It was the third time she had torn out a page, crumpled it, and thrown it into the overflowing waste basket. Why is this so hard? She thought, glancing at the calendar circled in red: May 10th—Mother’s Day. Her relationship with Mom had always been... complicated. Mom was a doctor who worked late shifts, often leaving before dawn and returning when Clara was already asleep. Their conversations were limited to brief notes on the fridge: “Dinner in the microwave” or “Math test tomorrow—study!” Clara had grown used to the silence, but this year, she wanted to break it. The notebook was meant to be a gift—a collection of memories they had never shared. On the first page, she wrote: “To Mom, who saves lives but forgot mine.” Instantly guilt (内疚) washed over her. She ripped it out. That night, Clara found an old photo album in the attic. Flipping through it, she paused at a picture of Mom holding her as a baby, smiling in a way Clara had never seen. Behind the photo was a folded letter in Mom’s handwriting: “Clara turned I today. I missed her first steps because of an emergency surgery. How do I tell her I love her more than anything?” Tears blurred the words. Underneath the album lay a small box labeled “Clara’s Art–Age 5 to 12”. Inside were every doodle and painting Clara had thrown away over the years, carefully preserved. On Mother’s Day morning, Clara placed the notebook on Mom’s pillow. This time, the first page read: “To Mom, who loved me even when I didn’t see it.” 26．Why did Clara feel guilty after writing “To Mom, who saves lives but forgot mine”? A．She realized her mom kept her childhood art. B．She discovered her mom’s old photo album. C．She regretted misunderstanding her mom. D．She forgot to prepare a Mother’s Day gift. 27．What does the word “preserved” mean in the context of the story? A．Thrown away. B．Hidden carefully. C．Saved and protected. D．Bought recently. 28．What is the best title for the story? A．The Busy Doctor B．A Mother’s Secret C．The Forgotten Birthday D．Love in Silent Pages 【答案】26．C 27．C 28．D 【导语】本文讲述了Clara与母亲之间复杂的情感关系。 26．细节理解题。根据“Instantly guilt (内疚) washed over her. She ripped it out.”和“Behind the photo was a folded letter in Mom’s handwriting: ‘Clara turned I today… How do I tell her I love her more than anything?’”可知，Clara因误解母亲的爱而感到内疚。故选C。 27．词义猜测题。根据“Inside were every doodle and painting Clara had thrown away over the years, carefully preserved”可知，母亲将Clara丢弃的涂鸦和画作都保存了下来，因此“preserved”意为“保存和保护”。故选C。 28．最佳标题题。全文围绕Clara通过发现母亲珍藏的旧物逐渐理解母亲沉默的爱，最终以笔记本作为情感纽带传递心意展开，强调“无声的爱的表达”。故选D。 C Chinese shadow puppetry (皮影戏) is a form of traditional Chinese folk drama. It is probably one of the most ancient arts using light and shadow. It is also a mix of many art forms, including painting, music, opera and story-telling. Shadow puppetry was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) List in 2011. More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wu of Han was very sad about the death of his wife. One day, one of his men happened to see some children playing with toys. The shadows of the toys were lively on the floor. Then he had an idea—he made a puppet (偶) of the emperor’s wife. As night fell, he invited the emperor to watch a puppet show. This is believed to be the start of shadow puppetry. In the Tang Dynasty, shadow puppetry was played by many people in many places around the country. Then in the Yuan Dynasty, it was introduced into West Asian and European countries along the Silk Road. The art form became the most popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was played in almost every province (省) and in many kinds of celebrations like weddings and birthday dinners. It is not an easy job to make the puppets. Their body parts are cut separately and then joined together so that they can move freely. During the show, puppetry artists connect the puppets’ most important joints (关节) with sticks. In this way, they can hold the puppets and make the puppets walk, run or dance as they want. Sometimes the puppets could be as lively as living things on the screen. In fact, most puppetry artists across China don’t get trained and don’t play shadow puppetry as a job. They just play it for fun and love. However, they are still experts (专家) in this field. In recent years, puppetry artists have explored ways to make this ancient art form as popular as it used to be and pass it on to the young, hoping more people can understand its importance and feel its beauty. They also get support from the Chinese government. Thanks to their hard work, Chinese shadow puppetry is becoming great again. 29．According to the passage, when was Chinese shadow puppetry added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List? A．2,000 years ago. B．During the Tang Dynasty. C．In 2011. D．In the Qing Dynasty. 30．Why might shadow puppetry have become the most popular during the Qing Dynasty? A．Puppets were easier to make at that time. B．It was played in almost every province and for kinds of celebrations. C．The government stopped other forms of art. D．Artists began using modern tools to create puppets. 31．Which statement is TRUE about making shadow puppets? A．Puppets’ body parts are made as a single piece. B．Artists use ropes to control the puppets’ joints. C．Sticks are only used to hold the puppets, not to control their movements. D．Puppets can move freely because their parts are joined together. 32．What can we infer about most puppetry artists in China today? A．They perform puppetry mainly out of love and personal interest. B．They depend on puppetry as their main job. C．They are all completely trained experts. D．They refuse to modernize (使现代化) the art form. 【答案】29．C 30．B 31．D 32．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国皮影戏的历史、发展、制作过程以及现代艺术家们的努力。 29．细节理解题。根据“Shadow puppetry was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) List in 2011.”可知，中国皮影戏于2011年被列入联合国教科文组织的非物质文化遗产名录。故选C。 30．细节理解题。根据“At that time, it was played in almost every province (省) and in many kinds of celebrations like weddings and birthday dinners.”可知，清朝时期皮影戏几乎在每个省都有演出，并且用于各种庆祝活动，因此它在清朝最为流行。故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据“Their body parts are cut separately and then joined together so that they can move freely.”可知，皮影的身体部分是分开切割然后连接在一起的，因此它们可以自由移动。故选D。 32．推理判断题。根据“In fact, most puppetry artists across China don’t get trained and don’t play shadow puppetry as a job. They just play it for fun and love.”可知，大多数皮影戏艺术家并不是以此为职业，而是出于兴趣和热爱。故选A。 D Think about the last time you went to an art or history museum. Which pieces of artifacts (文物) stood out to you? Did you read the introduction next to them? Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them? Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule. You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum, or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum. Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts. The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years. Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally (道义上) the right thing to do. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland. Yet there are different voices. Those against the return point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago. Also, it is sometimes hard to identify (确认) the true owners of certain artifacts—should they be returned to the country, a group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors (大使)” that improve understanding. They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. On the matter of return, some governments have made the move. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin. “I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,” said Macron. It’s said to be part of France’s long-promised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule. Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures. 33．The underlined word “repatriate” in paragraph 2 probably means______. A．protect B．show C．return D．borrow 34．People who consider foreign artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that ______. A．mistakes in history need correcting in time B．heritage artifacts belong to all the human beings C．artifacts will be better protected in their homeland D．history museum tours will be popular in the future 35．What can we learn from the passage? A．French museums refused to identify all the colonial treasures. B．Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures. C．The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon. D．Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection. 36．By writing this passage, the writer wants to ______. A．explain how and why many foreign treasures were stolen or looted B．advise governments to take actions in returning foreign treasures C．encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures D．show different views and present situation on the return of treasures 【答案】33．C 34．B 35．C 36．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕许多博物馆中收藏的文物是否应归还给原籍国展开讨论，介绍了不同观点及当前文物归还的现状。 33．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule.”以及“Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts.”可知，许多国家要求欧洲博物馆归还从原籍国偷走或掠夺的文物，所以“repatriate”意思是“归还”，与“return”意思相近。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段“There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact ‘cultural ambassadors (大使)’ that improve understanding.”可知，认为外国文物是“文化大使”的人认为文化是共享的财富，文物属于全人类。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures.”可知，法国虽然通过了归还文物的法案，但没有确定具体日期，说明被盗或掠夺的珍宝很难很快回到祖国。故选C。 36．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了关于文物归还的不同观点和当前文物归还的现状。故选D。 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 If you are going to apply for a job, be prepared for the kinds of interviews you can expect. 37 Here are some tips for telephone interviews: Predict the questions. Before the interview, guess and write down the questions you might be asked. Practice the answers orally until you are satisfied with yourself. 38 Keep your notes handy. Have any key information next to the phone, including your notes about the company and the questions you have prepared for. Then you can easily get the information you need. In this way, you will sound more prepared. 39 When you are asked how much money you would expect monthly, it’s not wise if you give no response(回应). But it’s not right to give an exact number at once. Try to be open to discussion, so you’d better say something like, “If this is the right job for me, I believe we can come to an agreement on pay.” Push for a face-to-face meeting. At the end of the interview, don’t forget to sell yourself. You can say something like, “I am very interested in working in your company. If possible, I’d be really happy to see some of your managers. I am free either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. 40 ” After the telephone interview, only a few are left for face-to-face interviews, so get prepared and good luck! A．Avoid salary topics. B．Why not make a call? C．Which would be better for you? D．Don’t ask for too much money. E．One type of interviews is the telephone interview. F．The questions can be about your working experiences, skills and achievements. 【答案】37．E 38．F 39．A 40．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些电话面试的技巧。 37．根据上文“If you are going to have a job interview, be prepared for the kinds of interviews you can expect.”可知，空处应提到了面试的种类。选项E“一种面试是电话面试。”符合语境，故选E。 38．根据上文“Practice the answers orally until you are satisfied with yourself.”可知，此处讲的是面试前的准备，提前对可能的问题做好准备，选项F“问题可以是关于你的工作经历、技能和成就。”符合语境，故选F。 39．根据“When you are asked how much money you would expect monthly, it’s not wise if you give no response (回应). But it’s not right to give an exact number at once.”可知，本段讨论薪资问题的应对策略，指出不宜直接回答具体数字，而应保持开放。选项A“避免薪资话题。”符合语境，故选A。 40．根据“I am free either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning.”可知，结尾提出两个时间选项，需询问对方偏好。选项C“哪个对你更好？”符合语境，故选C。 五、阅读短文，回答问题。41-43题答案不超过10个单词（共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分；满分9分） Rock climbing has been a popular sport for a long time. It’s still popular today, but now a lot of rock climbers are trying something new—ice climbing. Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing. When you go rock climbing, you climb a mountain. When you go ice climbing, you climb ice. Some ice climbers climb frozen waterfalls. Others climb glaciers (冰川). Still others climb mountains that are covered with ice. Sometimes, they climb a mountain that is covered in ice only in some places. When they are climbing parts that don’t have ice, they’re rock climbing. When they’re climbing parts that have ice, they’re ice climbing. As people made better equipment (装备), ice climbing started to become easier and more popular. In 1908, a climber made special boots called “crampons”. Those boots made ice climbing easier and safer. After that, more people were willing to try ice climbing. In the 1960s, another climber invented special axes. Climbers can use the axes to hit the ice. The axes go into the ice. Then the climber can pull himself or herself up. These days, a lot of people are taking ice climbing classes. In order to go ice climbing, you have to be strong and healthy. In fact, some teachers say that you should do special exercises before you start to climb. Here’s one good thing about ice climbing. You can do it in easy places or difficult places. People who want to try something simple can climb glaciers or small mountains. Those are usually pretty easy. People who want to try something more challenging can find a more difficult place. The hardest places are usually steep mountains and frozen waterfalls. However, you should never go ice climbing alone. You should always go with a teacher. A lot of people love ice climbing because it’s hard. These people like to challenge themselves. Some say that when you get to the top of a glacier or a frozen waterfall, you’ll have the best feeling. 前三题的答案不超过10个字，最后一题的答案字数不限。 41．Besides frozen waterfalls, where can people go ice climbing? 42．When was a kind of special axe invented? 43．Why should people do special exercises before they begin to go ice climbing? 44．Do you prefer easy places or difficult places to try ice climbing?

Others climb glaciers (冰川). Still others climb mountains that are covered with ice.”可知，除了结冰的瀑布，人们可以去冰川和被冰覆盖的山峰攀冰。故填On glaciers or mountains that are covered with ice. 42．根据第三段“In the 1960s, another climber invented special axes.”可知，20世纪60年代，发明了特殊的斧头。故填In the 1960s. 43．根据第四段“In order to go ice climbing, you have to be strong and healthy. In fact, some teachers say that you should do special exercises before you start to climb.”可知，人们在开始攀冰之前要做特殊的运动，是因为他们必须让自己强壮健康。故填Because they have to make themselves strong and healthy. 44．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I prefer difficult places, because I can challenge myself. 六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 On October 18, 2025, the famous physicist Yang Zhenning, who won the Nobel Prize, passed away in Beijing at the age of 103.

It was the third time she had torn out a page, crumpled it, and thrown it into the overflowing waste basket. Why is this so hard? She thought, glancing at the calendar circled in red: May 10th—Mother’s Day. Her relationship with Mom had always been... complicated. Mom was a doctor who worked late shifts, often leaving before dawn and returning when Clara was already asleep. Their conversations were limited to brief notes on the fridge: “Dinner in the microwave” or “Math test tomorrow—study!” Clara had grown used to the silence, but this year, she wanted to break it. The notebook was meant to be a gift—a collection of memories they had never shared. On the first page, she wrote: “To Mom, who saves lives but forgot mine.” Instantly guilt (内疚) washed over her. She ripped it out. That night, Clara found an old photo album in the attic. Flipping through it, she paused at a picture of Mom holding her as a baby, smiling in a way Clara had never seen. Behind the photo was a folded letter in Mom’s handwriting: “Clara turned I today. I missed her first steps because of an emergency surgery. How do I tell her I love her more than anything?” Tears blurred the words. Underneath the album lay a small box labeled “Clara’s Art–Age 5 to 12”. Inside were every doodle and painting Clara had thrown away over the years, carefully preserved. On Mother’s Day morning, Clara placed the notebook on Mom’s pillow. This time, the first page read: “To Mom, who loved me even when I didn’t see it.” 26．Why did Clara feel guilty after writing “To Mom, who saves lives but forgot mine”? A．She realized her mom kept her childhood art. B．She discovered her mom’s old photo album. C．She regretted misunderstanding her mom. D．She forgot to prepare a Mother’s Day gift. 27．What does the word “preserved” mean in the context of the story? A．Thrown away. B．Hidden carefully. C．Saved and protected. D．Bought recently. 28．What is the best title for the story? A．The Busy Doctor B．A Mother’s Secret C．The Forgotten Birthday D．Love in Silent Pages C Chinese shadow puppetry (皮影戏) is a form of traditional Chinese folk drama. It is probably one of the most ancient arts using light and shadow. It is also a mix of many art forms, including painting, music, opera and story-telling. Shadow puppetry was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) List in 2011. More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wu of Han was very sad about the death of his wife. One day, one of his men happened to see some children playing with toys. The shadows of the toys were lively on the floor. Then he had an idea—he made a puppet (偶) of the emperor’s wife. As night fell, he invited the emperor to watch a puppet show. This is believed to be the start of shadow puppetry. In the Tang Dynasty, shadow puppetry was played by many people in many places around the country. Then in the Yuan Dynasty, it was introduced into West Asian and European countries along the Silk Road. The art form became the most popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was played in almost every province (省) and in many kinds of celebrations like weddings and birthday dinners. It is not an easy job to make the puppets. Their body parts are cut separately and then joined together so that they can move freely. During the show, puppetry artists connect the puppets’ most important joints (关节) with sticks. In this way, they can hold the puppets and make the puppets walk, run or dance as they want. Sometimes the puppets could be as lively as living things on the screen. In fact, most puppetry artists across China don’t get trained and don’t play shadow puppetry as a job. They just play it for fun and love. However, they are still experts (专家) in this field. In recent years, puppetry artists have explored ways to make this ancient art form as popular as it used to be and pass it on to the young, hoping more people can understand its importance and feel its beauty. They also get support from the Chinese government. Thanks to their hard work, Chinese shadow puppetry is becoming great again. 29．According to the passage, when was Chinese shadow puppetry added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List? A．2,000 years ago. B．During the Tang Dynasty. C．In 2011. D．In the Qing Dynasty. 30．Why might shadow puppetry have become the most popular during the Qing Dynasty? A．Puppets were easier to make at that time. B．It was played in almost every province and for kinds of celebrations. C．The government stopped other forms of art. D．Artists began using modern tools to create puppets. 31．Which statement is TRUE about making shadow puppets? A．Puppets’ body parts are made as a single piece. B．Artists use ropes to control the puppets’ joints. C．Sticks are only used to hold the puppets, not to control their movements. D．Puppets can move freely because their parts are joined together. 32．What can we infer about most puppetry artists in China today? A．They perform puppetry mainly out of love and personal interest. B．They depend on puppetry as their main job. C．They are all completely trained experts. D．They refuse to modernize (使现代化) the art form. D Think about the last time you went to an art or history museum. Which pieces of artifacts (文物) stood out to you? Did you read the introduction next to them? Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them? Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule. You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum, or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum. Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts. The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years. Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally (道义上) the right thing to do. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland. Yet there are different voices. Those against the return point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago. Also, it is sometimes hard to identify (确认) the true owners of certain artifacts—should they be returned to the country, a group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors (大使)” that improve understanding. They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. On the matter of return, some governments have made the move. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin. “I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,” said Macron. It’s said to be part of France’s long-promised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule. Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures. 33．The underlined word “repatriate” in paragraph 2 probably means______. A．protect B．show C．return D．borrow 34．People who consider foreign artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that ______. A．mistakes in history need correcting in time B．heritage artifacts belong to all the human beings C．artifacts will be better protected in their homeland D．history museum tours will be popular in the future 35．What can we learn from the passage? A．French museums refused to identify all the colonial treasures. B．Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures. C．The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon. D．Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection. 36．By writing this passage, the writer wants to ______. A．explain how and why many foreign treasures were stolen or looted B．advise governments to take actions in returning foreign treasures C．encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures D．show different views and present situation on the return of treasures 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 If you are going to apply for a job, be prepared for the kinds of interviews you can expect. 37 Here are some tips for telephone interviews: Predict the questions. Before the interview, guess and write down the questions you might be asked. Practice the answers orally until you are satisfied with yourself. 38 Keep your notes handy. Have any key information next to the phone, including your notes about the company and the questions you have prepared for. Then you can easily get the information you need. In this way, you will sound more prepared. 39 When you are asked how much money you would expect monthly, it’s not wise if you give no response(回应). But it’s not right to give an exact number at once. Try to be open to discussion, so you’d better say something like, “If this is the right job for me, I believe we can come to an agreement on pay.” Push for a face-to-face meeting. At the end of the interview, don’t forget to sell yourself. You can say something like, “I am very interested in working in your company. If possible, I’d be really happy to see some of your managers. I am free either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. 40 ” After the telephone interview, only a few are left for face-to-face interviews, so get prepared and good luck! A．Avoid salary topics. B．Why not make a call? C．Which would be better for you? D．Don’t ask for too much money. E．One type of interviews is the telephone interview. F．The questions can be about your working experiences, skills and achievements. 五、阅读短文，回答问题。41-43题答案不超过10个单词（共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分；满分9分） Rock climbing has been a popular sport for a long time. It’s still popular today, but now a lot of rock climbers are trying something new—ice climbing. Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing. When you go rock climbing, you climb a mountain. When you go ice climbing, you climb ice. Some ice climbers climb frozen waterfalls. Others climb glaciers (冰川). Still others climb mountains that are covered with ice. Sometimes, they climb a mountain that is covered in ice only in some places. When they are climbing parts that don’t have ice, they’re rock climbing. When they’re climbing parts that have ice, they’re ice climbing. As people made better equipment (装备), ice climbing started to become easier and more popular. In 1908, a climber made special boots called “crampons”. Those boots made ice climbing easier and safer. After that, more people were willing to try ice climbing. In the 1960s, another climber invented special axes. Climbers can use the axes to hit the ice. The axes go into the ice. Then the climber can pull himself or herself up. These days, a lot of people are taking ice climbing classes. In order to go ice climbing, you have to be strong and healthy. In fact, some teachers say that you should do special exercises before you start to climb. Here’s one good thing about ice climbing. You can do it in easy places or difficult places. People who want to try something simple can climb glaciers or small mountains. Those are usually pretty easy. People who want to try something more challenging can find a more difficult place. The hardest places are usually steep mountains and frozen waterfalls. However, you should never go ice climbing alone. You should always go with a teacher. A lot of people love ice climbing because it’s hard. These people like to challenge themselves. Some say that when you get to the top of a glacier or a frozen waterfall, you’ll have the best feeling. 前三题的答案不超过10个字，最后一题的答案字数不限。 41．Besides frozen waterfalls, where can people go ice climbing? 42．When was a kind of special axe invented? 43．Why should people do special exercises before they begin to go ice climbing? 44．Do you prefer easy places or difficult places to try ice climbing? Why? 六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 On October 18, 2025, the famous physicist Yang Zhenning, who won the Nobel Prize, passed away in Beijing at the age of 103.
