Capital letters (A,B,C),which appeared16 often,were stored in the upper case-the higher drawer that 17 printers to reach up.This practical 18 gave us the terms we still use today. Interestingly,uppercase and lowercase letters don't just look different-they19 different to readers. When you see a text written in ALL CAPS,it often feels like someone is 20 or giving an important waming.For example,if your friend texts you "HELP"21"help",you immediately know something serious is happening.Studies show that uppercase letters seem "louder"and more attention-grabbing.That is why road signs saying "STOP"or "DANGER" use capitals:they must catch your 22 immediately. On the other hand,lowercase letters create feelings of warmth,friendliness and closeness. 英语试卷第2页（共12页) Reading a message in lowercase is like having a 23 conversation with a friend.This is why many modern brands use lowercase in their names and logos to seem approachable and friendly.Think about iPhone,Google,or adidas,they often use lowercase letters in their products to 24 with young people. So the next time you type a message,think carefully:Are you "shouting"with uppercase,or "whispering"with lowercase?Your choice of letters sends a message 25 than the words themselves! 11.A.something B.anything C.nothing D.everything 12.A.discovered B.invented C.created D.found 13.A.Although B.If C.Since D.So 14.A.seldom B.directly C.recently D.often 15.A.reach B.search C.match D.store 16.A.rather B.more C.as D.less 17.A.encouraged B.resulted C.advised D.required 18.A.habit B.success C.advice D.order 19.A.remain B.feel C.appear D.seem 20.A.shouting B.chatting C.talking D.saying 21.A.according to B.instead of C.together with D.except for 22.A.fingers B.eyes C.feet D.ears 23.A.heated B.formal C.relaxed D.serious 24.A.fight B.agree C.connect D.compare 25.A.harder B.faster C.louder D.safer 三、阅读理解（本题共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出 最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Trees are really cool!They can tell us a lot about how the climate is changing. Some trees can live for a very long time,like hundreds or even thousands of years.They just stand there and see all the changes in the weather on Earth When you look at a tree stump ()you may find that the top of the stump has many rings.These rings are like a tree's storybook.Each ring shows one year of the tree's life.They can tell us how old the tree is and what the weather was like in that year. In most areas,detailed daily weather records have only been kept for the past 100 to 150 years.But trees can help scientists learn about the climate from hundreds or thousands of years ago.That's why trees are so important! 英语试卷第3页（共12页） First year growth. The light-colored rings are wood that grew in the spring and early summer,while the dark rings are wood that grew in the late summer and fall.One light ring and one dark ring make one year of the tree's life.

B When I was young,my father took me outside to see the stars.Once we saw a comet () It was the first comet I'd seen but wasn't the last. My name is Caroline Herschel.I was born in Hanover,Germany in 1750.When I was 22,I moved to England to stay with my older brother,William.He was a musician and he offered me singing lessons.I helped him with housework in return.I practised hard and soon started singing at his concerts. 英语试卷第4页（共12页） Life changed when William became interested in astronomy.He read about space late into the night.Breakfast often tumed into a lesson about stars. I leamed a lot from him.And we even started working together on a big project: building telescopes-the special tools for seeing faraway things. To make the perfect mirrors for our telescopes,we heated metals and shaped them using special molds ()These molds were made from strange things,like dry horse waste.I had to break it into small bits.It was dirty work,but I didn't mind.Someone had to do it. Making the mirrors smooth was very difficult.William invented a machine to help,but he still had to work without stopping for hours once he began.He couldn't even stop to eat,so I fed him and read stories to keep him happy and relaxed. In 1781,William discovered something fantastic-a new planet!King George was so glad that he made William his astronomer.William made a telescope just for me.And I was able to search the sky along with him. On August 1,1786,I found something special too-a comet!I watched it carefully for one more night and discovered it was real.Now everyone is talking about my comet.They call it the Lady's Comet. This is the first comet I've ever discovered,but I don't think it will be the last. Historical Note:After Caroline discovered her first comet,King George paid her to be William's assistant ()She was one of the first women astronomers to be paid for her work. She went on to find seven more comets herself between 1786 and 1797. 29.The author opens the passage with a childhood memory mainly to A.show her deep love for her father and his lasting influence B.get the readers interested and introduce her lifelong love for astronomy C.explain how family support helped her become a professional astronomer D.prove that early watching of stars is the key to discovering comets later in life 30.In what order did the following happen in Caroline's life? a.She discovered her first comet. b.Her brother built a telescope for her. c.Her brother became interested in space. d.She built telescopes together with her brother. e.She got paid by King George to help with her brother's work.

D.Nine. 32.Which of the following best describes Caroline and William's working relationship? A.William took care of most of the work. B.Caroline gave William more help. C.They were important to each other's success. D.Caroline had to do all the dirty work. 英语试卷第5页（共12页) C A hundred years ago,it was difficult for people to communicate over long distances. Messages to far-off places were carried on horseback.Then Samuel Morse invented the electric telegraph and the Morse code(密码)， Morse code is a series of dots and dashes.The dashes are about three times longer than the dots.Here is the code for the letters of the alphabet(字母表)， A●- H●●●● 0--- V●●●- B-O●● I●● P●--● W●-- C-●-● J●--- Q--●- X-●●- D-●● K-●- R●-● Y-●-- E● L●-●● S●●● Z--●● F●●-● M-- T- G N-O U●●- The Morse code also includes codes for numbers and punctuation signs(标点符号).Like texting,it also has groups of letters that stand for phrases.For example,the letters CUL stand for “see you later''.And the famous SOS signal stands for“save our souls'”. The electric telegraph could send messages using electricity.The worker at one end used a machine to tap()out a special code for each letter of the alphabet.The system changed the tapping into electrical movements and sent them to another place.Then they were changed back into the code at the place.The code was printed on a paper tape which was set on another machine.The worker on the receiving end used the code to change the message back into words. Later,workers learned to translate the code just by listening. Messages can be sent by Morse code using light too.A flashing light can send the same dots and dashes and they can be translated by someone watching. Today Morse code is used mostly by radio operators.Some navigation beacons(导航信标) like lighthouses still identify themselves using Morse code.Pilots flying planes by instrument (use these beacons to determine their plane's location.But perhaps the most exciting use of Morse code is helping people with disabilities communicate.There have been cases in which people have learned to communicate using their eyelids to blink messages using Morse code.Or they have used a finger to tap out messages. 英语试卷第6页（共12页) 33.Why did Samuel Morse invent the Morse code? A.Because there might not be enough horses to carry messages. B.Because communication wasn't easy for people who lived far away. C.Because modern electronic products were not invented at that time. D.Because it was not easy for people to use the electric telegraph. 34.What does the code“●-●●/●●-/-●-●/-●-”stand for? A.LUCK B.LOVE. C.LIKE. D.LOSE. 35.Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the article? A.The dots are three times longer than the dashes. B.Morse code also includes codes for phrases. C.Messages can be sent by Morse code using electricity or heat D.Before the code was printed,the message was changed back into words. 36.Now people use Morse code in many ways EXCEPT A.sending secret messages using light B.identifying lighthouses on the sea C.helping the pilots locate place D.helping the disabled listen to the radio D It was going to be a long afternoon.Aunt Jen and Uncle Pete were visiting,which meant I had to play with Amy. I was mixing salt with mud in the garden.Amy was dancing around like a butterfly.Maybe she could help prepare food for the butterflies. “Okay,Amy,”Isaid.“You can help spread this salt on the mud.” She took the salt shaker."Are you growing butterflies like plants,Simon?" "Questions again!"I shook my head.This little girl had a lot to learn-just like me at her age,when my family started planting this butterfly garden."Some butterflies need salt to stay healthy,"I explained."Once,a butterfly sat right here on my arm,tasting my salty sweat." "I want a butterfly to sit on me!"cried Amy."I want to wear it like a flower!" "Butterflies don't grow like flowers,"I said."They fly wherever they like." “Aww.make them come to me,”Amy said. "They will.They love our garden's plants,with nice leaves and juice,and this..."I said, pointing to the salty mud. "I don't like mud,"Amy said."See,my new pink shoes are muddy-and pink's my favorite color!" I tried to distract her attention."Do you know butterflies have favorite colors,too?" “pink?”Amy asked,starting to smile again. 英语试卷第7页（共12页） "They like purple better,and orange,"I explained,pointing to the nearby butterfly weed with dark orange flowers."Look,a butterfly is drinking the juice of the flowers." I kept talking so she wouldn't try to catch it."Butterfly weed is a perfect host plant.Butterflies lay eggs here,which become caterpillars, then chrysalises,and finally beautiful butterflies..." As I spoke,Amy saw a big bee."Shoo!No bees allowed!"she cried. "Hey,it's okay.Butterflies and bees both work for flowers,"I told her. “Butterflies work?”she asked. "Yes,listen..." We stayed in the garden until sunset.Then I smelt bread and suggested,"Let's rest in the hammock.” As we lay together,Amy noticed a butterfly leaving a flower and cried, “Simon,it's like a flying flower!” That made me smile.We swung gently back and forth,happy just to watch all the flowers-the ones that fly and those that don't-until Mom called us in to dinner. 37.Why did Simon mix the salt with the mud? A.To prepare food for butterflies. B.To play games with Amy. C.To make the plants grow better. D.To make it safer for Amy to dance. 38.How did Simon feel when Amy asked her first question? A.He couldn't believe how silly Amy was. B.He was surprised at Amy's rich imagination. C.He was a bit impatient but also very understanding. D.He was glad that Amy was curious about butterflies 39.What does the underlined phrase"distract her attention"mean in the story? A.Clean the mud off her shoes. B.Change her mind about mud. C.Keep her away from the mud. D.Get her to forget about the mud. 40.What could be the best title for the passage? A.A Beautiful Butterfly Garden. B.Simon's Lesson on Butterflies. C.How to Take Good Care of Butterflies. D.Simon and Amy's Afternoon Adventure. 英语试卷第8页（共12页) 第二节请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处 的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Do you know Mo's Chicken Pot?It is a small restaurant in a village in Guangdong.The owner,Uncle Mo,has run it for six years.In the past,this restaurant had about ten tables of customers each day.Life was slow and peaceful. 41 One day,a famous blogger visited the shop and took the video about his restaurant.In the video,Uncle Mo looked worried and said,"If you make my business too good, I can't handle it!"This simple sentence became a huge hit.The video got over 150 million views on Douyin.42 Soon,things went crazy.People waited in line at 6 a.m.Some drove 2,000 kilometers and even slept in their cars just to try the chicken pot.43 Daily customers jumped from 10 to 200.Uncle Mo became exhausted.But here's the strangest part-The more he tried to refuse customers,the more people came.

The film follows Hou Xiting,the troupe leader,as he faces silly orders from a warlord() The warlord forces them to rewrite the classic play Farewell My Concubine(霸王别s姬).With humour and warmth,the film looks at ideas like cultural traditions,care in their art,and the courage of ordinary people in hard times. What I noticed most was the difference between laughter and sadness.The warlord's orders -like changing the play's ending to let the hero live-created funny moments.But this really showed how artists could do little when controlled by others.Chen Peisi's acting as Hou Xiting was unforgettable.His strong wish to protect his troupe while keeping the true spirit of Peking Opera made me feel both sad and respectful. The film also nicely shows how important traditions are.Even with continuous threats,the troupe members never give up their work.Their hard work and love for what they do reminded me how valuable our cultural traditions are.The final scene,where they perform the original play in the middle of gunfire,stands for the unbreakable spirit of art.This film isn't just a story -it's a heartfelt call,reminding us to care for and protect our heritage. In a world where traditions are often forgotten,The Stage is a strong reminder that they are our base.It teaches us that even in darkest times,art's light can guide us.I'd really recommend this film to anyone who loves stories with that mix humour,history,and deep meaning. 英语试卷·第11页（共12页） 66.What kind of film is The Stage? 67.What did Hou Xiting think of the warlord's orders 68.What is the purpose of the film? 69.What does the underlined word"they"in Paragraph 4 refer to? 70.Will you recommend this film to others?Why? 七、书面表达（本题满分25分） 诚信，是中华民族传承干年的传统美德，是为人处世最珍贵的通行证。学校“英语园 地”栏目正在开展以“Honesty”为主题的征文活动，请你根据以下英文提示，写一篇英语 短文，参加活动。 1.Explain the meaning of honesty. 2.Share one experience of honesty in your life. 3.How has this story influenced you?Write down your thoughts. 要求： 1.词数90左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数： 2.请勿提及真实的校名和姓名。 Honesty Honesty is one of the most important qualities in life 英语试卷第12页（共12页）
