sea. They are white and black. The adult (成年的) sharks can be 4~5.2 m and 680~1,100 kg. Polar Bears (北极熊) The adult polar bears can be 350~700 kg. They are all white and full of thick fur (厚厚的皮毛). Their fur can protect them from water. Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time in the sea. Poison Dart Frogs (箭毒蛙) Poison dart frogs live in South America. They often have beautiful colours. Most of them are small, sometimes less than 1.5 cm. A poison dart frog has enough poison to stop the heart of a large animal from beating. The poison is on their skin (皮肤), so don’t touch them. 36. What are the great white sharks famous for? A. Their big eyes. B. Their living places. C. Their size and sharp teeth. D. Their beautiful colours. 37. The adult polar bears can be around ________. A. 400kg B. 900kg C. 1,000kg D. 1,100kg 38. Where can you probably find the text? A. In a history book. B. In a science magazine. C. In a storybook. D. In a fashion magazine. B People must meet all kinds of problems throughout their lives. We always have to make certain choices. But sometimes, the right choice can be difficult to make. So it is natural that people may ask their family and friends for help. But I think the most important decisions should be made on your own. Normally, people would usually consider a certain choice by considering how much it can be helpful for them. In fact, it is natural, too. Most of the time, they’re choosing for themselves, not for anyone else. So if we ask others for help, we may be led sideways (偏地) by those who think differently. Second, when people ask others for advice, they will probably hear many different ideas. What others see as being necessary may not be equally important to the person who needs help. It is because different people have different thoughts. This could result in a difficult situation where someone might feel confused (困惑的). On the contrary (相反), if a person considers a problem on his or her own, he or she can stay peaceful and think about the advantages and drawbacks of each decision. We know ourselves better than anyone else, after all. If we choose on our own, the final choice will probably be reasonable. I think trying to make choices on one’s own is better than depending on others. 39. When people meet problems, it is very ________ for them to ask for help. A. impossible B. simple C. natural D. important 40. The underlined word “drawbacks” means ________. A. 缺点 B. 困难 C. 选择 D. 兴趣 41. What is the best title for this text? A. Depend on Yourself for Big Decisions B. Advantages and Drawbacks of Each Decision C. The Different Thoughts of Different People D. Don’t Depend on Your Parents or Others C In recent years, the word “involution (内卷)” has become very popular. It describes a situation where people have to work or study hard just to stay in the same place or to get a slight advantage (优势). Take students for example. They face serious competition. They not only have to do much homework every day, but also need to take different after-school classes. They always try to get better grades than their classmates. Some students even stay up late to study, without caring about their health. This kind of non-stop competition among students is a typical character of involution. In the workplace, it’s the same story. People have to work longer hours and take on more work. They always want to be better than others. They are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work hard. The pressure makes them feel very tired. This is also an example of involution. Businesses are not immune (免疫的) to it either. Companies (公司) try hard to improve their market share. However, sometimes the products or services they offer are similar, and they are just competing for a small number of customers (顾客). This kind of involution is typical in the business world. Involution has both good and bad sides. On the one hand, it can make people improve their abilities. On the other hand, it may cause people to feel too stressed and lose their love for life. So we should try to find a good way of making the most of its advantages and reducing its disadvantages (减少它的不利之处). 42. How does the writer start the text? A. By giving examples. B. By telling a story. C. By explaining a word. D. By showing some reasons. 43. What’s the common result of involution at school and at work? A. People take more breaks. B. People feel more stressed and tired. C. People improve their teamwork skills. D. People become more creative and relaxed. 44. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards involution? A. He thinks people should stop it. B. He advises people to use it well. C. He is not sure about its effect (影响). D. He thinks it’s necessary for development. 45. Which of the following shows the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. D Electric cars may seem like recent inventions, but actually, they have been around for years. In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the road than there were gas-powered (汽油驱动的) ones. At that time, gas was expensive compared with other energies (能源). Once gas prices dropped and new technologies were developed, electric cars were out of date. During the 20th century, gas-powered cars got bigger, heavier and faster. They needed more fuel (燃料), which led to more air pollution. For years, car makers didn’t worry about pollution. But as oil became less and less available, customers asked the car makers to produce more useful and less polluting cars. One way was a “hybrid” car, one that ran partly on gas and partly on electricity. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s when gas prices rose faster and car makers made the fuel cars more affordable. An all-electric car uses no gas. The problem though, is that car batteries (电池) need to be recharged. That makes electric cars not so useful for long journeys. The government and car makers are working together to develop safe, inexpensive, and useful electric cars. When people have these cars in the future, gas stations may be a thing of the past. 46. In the early 1900s, there were more ________ on the road than gas-powered ones. A. electric cars B. hybrid cars C. polluting cars D. fuel cars 47. When did gas-powered cars get bigger, heavier and faster? A. In the 1800s. B. In the early 1900s. C. During the 20th century. D. In the 2000s. 48. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s because ________. A. gas prices rose faster and they were more affordable B. car makers didn’t worry about pollution C. oil became more and more D. new technologies were developed E Will falling parts from a broken rocket (火箭) hit you on the head? In the past, that seemed impossible. However, that is changing. Scientists warn that falling rocket parts could hurt people in the next ten years. Research shows that this is because more countries are sending more rockets into space. Therefore, space is becoming congested (拥挤的). In 2024, there were 259 successful rocket launches (发射). That was a record number. And it is likely that the world will continue to break the record this year. A Canadian study found more than 60% of rockets are left in space after they complete their tasks. These rockets may circle the earth for years before they fall. Scientists found out that rocket parts are more likely to hit the Global South. However, most rockets are launched from the Global North. When rockets fall, their parts often land near poorer countries. Scientists call this“exporting (出口) risk. ”While no one has been hurt yet, the risk of people being hit by falling parts continues to grow. Governments and companies that send rockets into space must act responsibly to protect everyone. 49. Why is space becoming congested? A. Fewer rockets are launched. B. More countries send more rockets into space. C. Rockets are getting bigger. D. Rockets fall to Earth quickly. 50. Where are rocket parts more likely to hit? A. The Global North. B. The Global South.

Different people have different ideas. The following is what four of my classmates say. Susan: I think friends should be similar to me, because the same hobby brings us closer. My best friend Linda and I like travelling very much. We went to Beijing last summer vacation. We stayed there for two weeks. It’s really interesting to travel with her. Mary: I think a good friend should be different from me. It’s cool to try a different life. My best friend Betty is shorter and more outgoing than me. I am quiet and I like reading very much. Betty likes sports, and she plays ping-pong well. Now we often play ping-pong together after reading in the library. Peter: I think friends should be like me. It can be very helpful. My best friend is Rick. Sometimes I don’t know what to do with my problems, and he can tell me what I should do, because he knows me better than other people. Bill: I don’t really care whether my friends are the same as me or not. I think it is important to have both kinds of friends.
