Love letters written by a long-distance couple, a diary belonging to a teenage girl, and an old photo album are just a few of the hundreds of artifacts (手工制品) that Chelsey Brown has returned to their rightful owners. The heirloom (祖传遗物) hunter, who started this work in 2021, has helped people around the world get back their lost family treasures.
It all began when she was looking for nice old things at flea markets for her customers as a decorator. “My dad studies family history, so I’ve always felt connected to it. And it would break my heart every time I pass a box of family heirlooms at the flea market because I know that those things should be with the families they belong to,” said Chelsey.
“One day, I decided to use what my dad taught me and what I knew about researching, and see if I could start returning these artifacts to families.” When she finds an artifact with a name on it, Chelsey puts the name in genealogy (家谱) databases. She then looks through old public records, newspapers, wedding papers, cards, and other information to find the family of the original owner.
“Every single artifact has its own special story,” said Chelsey. “I actually like the letters and diaries best; you know, they can tell you things that no record ever could. I have probably come across every possible story you can think of.”
In addition to making an impact on the families who’ve received their relatives’ lost things, Chelsey’s work has also made her popular on social media. With more than 240,000 followers on TikTok, she’s able to share her love of history with younger generations while telling the long-lost stories behind the artifacts she finds.
“I’m inspiring a new generation to get involved or to become more interested in history and family history,” she said. “It’s exciting to see where this project will be 10 years from now because I only see it growing.”
4. What inspired Chelsey to start the work of returning artifacts?
A. Her wish to satisfy her dad’s expectations.
B. Her plan to find her family’s lost heirlooms.
C. Her understanding of the value of heirlooms.
D. Her worry about the damage to old artifacts.
5. How do genealogy databases help with Chelsey’s work on artifacts?
A. By connecting her with suitable buyers.
B. By helping her reproduce them more conveniently.
C. By enabling determination of artifacts’ market value.
D. By aiding in identifying the original owners’ families.
6. Why does Chelsey especially like old letters and diaries?
A. They are usually kept in good condition. B. They include more details of the past.
C. They inspire her own writing. D. They are easier to research.
7. What do Chelsey’s statements suggest about her project?
A. It is likely to have a lasting positive impact.
B. It can remind people to exchange their artifacts.
C. It can hardly impress the younger generation.
D. It may encourage the use of social media.
C
Simple songs are used to teach children important life skills in fun ways. These songs have the power to affect your child’s life forever: You likely remember songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still recall to this day. Likewise, the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your child’s ability to learn and memorize new information.
The rhythmic (有节奏的) structure of language is present in music and speech. When your child sings songs they will pick up on natural and unnatural rhythms. Pauses and stressed syllables (音节) or words are used in conversations to express emotion, and stress key points in conversations. Songs and rhymes can be used to remember many kinds of information. Music floods into all areas of the brain, allowing itself to be stored in multiple memory locations. The ability to retain information is increased when the child stores memories into multiple areas.
Children learn language quicker through songs rather than lectures. Singing contributes to short-term phrase learning for unfamiliar terms. If your child is young, singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases. These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn the learned language into long-term memory.
Research has found a significant link between beat-keeping and the ability to read. When your child keeps a beat, they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters.
There are small differences in spoken language that can greatly impact the ability to read in young children. Consonants (辅音) such as “b” and “p” can be difficult for a child to distinguish the difference on paper, but their learned ability to associate small changes in songs can help them understand the difference between the consonants while reading.
8. Why are simple songs powerful for children?
A. They teach special skills.
B. They have lasting effects.
C. They improve singing skills.
D. They develop deep thinking.
9. Why are songs good for language learning?
A. They are more interesting than talks.
B. They helps with long-term memory.
C. They teaches difficult expressions.
D. They makes repetition achievable.
10. What may happen if a child fails to maintain a beat?
A. Loss of hearing. B. Bad writing habits.
C. Poor reading skills. D. Less speaking fluency.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Songs in child development. B. Songs and consonants.
C. Songs and brain areas. D. Rhythms in language.
D
It’s nothing new that you can find many files or services you can download or use from the Internet. The question is: Is download legal or not? In most cases the answer is negative, because sharing and download are illegal. Of course, you can find files for legal download, but you have to pay for them.
It seems innocent if you click on the download mark, but it isn’t. It should be compared with stealing in a store. Would you steal a magazine, an MP3 player or a car? Downloading files from the Internet is theft, and sharing files, once you have stolen them, only makes it worse. For example, if everybody only downloaded files, movies wouldn’t make money and the studios wouldn’t invest millions of dollars to make new ones.
Many people may think it better, easier and cheaper to download files. That is the main reason why Internet users prefer sharing something to buying them. In the modern world we love convenience and what could be more convenient than getting music, films and games without having to leave your house? You don’t need to pay for what you get, and you don’t have to wait until shops open or the CD/ DVD you want is posted to you. However, you could be in big trouble if you are caught. You could go to prison as a result of acting unlawfully, but so far only a tiny minority of people have been charged with downloading files illegally. The majority of people who download files for personal use will not get in trouble. And that’s why it’s important for people to understand what the long-term consequences are if they don’t want to pay for their music, films and TV, Will film and music companies still spend millions of dollars every year if they have no chance of making a profit? The answer is plainly “no”.
Finally I would like to say that the Internet offers a lot of paid services, but people will always try to get them for free. To summarize my thoughts, I’d like to highlight the view that illegal download is both unfair to producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity. You have to decide whether to buy or download things.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Sharing files on the Internet is dangerous. B. Sharing files on the Internet can make a profit.
C. Download makes movies more popular. D. Downloading free files is as illegal as stealing.
13. Why do lots of people choose to download files for free online?
A. Because they don’t think they may be charged by the producers.
B. Because they follow others’ examples to do such things.
C. Because they think it is legal, convenient and simple to do so.
D. Because they think everything on the Net can be shared by others.
14. What does the underlined word “highlight” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Stress. B. Explain. C. Admit. D. Deny.
15. What is the main purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. He advises readers to download legal files.
B. He asks readers to limit the amount of free download.
C. He tells readers how to avoid being charged with downloading files illegally.
D. He wants to make it clear that downloading files for free is against the law.

52. 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。
A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy would ask for: a cell phone. I lived on that phone all summer. I always texted my friends, even at night. And I paid no attention to the people and things around myself. Being connected to the Internet was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when the time came for our family vacation that year. It was not the Disneyland trip or beach vacation that I had been hoping for. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special, something I used to do with my dad when I was a kid. We’re going camping in the forest!”
His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh, which was my communication style at that age. But he had made the decision and would not change his mind. I comforted myself by telling myself that it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced while they were busy preparing for the vacation.
My mind was on my phone, the texts flying back and forth. I focused on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the trip to our campsite.
I looked out of the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelled of trees. But that didn’t matter to me. The reason why I had looked up was something far more serious and annoying. My phone no longer had service. The signal was weak. During the last hour of the drive, there was no signal at all.
注意:
续写词数应为 150 左右;
请按如下格式作答。
When we finally arrived at the campsite, I stepped out of the car with a long face.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning I was woken up by soft rays of the sun.

Love letters written by a long-distance couple, a diary belonging to a teenage girl, and an old photo album are just a few of the hundreds of artifacts (手工制品) that Chelsey Brown has returned to their rightful owners. The heirloom (祖传遗物) hunter, who started this work in 2021, has helped people around the world get back their lost family treasures.
It all began when she was looking for nice old things at flea markets for her customers as a decorator. “My dad studies family history, so I’ve always felt connected to it. And it would break my heart every time I pass a box of family heirlooms at the flea market because I know that those things should be with the families they belong to,” said Chelsey.
“One day, I decided to use what my dad taught me and what I knew about researching, and see if I could start returning these artifacts to families.” When she finds an artifact with a name on it, Chelsey puts the name in genealogy (家谱) databases. She then looks through old public records, newspapers, wedding papers, cards, and other information to find the family of the original owner.
“Every single artifact has its own special story,” said Chelsey. “I actually like the letters and diaries best; you know, they can tell you things that no record ever could. I have probably come across every possible story you can think of.”
In addition to making an impact on the families who’ve received their relatives’ lost things, Chelsey’s work has also made her popular on social media. With more than 240,000 followers on TikTok, she’s able to share her love of history with younger generations while telling the long-lost stories behind the artifacts she finds.
“I’m inspiring a new generation to get involved or to become more interested in history and family history,” she said. “It’s exciting to see where this project will be 10 years from now because I only see it growing.”
4. What inspired Chelsey to start the work of returning artifacts?
A. Her wish to satisfy her dad’s expectations.
B. Her plan to find her family’s lost heirlooms.
C. Her understanding of the value of heirlooms.
D. Her worry about the damage to old artifacts.
5. How do genealogy databases help with Chelsey’s work on artifacts?
A. By connecting her with suitable buyers.
B. By helping her reproduce them more conveniently.
C. By enabling determination of artifacts’ market value.
D. By aiding in identifying the original owners’ families.
6. Why does Chelsey especially like old letters and diaries?
A. They are usually kept in good condition. B. They include more details of the past.
C. They inspire her own writing. D. They are easier to research.
7. What do Chelsey’s statements suggest about her project?
A. It is likely to have a lasting positive impact.
B. It can remind people to exchange their artifacts.
C. It can hardly impress the younger generation.
D. It may encourage the use of social media.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A

Simple songs are used to teach children important life skills in fun ways. These songs have the power to affect your child’s life forever: You likely remember songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still recall to this day. Likewise, the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your child’s ability to learn and memorize new information.
The rhythmic (有节奏的) structure of language is present in music and speech. When your child sings songs they will pick up on natural and unnatural rhythms. Pauses and stressed syllables (音节) or words are used in conversations to express emotion, and stress key points in conversations. Songs and rhymes can be used to remember many kinds of information. Music floods into all areas of the brain, allowing itself to be stored in multiple memory locations. The ability to retain information is increased when the child stores memories into multiple areas.
Children learn language quicker through songs rather than lectures. Singing contributes to short-term phrase learning for unfamiliar terms. If your child is young, singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases. These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn the learned language into long-term memory.
Research has found a significant link between beat-keeping and the ability to read. When your child keeps a beat, they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters.
There are small differences in spoken language that can greatly impact the ability to read in young children. Consonants (辅音) such as “b” and “p” can be difficult for a child to distinguish the difference on paper, but their learned ability to associate small changes in songs can help them understand the difference between the consonants while reading.
8. Why are simple songs powerful for children?
A. They teach special skills.
B. They have lasting effects.
C. They improve singing skills.
D. They develop deep thinking.
9. Why are songs good for language learning?
A. They are more interesting than talks.
B. They helps with long-term memory.
C. They teaches difficult expressions.
D. They makes repetition achievable.
10. What may happen if a child fails to maintain a beat?
A. Loss of hearing. B. Bad writing habits.
C. Poor reading skills. D. Less speaking fluency.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Songs in child development. B. Songs and consonants.
C. Songs and brain areas. D. Rhythms in language.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了歌曲能提高孩子的学习能力和记忆能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“These songs have the power to affect your child’s life forever: You likely remember songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still recall to this day.(这些歌曲具有永远影响孩子生活的力量:你可能还记得童年时教给你人生教训的歌曲,以及你可能至今仍能记住的新单词。)”可知,简单的歌曲可以影响孩子是因为它们的影响是持续的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Singing contributes to short-term phrase learning for unfamiliar terms. If your child is young, singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases. These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn the learned language into long-term memory.(唱歌有助于对不熟悉的术语进行短期的短语学习。如果你的孩子还小,唱歌是教他们不熟悉的单词和短语的好方法。反复进行这些短期记忆练习,将所学的语言转化为长期记忆。)”可知,因为歌曲有助于长期记忆,所以歌曲对语言学习有好处。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Research has found a significant link between beat-keeping and the ability to read. When your child keeps a beat, they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters.(研究发现,保持节拍和阅读能力之间存在显著联系。当你的孩子保持节拍时,他们使用大脑中负责听语音并将其与字母联系起来的部分。)”可知,如果孩子不能保持节拍,阅读能力会差。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中“Likewise, the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your child’s ability to learn and memorize new information.(同样,在日常活动中使用歌曲可以提高孩子学习和记忆新信息的能力。)”可知,本篇文章主要叙述了歌曲能提高孩子的学习能力和记忆能力,这两种能力,对孩子的发展是至关重要的,A项“Songs in child development.(儿童发展中的歌曲)”能够概括文章主旨。故选A项。

It’s nothing new that you can find many files or services you can download or use from the Internet. The question is: Is download legal or not? In most cases the answer is negative, because sharing and download are illegal. Of course, you can find files for legal download, but you have to pay for them.
It seems innocent if you click on the download mark, but it isn’t. It should be compared with stealing in a store. Would you steal a magazine, an MP3 player or a car? Downloading files from the Internet is theft, and sharing files, once you have stolen them, only makes it worse. For example, if everybody only downloaded files, movies wouldn’t make money and the studios wouldn’t invest millions of dollars to make new ones.
Many people may think it better, easier and cheaper to download files. That is the main reason why Internet users prefer sharing something to buying them. In the modern world we love convenience and what could be more convenient than getting music, films and games without having to leave your house? You don’t need to pay for what you get, and you don’t have to wait until shops open or the CD/ DVD you want is posted to you. However, you could be in big trouble if you are caught. You could go to prison as a result of acting unlawfully, but so far only a tiny minority of people have been charged with downloading files illegally. The majority of people who download files for personal use will not get in trouble. And that’s why it’s important for people to understand what the long-term consequences are if they don’t want to pay for their music, films and TV, Will film and music companies still spend millions of dollars every year if they have no chance of making a profit? The answer is plainly “no”.
Finally I would like to say that the Internet offers a lot of paid services, but people will always try to get them for free. To summarize my thoughts, I’d like to highlight the view that illegal download is both unfair to producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity. You have to decide whether to buy or download things.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Sharing files on the Internet is dangerous. B. Sharing files on the Internet can make a profit.
C. Download makes movies more popular. D. Downloading free files is as illegal as stealing.
13. Why do lots of people choose to download files for free online?
A. Because they don’t think they may be charged by the producers.
B. Because they follow others’ examples to do such things.
C. Because they think it is legal, convenient and simple to do so.
D. Because they think everything on the Net can be shared by others.
14. What does the underlined word “highlight” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Stress. B. Explain. C. Admit. D. Deny.
15. What is the main purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. He advises readers to download legal files.
B. He asks readers to limit the amount of free download.
C. He tells readers how to avoid being charged with downloading files illegally.
D. He wants to make it clear that downloading files for free is against the law.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

【14题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词前一句提到“the Internet offers a lot of services for money, but people will always try to get them for free.(互联网提供了很多有偿服务,但人们总是试图免费得到它们)”;划线词后表明作者的观点“illegal downloading is both unfair towards producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity.(非法下载对生产者是不公平的,对那些从事这种活动的人是危险的)”,故可推知,作者是想强调他的观点:免费下载对于生产者和对于下载文件的人都是不好的。由此推知,划线词“highlight”意思为“强调”。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Is download legal or not? In most cases the answer is negative, because sharing and download are illegal.(下载行为是否合法?在大多数情况下,答案是否定的,因为分享和下载都是违法的) ”;第二段“It should be compared with stealing in a store.(这就好比在商店偷东西)”;第四段“illegal downloading is both unfair towards producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity.(非法下载不仅对生产者不公平,而且对那些从事这种活动的人来说也很危险)”可知,文章的目的是作者明确指出,免费下载文件是违法的行为。故选D。

【答案】
Making Friends Online
With science and technology developing rapidly, a growing number of people have been making friends online.
Admittedly, the Internet makes it convenient for us to befriend people around the world, which has also broadened our horizons. Besides, with the aid of the Internet, we can keep in close touch with whoever we want to remain friends with, wherever they are.
But as the saying goes, every coin has two sides. There exist some drawbacks as well in terms of online friendship. People often say that on the Internet nobody knows whether you are a dog or not. So the friends we have made online may not be just what we think they are. Then, it is most likely that we’ll get cheated by the so-called friends.
Everything taken into consideration, we are supposed to have a reasonable attitude towards making friends online and think carefully before throwing yourself into it.

第二节(满分25分)
52. 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。
A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy would ask for: a cell phone. I lived on that phone all summer. I always texted my friends, even at night. And I paid no attention to the people and things around myself. Being connected to the Internet was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when the time came for our family vacation that year. It was not the Disneyland trip or beach vacation that I had been hoping for. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special, something I used to do with my dad when I was a kid. We’re going camping in the forest!”
His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh, which was my communication style at that age. But he had made the decision and would not change his mind. I comforted myself by telling myself that it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced while they were busy preparing for the vacation.
My mind was on my phone, the texts flying back and forth. I focused on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the trip to our campsite.
I looked out of the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelled of trees. But that didn’t matter to me. The reason why I had looked up was something far more serious and annoying. My phone no longer had service. The signal was weak. During the last hour of the drive, there was no signal at all.
注意:
续写词数应为 150 左右;
请按如下格式作答。
When we finally arrived at the campsite, I stepped out of the car with a long face.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning I was woken up by soft rays of the sun.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When we finally arrived at the campsite, I stepped out of the car with a long face. My phone showed no signal, and I felt like I was cut off from the world. Dad noticed my disappointment and said, “This is a chance to enjoy nature.” I reluctantly followed them, setting up the tent. As I walked around, I began to notice the beauty of the forest. The tall trees and the sound of birds made me feel a bit better. Maybe this trip wouldn’t be so bad after all.
The next morning I was woken up by soft rays of the sun. I opened my eyes and saw the golden light filtering through the trees. The air was fresh, and I felt a sense of peace. Dad was already up, cooking breakfast. We sat around the fire, sharing stories and laughing. I realized that without my phone, I was more connected to my family and nature. This trip taught me that sometimes, disconnecting can help us reconnect with what truly matters.
【解析】
【导语】本文以父母给我买了一部手机之后发生的故事为线索展开,讲述了我如何沉迷手机,忽视了身边的世界。直到一次去森林露营的暑假旅行,一家人来到了森林,手机没有信号,我备感失望。父亲利用这个机会教导我多关注身边的人与世界。在与自然和家人共度的时光中,我也懂得了有时放下科技设备,能够让人更接近真正重要的事物——自然与亲情。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我们终于到达露营地时,我一脸不情愿地下了车。”可知,第一段可描写主人公下车后因森林中手机无信号而不得不参与家人的活动,并观察到的情况。
②由第二段首句内容“第二知早上,我被柔和的阳光唤醒了。”可知,第二段可描写主人公醒来后发现周围的美好和感受。
2.续写线索:手机无信号——失望——父亲引导——不情愿参与家人活动——感受到自然之美——被阳光唤醒——与家人共度好时光——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①注意:notice/take notice of
②搭建:set up/put up
③四处走动:walk around/wander around/stroll around
情绪类
①失望、沮丧:disappointment/dismay
②一丝平静:a sense of peace/a sense of calmness
【点睛】[高分句型1] As I walked around, I began to notice the beauty of the forest. (由As引导时间状语从句)
[高分句型2] I realized that without my phone, I was more connected to my family and nature. (由that引导宾语从句)
