Here, three young readers share the books that stayed with them long after the last page was turned. Each offers a glimpse into a different world. Take a look — you might just discover your next great read. ● Fablehaven by Brandon Mull It is about twins who spend the summer at their grandfather’s nature reserve. Something about it feels a little strange — like there’s more going on than meets the eye. They don’t understand any of the strange rules their grandfather gives them. Little do they know that this is a place for magical creatures. Soon they will learn that the rules are there for a reason. But only once they’re broken... Beatrice C., age 16 ● Five Go Off to Camp by Enid Blyton Four children set off on a camping trip. As they explore the wild countryside, they come across an old, forgotten railway yard. There, a mysterious man called Wooden Leg Sam warns them to stay away. But curiosity gets the better of the young adventurers, and they decide to explore anyway — only to find themselves trapped in a tunnel, where something incredible awaits them. Matilda W., age 17 ● Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls Billy has been longing for a pair of red hounds (猎犬) — a desire his family cannot afford. So, he spends two years taking on any work he can find. The story follows his journey: earning enough, getting his dogs, training them with care, and finally winning a hunting competition. The book tells the unbreakable bond between a boy and his two best friends. However, have a tissue box nearby for the ending. Lucie D., age 17 Do you have a favorite book? Email your review to cricket@cricketmagkids.com. 1. What do the first two book reviews have in common? A. Both are about summer vacations. B. Both take place in nature reserves. C. Both are recommended by 17-year-olds. D. Both involve ignoring warnings and exploring. 2. What might we infer about the ending of the third book? A. It is very funny. B. It is boring. C. It is full of actions. D. It is heart-breaking. 3. Where is this passage most likely taken from? A. A teenage magazine. B. A travel website. C. An adventure novel. D. A history textbook. 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了三位青少年读者分享的三本令自己印象深刻的书籍的主要情节与特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一本书籍介绍段“They don’t understand any of the strange rules their grandfather gives them. Little do they know that this is a place for magical creatures. Soon they will learn that the rules are there for a reason. But only once they’re broken... (他们不理解祖父给他们的任何奇怪规则。他们一点也不知道这是一个神奇生物的地方。很快他们就会知道这些规则是有原因的。但只有当它们被打破时……)”第二本书籍介绍段“There, a mysterious man called Wooden Leg Sam warns them to stay away. But curiosity gets the better of the young adventurers, and they decide to explore anyway — only to find themselves trapped in a tunnel, where something incredible awaits them.(在那里，一个名叫“木腿山姆”的神秘男子警告他们不要靠近。但年轻探险家们的好奇心占了上风，他们还是决定进去探索——结果却发现自己被困在了一条隧道里，而那里正有着令人难以置信的景象在等待着他们。)”可知，两本书的共同之处是主角都无视警告并主动探索未知事物。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三本书籍介绍段“However, have a tissue box nearby for the ending.(不过，阅读结局时请准备好纸巾。)”可推知，这本书的结局令人伤感、催人落泪。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。全文面向青少年群体，由少年读者分享书评，文末留有投稿邮箱cricket@cricketmagkids.com，内容贴近青少年阅读生活。由此可判断本文最有可能选自青少年杂志。 B When he was just six years old, Hurum turned his bedroom into a small museum. His shelves became filled with a growing collection of fossils (化石). For Hurum, they were not just rocks, but things that could tell the history of life on this planet. He imagined them saying, “I am not a rock. I am a fossil. I have a story to tell.” Hurum earned a PhD in paleontology (古生物学) in his native Norway. Since then, he has been seeking fossils all over the world. Much of his work has been carried out in Svalbard, a group of Norwegian islands north of the Arctic Circle. The “dig season” in the area is very short — from July to August. During that time, the temperature is just about warm enough to soften the frozen ground. There is also less wind, and the “midnight sun” makes it easy for the scientists to have long and productive days. In the hills of this cold and distant area, Hurum and his team have found the fossils of many sea creatures, which might seem surprising. Even a dream job has its challenges, however. The team may find many broken bone pieces spread across a hillside. But it becomes impossible to recreate the entire animal. Also, each expedition (远征) requires a lot of preparation. “We have between 15 and 20 people, tons of equipment — food, jackhammers, water,” he explains. “There’s a lot of work before you start the cool thing.” The “cool thing”, for Hurum, is the act of discovery. In 2006, his team made its greatest discovery so far. After removing about 60 tons of rock by hand, Hurum and his team eventually dug out a huge fossil. “We knew immediately this was something special,” says Hurum. It was a plesiosaur — a prehistoric sea monster with teeth the size of cucumbers. For Hurum, the discovery of this 15-meter-long creature was an amazing moment. “It’s like one of those scratch-off lottery (彩票) tickets every time you dig,” he explains. “Sometimes, you start digging and you might just find part of a skull. Sometimes, you find a complete skull and backbone together. Then you know it’s a jackpot — far more than you can expect!” 4. What do we know about Hurum’s work? A. His team works in Svalbard all year round. B. His work requires careful preparation and planning. C. His work focuses on the discovery of ancient land animals. D. The “midnight sun” provides scientists with warmer weather to work in. 5. Which of the following can best describe Hurum? A. Patient and responsible. B. Intelligent and generous. C. Curious and determined. D. Humorous and optimistic. 6. What does the underlined word “jackpot” in the last paragraph mean? A. A big prize. B. A lucky escape. C. A huge creature. D. A hard job. 7. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Gold will shine wherever it is. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s devotion, there’s a destination. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述古生物学家 Hurum自幼热爱化石，常年在极地艰苦科考，克服诸多困难，坚持探索，最终收获重大史前生物化石发现，诠释了热爱与坚守的价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Also, each expedition (远征) requires a lot of preparation.(此外，每次远征都需要进行大量的准备工作)”可知，胡鲁姆的工作需要精心的准备和规划。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For Hurum, they were not just rocks, but things that could tell the history of life on this planet. He imagined them saying, “I am not a rock. I am a fossil. I have a story to tell.”(对胡鲁姆来说，这些并非只是普通的石头，而是能够讲述这个星球上生命历程的物件。他想象着它们会说：“我不是一块石头。我是化石。我有故事要讲。”)”以及第二段“Since then, he has been seeking fossils all over the world. Much of his work has been carried out in Svalbard, a group of Norwegian islands north of the Arctic Circle. The “dig season” in the area is very short — from July to August. During that time, the temperature is just about warm enough to soften the frozen ground.(从那以后，他一直在世界各地寻找化石。他的大部分工作都在斯瓦尔巴群岛进行，该群岛是位于北极圈以北的一组挪威岛屿。该地区的“挖掘季”非常短暂——从七月持续到八月。在这段时间里，气温刚好足以使冻结的地面变软)”可知，胡鲁姆好奇且坚定。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It’s like one of those scratch-off lottery (彩票) tickets every time you dig(每次挖掘的时候，这就像是一张那种刮奖式的彩票)”可知，前文用刮刮乐彩票作比喻，挖到完整骨骼是意外大收获，故划线词意思是“一大笔奖金”。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“For Hurum, the discovery of this 15-meter-long creature was an amazing moment. “It’s like one of those scratch-off lottery (彩票) tickets every time you dig,” he explains. “Sometimes, you start digging and you might just find part of a skull. Sometimes, you find a complete skull and backbone together. Then you know it’s a jackpot — far more than you can expect!”(对于胡鲁姆来说，发现这个15米长的生物是一个令人惊叹的时刻。“每次挖掘的时候，这就像是一张那种刮奖式的彩票，”他解释道，“有时，你开始挖掘，可能会只找到一块头骨的碎片。有时，你会同时发现完整的头骨和脊椎骨。然后你就知道这是一笔巨大的收获——远远超出了你的预期！”)”结合本文讲述古生物学家Hurum自幼热爱化石，常年在极地艰苦科考，克服诸多困难，坚持探索，最终收获重大史前生物化石发现，诠释了热爱与坚守的价值。可知，文章想表达的是有执着追求的地方，就一定有最终的目标。 C Curiosity is a familiar feeling among people. Is curiosity a positive feeling or a negative feeling? Is it a painful reminder of what we don’t (yet) know, or an exciting signal to what we might soon discover? In fact, curiosity can be all of these things, and more. It has positive and negative faces: one points towards what we want, and one points towards what we have not yet got and may never get. Once we recognize that curiosity has two faces, we can consider what can affect the nature of our experience in a given case. A paper published in the journal Cognition and Emotion does just this for the dimension (维度) of time. The researchers ask: Is the experience of curiosity more likely to be positive when we expect that our curiosity will be satisfied sooner rather than later? To answer this question, the researchers carried out three studies with a total of over 200 participants from a university or online. In each study, the researchers induced (诱导) a state of curiosity by telling participants that they would later watch a video about “something with different shades of brown”. Participants were invited to guess what it might be, but they were not told. Half the participants were told they would watch the video after a short delay (延迟) of only one minute, and half were told that there would first be a 30-minute delay during which they would finish other interesting tasks. At the start of the delays, everyone expressed how curious they felt about the content of the video, as well as how much they felt negative feelings, such as discomfort, against positive feelings, such as happiness. The key finding was that while both groups reported equal levels of curiosity, the curiosity was accompanied by more negative feelings for those participants facing a long delay. The researchers argue that the finding sheds light on the two faces of curiosity. When our curiosity will not be satisfied anytime soon, we focus on not knowing, which is annoying. But when our curiosity is on the verge (边缘) of being satisfied, we focus on almost knowing, which is a more positive experience. 8. What is the function of the questions in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To show the author’s attitude. C. To present supporting evidence. D. To provide background information. 9. What did the research focus on? A. The two sides of curiosity. B. Delay’s effect on task performance. C. Curiosity differences between people. D. Factors affecting the experience of curiosity. 10. Why did the researchers divide participants into two groups? A. To collect more research data. B. To test different levels of curiosity. C. To compare effects of different delays. D. To discover different types of curiosity. 11. What did the study find about curiosity? A. The more we focus on not knowing, the more curious we become. B. Longer waiting time makes people less curious about the unknown. C. The experience of curiosity depends on how soon it will be satisfied. D. Curiosity itself determines whether the experience is positive or negative. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了好奇心有正反两面。研究通过长短等待对照实验发现，好奇心本身强度相近，能否快速解惑，决定其带来的感受是积极愉悦还是烦躁消极。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Curiosity is a familiar feeling among people. Is curiosity a positive feeling or a negative feeling? Is it a painful reminder of what we don’t (yet) know, or an exciting signal to what we might soon discover? In fact, curiosity can be all of these things, and more. It has positive and negative faces: one points towards what we want, and one points towards what we have not yet got and may never get.(好奇心在人们当中是一种常见的感受。那么，好奇心到底是积极的情感还是消极的情感呢？它是对我们尚未知晓之事的痛苦提醒，还是对我们即将发现之事的令人兴奋的信号？实际上，好奇心可以是上述所有这些，甚至更多。它既有积极的一面，也有消极的一面：一面指向我们所渴望的事物，另一面指向我们尚未拥有且可能永远无法得到的东西)”可知，第一段中的这些问题用于引入主题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once we recognize that curiosity has two faces, we can consider what can affect the nature of our experience in a given case.(一旦我们认识到好奇心具有两面性，我们就可以思考在特定情况下哪些因素会影响我们的体验性质)”可知，这项研究的重点是影响好奇心体验的因素。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Half the participants were told they would watch the video after a short delay (延迟) of only one minute, and half were told that there would first be a 30-minute delay during which they would finish other interesting tasks. At the start of the delays, everyone expressed how curious they felt about the content of the video, as well as how much they felt negative feelings, such as discomfort, against positive feelings, such as happiness.(一半的参与者被告知他们只需等待短短一分钟就会观看视频，而另一半参与者则被告知在等待期间（即先会有30分钟的延迟）他们需要完成一些有趣的任务。在延迟开始时，每个人都会表达自己对视频内容的浓厚兴趣，以及对负面情绪（如不适）的强烈感受，同时也会表达以及自身感受到的正面情绪（如快乐）的程度)”可知，研究人员将参与者分成两组是为了比较不同延迟所产生的效果。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When our curiosity will not be satisfied anytime soon, we focus on not knowing, which is annoying. But when our curiosity is on the verge (边缘) of being satisfied, we focus on almost knowing, which is a more positive experience.(当我们的好奇心短期内无法得到满足时，我们就会专注于“不知道”的状态，这令人感到烦恼。但当我们的好奇心即将得到满足时，我们就会专注于“几乎知道”的状态，这则是一种更为积极的体验)”可知，这项研究发现好奇心的体验取决于它何时能得到满足。 D Humans cannot possibly survive without a handful of things. Water, undoubtedly, is one of the most important. Regarding our total dependence on water for survival, have you ever wondered if other creatures also depend on water so much? Let’s narrow down the kind of “creatures” to fish. This may sound a bit strange, but do fish feel thirsty too? This question is interesting because it is about “thirst”. Humans show this in different degrees (it can be just a little or I-can-wolf-the-whole-bowl-down). Thirst is an altogether different thing when we’re talking about creatures that live in water for most of their lives. Think of it this way: how would you ever feel hungry if you lived inside a pizza? Similarly, how can fish feel a strong need to drink water when they are practically surrounded by water all the time? However, it’s not as simple as that. Both freshwater and seawater fish show different behaviors when it comes to actively drinking water. Freshwater fish have blood with a higher concentration (浓度) of salt than the water they are surrounded by. Therefore, they run a high risk of having their blood diluted (稀释) if they drink water. This is why they don’t actively drink water to keep the balance of salt and water inside their bodies. Since the salt concentration in the blood of seawater fish is lower than the water they are surrounded by, they are often threatened by dehydration (脱水), so they actively drink water. Thanks to the impressive design of their gills (鳃), they can drink saltwater, process it and then remove the extra salt from their bodies. Actually, thirst, in fish, is more of a simple response that happens without requiring a thoughtful decision on their part (unlike humans); it just happens. Fish don’t necessarily have to feel thirsty in order to drink water. They don’t have that need to drink water after a hard round of exercise, or after walking across town on a hot, sunny day. One less thing to worry about! 12. What does the underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refer to? A. The feeling of thirst. B. The question about fish. C. The need to live inside water. D. The ability to drink a whole bowl of water. 13. What can be inferred about fish’s behaviors? A. Seawater fish drink water to increase the salt level in their blood. B. Seawater fish drink water to avoid losing water from their bodies. C. Freshwater fish don’t drink water because they are threatened by losing water. D. Freshwater fish don’t drink water because they take in enough water through their skin. 14. Which of the following can best describe thirst in fish? A. A mental need. B. An unusual feeling. C. A natural reaction. D. A thoughtful choice. 15. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Why Is Water Important? B. Do Fish Get Thirsty? C. How Are Fish Different? D. How Do Fish Process Saltwater? 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕鱼是否会口渴展开，对比淡水鱼与海水鱼因体液盐分浓度差异，饮水行为截然不同，说明鱼类饮水是本能生理反应，和人类主动口渴不同。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“This question is interesting because it is about “thirst”. Humans show this in different degrees (it can be just a little or I-can-wolf-the-whole-bowl-down).(这个问题很有趣，因为它涉及到“口渴”这一话题。人类在不同程度上会表现出口渴的症状（有的只是轻微口渴，有的则会一口气把整碗水喝光）)”可知，此处指人类表现出口渴的感觉，故this指的是“口渴的感觉”。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Since the salt concentration in the blood of seawater fish is lower than the water they are surrounded by, they are often threatened by dehydration (脱水), so they actively drink water. Thanks to the impressive design of their gills (鳃), they can drink saltwater, process it and then remove the extra salt from their bodies.(由于海水鱼血液中的盐分浓度低于它们所处的海水浓度，它们往往会面临脱水的威胁，因此它们会主动饮水。得益于它们鳃部的出色设计，它们能够饮用海水，对其进行处理，然后将体内的多余盐分排出体外)”可知，海水鱼类喝水是为了防止体内水分流失。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Actually, thirst, in fish, is more of a simple response that happens without requiring a thoughtful decision on their part (unlike humans); it just happens.(实际上，对于鱼类来说，口渴这种生理反应更像是一种简单的本能反应，它不会像人类那样需要它们自己进行深思熟虑的判断；它只是自然而然地就会发生)”可知，鱼类的口渴现象是一种自然反应。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Humans cannot possibly survive without a handful of things. Water, undoubtedly, is one of the most important. Regarding our total dependence on water for survival, have you ever wondered if other creatures also depend on water so much? Let’s narrow down the kind of “creatures” to fish. This may sound a bit strange, but do fish feel thirsty too?(人类若缺少一些基本条件就无法生存。水无疑是最为重要的因素之一。关于人类对水的完全依赖以维持生命这一点，你是否曾思考过其他生物是否也如此依赖水呢？让我们把“生物”的种类限定为鱼类。这听起来可能有点奇怪，但鱼也会感到口渴吗？)”结合本文围绕鱼是否会口渴展开，对比淡水鱼与海水鱼因体液盐分浓度差异，饮水行为截然不同，说明鱼类饮水是本能生理反应，和人类主动口渴不同。可知，B选项“鱼会口渴吗？”最符合文章标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The secret to happiness lies in being grateful.

Therefore因此；B. However然而；C. Instead反而；D. Furthermore此外。前文讲到煤炭十分珍贵，后文表示无法获取，前后为转折关系用However。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而几天后，我看到了一件令人惊喜的事。A. annoying恼人的；B. puzzling令人困惑的；C. satisfying令人满意的；D. amazing令人惊喜的、不可思议的。下文“The men ____ our house, talked with my dad, and dumped the coal in our yard.”铁路工作人员主动送来煤炭，是一件暖心惊喜的事，因此选D。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：那是一辆小型运煤车，装载着我们无法获取的煤炭。A. right权利；B. entrance入口；C. access途径、使用权；D. solution解决办法。根据上文“It was a tiny coal car that had picked up the coal”指作者家无法获取煤炭，have no access to为固定搭配，意为“无法获得、无法接近”。 【30题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：这些工作人员顺路来到我家，和父亲交谈后，把煤炭卸在了我们的院子里。A. stopped by顺路拜访、停靠；B. broke into闯入；C. passed by路过；D. turned to求助。根据后文“our house, talked with my dad, and dumped the coal in our yard”可知，工作人员特意来到作者家中，顺路停留拜访。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：他们本不必帮助我们。A. guide引导；B. improve提升；C. impact影响；D. help帮助。根据上文“dumped the coal in our yard”以及后文他们本可以随意倾倒煤炭，可知帮助作者一家并不是他们的义务。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：他们本可以把它随便丢弃在任何地方，但他们却看到了我们的需求，他们的善举温暖了我们的家，也温暖了我们的心。A. protected保护；B. decorated装饰；C. warmed温暖；D. influenced影响。结合前文冬天取暖需要煤炭以及“and our hearts”可知，善意温暖身心。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：如今我用上了电暖，但我依旧记得铁路工人在我家困难时伸出援手的那一天。A. remember记得；B. recognize认出；C. prefer偏爱；D. honor尊敬。根据后文“the day when the railroad men helped us out in time of need”作者一直铭记这段温暖的往事。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：他们再次提醒我人生存在的意义——彼此相爱、互相帮助、待人友善。A. warned警告；B. reminded提醒；C. informed告知；D. assured确保。根据后文“me again of why we are here”可知，这件往事时刻提醒作者心怀善意、互帮互助。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：我们存在于世，是为了让世界变得更好，在他人陷入困境时伸出援手。A. hunger饥饿；B. danger危险；C. disaster灾难；D. trouble困境、麻烦。根据上文“to love each other, help each other, and be kind to each other”可知，指在他人陷入困境时伸出援手，out of trouble为固定搭配，意为“摆脱困境”。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 It is hard to imagine Chiikawa as medicine, but many young people are turning to it as “digital ibuprofen (布洛芬),” a way ___36___ (relieve) stress.

Patrick guided the camper (露营车) out of their quiet village while Evelyne sat beside him, one hand resting on the small carrier (宠物箱) in her lap, the other holding her phone. Through the window, she filmed the vineyards rolling by like green rivers. “Say hi to everyone,” asked Evelyne, turning the camera toward Patrick. Then she turned the phone toward the carrier. Inside, Filou — a tiny ball of black and white fur with curious green eyes — meowed (喵喵叫) softly at every passing bird. She posted the video later that morning, adding a few simple words: “Road trip: ON.” Within minutes, comments began to appear. Her followers — over three thousand of them — loved these small glimpses into her life. Among the likes and emojis, one comment caught her attention: “Cats are born curious explorers!” Evelyne smiled and slipped her phone back into her pocket, never knowing what would happen next. Filou was barely a year old, full of energy and curiosity. He pressed his nose against the glass of the car window, eager to explore the world outside. Each time a tree cast its shadow across the window, he would tilt (倾斜) his head. Each time a bird flew over the sky, he would fix his eyes on it. “He never misses a thing,” Patrick said, glancing at the rearview mirror. After hours of driving, they stopped at a rest area. Stepping out of the camper, they smelt the aroma (香气) of coffee. “Let’s grab a coffee, shall we?” Patrick suggested. Evelyne nodded. “See you in a minute,” she kissed Filou goodbye on the head and ran to her husband, leaving the passenger window open a crack to let in fresh air. They walked into the small cafe and enjoyed the peaceful afternoon. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When they returned to the camper, the carrier was empty. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, she received a comment below her post. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When they returned to the camper, the carrier was empty. Evelyne’s heart sank instantly, and she called Filou’s name frantically. Patrick checked around the camper, while she ran along the rest area, her eyes scanning every corner. They asked the cafe staff for help, but no one had seen the tiny cat. Evelyne felt tears welling up, blaming herself for leaving the window open. They searched until dusk, calling Filou’s name, but there was no response. Heartbroken, they had to stay at the rest area for the night, hoping he would come back. The next morning, she received a comment below her post. It read: “I saw a black and white cat near the rest area yesterday! He followed me to my farm, and he’s safe now.” Evelyne’s hands shook as she replied, asking for the farm’s address. They rushed there immediately, and when they called Filou’s name, the tiny cat ran toward them, meowing happily. Tears of joy streamed down Evelyne’s face as she held him tightly. She later posted a photo of Filou, thanking her follower, and realized that kindness and connection could turn a disaster into a blessing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Patrick和Evelyne带着猫咪Filou的公路旅行为线索展开，讲述了两人带着猫咪Filou开启公路旅行，Evelyne发布旅行视频后收获众多关注；在休息区喝咖啡时，因忘记关严车窗，Filou趁机跑掉，两人焦急寻找却无果；第二天，Evelyne通过旅行视频的评论，得知Filou被一位粉丝发现并收留，最终成功找回猫咪的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“当他们回到露营车时，宠物箱是空的”可知，第一段可描写Evelyne和Patrick发现Filou失踪后的焦急反应，Evelyne的自责与伤心，以及两人搜寻的过程，和紧张担忧的心情。 ② 由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，她收到了帖子下方的一条评论”可知，第二段可描写评论的具体内容：发现Filou并收留。Evelyne和Patrick的急切与激动，找回Filou的场景，以及两人找回猫咪后的喜悦心情。 2. 续写线索：发现Filou失踪——焦急寻找（呼喊、询问、搜寻角落）——搜寻无果、伤心过夜——收到粉丝评论、得知Filou下落——找回Filou——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①. 呼喊：call/shout ②. 寻找：search/look for ③. 回复：reply/respond 情绪类 ①. 焦急地：frantically/anxiously ②. 伤心的：heartbroken/sad 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Here, three young readers share the books that stayed with them long after the last page was turned. Each offers a glimpse into a different world. Take a look — you might just discover your next great read. ● Fablehaven by Brandon Mull It is about twins who spend the summer at their grandfather’s nature reserve. Something about it feels a little strange — like there’s more going on than meets the eye. They don’t understand any of the strange rules their grandfather gives them. Little do they know that this is a place for magical creatures. Soon they will learn that the rules are there for a reason. But only once they’re broken... Beatrice C., age 16 ● Five Go Off to Camp by Enid Blyton Four children set off on a camping trip. As they explore the wild countryside, they come across an old, forgotten railway yard. There, a mysterious man called Wooden Leg Sam warns them to stay away. But curiosity gets the better of the young adventurers, and they decide to explore anyway — only to find themselves trapped in a tunnel, where something incredible awaits them. Matilda W., age 17 ● Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls Billy has been longing for a pair of red hounds (猎犬) — a desire his family cannot afford.

B When he was just six years old, Hurum turned his bedroom into a small museum. His shelves became filled with a growing collection of fossils (化石). For Hurum, they were not just rocks, but things that could tell the history of life on this planet. He imagined them saying, “I am not a rock. I am a fossil. I have a story to tell.” Hurum earned a PhD in paleontology (古生物学) in his native Norway. Since then, he has been seeking fossils all over the world. Much of his work has been carried out in Svalbard, a group of Norwegian islands north of the Arctic Circle. The “dig season” in the area is very short — from July to August. During that time, the temperature is just about warm enough to soften the frozen ground. There is also less wind, and the “midnight sun” makes it easy for the scientists to have long and productive days. In the hills of this cold and distant area, Hurum and his team have found the fossils of many sea creatures, which might seem surprising. Even a dream job has its challenges, however. The team may find many broken bone pieces spread across a hillside. But it becomes impossible to recreate the entire animal. Also, each expedition (远征) requires a lot of preparation. “We have between 15 and 20 people, tons of equipment — food, jackhammers, water,” he explains. “There’s a lot of work before you start the cool thing.” The “cool thing”, for Hurum, is the act of discovery. In 2006, his team made its greatest discovery so far. After removing about 60 tons of rock by hand, Hurum and his team eventually dug out a huge fossil. “We knew immediately this was something special,” says Hurum. It was a plesiosaur — a prehistoric sea monster with teeth the size of cucumbers. For Hurum, the discovery of this 15-meter-long creature was an amazing moment. “It’s like one of those scratch-off lottery (彩票) tickets every time you dig,” he explains. “Sometimes, you start digging and you might just find part of a skull. Sometimes, you find a complete skull and backbone together. Then you know it’s a jackpot — far more than you can expect!” 4. What do we know about Hurum’s work? A. His team works in Svalbard all year round. B. His work requires careful preparation and planning. C. His work focuses on the discovery of ancient land animals. D. The “midnight sun” provides scientists with warmer weather to work in. 5. Which of the following can best describe Hurum? A. Patient and responsible. B. Intelligent and generous. C. Curious and determined. D. Humorous and optimistic. 6. What does the underlined word “jackpot” in the last paragraph mean? A. A big prize. B. A lucky escape. C. A huge creature. D. A hard job. 7. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Gold will shine wherever it is. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s devotion, there’s a destination. C Curiosity is a familiar feeling among people. Is curiosity a positive feeling or a negative feeling? Is it a painful reminder of what we don’t (yet) know, or an exciting signal to what we might soon discover? In fact, curiosity can be all of these things, and more. It has positive and negative faces: one points towards what we want, and one points towards what we have not yet got and may never get. Once we recognize that curiosity has two faces, we can consider what can affect the nature of our experience in a given case. A paper published in the journal Cognition and Emotion does just this for the dimension (维度) of time. The researchers ask: Is the experience of curiosity more likely to be positive when we expect that our curiosity will be satisfied sooner rather than later? To answer this question, the researchers carried out three studies with a total of over 200 participants from a university or online. In each study, the researchers induced (诱导) a state of curiosity by telling participants that they would later watch a video about “something with different shades of brown”. Participants were invited to guess what it might be, but they were not told. Half the participants were told they would watch the video after a short delay (延迟) of only one minute, and half were told that there would first be a 30-minute delay during which they would finish other interesting tasks. At the start of the delays, everyone expressed how curious they felt about the content of the video, as well as how much they felt negative feelings, such as discomfort, against positive feelings, such as happiness. The key finding was that while both groups reported equal levels of curiosity, the curiosity was accompanied by more negative feelings for those participants facing a long delay. The researchers argue that the finding sheds light on the two faces of curiosity. When our curiosity will not be satisfied anytime soon, we focus on not knowing, which is annoying. But when our curiosity is on the verge (边缘) of being satisfied, we focus on almost knowing, which is a more positive experience. 8. What is the function of the questions in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To show the author’s attitude. C. To present supporting evidence. D. To provide background information. 9. What did the research focus on? A. The two sides of curiosity. B. Delay’s effect on task performance. C. Curiosity differences between people. D. Factors affecting the experience of curiosity. 10. Why did the researchers divide participants into two groups? A. To collect more research data. B. To test different levels of curiosity. C. To compare effects of different delays. D. To discover different types of curiosity. 11. What did the study find about curiosity? A. The more we focus on not knowing, the more curious we become. B. Longer waiting time makes people less curious about the unknown. C. The experience of curiosity depends on how soon it will be satisfied. D. Curiosity itself determines whether the experience is positive or negative. D Humans cannot possibly survive without a handful of things. Water, undoubtedly, is one of the most important. Regarding our total dependence on water for survival, have you ever wondered if other creatures also depend on water so much? Let’s narrow down the kind of “creatures” to fish. This may sound a bit strange, but do fish feel thirsty too? This question is interesting because it is about “thirst”. Humans show this in different degrees (it can be just a little or I-can-wolf-the-whole-bowl-down). Thirst is an altogether different thing when we’re talking about creatures that live in water for most of their lives. Think of it this way: how would you ever feel hungry if you lived inside a pizza? Similarly, how can fish feel a strong need to drink water when they are practically surrounded by water all the time? However, it’s not as simple as that. Both freshwater and seawater fish show different behaviors when it comes to actively drinking water. Freshwater fish have blood with a higher concentration (浓度) of salt than the water they are surrounded by. Therefore, they run a high risk of having their blood diluted (稀释) if they drink water. This is why they don’t actively drink water to keep the balance of salt and water inside their bodies. Since the salt concentration in the blood of seawater fish is lower than the water they are surrounded by, they are often threatened by dehydration (脱水), so they actively drink water. Thanks to the impressive design of their gills (鳃), they can drink saltwater, process it and then remove the extra salt from their bodies. Actually, thirst, in fish, is more of a simple response that happens without requiring a thoughtful decision on their part (unlike humans); it just happens. Fish don’t necessarily have to feel thirsty in order to drink water. They don’t have that need to drink water after a hard round of exercise, or after walking across town on a hot, sunny day.

Patrick guided the camper (露营车) out of their quiet village while Evelyne sat beside him, one hand resting on the small carrier (宠物箱) in her lap, the other holding her phone. Through the window, she filmed the vineyards rolling by like green rivers. “Say hi to everyone,” asked Evelyne, turning the camera toward Patrick. Then she turned the phone toward the carrier. Inside, Filou — a tiny ball of black and white fur with curious green eyes — meowed (喵喵叫) softly at every passing bird. She posted the video later that morning, adding a few simple words: “Road trip: ON.” Within minutes, comments began to appear. Her followers — over three thousand of them — loved these small glimpses into her life. Among the likes and emojis, one comment caught her attention: “Cats are born curious explorers!” Evelyne smiled and slipped her phone back into her pocket, never knowing what would happen next. Filou was barely a year old, full of energy and curiosity. He pressed his nose against the glass of the car window, eager to explore the world outside. Each time a tree cast its shadow across the window, he would tilt (倾斜) his head. Each time a bird flew over the sky, he would fix his eyes on it. “He never misses a thing,” Patrick said, glancing at the rearview mirror. After hours of driving, they stopped at a rest area. Stepping out of the camper, they smelt the aroma (香气) of coffee. “Let’s grab a coffee, shall we?” Patrick suggested. Evelyne nodded. “See you in a minute,” she kissed Filou goodbye on the head and ran to her husband, leaving the passenger window open a crack to let in fresh air. They walked into the small cafe and enjoyed the peaceful afternoon. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When they returned to the camper, the carrier was empty. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, she received a comment below her post. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
