At the time, he helped with the soccer program at his summer camp. “I realized I could make a difference, even as a kid,” said Noah. At another summer camp, Noah helped kids with their art projects. He was also part of a group to beautify schools and parks with painting. The most impressive (令人印象深刻) part? He did all this before he even turned 14. When Noah was asked about his favorite part of volunteering, he answered, “I love the smiles, hugs and thank-yous.” Since he turned 14, Noah has taken on many other volunteer projects. When he sees a need, he fills it. Once Noah learned about kids who needed meals on weekends when they didn’t have access (接触的机会) to school lunches. He then joined a group that spent one Saturday afternoon each month delivering (运送) hot suppers to both kids and their caretakers. “When I found out that I could actually do it every Saturday,” said Noah, “it became a thing I looked forward to each week.” During the past year, Noah has helped people with intellectual disabilities (智力缺陷) create art projects and tutored elementary students in reading. Most recently, he began helping the elderly with other volunteers. “We deliver birthday cakes to everyone over 89 during their birthday month, and provide transportation (交通工具) to get groceries (食品) or attend medical appointments (就医),” explained Noah. Noah’s love for volunteering shows no signs of stopping. “It is so rewarding (有意义的) to know that I made a difference in someone’s life,” said Noah. 39. What did Noah help kids with in his first volunteering experience? A. Art projects. B. Sports activities. C. Painting pictures. D. Cleaning parks. 40. Why did Noah join the group to deliver meals to kids on weekends? A. To show his love for cooking. B. To get free transportation. C. To meet the kids’ needs. D. To kill time on weekends. 41. Which word best describes Noah according to the story? A. Smart. B. Honest. C. Creative. D. Warm-hearted. 【答案】39. B 40. C 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Noah从7岁开始参与志愿服务，在成长过程中不断帮助他人，用实际行动传递温暖与善意的故事。 39题详解】 第一段提到“he helped with the soccer program at his summer camp”，说明Noah第一次志愿服务时帮助的是体育活动。 【40题详解】 第五段提到“Once Noah learned about kids who needed meals on weekends... He then joined a group...”，说明Noah加入送餐小组是为了满足孩子们周末的用餐需求。 【41题详解】 全文描述了Noah从7岁起持续参与志愿服务，帮助过运动营的孩子、艺术项目的孩子、需要周末餐食的孩子、智力障碍者、小学生和老人，体现了他的热心善良，因此“热心肠的”最能描述他。 C Are you worried about past mistakes? Did you let your friends down? Sometimes, we think about these things too much. It makes us feel worried and tired. Cooking can be a great help for mental health (心理健康) . It makes people feel in control and happy again. Julie Ohana, a social worker, mixed her love for cooking with talk therapy (谈话疗法) .She believes that the kitchen can start a change in people’s lives. “The kitchen provides a chance for people to recognise opportunities (识别机会) for change,” said Ohana. Talk therapy is like talking to a special friend. This friend is good at listening. You can share your feelings, thoughts and problems with this friend. Then, he or she can give you advice to help you feel happier and more confident. It is a safe and helpful way to work through things that are bothering (困扰) you. Ohana found that doing sessions (治疗) in the kitchen can make things move at a faster pace. “Cooking offers immediate satisfaction as you work your way through a recipe (食谱) ,” Ohana added. She uses cooking to help people build their confidence and relax. She starts by learning about what food people like to eat, their cooking skills and allergies (过敏) . Then, they prepare dishes together. Ohana thinks it’s important that when a person is cooking, they pay close attention to the process. Like art or music therapy, cooking is about the process, not just the result. She thinks that making meals, while being completely focused (专注的) , is a very special and important experience. 42. How did the writer start the text? A. By asking questions. B. By telling a story. C. By comparing facts. D. By giving numbers. 43. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Cooking. B. The kitchen. C. Talk therapy. D. A change. 44. What does Paragraph 4 explain? A. Why people need to follow a certain recipe. B. Why Ohana uses cooking in therapy sessions. C. How different dishes make people feel happy. D. How Ohana does therapy sessions in the kitchen. 45. According to Ohana, what is important in cooking during therapy? A. The final dish. B. The speed of making a dish. C. Learning new cooking skills. D. Being focused on cooking itself. 【答案】42. A 43. C 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了烹饪疗法。 【42题详解】 第一段提到“Are you worried about past mistakes? Did you let your friends down?”，是以两个问句开头，通过提问引出话题。 【43题详解】 第三段整段围绕“谈话疗法（talk therapy）”介绍它的作用，划线词It承接上文，指代前文介绍的谈话疗法。 【44题详解】 第四段说明了Ohana发现把治疗放在厨房进展更快，且烹饪能带来即时的满足感，解释了她为什么会把烹饪融入治疗。 【45题详解】 最后一段“Ohana thinks it’s important that when a person is cooking, they pay close attention to the process”明确提到Ohana认为烹饪治疗中，重要的是专注于烹饪过程而非结果，全身心投入烹饪本身才是重要的。 D Wildlife monitoring (野生动物监测) is the process of watching and recording information about animal populations in natural environments. Traditionally, this required long-term fieldwork. But now, researchers are using AI technology to make the process faster. In the process of monitoring, AI has an important influence on information collection and image identification (图像识别). In 2023, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) used AI-powered cameras to monitor wildlife in Eastern Australia. These special cameras took more than 7 million photos of different animals. To process these photos, WWF also introduced an AI system called Wildlife Insights, which can identify (识别) animals and remove (去除) useless photos. AI also helps with wildlife protection. For example, AI-powered drones (无人机) with heat-sensing cameras can fly over forests or grasslands to monitor animal behavior, populations, and natural homes even at night! However, AI isn’t perfect. Sometimes, it might misidentify animals if the information in it is missing or not complete. Another problem is about people’s personal information.

The best time to eat lychees (荔枝) is coming again! Many people enjoy eating this sweet fruit. But have you found that it is hard to keep lychees fresh? Lychees lose water quickly because of their special skin (表皮). It has many tiny holes that let water run out easily. Also, different from other fruits, the lychee has an inside that is not connected to (连接) the skin. Once a lychee is picked, the skin can’t send water to the inside part to keep it fresh. Like us, fruits also breathe, and they use sugars (糖) to do so. A study from Huazhong Agricultural University found that lychees breathe faster than many other fruits. This uses up their sugars and nutrients (营养) quickly, making them go bad fast. The fast breathing creates bad smells and makes the fruit lose its flavor (风味). It also gives out things that turn the fruit brown and soft quickly. More importantly, lychees let out a bad gas (气体) after being picked. It can make many fruits, including lychees and bananas, age and dry out faster. Scientists in Guangdong Province have found a good way to keep lychees fresher. They quickly freeze (冷冻) lychees at -35 ℃ before they get too old. This helps make the water in the lychees form smaller ice crystals (冰晶) than usual, which protect the fruit’s cells (细胞) instead of hurting them. This way, most of the flavor is kept. 49. Why do lychees lose water quickly according to the text? A. Their skin is too thin to keep water. B. Their skin contains too much sugar. C. Their skin has many holes that let out water. D. Their skin is too dry to send water to the inside. 50. What do we know about lychees’ breathing? A. It helps lychees grow faster. B. It makes lychees taste worse. C. It helps lychees produce sugars. D. It can stop lychees from turning soft. 51. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Why lychees can’t grow in cold weather. B. What people can do to keep lychees fresh. C. Why ice crystals can help lychees grow new cells. D. How lychees’ flavor can change in a cold environment. 52. What’s the best title for the text? A. Freezing Lychees Fast B. A Delicious Summer Fruit C. Why Lychees Are Popular in June D. How to Pick Fresh Lychees from Trees 【答案】49. C 50. B 51. B 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了荔枝难以保鲜的原因，以及科学家发现的一种能让荔枝更新鲜的冷冻保鲜方法。 【49题详解】 第二段研究发现指出“It has many tiny holes that let water run out easily.”，这直接说明荔枝的表皮有许多小孔，水分容易流失。 【50题详解】 第三段中“The fast breathing creates bad smells and makes the fruit lose its flavor (风味).”说明，荔枝呼吸速度快，会消耗糖分和营养，产生异味并失去风味，因此“使荔枝味道变差”与文意相符。 【51题详解】 最后一段首句“Scientists in Guangdong Province have found a good way to keep lychees fresher. They quickly freeze (冷冻) lychees at -35 ℃ before they get too old.”主要讲述了人们可以通过快速冷冻的方法来保持荔枝新鲜，因此主要介绍了“人们可以做些什么来保持荔枝新鲜”。 【52题详解】 通读全文可知，文章先分析荔枝不易保鲜的原因，最后重点介绍了快速冷冻荔枝的保鲜方法，因此“Freezing Lychees Fast”最能概括全文主旨。 第二节 F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求) 。 An old man lived with his little grandson on a farm. Every morning Grandpa got up early to read books. One day, the little boy asked, “Grandpa, I’ve tried to read just like you, but I forgot what I read as soon as I closed the book. What’s the use of reading?” The grandfather said nothing but found a basket which was used for carrying coal. “Take this basket and bring back a basket of water from the river,” he said to the boy. The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. Grandpa laughed and said, “Run faster next time. Try again.” This time, the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. He told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket. Grandpa said, “Try one more time.” This time, the boy ran as fast as he could, but when he reached his grandfather, the basket was still empty. “Grandpa, it’s useless!” said the boy. Grandpa smiled, “Look at the basket.” The boy found that the basket was different. The basket used to be dirty. But now it was clean. “That’s what happens when you read the book. You might not remember everything, but when you read, you change from inside to outside,” said Grandpa. 53. What was the basket used for? (不超过10个词) _________________________________________________________ 54. What was the basket like when the boy reached home the second time? (不超过5个词) _________________________________________________________ 55. What can we learn about reading books from the story? (不超过15个词) _________________________________________________________ 【答案】53. It was used for carrying coal. 54. It was empty. 55. We might not remember everything, but when we read, we change from inside to outside. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了爷爷通过让孙子用曾用于装煤的篮子打水的事情，向孙子解释读书的作用。 【53题详解】 第二段指出“The grandfather said nothing but found a basket which was used for carrying coal.”，这个篮子曾用于装煤。 【54题详解】 第三段提到“This time, the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home.”，第二次男孩跑得更快，但回家前篮子又空了。 【55题详解】 最后一段提到“That’s what happens when you read the book. You might not remember everything, but when you read, you change from inside to outside”，这就是读书时发生的事，可能不会记住所有内容，但读书会让人由内而外地改变。 第四部分 写 (共两大题，满分25分) Ⅸ.单词拼写 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

At the time, he helped with the soccer program at his summer camp. “I realized I could make a difference, even as a kid,” said Noah. At another summer camp, Noah helped kids with their art projects. He was also part of a group to beautify schools and parks with painting. The most impressive (令人印象深刻的) part? He did all this before he even turned 14. When Noah was asked about his favorite part of volunteering, he answered, “I love the smiles, hugs and thank-yous.” Since he turned 14, Noah has taken on many other volunteer projects. When he sees a need, he fills it. Once Noah learned about kids who needed meals on weekends when they didn’t have access (接触的机会) to school lunches. He then joined a group that spent one Saturday afternoon each month delivering (运送) hot suppers to both kids and their caretakers. “When I found out that I could actually do it every Saturday,” said Noah, “it became a thing I looked forward to each week.” During the past year, Noah has helped people with intellectual disabilities (智力缺陷) create art projects and tutored elementary students in reading. Most recently, he began helping the elderly with other volunteers. “We deliver birthday cakes to everyone over 89 during their birthday month, and provide transportation (交通工具) to get groceries (食品) or attend medical appointments (就医),” explained Noah. Noah’s love for volunteering shows no signs of stopping. “It is so rewarding (有意义的) to know that I made a difference in someone’s life,” said Noah. 39. What did Noah help kids with in his first volunteering experience? A. Art projects. B. Sports activities. C. Painting pictures. D. Cleaning parks. 40. Why did Noah join the group to deliver meals to kids on weekends? A. To show his love for cooking. B. To get free transportation. C To meet the kids’ needs. D. To kill time on weekends. 41. Which word best describes Noah according to the story? A. Smart. B. Honest. C. Creative. D. Warm-hearted. C Are you worried about past mistakes? Did you let your friends down? Sometimes, we think about these things too much. It makes us feel worried and tired. Cooking can be a great help for mental health (心理健康) . It makes people feel in control and happy again. Julie Ohana, a social worker, mixed her love for cooking with talk therapy (谈话疗法) .She believes that the kitchen can start a change in people’s lives. “The kitchen provides a chance for people to recognise opportunities (识别机会) for change,” said Ohana. Talk therapy is like talking to a special friend. This friend is good at listening. You can share your feelings, thoughts and problems with this friend. Then, he or she can give you advice to help you feel happier and more confident. It is a safe and helpful way to work through things that are bothering (困扰) you. Ohana found that doing sessions (治疗) in the kitchen can make things move at a faster pace. “Cooking offers immediate satisfaction as you work your way through a recipe (食谱) ,” Ohana added. She uses cooking to help people build their confidence and relax. She starts by learning about what food people like to eat, their cooking skills and allergies (过敏) . Then, they prepare dishes together. Ohana thinks it’s important that when a person is cooking, they pay close attention to the process. Like art or music therapy, cooking is about the process, not just the result. She thinks that making meals, while being completely focused (专注) , is a very special and important experience. 42. How did the writer start the text? A. By asking questions. B. By telling a story. C. By comparing facts. D. By giving numbers. 43. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Cooking. B. The kitchen. C. Talk therapy. D. A change. 44. What does Paragraph 4 explain? A. Why people need to follow a certain recipe. B. Why Ohana uses cooking in therapy sessions. C. How different dishes make people feel happy. D. How Ohana does therapy sessions in the kitchen. 45. According to Ohana, what is important in cooking during therapy? A. The final dish. B. The speed of making a dish. C. Learning new cooking skills. D. Being focused on cooking itself. D Wildlife monitoring (野生动物监测) is the process of watching and recording information about animal populations in natural environments. Traditionally, this required long-term fieldwork. But now, researchers are using AI technology to make the process faster. In the process of monitoring, AI has an important influence on information collection and image identification (图像识别). In 2023, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) used AI-powered cameras to monitor wildlife in Eastern Australia. These special cameras took more than 7 million photos of different animals. To process these photos, WWF also introduced an AI system called Wildlife Insights, which can identify (识别) animals and remove (去除) useless photos. AI also helps with wildlife protection. For example, AI-powered drones (无人机) with heat-sensing cameras can fly over forests or grasslands to monitor animal behavior, populations, and natural homes even at night! However, AI isn’t perfect. Sometimes, it might misidentify animals if the information in it is missing or not complete. Another problem is about people’s personal information. Camera drones might record people or communities near wildlife areas by accident, raising questions about who controls this information. Even with these problems, AI still helps a lot. In the future, AI could save more animals from disappearing—if we use it wisely! 46. What can Wildlife Insights be used for? A. Removing useless photos. B. Taking photos of wildlife. C. Discovering dangerous wildlife. D. Catching animals on wildlife. 47. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A. The difficulty of developing AI systems. B. People’s opinions on the use of AI. C. The problems of using AI in wildlife monitoring. D. People’s misunderstandings about AI-powered tools. 48. Which of the following would the writer agree with? A. AI is a very helpful tool. B. AI can replace traditional methods. C. People should not depend on AI too much. D. People should give up using AI in some fields. E It’s June. The best time to eat lychees (荔枝) is coming again! Many people enjoy eating this sweet fruit. But have you found that it is hard to keep lychees fresh? Lychees lose water quickly because of their special skin (表皮). It has many tiny holes that let water run out easily. Also, different from other fruits, the lychee has an inside that is not connected to (连接) the skin. Once a lychee is picked, the skin can’t send water to the inside part to keep it fresh. Like us, fruits also breathe, and they use sugars (糖) to do so. A study from Huazhong Agricultural University found that lychees breathe faster than many other fruits. This uses up their sugars and nutrients (营养) quickly, making them go bad fast. The fast breathing creates bad smells and makes the fruit lose its flavor (风味). It also gives out things that turn the fruit brown and soft quickly. More importantly, lychees let out a bad gas (气体) after being picked. It can make many fruits, including lychees and bananas, age and dry out faster. Scientists in Guangdong Province have found a good way to keep lychees fresher.

Every morning, Grandpa got up early to read books. One day, the little boy asked, “Grandpa, I’ve tried to read just like you, but I forgot what I read as soon as I closed the book. What’s the use of reading?” The grandfather said nothing but found a basket which was used for carrying coal. “Take this basket and bring back a basket of water from the river,” he said to the boy. The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. Grandpa laughed and said, “Run faster next time. Try again.” This time, the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. He told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket. Grandpa said, “Try one more time.” This time, the boy ran as fast as he could, but when he reached his grandfather, the basket was still empty. “Grandpa, it’s useless!” said the boy. Grandpa smiled, “Look at the basket.” The boy found that the basket was different. The basket used to be dirty. But now it was clean. “That’s what happens when you read the book.
