Well, that’s what you’d be surprised at. Art toys are much more than simple playthings. They’re pieces of art, rich in creativity and culture. Let’s find out why the collectors are so crazy about them. The most widely accepted reason for collecting art toys is that each art toy is a special piece of art. It shows the personal style and creativity of the artist who created it. So, when you collect art toys, you’re not just collecting objects—you’re having a collection of modern art! What’s more, many art toys are symbols of popular culture, from movies and music to fashion and street art. These toys give you a fun way to connect with the cultures you love. Besides, collecting art toys can introduce you to a community of collectors. You’ll have the chance to share your love, ideas, and even trade toys with people who share your interest. Last but not least, limited-edition (限量版) toys can increase in value over time, especially if they’re kept in a good shape. Believe it or not, some art toys can even help you make a fortune! Collecting art toys is not just about having a shelf full of cool toys. It’s about connecting with modern art as well as different cultures, and becoming part of the community. Besides, who knows? You might even get a toy today and that’ll be worth a small fortune in the future! But remember, collecting art toys should always be pleasant and relaxing. Don’t go too far, or it may not be a fun thing anymore. 4. How does the writer lead in the topic? A. By telling a story. B. By showing a map. C. By asking a question. D. By giving an example. 5. How many reasons for collecting art toys are mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 6. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “fortune”? fortune n. ①a lot of money ②a person’s future ③chance or luck that influences a person ④good or bad things that happen to a person A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 7. What can we infer from the passage? A. Art toy collecting is good for all. B. Collectors of art toys are famous artists. C. Art toys can be a bridge of communication. D. The best playthings for children are art toys. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要分析了收集艺术玩具的原因。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You may be wondering, ‘Why would someone collect art toys?’”可知，作者通过提问的方式引出话题。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“each art toy is a special piece of art….you’re having a collection of modern art…many art toys are symbols of popular culture,…collecting art toys can introduce you to a community of collectors…limited-edition toys can increase in value over time,…”可知，依次列举了四个收集艺术玩具的原因：它是艺术品；与流行文化相关；能结识其他收藏者，加入社群；限量版玩具具有升值空间。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“limited-edition toys can increase in value over time,”限量版玩具具有升值空间；可知，“fortune”在文中表示“赚大钱”。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“collecting art toys can introduce you to a community of collectors”可知，艺术玩具可以成为人与人之间交流的桥梁。故选C。 C Today, it’s more difficult to tell what to trust online. AI-based information is all over the Internet. But not everything that looks like a “fact” is truly a fact. It’s easy to get lost in all that noise. That’s why I was excited to discover World Book recently. Since 1925, the company has printed a new edition of its encyclopedia (百科全书) almost every year. Without thinking twice, I ordered a copy of the 2024 edition. A week later, the encyclopedia arrived in a small but heavy box. I unpacked the 22 books with care. It may sound silly, but I really enjoyed feeling the weight of all that knowledge in my hands. There were no pop-ups (弹窗) or ads. It was just me and knowledge. The encyclopedia keeps up with modern topics. Even sports stars like snowboarder Chloe Kim find their place. So far, I’ve read about 30 entries (条目). They are all accurate (准确的) and well-written. One day, I showed the encyclopedia to my kids. They had never seen a printed encyclopedia before and were surprised by its size. I had hoped these books would help them with their schoolwork, but they were not interested in them at all. After all, teenagers are glued to the Internet and prefer online encyclopedias like Wikipedia. I don’t mind if the encyclopedia is just for me. Every morning at breakfast, I take out a book and step in. The encyclopedia has helped me refresh my knowledge on many subjects. And I’m confident that it’s more trustworthy than any AI writer. 8. What is World Book according to the passage? A. A magazine. B. A company. C. A website. D. A bookstore. 9. Why does the writer mention Chloe Kim in Paragraph 3? A. To introduce her achievements in sports. B. To explain the way of using the encyclopedia. C. To tell people how to know about modern topics. D. To show the encyclopedia is keeping up with the times. 10. Which sentence best shows the writer’s love for the printed encyclopedia? A. It’s easy to get lost in all that noise. B. I showed the encyclopedia to my kids. C. The encyclopedia keeps up with modern topics. D. Every morning at breakfast, I take out a book and step in. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. How the online encyclopedia has developed. B. Why the writer prefers a printed encyclopedia. C. What differences the online and printed books have. D. Where the writer gets the correct AI-based information. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者在信息爆炸的时代选择购买印刷版百科全书的原因及其使用体验，表达了对传统知识载体的喜爱和信任。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Since 1925, the company has printed a new edition of its encyclopedia (百科全书) almost every year.”以及后文内容可知，World Book是一家出版百科全书的公司，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The encyclopedia keeps up with modern topics. Even sports stars like snowboarder Chloe Kim find their place.”可知，作者提到Chloe Kim是为了表明这本百科全书紧跟时代潮流，涵盖了现代话题，故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Every morning at breakfast, I take out a book and step in. The encyclopedia has helped me refresh my knowledge on many subjects.”可知，作者每天早餐时都会拿出一本书来阅读，这表明了作者对这本印刷版百科全书的喜爱，故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者购买并阅读了World Book出版的百科全书，发现其内容准确且紧跟时代，尽管孩子们对此不感兴趣，但作者自己非常喜欢，并认为它比任何AI写作都更值得信赖。因此，文章主要关于作者为什么更喜欢印刷版的百科全书，故选B。 D Beep! Beep! Beep! Cody woke up. The alarm? It was Saturday! Then he remembered. It was their first day of training. Cody hurried to meet his friends at the park. He sat next to Michael, whose eyes were almost closed. Ethan handed each of them a manual (使用手册). “Our first day of cross-country season is in two weeks. Make sure to read your running manual before that.” Cody stared at the manual in his hands. “1001 Running Tips?” “Who needs that many tips?” Michael asked. “We do.” Ethan answered. “Who made you our coach (教练) again?” Michael asked. “Remember ‘rock, paper, scissors’?” Cody said. “Ethan won.” Michael sighed to Cody Ethan went on. “OK, as I said, only two weeks to get ourselves in running shape.” Then, Ethan took out three heavy books and gave them each. Michael raised his book. “Let me guess. You want us to read this too?” “No.” Ethan placed a book on his own head. “Here’s our first exercise. Proper posture is important.” After walking around with books balanced on their heads, Cody said, “I think I’m warmed up. How about going for a run now?” “Do you have enough energy?” Ethan asked. “Let’s have a little snack.” After they ate them, Ethan asked, “Are you ready for push-ups?” Cody watched a couple of guys from their school run past. “We’re trying out for cross-country. Don’t you think we should, uh, run?” he asked. Ethan shook his head. “We have to think about our running form. For example, overstriding could cause shin splints.” “I don’t even know what that means,” Cody said. Ethan smiled and pointed to the manual. “Check out number 12 of 1001 Running Tips.” Michael begged. “Please, let’s just get going.” “We still need sunscreen and to drink some water,” Ethan said. When they’d all put on sunscreen and drunk some water, Cody said, “You’ve thought of everything, Ethan.” “Yep. Let’s go,” Michael said, running in place. “I’m not sure we’re ready,” said Ethan. “We won’t know until we try,” Michael said. “Ethan takes the lead” said Cody. “Good idea.” Ethan said. Cody continued, “But I’ll decide when to start.” Michael smiled widely. “Ready, set…” “Wait,” said Ethan. “Do you think we need to—” Cody clapped his hands. “Go!” 12. What will Cody and his friends probably do two weeks later? A. Read the running manual. B. Have a running race in the park. C. Train for the sports meeting. D. Run for the cross-country season. 13. What does the underlined word “that” refer to? A. The running manual. B. The push-up exercise. C. The example Ethan gave. D. The book on Ethan’s head. 14. What do Cody and Michael probably think of Ethan’s coaching? A. Interesting but tiring. B. Helpful and relaxing. C. Well-planned but unnecessary. D. Important and educational. 15. What can be the best title of the story? A. Ready, Set… Wait! B. Practice Makes Perfect C. Rock, Paper, Scissors! D. Two Heads Are Better Than One 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Cody、Michael和Ethan在周六进行越野跑赛季前的首次训练，Ethan安排了诸多准备事项，两人多次催促后最终在科迪的指令下开始跑步。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Our first day of cross-country season is in two weeks.”可知，两周后参加越野跑。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据Cody说“I don’t even know what that means”可知，that代指上文Ethan所提到的“For example, overstriding could cause shin splints.”，因此指Ethan所给的例子。故选C。 【14题详解】 观点态度题。通读可知Ethan准备充分、规划周全，一会儿要看手册，一会儿要做各种热身准备，但Cody和Michael却只是想尽快去跑步，可以推断他们觉得Ethan的安排“周密却没那么必要”，故选“Well-planned but unnecessary”。故选C。 【15题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，Cody和Michael总想立即开始跑，而Ethan又不停地让他们“等等，再……”，因此选项A“Ready, Set…Wait!”最符合故事主题。故选A。 第二节 任务型阅读 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面材料，从下面所给的A-E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项），将其序号填入小题，并回答最后小题。 Bottles for a Cause When Genshu Price was 10, he started recycling (回收利用) bottles to raise money for college.

Art toys are much more than simple playthings. They’re pieces of art, rich in creativity and culture. Let’s find out why the collectors are so crazy about them. The most widely accepted reason for collecting art toys is that each art toy is a special piece of art. It shows the personal style and creativity of the artist who created it. So, when you collect art toys, you’re not just collecting objects—you’re having a collection of modern art! What’s more, many art toys are symbols of popular culture, from movies and music to fashion and street art. These toys give you a fun way to connect with the cultures you love. Besides, collecting art toys can introduce you to a community of collectors. You’ll have the chance to share your love, ideas, and even trade toys with people who share your interest. Last but not least, limited-edition (限量版) toys can increase in value over time, especially if they’re kept in a good shape. Believe it or not, some art toys can even help you make a fortune! Collecting art toys is not just about having a shelf full of cool toys. It’s about connecting with modern art as well as different cultures, and becoming part of the community. Besides, who knows? You might even get a toy today and that’ll be worth a small fortune in the future! But remember, collecting art toys should always be pleasant and relaxing. Don’t go too far, or it may not be a fun thing anymore. 4. How does the writer lead in the topic? A. By telling a story. B. By showing a map. C. By asking a question. D. By giving an example. 5. How many reasons for collecting art toys are mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 6. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “fortune”? fortune n. ①a lot of money ②a person’s future ③chance or luck that influences a person ④good or bad things that happen to a person A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 7. What can we infer from the passage? A. Art toy collecting is good for all. B. Collectors of art toys are famous artists. C. Art toys can be a bridge of communication. D. The best playthings for children are art toys. C Today, it’s more difficult to tell what to trust online. AI-based information is all over the Internet. But not everything that looks like a “fact” is truly a fact. It’s easy to get lost in all that noise. That’s why I was excited to discover World Book recently. Since 1925, the company has printed a new edition of its encyclopedia (百科全书) almost every year. Without thinking twice, I ordered a copy of the 2024 edition. A week later, the encyclopedia arrived in a small but heavy box. I unpacked the 22 books with care. It may sound silly, but I really enjoyed feeling the weight of all that knowledge in my hands. There were no pop-ups (弹窗) or ads. It was just me and knowledge. The encyclopedia keeps up with modern topics. Even sports stars like snowboarder Chloe Kim find their place. So far, I’ve read about 30 entries (条目). They are all accurate (准确的) and well-written. One day, I showed the encyclopedia to my kids. They had never seen a printed encyclopedia before and were surprised by its size. I had hoped these books would help them with their schoolwork, but they were not interested in them at all. After all, teenagers are glued to the Internet and prefer online encyclopedias like Wikipedia. I don’t mind if the encyclopedia is just for me. Every morning at breakfast, I take out a book and step in. The encyclopedia has helped me refresh my knowledge on many subjects. And I’m confident that it’s more trustworthy than any AI writer. 8 What is World Book according to the passage? A. A magazine. B. A company. C. A website. D. A bookstore. 9. Why does the writer mention Chloe Kim in Paragraph 3? A. To introduce her achievements in sports. B. To explain the way of using the encyclopedia. C. To tell people how to know about modern topics. D. To show the encyclopedia is keeping up with the times. 10. Which sentence best shows the writer’s love for the printed encyclopedia? A. It’s easy to get lost in all that noise. B. I showed the encyclopedia to my kids. C. The encyclopedia keeps up with modern topics. D. Every morning at breakfast, I take out a book and step in. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A How the online encyclopedia has developed. B. Why the writer prefers a printed encyclopedia. C. What differences the online and printed books have. D. Where the writer gets the correct AI-based information. D Beep! Beep! Beep! Cody woke up. The alarm? It was Saturday! Then he remembered. It was their first day of training. Cody hurried to meet his friends at the park. He sat next to Michael, whose eyes were almost closed. Ethan handed each of them a manual (使用手册). “Our first day of cross-country season is in two weeks. Make sure to read your running manual before that.” Cody stared at the manual in his hands. “1001 Running Tips?” “Who needs that many tips?” Michael asked. “We do.” Ethan answered. “Who made you our coach (教练) again?” Michael asked. “Remember ‘rock, paper, scissors’?” Cody said. “Ethan won.” Michael sighed to Cody. Ethan went on. “OK, as I said, only two weeks to get ourselves in running shape.” Then, Ethan took out three heavy books and gave them each. Michael raised his book. “Let me guess. You want us to read this too?” “No.” Ethan placed a book on his own head. “Here’s our first exercise. Proper posture is important.” After walking around with books balanced on their heads, Cody said, “I think I’m warmed up. How about going for a run now?” “Do you have enough energy?” Ethan asked “Let’s have a little snack.” After they ate them, Ethan asked, “Are you ready for push-ups?” Cody watched a couple of guys from their school run past. “We’re trying out for cross-country. Don’t you think we should, uh, run?” he asked. Ethan shook his head. “We have to think about our running form. For example, overstriding could cause shin splints.” “I don’t even know what that means,” Cody said. Ethan smiled and pointed to the manual. “Check out number 12 of 1001 Running Tips.” Michael begged. “Please, let’s just get going.” “We still need sunscreen and to drink some water,” Ethan said. When they’d all put on sunscreen and drunk some water, Cody said, “You’ve thought of everything, Ethan.” “Yep. Let’s go,” Michael said, running in place. “I’m not sure we’re ready,” said Ethan. “We won’t know until we try,” Michael said. “Ethan takes the lead,” said Cody. “Good idea.” Ethan said. Cody continued, “But I’ll decide when to start.” Michael smiled widely. “Ready, set…” “Wait,” said Ethan. “Do you think we need to—” Cody clapped his hands. “Go!” 12 What will Cody and his friends probably do two weeks later? A. Read the running manual. B. Have a running race in the park. C. Train for the sports meeting. D. Run for the cross-country season. 13. What does the underlined word “that” refer to? A. The running manual. B. The push-up exercise. C. The example Ethan gave. D. The book on Ethan’s head. 14. What do Cody and Michael probably think of Ethan’s coaching? A. Interesting but tiring. B. Helpful and relaxing. C. Well-planned but unnecessary. D. Important and educational. 15. What can be the best title of the story? A. Ready, Set… Wait! B. Practice Makes Perfect C. Rock, Paper, Scissors! D.
