Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety.
He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However, in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian (守护者), patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter.
In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started. With Mei’s effort, the situation gradually picked up. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more villagers returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.”
Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined.
Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.”
4 What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall?
A. The dream of being a hero. B. The influence of his friends.
C. The poor condition of the Great Wall. D. Encouragement from the villagers.
5. What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Improved. B. Appeared. C. Remained. D. Worsened.
6. Which of the following best describes Mei Jingtian?
A. careful and confident. B. kind-hearted and humorous.
C. creative and curious. D. responsible and strong-willed.
7. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. A lifelong guardian of the Great Wall. B. Villagers’ deep love for the Great Wall.
C. The progress in protecting the Great Wall. D. A Practical Great Wall protection program.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall.

France is famous the world over for its wonderful food. If you were lucky enough to enjoy a French meal, you would most likely be offered some bread to eat with it. The most popular bread they bake is called a baguette. Ten million baguettes are sold every year in France. Because the French expect their bread to be super fresh, most of France’s 30, 000 bakers have to end their day by throwing into the waste bin any remaining baguettes.
Frenchman Franck Wallet has thought about this food waste issue for many years. He originally trained to be an urban (城市的) planner and worked in that area for many years. But his mind would regularly turn to the problems of what to do with wasted food — especially baguettes. He began to talk with some engineers to see if they could come up with a solution. In 2016, a solution was found. They called the machine the “Crumbier”.
When a good baguette is just made, it is crispy on the outside and as soft as a cloud on the inside. Once it has cooled down the bread soon becomes hard. Before the Crumbier, this old bread would be thrown away. Today, if that bread is placed into the Crumbier, it is very quickly turned into very fine breadcrumbs (面包屑). These can be mixed with fresh flour (面粉), salt and water and baked again like normal bread.
Bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs has a darker colour, but just a little bit. The taste is also a little different and has been described as having the flavour of toast. Once the breadcrumbs have been produced, they can last up to six months if they have been packed properly. Because less water is used in Crumbier bread, it will last a little longer. The Crumbier is now on sale and bakers throughout France are making sure they have one. No one wants to waste food.
8. What do most of French bakers do at the end of their day?
A. Prepare the materials for the next day. B. Give the remaining bread out for free.
C. Throw the remaining bread away. D. Sell the bread at a very low price.
9. What did Franck Wallet care about most?
A. The waste of bread. B. The new taste of bread.
C. The freshness of bread. D. The popularity of bread.
10. What is special about the bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs?
A. It has a much darker colour. B. It keeps for a shorter time.
C. It takes less time to bake. D. It tastes like toast.
11. Which word best describes bakers’ attitude to Crumbier in France?
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。法国人Franck Wallet联合工程师发明新机器,解决面包浪费问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Because the French expect their bread to be super fresh, most of France’s 30, 000 bakers have to end their day by throwing into the waste bin any remaining baguettes.(因为法国人希望他们的面包超级新鲜,法国3万名面包师中的大多数人不得不在一天结束时把剩下的法国长棍面包扔进垃圾箱)”可知,法国大多数的面包师会把一天中剩下的面包扔进垃圾桶。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Frenchman Franck Wallet has thought about this food waste issue for many years. He originally trained to be an urban (城市的) planner and worked in that area for many years. But his mind would regularly turn to the problems of what to do with wasted food — especially baguettes.(法国人弗兰克·皮勒多年来一直在思考这个食物浪费问题。他最初是一名城市规划师,并在该领域工作了多年。但他的脑子里经常会想到如何处理浪费掉的食物——尤其是法国长棍面包)”可知,Franck Wallet非常关注面包浪费的问题。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs has a darker colour, but just a little bit. The taste is also a little different and has been described as having the flavour of toast.(用Crumbier面包屑做的面包颜色较深,但只有一点点。味道也有点不同,被形容为有烤吐司的味道)”可知,用Crumbier面包屑制作而成的面包吃起来像吐司。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Crumbier is now on sale and bakers throughout France are making sure they have one. No one wants to waste food.(Crumbier现在正在销售,法国各地的面包师都在确保他们有一个。没有人想浪费食物)”可知,法国面包师们非常看好Crumbier面包机器。故选C。
D
Teenagers who spend more time on after-school activities and less than two hours of screen time after school are more mentally healthy, according to a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine.
The study used information collected from more than 28,000 seventh-grade Canadian students between 2014 and 2018. The students first answered questions about their usage of screen time after school, including how much time they spent watching TV or something else. Then, students reported how many days they had taken part in after-school activities such as sports or arts programmes. After that, researchers asked students to describe their state of mind. For example, when given a statement such as “I start most days thinking that I will have a good day”, they could choose to what level they agreed with it on a scale (等级).
Researchers said in the study some of the results were expected. Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time, for example. And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators (消极指标)of mental health. as earlier research had found that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety compared to boys.
What was noteworthy, researchers say, is that even among students who took part in after-school activities, 46% still went beyond the recommended screen time of two hours. At the same time, 67% of students who didn’t take part in after-school activities also had more than two hours of screen time. Together, this suggests high screen time among teenagers generally.
“The findings suggest that after-school activities are valuable for the happy growing of teenagers,” the study said. “While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic development, the present study shows their importance for good mental health results.”
12. Which of the following came last when students took part in the new study?
A. Talking about their lifestyles.
B. Introducing their after-school activities.
C. Reporting their mental states on a scale.
D. Answering questions about screen time use.
13. What do the researchers find about teenage girls?
A. They often have higher levels of satisfaction.
B. Few of them take part in after-school activities.
C. Anxiety has become a serious problem among them.
D. Too much screen time may be more harmful to them.
14. What does the author want to show by using the numbers in paragraph 4?
A. Earlier findings about screen time are wrong.
B. High screen time is common among teenagers.
C. No after-school activities mean no screen time.
D. Screens attract teenagers more than after-school activities do.
15. Why are after-school activities so important according to the new study?
A. They are good for teenagers’ physical health.
B. They help to improve teenagers’ mental health.
C. They encourage teenagers’ social development.
D. They allow teenagers to become better learners.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述一项研究结果:放学后花更多的时间在课外活动上并且看电子屏幕的时间少于2个小时的学生的心理更加健康。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“After that, researchers asked students to describe their state of mind. For example, when given a statement such as “I start most days thinking that I will have a good day”, they could choose to what level they agreed with it on a scale.(之后,研究人员让学生描述自己的心理状态。例如,当看到 “我开始新的一天时,大多会觉得这会是愉快的一天”这类表述时,学生可以在一个等级量表上选择自己对该表述的认同程度)”可知,学生们用量表报告他们的精神状态是最后一步。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time, for example. And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators of mental health. as earlier research had found that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety compared to boys.(比如,没有课后活动的学生们经常会有更长的时间面对屏幕。并且他们预料到女孩子们在心理健康的消极指标上得分更高,正如以前的研究发现的那样,相对比男孩来说,她们趋向于更加的焦虑)”可知,长时间面对屏幕对女孩子们的心理健康有更大的影响。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Together, this suggests high screen time among teenagers generally.(总之,这表明长时间面对屏幕在青少年之间是很常见的)”可知,在第四段作者用那些数字是为了表明长时间面对电子屏幕的情况在青少年之间是很常见的。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic development, the present study shows their importance for good mental health results.(尽管以前的研究已经证明课后活动对社会和学术发展的重要性,而现在的研究强调了它们对于好的心理健康结果的重要性)”可知,新的研究表明,课后活动对提高青少年的心理健康很重要。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了陕西省首趟汉唐文化主题旅游专列Y592次列车。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:西安是来中国必到的旅游城市,它确实是一本活生生的中国历史书。此处为Xi’an的同位语,且空前有不定冠词A,所以此处应用名词单数形式,tourist attraction意为“旅游景点”。故填attraction。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:国内外的人都来到这座城市,以增进他们对中华文明的了解。at home and abroad为固定短语,意为“在国内外”。故填at。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:国内外的人都来到这座城市,以增进他们对中华文明的了解。修饰名词 knowledge,作定语,应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:兵马俑、西安城墙和华山确实是西安观光的亮点,但是西安的Y592次旅游列车也值得一试。此处为副词truly作状语,修饰系动词are。故填truly。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:Y592次列车是陕西省第一趟汉唐文化主题旅游列车。本句为主系表结构,设空处是本句的系动词;结合语境以及下文中的时态可知,此处表示客观陈述,应用一般现在时;主语The Y592表示单数概念,系动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填is。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意同上。根据空前的Han和Tang可知,此处表示汉朝和唐朝两个朝代,dynasty为可数名词,故用复数形式。故填dynasties。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:通过各种形式的文化装饰,这列主题列车重现了那些古老时代的浓厚氛围,为乘客提供了独特的旅行体验。结合句意可知,experience在此处意为“(一次)经历,体验”,为可数名词,此处表示“一种独特的旅行体验”,应为泛指,所以应使用不定冠词;unique的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:为了帮助乘客更好地领略汉服的美,这趟旅游列车不仅设有展示汉服和盔甲的区域,还设有由专业化妆师值守的特殊化妆区。根据句意可知,此处表示“为了”,表目的,所以使用不定式作目的状语,设空处位于句首,to的首字母应大写。故填To help。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。 句意:在列车内,乘客不仅可以欣赏传统的中国服饰——汉服和盔甲,还能亲身参与服装更换环节,从而在抵达目的地时仿佛穿越了时空。此处作定语,修饰名词短语Chinese clothing,表示“传统的”,应用形容词traditional。故填traditional。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在列车内,乘客不仅可以欣赏传统的中国服饰——汉服和盔甲,还能亲身参与服装更换环节,从而在抵达目的地时仿佛穿越了时空。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词experience,先行词指物,且从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词which或that引导该从句。故填which/that。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据具体内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.
注意:
1.续写词数应为50左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
The next morning. I took out my piggy bank and shook it.

Hearing the noise. my grandfather came over.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
The next morning, I took out my piggy bank and shook it. “There should be a lot of money in it. This is years of my savings,” I said to myself. I was about to break it and withdraw money when my mina came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. However, thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the piggy bank broke into pieces and the coins rolled all over the floor.
Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over. I explained to him what had happened. Having known my thought, he fondly touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you.” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now.” “Thank you, Grandpa,” I was overwhelmed with happiness. From that day on, you would always see me riding my bike on the street, leaving my hearty laughter behind.

Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety.
He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However, in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian (守护者), patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter.
In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started. With Mei’s effort, the situation gradually picked up. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more villagers returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.”
Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined.
Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.”
4. What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall?
A. The dream of being a hero. B. The influence of his friends.
C. The poor condition of the Great Wall. D. Encouragement from the villagers.
5. What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Improved. B. Appeared. C. Remained. D. Worsened.
6. Which of the following best describes Mei Jingtian?
A. careful and confident. B. kind-hearted and humorous.
C. creative and curious. D. responsible and strong-willed.
7. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. A lifelong guardian of the Great Wall. B. Villagers’ deep love for the Great Wall.
C. The progress in protecting the Great Wall. D. A Practical Great Wall protection program.

France is famous the world over for its wonderful food. If you were lucky enough to enjoy a French meal, you would most likely be offered some bread to eat with it. The most popular bread they bake is called a baguette. Ten million baguettes are sold every year in France. Because the French expect their bread to be super fresh, most of France’s 30, 000 bakers have to end their day by throwing into the waste bin any remaining baguettes.
Frenchman Franck Wallet has thought about this food waste issue for many years. He originally trained to be an urban (城市的) planner and worked in that area for many years. But his mind would regularly turn to the problems of what to do with wasted food — especially baguettes. He began to talk with some engineers to see if they could come up with a solution. In 2016, a solution was found. They called the machine the “Crumbier”.
When a good baguette is just made, it is crispy on the outside and as soft as a cloud on the inside. Once it has cooled down the bread soon becomes hard. Before the Crumbier, this old bread would be thrown away. Today, if that bread is placed into the Crumbier, it is very quickly turned into very fine breadcrumbs (面包屑). These can be mixed with fresh flour (面粉), salt and water and baked again like normal bread.
Bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs has a darker colour, but just a little bit. The taste is also a little different and has been described as having the flavour of toast. Once the breadcrumbs have been produced, they can last up to six months if they have been packed properly. Because less water is used in Crumbier bread, it will last a little longer. The Crumbier is now on sale and bakers throughout France are making sure they have one. No one wants to waste food.
8. What do most of French bakers do at the end of their day?
A. Prepare the materials for the next day. B. Give the remaining bread out for free.
C. Throw the remaining bread away. D. Sell the bread at a very low price.
9. What did Franck Wallet care about most?
A. The waste of bread. B. The new taste of bread.
C. The freshness of bread. D. The popularity of bread.
10. What is special about the bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs?
A. It has a much darker colour. B. It keeps for a shorter time.
C. It takes less time to bake. D. It tastes like toast.
11. Which word best describes bakers’ attitude to Crumbier in France?
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
D
Teenagers who spend more time on after-school activities and less than two hours of screen time after school are more mentally healthy, according to a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine.
The study used information collected from more than 28,000 seventh-grade Canadian students between 2014 and 2018. The students first answered questions about their usage of screen time after school, including how much time they spent watching TV or something else. Then, students reported how many days they had taken part in after-school activities such as sports or arts programmes. After that, researchers asked students to describe their state of mind. For example, when given a statement such as “I start most days thinking that I will have a good day”, they could choose to what level they agreed with it on a scale (等级).
Researchers said in the study some of the results were expected. Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time, for example. And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators (消极指标)of mental health. as earlier research had found that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety compared to boys.
What was noteworthy, researchers say, is that even among students who took part in after-school activities, 46% still went beyond the recommended screen time of two hours. At the same time, 67% of students who didn’t take part in after-school activities also had more than two hours of screen time. Together, this suggests high screen time among teenagers generally.
“The findings suggest that after-school activities are valuable for the happy growing of teenagers,” the study said. “While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic development, the present study shows their importance for good mental health results.”
12. Which of the following came last when students took part in the new study?
A. Talking about their lifestyles.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据具体内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.
注意:
1.续写词数应为50左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning. I took out my piggy bank and shook it.
