By the way, the movie was based on the album of the same name by Prince, right? W: Exactly! It is Prince’s sixth studio album. And the album ranked first on the Billboard 200 chart 24 weeks in a row. It’s crazy! He was really a great singer and songwriter. The producers of the Broadway musical are super excited about the musical. They want to honor Prince and his musical achievements with a live stage adaptation of the beloved story. M: That’s indeed meaningful. I’m sure the musical will draw many viewers. W: Anyway, it’s a shame Prince isn’t around to see this new musical. 听第10段材料，回答第18至20题。 【原文10】M: There’s nothing more fantastic than a nice hot meal on a cold winter day. But what if you have no way of heating your lunch or ordering a hot meal? That’s where the world’s first microwave bag comes into place. Made out of a special material developed by the Japanese company Sanki Consys Co. Ltd., the Willtex “Willcook” microwave bag can heat up whatever you have stored inside to 80°C in just 5 minutes. The bag itself weighs just 160 grams, while the rechargeable battery pack powering it weighs an extra 120 grams. The “Willcook” microwave bag is made from flexible material which generates heat just by drawing power from a battery pack. This kind of material has the same flexibility and lightness as regular cloth, yet it provides quick and uniform heating. The inside of a “Willcook” microwave bag reaches 80°C in 5 minutes after being powered on, but users can set the temperature between 40°C and 250°C via a smartphone app called Hotopia. Meanwhile, this special material also makes the “Willcook” microwave bag great for keeping drinks cool in the summer. 第二部分： 阅读理解 A 篇【答案】21。A 22.D 23. C 【解析】文章介绍了在 Cappadocia乘坐热气球旅行的相关信息。 21. A【解析】细节理解题。根据 The arrangement 部分的第一段第三句和第二段最后一句可知，这个旅行发生在早上。 22. D【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，在 Cappadocia 乘坐热气球旅行会受天气的影响。因此，天气是游客们最该考虑的因素。 23. C【解析】推理判断题。本文介绍了在 Cappadocia 乘坐热气球旅行的相关信息，所以我们能在报纸的旅游版块读到这篇文章。 B篇【答案】24. D 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要讲述了博物馆推出夜间过夜活动，包括孩子们在博物馆的夜间活动、这种活动带来的转变、其特别之处、面临的挑战以及相应的安全措施等内容。 【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Before sleeping in tents near dinosaur skeletons, they joined activities like a fossil (化石) dig experience, a fossil-making workshop, and a night treasure hunt. (在恐龙骨架附近的帐篷里睡觉之前，他们参加了诸如化石挖掘体验、化石制作工坊和夜间寻宝等活动)”以及“The adventure ended with an awards ceremony (仪式) the next morning. (冒险活动在第二天早上以颁奖仪式结束)”可知，孩子们在博物馆的晚上是在恐龙骨架旁睡觉，而不是参加颁奖仪式、装饰化石工坊或帮助专家记录日志。故选D项。 【25题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段“These overnight stays turn the activity from passive viewing to active immersion. By opening at night, museums can spread out visitors, especially families and young people, offering more time and deeper engagement (参与). (这些过夜活动将活动从被动观看转变为积极immersion。通过在夜间开放，博物馆可以分散游客，尤其是家庭和年轻人，提供更多时间和更深入的参与)”可知，过夜活动改变了活动形式，让游客有更深入的参与，也就是让游客有更深入的体验。由此可推知，“immersion”意思是“体验”，与“Experience”意思相近。故选D项。 【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“A cultural expert pointed out that such experiences can increase people’s great interest in exploring history. (一位文化专家指出，这样的体验可以增加人们对探索历史的浓厚兴趣)”可知，文化专家认为过夜活动有助于提高人们对历史的好奇心。故选D项。 【27题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“For example, some museums require workers to watch over children or ask parents to go with younger kids. (例如，一些博物馆要求工作人员照看孩子，或者要求家长陪同年幼的孩子)”可知，作者提到的安全措施是成年人陪伴孩子。故选A项。 C 篇【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了盲盒受欢迎的原因以及对人类生活的积极意义。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.（这样的惊喜也是一番乐趣。如今 ，盲盒玩具将这股惊喜的魅力带到了网购中。）”以及倒数第二段“Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month.（打开一个盲盒对我们平凡的日常生活来说是一个令人愉快的小惊喜，每天、每周或每个月都可以等待一件小而有趣的事情。）”可知，盲盒会给我们的生活带来惊喜。故选A项。 29．推理判断题。根据文章第六段“"Expecting the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process," said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: "Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside."（“期待未知总是打开盒子过程的一部分，”24岁的曹小姐说，她生活和工作在沈阳。在接受新浪新闻采访时，她说：“直到你打开所有的盒子，你才知道里面装的是什么。”）”可判断，人们买盲盒是因为享受打开盒子的过程。故选C项。 30．词义猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段“Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month.可知，打开一个盲盒对我们mundane日常生活来说是一个令人愉快的小惊喜，每天、每周或每个月都可以等待一件小而有趣的事情。根据句意，可推知此处mundane指日常生活的无聊与平凡，即划线词与boring同义。故选D项。 31．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.（在1994年上映的影片《阿甘正传》中，有句名台词：“生活就像一盒巧克力，你永远不知道下一颗是什么。”这样的惊喜也是一番乐趣。如今，盲盒玩具将这股惊喜的魅力带到了网购中。）”以及下文列举一些报刊和人物对盲盒的看法可推知，文章最有可能来自一本杂志。故选B项。 D 篇 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要介绍了希腊的一个小岛经历了一场绿色革命，通过垃圾管理和分类让小岛更加美丽，保护了小岛的自然环境。 32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段内容“A small Greek island, Tilos, got the title of a national park and can now make enough energy for itself. Now it has become the world’s first zero-waste island. (希腊的一个小岛Tilos获得了国家公园的称号，现在可以为自己生产足够的能源。现在，它已成为世界上第一个零垃圾岛。)”可知，Tilos成为世界上第一个零垃圾岛，由此可知，Tilos的特别之处在于它是世界上第一个零垃圾岛。故选D项。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“They began by setting up an information center so people could learn about how to sort (分类) their waste into three kinds: recyclable (可回收的) materials (paper, plastic, and glass); organic waste (food, fruit, stones and bones); and non-recyclable materials (soiled paper and personal things). (他们首先建立了一个信息中心，这样人们就可以学习如何将垃圾分为三类：可回收的材料（纸张、塑料和玻璃）；有机垃圾（食物、水果、石头和骨头）；以及不可回收材料（脏纸和个人物品）。)”可知，人们就可以从信息中心学习如何将垃圾分为三类，由此可知，居民可以从信息中心学到对垃圾进行分类的方法。故选B项。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Waste management and recycling measures have been improved, leading to a reduction in plastic and other non-biodegradable waste. This has not only made the island beautiful but also protected its environment and ocean life. (废物管理和回收措施得到了改善，从而减少了塑料和其他不可生物降解的垃圾。这不仅使该岛变得美丽，而且保护了其环境和海洋生物。)”可知,改善Tilos的垃圾管理不仅使该岛变得美丽，而且保护了其环境和海洋生物，由此可知，改善Tilos的垃圾管理美化了这个岛，保护了它的自然。故选C项。 【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段内容““In the beginning, it was fun but cost time and energy,” says Fotaras, one of 745 residents (居民). “But we all helped each other until we could do it well. I was amazed how old people welcomed the idea of no rubbish like the good old days— and that gave me hope and courage to do it.”(745名居民中的Fotaras说：“起初，这很有趣，但需要花费时间和精力。”“但我们都互相帮助，直到我们能做得很好。我很惊讶老年人多么欢迎没有垃圾的想法，就像过去的好日子一样——这给了我希望和勇气去做。”)”可知，垃圾管理受到居民的欢迎，让居民觉得很有趣，由此可知，现在居民对垃圾管理的态度可能是支持的。故选A项。 七选五【答案】36.

This unique experience allows you to witness the attractive beauty of the region from a vantage point unlike any other. It will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Highlights ◆Panoramic(全景的) views of the unique rock formations ◆Ideal for photographers and adventure-seekers ◆Free round-trip transportation from your hotel The arrangement Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel, followed by a short drive to the launch site. Here, you can witness the inflation(充气) of the balloon. As you rise, so does the sun, shedding a warm glow on this already worldly place. The flight, lasting approximately one hour, offers a serene and peaceful way to take in the beauty of Cappadocia. During your flight, you’ll float over the Goreme National Park and the surrounding valleys, providing you with unique views of the region’s history and geology(地质). After a gentle landing, celebrate your adventure with a light breakfast. Attention Hot air balloon flights in Cappadocia are subject to weather conditions to ensure the safety and comfort of our passengers. The direction of the flight is determined by the wind of the day, which may lead us over the beautiful valleys or the ancient city. 21. When will the adventure start? A. In the morning. B. At noon. C. In the afternoon. D. In the evening. 22. What is the key consideration for those interested in the adventure? A. The price. B. The dinner. C. The transportation. D. The weather. 23. In which part of a newspaper are you most likely to read the text? A. Sport. B. Geography. C. Travel. D. Culture. B One summer evening, as night fell, thirty young “dinosaur explorers” gathered at the Chengdu Natural History Museum for a 16-hour overnight adventure. Guided by experts, the children recorded their discoveries in adventure journals, turning the silent museum into a lively classroom. Before sleeping in tents near dinosaur skeletons, they joined activities like a fossil (化石) dig experience, a fossil-making workshop, and a night treasure hunt. The adventure ended with an awards ceremony (仪式) the next morning. Similar programs are being held at history and culture museums in Luoyang. These overnight stays turn the activity from passive viewing to active immersion. By opening at night, museums can spread out visitors, especially families and young people, offering more time and deeper engagement (参与). What makes the overnight experience special is its engaging quality. Sleeping near fossils or relics turns a simple visit into a personal adventure, meeting the modern desire for “story-driven tourism”. A cultural expert pointed out that such experiences can increase people’s great interest in exploring history. A Beijing parent who joined an overnight event with her daughter said the child loved activities like making amber and listening to stories beside huge skeletons — something a daytime visit could not match. Of course, overnight stays bring challenges like safety and organization. Museums must have strong safety and emergency plans. For example, some museums require workers to watch over children or ask parents to go with younger kids. With good planning, overnight stays can be a creative solution to summer crowding, giving museums a new life at night and allowing visitors to connect with history in a deeper way. 24. What did children do at night in the museum? A. They joined in an award ceremony. B. They decorated a fossil workshop. C. They helped experts record journals. D. They slept beside a dinosaur skeleton. 25. What does the underlined word “immersion” most probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Description. B. Guidance. C. Direction. D. Experience. 26. What does the cultural expert think of the overnight stays? A. They are an ordinary form of tourism. B They have an effect on daytime visits. C. They benefit parent-child relationship. D. They help raise curiosity about history. 27. What can be a safety measure for overnight events according to the author? A. Adults’ stay with children. B. Night visitor limits. C. Museums’ facility update. D. Extra emergency exits. C In the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there's a famous saying, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys（盲盒)are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping. A blind box toy is hidden inside similar boxes but invisible from the outside. You don't know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons. Blind boxes have become popular since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box designed by Hong Kong-born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55, 000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35. According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figures(人物)come in small sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere. Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It's the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another. "Expecting the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process," said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: "Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside." Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome. When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, "Life is like a blind box." 28．What do we know about blind boxes? A．They may bring surprise to our life. B．They are visible from the outside. C．They are popular among all ages. D．They were first designed in 2014. 29．Why do people buy blind boxes according to Miss Cao? A．Because blind boxes are fashionable gifts. B．Because blind boxes are educational gifts. C．Because people enjoy box-opening process. D．Because people prefer the colorful boxes. 30．What does the underlined word "mundane" probably mean? A．Wonderful B．Interesting C．Amazing. D．Boring. 31．Where is the text most likely from? A．A diary. B．A magazine. C．A novel. D．A guidebook. D A small Greek island, Tilos, got the title of a national park and can now make enough energy for itself. Now it has become the world’s first zero-waste island. The island no longer has any rubbish bins (垃圾箱) and the place where they used to put rubbish (the landfill site) is closed completely. In their place is the Center for Creative Upcycling, where things can either be repaired, reused, or be turned into art supplies or building materials. They began by setting up an information center so people could learn about how to sort (分类) their waste into three kinds: recyclable (可回收的) materials (paper, plastic, and glass); organic waste (food, fruit, stones and bones); and non-recyclable materials (soiled paper and personal things). Each family was then given its own zero-waste equipment, including boxes for recyclable and non-recyclable waste, a bag for organic waste, and a box for cigarette ends. A smartphone app watched real-time information to show how much had been recycled. Waste management and recycling measures have been improved, leading to a reduction in plastic and other non-biodegradable (不可生物降解的) waste. This has not only made the island beautiful but also protected its environment and ocean life. As a protected national park, the 63km² island is an important site for falcons, long-legged buzzards and a number of migratory birds that use Tilos as a stopover between Africa and Europe. Any visitors to the island have to take part in the schedule as well. Hotels have special equipment for separating rubbish and tourists can pick up cloth bags for shopping from the Zero Point Information Center. “In the beginning, it was fun but cost time and energy,” says Fotaras, one of 745 residents (居民). “But we all helped each other until we could do it well. I was amazed how old people welcomed the idea of no rubbish like the good old days— and that gave me hope and courage to do it.” 32. What makes Tilos special according to the text? A. It has smart rubbish bins. B. It is the smallest island in the world. C. It has the best energy production system. D. It is the world’s first zero-waste island. 33. What can residents learn from the information center? A. Their duty to collect waste. B. Methods of grouping their waste. C. Information on smartphone apps. D. Ways to make zero-waste equipment. 34. What is the benefit of improving waste management on Tilos? A. It has increased the number of tourists. B. It has made the residents’ lives easier. C. It has beautified the island and protected its nature. D. It has cut the cost in running hotels on the island. 35. What may be the residents’ attitude towards the waste management now? A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 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。 If you think your vocabulary is weak, a little effort every day over six to nine months can go a long way in improving it.

Residents did not expect such a strong storm, so many were unprepared. In Lucas’ case, the roof of his house broke, and he had to place buckets (水桶) under a large hole to keep the falling snow from filling his home. He worked as a cashier at the local store, and while he wanted to stay home the day after the storm, he needed to fill in for those who couldn’t go to work. There were only a couple of people in the store, as it was challenging to cope with deep snow in the streets. They bought a lot of food just in case of more snowstorms. After serving a couple of adults, Lucas came across a boy, about 11 years old, with a cart (推车) full of goods. Once Lucas gave him the total, the boy realized he was two dollars short to meet the payment. “Oh no, I miscalculated the total,” the boy said, looking around the store thinking of what to do. After a couple of seconds, Lucas grew angry. “Well? Are you paying for the goods or not? You’re holding up the line!” he shouted. “I’m sorry. I am two dollars short. I need to take some things out of my cart. Please serve the others first while I sort things out,” the boy explained, walking to the side to let other customers go ahead. Lucas thought the boy was playing tricks on him, especially after checking out so many items from the store. Then he saw the tennis rackets (球拍) fixed to the boy’s feet and this made him curious. After Lucas had served all the customers, he approached the boy and asked, “Why do you have tennis rackets fixed to your feet?” “This is the only way I could get through the snow on the way to the store. I live with my old grandmother, and I needed supplies for her and our other neighbours. My neighbours’ house was covered in snow. I wanted to help them,” the boy explained sadly. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Lucas gave the boy two dollars and walked the boy back to his house. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, while wondering how to fix the roof, Lucas suddenly heard a knock on the door. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 12 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
