M: Oh, I’d spend most of time in the library. I’d borrow three or four books and read them all afternoon. We didn’t have e-books or watch online videos; everything was in paper. W: Really? So you didn’t own smartphones or even tablets? M: Exactly! After reading, my friends and I would play outdoor games—hide-and-seek in the woods. It was so lively and free from screens. W: How did you learn about new topics then? Did you still rely on the library for school projects? M: Absolutely! I’d look up facts in encyclopedias or ask the librarian for recommendations. Now, I search online for videos or apps that explain things in minutes, which is way faster. W: And how do you stay in touch with friends now? Do you still write letters like in the past? M: No, I never do that anymore! I chat with them on social media apps like WeChat or send voice messages. Writing letters took hours, and now we can share photos and jokes in seconds. W: So, which life do you prefer—old or new? M: I’d say both have their magic. The old days were simpler, with fewer distractions and more real conversations. The new life is efficient and connects me to people worldwide. I don’t want to lose the best parts of either! C.

Some might feel tricky, but just try doing it yourself! Be brave to say what you think. If you fail the first time, learn from it and try again. Being curious helps us grow—every great thing starts with a small, curious idea. Keep thinking, sharing, and being curious! It will make your daily life more colorful and interesting.

He built a telescope to observe the sky and found that the Earth orbits the sun—a discovery that revolutionized science. Another example is Marie Curie, who was curious about unknown elements. She spent years studying radioactive materials, even when many people thought it was a waste of time. Her curiosity ____61____ the discovery of radium, which has helped save millions of lives through cancer treatment. Curiosity isn’t just for famous scientists. It’s part of everyday life.

The students began asking questions: Why do some plants need more water? How do they make food? Through ____62____, they learned more than any textbook could teach. ____63____, research shows that curious people are more successful in life. They’re better at solving problems and adapting to new situations. This is because curiosity makes the brain more ____64____ and ready to learn.

She spent years studying radioactive materials”，正是这种好奇心驱使她坚持研究，最终促成了镭的发现。故选A。 【62题详解】 句意：通过探索，他们学到了比任何教科书都多的知识。 rating评级；treating对待；exploring探索；recording记录。前文描述学生“grew their own”植物，并提出“Why do some plants need more water? How do they make food?”等问题，这些都是主动探索的行为。故选C。 【63题详解】 句意：事实上，研究表明，好奇心强的人在生活中更成功。 In conclusion总之；However然而；Therefore因此；In fact事实上。前文指出“Curiosity isn’t just for famous scientists. It’s part of everyday life”，此处用“事实上”引出研究结果，进一步佐证好奇心的普遍作用，与前文形成递进，因此In fact最恰当。故选D。 64题详解】 句意：这是因为好奇心让大脑更活跃，并准备好学习。 vivid生动的；precious珍贵的；active活跃的；aware有……意识的。后文提到“When we’re curious, we pay more attention and remember information better”，说明好奇心能让大脑更活跃，从而提升注意力和记忆力。故选C。 D) Read the passage and answer the following questions. (阅读短文，回答问题)：(共7分) The world has changed greatly over the past few decades. When we look back at the past and compare it with the present, we can easily notice the remarkable changes in our lives. Communication used to be much slower. People sent letters to each other, which could take days or even weeks to reach the destination. Making long-distance phone calls was also expensive and inconvenient. Now, with the development of the internet and mobile technology, communication has become instant. We can send text messages, make video calls, and chat with people from all over the world in real-time using apps like WeChat and WhatsApp. Shopping has also experienced a big change. Years ago, people had to go to physical stores to buy things. They would spend time walking from one shop to another to compare prices and quality. Today, online shopping has become extremely popular. With just a few clicks on a computer or a mobile phone, we can buy almost anything we want, from clothes and electronics to groceries. The goods are then delivered right to our doorstep. These changes have undoubtedly made our lives more convenient and exciting. Yet, some people still miss the simplicity and personal warmth of the past. Whether it’s the joy of getting a handwritten letter or the excitement of shopping at a local store, those moments have a special charm that the digital age cannot fully replace. 65.
