阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A good walk through the Peckforton Hills and Castle, Cheshire
The Landscape Deep into autumn in the Peckforton Hills the red sandstone *outcrops* (岩石露头) and mossy old woodland glowed in the golden afternoon light. We had joined a stretch of the Sandstone Trail, which traces Cheshire’s central sandstone *ridge* (山脊). Our goal was a northwards passage of the highest hills on the trail.
Climbing the wooded sides of Bickerton Hill brought us to an open lowland area. Restoration work here is reclaiming this precious habitat for rare wildlife. Below the highest point is Mad Allen’s Hole, believed to have been the home of an 18th-century *hermit* (隐士) John Harris. The path then steepened, eventually reaching the trail’s highest point at Raw Head, where a summit looks north over Delamere Forest to Ellesmere Port.
Dipping through farmland, we were soon climbing again, this time through beech and oak woodland at Bulkeley Hill. We gathered a bagful of sweet chestnuts before detouring into Higher Burwardsley for lunch at the warmly welcoming Pheasant Inn.
The final miles skirted the hills below Stanners Nab and the impressive 19th-century grandeur of Peckforton Castle. The finish of our walk drew near — lofty Beeston Crag topped with the ruins of Beeston Castle. Built in the 1220s by Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, it is well worth a visit. Inside is the famous castle well, a possible hiding place of Richard II’s treasure, which drops a dark and dizzying 365ft into the hill.

Philo Farnsworth was born in Utah in 1906. The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electricity. But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it.
One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. It said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work.
Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”.
Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo’s drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science.
In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear, the device worked.
In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes (纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life.
He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century.
24. Which can best describe 14-year-old Philo?
A. Questionable and creative. B. Generous and experienced.
C. Selfless and hard-working. D. Peace-loving and determined.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Share your kindness to others.
B. Two heads are better than one.
C. Teachers are key to shaping young minds.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
26. Which contribution does NOT belong to Philo Farnsworth?
A. The development of early radar.
B. First discovery of atomic energy.
C. The invention of electronic microscope.
D. Various components of modern television.
27. How does the author develop the text?
A. By analyzing causes. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following time order. D. By questioning the points.

People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental well-being and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University. The team also found that people who eat savoury (咸味的) snacks such as crisps, which are low in nutrients, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.
Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the study surveyed 428 adults from across the UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit, vegetables, sweet and salty snacks, and their psychological health. The research found that both nutrient-rich fruit and nutrient-poor salty snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health. They also found that there was no direct association between eating vegetables and psychological health. Based on the survey, the more often people ate fruit, the lower they scored for depression and the higher for mental well-being, independent of the overall quantity of fruit intake. By contrast, there was no link between these everyday memory lapses (差错) and fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks, suggesting a unique relationship between these nutrient-poor salty snacks, everyday mental lapses, and psychological health.
Lead author, PhD student Nicola-Jayne Tuck commented, “Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health and well-being, and while we did not directly examine causality here, our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor salty foods may increase everyday mental lapses, which in turn reduces psychological health.”
“It is possible that changing what we snack on could be a really simple way to improve our mental well-being. Conversely, it is also possible that the forthcoming restriction of processed snacks at checkouts, due to come in this October, could not only improve the country’s physical health, but mental health too.”
“Overall, it’s definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl.”
28. Which may lead to greater level of anxiety?
A. Vegetables. B. Fruit.
C. Salty snacks. D. Grain.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. There is a relation between the nutrient-poor snacks and mental health.
B. The more fruit people eat, the lower they scored for depression.
C. Rich fruit appears not to be linked to psychological health.
D. There is a direct link between eating vegetables and psychological health.
30. What does the underlined word “causality” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The relation between fruit and vegetables.
B. The close relation between exercise and health.
C. The relation between snacks and mental health.
D The relation between diet and mental health and well-being.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Eating habits can prevent disease
B. Eating unhealthy snacks often is harmful to health
C. Eating vegetables often can improve mental health
D. Eating fruit often may contribute to positive mental well-being
D
The human spine, or backbone, doesn’t just help us stand up straight. Inside the spine is the spinal cord (脊髓), which carries important information between the head and the lower part of the body. This information moves around as tiny, short bursts (短脉冲) of electricity which travel between the brain and the other parts of the body.
The legs and feet send “sense” information to the brain, saying they’re hurt or hot, for example. And the brain sends signals to the lower body, perhaps telling the legs to walk, dance, or sit down. When someone’s spinal cord is hurt, this means that information about senses doesn’t reach the brain from the lower body, and that control signals can’t make it to the lower body from the brain. When that happens, a person is “paralyzed”, and he can’t move his legs.
Now scientists in Lausanne, Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again. To help them walk again, the men had operations. A special device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord. This “ implant”contained sixteen electrodes. Electrodes are small objects that electricity can pass through. The researchers made sure the electrodes on the implant were lined up with the bundles of nerves (神经末梢) that control the leg muscles.
To begin with, the scientists controlled the implants from a tablet computer. Just hours after the implants were first used, all three men were taking steps, with support. In the past, scientists have had some success with similar implants in the lower spine. Some patients have even trained themselves over months to be able to walk.
This research is different. The patient’s brain isn’t sending “walking” messages to their legs. Instead the tablet tells the implant to send the walking messages. The researchers used computers to create patterns of movement that would work well with each patient. The patient then uses the tablet to choose the pattern they want. That triggers (触发) the implant and the muscles move in the chosen way. Over time, the men were able to walk entirely on their own.
32. What is the function of the spinal cord?
A. It helps us stand up straight.
B. It sends instructions to the body.
C. It connects different parts of the body.
D. It delivers information between different parts of the body.
33. What happened to the three paralyzed men?
A. The operations enabled them to walk again.
B. The scientists put a special device next to their spines.
C. They could feel the electricity passing through their bodies.
D. They replaced the nerves that control the leg muscles with electrodes.
34. According to the text, how is this research different from the one in the past?
A. The position of the implant is changed.
B. The patients need more time to recover.
C. The patients are able to walk independently soon after the operation.
D. The instructions to walk are given by the implant rather than the brain.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. What Is Responsible for Paralysis
B. How Does Spine Work in Our Body
C. Spine Implant Lets Paralyzed People Walk Again
D. Scientists Use Tablet Computer to Control Patients’ Movement

Our class had been preparing for the school sports meet’s 4×100-meter relay race for weeks. As the captain of the team, I felt both excited and nervous. Our team members — Li Ming, Wang Hong, Zhang Wei, and me — had practiced every afternoon after class. Li Ming was the fastest, so he ran the last leg; Wang Hong had steady hands for the first leg; Zhang Wei, with good reaction, took the second; and I was in charge of the third leg, connecting Zhang Wei and Li Ming.
The day of the race finally arrived. The playground was crowded with cheering students. When our names were called, we walked to the starting line, holding hands tightly and cheering for each other. “Remember, teamwork is everything!” I whispered to them.
The gun fired, and Wang Hong dashed out like an arrow. He ran fast and passed the baton to Zhang Wei smoothly. Zhang Wei accelerated immediately, keeping up with the leading runner. Soon it was my turn. I stretched out my hand, waiting for the baton. But suddenly, a student from another class bumped into Zhang Wei accidentally. The baton slipped from his hand and fell onto the ground!
I froze for a second. The other teams were rushing ahead. Zhang Wei looked panic-stricken, bending down to pick up the baton. At that moment, I remembered our promise — teamwork. Instead of blaming him, I shouted, “Hurry up! Pass it to me!” Zhang Wei handed me the baton, and I ran as fast as I could, trying to make up for the lost time. But when I reached Li Ming, we were still far behind the first two teams. Li Ming took the baton without a word, his eyes fixed on the finish line.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Li Ming started running with all his strength, his legs moving like wind.

【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. A
【解析】
【原文】 M: When I talk about the place where I grew up, people often don’t believe me at first. I have to admit, an island that regularly gets cut off by the sea does sound a bit like something out of a fairy tale or a scary movie. But I promise, Mersea Island is a real place. In fact, it’s only an hour’s train ride from London. But for tourists, the main way to get to Mersea Island is by driving across “The Strood”. This long, straight road is the only connection between the island and the mainland. But when the sea is at its highest level, it becomes impossible to cross. Failing to check the timetable often results in tourists getting trapped, or worse, having to be rescued by the emergency services! However, I’ve found it comforting to follow the pattern of the waves. There’s something beautiful about accepting nature’s power and learning to be patient. And there’s plenty to do while you are on the island, from exploring the island’s pretty fishing villages and sandy beaches to trying water sports. Personally, I recommend you visit my parents, who will serve you with the most delicious seafood at reasonable prices!

A
A good walk through the Peckforton Hills and Castle, Cheshire
The Landscape Deep into autumn in the Peckforton Hills, the red sandstone *outcrops* (岩石露头) and mossy old woodland glowed in the golden afternoon light. We had joined a stretch of the Sandstone Trail, which traces Cheshire’s central sandstone *ridge* (山脊). Our goal was a northwards passage of the highest hills on the trail.
Climbing the wooded sides of Bickerton Hill brought us to an open lowland area. Restoration work here is reclaiming this precious habitat for rare wildlife. Below the highest point is Mad Allen’s Hole believed to have been the home of an 18th-century *hermit* (隐士) John Harris. The path then steepened, eventually reaching the trail’s highest point at Raw Head, where a summit looks north over Delamere Forest to Ellesmere Port.
Dipping through farmland, we were soon climbing again, this time through beech and oak woodland at Bulkeley Hill. We gathered a bagful of sweet chestnuts before detouring into Higher Burwardsley for lunch at the warmly welcoming Pheasant Inn.
The final miles skirted the hills below Stanners Nab and the impressive 19th-century grandeur of Peckforton Castle. The finish of our walk drew near — lofty Beeston Crag topped with the ruins of Beeston Castle. Built in the 1220s by Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, it is well worth a visit. Inside is the famous castle well, a possible hiding place of Richard II’s treasure, which drops a dark and dizzying 365ft into the hill.

Philo Farnsworth was born in Utah in 1906. The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electricity. But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it.
One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. It said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work.
Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”.
Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo’s drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science.
In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear, the device worked.
In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes (纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life.
He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century.
24. Which can best describe 14-year-old Philo?
A. Questionable and creative. B. Generous and experienced.
C. Selfless and hard-working. D. Peace-loving and determined.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Share your kindness to others.
B. Two heads are better than one.
C. Teachers are key to shaping young minds.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
26. Which contribution does NOT belong to Philo Farnsworth?

People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental well-being and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University. The team also found that people who eat savoury (咸味的) snacks such as crisps, which are low in nutrients, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.
Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the study surveyed 428 adults from across the UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit, vegetables, sweet and salty snacks, and their psychological health. The research found that both nutrient-rich fruit and nutrient-poor salty snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health. They also found that there was no direct association between eating vegetables and psychological health. Based on the survey, the more often people ate fruit, the lower they scored for depression and the higher for mental well-being, independent of the overall quantity of fruit intake. By contrast, there was no link between these everyday memory lapses (差错) and fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks, suggesting a unique relationship between these nutrient-poor salty snacks, everyday mental lapses, and psychological health.
Lead author, PhD student Nicola-Jayne Tuck commented, “Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health and well-being, and while we did not directly examine causality here, our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor salty foods may increase everyday mental lapses, which in turn reduces psychological health.”
“It is possible that changing what we snack on could be a really simple way to improve our mental well-being. Conversely, it is also possible that the forthcoming restriction of processed snacks at checkouts, due to come in this October, could not only improve the country’s physical health, but mental health too.”
“Overall, it’s definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl.”
28. Which may lead to greater level of anxiety?
A. Vegetables. B. Fruit.
C. Salty snacks. D. Grain.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. There is a relation between the nutrient-poor snacks and mental health.
B. The more fruit people eat, the lower they scored for depression.
C. Rich fruit appears not to be linked to psychological health.
D. There is a direct link between eating vegetables and psychological health.
30. What does the underlined word “causality” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The relation between fruit and vegetables.
B. The close relation between exercise and health.
C. The relation between snacks and mental health.
D. The relation between diet and mental health and well-being.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Eating habits can prevent disease
B. Eating unhealthy snacks often is harmful to health
C. Eating vegetables often can improve mental health
D. Eating fruit often may contribute to positive mental well-being
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新研究,探讨水果、蔬菜及各类零食的消费与心理健康之间的关联,指出经常吃水果有助于提升积极心理健康状态、减少抑郁症状,而常吃营养匮乏的咸味零食易引发焦虑,同时给出了改善心理健康的饮食相关建议。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The team also found that people who eat savoury snacks such as crisps, which are low in nutrients, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety (该团队还发现,吃薯片等营养匮乏的咸味零食的人,更有可能出现更高程度的焦虑)”可知,咸味零食可能导致更高程度的焦虑。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The research found that both nutrient-rich fruit and nutrient-poor salty snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health (研究发现,富含营养的水果和营养匮乏的咸味零食似乎都与心理健康有关)”可知,营养匮乏的零食和心理健康之间存在关联。故选A。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health and well-being, and while we did not directly examine causality here, our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor salty foods may increase everyday mental lapses, which in turn reduces psychological health. (关于饮食如何影响心理健康和幸福感,人们知之甚少,虽然我们在这里没有直接研究causality,但我们的发现可能表明,经常吃营养不良的咸食物可能会增加每天的记忆失误,从而降低心理健康。)”可知,前文讨论的核心是饮食与心理健康和幸福感的关联,此处“causality”指代的就是这种因果关系。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章开篇核心研究结论是经常吃水果的人心理健康状况更积极、抑郁症状更少,后续围绕饮食与心理健康的关联展开,还建议养成吃水果的习惯。选项D“经常吃水果可能有助于积极的心理健康状态”准确概括了文章核心主旨,适合用作标题。故选D。

The human spine, or backbone, doesn’t just help us stand up straight. Inside the spine is the spinal cord (脊髓), which carries important information between the head and the lower part of the body. This information moves around as tiny, short bursts (短脉冲) of electricity which travel between the brain and the other parts of the body.
The legs and feet send “sense” information to the brain, saying they’re hurt or hot, for example. And the brain sends signals to the lower body, perhaps telling the legs to walk, dance, or sit down. When someone’s spinal cord is hurt, this means that information about senses doesn’t reach the brain from the lower body, and that control signals can’t make it to the lower body from the brain. When that happens, a person is “paralyzed”, and he can’t move his legs.
Now scientists in Lausanne, Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again. To help them walk again, the men had operations. A special device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord. This “ implant”contained sixteen electrodes. Electrodes are small objects that electricity can pass through. The researchers made sure the electrodes on the implant were lined up with the bundles of nerves (神经末梢) that control the leg muscles.
To begin with, the scientists controlled the implants from a tablet computer. Just hours after the implants were first used, all three men were taking steps, with support. In the past, scientists have had some success with similar implants in the lower spine. Some patients have even trained themselves over months to be able to walk.
This research is different. The patient’s brain isn’t sending “walking” messages to their legs. Instead, the tablet tells the implant to send the walking messages. The researchers used computers to create patterns of movement that would work well with each patient. The patient then uses the tablet to choose the pattern they want. That triggers (触发) the implant and the muscles move in the chosen way. Over time, the men were able to walk entirely on their own.
32. What is the function of the spinal cord?
A. It helps us stand up straight.
B. It sends instructions to the body.
C. It connects different parts of the body.
D. It delivers information between different parts of the body.
33. What happened to the three paralyzed men?
A. The operations enabled them to walk again.
B. The scientists put a special device next to their spines.
C. They could feel the electricity passing through their bodies.
D. They replaced the nerves that control the leg muscles with electrodes.
34. According to the text, how is this research different from the one in the past?
A. The position of the implant is changed.
B. The patients need more time to recover.
C. The patients are able to walk independently soon after the operation.
D. The instructions to walk are given by the implant rather than the brain.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. What Is Responsible for Paralysis
B. How Does Spine Work in Our Body
C. Spine Implant Lets Paralyzed People Walk Again
D. Scientists Use Tablet Computer to Control Patients’ Movement
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其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。
Our class had been preparing for the school sports meet’s 4×100-meter relay race for weeks. As the captain of the team, I felt both excited and nervous. Our team members — Li Ming, Wang Hong, Zhang Wei, and me — had practiced every afternoon after class. Li Ming was the fastest, so he ran the last leg; Wang Hong had steady hands for the first leg; Zhang Wei, with good reaction, took the second; and I was in charge of the third leg, connecting Zhang Wei and Li Ming.
The day of the race finally arrived. The playground was crowded with cheering students. When our names were called, we walked to the starting line, holding hands tightly and cheering for each other. “Remember, teamwork is everything!” I whispered to them.
The gun fired, and Wang Hong dashed out like an arrow. He ran fast and passed the baton to Zhang Wei smoothly. Zhang Wei accelerated immediately, keeping up with the leading runner. Soon it was my turn. I stretched out my hand, waiting for the baton. But suddenly, a student from another class bumped into Zhang Wei accidentally. The baton slipped from his hand and fell onto the ground!
I froze for a second. The other teams were rushing ahead. Zhang Wei looked panic-stricken, bending down to pick up the baton. At that moment, I remembered our promise — teamwork. Instead of blaming him, I shouted, “Hurry up! Pass it to me!” Zhang Wei handed me the baton, and I ran as fast as I could, trying to make up for the lost time. But when I reached Li Ming, we were still far behind the first two teams. Li Ming took the baton without a word, his eyes fixed on the finish line.

After helping the first runner, Li Ming continued running.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Li Ming started running with all his strength, his legs moving like wind. We cheered loudly for him from the side, our voices hoarse but full of hope. Surprisingly, he quickly caught up with the runner in third place. Then, he narrowed the gap with the second one. When he was only a few meters away from the first runner, the crowd screamed even louder. At that critical moment, the first runner suddenly stumbled and almost fell. Li Ming didn’t hesitate to reach out his hand and helped him up.
After helping the first runner, Li Ming continued running. Although he lost a little time, his action won cheers from everyone. Finally, he crossed the finish line in second place. We rushed to him, hugging each other tightly. The headmaster came over and praised our team, saying, “You didn’t just run a race; you showed the true meaning of teamwork and kindness.” We all smiled proudly, knowing that the friendship and teamwork we had were more precious than any gold medal.

In fact, it's only in an hour train ride from london. But for tourist, the main way to get to mercy island is by driving across the street. This long straight road is the only connection between the island and the mainland, but when the c is at the highest level, IT becomes impossible to cross. FAiling to check the timetable often results in tourists getting trapped, or worse, having to be rescued by the emergency services. However, I found IT comforting to follow the pattern of the waves. There's something beautiful about accepting natures power and learning to be patient, and there's plenty to do. While you are on the island, from expLoring the islands, pretty fishing villages and Sandy beaches to trying water sports, personally, I recommend you visit my parents, who will serve you with the most delicious seafood at reasonable Prices.
