B In Canada and the United States, people often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation (会话). The reason for this is their love for entertaining (请客) at home. Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their homes: “Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?” “Hey, we’re having a party on Friday. Can you come?” To reply to an invitation, either say“thank you” and accept, or say “I’m sorry” and give an excuse: “Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry, I’ve got tickets for a movie.” Sometimes however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example:“Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?” They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention a specific (确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say “Sure, that would be great” or “OK/ Yes, thanks.” So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully, is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly? 19. Why do people in Canada and the United States often invite friends for meals at home? A. Because they can save time. B. Because they can save money. C. Because they like entertaining at home. D.

What can you say if people say “Let’s get together for lunch some day”? A. That would be great. B. How about this weekend? C. Oh, sorry, I’m very busy. D. That’s good. I’ ll be there on time. 22 What do people try to show by using“an unreal invitation”? A. To show that they’re trying to be happy. B. To show that they’re trying to be helpful. C. To show that they’re trying to be friendly. D. To show that they’re trying to make friends. C Nala is a 4-year-old cat, who has become famous at a train station in England. She loves to sit on the ticket gates at Stevenage train station and loves the attention (关注) she gets there, says her owner, Natasha Ambler. Nala often visits the station both in the morning and the evening in a day, knowing what time people will be there. Nala has become so popular that she even has her own social media pages. Her fans share pictures they’ve taken with her. The station manager, Shaun Smith, is also a big fan of Nala, and says the cat is breaking down barriers (隔阂) between people. “Nala makes people smile and start conversations, which is helping everyone feel more like a community (团体),” Smith said. Many people think Nala is a lost cat. But actually she comes from a loving home. Nala is an outdoor cat and loves to hang out. She wears a GPS tag (追踪器) so that her owner can see where she goes. She spends most of a night in a nearby movie theater, but Nala’s favorite place to visit is the train station. When asked if she is worried about Nala’s safety, Ambler says she isn’t—but she just hopes Nala won’t try to get on a train one day. 23. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. Nala loves walking around the train station. B. Nala may visit the train station twice a day. C. Nala often goes to the train station with her owner. D. Nala spends all of her time at the train station. 24. Which of the following may Smith agree with? A. Everyone should keep a pet cat. B. It is better to get on with pets than people. C. Nala brings happiness to people’s days. D. Nala teaches people how to start conversations. 25. How does Nala’s owner know where Nala is? A. By using a GPS tag. B. By talking to people. C. By visiting Nala’s pages. D. By calling Stevenage train station. 26. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How to keep a cat. B. How to save animals. C. A lost cat. D. A cat at a train station. D About 90% of the population in the world are right-handed. But according to a report, lots of famous people are left-handed (左撇子). For example, American presidents such as George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are left-handed. So are Leonardo da Vinci, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and so on. What does that mean? Are left-handed people smarter than the right-handed? To answer this question, scientists studied 2,300 right-handed and left-handed students between the ages of 6 and 17 in Italy. The students were asked to solve some math problems. There was no difference when they looked at the easier math problems. But left-handed students did better at the more difficult problems. However, left-handed people have not always been seen in such a positive way. Because left-handedness was once described as a serious “illness” in the book written by J. W. Conway in 1936. In our language, there are always prejudices (偏见) against left-handed people. To be someone’s “right-hand man” is good. It means you are a person who can help a lot. But to be someone’s “left-hand man” is bad. The word itself comes from the old English “lyft” meaning “weak” or “broken”. These prejudices not only appear in English. The French word for left is “gauche”, which means “awkward (笨拙的)”, while “droite”, the French word for right, means “clever”. 27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph? A. About 10% of humans worldwide are left-handed. B. Most of the US presidents are left-handed. C. About 10% of rich men worldwide are left-handed. D. Most famous people are left-handed. 28. What do we know from the study? A. Right-handed students liked math more. B. Right-handed students solved more math problems. C. Left-handed students did better at easy math problems. D. Left-handed students were better at difficult math problems. 29. What does the underlined word “positive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. 现实的 B. 确定的 C. 正面的 D. 清晰的 30. What is the best title for this passage? A. Right or left? It is up to you. B. Are left-handed people smarter? C. Which hand do you often use? D. How to be a left-handed person? 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共45分） 三、词汇运用（共10小题, 每小题1分, 满分10分） 根据首字母或汉语提示,写出下列句子中单词的完全形式。 31. Molly is o________ a birthday party for her best friend Tina. 32.

It means that humans ____43____ (fly) to another planet in 1,000 years. ____44____ fact, we have found one red planet—Mars (火星). Experts have found that there is water on it.

Try this app. It is called Food Trainer, and it was made by a group of scientists in the UK. It helps people eat less junk food through a game. In the free game, healthy food always appears in green circles and unhealthy food always comes in red circles. If a user taps (轻击) on an object in the green circle, he or she can get a point. But tapping on an object in the red circle will lose a point. Does this simple game work well? The makers of the app carried out a study. They worked with some scientists from the University of Helsinki in Finland. Together they invited more than 1,200 volunteers to play the game once a day. After a month, the volunteers reported changes in their diet and weight. Most of them said they had started eating more healthy food. Some volunteers used to eat junk food two to four times a week. At the end of the study, they had cut it down to once a week, so each volunteer lost more than half a kilogram of weight. The app works so well! That’s because it uses mind training techniques (大脑训练技术) to make people lose interest in junk food. Through practice, the game trains users’ minds to put the brakes (刹车) on as soon as they see junk food. This helps users say no to unhealthy food in their daily lives! All in all, this game app can help people keep healthy! 51. What is the name of the game app? _________________________ 52. What can we do to get a point on the app? _________________________ 53. How many volunteers took part in the study? _________________________ 54. Why does the app work so well? _________________________ 55. What do you think of this game app? _________________________ 六、写作（满分15分） 56. 时光匆匆，转眼之间，我们已经来到了2025年。假如你是李华，请用英语写一封信给你的英国笔友Danny，跟他分享一下你在2024年的收获、遗憾以及你对2025年的展望。 2024年 收获：1.生活方面…… 2.学习方面…… 遗憾：…… 2025年 打算和愿望：…… 要求： 1. 文中不得出现你真实姓名和所在班级、学校等的名称； 2. 必须包含表格中所有要点，可适当增加内容，以使行文连贯； 3. 80词左右；首尾句已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Danny, How time flies! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!

Nala often visits the station both in the morning and the evening in a day, knowing what time people will be there. Nala has become so popular that she even has her own social media pages. Her fans share pictures they’ve taken with her. The station manager, Shaun Smith, is also a big fan of Nala, and says the cat is breaking down barriers (隔阂) between people. “Nala makes people smile and start conversations, which is helping everyone feel more like a community (团体),” Smith said. Many people think Nala is a lost cat. But actually she comes from a loving home. Nala is an outdoor cat and loves to hang out. She wears a GPS tag (追踪器) so that her owner can see where she goes. She spends most of a night in a nearby movie theater, but Nala’s favorite place to visit is the train station. When asked if she is worried about Nala’s safety, Ambler says she isn’t—but she just hopes Nala won’t try to get on a train one day. 23. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. Nala loves walking around the train station. B. Nala may visit the train station twice a day. C. Nala often goes to the train station with her owner. D.

But according to a report, lots of famous people are left-handed (左撇子). For example, American presidents such as George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are left-handed. So are Leonardo da Vinci, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and so on. What does that mean? Are left-handed people smarter than the right-handed? To answer this question, scientists studied 2,300 right-handed and left-handed students between the ages of 6 and 17 in Italy. The students were asked to solve some math problems. There was no difference when they looked at the easier math problems. But left-handed students did better at the more difficult problems. However, left-handed people have not always been seen in such a positive way. Because left-handedness was once described as a serious “illness” in the book written by J. W. Conway in 1936. In our language, there are always prejudices (偏见) against left-handed people. To be someone’s “right-hand man” is good. It means you are a person who can help a lot. But to be someone’s “left-hand man” is bad. The word itself comes from the old English “lyft” meaning “weak” or “broken”. These prejudices not only appear in English. The French word for left is “gauche”, which means “awkward (笨拙的)”, while “droite”, the French word for right, means “clever”. 27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph? A. About 10% of humans worldwide are left-handed. B. Most of the US presidents are left-handed. C. About 10% of rich men worldwide are left-handed. D. Most famous people are left-handed. 28. What do we know from the study? A. Right-handed students liked math more. B. Right-handed students solved more math problems. C. Left-handed students did better at easy math problems. D. Left-handed students were better at difficult math problems. 29. What does the underlined word “positive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. 现实的 B. 确定的 C. 正面的 D. 清晰的 30. What is the best title for this passage? A. Right or left? It is up to you. B. Are left-handed people smarter? C. Which hand do you often use? D. How to be a left-handed person? 【答案】27. A 28. D 29. C 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了左撇子是否更聪明的问题，引用了一项关于左右手学生在数学解题上的差异研究，并指出了历史上社会对左撇子的偏见。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“About 90% of the population in the world are right-handed.”（世界上大约90%的人是右撇子。）可知，大约10%的人是左撇子。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But left-handed students did better at the more difficult problems.”可知，左撇子学生在解决更难的数学题时表现更优。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“However, left-handed people have not always been seen in such a positive way.”（然而，左撇子并不总是以如此……的方式被看待。）以及后文对历史上左撇子被视为“疾病”和语言中偏见的描述，可知“positive”与后文的负面看法相对，意为“正面的”。故选C。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。文章开篇提出问题“左撇子更聪明吗？”，随后通过科学研究和社会偏见两方面进行探讨，因此最佳标题是“左撇子更聪明吗？”。故选B。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共45分） 三、词汇运用（共10小题, 每小题1分, 满分10分） 根据首字母或汉语提示,写出下列句子中单词的完全形式。 31.

Try this app. It is called Food Trainer, and it was made by a group of scientists in the UK. It helps people eat less junk food through a game. In the free game, healthy food always appears in green circles and unhealthy food always comes in red circles. If a user taps (轻击) on an object in the green circle, he or she can get a point. But tapping on an object in the red circle will lose a point. Does this simple game work well? The makers of the app carried out a study. They worked with some scientists from the University of Helsinki in Finland. Together they invited more than 1,200 volunteers to play the game once a day. After a month, the volunteers reported changes in their diet and weight. Most of them said they had started eating more healthy food. Some volunteers used to eat junk food two to four times a week. At the end of the study, they had cut it down to once a week, so each volunteer lost more than half a kilogram of weight. The app works so well! That’s because it uses mind training techniques (大脑训练技术) to make people lose interest in junk food. Through practice, the game trains users’ minds to put the brakes (刹车) on as soon as they see junk food. This helps users say no to unhealthy food in their daily lives! All in all, this game app can help people keep healthy! 51. What is the name of the game app? _________________________ 52. What can we do to get a point on the app? _________________________ 53. How many volunteers took part in the study? _________________________ 54. Why does the app work so well? _________________________ 55. What do you think of this game app? _________________________ 【答案】51. Food Trainer. 52. We can tap on an object in the green circle. 53. More than 1,200. 54. Because it uses mind training techniques to make people lose interest in junk food. 55. Helpful./This game app can help people keep healthy. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一款名为Food Trainer的英国科学团队开发的应用，它通过游戏帮助人们减少垃圾食品摄入，还介绍了其游戏规则、相关研究结果及有效的原因。 【51题详解】 根据“It is called Food Trainer”可知，这款游戏应用的名字是Food Trainer，故填Food Trainer. 【52题详解】 根据“If a user taps on an object in the green circle, he or she can get a point”可知，轻击绿色圆圈里的物品可以得分，故填We can tap on an object in the green circle. 【53题详解】 根据“Together they invited more than 1,200 volunteers to play the game once a day” 可知，超过1200名志愿者参与了研究，故填More than 1,200. 【54题详解】 根据“That’s because it uses mind training techniques to make people lose interest in junk food”可知，它效果好是因为采用了大脑训练技术让人们对垃圾食品失去兴趣，故填Because it uses mind training techniques to make people lose interest in junk food. 【55题详解】 开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为Helpful./This game app can help people keep healthy. 六、写作（满分15分） 56. 时光匆匆，转眼之间，我们已经来到了2025年。假如你是李华，请用英语写一封信给你的英国笔友Danny，跟他分享一下你在2024年的收获、遗憾以及你对2025年的展望。 2024年 收获：1.生活方面…… 2.学习方面…… 遗憾：…… 2025年 打算和愿望：…… 要求： 1. 文中不得出现你的真实姓名和所在班级、学校等的名称； 2. 必须包含表格中所有要点，可适当增加内容，以使行文连贯； 3. 80词左右；首尾句已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Danny, How time flies! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!
