Vidal first experienced Brazil’s carnival celebrations as a baby living in Salvador, the capital of Bahia State. Before he was even one year old, his mother took him to his first carnival event.
The cultural traditions of Salvador have stuck with him. And, Vidal, a trained musician, now performs the typical music of Bahia in the US. He often plays in the Washington area.
February is the carnival season in Brazil and other countries around the world. Even the Washington area celebrates the season. Last week, Vidal and other musicians performed here for a carnival celebration. Performing in Washington and other US cities has helped Vidal stay close to his Brazilian roots (根).
“Living in the US now and not being able to enjoy carnival as I used to in Brazil with my friends and family is really heartbreaking. And that was the reason why I decided to start making my own events — carnival parties — just to get connected to my roots, and to my happiness.”
It may come as a surprise, but Washington is said to have one of the largest followings for Brazilian culture in the US. This year alone, there are more than twelve carnival celebrations in the Washington area. Here, the season isn’t celebrated on city streets as in Brazil, where it is warm summer. February is one of Washington’s coldest months, so the events take place at theatres, restaurants and other places.
Carnival is one of the world’s biggest celebrations. In many countries, activities take place for a few weeks each year and include huge parades (游行) and street parties with live music. Carnival goers wear colourful, themed clothing and masks.
4. What do we know about the author from the text?
A. He didn’t enjoy carnival at first.
B. His mother trained him to be a singer.
C. He encouraged Americans to celebrate carnival.
D. Brazil’s traditional cultures influenced him greatly.
5. How did the author feel during the carnival season in the US?
A. Grateful. B. Upset. C. Proud. D. Anxious.
6. What made the author decide to hold his own carnival parties?
A. Cultural shock. B. Americans’ rejection.
C. A sense of belonging. D. His mother’s request.
7. Why are the carnival celebrations in Washington held indoors?
A. Weather conditions limit them.
B. Most people are afraid of the problem of safety.
C. Young people can’t accept the form of carnival.
D. Americans prefer to have different forms of carnival.

A special event for an exhibition (展览) in London tracking the development of Chinese characters and their role in cultural exchange between China and the West began on Saturday at a gallery in London. The event combined historical shows with modern design and discussions between invited scholars and guests.
Titled “Hanzi of the West, Letters of the East,” the exhibition includes more than 100 works inspired by hanzi. The exhibition is designed as a step-by-step story that uses Chinese characters as a line to tell stories about China and about cultural experiences between China and Britain.
“The theme title invites us to see Chinese characters and alphabetic (字母的) letters not as opposites, but as ‘friends’; two different systems that both record sound, shape meaning and express emotion,” said Wu Yun, dean of the School of Foreign Studies at Tongji University.
One part of the exhibition explores how artists and designers use hanzi as a source of look and a starting point for their creations. It shows pieces that bring fresh meanings to the brush lines, the pieces that form the characters, and how they are built, through book designs, fashion, art exhibits and creative cultural products. Another section tracks the early spread of hanzi to the West and the pre-20th century efforts to systematize Chinese early printing methods.
Explanatory boards and visual timelines in the exhibition set out the development of Chinese characters from their early origins through how they changed over time. Visitors can follow how the script (笔迹) has shifted in form and use over centuries, while seeing how it continues to inspire design today.
Yukteshwar Kumar, a scholar at the University of Bath, said learning Chinese had shown him how much meaning is hidden within every character. “For me, the process of learning Chinese has been amazing, because every character has a story, and an exhibition like this helps people in Britain and China understand each other better, and that makes it very meaningful,” he said in fluent Chinese.
8. What is the main feature of the London exhibition event?
A. Focusing on traditional artworks.
B. Using advanced modern technology.
C. Inviting artists to create work on the spot.
D. Discussing cultural exchanges through characters.
9. What can be known from Wu’s words?
A. Hanzi and letters share one origin.
B. Western letters heavily influenced hanzi.
C. Hanzi and letters are not totally separate.
D. Characters can express special meanings.
10. What does the underlined word “shifted” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Changed. B. Protected. C. Spread. D. Described.
11. What does Yukteshwar Kumar think of the exhibition?
A. It is hard to understand for the British.
B. It helps deepen China-UK understanding.
C. It lacks enough character story shows.
D. It is worthwhile to further explore its hidden meanings.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在伦敦举办的“西方汉字,东方字母”主题展览,该展览以汉字为线索,结合历史展示与现代设计,探讨了汉字的发展及其在中西方文化交流中的作用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The event combined historical shows with modern design and discussions between invited scholars and guests.(这场活动将历史展示与现代设计相结合,还邀请了学者与嘉宾展开研讨。)”以及第二段“The exhibition is designed as a step-by-step story that uses Chinese characters as a line to tell stories about China and about cultural experiences between China and Britain.(该展览被设计成一个循序渐进的叙事,以汉字为线索,讲述中国的故事以及中英之间的文化交流历程。)”可知,该展览的核心是通过汉字来讲述中西方文化交流。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“‘The theme title invites us to see Chinese characters and alphabetic (字母的) letters not as opposites, but as ‘friends’; two different systems that both record sound, shape meaning and express emotion,’ said Wu Yun, dean of the School of Foreign Studies at Tongji University.(同济大学外国语学院院长吴云表示:‘这个主题标题让我们将汉字与字母文字视为‘朋友’而非对立面——它们是两种不同的系统,但都能记录声音、塑造意义并表达情感。’)”可知,吴云认为汉字与字母不是对立的,而是两种可以记录声音、塑造意义并表达情感的系统,说明二者并非完全割裂。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“Explanatory boards and visual timelines in the exhibition set out the development of Chinese characters from their early origins through how they changed over time.(展览中的说明展板和可视化时间线,完整呈现了汉字从早期起源到随时间演变的发展脉络。)”可知,展览展示了汉字从起源到“随时间变化”的过程,因此“shifted”与“changed”含义一致。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“‘For me, the process of learning Chinese has been amazing, because every character has a story, and an exhibition like this helps people in Britain and China understand each other better, and that makes it very meaningful,’ he said in fluent Chinese.(他用流利的中文说:“对我而言,学习中文的过程非常奇妙,因为每个汉字都有自己的故事。这样的展览能帮助中英两国人民更好地相互理解,这让它极具意义”)”可知,他认为这场展览有助于中英两国人民更好地相互理解。故选B。

When Marie Benton first moved to London in 2008, joining a choir helped her settle in. To comfort and boost confidence for people in trouble, she hung posters in local hostels advertising “a choir with no name (yet)”, and it was an immediate success. Thus was officially born The Choir with No Name (TCWNN), which now boasts seven choirs across multiple cities to support those affected by homelessness and exclusion.
Studies have documented the close link between homelessness and poor mental health. A 2022 report revealed homeless people experience worse physical and mental health than the general population. Fortunately, research in Psychology of Music found choir participation improves positive emotions, with 88% of people seeing mental health improvements and 78% reporting reduced stress and anxiety.
Frequently excluded and often ignored, homeless people are often isolated. “Our choirs aim to do the opposite, where everyone is seen and heard,” says TCWNN’s CEO Dr. Kate Wareham.
Unlike other groups, TCWNN is free to join, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds and musical abilities, with no pre-registration, audition or regular commitment. Rehearsals (彩排) start with a chat, followed by 90 minutes of group singing and a hot meal afterward. The choir directors are teaching group singing in a way that ensures everyone is supported to grow both personally and musically.
Dan, who has been in the choir since 2015, says his life has been transformed. Forced to leave his family home and living in a hostel, he had withdrawn from the world. Weekly rehearsals gave him a routine among the chaos, providing hope during darkness. “When I joined, I was at the bottom of the ladder; choir was the start of climbing up, and, slowly but surely, I got to where I am today — a confident and outgoing person.” he says. Now Dan has his own flat and rebuilds family relationships.
12. Why did Marie Benton start TCWNN?
A. To uplift people experiencing hardships. B. To help herself settle in London quickly.
C. To help with the promotion of local hostels. D. To establish a choir network across the UK.
13. What does the research in Psychology of Music show?
A. The growing popularity of singing activities. B. The poor physical health of homeless people.
C. The positive effects of choir on mental health. D. The link between homelessness and mental health.
14. What does TCWNN feature?
A. Required registration. B. Easy access for everyone.
C. High attendance demands. D. Strict musical ability standards.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Where Every Voice Matters B. How Music Heals Inner Wounds
C. Why Singing Brings Stress Relief D. What Science Says About Choirs
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍Marie Benton创立无名合唱团帮助无家可归者,讲述该合唱团的特点、音乐对流浪者的积极影响,还列举实例印证其带来的改变。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第“To comfort and boost confidence for people in trouble, she hung posters in local hostels advertising “a choir with no name (yet)”, and it was an immediate success.(为了安慰陷入困境的人们并增强他们的信心,她在当地收容所张贴海报宣传“一个还没有名字的合唱团”,并立刻获得了成功。)”可知,Marie创立该合唱团是为了鼓舞身处困境的人。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Fortunately, research in Psychology of Music found choir participation improves positive emotions, with 88% of people seeing mental health improvements and 78% reporting reduced stress and anxiety.(幸运的是,《音乐心理学》的研究发现,参与合唱团能提升积极情绪,88%的人心理健康状况得到改善,78%的人压力和焦虑有所减轻。)”可知,该研究表明合唱团对心理健康有积极作用。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Unlike other groups, TCWNN is free to join, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds and musical abilities, with no pre-registration, audition or regular commitment.(与其他团体不同,无名合唱团免费加入,欢迎所有年龄、背景和音乐水平的人,无需提前注册、试音或定期参与。)”可知,该合唱团的特点是人人都能轻松加入。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第三段““Our choirs aim to do the opposite, where everyone is seen and heard,” says TCWNN’s CEO Dr. Kate Wareham.(无名合唱团的首席执行官凯特・韦勒姆博士说:‘我们的合唱团恰恰相反,在这里每个人都会被看见、被倾听。’)”可知,文章主要介绍Marie Benton创立无名合唱团帮助无家可归者,讲述该合唱团的特点、音乐对流浪者的积极影响,还列举实例印证其带来的改变,其核心是这个合唱团让每个声音都被重视。所以A项“Where Every Voice Matters(每个声音都很重要)”符合文章主旨,为最佳标题。故选A项。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
One day after school, my younger brother Alan called out to me, “David! Come here quickly! I have something to show you!” To my surprise, he had brought home an injured bird. I was immediately attracted by its bright blue feathers. For some reason, I named the bird “Robin” in my mind, and I readily agreed with my brother’s choice.
Alan told me that Robin had fallen from a tree, hitting the ground and hurting its wings. A group of kids surrounded the injured bird, unsure of what to do. Alan quickly stepped in and brought it home. Robin was scared and nervous, and I could feel its trembling body as I held it in my hands. We took it to the vet, where it got timely treatment.
Following the doctor’s instructions, we took great care of Robin. Gradually, it became calm and started to sense our kindness.
Since we didn’t have a birdcage, I decided to make one myself. I was fairly good at art, so I found a cardboard box, cut out four windows, and used wooden sticks as bars. Once it was done, I carefully placed Robin inside its new shelter. It took him two days to get used to his new surroundings.
Our dog, Max, had always been a sweetheart, but he became increasingly excited. He would circle the box and sometimes bark at it in a playful way. I realized he wasn’t trying to scare Robin; instead, he seemed interested in his new feathered friend and eager to play with him in his own way.
About two months later, Robin made a full recovery. To provide Robin with a comfortable living environment, my father bought a bright birdcage. However, I noticed that Robin kept trying to escape from the cage and cried frequently. Alan mentioned that he sensed Robin was lonely and missed his family. This made me realize that it was time to send him home to nature.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150字左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
After some discussions, Alan and I decided to set Robin free. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a sudden burst of energy, Robin took off into the sky. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After some discussions, Alan and I decided to set Robin free. We chose a sunny morning, taking the birdcage to the big oak tree where Alan first found Robin. As we approached the spot, memories of rescuing Robin flooded back, making the moment even more meaningful. I gently opened the cage door, my heart a little sad but happy for it. Alan stroked Robin’s blue feathers softly, whispering that it could come back to visit us anytime. Robin hopped to the cage entrance, looked at us for a moment, as if expressing its gratitude, and we could tell it was ready for this new journey.
With a sudden burst of energy, Robin took off into the sky. It circled above us twice, its bright blue feathers shining in the sun, as if showing off its newfound freedom. Max wagged his tail and barked gently, as if saying goodbye, and we could see the connection between all living beings at that moment. Alan and I waved our hands, watching it fly farther and farther until it disappeared into the forest. Though we felt a bit empty, we knew we did the right thing — nature is always Robin’s true home, and we were glad to have been a part of its story.

Vidal first experienced Brazil’s carnival celebrations as a baby living in Salvador, the capital of Bahia State. Before he was even one year old, his mother took him to his first carnival event.
The cultural traditions of Salvador have stuck with him. And, Vidal, a trained musician, now performs the typical music of Bahia in the US. He often plays in the Washington area.
February is the carnival season in Brazil and other countries around the world. Even the Washington area celebrates the season. Last week, Vidal and other musicians performed here for a carnival celebration. Performing in Washington and other US cities has helped Vidal stay close to his Brazilian roots (根).
“Living in the US now and not being able to enjoy carnival as I used to in Brazil with my friends and family is really heartbreaking. And that was the reason why I decided to start making my own events — carnival parties — just to get connected to my roots, and to my happiness.”
It may come as a surprise, but Washington is said to have one of the largest followings for Brazilian culture in the US. This year alone, there are more than twelve carnival celebrations in the Washington area. Here, the season isn’t celebrated on city streets as in Brazil, where it is warm summer. February is one of Washington’s coldest months, so the events take place at theatres, restaurants and other places.
Carnival is one of the world’s biggest celebrations. In many countries, activities take place for a few weeks each year and include huge parades (游行) and street parties with live music. Carnival goers wear colourful, themed clothing and masks.
4. What do we know about the author from the text?
A. He didn’t enjoy carnival at first.
B. His mother trained him to be a singer.
C. He encouraged Americans to celebrate carnival.
D. Brazil’s traditional cultures influenced him greatly.
5. How did the author feel during the carnival season in the US?
A. Grateful. B. Upset. C. Proud. D. Anxious.
6. What made the author decide to hold his own carnival parties?
A. Cultural shock. B. Americans’ rejection.
C. A sense of belonging. D. His mother’s request.
7. Why are the carnival celebrations in Washington held indoors?
A. Weather conditions limit them.
B. Most people are afraid of the problem of safety.
C. Young people can’t accept the form of carnival.
D. Americans prefer to have different forms of carnival.

A special event for an exhibition (展览) in London tracking the development of Chinese characters and their role in cultural exchange between China and the West began on Saturday at a gallery in London. The event combined historical shows with modern design and discussions between invited scholars and guests.
Titled “Hanzi of the West, Letters of the East,” the exhibition includes more than 100 works inspired by hanzi. The exhibition is designed as a step-by-step story that uses Chinese characters as a line to tell stories about China and about cultural experiences between China and Britain.
“The theme title invites us to see Chinese characters and alphabetic (字母的) letters not as opposites, but as ‘friends’; two different systems that both record sound, shape meaning and express emotion,” said Wu Yun, dean of the School of Foreign Studies at Tongji University.
One part of the exhibition explores how artists and designers use hanzi as a source of look and a starting point for their creations. It shows pieces that bring fresh meanings to the brush lines, the pieces that form the characters, and how they are built, through book designs, fashion, art exhibits and creative cultural products. Another section tracks the early spread of hanzi to the West and the pre-20th century efforts to systematize Chinese early printing methods.
Explanatory boards and visual timelines in the exhibition set out the development of Chinese characters from their early origins through how they changed over time. Visitors can follow how the script (笔迹) has shifted in form and use over centuries, while seeing how it continues to inspire design today.
Yukteshwar Kumar, a scholar at the University of Bath, said learning Chinese had shown him how much meaning is hidden within every character. “For me, the process of learning Chinese has been amazing, because every character has a story, and an exhibition like this helps people in Britain and China understand each other better, and that makes it very meaningful,” he said in fluent Chinese.
8. What is the main feature of the London exhibition event?
A. Focusing on traditional artworks.
B. Using advanced modern technology.
C. Inviting artists to create work on the spot.
D. Discussing cultural exchanges through characters.
9. What can be known from Wu’s words?
A. Hanzi and letters share one origin.
B. Western letters heavily influenced hanzi.
C. Hanzi and letters are not totally separate.
D. Characters can express special meanings.
10. What does the underlined word “shifted” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Changed. B. Protected. C. Spread. D. Described.
11. What does Yukteshwar Kumar think of the exhibition?
A. It is hard to understand for the British.
B. It helps deepen China-UK understanding.
C. It lacks enough character story shows.
D. It is worthwhile to further explore its hidden meanings.

When Marie Benton first moved to London in 2008, joining a choir helped her settle in. To comfort and boost confidence for people in trouble, she hung posters in local hostels advertising “a choir with no name (yet)”, and it was an immediate success. Thus was officially born The Choir with No Name (TCWNN), which now boasts seven choirs across multiple cities to support those affected by homelessness and exclusion.
Studies have documented the close link between homelessness and poor mental health. A 2022 report revealed homeless people experience worse physical and mental health than the general population. Fortunately, research in Psychology of Music found choir participation improves positive emotions, with 88% of people seeing mental health improvements and 78% reporting reduced stress and anxiety.
Frequently excluded and often ignored, homeless people are often isolated. “Our choirs aim to do the opposite, where everyone is seen and heard,” says TCWNN’s CEO Dr. Kate Wareham.
Unlike other groups, TCWNN is free to join, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds and musical abilities, with no pre-registration, audition or regular commitment. Rehearsals (彩排) start with a chat, followed by 90 minutes of group singing and a hot meal afterward. The choir directors are teaching group singing in a way that ensures everyone is supported to grow both personally and musically.
Dan, who has been in the choir since 2015, says his life has been transformed. Forced to leave his family home and living in a hostel, he had withdrawn from the world. Weekly rehearsals gave him a routine among the chaos, providing hope during darkness. “When I joined, I was at the bottom of the ladder; choir was the start of climbing up, and, slowly but surely, I got to where I am today — a confident and outgoing person.” he says. Now Dan has his own flat and rebuilds family relationships.
12. Why did Marie Benton start TCWNN?
A. To uplift people experiencing hardships. B. To help herself settle in London quickly.
C. To help with the promotion of local hostels. D. To establish a choir network across the UK.
13. What does the research in Psychology of Music show?
A. The growing popularity of singing activities. B. The poor physical health of homeless people.
C. The positive effects of choir on mental health. D. The link between homelessness and mental health.
14. What does TCWNN feature?
A. Required registration. B. Easy access for everyone.
C. High attendance demands. D. Strict musical ability standards.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Where Every Voice Matters B. How Music Heals Inner Wounds
C. Why Singing Brings Stress Relief D. What Science Says About Choirs

47. 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。
One day after school, my younger brother Alan called out to me, “David! Come here quickly! I have something to show you!” To my surprise, he had brought home an injured bird. I was immediately attracted by its bright blue feathers. For some reason, I named the bird “Robin” in my mind, and I readily agreed with my brother’s choice.
Alan told me that Robin had fallen from a tree, hitting the ground and hurting its wings. A group of kids surrounded the injured bird, unsure of what to do. Alan quickly stepped in and brought it home. Robin was scared and nervous, and I could feel its trembling body as I held it in my hands. We took it to the vet, where it got timely treatment.
Following the doctor’s instructions, we took great care of Robin. Gradually, it became calm and started to sense our kindness.
Since we didn’t have a birdcage, I decided to make one myself. I was fairly good at art, so I found a cardboard box, cut out four windows, and used wooden sticks as bars. Once it was done, I carefully placed Robin inside its new shelter. It took him two days to get used to his new surroundings.
Our dog, Max, had always been a sweetheart, but he became increasingly excited. He would circle the box and sometimes bark at it in a playful way. I realized he wasn’t trying to scare Robin; instead, he seemed interested in his new feathered friend and eager to play with him in his own way.
About two months later, Robin made a full recovery. To provide Robin with a comfortable living environment, my father bought a bright birdcage. However, I noticed that Robin kept trying to escape from the cage and cried frequently. Alan mentioned that he sensed Robin was lonely and missed his family. This made me realize that it was time to send him home to nature.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150字左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
After some discussions, Alan and I decided to set Robin free. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a sudden burst of energy, Robin took off into the sky. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
