Have you seen circles, squares and triangles everywhere in your daily life? Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes.
Circles represent things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces. All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness.
Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy.
The angriest shape is the triangle. Kids who draw a monster with sharp teeth draw a row of triangles. That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. If you look at the evil guys in cartoons, you’ll find they’re all drawn with plenty of points and triangles. And triangles are stable, so in films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with.
These shapes are not only used in cartoons, but also used in other kinds of films. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like.
16. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving an example.

A. Cartoon characters in round shapes can be friendly and happy

I stood on the wide grassland of Kazakhstan. My heart raced as we prepared to open the transport crate. Inside were seven Przewalski’s horses. They were the last truly wild horses in the world, and we were about to bring them home.
My journey with these horses began years ago in a zoo. I remember looking into the eyes of a Przewalski’s horse named Hope. Her ancestors once ran freely across the land of Asia. But by the mid-20th century, hunting had nearly made them die out, only about 30 remained in zoos. Many believed they were already a memory of the past.
But we didn’t give up. An international team of scientists started a breeding program. We kept a detailed “family book” for every horse to ensure healthy future generations. Hope was one of the first healthy horses born under this program.
The real challenge was returning them to the wild. We chose the Golden Steppe in Kazakhstan similar to their ancient home. But getting them there was a difficult task. The journey took over 20 hours by air and road. We had to carefully use sedatives. Too much, they might not wake up properly; too little, they could panic and hurt themselves. I stayed by Hope’s crate the whole flight, speaking softly to her.
Now, the moment had come. As the crate door was lowered, Hope took a careful step forward, then she suddenly ran across the land she had never seen but somehow knew. As the second and third horses ran into the steppe, they turned back and looked at us as if to say, “Thank you.” Tears filled my eyes. We had not just saved a species. We had given a lost king of the grassland its crown back.
21. The author is probably a member of .
A. a local travel company B. a horse riding club C. a protection program D. a film group
22. What was the main purpose of the “family book”?
A. To record the numbers of horses. B. To ensure baby horses’ health.
C. To choose the best living places. D. To give each horse a special name.
23. The underlined word “sedatives” refers to .
A. special foods for long journeys B. medicines to keep calm
C. tools to listen to heart beats D. unique doors in the crate
24. From the last paragraph, what we did for the horses led to .
A. making them famous again B. returning their natural home
C. building a protected area D. getting back their health
25. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Future Program B. An Unexpected Choice C. The First Wild Horse D. The Long Journey Home

【导语】本文讲述在数字工具普及的当下,沟通方式虽发生巨大变化,但选择合适的沟通方式依旧至关重要,并通过Jason的经历和不同沟通场景,说明人际关系需要多样的连接方式,核心在于投入的关心而非工具本身。
【1题详解】
句意:相反,各类数字工具已成为日常生活的一部分,但找到恰当的连接方式依旧至关重要。
空前后为转折逻辑,数字工具普及却仍需重视合适的沟通方式,应用but。because表原因、or表选择、so表因果,均不符。
【2题详解】
句意:他们互相发送消息,可屏幕上的文字只会让事情变得更糟。
根据下文“Texting has no emotions,”可知,此处指互相发送消息,固定搭配send messages表示“发送消息”,故事为过去时态,应用sent。read(阅读)、wrote(书写,不强调发送动作)、received(接收)均不符合“互相传递消息” 的语义。
【3题详解】
句意:他不知道如何修复他们的友谊,直到他向一位教授寻求建议。
“he asked a professor for advice”表明他不知道如何修复他们的友谊,侧重解决问题的方法,应用how。why(为什么)、when(何时)、where(何地)均与“解决问题的方法”无关。
【4题详解】
句意:教授告诉他,面对面交谈通常效果最好,因为它能让人们看到彼此的表情,听到说话的语气。
“for it lets people see each other’s expressions and hear the tone of voice”可知,此处指面对面交谈通常效果最好,work此处意为“起作用、有效果”,work best表示“效果最佳”,应用works。ends(结束)、becomes(变成)、wants(想要)均不符合“沟通方式有效果” 的语义。
【5题详解】
句意:如果你无法立刻和你的朋友当面见面,打电话会比发消息是更好的选择。
“calling is a better choice than texting”表明“无法立刻和你的朋友当面见面”,can’t表示“无法、不能”,符合“无法当面沟通” 的前提逻辑,应用can’t。mustn’t(禁止)、needn’t(不必)、shouldn’t(不应该)均不符合逻辑。
【6题详解】
句意:有时,哪怕一通简短的电话,也能澄清那些需要花数小时在线解决的误解。
固定搭配clear up misunderstandings表示“消除误解”,贴合“沟通化解矛盾”的核心,应用misunderstandings。conversations(对话)、sentences(句子)、messages(消息)均不符合“澄清问题”的语义。
【7题详解】
句意:它能让人们清晰地梳理思路,避免说出失礼的话。
书写帮助整理想法,副词clearly修饰动词短语“organize their thoughts”,表示“清晰地整理思路”,应用clearly。carelessly(粗心地)、quietly(安静地)、silently(沉默地)均不符合语境。
【8题详解】
句意:无论你选择哪种方式沟通,都要谨慎措辞——它们既能建立关系,也能摧毁关系。
“…you choose to communicate”强调无论选择哪种方式沟通,Whatever引导让步状语从句,意为 “无论什么”;Whoever(无论谁)、Whenever(无论何时)、Wherever(无论何地)均与“沟通方式”无关。
【9题详解】
句意:有趣的是,现在的年轻人依赖数字设备进行沟通——和家人视频通话、和朋友发语音、工作用邮件。
年轻人习惯用数字工具开展各类沟通,depend on表示“依赖、依靠”,符合语境。look out(小心)、give up(放弃)、put off(推迟)均不符合语义。
【10题详解】
句意:他们已经明白,人际关系需要不同的连接方式。
上文例举多种连接方式,应用different。pleasant(愉快的)、direct(直接的)、advanced(先进的)均不符合“多种方式”的语义。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者参与普氏野马保护项目,从繁育到将最后一批真正的野生普氏野马放归哈萨克斯坦草原的漫长历程,传递了物种保护的意义与“归乡”的使命。
【21题详解】
原文第3段“An international team of scientists started a breeding program. We kept a detailed ‘family book’ for every horse to ensure healthy future generations.”,作者参与了普氏野马繁育、放归野外等核心保护工作,因此属于“保护项目”成员。
【22题详解】
原文第3段“We kept a detailed ‘family book’ for every horse to ensure healthy future generations.”,“家族簿”的直接目的是保障后代马匹的健康。
【23题详解】
原文第4段“Too much, they might not wake up properly; too little, they could panic and hurt themselves.”,sedatives的作用是让马匹在运输中保持镇定,剂量不当会导致无法苏醒或恐慌受伤,因此是 “让马匹保持镇定的药物”。
【24题详解】
原文第5段“Hope took a careful step forward, then she suddenly ran across the land she had never seen but somehow knew. As the second and third horses ran into the steppe…”,最终马匹成功跑出运输箱,回到了草原自然栖息地。
【25题详解】
原文第1段“we were about to bring them home”,第5段放归草原,全文贯穿“回家”的主线,文章核心是普氏野马从濒临灭绝、繁育到最终放归草原的漫长“回家之旅”,D选项最贴合主题。

This is because your brain is becoming more efficient.
Knowing another language doesn’t just help you talk to more people. ____28____ Some studies show that people who speak two languages are better at understanding how others feel. This is because they practise thinking about what others know and feel.

III. 语法填空(10分)
阅读短文,在空处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空,使短文通顺、连贯。(共10小题,每小题1分)
Sara K. is a big fan of wuxia, a classic Chinese storytelling genre full of fascinating adventures, honour and ____36____ (excite) martial arts. Wuxia combines two ideas: wu (martial acts) and xia (hero). These are not ordinary fighters. A true “xia” stands up for ____37____ right and helps those in need. ____38____ (explain) the idea, Sara gives a fun example. “Batman’s Chinese name is ‘The Bat Xia’ and Spiderman’s Chinese name is ‘The Spider Xia’,” she writes in ____39____ article for other non-Chinese readers.
“Any comparison between wuxia and non-Chinese fiction should not ____40____ (encourage),” she explains, “because wuxia ____41____ (begin) in the Chinese-speaking world.”
Wuxia connects ____42____ (close) with many parts of Chinese culture. It draws on history, medicine, nature, hopes and so on. Wuxia stories remain popular today. Some take place in real ____43____ (history) times, while others use a more imaginative “China-inspired” setting. Most wuxia stories take place in a world called jianghu, where swordsmen and wanderers live by ____44____ (they) own rules.
In the jianghu, strength matters—but character matters even more. It is in this world that wuxia ____45____ (hero) grow, struggle and learn what it really means to be heroic.
【答案】36. exciting
37. the 38. To explain
39. an 40. be encouraged
41. began 42. closely
43. historical
44. their 45. heroes
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了中国武侠(wuxia)文化的内涵、起源与文化关联,通过Sara K.的视角向非中文读者解释武侠的核心精神,展现武侠文化的独特魅力与价值。
【36题详解】
句意:Sara K.是一个武侠迷,武侠是充满迷人冒险、荣誉和令人兴奋的武术的中国经典故事体裁。修饰名词短语“martial arts”需要用形容词,excite对应的形容词形式exciting可用来描述事物“令人兴奋的”特征,符合此处语境。
【37题详解】
句意:真正的“侠”会为正义挺身而出,帮助有需要的人。right此处表示“正义、正当权益”,是特指概念,前面需要加定冠词the。
【38题详解】
句意:为了解释这个概念,Sara举了一个有趣的例子。此处用不定式“To explain”作目的状语,表示“为了解释”,句首首字母大写。
【39题详解】
句意:她在一篇面向其他非中文读者的文章中写道:“Batman的中文名叫‘蝙蝠侠’,Spiderman的中文名叫‘蜘蛛侠’。”article是可数名词单数,首次提及表泛指,且article以元音音素开头,故填an。
【40题详解】
句意:“武侠与非中文小说的任何比较都不应被鼓励,”她解释道,“因为武侠起源于汉语世界。”主语comparison和encourage之间是被动关系,情态动词should后需要用“be+过去分词”的被动结构。
【41题详解】
句意:“武侠与非中文小说的任何比较都不应被鼓励,”她解释道,“因为武侠起源于汉语世界。”句子陈述过去发生的起源事件,用一般过去时,动词begin的过去式是began。
【42题详解】
句意:武侠与中国文化的许多方面紧密相连。修饰动词connects需要用副词,close对应的副词形式closely表示“紧密地”,符合此处修饰动作的需求。
【43题详解】
句意:一些武侠故事发生在真实的历史时期,而另一些则使用更富想象力的“中国风”背景。修饰名词times需要用形容词,history对应的形容词形式historical表示 “历史的”,符合描述“历史时期”的需求。
【44题详解】
句意:大多数武侠故事发生在一个叫江湖的世界里,剑客和流浪者遵循他们自己的规则生活。修饰名词rules需要用形容词性物主代词,they对应的形容词性物主代词是their,表示“他们的”。
【45题详解】
句意:正是在这个世界里,武侠英雄们成长、奋斗,学习成为英雄的真正意义。谓语动词是grow,说明主语是复数概念,hero的复数形式是heroes。
