Materials: Instructions: (1) Fill the glass or jug about 2/3 full with water. (2) Drop the egg carefully into the glass and watch it going down towards the bottom. (3) Take the egg out and add about 5 spoons of salt. Test to see if your egg goes up. (4) Add more salt if the egg is still at the bottom. The science behind it: Things go down in the water when they are denser than the water, and by adding salt we make the water denser. Once the water is denser than the egg, it goes up. You can also try other things to see if you can have the same result. 26. What kind of lesson are the students having? A. Maths. B. Biology. C. Physics. (物理) D. Geography. 27. Which of the following is the result you can see after adding salt in water? A. B. C. D. 28. What does the underlined word “denser” in Part 3 probably mean? A. Faster. B. Slower. C. Lighter. D.

Once the water is denser than the egg, it goes up.”可知，当物体比水密度大时，物体在水中下沉，加盐使水密度变大，当水的密度比鸡蛋大时，鸡蛋上浮，所以“denser”意思是密度更大，也就是更重，与“Heavier”意思相近。故选D。 B January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code (代码), and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of OpenAI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money. DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than OpenAI’s model. A simple version of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous U.S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” U.S. tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving that smart ideas beat expensive tools. As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 29. DeepSeek-R1 can do all the following EXCEPT (除了) ________. A. solving math problems B. writing computer code C. replacing human scientists D. answering questions 30. What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from other AIs in learning methods? A. It needs more prepared examples. B. It improves by itself through practice. C. It can only solve math problems. D. It requires expensive computers. 31. Why are U.S. tech companies like Meta worried about DeepSeek-R1? A. Because it is too expensive. B. Because it works worse than their AIs. C. Because only Chinese people can use it. D. Because it is cheap and free, changing the race of AI. 32. What is the best title for this passage? A. “The High Cost of AI Development” B. “DeepSeek-R1: A Smart and Free AI” C. “Why U.S. Tech Companies Are Worried” D. “How to Build an AI Like GPT-4” 【答案】29. C 30. B 31. D 32. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍中国公司研发的AI模型DeepSeek-R1的特点、低成本、学习方式、开源优势及其在国际上的影响。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This smart program can solve math problems, write code (代码), and answer questions”可知，DeepSeek-R1这个智能程序可以解决数学问题、编写代码和回答问题。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“but R1 improves by itself.”可知，它的不同之处在于能通过自我练习提升。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Meta plans to spend $65 billion more…”以及“This kind of free AI could change the world.”可知，DeepSeek-R1因便宜又开源，影响AI格局，令美企担忧。故选D。 【32题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文重点介绍了DeepSeek-R1的优势和潜力，B项“DeepSeek-R1: A Smart and Free AI”最贴切。故选B。 C Students who learn language often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study. To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. It’s organized. When you put away a book or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meanings of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 33. In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________. A. they have memory problems B. they are too worried C. they don’t use a proper way D. they don’t like to study 34. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A. Short-term memory is seldom used. B. What we see goes into long-term memory first. C. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 35. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________. A. keeps many books like a large library B. works like a well-organized library C. gives you any book D. leaves memory anywhere 36. This passage mainly tells us about ________. A. Students’ language problems in study B. how to make the meanings of words stronger C. short-term and long-term memory D. ways to remember words better 【答案】33. C 34. C 35. B 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对语言学习者常遇到的记不住单词的问题展开，指出问题并非出在记忆力上，而是学习方法不当；介绍了记忆的两种类型及其特点，还详细说明了通过用单词造新句、编小故事、在脑海中构建画面等方法，将单词转化为长期记忆，从而更好地记住单词。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Students who learn language often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.”可知，作者认为学生记不住单词是因为学习方法不当，故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you see hear or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds.”可知，进入短期记忆的内容只能持续几秒钟，很快会被忘记，C选项表述正确，故选C。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. It’s organized. When you put away a book or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.”可知，长期记忆像一个有组织的大图书馆，需要把“书籍（记忆）”放在特定位置以便再次找到，强调其“有条理”的特点，故选B。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，开篇指出学生记不住单词的问题在于学习方法，随后介绍记忆类型，最终重点说明记住单词的方法，核心是“如何更好地记住单词”，故选D。 D “Do you really have no place to go?” Jan looks up and shakes her head. “Then come with me. You can stay at my house tonight.” Jan gets up and follows Tom without saying any word! Jan looks up at the night sky.

The planes landing and taking off at the airport.” “What airport?” “Apsworth, of course.” Jan can see that Tom doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She knows she’s in Port Prime but everything looks different. Maybe she’s in the future. “That’s it! “ she thinks. “This is the future.” She looks around her and thinks: “If this is the future, it’s very different from the future in my dream.” “There aren’t any tall buildings. There aren’t thousands of people and lots of different colours. And there aren’t any taxis flying in the sky. Maybe there was a war. The war destroyed (摧毁) the airport and my home.” She looks at Tom. “Don’t laugh at me, Tom. Do you promise (保证)?” “I promise.” “I think I’m in the future.” Tom laughs. “I’m sorry. So you think you’re in the future.” “Yes. But everything’s different. Was there a war?” “Yes, there was a war…but it was a long time ago.” “I think my house disappeared in the war.” Five minutes later they arrive outside Tom’s house. They walk up to the house and Tom opens the front door. Jan notices that the front door isn’t locked. As they walk into the front hall a voice calls out from the front room. “Tom?

It influences our health, feelings and intelligence (智力). In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have some health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. They feel hot and get angry easily. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, the IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse grades on exams in July and August, the hottest months of the year. 66.

They might feel unhappy during cold weather.”可知，瘦的人在寒冷天气可能会感到不开心。故填They might feel unhappy. 【68题详解】 根据“But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. They feel hot and get angry easily.”可知，肥胖的人在炎热的夏天可能会过得艰难。故填Fat people. 【69题详解】 根据“For example, in a scientific report, the IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came”可知，在一份科学报告中，当一阵大风来临时，一群学生的智商很高。故填When a very strong wind came. 【70题详解】 本题答案不唯一，言之有理且无误即可。参考答案为Different weather influences our health, feelings and intelligence. 八、书面表达（本大题共20分） 71. 假设你是阳光中学的李华，一位野生动物爱好者。你登录了Wildlife Conservation Society（野生动物保护协会）网站。要求你用英文写一封加入协会的申请信。 1．What is your information? 2．What can you do to protect animals? 3．How can you encourage more people to join and help? 注意事项： 1．文中不能出现真实姓名、校名等信息； 2．文章必须包含所有要点，可适当发挥，使短文连贯、通顺； 3．词数：80词左右。 Dear Sir/Madam, I am a student from Sunshine School and a wildlife enthusiast. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】例文 Dear Sir/Madam, I am a student from Sunshine School and a wildlife enthusiast.

Materials: Instructions: (1) Fill the glass or jug about 2/3 full with water. (2) Drop the egg carefully into the glass and watch it going down towards the bottom. (3) Take the egg out and add about 5 spoons of salt. Test to see if your egg goes up. (4) Add more salt if the egg is still at the bottom. The science behind it: Things go down in the water when they are denser than the water, and by adding salt we make the water denser. Once the water is denser than the egg, it goes up. You can also try other things to see if you can have the same result. 26. What kind of lesson are the students having? A. Maths. B. Biology. C. Physics. (物理) D. Geography. 27. Which of the following is the result you can see after adding salt in water? A. B. C. D. 28. What does the underlined word “denser” in Part 3 probably mean? A. Faster. B. Slower. C. Lighter. D. Heavier. B January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code (代码), and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of OpenAI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money. DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than OpenAI’s model. A simple version of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous U.S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” U.S. tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving that smart ideas beat expensive tools. As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 29. DeepSeek-R1 can do all the following EXCEPT (除了) ________. A. solving math problems B. writing computer code C. replacing human scientists D. answering questions 30. What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from other AIs in learning methods? A. It needs more prepared examples. B. It improves by itself through practice. C. It can only solve math problems. D. It requires expensive computers. 31. Why are U.S. tech companies like Meta worried about DeepSeek-R1? A. Because it is too expensive. B. Because it works worse than their AIs. C. Because only Chinese people can use it. D. Because it is cheap and free, changing the race of AI. 32. What is the best title for this passage? A. “The High Cost of AI Development” B. “DeepSeek-R1: A Smart and Free AI” C. “Why U.S. Tech Companies Are Worried” D. “How to Build an AI Like GPT-4” C Students who learn language often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study. To remember words better you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. It’s organized. When you put away a book or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meanings of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 33. In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________. A. they have memory problems B. they are too worried C. they don’t use a proper way D. they don’t like to study 34. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A. Short-term memory is seldom used. B. What we see goes into long-term memory first. C. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 35. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________. A. keeps many books like a large library B. works like a well-organized library C gives you any book D. leaves memory anywhere 36. This passage mainly tells us about ________. A.

It influences our health, feelings and intelligence (智力). In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have some health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.

For example, in a scientific report, the IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower.
