Experts believe there are between 8 and 14 million, but right now we only know about 1.5 million. However, scientists ____2____ new plant and animal species (物种) all the time—and that’s good news for us. In 2009, a university professor ____3____ Christopher Austin and his student Eric Rittmeyer discovered a new animal species. They were in Papua New Guinea, studying the wildlife on the island. One evening, they were in the jungle listening to animal sounds. The most common sound was the noise of frogs croaking loudly. But there was another sound—a much softer, high-pitched one that sounded like it came from something much smaller. At first, they couldn’t locate the sound, but after some time, they realized it came from the ground. They searched through the grass and dead leaves carefully, but what they found surprised them. It was a tiny frog just seven millimeters (毫米) long. “This frog has a call ____4____ doesn’t sound like a frog at all,” said Austin. The frog they discovered was the smallest in the world! Researchers believe that frogs are important because they help keep the environment clean. We can also use them to create new medicines. Whenever we find a new species, we learn new things. For that reason, scientists work very hard to find new plants and animals every day. But their jobs are getting more difficult. The forests that these animals live in are disappearing quickly. And, sadly, ____5____ are the animals. 1. A. are there B. there be C. there is D. there are 2. A. find B. will find C. are finding D. have found 3. A. named B. was named C. name D. naming 4.

There are also more modern and innovative styles. For example, in 2019, visitors were amazed by the kite version of China’s Tiangong Space Station. These kites showcase the excellent skills of local kite makers. The event features a big parade.

Actually, we are born creative and all have the ____13____ to express creativity. Bodies need ____14____ to be better, so does creativity. It should be trained from time to time. Creating is a way in which we challenge ourselves and think differently.

Creativity is neither just about the final ____16____, nor about the moment when you suddenly get a fantastic idea. It is a process (过程) in which we do a series of things. We can find ____17____ new or different in most things and practise creativity through small jobs. If we face a creative block (创造力凝滞), try to complete a daily task. Though some of us may think it doesn’t ____18____, the organized steps of completing a task may encourage our creativity. What’s more, after completing a task, we can often get a sense of ____19____. And it will provide us with the energy to finish other creative projects. Creating or learning creativity does not necessarily mean making something out of nothing.

Manners and rules: If you are the host, please: * Serve the tea with both of your hands. * Do not fill the teacup fully, since the hot tea soup might hurt the guests. * Keep an eye on the teacups of your guests and fill them in time.

It happened so often that she could see her teacher’s mouth open to shout at her as soon as she stepped through the door. She didn’t really blame (责怪) her teacher that much, though. She knew she hated repeating herself, so why wouldn’t her teacher? Just once, she wanted to impress her teacher by being ready. She got her things out the night before, and then organized them carefully. She double-checked to make sure there wasn’t a single question left unanswered in her homework. Then she made sure she had read her pages in the novel she was supposed to keep up in. Things looked good. After a late night preparing, she fell asleep, but woke up late. In the rush for the bus in the morning, she somehow forgot her backpack. Between breakfast, putting shoes on, and taking out the rubbish, she forgot her backpack! She was trying to impress her teacher, but she would just disappoint him further. Jane felt sick. It was like someone had hit her head. Just as she was about to go into class, she was asked to go to the office. Had her teacher already told the headmaster? Had they said that she had left her whole backpack at home? She stumbled (蹒跚) into the office, only to find her mother waiting for her. “You forgot your backpack. I know you tried hard to get ready, so I wanted to make sure you had your things.” Jane laughed and rushed off to class after hugging (拥抱) her mother. That day, the teacher didn’t shout at her.

C On February 4, Wang Yujia, 37, became the first Chinese musician to win the Grammy Award for the best classical instrumental solo (独奏奖) category. Wang’s special position in the classical music world is marked by her excellent skills. In January 2023, Wang presented a three and a half hours’ show in New York, which was described by the New York Times as a “once-in-a-lifetime “musical event Among the four piano concertos (协奏曲) Wang played, Piano Concerto No. 3, known as one of “the hardest concertos”, challenges musicians with all kinds of skills. Cyril Smith from Britain once said that it required the strength of shoveling (铲) 10 tons of coal to play the concerto. Moreover, the piece requires the musician to show a great number of feelings and themes including sadness, heroism and happiness. Although there were all the great challenges, Wang didn’t find it a problem to complete the music. “There are big physical challenges on the piano, but it is even harder to use special skills to finish the work. That’s what is really fun, “Wang told China Daily. The fashionable musician is also known for the bright colours, brave designs of her clothes and wearing 10 cm high heels (高跟鞋) on the show. This caused many reviews against her in the past, with some saying she wanted to attract people. But Wang is not afraid of being true to herself, saying to The Guardian, “If the music is beautiful and makes people happy, why not dress to fit? It’s about power of music.” She hopes people notice that below the surface is her great love for classical music. “The more I play a concerto, the more to be found. It’s like a long-term exploration,” Wang said. 27. The New York Times used the word “once-in-a-lifetime” to tell people ________. A. the show lasted for a long time B. the show was the best of all times C. one could only have the show once in a lifetime D. Wang Yujia impressed people deeply with her show 28. According to Cyril Smith, ________. A. Piano Concerto No. 3 is the most beautiful concerts B. a musician needs great strength while playing the concerto C. shoveling 10 tons of coal is important before playing the show D. musicians need to communicate with others about the feelings 29. If you are the clothes designer for Wang Yujia, which of the following will you choose for her next show? A. A bright green dress with high heels. B. A dark blue suit with a pair of boots. C. A black dress with a pair of white gloves. D. A traditional sweater with a pair of jeans. 30. Which of the following can best describe Wang Yujia? A. Friendly and confident. B. Modest and helpful. C. Powerful and fashionable. D. Humorous and kind. D DIY needs creative minds. To be creative means to be in love with life. Daniella Hudson grew up in a very creative family. “Mum and dad made all our furniture,” she says. “Not because we couldn’t afford it, they just preferred making items to buying them. So visits to city furniture shops nearby just weren’t part of my childhood.” When Daniella visited a design show with her class at the age of ten, she realized she wanted to follow her parents’ example. “There were so many different styles of tables and chairs there,” she says. Since that day, she’s been making furniture. “I’ve learned by giving mum and dad a hand, and through watching videos on the Internet,” she adds. Her first piece was a table, made soon after visiting the show. It was similar to one she had seen there. “They had furniture from the last hundred years, and I copied a 1920s design,” says Daniella. “Sadly, no one has wanted tables like that for years. I was pleased with the quality of my work, though. I’ve painted it recently because the wood I chose at the start was too dark.” Daniella started selling her furniture at a local market. “I spent most of my free time inside, so this gave me the chance to get some fresh air and find out what people thought about my designs.” Judging by how many items Daniella sold, they thought it was pretty good. “In the end, I had to give up,” says Daniella. “I’d also started an Internet business, which was doing so well. It was taking up every spare minute I had. The market closed down just after that anyway.” Recently, Daniella was asked to take part in a local design show. “One of the organizers had bought one of my pieces off the Internet. I couldn’t believe it when she told me there would be a thousand visitors,” she says. Instead of worrying about this, Daniella was excited by the chance. “I was amazed she thought my work was good enough,” Daniella says. “I had little idea what visitors would think about it. My furniture is quite different from the designers whose work I’ve seen in magazines—mine is more traditional.” But Daniella received lots of orders at the show and the future is looking bright for this young design star. 31. What made Daniella interested in creating furniture? A. Helping her parents make their own furniture. B. Visiting furniture shops in a city near her home. C. Watching online videos of how to make furniture. D. Seeing different kinds of furniture on a school trip. 32. What does Daniella say about the first furniture she made? A. It wasn’t very well-made. B. It wasn’t a fashionable piece. C. She still likes the colour she used. D. She designed the table herself. 33. Why did Daniella stop selling her furniture at a market? A. The market closed down. B. Too few people were buying it. C. She no longer had enough time. D. She didn’t like working outdoors. 34. How did Daniella feel when she was invited to her first design show? A. She felt confident her designs would be popular. B. She felt curious about seeing other designers’ works. C. She felt worried about how many people would be there. D. She felt surprised someone was impressed by her furniture. 35. What would Daniella say in an advertisement for her company? A. I’m a young furniture designer, whose works have appeared in several design shows and are sold in many city furniture shops. B. I’ve created furniture since I was just ten years old. Many of the thousand visitors to a recent design show liked my work. C. After starting my business at a local market, I’ve finally opened my own store in a local city. D. I’m interested in the history of furniture but my designs are very modern and use the latest styles. 四、短文填空(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分) A.根据提示写单词 Sports come in many shapes and sizes.

Amazingly, 20 robots joined about 12,000 human runners in the race. The robots were different, from the 180-centimeter-tall “Tiangong Ultra” to the 75-centimeter-tall “Little Giant”. They had human-like looks and ran on two legs. Each robot started at a slightly different time so that they would not bump into each other. To give each robot the best chance, each travelled with support workers. Just as human runners needed to get energy from water, the robots were allowed to get new batteries during the race. Companies were also allowed to replace (替换) their robots when they could no longer run. The first robot to cross the finishing line was Tiangong Ultra. It finished the race in 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds, while the winner of the men’s race finished in 1 hour and 2 minutes. To the robots, the most important thing was not to win, but to finish. At last, six of the robots crossed the finishing line. The race was a success, even for the robots who didn’t finish. Their efforts will help their developers improve future human-like robots. The race also marked the first time in human history—human-like robots have tried a half-marathon. However, the marathon also displayed some weaknesses of the robots. They needed people to change their batteries, prevent falls, and even control them. These challenges show hidden problems in the field: behaving like humans requires further work in materials science, storing power and AI learning abilities. In the future, as AI gets smarter, the gap (差距) between humans and machines will narrow. For China, developing these human-like robots isn’t just about making them run faster—it’s about which country can make full use of science and technology to take the lead in the world. And in that marathon, every fall and hard-won step matter. Human-Like Robots Run Half Marathon in China Introduction Twenty robots ran ____51____ with thousands of human runners in a half-marathon in Beijing on 19 April. About the robotic runners The robots were not in the ____52____ size, but they all looked like humans with two legs. Each robot started at a different time to reduce the ____53____ of bumping into each other. Batteries could be changed and robots could even be replaced if it was ____54____. Results Tiangong Ultra came first, although it was far ____55____ the human winner. Six of the robots ____56____ to finish the race. Meanings ● It will help ____57____ develop human-like robots in the future. ● China made ____58____ because the event marked the first time for human-like robots to try a half-marathon. Challenges To develop human-like robots, what needs to be improved? _______________59_______________ How do you understand the last sentence “And in that marathon, every fall and hard-won step matter.”? Explain it in your own words. _______________60_______________ B. 请根据文章内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Can you imagine a world without money, or a world without even the idea of money? Well, thousands of years ago, money was not used at all. I____61____, humans had the “barter” (物物交换) system, this meant if people wanted something they weren’t able to make or produce t____62____, they had to find someone who could produce it. Then they had to g____63____ that person something in exchange. It wasn’t only goods that were bartered, it was s____64____ too: making wheels, repairing leather, keeping cows. Later, certain things came to be used as money because everyone would take these things in exchange. They were always n____65____. For example, cows, grains, salt and beads were all used as money at some time. It is difficult for us to imagine buying a horse, for example, with bags of salt but that is e____66____ what happened. Salt, in fact, was so v____67____ that some soldiers were paid in it. It is said that the word “salary” came from this practice. Finally, all these kinds of money were replaced (取代) by pieces of metal, especially gold and silver. Later on, people made coins, which had a consistent (一致的) purity and weight, and represented certain amounts of various objects. So a certain number of coins represented a cow, or 50 pounds of rice, and so on. Today, of course, we have notes and coins issued (发行) by the government, and everyone a____68____ this as money. Money makes it possible to trade in our modern world. You might sometimes find a friend who you can do a direct trade with—perhaps one skateboard or game for another. But mostly this is impossible. Money also allows us to save. It would be difficult to save up lots of cows until you wanted to spend them. W____69____ would you put them while you saved? Money is also a measure (衡量) of value. If you have ever done jobs around the house to earn money to buy something like a bicycle, you will have learnt the value of what you were s____70____ for by how much work you had to do. Money plays an important role in our lives. So get your money’s worth. 六、书面表达(满分20分) 71. 中国的深度求索Deep Seek，智能机器人等引起国内外的广泛关注。人工智能是把“金钥匙“，有机遇，当然也有挑战。那么，作为中学生的我们应如何更好地抓住机遇，应对挑战？请根据以下表格提示，就可能遇到的问题和解决方案写一篇演讲稿，谈谈你的想法。 Problems Attitude & Solutions Depending too much on AI manage time wisely, think actively and critically (批判性).

In 2009, a university professor ____3____ Christopher Austin and his student Eric Rittmeyer discovered a new animal species. They were in Papua New Guinea, studying the wildlife on the island. One evening, they were in the jungle listening to animal sounds. The most common sound was the noise of frogs croaking loudly. But there was another sound—a much softer, high-pitched one that sounded like it came from something much smaller. At first, they couldn’t locate the sound, but after some time, they realized it came from the ground. They searched through the grass and dead leaves carefully, but what they found surprised them. It was a tiny frog just seven millimeters (毫米) long. “This frog has a call ____4____ doesn’t sound like a frog at all,” said Austin. The frog they discovered was the smallest in the world! Researchers believe that frogs are important because they help keep the environment clean. We can also use them to create new medicines. Whenever we find a new species, we learn new things. For that reason, scientists work very hard to find new plants and animals every day. But their jobs are getting more difficult. The forests that these animals live in are disappearing quickly. And, sadly, ____5____ are the animals. 1. A. are there B. there be C. there is D. there are 2. A. find B. will find C. are finding D. have found 3. A. named B. was named C. name D. naming 4. A. what B. that C. who D. it 5. A. as B. neither C. so D. either 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. B 5. C 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕动植物物种展开，讲述了世界上动植物物种数量情况，科学家不断发现新物种，还举例2009年大学教授和学生发现世界上最小的青蛙这一事件，最后提到科学家发现新物种工作变难，动物生存环境堪忧。 【1题详解】 句意：你知道世界上有多少种动植物吗？ 宾语从句用陈述语序，应该是“how many kinds of plants and animals there are in the world”，所以用“there are”，D选项符合。“there be”是原形，不能直接用于此句；“there is”用于单数；“are there”是疑问语序，均不符合特殊疑问句结构。 【2题详解】 句意：然而，科学家们一直在发现新的动植物物种——这对我们来说是个好消息。 根据“all the time”可知，这里强调科学家发现新物种这个动作一直在进行，用现在进行时“are finding”，C选项正确。“find”是一般现在时；“will find”是一般将来时；“have found”是现在完成时，均不能体现动作的持续性。 【3题详解】 句意：2009年，一位名叫克里斯托弗·奥斯汀的大学教授和他的学生埃里克·里特迈耶发现了一种新的动物物种。 这里“named Christopher Austin”是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰“a university professor”，表示“被叫做……的”，A选项正确。“was named”是谓语动词形式，此处不需要；“name”是动词原形；“naming”是现在分词，均不符合语法结构。 【4题详解】 句意：“这种青蛙的叫声听起来根本不像青蛙，”奥斯汀说。 这是一个定语从句，先行词是“call”，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词“that”，B选项正确。“what”不能引导定语从句；“who”用于指人；“it”不能引导从句。 【5题详解】 句意：并且，遗憾的是，动物也是如此。 “so + be动词/助动词/情态动词 + 主语”表示“……也是如此”，这里说动物也和森林一样在快速消失，C选项符合。“as”一般用于肯定句中的“如此……以至于……”结构；“neither”用于否定句表示“……也不”；“either”用于否定句句末表示“也”，均不符合语境。 B Imagine a sky filled with colorful kites of all shapes and sizes. Isn’t ____6____ magical? The Weifang International Kite Festival ____7____ every year in April. It is one of the most important kite events in China. Weifang is known ____8____ the “Kite Capital of the World”. The history of kite making and flying in the city ____9____ over 2,000 years. Various kite designs can be seen during the festival. Traditional shapes include fish, birds, butterflies and dragons. There are also more modern and innovative styles.

People from around the world can display their kites. ____10____ visitors can try their hand at kite making in many workshops. I like Weifang International Kite Festival very much. Because it connects tradition with modernity. 6. A. they B. them C. those D. it 7. A. celebrates B. holds C. is held D. happens 8. A. for B. as C. among D. in 9. A. comes back B. gets back C. goes back D. dates back 10. A. Besides B. Finally C. However D. Above all 【答案】6. D 7. C 8. B 9. D 10. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了潍坊国际风筝节，包括其举办时间、潍坊“世界风筝之都”的称号、风筝制作和放飞的历史、风筝的多样设计、活动特色以及作者对风筝节的喜爱，展现了风筝节将传统与现代相连接的特点。 【6题详解】 句意：想象一下天空中满是各种形状和大小的彩色风筝。这难道不神奇吗？ 根据“Imagine a sky filled with colorful kites of all shapes and sizes.”可知，此处指前面描述的天空满是彩色风筝的场景很神奇，it指代前面提到的整个场景，they“他们”、them“他们（宾格）”、those“那些”均不能指代场景。 【7题详解】 句意：潍坊国际风筝节每年四月举行。 根据“every year in April”可知，句子时态是一般现在时，且主语“The Weifang International Kite Festival”和谓语动词“举行”之间是被动关系，要用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构是“am/is/are+动词的过去分词”，C选项“is held”符合，celebrates“庆祝”、holds“举行”是一般现在时的主动形式，happens“发生”不符合语境。 【8题详解】 句意：潍坊被称为“世界风筝之都”。 be known as“被称为”，是固定短语，for“为了”、among“在……之中”、in“在……里面”均不符合语境。 【9题详解】 句意：这座城市制作和放飞风筝的历史可以追溯到2000多年前。 根据“over 2,000 years”可知，此处指历史追溯到2000多年前，date back“追溯到”，符合语境，comes back“回来”、gets back“取回”、goes back“回去”均不符合语境。 【10题详解】 句意：此外，游客还可以在许多工作坊尝试制作风筝。 根据“The event features a big parade. People from around the world can display their kites.”和“visitors can try their hand at kite making in many workshops.”可知，前面说活动有一个大型游行，来自世界各地的人可以展示他们的风筝，此处说游客还可以在工作坊尝试制作风筝，besides“此外”符合语境，finally“最后”、however“然而”、above all“最重要的是”均不符合语境。 C My cousin Andrew always comes up with new ideas or invents new things. So, people always think he is creative, and consider the activity as making new things. This could be ____11____ so many people do not think themselves creative. ____12____, creativity can simply be about expressing ourselves through daily acts. Actually, we are born creative and all have the ____13____ to express creativity. Bodies need ____14____ to be better, so does creativity. It should be trained from time to time. Creating is a way in which we challenge ourselves and think differently. Sometimes, the path to be more creative is not to follow others. ____15____, we can add tomato sauce instead of sugar or milk to coffee. Creativity is neither just about the final ____16____, nor about the moment when you suddenly get a fantastic idea. It is a process (过程) in which we do a series of things. We can find ____17____ new or different in most things and practise creativity through small jobs. If we face a creative block (创造力凝滞), try to complete a daily task. Though some of us may think it doesn’t ____18____, the organized steps of completing a task may encourage our creativity. What’s more, after completing a task, we can often get a sense of ____19____. And it will provide us with the energy to finish other creative projects. Creating or learning creativity does not necessarily mean making something out of nothing.

A. quickly B. freely C. carefully D. clearly 【答案】11. A 12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 16. A 17. B 18. B 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕创造力展开，先指出人们因对创造力的常见看法而觉得自己没有创造力，接着说明我们生来就有创造力，都有表达创造力的能力，还阐述了创造力是一个过程，面对创造力凝滞时完成日常任务可激发创造力，最后强调创造或学习创造力不一定要无中生有，而是要让自己自由思考。 【11题详解】 句意：这可能就是为什么很多人认为自己没有创造力。 上文提到人们认为安德鲁有创造力是因为他总想出新点子或发明新东西，把创造活动看作是制造新东西，下文说很多人不认为自己有创造力，这里需要一个词来引导原因，why“为什么”符合语境，用于解释原因。how“怎样”侧重方式；when“什么时候”侧重时间；where“哪里”侧重地点，均不符合此处逻辑。 【12题详解】 句意：然而，创造力可以仅仅是通过日常行为来表达我们自己。 前文说很多人不认为自己有创造力，后文说创造力可以通过日常行为表达自己，前后意思转折，However“然而”表示转折关系。Otherwise“否则”；Moreover“而且”；Anyway“无论如何”，均不符合此处转折的逻辑。 【13题详解】 句意：实际上，我们生来就有创造力，并且都有表达创造力的能力。 根据语境，我们生来就有创造力，那么就有表达创造力的能力，ability“能力”符合。spirit“精神”；value“价值”；goal“目标”，均与表达创造力的能力无关。 【14题详解】 句意：身体需要锻炼才能变得更好，创造力也是如此。 身体变得更好需要锻炼，这里将创造力和身体进行类比，所以创造力也需要锻炼，exercising“锻炼”符合。checking“检查”；relaxing“放松”；displaying“展示”，均不符合此处类比的逻辑。 【15题详解】 句意：例如，我们可以往咖啡里加番茄酱而不是糖或牛奶。 前面说变得更富有创造力的途径不是跟随别人，后面举了往咖啡里加番茄酱而不是糖或牛奶的例子，For example“例如”用于举例说明。As usual“像往常一样”；So far“到目前为止”；Above all“最重要的是”，均不符合此处举例的语境。 【16题详解】 句意：创造力既不只是关于最终的产品，也不只是关于你突然得到一个绝妙想法的那一刻。 根据语境，这里说的是创造力的结果，最终的产品用product表示，product“产品”符合。price“价格”；problem“问题”；practice“实践”，均不符合此处关于创造力结果的描述。 【17题详解】 句意：我们可以在大多数事情中发现一些新的或不同的东西，并通过小工作来实践创造力。 根据语境，这里表示在大多数事情中能发现一些新的或不同的东西，something“某事，某物”符合。anything“任何事”常用于否定句和疑问句；nothing“没有什么”；everything“每件事”，均不符合此处语境。 【18题详解】 句意：尽管我们中的一些人可能认为这不起作用，但完成一项任务的有条理的步骤可能会激发我们的创造力。 根据语境，完成日常任务可能被认为不起作用，但有条理的步骤能激发创造力，work“起作用”符合。end“结束”；form“形成”；spread“传播”，均不符合此处语境。 【19题详解】 句意：更重要的是，完成一项任务后，我们常常会有一种成就感。 完成一项任务后会有成就感，a sense of achievement“成就感”是固定搭配，achievement“成就”符合。humour“幽默”；beauty“美丽”；fashion“时尚”，均不符合此处语境。 【20题详解】 句意：在许多情况下，它意味着允许我们自由地思考。 根据后文“Just let our thoughts fly.”可知是让思想自由飞翔，也就是自由地思考，freely“自由地”符合。quickly“快速地”；carefully“仔细地”；clearly“清楚地”，均不符合此处语境。 三、阅读理解(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分) A The ancient Chinese tea ceremony (仪式) is a practice of preparing, serving, and enjoying tea. It might start in the Tang Dynasty or even earlier and it reached its greatest time in the Song Dynasty. The traditional Chinese tea ceremony is usually held in important situations to welcome guests. Main steps: * Prepare a tea set. To hold a Chinese tea ceremony, a full tea set is needed, including a teapot, a serving bowl, cups, plates, etc. * Heat the tea set. This step can help tea fully give off its nice smell. * Put tea leaves into the teapot. Use the teaspoon, not the hand, to place some tea leaves into the teapot. * Wash tea leaves. Pour the hot water into the teapot and keep it for a few seconds, and then pour out water quickly. * Brew tea. Refill the teapot with hot water of a proper temperature, cover it and wait for a few minutes to keep the pleasant smell of the tea soup. Manners and rules: If you are the host, please: * Serve the tea with both of your hands. * Do not fill the teacup fully, since the hot tea soup might hurt the guests. * Keep an eye on the teacups of your guests and fill them in time. If you are the guest, please: * Receive the teacup with both hands when being served with tea. * Show your admiration and thanks to the host when smelling or drinking the tea soup. * Take a small mouthful of tea soup every time instead of drinking it up at a time. * Dress properly to attend the tea ceremony. 21.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国古老茶仪式的相关内容，包括其起源、举行场合、主要步骤以及主客在茶仪式中的礼仪规范等。 【21题详解】 第二段“Main steps”部分提到“Heat the tea set. This step can help tea fully give off its nice smell.”以及“Put tea leaves into the teapot. Use the teaspoon, not the hand, to place some tea leaves into the teapot.”，这表明在把茶叶放进茶壶之前需要加热茶具。 【22题详解】 在“Manners and rules”部分提到“If you are the guest, please: Take a small mouthful of tea soup every time instead of drinking it up at a time.”，意思是客人每次小口喝茶汤而不是一次喝完，也就是慢慢喝茶以表示礼貌，这被认为是好的礼仪，D选项符合。 【23题详解】 文章主要围绕中国古老的茶仪式展开，茶仪式属于文化范畴，所以这篇文章最有可能来自杂志的文化部分。 B Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.

I know you tried hard to get ready, so I wanted to make sure you had your things.” Jane laughed and rushed off to class after hugging (拥抱) her mother. That day, the teacher didn’t shout at her.

Wang’s special position in the classical music world is marked by her excellent skills. In January 2023, Wang presented a three and a half hours’ show in New York, which was described by the New York Times as a “once-in-a-lifetime “musical event Among the four piano concertos (协奏曲) Wang played, Piano Concerto No. 3, known as one of “the hardest concertos”, challenges musicians with all kinds of skills. Cyril Smith from Britain once said that it required the strength of shoveling (铲) 10 tons of coal to play the concerto. Moreover, the piece requires the musician to show a great number of feelings and themes including sadness, heroism and happiness. Although there were all the great challenges, Wang didn’t find it a problem to complete the music. “There are big physical challenges on the piano, but it is even harder to use special skills to finish the work. That’s what is really fun, “Wang told China Daily. The fashionable musician is also known for the bright colours, brave designs of her clothes and wearing 10 cm high heels (高跟鞋) on the show. This caused many reviews against her in the past, with some saying she wanted to attract people. But Wang is not afraid of being true to herself, saying to The Guardian, “If the music is beautiful and makes people happy, why not dress to fit? It’s about power of music.” She hopes people notice that below the surface is her great love for classical music. “The more I play a concerto, the more to be found.

To be creative means to be in love with life. Daniella Hudson grew up in a very creative family. “Mum and dad made all our furniture,” she says. “Not because we couldn’t afford it, they just preferred making items to buying them. So visits to city furniture shops nearby just weren’t part of my childhood.” When Daniella visited a design show with her class at the age of ten, she realized she wanted to follow her parents’ example. “There were so many different styles of tables and chairs there,” she says. Since that day, she’s been making furniture. “I’ve learned by giving mum and dad a hand, and through watching videos on the Internet,” she adds. Her first piece was a table, made soon after visiting the show. It was similar to one she had seen there. “They had furniture from the last hundred years, and I copied a 1920s design,” says Daniella. “Sadly, no one has wanted tables like that for years. I was pleased with the quality of my work, though. I’ve painted it recently because the wood I chose at the start was too dark.” Daniella started selling her furniture at a local market. “I spent most of my free time inside, so this gave me the chance to get some fresh air and find out what people thought about my designs.” Judging by how many items Daniella sold, they thought it was pretty good. “In the end, I had to give up,” says Daniella. “I’d also started an Internet business, which was doing so well. It was taking up every spare minute I had. The market closed down just after that anyway.” Recently, Daniella was asked to take part in a local design show. “One of the organizers had bought one of my pieces off the Internet. I couldn’t believe it when she told me there would be a thousand visitors,” she says. Instead of worrying about this, Daniella was excited by the chance. “I was amazed she thought my work was good enough,” Daniella says. “I had little idea what visitors would think about it. My furniture is quite different from the designers whose work I’ve seen in magazines—mine is more traditional.” But Daniella received lots of orders at the show and the future is looking bright for this young design star. 31. What made Daniella interested in creating furniture? A. Helping her parents make their own furniture. B. Visiting furniture shops in a city near her home. C. Watching online videos of how to make furniture. D. Seeing different kinds of furniture on a school trip. 32. What does Daniella say about the first furniture she made? A. It wasn’t very well-made. B. It wasn’t a fashionable piece. C. She still likes the colour she used. D. She designed the table herself. 33. Why did Daniella stop selling her furniture at a market? A. The market closed down. B. Too few people were buying it. C. She no longer had enough time. D. She didn’t like working outdoors. 34. How did Daniella feel when she was invited to her first design show? A. She felt confident her designs would be popular. B. She felt curious about seeing other designers’ works. C. She felt worried about how many people would be there. D. She felt surprised someone was impressed by her furniture. 35. What would Daniella say in an advertisement for her company? A. I’m a young furniture designer, whose works have appeared in several design shows and are sold in many city furniture shops. B. I’ve created furniture since I was just ten years old. Many of the thousand visitors to a recent design show liked my work. C. After starting my business at a local market, I’ve finally opened my own store in a local city. D. I’m interested in the history of furniture but my designs are very modern and use the latest styles. 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 34. D 35.

Amazingly, 20 robots joined about 12,000 human runners in the race. The robots were different, from the 180-centimeter-tall “Tiangong Ultra” to the 75-centimeter-tall “Little Giant”. They had human-like looks and ran on two legs. Each robot started at a slightly different time so that they would not bump into each other. To give each robot the best chance, each travelled with support workers. Just as human runners needed to get energy from water, the robots were allowed to get new batteries during the race. Companies were also allowed to replace (替换) their robots when they could no longer run. The first robot to cross the finishing line was Tiangong Ultra. It finished the race in 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds, while the winner of the men’s race finished in 1 hour and 2 minutes. To the robots, the most important thing was not to win, but to finish. At last, six of the robots crossed the finishing line. The race was a success, even for the robots who didn’t finish. Their efforts will help their developers improve future human-like robots. The race also marked the first time in human history—human-like robots have tried a half-marathon. However, the marathon also displayed some weaknesses of the robots. They needed people to change their batteries, prevent falls, and even control them. These challenges show hidden problems in the field: behaving like humans requires further work in materials science, storing power and AI learning abilities. In the future, as AI gets smarter, the gap (差距) between humans and machines will narrow. For China, developing these human-like robots isn’t just about making them run faster—it’s about which country can make full use of science and technology to take the lead in the world. And in that marathon, every fall and hard-won step matter. Human-Like Robots Run Half Marathon in China Introduction Twenty robots ran ____51____ with thousands of human runners in a half-marathon in Beijing on 19 April. About the robotic runners The robots were not in the ____52____ size, but they all looked like humans with two legs. Each robot started at a different time to reduce the ____53____ of bumping into each other. Batteries could be changed and robots could even be replaced if it was ____54____. Results Tiangong Ultra came first, although it was far ____55____ the human winner. Six of the robots ____56____ to finish the race. Meanings ● It will help ____57____ develop human-like robots in the future. ● China made ____58____ because the event marked the first time for human-like robots to try a half-marathon. Challenges To develop human-like robots, what needs to be improved? _______________59_______________ How do you understand the last sentence “And in that marathon, every fall and hard-won step matter.”? Explain it in your own words. _______________60_______________ 【答案】51. together 52. same 53. risk 54. necessary 55. behind 56. managed 57. developers 58. history 59. Materials science, power storage, AI learning. 60. Every fall and hard-won step in the marathon is meaningful, for they can help developers improve robots and also show China’s efforts in sci-tech development. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了4月19日在北京举行的人形机器人半程马拉松比赛，包括参赛机器人情况、比赛结果、意义、面临的挑战，以及对比赛相关话语的理解。 【51题详解】 文章第一段明确表述“20 robots joined about 12,000 human runners in the race.”，意思是20个机器人和大约12000名人类跑步者一起参加了比赛，“join...in...”可理解为“和……一起进行……”，这里题目用“together”更简洁地表达了机器人和人类跑步者一起跑步的意思，所以第一空应填“together”。 【52题详解】 文章第二段提到“The robots were different, from the 180-centimeter-tall ‘Tiangong Ultra’ to the 75-centimeter-tall ‘Little Giant’.”，说明机器人大小不同，即不是相同尺寸，“not in the same size”表示“不是相同尺寸”，所以第二空应填“same”。 【53题详解】 文章第二段指出“Each robot started at a slightly different time so that they would not bump into each other.”，每个机器人出发时间稍有不同是为了避免碰撞，“reduce the risk of...”表示“降低……的风险”，这里说降低碰撞的风险，所以第三空应填“risk”。 【54题详解】 文章第二段提到“Companies were also allowed to replace (替换) their robots when they could no longer run.”，即当机器人不能再跑时公司可以替换它们，也就是如果必要的话可以替换机器人，“necessary”表示“必要的”，所以第四空应填“necessary”。 【55题详解】 文章第三段表明“It finished the race in 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds, while the winner of the men’s race finished in 1 hour and 2 minutes.”，“Tiangong Ultra”完成比赛用时2小时40分42秒，而人类男子比赛获胜者用时1小时2分钟，说明“Tiangong Ultra”远远落后于人类获胜者，“far behind”表示“远远落后于”，所以第五空应填“behind”。 【56题详解】 文章第三段提到“At last, six of the robots crossed the finishing line.”，最后六个机器人冲过了终点线，“manage to do sth.”表示“设法做成某事”，这里说六个机器人设法完成了比赛，时态为一般过去时，所以第六空应填“managed”。 【57题详解】 文章第四段指出“Their efforts will help their developers improve future human-like robots.”，它们的努力将帮助它们的开发者改进未来的人形机器人，所以第七空应填“developers”。 【58题详解】 文章第四段提到“The race also marked the first time in human history—human-like robots have tried a half-marathon.”，这次比赛也标志着人类历史上人形机器人首次尝试半程马拉松，对中国来说这是创造了历史，“make history”表示“创造历史”，所以第八空应填“history”。 【59题详解】 文章第五段提到“These challenges show hidden problems in the field: behaving like humans requires further work in materials science, storing power and AI learning abilities.”，这些挑战显示了该领域隐藏的问题：像人类一样行动需要在材料科学、储存能量和人工智能学习能力方面进一步开展工作，所以第九空应填“Materials science, power storage, AI learning”。 【60题详解】 文章最后一段提到“For China, developing these human-like robots isn’t just about making them run faster—it’s about which country can make full use of science and technology to take the lead in the world. And in that marathon, every fall and hard-won step matter.”，对中国来说，开发这些人形机器人不仅仅是让它们跑得更快，而是关于哪个国家能充分利用科学技术在世界领先。在这次马拉松中，每一次跌倒和来之不易的步伐都很重要。意思就是在马拉松中每一次跌倒和来之不易的步伐都是有意义的，因为它们能帮助开发者改进机器人，也展示了中国在科技发展方面的努力，所以第十空应填“Every fall and hard-won step in the marathon is meaningful, for they can help developers improve robots and also show China’s efforts in sci-tech development.” B. 请根据文章内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Can you imagine a world without money, or a world without even the idea of money? Well, thousands of years ago, money was not used at all. I____61____, humans had the “barter” (物物交换) system, this meant if people wanted something they weren’t able to make or produce t____62____, they had to find someone who could produce it. Then they had to g____63____ that person something in exchange. It wasn’t only goods that were bartered, it was s____64____ too: making wheels, repairing leather, keeping cows. Later, certain things came to be used as money because everyone would take these things in exchange. They were always n____65____. For example, cows, grains, salt and beads were all used as money at some time. It is difficult for us to imagine buying a horse, for example, with bags of salt but that is e____66____ what happened. Salt, in fact, was so v____67____ that some soldiers were paid in it. It is said that the word “salary” came from this practice. Finally, all these kinds of money were replaced (取代) by pieces of metal, especially gold and silver. Later on, people made coins, which had a consistent (一致的) purity and weight, and represented certain amounts of various objects. So a certain number of coins represented a cow, or 50 pounds of rice, and so on. Today, of course, we have notes and coins issued (发行) by the government, and everyone a____68____ this as money. Money makes it possible to trade in our modern world. You might sometimes find a friend who you can do a direct trade with—perhaps one skateboard or game for another. But mostly this is impossible. Money also allows us to save. It would be difficult to save up lots of cows until you wanted to spend them. W____69____ would you put them while you saved? Money is also a measure (衡量) of value. If you have ever done jobs around the house to earn money to buy something like a bicycle, you will have learnt the value of what you were s____70____ for by how much work you had to do. Money plays an important role in our lives. So get your money’s worth. 【答案】61.
