Passage 2 Changzhou, a city in Jiangsu Province, has a new rule for both parents and children. Parents need to make sure their children do about two hours of housework every week. This rule becomes a big hit online (在网络上引起轰动). There are many different ideas about the new rule. Some people think it is good, but others don’t think so. Wang Xing is a high school student in Changzhou. “I want to help my parents with the housework, but I don’t have time to do so,” he says. “I just have a few hours to relax every weekend, so doing housework is not in my to-do list.” He also says that most of his classmates don’t do housework, either. Xiong Bingqi, an expert (专家), says, “To make sure the new rule works well, parents need to help their children learn about some skills and join them to do the housework.” “Many parents only focus on children’s grades (成绩) and don’t teach them important life skills,” Xiong says. “Doing housework can help keep children healthy. It can also make their brains (大脑) work better.” 1．According to the new rule, how many hours of housework should children do? A．One hour a day. B．Two hours a week. C．Three hours a week. D．Four hours a month. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The new rule. B．A different idea. C．Doing housework.

A．Learning about the rules. B．Getting good grades. C．Having free time activities. D．Doing housework. Passage 3 Labor classes at school can help students be active, creative (有创造力的) and happy in life. At the same time, students can learn the meaning of labor. From last September, all students in middle school can have at least one labor class a week. There are many interesting labor classes now. Students from a school in Chongqing had a class about catching fish in the river and learning about their habits. In Shanxi Province, students made tofu with beans. They also cooked it by themselves. The labor classes made them feel happy when they cooked delicious meals. Some students also kept small animals at home like chickens. This helped students learn how to care for living things and also made them more interested in biology. According to the new policy (政策), middle school students need to learn the following skills in labor classes: Clean their rooms and classrooms, pick proper (合适的) clothes for travel, cook three or four meals, and take part in labor activities such as planting or fishing. A study shows that doing labor work is good for students. The students can get more self-control, do better in school, and feel happier from it. Labor classes not only teach them important skills but also are a great way to relax during a busy school day. So which kind of labor skill do you want to learn most? 1．How many labor classes do students in middle school have a week now? A．Zero. B．One or more. C．At least two.

Here are some ways to deal with it. First, doing sports like running, swimming or playing basketball can help. It makes us relaxed and strong. For example, my friend Lily was always stressed because of too much schoolwork. She joined the school’s running club. After some time, she felt much better and did better in exams. An education expert says that doing sports can make us feel better. It helps us forget the stress. Listening to music is a nice way. It can relax our minds. We can talk with friends and family, too. We can share our troubles and they can give us good ideas. A psychology (心理) expert thinks that taking breaks (休息) and doing hobbies like reading or watching movies are helpful. Remember, it’s important to have a balance (平衡) between study and rest. Then we can be less stressed and do better at school. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．Ways to study better. B．How to make friends. C．Ways to relieve study stress. D．Different hobbies. 2．Why did Lily join the running club? A．Because she liked running. B．Because she wanted to win a race.

Passage 2 Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing. We can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may result in health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough. Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk. Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ? Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class. Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.” 1．How does the writer lead in the topic in paragraph 1? A．By listing numbers.

A． B． C． D． Passage 3 We spend most of our time with friends we like. What kind of people are welcomed by others, then? There are people that can always attract (吸引) you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn from them. Firstly, everybody wants to be happy and nobody wants to spend their time with an unhappy person. If you are with a happy person, you are more likely to be happy, too. This is what we call mood linkage (心境联结). So if you are a happy person, many people are willing to spend their time with you. Next, everybody needs someone to encourage them, because sometimes in our lives we meet some bad things. So if you always choose to cheer others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be glad to spend time with you. Lastly, you are not a true friend if you don’t give a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful. One day when you need help, they will be there for you, too. It feels good if people around you want to be your friends. So if you want to attract people and make more friends, just have a try. You will also enjoy being a better person. 1．What can be an example of “mood linkage” according to the passage? A．You may feel sad when you are with sad people.

I had to take a busy road with a lot of curves （弯道）. I was turning around a curve when I saw a car in front of me suddenly turn right. It caused other drivers and me to（猛踩）their brakes to stop.

The house seemed so huge to me as a child. And it had a lovely living room with a piano in it. And there was a strange room. It was the drawing room. We only used it on Sundays, or when visitors came for tea. There was the best furniture in it but it was covered with sheets—it was as if all the furniture wore clothes. We couldn’t enjoy this beautiful furniture. I went back to the house a few weeks ago. It has changed a lot. My uncle has modernized (使……现代化) it inside, and taken away the lovely furniture.

In fact, he has many problems. His father is doing a bad job raising him, but that’s because Dad has a problem of his own: he cannot get over the death of his wife. Bastian’s life at school is troubled too. The other kids pick on him, leading him to skip school a lot. It doesn’t sound like a fantasy story so far, does it? Fantasy is supposed to take us away from the unpleasantness of life, not rub our noses in it. But this is just where the fantasy begins. One day, running away from bullies at school, Bastian hides in a bookshop. There he finds a book that appeals to him, and he steals it and takes it home. Bastian becomes immersed in the book. It drags him in, just as we are dragged into fantasy books. The book he reads, like the book we read, is called The Neverending Story. The story spellbinds Bastian. It tells of a land called Fantastica. Fantastica is sick, and the person most sick is its ruler, The Childlike Empress. The reason for the sickness is a kind of war that is being waged on Fantastica by a force called Nothing. The Empress asks a boy, Atreyu, to help her battle Nothing before it conquers Fantastica. But what of Bastian, sitting hidden away, reading the story from his stolen book? He becomes part of the tale himself. The Empress gives Bastian a vital job: to join forces with Atreyu in the struggle against Nothing. Now this book, which began as the story of a lonely, bullied, unhappy boy, really becomes a fantasy. But even though Bastian has now entered the pages of a fantasy fiction book, he has brought his troubles with him. He has problems dealing with the challenges brought by his new life. When The Childlike Empress gives him a magic gem called Auryn, he abuses it for selfish ends. Once Bastian finds his true self, he can help the Empress, Atreyu and Fantastica and make his way back into the real world. Like Bastian, we can find ways to solve our troubles with enough commitment. In The Neverending Story, young readers can find a wonderful fantasy that also offers a positive message about their own world.

When the rich man came back, he couldn’t find his food and his wine. He became very angry. He woke the servant up. But the servant told his story very well. He said a cat had eaten up everything.

Music can bring lots of other benefits (好处) to children. Music is simply a fun activity that makes little ones feel good. They are not as shy or afraid as adults (成年人) might be when they sing. They relax, sing and move freely, which really makes them happy. Music is also a wonderful way for children to express themselves. Through musical activities, children can tell how they feel and their ideas without being afraid. They can turn their feelings into dancing to music, and put their ideas down in the form of songs that they can sing. When music is in children’s lives, their memory (记忆力) becomes better. It’s clear to all of us that we remember things faster, better and for a longer time by singing them out than just reading them again and again.

It is the most popular of the huqin family. In the Song Dynasty (宋朝), musicians began to use this type of huqin to play different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important instrument in different folk music. Now it is used in both traditional and modern music. The erhu used to be mainly played by common people. Though the playing skills were passed down, there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development (发展) of the erhu, historians usually turn to old paintings, sculptures and murals (雕塑和壁画). The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves in Gansu Province. Because of so many people’s hard work, the erhu becomes more and more popular around the world. In fact, we can hear the sound of the erhu in many famous movies, such as Kungfu Panda in 2012 and Up in the Air in 2023.

Every year, they travel from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back—this is the longest migration of any animal on Earth. The round trip can be over 70,000 kilometers!​ Why do they make such a long journey? In summer, the Arctic is full of daylight, and there are plenty of insects for them to eat. They lay their eggs there. When winter comes, the Arctic gets dark and cold, so the terns fly south to the Antarctic, where it is summer and food is still easy to find.​ The journey is not easy. They must fly over oceans and deserts, facing strong winds and hungry predators. But Arctic terns are smart. They follow the sun and stars to find their way. They also fly in groups to stay safe.​ Scientists are amazed by these birds. Their bodies are built for long flights—they have strong wings and light bones. Even young terns can make the journey without their parents guiding them. This amazing ability has helped them survive for millions of years.​ 1．How long is the round-trip migration of Arctic terns?​ A．Over 7,000 kilometers.​ B．Over 70,000 kilometers.​ C．Over 700,000 kilometers.​ D．Over 17,000 kilometers.​ 2．The underlined word “predators” in Paragraph 3 means ________ in Chinese.​ A．伙伴 B．天敌 C．同类 D．向导​ 3．Why do Arctic terns fly to the Arctic in summer?​ A．To avoid the hot weather.​ B．To find dark places to rest.​ C．To lay eggs and find food.​ D．To learn to fly long distances.​ 4．How do Arctic terns find their way during the journey?​ A．By following other birds’ sounds.​ B．By using the sun and stars.​ C．By remembering the mountains.​ D．By smelling the ocean winds.​ 5．What can we infer from the passage?​ A．Arctic terns are the largest birds in the world.​ B．Young Arctic terns need their parents to guide them.​ C．Arctic terns’ bodies are well-suited for long flights.​ D．The journey from the Arctic to the Antarctic is getting shorter.

Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend into the grass, making them look like part of the landscape. Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger. These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping. This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife. 1．What do we know about plains wanderers? A．Males are larger than females. B．They are easy to find in grasslands. C．Mother birds are bigger and protect babies. D．They are common in many habitats. 2．The underlined word “monitor” in the last paragraph probably means “________”. A．see B．catch C．feed D．follow 3．How do scientists use AI to find plains wanderers?

A．Why plains wanderers are rare. B．How mother wanderers protect their chicks. C．What AI can do in daily life. D．How scientists use AI to protect plains wanderers. 话题6 休闲活动与经历 Passage 1 It was a summer, but what a summer. I once had my own vegetable garden. It was my first and my last since I could never get to the country place often enough to keep my eye on it. Anyway, the second summer, the bugs found us and ate my arugula (芝麻菜). I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped. But the first season was pure heaven. I still remember sitting in that garden, the fresh air on my face, the silence pouring into my ears. Sometimes I would sing, quietly at first and then louder, which brought a small herd of curious cows trotting (小跑) my way to hang their huge heads over the wire fence 20 feet away, staring at me. Mostly I was sitting down, picking green beans, boiling them, slapping (拍) on a little butter and salt and eating them without anything else. And wanting to sing opera again because they were so good. I dug below the potato plants, stole a few baby potatoes from each plant, and boiled them too. Just butter and salt. So good. There was too much food in the late summer. My relatives refused to accept any because they had received a lot from others. The neighbours all grew the same thing I did, so they didn’t need any, and when I took it back to the city, no friends wanted it. They spent their summer weekends in the country and had their own gardens. I never had another garden after that first one. There was a time when I thought life was too short for all my dreams. The choices were too many, and my heart ached that anything had to end or that I had to choose between one thing and another. How could I live on a farm and also travel around the world? It seemed that life fully enjoyed could only be full of loss. Nevertheless, nothing was lost. These memories are a permanent (永恒的) part of me. I often relive that one wonderful summer and my amazing vegetable garden as I did while writing about it for you tonight. Little by little, the truth became okay with me: someone who loves many things can’t make all of them permanent. You have to walk away from one thing so you can have another. Still, I never expected total absence (缺乏) of sense of loss. And then I got it. That one summer with my fresh, delicious veggies, all that time to sit on the ground for hours and the unexpected company of cows that loved opera had filled a space in my life that had always been empty before that. But never has it been empty again. 1．Why did the author stop to plant a veggie garden? A．She couldn’t afford time or energy for the garden. B．She was tired of too much farm work. C．She had no interest in gardening. D．She was afraid of bugs. 2．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the 4th paragraph? A．To attract people to her garden. B．To show her wonderful cooking skills. C．To emphasize the freshness of the food. D．To introduce how to cook beans and potatoes well. 3．The author failed to share her veggies because of the following reasons EXCEPT ________. A．her friends also had gardens B．her neighbours grew the same thing C．her relatives received many from others D．her garden couldn’t produce enough veggies 4．Which of the following is the closest to the underlined sentence? A．People may not feel lost. B．It’s sure for people to feel lost in some way. C．Having no sense makes people feel lost. D．Expecting too much makes people lose all. 5．Which of the following is the most proper title for the passage? A．What a productive summer B．Own a garden, never feel empty C．Plant a garden, get enough food D．Wonderful memories, a permanent part of us Passage 2 High temperature in summer drives so many Chinese people to cooler places around the world.

Staying away from the hot summer is the main reason for traveling overseas (在海外), according to a report by China Tourism Academy (中国旅游研究院). Many tourists choose to visit Brazil and Argentina in summer to feel their wonderful football cultures and experience the mystery (神秘) of South America. 1．Why do the Chinese tourists travel to the south of the earth in summer?

It’s a world-famous country for hiking. But when is the best time to visit Nepal? Nepal has really unusual geography! The tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Qomolangma, is partly in the north of Nepal. On the other hand, the Terai Plain is the lowest part, only about 70 meters above the sea level (海平面以上). Because of this special shape of the land, Nepal has five different seasons: autumn, winter, spring, summer, and the monsoon (雨季). The autumn months of October and November are considered the perfect time to travel to Nepal. During this time, you can see bluer and clearer skies. You can also join Dashain Festival (德赛节), a 15-day-long festival and the most colorful festival in Nepal. The temperature begins to drop in December and January. Winter is perfect for visiting the Chitwan National Park in the south of Nepal. You can get the best chance to see rhinos (犀牛) as well as tigers and elephants in the wild of Nepal’s forest. During the springtime, from February to April, temperatures slowly go up. The days are longer and are perfect for hiking tours. You can also experience some popular festivals like the Nepalese New Year in April. May pushes the temperature a bit higher. However, the real summer is quickly cut short by the beginning of the monsoon season. The monsoon brings rain showers from mid-June to September.

We can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may result in health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough. Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk. Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ? Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class. Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.” 1．How does the writer lead in the topic in paragraph 1? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question. D．By making a comparison. 2．Paragraph 3 is written to ________. A．introduce Lindsay B．show Dr. Huge’s success C．support (支撑) Dr. Hugh’s idea D．catch (吸引) readers’ interest 3．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．Why do I get my answers right B．Who can I ask for advice C．When should I solve the problem D．What difficulties will I face 4．The underlined words “his method” in paragraph 5 refers to ________. A．visiting Dr. Hugh more often B．using positive self-talk C．getting higher points in exams D．thinking about all the mistakes 5．What’s the structure of the passage? (①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2, ...) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．A 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了负面自我对话对学生成绩和自信心的影响，并通过Lindsay的故事展示了通过积极自我对话来提高成绩和恢复自信的方法。 1．推理判断题。根据“Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing.”及“However, too much of it may result in health problems.”可推断，作者通过比较的方式进入第1段的主题。故选D。 2．推理判断题。第三段主要介绍了Lindsay的情况，她虽然平时学习努力，但考试成绩不佳，原因是紧张和不自信，这正好支持了第二段中提到的“负面自我对话”和负面自我对话对学生成绩的影响，即Dr. Hugh的观点。因此，第三段的目的是支持Dr. Hugh的观点。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions.”可知，Dr. Hugh把Lindsay消极的自言自语变成了积极的问题。而前文提到“During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam?”都是积极的自我对话，所以空格处也应是积极的自我提问。选项A“为什么我的答案是正确的”符合这一要求。故选A。 4．词义猜测题。根据“Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions.”、“Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an ‘A’ on the final exam in Hugh’s class.”及“He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life.”可知，Dr. Hugh的方法帮助学生提高了成绩，并鼓励他的朋友和邻居在生活中逐渐摆脱负面自我对话。因此，“his method”指的是通过积极自我对话。故选B。 5．篇章结构题。第一段首先提出负面自我对话的问题，第二、三、四、五段通过Lindsay的故事来支持这一观点，并展示积极自我对话的效果，因此，文章的结构是“总—分”的结构。故选A。 Passage 3 We spend most of our time with friends we like. What kind of people are welcomed by others, then? There are people that can always attract (吸引) you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn from them. Firstly, everybody wants to be happy and nobody wants to spend their time with an unhappy person. If you are with a happy person, you are more likely to be happy, too. This is what we call mood linkage (心境联结). So if you are a happy person, many people are willing to spend their time with you. Next, everybody needs someone to encourage them, because sometimes in our lives we meet some bad things. So if you always choose to cheer others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be glad to spend time with you. Lastly, you are not a true friend if you don’t give a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful. One day when you need help, they will be there for you, too. It feels good if people around you want to be your friends. So if you want to attract people and make more friends, just have a try. You will also enjoy being a better person. 1．What can be an example of “mood linkage” according to the passage? A．You may feel sad when you are with sad people. B．You will be happy to see someone lose his games. C．You will laugh loudly when you hear funny stories. D．You would like to help someone when you’re happy. 2．What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Your parents. B．Your friends. C．People who attract you.

In fact, he has many problems. His father is doing a bad job raising him, but that’s because Dad has a problem of his own: he cannot get over the death of his wife. Bastian’s life at school is troubled too. The other kids pick on him, leading him to skip school a lot. It doesn’t sound like a fantasy story so far, does it? Fantasy is supposed to take us away from the unpleasantness of life, not rub our noses in it. But this is just where the fantasy begins. One day, running away from bullies at school, Bastian hides in a bookshop. There he finds a book that appeals to him, and he steals it and takes it home. Bastian becomes immersed in the book. It drags him in, just as we are dragged into fantasy books. The book he reads, like the book we read, is called The Neverending Story. The story spellbinds Bastian. It tells of a land called Fantastica. Fantastica is sick, and the person most sick is its ruler, The Childlike Empress. The reason for the sickness is a kind of war that is being waged on Fantastica by a force called Nothing. The Empress asks a boy, Atreyu, to help her battle Nothing before it conquers Fantastica. But what of Bastian, sitting hidden away, reading the story from his stolen book? He becomes part of the tale himself. The Empress gives Bastian a vital job: to join forces with Atreyu in the struggle against Nothing. Now this book, which began as the story of a lonely, bullied, unhappy boy, really becomes a fantasy. But even though Bastian has now entered the pages of a fantasy fiction book, he has brought his troubles with him. He has problems dealing with the challenges brought by his new life. When The Childlike Empress gives him a magic gem called Auryn, he abuses it for selfish ends. Once Bastian finds his true self, he can help the Empress, Atreyu and Fantastica and make his way back into the real world. Like Bastian, we can find ways to solve our troubles with enough commitment. In The Neverending Story, young readers can find a wonderful fantasy that also offers a positive message about their own world.

Every year, they travel from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back—this is the longest migration of any animal on Earth. The round trip can be over 70,000 kilometers!​ Why do they make such a long journey? In summer, the Arctic is full of daylight, and there are plenty of insects for them to eat. They lay their eggs there. When winter comes, the Arctic gets dark and cold, so the terns fly south to the Antarctic, where it is summer and food is still easy to find.​ The journey is not easy. They must fly over oceans and deserts, facing strong winds and hungry predators. But Arctic terns are smart. They follow the sun and stars to find their way.

Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend into the grass, making them look like part of the landscape. Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger. These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping. This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife. 1．What do we know about plains wanderers? A．Males are larger than females. B．They are easy to find in grasslands. C．Mother birds are bigger and protect babies. D．They are common in many habitats. 2．The underlined word “monitor” in the last paragraph probably means “________”. A．see B．catch C．feed D．follow 3．How do scientists use AI to find plains wanderers? A．By taking photos of their nests. B．By tracking their flying paths. C．By counting eggs in the grass. D．By analyzing calls from mother birds. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Why plains wanderers are rare. B．How mother wanderers protect their chicks. C．What AI can do in daily life. D．How scientists use AI to protect plains wanderers. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．D 【语篇导读】本文介绍了濒危鸟类平原流浪鸟的独特习性及科学家利用AI技术保护该物种的创新方法。 1．细节理解题。根据“female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males.”及“Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals”可知，母鸟体型较大，并会保护幼鸟，故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them”“We can find the most important areas for them”“Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds”可知，AI可以帮助人们监控到这些鸟的一些情况，所以划线单词与follow词义最相近，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger.

I once had my own vegetable garden. It was my first and my last since I could never get to the country place often enough to keep my eye on it. Anyway, the second summer, the bugs found us and ate my arugula (芝麻菜). I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped. But the first season was pure heaven. I still remember sitting in that garden, the fresh air on my face, the silence pouring into my ears. Sometimes I would sing, quietly at first and then louder, which brought a small herd of curious cows trotting (小跑) my way to hang their huge heads over the wire fence 20 feet away, staring at me. Mostly I was sitting down, picking green beans, boiling them, slapping (拍) on a little butter and salt and eating them without anything else. And wanting to sing opera again because they were so good. I dug below the potato plants, stole a few baby potatoes from each plant, and boiled them too. Just butter and salt. So good. There was too much food in the late summer. My relatives refused to accept any because they had received a lot from others. The neighbours all grew the same thing I did, so they didn’t need any, and when I took it back to the city, no friends wanted it. They spent their summer weekends in the country and had their own gardens. I never had another garden after that first one. There was a time when I thought life was too short for all my dreams. The choices were too many, and my heart ached that anything had to end or that I had to choose between one thing and another. How could I live on a farm and also travel around the world? It seemed that life fully enjoyed could only be full of loss. Nevertheless, nothing was lost. These memories are a permanent (永恒的) part of me. I often relive that one wonderful summer and my amazing vegetable garden as I did while writing about it for you tonight. Little by little, the truth became okay with me: someone who loves many things can’t make all of them permanent. You have to walk away from one thing so you can have another. Still, I never expected total absence (缺乏) of sense of loss. And then I got it. That one summer with my fresh, delicious veggies, all that time to sit on the ground for hours and the unexpected company of cows that loved opera had filled a space in my life that had always been empty before that. But never has it been empty again. 1．Why did the author stop to plant a veggie garden? A．She couldn’t afford time or energy for the garden. B．She was tired of too much farm work. C．She had no interest in gardening. D．She was afraid of bugs. 2．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the 4th paragraph? A．To attract people to her garden. B．To show her wonderful cooking skills.

A．her friends also had gardens B．her neighbours grew the same thing C．her relatives received many from others D．her garden couldn’t produce enough veggies 4．Which of the following is the closest to the underlined sentence? A．People may not feel lost. B．It’s sure for people to feel lost in some way. C．Having no sense makes people feel lost. D．Expecting too much makes people lose all. 5．Which of the following is the most proper title for the passage? A．What a productive summer B．Own a garden, never feel empty C．Plant a garden, get enough food D．Wonderful memories, a permanent part of us 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．D 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在夏天种植蔬菜园的经历和感悟。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped.”可知菜园需要的照料超过我所能给的，所以我放弃了。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Mostly I was sitting down, picking green beans...and boiled them too. ”可知作者写第四段的目的是为了强调食物的新鲜度。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“My relatives refused to accept any because they had received a lot from others.”，“The neighbours all grew the same thing I did, so they didn’t need any.”以及“They spent their summer weekends in the country and had their own gardens.”可知亲戚们收到了其他人给予的蔬菜，邻居们也种了一样的蔬菜，并且朋友们也有了自己的菜园。文中列出了三个作者未能分享她自己的蔬菜的原因。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线句子可知，不过我从未期望完全不会有失落感。选项B“人们难免会感到失落。”与选项B意思最接近。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述的是作者在夏天种植蔬菜园的经历。根据第七段“These memories are a permanent part of me. ”，最后一段“But never has it been empty again.”可知作者内心已被美好的回忆永久填满，也将不再空虚。选项D“美好的回忆，是我们永恒的一部分”，符合主题。故选D。 Passage 2 High temperature in summer drives so many Chinese people to cooler places around the world.

It’s a world-famous country for hiking. But when is the best time to visit Nepal? Nepal has really unusual geography! The tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Qomolangma, is partly in the north of Nepal. On the other hand, the Terai Plain is the lowest part, only about 70 meters above the sea level (海平面以上). Because of this special shape of the land, Nepal has five different seasons: autumn, winter, spring, summer, and the monsoon (雨季). The autumn months of October and November are considered the perfect time to travel to Nepal. During this time, you can see bluer and clearer skies. You can also join Dashain Festival (德赛节), a 15-day-long festival and the most colorful festival in Nepal. The temperature begins to drop in December and January. Winter is perfect for visiting the Chitwan National Park in the south of Nepal. You can get the best chance to see rhinos (犀牛) as well as tigers and elephants in the wild of Nepal’s forest. During the springtime, from February to April, temperatures slowly go up. The days are longer and are perfect for hiking tours. You can also experience some popular festivals like the Nepalese New Year in April. May pushes the temperature a bit higher. However, the real summer is quickly cut short by the beginning of the monsoon season. The monsoon brings rain showers from mid-June to September. You can expect around 3 to 4 hours of rain every day during this season. 1. What does the underlined word “lowest” mean in Chinese? A. 最低的 B. 最潮的 C. 最崎岖的 D. 最平坦的 2. Why does Nepal have five seasons? A. Because of the snow-capped Himalayas. B. Because of its unusual geography. C. Because of the height of Mt. Qomolangma. D. Because of the sea level of the country. 3.
