The price of gold fell sharply. In fact, it was the sharpest one-day drop in twelve years. The price of silver also fell a lot on the same day. This sudden change caught the attention of many people. ②Why did the prices of these precious metals (贵金属) fall so much? There are a few main reasons. First, global tensions (紧张) seemed to relax slightly. When there is less worry in the world, some people sell their gold. Second, the price of gold has risen very high this year. Many investors (投资者) decided to sell their gold to keep their profits. This is called profit-taking. Also, the US dollar became stronger, which often makes gold more expensive for people using other currencies (货币). ③What do experts think will happen next? Some believe this is just a short-term drop. They say the main reasons for owning gold are still strong. For example, central banks in many countries are still buying gold to protect their money. Other experts are more careful. They warn that if people stop buying gold, the price could stay lower. Big banks like Goldman Sachs and HSBC still believe the price of gold will be higher in the coming years. ④This price drop influences different people in different ways. For those who buy gold jewelry, like rings or necklaces, it has suddenly become cheaper. However, for companies that mine gold, it means they will make less money.

Thieves managed to steal several incredibly expensive historical jewels (珠宝). The whole event was over in just seven minutes. Because of this, the museum had to close for the entire day to investigate (调查) what happened and to keep everyone safe. According to the police, a group of four people was involved. To get inside, two of them pretended (假装) to be construction workers (建筑工). They wore yellow vests and used a lift from a nearby building to enter the museum secretly. Once they were inside the jewelry gallery (展厅), they used special tools to break the strong glass of the display cases (陈列柜) and took the precious items. They then ran away quickly on motorbikes. Fortunately, none of the museum workers or visitors were hurt. The stolen items were not just expensive; they were important pieces of history from the time of Napoleon (拿破仑). In total, nine jewels were taken. Later, the good news was that two of them were found. Sadly, one of them, a beautiful crown (王冠) that belonged to Empress Eugénie, was found badly damaged. A very famous and large diamond called the “Regent Diamond” was not stolen because it was kept in a different case. The French President, Mr. Macron, said this theft was a terrible attack on France’s cultural heritage (遗产).The police are now working hard to find the thieves. They found a helmet (头盔). One thief left it behind. It could provide important clues. The Louvre Museum is also planning to make its security (安保) much stronger to prevent anything like this from happening again. 61.

The helmet found by the police might provide important clues to find the thieves. 65. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To advertise a visit to the Louvre Museum. B.

B A new Chinese animated (动画的) movie Little Monsters from Langlang Mountain (《浪浪山小妖怪》)came out on August 2nd, 2025.

He dreams of entering the King’s cave but accidentally makes the king angry. Then he leaves Langlang Mountain with his childhood friend, a toad (蛤蟆) monster. They meet a weasel (黄鼠狼) monster and an orangutan (猩猩) monster, forming a “grassroots (草根的) scripture-taking group”. These four monsters become the main characters, pretending to be the Tang Monk and his disciples (徒弟) on a westward journey. The movie has special features. The characters are designed to be close to ordinary people, cute and lively. The art mixes traditional Chinese painting with movie light effects, making each scene like a moving Chinese painting. The sound uses waves and insect sounds to create a summer feeling, with traditional instruments adding fun. This movie shows small characters’ dreams and struggles.

C ①On October 21, 2025, something surprising happened in the financial (金融) world. The price of gold fell sharply. In fact, it was the sharpest one-day drop in twelve years. The price of silver also fell a lot on the same day. This sudden change caught the attention of many people. ②Why did the prices of these precious metals (贵金属) fall so much? There are a few main reasons. First, global tensions (紧张) seemed to relax slightly. When there is less worry in the world, some people sell their gold. Second, the price of gold has risen very high this year. Many investors (投资者) decided to sell their gold to keep their profits. This is called profit-taking. Also, the US dollar became stronger, which often makes gold more expensive for people using other currencies (货币). ③What do experts think will happen next? Some believe this is just a short-term drop. They say the main reasons for owning gold are still strong. For example, central banks in many countries are still buying gold to protect their money. Other experts are more careful. They warn that if people stop buying gold, the price could stay lower. Big banks like Goldman Sachs and HSBC still believe the price of gold will be higher in the coming years. ④This price drop influences different people in different ways. For those who buy gold jewelry, like rings or necklaces, it has suddenly become cheaper. However, for companies that mine gold, it means they will make less money. For regular investors, experts suggest it is important to be careful and not make quick decisions based on short-term changes. 56. What happened to the price of gold on October 21, 2025? A. It reached a record high. B. It stayed the same as before. C. It experienced a sharp one-day drop. D. It only changed a little bit. 57 Which is NOT a reason for the price drop? A. The world situation made people feel relaxed. B. Investors were selling to keep their profits. C. Central banks stopped buying gold completely. D. The US dollar became stronger. 58. What does the underlined word “profit-taking” in Paragraph 2 most likely mean? A. Losing money from an investment. B. Selling something to keep the money you have made. C. Buying something at a low price. D. Giving away your profits to others. 59. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. All experts agree that the price of gold will never rise again. B. There are different opinions about the future price of gold. C. Central banks have no effect on the price of gold. D. The price drop has made all banks stop believing in gold. 60. Where would you most likely find this passage? A. In a science textbook. B. In a storybook. C. In a news report. D. In a guidebook. D On the morning of October 19, 2025, something unbelievable happened at the famous Louvre Museum in Paris. Thieves managed to steal several incredibly expensive historical jewels (珠宝). The whole event was over in just seven minutes. Because of this, the museum had to close for the entire day to investigate (调查) what happened and to keep everyone safe. According to the police, a group of four people was involved. To get inside, two of them pretended (假装) to be construction workers (建筑工). They wore yellow vests and used a lift from a nearby building to enter the museum secretly. Once they were inside the jewelry gallery (展厅), they used special tools to break the strong glass of the display cases (陈列柜) and took the precious items. They then ran away quickly on motorbikes. Fortunately, none of the museum workers or visitors were hurt. The stolen items were not just expensive; they were important pieces of history from the time of Napoleon (拿破仑). In total, nine jewels were taken. Later, the good news was that two of them were found. Sadly, one of them, a beautiful crown (王冠) that belonged to Empress Eugénie, was found badly damaged. A very famous and large diamond called the “Regent Diamond” was not stolen because it was kept in a different case. The French President, Mr. Macron, said this theft was a terrible attack on France’s cultural heritage (遗产).The police are now working hard to find the thieves. They found a helmet (头盔). One thief left it behind. It could provide important clues. The Louvre Museum is also planning to make its security (安保) much stronger to prevent anything like this from happening again. 61. How long did the entire theft event last? A. The whole day. B. Just seven minutes. C. The whole morning. D. A few hours. 62. What did the thieves use to break the glass? A. Their hands. B. Special tools. C. Motorcycles. D. A yellow vest. 63. What is the correct order of the thieves’ actions? ①They secretly entered the Louvre in a nearby building’s lift. ②They used special tools to break the jewelry display cases. ③Two thieves pretended to be construction workers in yellow vests. ④The group ran away on motorbikes with the stolen jewels. A. ③①②④ B. ①②③④ C. ②③④① D. ③④①② 64. What can be inferred from the passage? A. All the stolen jewels have been found and are in good condition. B. The Louvre Museum does not plan to improve its security after the theft. C. Some museum workers were hurt during the theft. D. The helmet found by the police might provide important clues to find the thieves. 65. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To advertise a visit to the Louvre Museum. B. To tell a funny story about some thieves. C. To report a real crime that happened in a museum. D. To teach the history of French kings and queens. 第II卷 非选择题（65分） 五、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填1个单词。 It Takes Two It Takes Two (《双人成行》) is a video game. Players play a pair of parents, Cody and May. They decide to divorce, but their daughter Rose wishes them to get back together. The two then magically became dolls made by Rose. To work out problems, they have to work together. This helps them repair their relationship. It Takes Two is not only a game. It also shows us deeper meanings of life. A good relationship needs to stand tests. Life can’t only be sweet. Challenges can make us hold each other tighter. If you don’t experience difficulties in your life, how can you know the value of life? We will only hold the little things in our lives after they are lost. Punishing: Gray Raven Punishing: Gray Raven (《战双帕弥什》) is one of my favorite mobile games. This game has a big world background, and the story takes place in the future. The technology of human beings makes progress. However, a really bad virus called “Punishing” breaks out and spreads quickly around the world. So, humans have to move into space and make many human-like robots. Players act as commanders and work with others to fight the virus. This game is very exciting and looks beautiful. For me, the game teaches me the value of teamwork and shows me the importance of peace. Mini World Mini World (《迷你世界》) is a sandbox game like Minecraft. I like it because its scenes are like cartoons and very beautiful. Players can build their own houses and decorate them. Then they can share them with other players. I think the game can let me show my creativity. I can build whatever I want, such as my own castle. Players also can “live” in the game and go on their own adventures. This is the survival mode. They can also play with friends as a team for adventures. In the game, there are also many mini games. Other players created them. For example, you can play parkour (跑酷) in the game, and see who can finish the challenge first. These mini games are more interesting if you play with your friends!
