People built it over 2,000 years ago to protect their country from enemies. It is very, very long—about 21,196 kilometers, making it the longest wall in the world. It was made of stone, brick, and earth. Today, many parts of the wall are open to visitors from all over the world. Machu Picchu, Peru High in the mountains of Peru, you can find this amazing old city. The Inca people built it around 1450. It is located on a high mountain ridge, about 2,430 meters above sea level. People left the city long ago, and it was hidden in the forest until 1911. The buildings are special because the stones fit together perfectly without using anything to stick them. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt These giant stone structures (建筑) are in Egypt. People built them around 2560 BC as tombs for their kings, called pharaohs. The Great Pyramid is the only one still standing from the ancient “Seven Wonders of the World”. To build it, workers used about 2.3 million large stone blocks, and each block was very heavy. Great Barrier Reef, Australia This is the world’s largest coral reef (珊瑚礁). It is not a building, but a huge natural structure made by tiny sea animals. It has over 2,900 individual reefs. More than 1,500 kinds of fish and 600 kinds of coral live there, making it very colorful and full of life. Sadly, it is now in danger due to the warming sea and pollution, which hurts the coral. 23．Which wonder was built to protect the country? A．Machu Picchu. B．The Great Wall of China. C．The Pyramids of Giza. D．The Great Barrier Reef. 24．We can learn from the text that the Great Barrier Reef ▲ . A．is the oldest wonder on the list B．was built by ancient people C．may lose some coral because of climate (气候) change D．is the longest man-made structure in the world 25．What do the four wonders have in common? A．They are all in Asia. B．They are all in danger from pollution. C．They are all world-famous. D．They are all made by people. 【答案】23．B 24．C 25．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章依次介绍了四处世界知名奇观：中国长城、秘鲁马丘比丘、埃及吉萨金字塔、澳大利亚大堡礁，展现了这些奇观的独特价值与特点。 23．细节理解题。根据“Great Wall of China...People built it over 2,000 years ago to protect their country from enemies.”可知，人们在2000多年前建造长城，是为了保卫国家免受敌人侵袭。故选B。 24．推理判断题。根据“Great Barrier Reef...it is now in danger due to the warming sea and pollution, which hurts the coral.”可知，大堡礁因海水变暖和污染而处于危险中，这会伤害珊瑚，海水变暖正是气候变化的核心表现之一，因此可以合理推断气候变化可能导致珊瑚损失。故选C。 25．推理判断题。通读全文，四处奇观都是全球公认的标志性景观，文中描述也使用了“most famous landmarks”、“amazing”、“only one still standing from the ancient ‘Seven Wonders’”、“world’s largest”等词语，都体现了其极高的知名度和重要性。故选C。 B One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. She could not afford a present, so she sat down and cried. Jim and Della had two possessions (财物) which they were both proud of. One was Jim’s gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather. The other was Della’s beautiful hair. It fell about her, and reached below her knee. Della put on her old brown jacket and her old brown hat. Then she went out of the door and down the stairs to the street. She stopped at a store. The sign in front of the store read “Hair Goods”. “Will you buy my hair?” asked Della. “Twenty dollars,” the woman said. Then Della searched through the stores looking for a present for Jim. She found it at last. It was a watch chain (表链). The bill was twenty-one dollars. At seven o’clock, the coffee was made and dinner was ready. Jim was never late. Della heard his steps on the stairs. The door opened and Jim walked in. He stopped inside the door. His eyes were fixed on Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not understand. “Jim,” she cried, “don’t look at me that way. I sold my hair to buy you a Christmas present.” Jim drew a box from his pocket and put it on the table. Della opened it. There lay the set of combs that she had always wanted. Now they were hers, but her hair was gone. She smiled and held out Jim’s present. “I hunted all over town to find it. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.” Instead of giving her the watch, Jim sat down, put his hands behind his head and smiled. “I’m sorry, Della,” he said, “but I’m happy we did the same thing. ________” 26．Which of the following is the most valuable to Della? A．The money. B．The combs. C．Jim’s watch. D．Jim’s love. 27．What did the expression in Jim’s eyes mean when he saw Della? A．He was cheerful but angry. B．He was excited but afraid. C．He was surprised but sad. D．He was curious but worried. 28．What did Jim most probably say at the end of the story? A．You must be excited that I bought you the combs. B．You know how much I’ve always wanted a watch chain. C．I sold my watch to get the money to buy you the combs. D．I can’t wait to see how good it looks on my gold watch. 【答案】26．D 27．C 28．C 【导语】本文节选自短篇小说《麦琪的礼物》，讲述了一对贫穷但彼此深爱的夫妻德拉和吉姆的圣诞故事。 26．推理判断题。根据“Jim and Della had two possessions which they were both proud of. One was Jim’s gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather. The other was Della’s beautiful hair...‘Jim,’ she cried, ‘don’t look at me that way. I sold my hair to buy you a Christmas present.’”可知，Della最珍视的两样东西是吉姆的祖传金表和自己的长发，但她愿意卖掉自己引以为傲的长发，只为给吉姆买圣诞礼物。通过这一行为可推知，对Della来说，金钱、梳子、金表都比不上吉姆的爱珍贵。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据“He stopped inside the door. His eyes were fixed on Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not understand...Della opened it. There lay the set of combs that she had always wanted.”可知，吉姆提前卖掉了自己的金表，给Della买了她梦寐以求的梳子。当他回家看到Della剪掉了长发时，一方面会因Della的形象变化而感到惊讶，另一方面会因自己买的梳子失去了用武之地而感到难过，所以眼神里才会有Della读不懂的复杂情绪。故选C。 28．推理判断题。根据“She found it at last. It was a watch chain. The bill was twenty-one dollars...Della opened it. There lay the set of combs that she had always wanted...but I’m happy we did the same thing.”可知，Della的“付出”是卖掉长发换钱买表链，吉姆说“我们做了一样的事”，意味着吉姆也牺牲了自己的珍贵物品。结合吉姆买了梳子的情节可以推断，他的付出就是卖掉祖传金表换钱买梳子。故选C。 C Growing up, we have heard a lot of stereotypes (刻板印象) of how sex (性别) influences interests and jobs. For example, boys do math better than girls, while girls are better at learning languages. We usually think this is because of differences in how boys’ and girls’ brains work. But is it true? According to past research, some parts of our brains can be different in size. Scientists used to think these differences might influence how well men and women think and do things. They discovered this by scanning (扫描) people’s brains. However, in most of the research, researchers only scanned several hundred people. As said in a 2022 study, for such research to be believable, you would need more samples (样本) of scanning the brains of a few thousand people at least. In 2021, the UK Biobank, a big database (数据库) used for research, scanned the brains of 40,000 people in the UK, providing new insights. It showed differences between men and women in the size of certain brain parts. About 33% of these parts were found to be larger in men, while another 33% of these parts were larger in women. However, these differences were very small, often just a size difference in percentage (百分比). The differences are not big enough to form a conclusion (结论) from them, Camille Williams from the University of Texas at Austin, US, told New Scientist. Also, our brains might change in structure (结构) and size according to our life experiences. For example, even if a part of a man’s brain, responsible for doing math, is larger than that of a woman, it is possibly because he takes jobs which use math skills. So, any brain differences between men and women could be a result, not a reason, of different roles in life and society, said New Scientist. 29．How does the writer organize the passage? A．By listing different opinions about the same topic. B．By giving examples first and then making a conclusion. C．By comparing past research with new one all the time. D．By showing a problem, discussing research and then giving the result. 30．What does the writer think of the past research? A．Scanning people’s brains is not helpful. B．It helps people better understand themselves. C．Its result was believable. D．Their sample sizes were too small. 31．What does the underlined word “insights” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Understandings. B．Problems. C．Questions. D．Plans. 32．Which of the following sentences is true? A．Life experiences can lead to changes in the structure and size of our brains. B．The differences in brain size are the main reason of different interests and jobs. C．Scientists are sure that brain differences decide how people think and do things. D．The UK Biobank found huge differences in brain size between men and women. 【答案】29．D 30．D 31．A 32．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了关于性别与大脑结构差异的传统刻板印象，并引用新的科学研究来指出这些差异可能非常微小，且更可能是社会角色和生活经验的结果，而非原因。 29．篇章结构题。根据“Growing up, we’ve heard a lot of stereotypes (刻板印象) of how sex (性别) influences interests and jobs...But is it true?”可知首段提出性别刻板印象问题（problem）；根据“According to past studies...”可知第二段讨论过去小样本研究的局限性（past studies）；根据“In 2021, the UK Biobank, a big database used for research, scanned the brains of 40,000 people in the UK”以及“Also, our brains might change in structure (结构) and size according to our life experiences.”可知第三至五段引入新的大规模研究（UK Biobank）并分析结果（discussing studies），因此全文脉络为“问题-研究分析-结论”，故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据“However, in most of the research, researchers only scanned several hundred people... you would need more samples of scanning the brains of a few thousand people at least.”可知，作者认为以往研究的样本量太小。故选D。 31．词句猜测题。根据“It showed differences between men and women in the size of certain brain parts...providing new insights.”前一句说“显示了差异”，后一句说“提供了新的 insights”，结合上下文，这里的 insights 应指基于新数据产生的“新的理解或认识”。故选A。 32．细节理解题。根据“Also, our brains might change in structure and size according to our life experiences.”可知，生活经历可能导致我们大脑结构和大小发生变化。故选A。 D China’s Tiangong Space Station welcomed a new thing — a special hot-air oven! Recently, astronauts from the Shenzhou-21 and Shenzhou-20 missions used this device successfully for the first time in space. This is an important step to improve Chinese astronauts’ dining experience in orbit. Now, they can enjoy tasty baked (烤的) food even hundreds of kilometers away from Earth.​ Before this new invention, most space food was cooked beforehand and ready to eat. There were not many choices for taste and texture. The new oven has greatly made the space menu more varied (多种多样的). Astronauts have already tried baking popular dishes like “Orleans-style” chicken wings and black pepper beef steak. A video from the space station showed them putting the chicken wings into the oven carefully. After 28 minutes of exact heating, the delicious and soft chicken wings were done. The astronauts liked them very much.​ However, baking in space brings special challenges. Liu Weibo, an expert in space life support technology, explained that the main difficulties are dealing with smoke and oil fumes (油烟). These could make the space station’s air dirty. The specially designed oven uses new technologies to clean smoke and collect oil. This makes sure the air in the cabin (船舱) stays clean. Besides, the oven is made to be strong and long-lasting. It can work well at least 500 times to meet the needs of long space missions.​ The new oven is part of China’s ongoing work to make astronauts’ living conditions better in space. Now, the space station has more than 190 kinds of food. The menu is updated every 10 days to give different and healthy food choices. Apart from the oven, the “space garden” on the station is also growing well. Astronauts have successfully grown fresh vegetables like lettuce and cherry tomatoes. These add more fresh food to their meals.​ “When astronauts stay in a small space for months, eating self-baked food not only makes their taste buds happy but also brings great mental (精神的) comfort,” Liu Weibo said. It turns out that a nice and delicious meal is always the best comfort — even in the huge space far from Earth. 33．What is the main difficulty of baking in space? A．Not having enough baking materials on board. B．Having no fixed heating time for baking food. C．Dealing with smoke and oil fumes properly. D．Having little space to place the baking oven. 34．What does China’s effort to improve space food show? A．Chinese government pays little attention to astronauts’ needs. B．China is developing modern space life support technologies. C．Enough food is the most important thing in our space station. D．Astronauts only care about the taste of their everyday meals. 35．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Astronauts will grow fresh vegetables in space garden. B．Difficult challenges of space baking and our solutions. C．A special hot-air oven on Tiangong and its importance. D．The variety of food provided on China’s space station. 36．Which of the following shows the proper use of the special hot-air oven’s design idea? A．Baking cookies in a home kitchen with good ventilation. B．Using a smoke-free small oven in a closed camping tent. C．Heating cold rice for many students in a school cafeteria. D．Cooking vegetable meat soup for a big family at a picnic. 【答案】33．C 34．B 35．C 36．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国天宫空间站配备的特殊热风烤箱，它成功解决太空烘焙的烟雾难题，显著提升了宇航员的饮食体验与生活质量。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, baking in space brings special challenges. Liu Weibo, an expert in space life support technology, explained that the main difficulties are dealing with smoke and oil fumes (油烟).”可知，太空烘焙的主要困难是正确处理烟雾和油烟。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The specially designed oven uses new technologies to clean smoke and collect oil.”，第四段中“The new oven is part of China’s ongoing work to make astronauts’ living conditions better in space.”以及后文对菜单更新、太空花园等的描述可知，中国正持续发展现代空间生命支持技术，提升航天员在轨生活质量。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇介绍天宫空间站迎来了特殊热风烤箱，后续围绕烤箱的使用、带来的饮食改善、面临的技术挑战及它对提升宇航员生活质量的重要性展开。所以，全文核心是“天宫的特殊热风烤箱及其重要性”。故选C。 36．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The specially designed oven uses new technologies to clean smoke and collect oil. This makes sure the air in the cabin (船舱) stays clean.”可知，烤箱的设计理念是在封闭空间（如太空舱）中清洁油烟、保持空气洁净。B选项“在封闭的露营帐篷里使用无烟小烤箱”，封闭帐篷类似太空舱的封闭环境，无烟设计对应烤箱“清洁油烟”的核心思路。故选B。 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Music, like magic, is something that touches everyone’s heart, no matter where we come from or what language we speak. It’s more than just a fun way to pass the time. 37 Music is really amazing. When we’re feeling down or stressed out from school, music can be of great help to us. Just putting on our headphones and listening to our favorite music can make us feel better in no time. 38 It takes away worries and offers a peaceful escape from our daily life. But music does more than just make us feel good. It can also help us learn better. Have you ever noticed that listening to music while studying can make it easier to remember what you’re reading or learning? 39 As a result, we can get new information and knowledge more easily. There’s one more special thing that music can do. It gives us a voice. When we make up our own music, whether it’s singing or playing an instrument, we’re able to express ourselves in a way that words sometimes can’t. 40 Through music, we can show our ideas and moods, allowing others to connect with us on a deeper level.

It uses natural tree roots 41 (create) beautiful artworks. The art mixes natural beauty and human creativity. It is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. In 1982, an ancient root carving of a mythical (神话的) animal 42 (find) in Hubei Province. It showed the long history of this art. Liaoning is also famous for root carvings. The best root carvings mainly come 43 Fushun and Benxi. Many people still enjoy this special art today. Creating root carving works 44 (include) four steps: choosing the right root, designing based on its shape, carving, and finally coloring. Artists follow 45 important rule: 30% human work and 70% nature. The rule means that they must respect the root’s natural form while adding 46 (they) artistic creation. There are different 47 (kind) of root carvings. Some are practical, like chairs and desks. Some are decorative (装饰性的), like animal or flower shapes. Root carving is not only an art form, 48 also a symbol of Chinese wisdom in balancing nature and creativity. Today, people are becoming even 49 (interested) in this wonderful art than before. It is 50 (real) important to keep this tradition alive. We should try to learn more about it and pass on this special culture to future generations (代). 【答案】 41．to create 42．was found 43．from 44．includes 45．an 46．their 47．kinds 48．but 49．more interested 50．really 【导语】本文主要介绍了根雕这种中国传统艺术形式的相关信息，包括其历史、产地、创作步骤、种类以及意义等。 41．句意：它利用天然的树根来创作美丽的艺术品。create“创造”，use sth. to do sth.“用某物做某事”，固定搭配。故填to create。 42．句意：在1982年，在湖北省发现了一个神话动物的古代根雕。根据“In 1982”可知，该句时态为一般过去时；主语“an ancient root carving of a mythical (神话的) animal”和动词find之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为was/were+动词的过去分词；主语是单数，be动词用was，find的过去分词是found。故填was found。 43．句意：最好的根雕主要来自抚顺和本溪。come from“来自”，固定搭配。故填from。 44．句意：创作根雕作品包括四个步骤：选择合适的根、根据其形状设计、雕刻，最后上色。include“包括”，分析句子结构可知，此处缺少谓语动词；根据语境可知，该句陈述的是客观事实，时态为一般现在时；主语“Creating root carving works”是动名词短语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，include的第三人称单数形式是includes。故填includes。 45．句意：艺术家遵循一条重要的规则：30%的人工和70%的自然。此处泛指“一条重要的规则”，且important是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an表示“一条”。故填an。 46．句意：这条规则意味着他们必须尊重树根的自然形态，同时加入他们的艺术创作。修饰名词“artistic creation”应用形容词性物主代词their“他们的”。故填their。 47．句意：有不同种类的根雕。different后接可数名词复数形式，kind的复数形式是kinds“种类”。故填kinds。 48．句意：根雕不仅是一种艺术形式，也是中国智慧在平衡自然与创造力方面的象征。由“not only an art form...also”可知，not only...but also...“不仅……而且……”，固定搭配。故填but。 49．句意：如今，人们对这门奇妙艺术的兴趣比以前更浓厚了。interested“感兴趣的”，根据“than before”可知，此处用比较级形式，interested的比较级是more interested。故填more interested。 50．句意：保持这一传统的活力真的很重要。修饰形容词important应用副词really“真正地”。故填really。 六、阅读短文，回答问题。41-43题答案不超过10个单词（共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分；满分9分）。 Huang Xuhua, the chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines (核潜艇), passed away on 6th February 2025. Born in March 1926 in Guangdong province, Huang was the third child of his parents. He entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study shipbuilding. After graduating, Huang started his lifelong career in China’s shipbuilding industry. In 1958, Huang was chosen to join the research team tasked with designing China’s first nuclear submarine. In the beginning, there were poor basic conditions for Chinese scientists to develop such a hard task at that time. Besides, other countries didn’t share their technology with us. Huang and other scientists searched newspapers and magazines for information. They finally came up with five plans after piecing together all the information they found and carefully studying two US submarine models. In the following years, Huang and several other top engineers led the research and development for the nation’s first-generation nuclear submarines. After years of efforts, China finally built its first nuclear submarine— the first Type 091— in 1970, becoming the fifth nation to have such hardware. Huang’s name remained classified (机密的) until 1987 because of the sensitive nature of his work. Because of his outstanding contributions, Huang was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor, in 2019. 第1-3题的答案不超过10个词，第4题的答案词数不限。 51．How old was Huang Xuhua when he passed away? 52．What problems did Chinese scientists have when developing China’s first nuclear submarine in the beginning? 53．Why was Huang Xuhua presented with China’s highest honor? 54．What do you think of Huang Xuhua? Why? 【答案】51．(He was)99 years old. 52．Poor basic conditions and no/ little technology. 53．Because of his outstanding contributions. 54．I think he is hard-working/ dedicated because he spent years building the nuclear submarine. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了中国第一代核潜艇总设计师黄旭华的生平事迹及其贡献。 51．根据“Huang Xuhua, the chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines, passed away on 6th February 2025.”以及“Born in March 1926 in Guangdong province.” 可知，黄旭华出生于1926年，去世于2025年，故其享年为99岁。故填(He was)99 years old. 52．根据“In the beginning, there were poor basic conditions for Chinese scientists to develop such a hard task at that time. Besides, other countries didn’t share their technology with us.”可知，当时中国科学家要开发这样艰巨的任务，基础条件很差，此外，别的国家不和我们共享技术。故填Poor basic conditions and no/ little technology. 53．根据“Because of his outstanding contributions, Huang was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor, in 2019.”可知，由于他杰出的贡献，黄旭华在2019年被授予中华人民共和国最高荣誉——共和国勋章。故填Because of his outstanding contributions. 54．本题是开放性问题，需结合文章中黄旭华的事迹进行评价。通读全文，文章讲述了他一生致力于核潜艇研发，克服艰难取得重大成果等事迹，所以说明，黄旭华核潜艇总设计师勤奋、专注，花了数年时间建造核潜艇。故填I think he is hard-working/ dedicated because he spent years building the nuclear submarine. 七、书面表达(共1题;满分15分) 55．在众多的艺术形式中，我最喜欢电影，特别是英语电影。请根据以下提示写一篇英语短文。 喜欢理由 1. 通过观看英文电影，学到英语单词，训练听说，……(自拟); 2. 有教育意义(educational)，英语取得巨大进步，使我更加有自信; 3. 认识一些著名的演员，比如Audrey Hepburn，最伟大女演员之一，成就超越电影业，被认为超级巨星，不仅因为……而且因为……; 4. ……(自拟) 存在问题 1. 有作业要做，几乎没空闲时间看电影。不知怎样获得学习和爱好之间平衡。 2. 同学不理解，痴迷外国东西，相处不融洽。 注意： 1.语言规范，信息完整，结构连贯，书写工整； 2.词数100左右，内容必须包括表格中所有信息，并作适当的发挥； 3.不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息； 4.要秀出你漂亮的英语书写呀! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文     Of all the art forms, I like English movies best.

His mother wished he could 14 a bit more, but his father would smile and say, “ 15 you want something, work for it!” Now Michael was standing in the stadium (体育场) 16 one of the final two competitors (竞争者) in the pole - vaulting event in the National Junior Olympics. After a warm-up, he found his pole, and stepped on the runway that led to the most challenging event of his 17-year-old life. Suddenly he became nervous. He had never experienced this before.

He gently put down his pole, and began to stretch (伸展) out his arms and upper body. And then, he carefully picked up his pole. He knew it was his time to fly. As he began sprinting (冲刺) down the runway, something felt wonderfully 18 , but familiar (熟悉的). When he took a deep breath, it happened. He began to fly just like in his childhood 19 .

People built it over 2,000 years ago to protect their country from enemies. It is very, very long—about 21,196 kilometers, making it the longest wall in the world. It was made of stone, brick, and earth. Today, many parts of the wall are open to visitors from all over the world. Machu Picchu, Peru High in the mountains of Peru, you can find this amazing old city. The Inca people built it around 1450. It is located on a high mountain ridge, about 2,430 meters above sea level. People left the city long ago, and it was hidden in the forest until 1911. The buildings are special because the stones fit together perfectly without using anything to stick them. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt These giant stone structures (建筑) are in Egypt. People built them around 2560 BC as tombs for their kings, called pharaohs. The Great Pyramid is the only one still standing from the ancient “Seven Wonders of the World”. To build it, workers used about 2.3 million large stone blocks, and each block was very heavy. Great Barrier Reef, Australia This is the world’s largest coral reef (珊瑚礁). It is not a building, but a huge natural structure made by tiny sea animals. It has over 2,900 individual reefs. More than 1,500 kinds of fish and 600 kinds of coral live there, making it very colorful and full of life. Sadly, it is now in danger due to the warming sea and pollution, which hurts the coral. 23．Which wonder was built to protect the country? A．Machu Picchu. B．The Great Wall of China. C．The Pyramids of Giza. D．The Great Barrier Reef. 24．We can learn from the text that the Great Barrier Reef ▲ . A．is the oldest wonder on the list B．was built by ancient people C．may lose some coral because of climate (气候) change D．is the longest man-made structure in the world 25．What do the four wonders have in common? A．They are all in Asia. B．They are all in danger from pollution. C．They are all world-famous. D．They are all made by people. B One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. She could not afford a present, so she sat down and cried. Jim and Della had two possessions (财物) which they were both proud of. One was Jim’s gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather. The other was Della’s beautiful hair. It fell about her, and reached below her knee. Della put on her old brown jacket and her old brown hat. Then she went out of the door and down the stairs to the street. She stopped at a store. The sign in front of the store read “Hair Goods”. “Will you buy my hair?” asked Della. “Twenty dollars,” the woman said. Then Della searched through the stores looking for a present for Jim. She found it at last. It was a watch chain (表链). The bill was twenty-one dollars. At seven o’clock, the coffee was made and dinner was ready. Jim was never late. Della heard his steps on the stairs. The door opened and Jim walked in. He stopped inside the door. His eyes were fixed on Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not understand. “Jim,” she cried, “don’t look at me that way. I sold my hair to buy you a Christmas present.” Jim drew a box from his pocket and put it on the table. Della opened it. There lay the set of combs that she had always wanted. Now they were hers, but her hair was gone. She smiled and held out Jim’s present. “I hunted all over town to find it. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.” Instead of giving her the watch, Jim sat down, put his hands behind his head and smiled. “I’m sorry, Della,” he said, “but I’m happy we did the same thing. ________” 26．Which of the following is the most valuable to Della? A．The money. B．The combs. C．Jim’s watch. D．Jim’s love. 27．What did the expression in Jim’s eyes mean when he saw Della? A．He was cheerful but angry. B．He was excited but afraid. C．He was surprised but sad. D．He was curious but worried. 28．What did Jim most probably say at the end of the story? A．You must be excited that I bought you the combs. B．You know how much I’ve always wanted a watch chain. C．I sold my watch to get the money to buy you the combs. D．I can’t wait to see how good it looks on my gold watch. C Growing up, we have heard a lot of stereotypes (刻板印象) of how sex (性别) influences interests and jobs. For example, boys do math better than girls, while girls are better at learning languages. We usually think this is because of differences in how boys’ and girls’ brains work. But is it true? According to past research, some parts of our brains can be different in size. Scientists used to think these differences might influence how well men and women think and do things. They discovered this by scanning (扫描) people’s brains. However, in most of the research, researchers only scanned several hundred people. As said in a 2022 study, for such research to be believable, you would need more samples (样本) of scanning the brains of a few thousand people at least. In 2021, the UK Biobank, a big database (数据库) used for research, scanned the brains of 40,000 people in the UK, providing new insights. It showed differences between men and women in the size of certain brain parts. About 33% of these parts were found to be larger in men, while another 33% of these parts were larger in women. However, these differences were very small, often just a size difference in percentage (百分比). The differences are not big enough to form a conclusion (结论) from them, Camille Williams from the University of Texas at Austin, US, told New Scientist. Also, our brains might change in structure (结构) and size according to our life experiences. For example, even if a part of a man’s brain, responsible for doing math, is larger than that of a woman, it is possibly because he takes jobs which use math skills. So, any brain differences between men and women could be a result, not a reason, of different roles in life and society, said New Scientist. 29．How does the writer organize the passage? A．By listing different opinions about the same topic. B．By giving examples first and then making a conclusion. C．By comparing past research with new one all the time. D．By showing a problem, discussing research and then giving the result. 30．What does the writer think of the past research? A．Scanning people’s brains is not helpful. B．It helps people better understand themselves. C．Its result was believable. D．Their sample sizes were too small. 31．What does the underlined word “insights” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Understandings. B．Problems. C．Questions. D．Plans. 32．Which of the following sentences is true? A．Life experiences can lead to changes in the structure and size of our brains. B．The differences in brain size are the main reason of different interests and jobs. C．Scientists are sure that brain differences decide how people think and do things. D．The UK Biobank found huge differences in brain size between men and women. D China’s Tiangong Space Station welcomed a new thing — a special hot-air oven! Recently, astronauts from the Shenzhou-21 and Shenzhou-20 missions used this device successfully for the first time in space. This is an important step to improve Chinese astronauts’ dining experience in orbit. Now, they can enjoy tasty baked (烤的) food even hundreds of kilometers away from Earth.​ Before this new invention, most space food was cooked beforehand and ready to eat. There were not many choices for taste and texture. The new oven has greatly made the space menu more varied (多种多样的). Astronauts have already tried baking popular dishes like “Orleans-style” chicken wings and black pepper beef steak. A video from the space station showed them putting the chicken wings into the oven carefully. After 28 minutes of exact heating, the delicious and soft chicken wings were done. The astronauts liked them very much.​ However, baking in space brings special challenges. Liu Weibo, an expert in space life support technology, explained that the main difficulties are dealing with smoke and oil fumes (油烟). These could make the space station’s air dirty. The specially designed oven uses new technologies to clean smoke and collect oil. This makes sure the air in the cabin (船舱) stays clean. Besides, the oven is made to be strong and long-lasting. It can work well at least 500 times to meet the needs of long space missions.​ The new oven is part of China’s ongoing work to make astronauts’ living conditions better in space. Now, the space station has more than 190 kinds of food. The menu is updated every 10 days to give different and healthy food choices. Apart from the oven, the “space garden” on the station is also growing well. Astronauts have successfully grown fresh vegetables like lettuce and cherry tomatoes. These add more fresh food to their meals.​ “When astronauts stay in a small space for months, eating self-baked food not only makes their taste buds happy but also brings great mental (精神的) comfort,” Liu Weibo said. It turns out that a nice and delicious meal is always the best comfort — even in the huge space far from Earth. 33．What is the main difficulty of baking in space? A．Not having enough baking materials on board. B．Having no fixed heating time for baking food. C．Dealing with smoke and oil fumes properly. D．Having little space to place the baking oven. 34．What does China’s effort to improve space food show? A．Chinese government pays little attention to astronauts’ needs. B．China is developing modern space life support technologies. C．Enough food is the most important thing in our space station. D．Astronauts only care about the taste of their everyday meals. 35．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Astronauts will grow fresh vegetables in space garden. B．Difficult challenges of space baking and our solutions. C．A special hot-air oven on Tiangong and its importance. D．The variety of food provided on China’s space station. 36．Which of the following shows the proper use of the special hot-air oven’s design idea? A．Baking cookies in a home kitchen with good ventilation. B．Using a smoke-free small oven in a closed camping tent. C．Heating cold rice for many students in a school cafeteria. D．Cooking vegetable meat soup for a big family at a picnic. 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Music, like magic, is something that touches everyone’s heart, no matter where we come from or what language we speak. It’s more than just a fun way to pass the time. 37 Music is really amazing. When we’re feeling down or stressed out from school, music can be of great help to us. Just putting on our headphones and listening to our favorite music can make us feel better in no time. 38 It takes away worries and offers a peaceful escape from our daily life. But music does more than just make us feel good. It can also help us learn better. Have you ever noticed that listening to music while studying can make it easier to remember what you’re reading or learning? 39 As a result, we can get new information and knowledge more easily. There’s one more special thing that music can do. It gives us a voice. When we make up our own music, whether it’s singing or playing an instrument, we’re able to express ourselves in a way that words sometimes can’t. 40 Through music, we can show our ideas and moods, allowing others to connect with us on a deeper level. So whenever you have a chance, remember to turn up the music and let it work its magic. A．Music can cheer us up. B．Music can be used to celebrate important events. C．It gives us energy and helps us exercise more. D．That’s because music can improve our attention. E．It’s a powerful force that can shape our lives in many ways. F．It’s a way to share our thoughts and feelings with the world. 五、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Root carving (根雕) is a special traditional art form in China with a long history.
