These trends (趋势) show how people want to find meaningful experiences. Have fun at night As the world gets hotter, many people find it uncomfortable to go out during the day, especially in summer. They enjoy going to places to do fun activities in the cooler evenings. While most activities have something to do with the night sky, others happen on the ground, such as city tours at night and full moon picnics by the sea. Keys to living longer In 2025, more people will plan their trips around activities that help them live longer, according to Booking. com. For example, people will go to places that offer red light therapy to visitors. The therapy uses red light to help make skin look better. Studies show that connecting with others makes people healthier, so many travel locations have introduced activities like group hikes. Smaller and less famous Sometimes when you are traveling, going a different way and finding cool places can be fun. Detour (绕道) travel means going to smaller, less famous places close to the main sites and spending time there. This is because once you start looking at a train timetable, you find there are so many interesting little stops you could take. 29. Many people enjoy traveling at night because ________. A. night views are more beautiful B. they enjoy fun activities at cooler nights C. there are more activities at night D. they want to avoid the crowds of people in the daytime 30. From this passage, we learn about the following EXCEPT that ________. A. city tours at night are growing popular B. red light therapy improves the colour of skin C. detour travel explores lesser-known places D. daytime travel will disappear completely 31. What is the writing order of this passage? A. Space order. B. Time order. C. General to specific. D. Specific to general. 32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. New ways to travel B. Having a healthy travel C. The end of daytime travel D. Avoiding popular places 【答案】29. B 30. D 31. C 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了2025年旅游的三大趋势：夜间活动、健康长寿旅行和小众目的地探索。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As the world gets hotter… They enjoy going to places to do fun activities in the cooler evenings”可知，人们选择夜间旅行是因为夜晚更凉爽，适合进行有趣的活动。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“others happen on the ground, such as city tours at night”可知，夜间城市游览受欢迎，但是“白天旅行完全消失”未提及且与文意不符，夜间旅行是补充而非替代。故选D。 【31题详解】 篇章结构题。文章首段提出“寻找有意义体验”的总主题，后三段分别从夜间活动、健康旅行和小众旅行展开说明，属于“总—分”结构。故选C。 【32题详解】 最佳标题。全文围绕2025年旅游新趋势展开，“New ways to travel”最能概括主题。故选A。 C They got up early the next morning from their soft beds. The sun was shining brightly and the wind was blowing from the South. Jip smelt the South wind for half an hour. Then he came to the Doctor, shaking his head. ① “I can’t smell any snuff (鼻烟). We must wait for the East wind.” But even when the East wind came at three o’clock that afternoon, the clever dog still could not catch the smell of snuff. The little boy was terribly sad and began to cry, saying no one seemed to be able to find his uncle for him. ② . But Jip told him “I will help you find your uncle when the wind changes to the West—even if he is in China, as long as he is still using Black Rappee snuff.” After waiting for three days, the West wind finally arrived on Friday morning. A fine rainy fog lay on the sea and the wind was soft and warm. As soon as Jip woke up, he rushed upstairs and held nose in the air. ③ “Doctor, Doctor! Wake up! I’ve got it! I smell it! The wind is full of snuff! Hurry and sail the ship!” The Doctor quickly jumped out of the bed and took control of the ship’s wheels. ④ “Now, watch my nose,” said Jip proudly. “Whichever way my nose point it, you turn the ship the same way. With such a strong smell and perfect wind, we will find him soon! Now watch me!” —Adapted from Doctor Dolittle 33. From the passage, we know Jip is ________. A. a ship B. a dog C. a doctor D. a bed 34. ________ is the best place for the sentence “Then he got very excitedly and rushed down to wake the Doctor up.” A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 35. Which of the following is the CORRECT order according to the passage? a. The wind from the West was full of snuff. b. The Doctor sailed the ship and search for the smell of snuff. c. Jip smelt no snuff from the South wind. d. The East wind came at 3 three o’clock that afternoon. A. c-d-a-b B. d-a-b-c C. b-c-d-a D. a-b-c-d 36. We can infer the boy would become ________ in the following part of this passage. A. sad B. angry C. stressed D. excited 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. A 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Jip帮助小男孩找叔叔的故事。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Jip smelt the South wind for half an hour.”以及“As soon as Jip woke up, he rushed upstairs and held nose in the air.”可知，能够准确的闻出气味的应该是狗，所以Jip是一条狗，故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As soon as Jip woke up, he rushed upstairs and held nose in the air.”以及“Doctor, Doctor! Wake up! I’ve got it! I smell it! The wind is full of snuff! Hurry and sail the ship!”可知，这里是狗闻到了空气中的烟味，所以非常激动地叫醒博士，所以题干中的句子应放在③处，故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Jip smelt the South wind for half an hour. Then he came to the Doctor, shaking his head. ‘I can’t smell any snuff (鼻烟). We must wait for the East wind.’” 可知，首先Jip闻南风，没有闻到鼻烟味（c）；接着“But even when the East wind came at three o’clock that afternoon, the clever dog still could not catch the smell of snuff. ”，即下午三点东风来了（d），Jip还是没闻到鼻烟味；再根据“After waiting for three days, the West wind finally arrived on Friday morning. A fine rainy fog lay on the sea and the wind was soft and warm.”以及“Doctor, Doctor! Wake up! I’ve got it! I smell it! The wind is full of snuff! Hurry and sail the ship!”可知，后来西风来了，风里充满了鼻烟味（a）；最后“The Doctor quickly jumped out of the bed and took control of the ship’s wheels.”，医生开船去寻找鼻烟味（b）。所以正确的顺序是 c-d-a-b。故选A。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章结尾Jip兴奋地表示“With such a strong smell and perfect wind, we will find him soon!”可以推断，男孩接下来会感到兴奋，因为有找到叔叔的希望了。故选D。 D My first name was Philip, but when I was a small child, I could only say Pip. So Pip became my name. I lived in a small village with my sister, who married Joe, the village blacksmith (铁匠). My parents had died years ago, so I often went to visit the churchyard to look at their names on their gravestones (墓碑). One cold afternoon, I sat on a gravestone in that churchyard, listening to the sound of the sea. “Don’t say a word!” cried a voice, as a man jumped up and caught me. “If you shout, I’ll kill you!” He was a big man, with an iron chain (铁链) on his leg. He looked tired, and hungry. I had never been so scared in my whole life. “Oh! Don’t kill me, sir!” “Tell me your name, boy!” he said, still holding me. “And show me where you live!” “My name’s Pip, sir. And I live in the village over there.” He picked me up and turned me upside down. A piece of old bread fell out of my pocket. He ate it like a dog. “So where are your parents?” he asked. “There, sir,” I answered, pointing to their graves. “What!” he cried, and wanted to run, when he saw where I was pointing. “Oh!” he said. “They’re dead. Well, who do you live with?” “With my sister, sir, wife of the blacksmith.” “Blacksmith, you say?” And he looked down at his leg. Then he held me and looked down into my eyes. “Now look here. You bring me a file and some food to me tomorrow morning. If you don’t, or if you tell anyone about me, I’ll cut your heart out.” “I promise I’ll do it, sir,” my body was shaking. “You see,” he continued, “I travel with a friend, who likes eating boys’ hearts. Wherever you are, we’ll find you.” As soon as he turned, I ran home as fast as I could. —Taken from Great Expectations 37. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 1? A.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Pip在教堂墓地发生的恐怖事情。 【37题详解】 段落大意题。根据第一段中“My parents had died years ago, so I often went to visit the churchyard to look at their names on their gravestones (墓碑).”可知，Pip的父母多年前就去世了，所以他经常去教堂墓地看他们的墓碑，为下文作者在教堂墓地发生的故事点明了原因。故选D。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第十段中“‘What!’ he cried, and wanted to run”可知，当Pip指出他父母在哪里时，这个人一开始很害怕。故选B。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“He was a big man, with an iron chain (铁链) on his leg.”可知，这个人腿上绑着一条铁链，所以此处应是他在叫Pip拿一种能折断锁链的工具。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节排序题。根据第三段中“as a man jumped up and caught me”，第七段中“A piece of old bread fell out of my pocket. He ate it like a dog.”，倒数第四段中“if you tell anyone about me, I’ll cut your heart out”及倒数第二段中“I travel with a friend, who likes eating boys’ hearts. Wherever you are, we’ll find you.”可知，文章先是讲述这个人很快抓住了Pip，接着他像狗一样吃着匹普的面包，然后他要求 Pip保守秘密，最后他和Pip讲述自己的朋友。故选B。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“‘I promise I’ll do it, sir,’ my body was shaking.”可推知，Pip回家后会按照那个人的吩咐去做。故选A。 Humans have feelings, and guess what? ____42____ A new study says plants can sense their environment and answer to stress, just like animals. Scientists used a machine to watch plants’ reactions when they were treated in different ways. ____43____ When people watered a plant, the machine drew smooth, calm lines. It showed a calm reaction, just like how people feel when they relax. But when someone shook the plant or blew smoke near it, the lines became sharp and shaky. This shows plants might “feel” stress! ____44____ A scientist acted meanly—he pretended (假装) to cut leaves with scissors. The machine’s lines jumped wildly as he came near! However, when other scientists walked past the same plant, the machine stayed quiet. It seemed the plant only reacted to the “dangerous” person! Another experiment tested if plants care about other living things. Live fish were dropped into hot water nearby. Surprisingly, the machine recorded strong reactions right away, as if the plants sensed the pain of dying animals. ____45____ But how do plants “feel”? They don’t have brains, but their cells can send tiny signals when touched. For example, if you tickle a plant’s roots, its leaves might curl up! So what can we do? ____46____ One gardener said her flowers bloomed brighter when she played soft music. Though we don’t fully understand plants yet, treating them with care is always a good idea. A. Plants might too! B. Sing to your plants! C. The most exciting test was about danger. D. The machine recorded how the plants changed. E. Plants given kind words grow 20% taller than silent ones. F. Scientists think plants have a secret connection to all life. 【答案】42. A 43. D 44. C 45. F 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了植物是否具有类似人类的感知能力。 【42题详解】 根据“Humans have feelings, and guess what?”及“A new study says plants can sense their environment and answer to stress, just like animals.”可知，首句以设问引出“人类有情感”，空后提及植物有情感的发现。选项A“植物也可能有。”与之相符。故选A。 【43题详解】 根据“Scientists used a machine to watch plants’ reactions when they were treated in different ways.”可知，介绍了用机器观察植物反应的实验方法，故空处需具体说明机器的作用。选项D“机器记录植物如何改变。”与之相符。故选D。 【44题详解】 根据“A scientist acted meanly—he pretended (假装) to cut leaves with scissors.

On the first day of the job, it was so awful. When he was about to work, he found he had left his tools for work at home, and his car broke down on the way. While I was driving him home, his wife telephoned to say that his son had a bad cold. He was silent all the way. When we arrived, he invited me to meet his family. As we walked towards the front door, he stopped at a small tree and touched the tree with his hands. When we opened the door, I was very surprised to see that the worker wore a big smile. It seemed that he changed into another person. He hugged his son and gave his wife a kiss. After a while, when he walked to the car, I asked him why he had touched the tree. “Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he answered. “Sometimes I have trouble with my job, but one thing is for sure—it doesn’t belong to my wife or my son. So I just hang the trouble on the tree when I come home every night. Then the next morning I pick it up. However, when I pick it up, I hardly remember what I put the night before.” That’s true.

One rainy afternoon, I was walking home from school when I saw an old man fall down heavily near the bus stop.

B Do you have any travel plans for 2025? These trends (趋势) show how people want to find meaningful experiences. Have fun at night As the world gets hotter, many people find it uncomfortable to go out during the day, especially in summer. They enjoy going to places to do fun activities in the cooler evenings. While most activities have something to do with the night sky, others happen on the ground, such as city tours at night and full moon picnics by the sea. Keys to living longer In 2025, more people will plan their trips around activities that help them live longer, according to Booking. com. For example, people will go to places that offer red light therapy to visitors. The therapy uses red light to help make skin look better. Studies show that connecting with others makes people healthier, so many travel locations have introduced activities like group hikes. Smaller and less famous Sometimes when you are traveling, going a different way and finding cool places can be fun. Detour (绕道) travel means going to smaller, less famous places close to the main sites and spending time there. This is because once you start looking at a train timetable, you find there are so many interesting little stops you could take. 29. Many people enjoy traveling at night because ________. A. night views are more beautiful B. they enjoy fun activities at cooler nights C. there are more activities at night D. they want to avoid the crowds of people in the daytime 30.

New ways to travel B. Having a healthy travel C. The end of daytime travel D. Avoiding popular places C They got up early the next morning from their soft beds. The sun was shining brightly and the wind was blowing from the South. Jip smelt the South wind for half an hour. Then he came to the Doctor, shaking his head. ① “I can’t smell any snuff (鼻烟). We must wait for the East wind.” But even when the East wind came at three o’clock that afternoon, the clever dog still could not catch the smell of snuff. The little boy was terribly sad and began to cry, saying no one seemed to be able to find his uncle for him. ② . But Jip told him “I will help you find your uncle when the wind changes to the West—even if he is in China, as long as he is still using Black Rappee snuff.” After waiting for three days, the West wind finally arrived on Friday morning. A fine rainy fog lay on the sea and the wind was soft and warm. As soon as Jip woke up, he rushed upstairs and held nose in the air. ③ “Doctor, Doctor! Wake up! I’ve got it! I smell it! The wind is full of snuff! Hurry and sail the ship!” The Doctor quickly jumped out of the bed and took control of the ship’s wheels. ④ “Now, watch my nose,” said Jip proudly. “Whichever way my nose point it, you turn the ship the same way. With such a strong smell and perfect wind, we will find him soon! Now watch me!” —Adapted from Doctor Dolittle 33. From the passage, we know Jip is ________.

We can infer the boy would become ________ in the following part of this passage. A. sad B. angry C. stressed D. excited D My first name was Philip, but when I was a small child, I could only say Pip. So Pip became my name. I lived in a small village with my sister, who married Joe, the village blacksmith (铁匠). My parents had died years ago, so I often went to visit the churchyard to look at their names on their gravestones (墓碑). One cold afternoon, I sat on a gravestone in that churchyard, listening to the sound of the sea. “Don’t say a word!” cried a voice, as a man jumped up and caught me. “If you shout, I’ll kill you!” He was a big man, with an iron chain (铁链) on his leg. He looked tired, and hungry. I had never been so scared in my whole life. “Oh! Don’t kill me, sir!” “Tell me your name, boy!” he said, still holding me. “And show me where you live!” “My name’s Pip, sir. And I live in the village over there.” He picked me up and turned me upside down. A piece of old bread fell out of my pocket. He ate it like a dog. “So where are your parents?” he asked. “There, sir,” I answered, pointing to their graves. “What!” he cried, and wanted to run, when he saw where I was pointing. “Oh!” he said. “They’re dead. Well, who do you live with?” “With my sister, sir, wife of the blacksmith.” “Blacksmith, you say?” And he looked down at his leg. Then he held me and looked down into my eyes. “Now look here. You bring me a file and some food to me tomorrow morning. If you don’t, or if you tell anyone about me, I’ll cut your heart out.” “I promise I’ll do it, sir,” my body was shaking. “You see,” he continued, “I travel with a friend, who likes eating boys’ hearts. Wherever you are, we’ll find you.” As soon as he turned, I ran home as fast as I could. —Taken from Great Expectations 37. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 1? A.

Humans have feelings, and guess what? ____42____ A new study says plants can sense their environment and answer to stress, just like animals. Scientists used a machine to watch plants’ reactions when they were treated in different ways. ____43____ When people watered a plant, the machine drew smooth, calm lines. It showed a calm reaction, just like how people feel when they relax. But when someone shook the plant or blew smoke near it, the lines became sharp and shaky. This shows plants might “feel” stress! ____44____ A scientist acted meanly—he pretended (假装) to cut leaves with scissors. The machine’s lines jumped wildly as he came near! However, when other scientists walked past the same plant, the machine stayed quiet. It seemed the plant only reacted to the “dangerous” person! Another experiment tested if plants care about other living things. Live fish were dropped into hot water nearby. Surprisingly, the machine recorded strong reactions right away, as if the plants sensed the pain of dying animals. ____45____ But how do plants “feel”? They don’t have brains, but their cells can send tiny signals when touched. For example, if you tickle a plant’s roots, its leaves might curl up! So what can we do? ____46____ One gardener said her flowers bloomed brighter when she played soft music. Though we don’t fully understand plants yet, treating them with care is always a good idea. A. Plants might too! B. Sing to your plants! C. The most exciting test was about danger. D. The machine recorded how the plants changed. E. Plants given kind words grow 20% taller than silent ones. F.
