It was very dark outside.I heated the food in the kitchen again,but my dad still didn't come back from the
forest.He worked as a forest ranger ()In the moming,he told me he would go to check the new small
trees and that I didn't need to wait for him for dinner.But now,the wind was blowing hard and making a loud
noise,like an animal.I stood at the door and called him,but he didn't answer.
"I can't wait any longer,"I thought.I took a flashlight from the comer and went out.The light showed me
the way,but the shadows of the trees looked scary,like claws.I held the flashlight more tightly.I was worried
that Dad might be lost or in trouble,so I walked into the forest slowly
The wind blew harder,and the leaves made noise.I was scared and kept looking back,but I saw nothing.
The flashlight was dying.Just then,I heard someone shout,"Xiaoyu?Is that you?"
It was Dad!I shouted,"Dad!I'm here!"I saw the light move,and then I saw his orange ranger clothes.I
ran to him and jumped into his arms.I could smell the pine on him,and I almost cried."Son,why are you here?"

(B)
Experts at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a
foreign language.They found that remembering words in singing was the best way to remember even one
of the most difficult languages
The experts got the result by doing an experiment.They invited 60 people and divided them into three
groups of 20.Then they asked the three groups of people to study words from the Hungarian(
)language.Why Hungarian,you ask?The experts said they chose Hungarian because not many people
knew the language.
All three groups studied the Hungarian language for 15 minutes.The scientists asked them to learn in
three different ways.They asked the first group to simply speak the words.They let the second group
speak the words to a rhythm()And they asked the third group to sing the words.Then the three
groups of people joined in a few language tests to see what they remembered.The group of people who
learned the Hungarian words by singing them did better than the others.They did the best in four out of
five of the tests.They also did two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.
Dr Katie Overy was one of the experts who did the experiment.She thought the findings could help
those who try to learn foreign languages."The brain seems to like music,especially for remembering,"she
said.
So,the next time you study for a language test,try to sing out what you need to remember.
26.Why did the experts choose the Hungarian language for the experiment?
A.Hungarian is the most difficult language in the world.
B.The experts themselves were from Hungary.
(COnly a few people knew the language.
D.Hungarian words are easy to sing.
4/12
27.Which group performed the best in the language tests?
A.The group that spoke the words to a rhythm.
B.The group that learned the words by singing.
C.The group that simply spoke the words aloud.
D.The group that wrote the words down repeatedly.
28.What will the writer probably talk about next if the passage continues?
A.More information about the University of Edinburgh.
B.The history and grammar rules of the Hungarian language.
C.Some useful tips on how to use singing for language learning.
D.Other experiments about the relationship between music and math.
29.What can we infer from Dr Katie Overy's words in paragraph 4?
A.Singing is only helpful for remembering music lyrics.
B.The brain prefers music when it comes to memorizing.
C.People should only learn languages by singing songs.
D.It is impossible to remember words without music.
30.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The Secrets of the Hungarian Language
B.An Experiment at the University of Edinburgh
C.How to Pass a Language Test Easily
D.Sing Your Way to Better Language Memory
(C
Life is full of moments,but some are "special"and stay in our hearts forever.For example,the first
time you rode a bike alone,a friend's hug when you were sad,or in the evening talking with family.These
moments aren't always big,but they change how we feel about ourselves and the world.
Special moments are like treasures.We don't need to write them down-our hearts remember them.A
teacher might praise a shy student's drawing,making the child feel important.A parent could bake cookies
with you on a rainy day,filling the kitchen with laughter.Even strangers can create them:a waiter who
knows your coffee order,or a neighbor who helps carry groceries.These small acts stay in our minds
because they make us feel loved.
Businesses also use special moments.A cafe might play soft music and serve warm cookies on cold
days to make customers feel welcome.A bookstore could hold story time for kids every weekend,turning a
5/12
visit into a happy memory.An ice-cream shop lets customers decorate their own cones-seeing a child
smile while adding something is a moment everyone remembers.
In the end,special moments are everywhere.They don't need money or planning-just a little care.A
kind word,a smile,or a small surprise can make life richer.So take time to enjoy these moments-they
make life worth living.
31.What does the passage say about special moments?
A.They are always big and exciting.
B.We can keep the special things in mind.
C.We need to write them down to remember.
D.They have nothing to do with how we feel.
32.What does the ice-cream shop probably do according to the passage?
A.It sells the cheapest ice-cream.
B.It closes early on weekends.
C.It refuses to let kids enter.
D.It creates ice-cream moments for guests.
33.In which of the following sentences does the word"change"have the same meaning as the underlined
“change”in paragraph 1'?
A.Excuse me,do you have change for a ten-yuan note?I need to take the bus.
B.Some young people change their cars every five years.
C.You should change your shoes before going for a hike;these are not comfortable at all.
D.A warm hug can sometimes completely change a person's mood on a bad day.
34.What can we infer from the sentence"A waiter who knows your coffee order"in paragraph 2?
A.The waiter has a very good memory for faces.
B.The coffee in that shop is more delicious.
C.The waiter makes the customer feel special and loved.
D.The customer goes to the cafe every single day.
35.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To explain why some moments are more important than others.
B.To encourage readers to notice and value small special moments in life.
C.To compare the ways different people create happy memories.
D.To advise businesses on how to attract more customers.

Discovering China's Living Treasures
What comes to mind when you think of China's treasures?Perhaps the Great Wall or ancient
paintings?But some of China's most valuable treasures cannot be locked in a museum.They live in the
hands,voices,and daily lives of ordinary people.36.
_In China,there are over 100,000 items of
intangible cultural heritage,ranging from folk music and dance to traditional festivals and craftsmanship.
One of the most well-known Chinese ICH items is paper-cutting.37.
During festivals like
the Spring Festival,people paste red paper-cuts on windows and doors,hoping to bring good luck and
happiness to the family.The art dates back to the 6th century.38.For example,Shandong-style
paper-cut is famous for its bold and large patterns,while Sichuan-style features delicate and tiny details.In
2009,Chinese paper-cut was added to UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage
of Humanity.Today,young people are learning this traditional craft in schools and workshops,keeping the
art alive.
Another fascinating ICH item is shadow puppetry.Dating back to the Western Han Dynasty over
2,000 years ago,it is one of the oldest forms of theater using light and shadow.Puppets,usually made from
animal leather,are held behind a white screen while a bright light shines on them.39.
A
troupe()usually includes a puppeteer,several musicians,and a singer who performs all the voices in
the story.The piays pass on historical stories,local customs,and social beliefs from generation to
generation.In 2011,Chinese shadow puppetry was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage
list.
Some ICH items turn everyday materials into something magical.Take wheat straw painting()
as an example.After being carefully selected,steamed,ironed,cut,and pasted,the golden wheat
straws-once ordinary leftovers from the harvest-become beautiful artworks showing flowers,birds,and
landscapes.40.
"We want more young people to know about it,"said an inheritor of the craft.
"It's our duty to pass it on."
Every piece of intangible cultural heritage carries a unique story of Chinese wisdom and beauty.Let's
protect them together-they are the living treasures that connect our past with the future.
7/12
A.
This ancient folk art uses simple scissors and paper to create beautiful patterns of flowers,
animals,and lucky symbols.
B.They are part of China's"intangible cultural heritage"-living traditions passed down from
generation to generation.
C.
Some people think that shadow puppetry is too old-fashioned for modern audiences.
D.
The moving shadows on the screen then tell stories with music and singing,creating a magical world
of light and shadow.
E.Today,there are only a few masters who have the skill to turn simple straw into such detailed art.
F.Over the centuries,different regions in China have developed their own styles and patterns of
paper-cutting.

第二节回答问题(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)
A Colorful Painting from Ancient China
There is a very famous painting in China.It is called "A Thousand Li of Rivers and
Mountains'”(《千里江山图》).It was painted almost900 years ago,but its colors are still bright and
beautiful today.How is that possible?Let's find out!
A Young Painter
The painter was a young man named Wang Ximeng.He learned to paint at the royal art school.The
emperor saw his talent and taught him personally.When Wang Ximeng was only 18 years old,he spent
half a year painting this great work.Sadly,he died very young.This is the only painting he left behind.
Big and Beautiful
The painting is hugemore than 11 meters long!It is painted on silk.In the painting,you can see
blue mountains and green rivers.There are small villages,bridges,and boats.If you look closely,you can
even see tiny people fishing and walking.Every part is painted with great care.
The Secret of the Colors
Why are the colors still so bright after 900 years?The secret is the paint.Wang Ximeng used colors
made from real stones.The blue is from a stone called azurite ()The green is from a stone called
malachite )Stone colors do not fade easily,so the painting still looks fresh.
