A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了德国一项关于巧克力对心脏有益的研究，包括研究时长、发现、成分原理以及专家的健康建议。 【1题详解】 句意：这项研究持续了超过八年。 last 表示“持续” 时，后接一段时间，需用介词for构成last for + 时间段。其他选项with译为“带有”、at译为“在……点”、by译为“通过”均不符合“持续一段时间”的搭配。 【2题详解】 句意：黑巧克力是最健康的选择，因为它展现出了最大的效果。 从句it...修饰的是dark chocolate，描述的是客观事实/研究结论，需用一般现在时。主语it是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式shows。 【3题详解】 句意：吃巧克力最多的人患心脏问题的风险更低。 先行词是people，在从句...ate the most chocolate中作主语，需用指人的关系代词who引导定语从句。 【4题详解】 句意：专家建议人们不要一次吃太多巧克力。 固定搭配advise somebody not to do something.译为“建议某人不要做某事”。故选D。 【5题详解】 句意：所以最好少量享用它。 此处指代前文提到的不可数名词chocolate，在动词enjoy后作宾语，需用人称代词宾格it。its是物主代词，it’s是it is的缩写，itself是反身代词，均不符合语法功能。 B German philosopher Walter Benjamin’s One-Way Street is a book made up of short pieces. It mainly ____6____ poems, diaries and quick thoughts. It doesn’t follow a normal story but instead feels like walking through a city. Benjamin writes about everyday life, dreams, and how we see the world around us. Reading this book felt like ____7____ a new city without a map. At first, I was confused because there wasn’t a clear storyline. However, I soon started to enjoy its many surprises. One part that stood out for me was when Benjamin compared reading to traveling along a road, and copying a text to walking that road on foot. He said that by copying, we understand the text more ____8____. This made me think about how I study. Sometimes, just reading ____9____ enough—I need to break things down to get it. Benjamin’s writing made me realize that everyday moments can have deeper reasons. Even something as ____10____ as walking to school can tell us about life. His book encouraged me to pay more attention to the small things and learn from them. 6. A. include B. includes C. included D. including 7. A. explore B. to explore C. exploring D. exploration 8. A. deep B. depth C. deeper D. deeply 9. A. not B. isn’t C. doesn’t D. didn’t 10. A. simple B. simply C. simpler D. simplest 【答案】6. B 7. C 8. D 9. B 10. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评。作者分享了阅读德国哲学家沃尔特·本雅明名著《单行道》的体会，通过将阅读比作旅行，阐述了深度思考、抄写文本以及关注生活细微之处对学习和认知的意义。 【6题详解】 句意：它主要包括诗歌、日记和随想。 根据全文语境，此处在陈述书内容的客观事实，应用一般现在时。主语“It”为第三人称单数，动词应使用三单形式。 【7题详解】 句意：读这本书感觉像在没有地图的情况下探索一座新城市。 根据文中“Reading this book felt like…a new city”可知，介词“like”后接动词时应用动名词形式。exploring意为“探索”。 【8题详解】 句意：他说通过抄写，我们能更深入地理解文本。 根据语境，空格处需修饰动词“understand”，应使用副词。deeply意为“深刻地”，符合句意。deep为形容词，depth为名词，deeper为比较级。 【9题详解】 句意：有时候，仅仅阅读是不够的——我需要把东西分解开来理解。 根据后文“I need to break things down to get it”可知，作者在强调“仅仅阅读”不足以理解。主语是动名词短语“just reading”，系动词用单数，结合否定语境应用isn’t。 【10题详解】 句意：即使是像步行上学这样简单的事情也能告诉我们关于生活的道理。 根据结构“as…as”可知，两个as之间需填入形容词或副词的原级。something为代词，应用形容词修饰。simple意为“简单的”。 C I remember turning on my iPad one day in Grade 5 after an accidental conversation with my cousin about scary story ideas. Hours later, I completed my own short story. Since then, I ____11____ many stories, whether finished or not.

I began to compare myself with ____12____ and gradually became less confident about sharing my work. “What if my writing isn’t ____13____ everybody else’s?” I wondered. Often, hobbies start as something fun, a way to pass time with friends and family, or to stay away from our busy life. Writing was my real hobby, one ____14____ I picked up almost ten years ago. Yet we have to accept that it’s OK not to be good at something. Hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to be great at everything. Maybe you never get better at the skills your hobbies teach you, and that doesn’t matter. As long as it brings you joy. Keep doing that hobby. After all, a hobby is something you do for ____15____ in your free time. If it’s no longer fun, it’s no longer a hobby. 11. A. would write B. was writing C. was written D. have written 12.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过分享自己从五年级起坚持写作却因他人评价而产生自我怀疑的经历，阐述了爱好的真谛不在于出类拔萃，而在于其带来的纯粹快乐，鼓励读者接纳自己的不完美。 【11题详解】 句意：从那以后，我写了很多故事，不管是完成的还是没完成的。 根据空前的标志词“Since then”可知，此处需使用现在完成时态。应选用have written。 【12题详解】 句意：我开始把自己和别人比较，逐渐对分享我的作品变得不那么自信了。 由于此处泛指除去作者之外的“其他人”，应用代词others。若用other需接名词；the other指两者中的另一个。 【13题详解】 句意：“如果我的写作没有其他人的好怎么办？”我想道。 此处为同级比较，考查“as + adj. + as”结构。由于位于否定句中，可使用“so + adj. + as”结构。应选用so good as。 【14题详解】 句意：写作是我真正的爱好，一个我差不多十年前开始的爱好。 此处指代前面的先行词“one (hobby)”，在定语从句中作及物动词picked up的宾语。应选用关系代词that。 【15题详解】 句意：毕竟，爱好是你在空闲时间为了乐趣而做的事情。 此处位于介词for之后作宾语，需填入名词。应选用pleasure表示“乐趣/愉悦”。pleasant（形容词）、pleased（形容词感受）均不符。 D Masaru Ibuka, the chairman of Sony, was once at a company planning meeting. Suddenly he had a great idea. He ____16____ the meeting and asked everyone what would happen if Sony sold headphones with a tape player. Almost everyone thought he was crazy.

It is the act of delaying a task. It prevents you from following what you start to do. Why do we procrastinate? The best way to understand is to imagine that you have two selves: Present Self and Future Self. Researchers have found that the Present Self and the Future Self are seldom in agreement with each other. The Future Self wants to be slim and fit, but the Present Self wants a hamburger. There are different ways to stop procrastinating. You can make the rewards of taking action happen at once. You can bring future rewards into the present moment. For example, only listen to audiobooks you love while exercising or only watch your favourite show while doing tiring housework. Secondly, make the results of procrastination more direct. Make yourself pay the costs of procrastination sooner in many ways. If you exercise by yourself, missing once won’t influence your life much at all. However, if you promise to exercise with a friend, the cost of missing it becomes higher. It means you have to break a promise. Another popular tool is to design your future actions. You can control your future eating habits by buying food in small packages rather than in the large size. You can stop wasting time on your phone by deleting (删除) games or social media apps. Lastly, make the task much easier to finish. One popular way to make habits easier is to use the two-minute rule, which says, “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.” The idea is to make it as easy as possible to get started and then trust that momentum will carry you further into the task after you begin. 29. The writer uses Present Self and Future Self to ________. A. discuss present needs B. explain the cause of procrastination C. compare past and present D. describe two different future actions 30. To prevent procrastination, we can ________. A. promise to exercise with friends B. stop buying food in small packages C. think of new tasks in two minutes D. exercise after doing tiring housework 31. The passage is mainly about the ________. A. results of procrastination B. reasons for procrastination C. ways to stop procrastination D. influences of procrastination 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章首先介绍了拖延症的定义及成因，即“当下自我”与“未来自我”之间的冲突，随后重点阐述了多种克服拖延的具体实用策略，如即时奖励、增加拖延成本及“两分钟法则”等。 【29题详解】 第二段第一、二句指出：“Why do we procrastinate? The best way to understand is to imagine that you have two selves: Present Self and Future Self.”。作者在提出关于“为什么会拖延”的疑问后，立即引入这两个概念进行解释，由此可以推断，使用这两个概念的目的是为了阐明拖延产生的原因。 【30题详解】 第四段指出：“…if you promise to exercise with a friend, the cost of missing it becomes higher.”。作为“使拖延后果更直接”这一建议的具体实例，说明与朋友约定共同锻炼是防止拖延的有效手段之一。 【31题详解】 文章在首段和第二段简要交代背景与成因后，从第三段至第六段依次通过“There are different ways…”、“Secondly…”、“Another popular tool…”及“Lastly…”等标志词，详细列举了多种针对性的对策。选项C“克服拖延症的方法”高度概括了文章的核心探讨内容。 C Have you ever wondered what else you can do on the train besides sleeping or scrolling through your phone? Actually, in China, trains have turned into centres which bring together the public and the nation’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH, 非物质文化遗产). Trains go across China and they are becoming ideal places for introducing local traditional culture. A good example is the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. On the ICH train, Gulayier, dressed in traditional clothes, sang Oroqen folk songs (鄂伦春民歌) and his partner played the Oroqen jaw harp, a musical instrument. Tourists on the train, especially those from southern China, sang and danced excitedly with the two performers together. Gulayier said the train made it easier to hold tourists’ attention to his shows. He thought the train was a good platform for promoting (促进) ICH. Traditional heritage comes to life on trains. More ICH such as Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing, Yulin puppet shows, and tea-picking operas in Guangxi have also made appearances on high-speed trains across China. It offers passengers a close-up way to experience traditional culture. Professor Xiao Fang from Beijing Normal University shares Gulayier’s opinion on the new use of ICH trains. He has pointed out another advantage of this. Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism. When passengers enjoy local traditions on board, they often develop a deeper interest in exploring the places they pass through. However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges, including the narrow space on trains and passengers getting on and off at each station. Therefore, some solutions are coming up — cultural corners show traditional arts, and QR codes connect to more digital information. These help passengers to explore ICH at their own pace and continue learning after their journey ends. The success of ICH trains offers valuable lessons for cultural protection worldwide, proving that innovation (革新) and tradition can work together to keep cultural heritage alive for future generations. 32. What is the fresh experience for passengers on the K7041 train? A. Travelling farther north. B. Wearing traditional clothes. C. Joining in live shows. D. Having fun on the phone. 33. What do Gulayier and Professor Xiao both agree on? A. ICH encourages more local visits. B. Trains help make ICH more popular. C. ICH improves the Chinese train journeys. D. Passengers welcome performers on ICH trains. 34. What does Paragraph 5 mention about the ICH train journeys? A. Their features and influence. B. Their reasons and results. C. Their problems and methods. D. Their future and improvement. 35. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Trains push China’s cultural heritage further B. China puts arms around local artists on ICH trains C. More ICH trains begin running on railways in China D. Train passengers share different local cultures of China 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍中国列车成为传播非物质文化遗产的新平台，带来全新体验并面临挑战。 【32题详解】 根据第二段内容，非遗表演者在该列车上进行现场演出，乘客可一同参与歌舞，因此新鲜体验是加入现场演出。 【33题详解】 第二段中Gulayier提出：“He thought the train was a good platform for promoting (促进) ICH.”，第四段提出：“Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism.”，说明两人均认为火车有助于推广非遗，即让非遗更受欢迎。 【34题详解】 第五段提出：“However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges...Therefore, some solutions are coming up...”说明本段先提出挑战，再提出解决方法。 【35题详解】 文章围绕火车成为非遗推广的新平台展开，点明这种创新模式助力中国非遗文化的传播与保护，A选项“Trains push China’s cultural heritage further”符合文章核心主旨。 D Seed (种子) dispersal is an interesting topic of study. It involves the movement, or transport, of seeds away from the parent plant. Plants disperse (传播) seeds in a variety of ways. Wind, water, animals and even fire help scatter (撒播) plant seeds. Some plants, such as dandelions, have seeds that are small and light. One dandelion can produce up to a hundred seeds. As dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind, it is likely that some seeds will land in areas in which new plants can grow. A milkweed pod is filled with hundreds of seeds that can waft (飘荡) in the breeze. Both milkweed and dandelion seeds have been known to travel hundreds of miles on a wind current. Some plants, such as peas and violets, use an explosion (爆破) to send their seeds away. As a pea pod dries, it will eventually burst and send seeds flying in every direction. Violets use explosive dispersal as well. When the seeds are ready, the pod will open with a pop, ejecting seeds with surprising force. Many plants that live near water, such as the coconut tree, have seeds that can float and be carried great distances by the water. If dispersed into an ocean, a coconut can even be transported to another continent. Animals help plants disperse seeds in several ways. Some plants, like the burdock, have barbs that can get caught in the fur of animals passing by. An animal may carry the seed to a new location before the seed gets shaken off its fur. Other plants produce seeds inside fruits, such as apples and berries, that get eaten by animals. The seeds pass through the animal’s body and are dropped in other locations. The animal gets a tasty treat, and the plant grows in new places as the seeds are dispersed. Squirrels bury seeds for later. They return to find many, but not all, of the seeds they have stored. It could be said that a squirrel is nature’s gardener, as these seeds often grow into new plants. This is how many oak trees have been planted, as the acorn is one of a squirrel’s favorite treats. Fire is a less common method of seed dispersal. A forest fire can destroy most plants in an area, creating an open space. Seeds designed to take advantage of this space live in cones held together by resin (树脂). The glue-like resin melts at the temperature of a forest fire, allowing the seeds to be released to begin regrowth of the forest. 36. Why do most plants disperse seeds? A. To keep the ocean clean. B. To help new plants grow. C. To satisfy humans’ daily needs. D. To treat animals in the forest. 37. How does the writer introduce the ways seeds are dispersed? A. By showing the steps in order. B. By explaining cause and effect. C. By providing the examples in detail. D. By comparing and noting the differences. 38. What does “a squirrel is nature’s gardener” probably mean? A. Squirrels are born gardeners in nature. B. Squirrels can help people take care of gardens. C. Squirrels like planting acorns instead of eating them. D. Squirrels help disperse seeds because they forget where to find seeds. 39. Which method of seed dispersal is clearly good for both a plant and an animal? A. A coconut seed floats to another continent. B. Milkweed and dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind. C. A squirrel buries an acorn but does not come back to dig it up. D. An animal eats a fruit and the seeds are taken away to another place. 40. Which of the following sentences from the passage is an opinion? A. Seed dispersal is an interesting topic of study. B. Fire is a less common method of seed dispersal. C. Wind, water, animals and even fire help scatter plant seeds. D. Some plants, such as dandelions, have seeds that are small and light. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. D 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了植物传播种子的多种方式，包括风力传播、弹射传播、流水传播以及通过动物（粘附皮毛或被食用）和火灾传播，阐述了种子远离母体对植被生长的重要意义。 【36题详解】 第二段指出：“…some seeds will land in areas in which new plants can grow.”；第六段提到：“…the plant grows in new places as the seeds are dispersed.”。直接说明了种子传播的根本目的是为了让新植物在不同地方生长。 【37题详解】 文章通过列举具体的动植物案例来展开论述。第二段提到：“Some plants, such as dandelions…”，第三段提到：“Some plants, such as peas and violets…”，第四段提到：“…such as the coconut tree…”，第五段提到：“Some plants, like the burdock…”，第七段提到：“Squirrels bury seeds…”。作者通过详尽列举这些具体的动植物实例，生动地展示了不同的传播途径。 【38题详解】 第七段指出：“They return to find many, but not all, of the seeds they have stored…these seeds often grow into new plants.”。说明松鼠因为遗忘了部分埋藏的种子，使得这些种子得以萌发长成新树，这种行为在客观上起到了“园丁”播种的作用。 【39题详解】 第六段明确指出：“The animal gets a tasty treat, and the plant grows in new places as the seeds are dispersed.”。描述了动物获得了食物，而植物完成了种子的远距离传播，这种互动对双方都有利（双赢）。故选D。 【40题详解】 第一段第一句指出：“Seed dispersal is an interesting topic of study.”。句中的“interesting”是作者对研究课题的主观感受和评价，而其他选项描述的火灾传播频率、传播媒介种类、种子物理特征等均为客观事实。 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 根据括号中所给的汉语或音标写出单词的正确形式，使句子意思完整正确。 When sports players choose uniforms, they often choose their favourite colors.

When it is possible, choosing red could give a real advantage. After study, British researchers agreed that red helps to win more often. Their research covered ___43___ (几个) different sports, including boxing and football. The data showed a pattern: the player more likely to ___44___ (成功) was often the one wearing a red shirt. However, color is clearly not the only thing to decide the result. Skill, ___45___ (培训，训练), and teamwork can also influence it. So, reaching for the red might be a smart choice, but true victory comes more from skills and hard work. 【答案】41. carefully 42. increase 43. several 44. succeed 45. training 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了运动服颜色对比赛胜负的影响，研究表明红色会提升获胜概率，但同时强调技能、训练与团队协作才是胜利的根本。 【41题详解】 句意：他们往往不会仔细去思考这种颜色所带来的影响。此处修饰动词短语“think about”，需要填入副词，表示“仔细地”的副词是carefully。 【42题详解】 句意：然而，研究表明，穿红色衣服或许会增加获胜的几率。情态动词“might”后接动词原形，音标/ɪnˈkriːs/对应的动词是increase“增加”。 【43题详解】 句意：他们的研究涵盖了几个不同的运动项目，包括拳击和足球。空格后为“different sports”，需要能修饰名词复数的限定词，表示“几个”的单词是several。 【44题详解】 句意：数据显示了一个规律：更有可能成功的选手往往穿着红色上衣。固定搭配be likely to do sth.意为“有可能做某事”，“to”后接动词原形；表示“成功”的动词是succeed，用原形即可。 【45题详解】 句意：然而，颜色显然不是决定结果的唯一因素，技能、训练以及团队合作同样会影响比赛结果。此处和“Skill”、“teamwork”并列，需填名词；表示“培训，训练”的名词是training，不可数，用原形即可。 短文填空，根据句意或括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 Sports might have started as a way to survive.

She asked only one question: “If you must pick one Chinese character to prove that you are not AI, what would it be?” She got 54 answers in all. These answers surprised Ms. Yu. Later, a video about them became popular online, starting a hot talk about what it means to be a real human. Two students gave o___70___ answers: “hurried” and “slow”. “Robots don’t understand why humans are always in a hurry,” one student wrote. “It takes 30 minutes for a hospital to give back test results, but why do patients c___71___ them every few minutes? Humans do not live in purely objective time. Our experience of time is shaped by our feelings.” Another student wrote, “People love to slow down with those they care about, w___72___ AI only cares about speed and right answers.” Some other students chose words like “doubtful” and “limited”. One student wrote, “AI seems to be boundless, but e___73___ about me is limited — the knowledge I’ve gained, the people I meet, my short life and so on. So in some ways, I am e___74___ more valuable than AI.” There were also answers like courage, faith, hate, regret, love and hurt. “What t____75____ moves people is not just a lesson, but the warm humanity that can never be taken away by technology,” Ms. Yu said. 【答案】66. served##erved 67. value##alue 68. offered##ffered 69. recently##ecently 70. opposite##pposite 71. check##heck 72. while##hile 73. everything##everything 74. even##ven 75. truly##ruly 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过讲述深圳中学生在联合国教科文组织论坛上对“人与AI区别”的深度思考，探讨了在人工智能时代人类的真实价值，强调了无法被科技取代的温暖人性。 【66题详解】 句意：他们充当中国青少年的角色。上文提到“…shared their stories…at UNESCO AI Day International Forum…”提示他们是在正式场合代表某一群体。固定搭配“serve as”意为“以……身份起作用/担任”，且文中描述过去发生的事。首字母s及语境提示填served。 【67题详解】 句意：当人工智能（AI）让生活变得比以往任何时候都更轻松时，人类的真正价值是什么？语境探讨在AI普及的背景下人类存在的意义。位于形容词“true”之后作宾语，需用名词。首字母v及语义指向价值，故填value。 【68题详解】 句意：事实上，中国南方深圳的一群高中生提供了他们的答案，并感动了数百万人。后文提到这些答案“touched millions of people”，说明学生们提出了见解。动作发生在过去且与并列动词“touched”形式一致。首字母o对应动词offer的过去式，故填offered。 【69题详解】 句意：深圳南山外国语学校的语文老师余雅璇最近和她的学生们做了一项调查。此处需用副词修饰动词“did”。首字母r及语境提示语义为“最近”，故填recently。 【70题详解】 句意：两名学生给出了相反的答案：“匆忙”和“缓慢”。后文列举的“hurried”和“slow”语义相反，此处需用形容词修饰“answers”。首字母o及语境逻辑提示，故填opposite。 【71题详解】 句意： “医院需要30分钟才能给出检测结果，但为什么病人每隔几分钟就要查看一次呢？”前文提到医院出结果需30分钟，但患者会焦急地反复确认。助动词“do”后接动词原形。首字母c提示，故填check。 【72题详解】 句意：另一名学生写道：“人们喜欢和在乎的人一起慢下来，而人工智能只在乎速度和正确答案。”前句描述人类情感，后句描述AI特性，表示明显的对比关系。需用连词引导状语从句。首字母w提示，故填while。 【73题详解】 句意：一名学生写道：“人工智能似乎是无边无际的，但关于我的一切都是有限的——我获得的知识、我遇到的人、我短暂的生命等等。对应前句“AI seems to be boundless”，引出关于人类自身局限性的观点。此处需用不定代词作从句主语。首字母e提示，故填everything。 【74题详解】 句意：“所以在某些方面，我甚至比人工智能更有价值。”语境强调正是因为人的局限性，使得人具有了AI不具备的独特性。此处修饰比较级“more valuable”。首字母e提示，故填even。 【75题详解】 句意：“真正打动人们的不仅仅是一堂课，而是那种永远不会被技术夺走的温暖的人性，”余老师说。此处需用副词修饰动词“moves”。首字母t及全文对“人性温暖”的肯定，提示语义为“真正地”。故填truly。 六、书面表达（满分15分） 76.

The best way to understand is to imagine that you have two selves: Present Self and Future Self. Researchers have found that the Present Self and the Future Self are seldom in agreement with each other. The Future Self wants to be slim and fit, but the Present Self wants a hamburger. There are different ways to stop procrastinating. You can make the rewards of taking action happen at once. You can bring future rewards into the present moment. For example, only listen to audiobooks you love while exercising or only watch your favourite show while doing tiring housework. Secondly, make the results of procrastination more direct. Make yourself pay the costs of procrastination sooner in many ways. If you exercise by yourself, missing once won’t influence your life much at all. However, if you promise to exercise with a friend, the cost of missing it becomes higher. It means you have to break a promise. Another popular tool is to design your future actions. You can control your future eating habits by buying food in small packages rather than in the large size. You can stop wasting time on your phone by deleting (删除) games or social media apps. Lastly, make the task much easier to finish. One popular way to make habits easier is to use the two-minute rule, which says, “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.” The idea is to make it as easy as possible to get started and then trust that momentum will carry you further into the task after you begin. 29. The writer uses Present Self and Future Self to ________. A. discuss present needs B. explain the cause of procrastination C. compare past and present D. describe two different future actions 30. To prevent procrastination, we can ________. A. promise to exercise with friends B. stop buying food in small packages C. think of new tasks in two minutes D. exercise after doing tiring housework 31. The passage is mainly about the ________. A. results of procrastination B. reasons for procrastination C. ways to stop procrastination D. influences of procrastination C Have you ever wondered what else you can do on the train besides sleeping or scrolling through your phone? Actually, in China, trains have turned into centres which bring together the public and the nation’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH, 非物质文化遗产). Trains go across China and they are becoming ideal places for introducing local traditional culture. A good example is the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. On the ICH train, Gulayier, dressed in traditional clothes, sang Oroqen folk songs (鄂伦春民歌) and his partner played the Oroqen jaw harp, a musical instrument. Tourists on the train, especially those from southern China, sang and danced excitedly with the two performers together. Gulayier said the train made it easier to hold tourists’ attention to his shows. He thought the train was a good platform for promoting (促进) ICH. Traditional heritage comes to life on trains. More ICH such as Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing, Yulin puppet shows, and tea-picking operas in Guangxi have also made appearances on high-speed trains across China. It offers passengers a close-up way to experience traditional culture. Professor Xiao Fang from Beijing Normal University shares Gulayier’s opinion on the new use of ICH trains. He has pointed out another advantage of this. Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism. When passengers enjoy local traditions on board, they often develop a deeper interest in exploring the places they pass through. However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges, including the narrow space on trains and passengers getting on and off at each station. Therefore, some solutions are coming up — cultural corners show traditional arts, and QR codes connect to more digital information. These help passengers to explore ICH at their own pace and continue learning after their journey ends. The success of ICH trains offers valuable lessons for cultural protection worldwide, proving that innovation (革新) and tradition can work together to keep cultural heritage alive for future generations. 32. What is the fresh experience for passengers on the K7041 train? A. Travelling farther north. B. Wearing traditional clothes. C. Joining in live shows. D. Having fun on the phone. 33. What do Gulayier and Professor Xiao both agree on? A. ICH encourages more local visits. B. Trains help make ICH more popular. C. ICH improves the Chinese train journeys. D. Passengers welcome performers on ICH trains. 34. What does Paragraph 5 mention about the ICH train journeys? A. Their features and influence. B. Their reasons and results. C. Their problems and methods. D. Their future and improvement. 35. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Trains push China’s cultural heritage further B. China puts arms around local artists on ICH trains C. More ICH trains begin running on railways in China D. Train passengers share different local cultures of China D Seed (种子) dispersal is an interesting topic of study. It involves the movement, or transport, of seeds away from the parent plant. Plants disperse (传播) seeds in a variety of ways. Wind, water, animals and even fire help scatter (撒播) plant seeds. Some plants, such as dandelions, have seeds that are small and light. One dandelion can produce up to a hundred seeds. As dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind, it is likely that some seeds will land in areas in which new plants can grow. A milkweed pod is filled with hundreds of seeds that can waft (飘荡) in the breeze. Both milkweed and dandelion seeds have been known to travel hundreds of miles on a wind current. Some plants, such as peas and violets, use an explosion (爆破) to send their seeds away. As a pea pod dries, it will eventually burst and send seeds flying in every direction. Violets use explosive dispersal as well. When the seeds are ready, the pod will open with a pop, ejecting seeds with surprising force. Many plants that live near water, such as the coconut tree, have seeds that can float and be carried great distances by the water. If dispersed into an ocean, a coconut can even be transported to another continent. Animals help plants disperse seeds in several ways. Some plants, like the burdock, have barbs that can get caught in the fur of animals passing by. An animal may carry the seed to a new location before the seed gets shaken off its fur. Other plants produce seeds inside fruits, such as apples and berries, that get eaten by animals. The seeds pass through the animal’s body and are dropped in other locations. The animal gets a tasty treat, and the plant grows in new places as the seeds are dispersed. Squirrels bury seeds for later. They return to find many, but not all, of the seeds they have stored. It could be said that a squirrel is nature’s gardener, as these seeds often grow into new plants. This is how many oak trees have been planted, as the acorn is one of a squirrel’s favorite treats. Fire is a less common method of seed dispersal. A forest fire can destroy most plants in an area, creating an open space. Seeds designed to take advantage of this space live in cones held together by resin (树脂). The glue-like resin melts at the temperature of a forest fire, allowing the seeds to be released to begin regrowth of the forest. 36. Why do most plants disperse seeds? A. To keep the ocean clean. B. To help new plants grow. C. To satisfy humans’ daily needs. D. To treat animals in the forest. 37. How does the writer introduce the ways seeds are dispersed? A. By showing the steps in order. B. By explaining cause and effect. C. By providing the examples in detail. D. By comparing and noting the differences. 38. What does “a squirrel is nature’s gardener” probably mean? A. Squirrels are born gardeners in nature. B. Squirrels can help people take care of gardens. C. Squirrels like planting acorns instead of eating them. D. Squirrels help disperse seeds because they forget where to find seeds. 39. Which method of seed dispersal is clearly good for both a plant and an animal? A. A coconut seed floats to another continent. B. Milkweed and dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind. C. A squirrel buries an acorn but does not come back to dig it up. D. An animal eats a fruit and the seeds are taken away to another place. 40. Which of the following sentences from the passage is an opinion? A. Seed dispersal is an interesting topic of study. B. Fire is a less common method of seed dispersal. C. Wind, water, animals and even fire help scatter plant seeds. D. Some plants, such as dandelions, have seeds that are small and light. 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 根据括号中所给的汉语或音标写出单词的正确形式，使句子意思完整正确。 When sports players choose uniforms, they often choose their favourite colors.
