Sanxingdui Ruins site, Sichuan province As one of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century, the Sanxingdui Ruins are believed to be the remains of the Shu Kingdom, dating back at least 4,800 years and lasting over 2,000 years. The ruins are located in Guanghan city in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, covering 12 square kilometers. The Yinxu Ruins, Henan province The Yinxu Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Anyang city, Henan province, was an ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty (16th century BC-11th century BC).

No one knows who gives the money. There came a time when my husband and I were among those in need. We did not talk about our economic difficulty with any child, but they might notice we had to cut back on many things. Still, we hoped they were not aware of the poor situation, nor of how much their father and I were suffering because of it. Despite our efforts, our situation didn’t improve, and my husband and I had to look for outside help. Just when we felt completely hopeless, we were overjoyed to receive a gift from the church — an envelope with money that helped us through that tough time. We were extremely grateful but couldn’t help wondering who had given such a generous gift. A year later, our seventeen-year-old son was applying for a student loan to attend university, we discovered his savings account was almost empty. We were very upset because we had trusted him to save part of his earnings from his part-time job for his education. He had been working hard since he was nine, and we knew how much effort he had put into saving that money. I asked him repeatedly to tell me where the money had gone. But he would not tell me, which made me much angrier and I decided to find out where the money had gone. Finally, in tears, my son admitted that he had put his savings in the offering box for us willingly. It had taken him years to save that money! I stood there speechless, tears filling my eyes. 4. What did the writer and her husband do with any child when they were in trouble? A. They hid the bad news. B. They told them to work. C. They asked children for cash. D. They sent them to one church. 5. What can we infer from the story? A. The son cheated his parents about the part-time job. B. The parents thought the gift came from the church. C. The son loved his parents and wanted to help them. D. The parents got help from the church all the time. 6. How did the mother feel after knowing the truth? A. Angry. B. Worried. C. Upset. D. Moved. 7. Which of the following can best describe the story? A. Learn from past mistakes. B. Love given, love returned. C. Think twice before acting. D. Rose given, flavor in hand. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了多伦多作者夫妇经济困难时匿名收到教堂捐款，一年后发现是17岁儿子将多年兼职积蓄匿名捐赠，作者得知真相后深受感动，彰显亲情与爱的回馈。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We did not talk about our economic difficulty with any child, but they might notice we had to cut back on many things. Still, we hoped they were not aware of the poor situation, nor of how much their father and I were suffering because of it.(我们没有跟任何孩子谈及我们的经济困境，但他们可能会注意到我们不得不削减很多开支。不过，我们希望他们不会察觉到我们所处的艰难处境，也不会知道我们因之而承受的痛苦程度有多深)”可知，当这对夫妇遇到麻烦时，他们对孩子隐瞒了坏消息。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Just when we felt completely hopeless, we were overjoyed to receive a gift from the church — an envelope with money that helped us through that tough time. We were extremely grateful but couldn’t help wondering who had given such a generous gift.(就在我们几乎感到完全绝望的时候，我们欣喜地收到了教堂送来的礼物——一个装有现金的信封，这笔钱帮助我们度过了那段艰难的时期。我们非常感激，但也不禁好奇是谁送出了如此慷慨的礼物)”以及最后一段“Finally, in tears, my son admitted that he had put his savings in the offering box for us willingly. It had taken him years to save that money!(最后，我的儿子流着泪承认，他自愿把自己的积蓄放进捐款箱给我们用。他为此攒了好几年的钱啊！)”可知，这个儿子爱他的父母，并且想要帮助他们。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Finally, in tears, my son admitted that he had put his savings in the offering box for us willingly. It had taken him years to save that money! I stood there speechless, tears filling my eyes.(最后，我的儿子流着泪承认，他自愿把自己的积蓄放进捐款箱给我们用。他为此攒了好几年的钱啊！我站在那里，一句话也说不出来，泪水盈满了我的眼眶)”可知，这位母亲在得知真相后很感动。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Finally, in tears, my son admitted that he had put his savings in the offering box for us willingly. It had taken him years to save that money! I stood there speechless, tears filling my eyes.(最后，我的儿子流着泪承认，他自愿把自己的积蓄放进捐款箱给我们用。他为此攒了好几年的钱啊！我站在那里，一句话也说不出来，泪水盈满了我的眼眶)”以及文章围绕“父母遭遇困境时，儿子以匿名方式回馈爱与帮助”展开，核心是“爱的付出与回报”。即故事告诉我们“施爱者，必获爱”的道理。故选B。 C Listening to music daily after the age of 70 could greatly lower the risk of developing a brain disease like dementia. A major study from Monash University discovered this by analyzing data from over 10,800 older adults. Those who often listened to music had a much lower chance of suffering from severe memory problems compared to those who seldom did. The research also explored the benefits of playing musical instruments, finding that people who played regularly also saw a significant drop in their risk. The most powerful effects were seen in people who always listened to music. This group not only had a lower risk of the brain disease but also showed better overall thinking abilities and a stronger memory for daily events. Combining both listening and playing music offered even greater protection against mental decline. Researchers suggest that music could be a simple and effective way for older people to maintain their mental health. This finding is especially important as societies around the world face the challenges of an aging population. With people living longer, conditions that affect memory and thinking are becoming more common, creating pressure on families and healthcare systems. Therefore, finding easy-to-use methods to support brain health is a public health priority. According to the lead scientist, with no known cure for such brain diseases, finding ways to prevent or delay them is extremely important. The study adds to evidence that our brain’s health is not fixed. It can be influenced by our personal choices and environment. Thus, activities like listening to or playing music may be powerful lifestyle tools to promote a healthy mind as we age. 8. What benefit did regular music listeners show? A. They never got sick. B. They lived longer than others. C. They all learned to play instruments. D. They had better memory of daily events. 9. Why is music considered a good method for brain health? A. It is a new scientific discovery. B. It is more popular than other activities. C. It is easy for most older people to access. D. It can replace all other medical treatments. 10. What is the key message of the research? A. Brain health is only decided by age and genes. B. Older adults should avoid all social activities. C. Only listening to music is helpful for the mind. D. Lifestyle choices can influence our brain’s aging process. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A New Cure for Brain Diseases B. The Challenges of an Aging Population C. Music: A Simple Way to Protect the Aging Brain D. How to Play a Musical Instrument 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究表明70岁后每天听音乐可降低患痴呆症等脑部疾病的风险，听音乐和演奏音乐对大脑健康有益。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The most powerful effects were seen in people who always listened to music. This group not only had a lower risk of the brain disease but also showed better overall thinking abilities and a stronger memory for daily events.(在经常听音乐的人身上看到了最强大的效果。这群人不仅患脑部疾病的风险较低，而且整体思维能力也更好，对日常事件的记忆力也更强。)”可知，经常听音乐的人对日常事件的记忆力更好。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Therefore, finding easy-to-use methods to support brain health is a public health priority.(因此，寻找易于使用的方法来支持大脑健康是公共卫生的首要任务。)”以及第四段“Thus, activities like listening to or playing music may be powerful lifestyle tools to promote a healthy mind as we age.(因此，像听音乐或演奏音乐这样的活动可能是促进我们随着年龄增长而保持健康心态的有力生活方式工具。)”可知，音乐被认为是促进大脑健康的好方法是因为它对大多数老年人来说很容易接触。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The study adds to evidence that our brain’s health is not fixed. It can be influenced by our personal choices and environment.(这项研究进一步证明，我们的大脑健康并不是固定不变的。它可以受到我们个人选择和环境的影响。)”可知，这项研究的关键信息是生活方式的选择可以影响我们大脑的衰老过程。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Listening to music daily after the age of 70 could greatly lower the risk of developing a brain disease like dementia.(70岁以后每天听音乐可以大大降低患痴呆症等脑部疾病的风险。)”可知，文章主要讲述了一项研究，研究表明70岁后每天听音乐可降低患痴呆症等脑部疾病的风险，听音乐和演奏音乐对大脑健康有益。因此，C选项“Music: A Simple Way to Protect the Aging Brain(音乐：保护衰老大脑的简单方法)”最符合文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选C。 D Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently. According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put the vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers. This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way. In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios. Now, anyone with a camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people communicating with their fans about everyday lives. However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and money. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever. Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him. 12. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers? A. Because vloggers can earn little fame and money on the Internet. B. Because there is too much competition in the traditional show business. C. Because the Internet makes it convenient to become vloggers. D. Because anyone with a camera will surely become a star. 13. What can we infer from the fifth paragraph? A. Only a few vloggers can be successful. B. A vlogger cannot earn fame or money. C. People seldom see the bright side of being a vlogger. D. Dreams will always remain to be dreams. 14. What do young people like David do on the Internet? A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit. C. Hold running races. D. Mix jobs with hobbies. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A Most Britons choose to be vloggers as their jobs now. B. The Internet is influencing young Britons’career choice. C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios. D. Young Britons cannot find jobs without the Internet. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了现在英国年轻人的职业倾向发生了改变。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way. (他们使接触世界上的观众容易许多，不用非要用传统的方式进入表演行业。)”可知，越来越多的英国年轻人选择成为视频博主的原因是网络进入表演行业更加方便，故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. (对于每一个成功者来说，都有另外数百个人从来没有离开过起跑线。)”可知，从事视频博主的人的成功率只有几百分之一，说明只有很少的视频博主能够获得名声和财富，故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him. (例如，年轻的以色列人大卫·勒肖经营着一家名为“终结者俱乐部”的企业。这是一个在线平台，供跑步者记录他们的比赛。他的工作使他能够表达自己的热情，并且始终是一种学习经历。这对他来说已经足够了。)”可知，David就是一个选择将职业和爱好相结合的例子，故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“But today, things stand differently. (但是现在，事情不同了。)”和第三段中“This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. (这种改变无疑是网络和社交媒体的结果。)”可知，现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变是因为网络和社交媒体，所以本文主要以现在互联网影响着英国年轻人的职业选择展开，故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have More Fun at a Theme Park Amusement parks, with their thrilling rides and live entertainment, are loads of fun. ____16____ If you’re visiting a theme park this summer, plan to get the most from your visit with a few smart strategies.

(游乐园有着刺激的游乐设施和现场娱乐活动，非常有趣)”以及下文“If you’re visiting a theme park this summer, plan to get the most from your visit with a few smart strategies. (如果你今年夏天要去主题公园，不妨用几个聪明的策略，让你的游玩收获最大化)”可知，空格处应转折引出游乐园游玩可能存在的问题，从而引出下文的应对策略。G选项“But they can also mean long wait times, crowds and expensive food.(但它们也可能意味着漫长的等待时间、拥挤的人群和昂贵的食物)”与上文构成转折，且点出的问题需要用策略解决，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Before you and your family head to the park, check out its website for information. Check for locations and times for live performances. Find out if you’re allowed to bring refillable water bottles and snacks. Check the weather forecast. (在你和家人前往公园之前，去公园的网站上查询相关信息。查看现场表演的地点和时间。弄清楚是否可以携带可重复装水的水瓶和零食。查看天气预报)”可知，该段主要讲的是游玩前要做的各种信息查询工作。A选项“Do your research.(做好调研)”能够概括该段内容，适合作为段落小标题。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Pack the night before, so you can set off for the park early. (前一晚就收拾好行李，这样你就能早早出发去公园)”以及下文“When you arrive at the park, you can ask park staff the rides they recommended as your first choice. (当你到达公园时，可以询问公园工作人员他们推荐的优先游玩项目)”可知，空格处应说明早到公园的好处。C选项“This helps you avoid long lines.(这能帮你避开长长的队伍)”中的This指代上文“早早出发”的行为，且是早到的合理好处，符合语境。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据小标题“Build in breaks (安排休息时间)”以及下文“Going to one of the park’s shows in a shaded or air-conditioned area is a great way to cool off and recharge between rides. (在游乐设施间隙，去公园阴凉处或空调房里看一场表演，是很好的消暑和恢复精力的方式)”可知，空格处应点明需要休息的原因。E选项“Theme parks can be exciting — and tiring.(主题公园可能既令人兴奋，又让人疲惫)”既呼应了游乐园的特点，又解释了安排休息的必要性，符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Sometimes an attraction is temporarily closed for repairs or design updates, which can be disappointing. You can use that extra time to explore a new ride, or go for a second spin on one of your favorites. (有时某个景点会因维修或升级暂时关闭，这可能会让人失望。你可以利用这段额外的时间去探索一个新的游乐设施，或者再玩一次你最喜欢的项目)”可知，空格处应总结这种灵活调整的目的。D选项“After all, the goal is to have fun.(毕竟，游玩的目的是开心)”点明了灵活应对突发情况的核心原则，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, my good friend Leo and I, both ___21___ to challenge ourselves, joined a survival camp in the forest.

Cupcakes turned us into fierce competitors. As we prepared for the annual Baking Competition at the Baking Club, I confidently told her, “Prepare to be amazed.” She shot me a skeptical look. The event was packed with family and friends, and I was determined to beat last year’s champion, Dayna. Mrs. Cooper from Cathy’s Cupcake and Donut Depot kicked off the competition by announcing that the first round was to bake mini cupcakes. The clock started ticking. Measuring spoons pinged against bowls. Clouds of flour settled on the countertops. Mixers whirred. Everything was going perfectly, and I tasted my creation. Mmm. Bright and amazing. Then I glanced over to see how Dayna was doing. She had accidentally dropped a dozen eggs! I turned off my mixer and rushed over to her station to help her clean up, praying my good deed wouldn’t ruin my chances. After the mess was cleared, everyone including Dayna continued baking, and the judges tasted our cupcakes. When the results came in, I was thrilled to hear my name called for Round 2 alongside Dayna and a few others. The challenge this time was to bake standard cupcakes, but just then, I realized I’d forgotten to bring my candies for decoration. In a panic, I signaled Dayna, who kindly offered butter crackers and banana chips. Thanks to her, I was back on track. As we worked through the round, Mrs. Cooper announced that Dayna and I were moving on to the final round: colossal cupcakes (巨型杯子蛋糕). I made it. Whew. I can’t let her win again. “You showed some mad skills, Isaac,” Dayna said, her voice laced with respect. I shrugged. “You too. Thanks for saving me before.” “No problem. May the best baker win,” she said. I smiled. “Enough with the pleasantries. Now I’m out for sweet revenge.” Dayna narrowed her eyes. “Bring it.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Final round. I sprang into action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After a tense few minutes, the winner was announced: “Isaac!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Final round. I sprang into action. Measuring and mixing, I grated dark chocolate and sprinkled it over the dough, determined to create a showstopper. Dayna wouldn’t know what hit her. I filled each cupcake mold and got my colossals into the oven. At Dayna’s station, three different layers — chocolate, vanilla and strawberry — sat ready. That would be a masterpiece. Unfortunately, the beautiful layered look she wanted was turning into a tie-dye effect. Still, she wasn’t giving up. At last, my colossal cupcakes were nothing short of elegance. Dayna’s turned out way better than I’d expected. As we waited for the final results, Dayna expressed doubt about her cupcakes, but I wasn’t sure of my own outcome either. After a tense few minutes, the winner was announced: “Isaac!” I blinked with disbelief. As thunderous applause erupted, I gave a small bow. “Congratulations, Isaac!” My best friend clapped along with the crowd. I gave Dayna a shy smile. “Couldn’t have done it without you, Dayna. Thanks for saving me before.” Despite the competition, we were still a team, and that night, I called Dayna to discuss our next move. “So now we’re tied,” I said. “One win each.” She asked, “Already planning for next year?” I replied with a grin, “You can bet on it!” In that moment, I realized that no matter what the outcome was, our friendship was the sweetest victory of all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物参加烘焙比赛为线索展开，讲述了Dayna和作者是最好的朋友，也是烘焙比赛的竞争对手。比赛中，Dayna打碎鸡蛋，作者帮她清理；随后作者忘记带装饰品，Dayna主动提供帮助。两人一路进入决赛，各自制作了精致的巨型纸杯蛋糕。最终，作者赢得比赛，但作者意识到Dayna的帮助至关重要。尽管竞争激烈，两人的友谊更加牢固，作者意识到友谊是最珍贵的胜利。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后一轮。我立即行动起来”可知，第一段可描写作者精心制作自己的巨型纸杯蛋糕，一切很顺利，另一边Dayna的制作遇到了一点波折，但她没有放弃，两人完成作品后，焦急地等待最终的结果。 ②由第二段首句内容“紧张的几分钟后，获胜者宣布了：‘Isaac！’”可知，第二段可描写作者得到大家的掌声，Dayna也表示祝贺，作者表达对Dayna的感谢，赛后Dayna和作者交流，两人计划明年的比赛，作者意识到友谊的珍贵。 2. 续写线索：最后一轮比赛——作者制作顺利——Dayna制作遇到波折——作者获胜——Dayna祝贺，作者感谢——友好讨论，作者的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：give up/quit ②预期：expect/anticipate ③表达：express/convey/articulate ④回复：reply/respond ⑤意识到：realize/recognize/be aware of 情绪类 ①不幸地：unfortunately/unluckily/tragically ②怀疑：doubt/disbelief/skepticism 【点睛】[高分句型1] Dayna wouldn’t know what hit her.

Zhoukoudian, Beijing Zhoukoudian, a UNESCO heritage site located 50 km from downtown Beijing, has been a significant site. At various parts of the site, scientists have unearthed the remains of early human “Peking Man” that date back more than 500,000 years, as well as of “Shandingdong Man”, who lived 30,000 years ago. Sanxingdui Ruins site, Sichuan province As one of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century, the Sanxingdui Ruins are believed to be the remains of the Shu Kingdom, dating back at least 4,800 years and lasting over 2,000 years. The ruins are located in Guanghan city in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, covering 12 square kilometers. The Yinxu Ruins, Henan province The Yinxu Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Anyang city, Henan province, was an ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty (16th century BC-11th century BC). Spreading across over 30 square kilometers, the site features the greatest number of oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文) discovered so far in the world. The Daming Palace, Shaanxi province Famous for its super-large scale and magnificent buildings, Daming Palace was the main royal palace in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) where Tang emperors lived and dealt with state affairs. Covering 3.2 square kilometers, it fully demonstrates the majestic style of grand architecture during the Tang empire. 1. Which site reflects the earliest human? A. Zhoukoudian. B. The Yinxu Ruins. C. The Daming Palace. D. Sanxingdui Ruins site. 2. What is the Yinxu Ruins known for? A. The grand architecture. B. Oracle bone inscriptions. C. Royal palace in the Tang Dynasty. D. The remains of the Shu Kingdom. 3. Where can the text probably be found? A. In a novel. B. In a biography. C. In a history book. D. In a guidebook. B Our church in Toronto has a unique way to help those who are in trouble: cash is placed in an envelope with only the name of the person who needs help. No one knows who gives the money. There came a time when my husband and I were among those in need. We did not talk about our economic difficulty with any child, but they might notice we had to cut back on many things. Still, we hoped they were not aware of the poor situation, nor of how much their father and I were suffering because of it. Despite our efforts, our situation didn’t improve, and my husband and I had to look for outside help. Just when we felt completely hopeless, we were overjoyed to receive a gift from the church — an envelope with money that helped us through that tough time. We were extremely grateful but couldn’t help wondering who had given such a generous gift. A year later, our seventeen-year-old son was applying for a student loan to attend university, we discovered his savings account was almost empty. We were very upset because we had trusted him to save part of his earnings from his part-time job for his education. He had been working hard since he was nine, and we knew how much effort he had put into saving that money. I asked him repeatedly to tell me where the money had gone. But he would not tell me, which made me much angrier and I decided to find out where the money had gone. Finally, in tears, my son admitted that he had put his savings in the offering box for us willingly. It had taken him years to save that money! I stood there speechless, tears filling my eyes. 4. What did the writer and her husband do with any child when they were in trouble? A. They hid the bad news. B. They told them to work. C. They asked children for cash. D. They sent them to one church. 5. What can we infer from the story? A. The son cheated his parents about the part-time job. B. The parents thought the gift came from the church. C. The son loved his parents and wanted to help them. D. The parents got help from the church all the time. 6. How did the mother feel after knowing the truth? A. Angry. B. Worried. C. Upset. D. Moved. 7. Which of the following can best describe the story? A. Learn from past mistakes. B. Love given, love returned. C. Think twice before acting. D. Rose given flavor in hand. C Listening to music daily after the age of 70 could greatly lower the risk of developing a brain disease like dementia. A major study from Monash University discovered this by analyzing data from over 10,800 older adults. Those who often listened to music had a much lower chance of suffering from severe memory problems compared to those who seldom did. The research also explored the benefits of playing musical instruments, finding that people who played regularly also saw a significant drop in their risk. The most powerful effects were seen in people who always listened to music. This group not only had a lower risk of the brain disease but also showed better overall thinking abilities and a stronger memory for daily events. Combining both listening and playing music offered even greater protection against mental decline. Researchers suggest that music could be a simple and effective way for older people to maintain their mental health. This finding is especially important as societies around the world face the challenges of an aging population. With people living longer, conditions that affect memory and thinking are becoming more common, creating pressure on families and healthcare systems. Therefore, finding easy-to-use methods to support brain health is a public health priority. According to the lead scientist, with no known cure for such brain diseases, finding ways to prevent or delay them is extremely important. The study adds to evidence that our brain’s health is not fixed. It can be influenced by our personal choices and environment. Thus, activities like listening to or playing music may be powerful lifestyle tools to promote a healthy mind as we age. 8. What benefit did regular music listeners show? A. They never got sick. B. They lived longer than others. C. They all learned to play instruments. D. They had better memory of daily events. 9. Why is music considered a good method for brain health? A. It is a new scientific discovery. B. It is more popular than other activities. C. It is easy for most older people to access. D. It can replace all other medical treatments. 10. What is the key message of the research? A. Brain health is only decided by age and genes. B. Older adults should avoid all social activities. C. Only listening to music is helpful for the mind. D. Lifestyle choices can influence our brain’s aging process. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A New Cure for Brain Diseases B. The Challenges of an Aging Population C. Music: A Simple Way to Protect the Aging Brain D. How to Play a Musical Instrument D Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently. According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put the vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers. This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way. In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios. Now, anyone with a camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people communicating with their fans about everyday lives. However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and money. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever. Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him. 12. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers? A. Because vloggers can earn little fame and money on the Internet. B. Because there is too much competition in the traditional show business. C Because the Internet makes it convenient to become vloggers. D. Because anyone with a camera will surely become a star. 13. What can we infer from the fifth paragraph? A. Only a few vloggers can be successful. B A vlogger cannot earn fame or money. C. People seldom see the bright side of being a vlogger. D. Dreams will always remain to be dreams. 14. What do young people like David do on the Internet? A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit. C. Hold running races. D. Mix jobs with hobbies. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A.

Cupcakes turned us into fierce competitors. As we prepared for the annual Baking Competition at the Baking Club, I confidently told her, “Prepare to be amazed.” She shot me a skeptical look. The event was packed with family and friends, and I was determined to beat last year’s champion, Dayna. Mrs. Cooper from Cathy’s Cupcake and Donut Depot kicked off the competition by announcing that the first round was to bake mini cupcakes. The clock started ticking. Measuring spoons pinged against bowls. Clouds of flour settled on the countertops. Mixers whirred. Everything was going perfectly, and I tasted my creation. Mmm. Bright and amazing. Then I glanced over to see how Dayna was doing. She had accidentally dropped a dozen eggs! I turned off my mixer and rushed over to her station to help her clean up, praying my good deed wouldn’t ruin my chances. After the mess was cleared, everyone including Dayna continued baking, and the judges tasted our cupcakes. When the results came in, I was thrilled to hear my name called for Round 2 alongside Dayna and a few others. The challenge this time was to bake standard cupcakes, but just then, I realized I’d forgotten to bring my candies for decoration. In a panic, I signaled Dayna, who kindly offered butter crackers and banana chips. Thanks to her, I was back on track. As we worked through the round, Mrs. Cooper announced that Dayna and I were moving on to the final round: colossal cupcakes (巨型杯子蛋糕). I made it. Whew. I can’t let her win again. “You showed some mad skills, Isaac,” Dayna said, her voice laced with respect. I shrugged. “You too. Thanks for saving me before.” “No problem. May the best baker win,” she said. I smiled “Enough with the pleasantries. Now I’m out for sweet revenge.” Dayna narrowed her eyes. “Bring it.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Final round. I sprang into action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After a tense few minutes, the winner was announced: “Isaac!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
