Here are four unique events worth knowing. Dia de los Muertos (Mexico) Also known as “Day of the Dead”, this festival isn’t sad but a lively celebration of life and ancestors. Held on Nov 1–2, families build colorful altars with photos, food, and flowers to welcome the spirits of loved ones home. They dance, play music, and share special bread of the dead, creating a warm and respectful atmosphere that honors life rather than mourning loss. Songkran (Thailand) Thailand’s New Year is in April, celebrated with water festivals. People pour water on each other to wash away bad luck and welcome a clean new year. It’s a fun, joyful water fight across cities like Bangkok, drawing both locals and tourists to join in the lively street celebrations. Many also visit temples to give blessings (祝福). Harvest Festival (UK) In Britain, harvest festivals thank nature for food crops. Families gather in churches or villages in late autumn. They bring fruit, vegetables, and bread to decorate tables. People sing thankful songs and share delicious meals together, expressing gratitude for nature’s gifts and the hard work of farmers. Lantern Festival (China) A traditional Chinese festival ending the Spring Festival. It falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Families watch lanterns of all shapes and sizes. Children enjoy lantern riddles. The most popular food is tangyuan, sweet rice balls meaning family togetherness, carrying people’s best wishes for reunion and happiness in the new year. These festivals show how cultures celebrate and connect through joy and tradition. 21. What is special about Dia de los Muertos? A. It is held to celebrate the new year. B. It is mainly celebrated in churches. C. People fight with water to have fun. D. It is a happy celebration of life and ancestors. 22. Which festival is celebrated with water fights? A. Dia de los Muertos B. Songkran C. Harvest Festival D. Lantern Festival 23. What does “tangyuan” stand for? A. Good luck and health B. A good harvest C. Family togetherness D. Respect for the dead B In 1916, two young women from rich families in Auburn, New York, started an amazing journey far from their comfortable lives. Best friends Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood, both graduates of Smith College, chose to leave the comfort of their homes to teach in a faraway village in the Rocky Mountains. Their destination was Elkhead, Colorado, a wild area near Estes Park that was a two-day ride away from the nearest train station. The difference between their original lifestyles and their new surroundings was clear. The local children wore shoes fixed together with string and relied on lamps for light. The schoolhouse itself was a small house made of wood. It was only heated by an old stove (火炉), which could hardly drive away the winter cold. There was no running water, no electricity, and no modern tools to make their life easier. The two women were not discouraged by the hard conditions. They lived with local families, learned to cook simple food, rode horses to get daily supplies, and got used to a slower life unlike any they had known. In the one-room schoolhouse, they taught reading, writing, math, music and art. At first, the children were shy and afraid to talk. But soon, their shyness disappeared, and they became warm and grateful to their hard-working teachers, who helped them learn new things every day. After two years of hard teaching, Dorothy and Rosamond had to go back home. To show their deep thanks, the local people gave them a hand-made wooden chair. This beautiful gift is still a symbol of their good work. The letters they wrote home clearly described the difficulties, successes and special beauty of life in the Rockies. Later, these letters were published in magazines. Their stories interested people all over the country and encouraged many young people to become teachers in the countryside. In the end, Dorothy and Rosamond’s story tells us an important truth about courage and selflessness. It teaches us that true greatness is not about having a comfortable life or high social status (地位). Instead, it comes from the courage to help others, face difficulties bravely, and bring knowledge to even the farthest places in the world. 24. Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains? A. To enjoy the beautiful natural scenery. B. To visit their relatives living in the area. C. To take up a job in a countryside school. D. To carry out research on local wildlife. 25. What can we learn about the schoolhouse in Elkhead? A. It was a wooden house without basic modern facilities. B. It was a large building with several classrooms. C. It was fully provided with modern heating systems. D. It was located in a busy city close to public transport. 26. How did the local children respond to the two teachers at first? A. They took little interest in them. B. They felt much anger towards them. C. They showed great gratitude to them. D. They were too shy to speak to them. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. Wealthy people have a duty to help the poor. B. True virtue is expressed by selfless service to others. C. Education is the key to changing children’s lives. D. The countryside is badly in need of teachers from cities. C Toronto’s Kensington Market, a lively neighborhood in the heart of Toronto, is a living museum of cultural diversity that has developed over more than a century. Founded in the late 1800s as a Jewish immigrant community, the market has grown into a famous global melting pot where dozens of different cultures coexist peacefully, creating a unique and charming urban landscape that fully shows Canada’s core multicultural identity. Walking through its narrow, tree-lined streets, visitors experience a rich sensory feast of global cultures. Portuguese bakeries sell warm, fresh pastries (糕点) next to lively Caribbean jerk chicken stands, while Vietnamese noodle shops sit closely next to real Mexican taquerias and cozy Ethiopian coffee houses. The air is filled with the rich aromas (香气) of mixed spices (香料) from around the world, and the soft sounds of multiple languages — English, Spanish, Mandarin, and various other dialects — create a warm constant background of lively cultural exchange. Local vendors sell unique handmade goods, from delicate Indigenous (本土的) art to soft South Asian textiles, fully celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Toronto’s diverse communities. Beyond its tasty food and shops, Kensington Market is an important cultural centre for various community events and festivals. The annual Kensington Market Festival of Lights turns the streets into a shining, lively celebration of art and culture, attracting passionate performers and curious visitors from every cultural background. The market also hosts colorful cultural fairs, lively music festivals, and intercultural (跨文化的) workshops that fully show the unique traditions of different immigrant groups, from grand Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations to meaningful Mexican Day of the Dead events. These gatherings not only preserve precious cultural heritage well but also effectively promote mutual understanding and close connection between different communities. Today, Kensington Market remains a powerful symbol of how diverse cultures can develop well together in great harmony. It serves as an important reminder that cultural diversity is not a dividing obstacle, but a valuable source of strength, creativity, and development for a modern city. As a key part of Toronto’s well-known multicultural identity, it stands as a powerful example of how different cultures can perfectly mix, actively adapt, and grow together, creating a richer, more tolerant and open-minded society for all people. 28. What can be learned about Kensington Market? A. It was first built as a modern tourist center. B. It was started by Jewish immigrants long ago. C. It has been developing for less than 100 years. D. It is a real museum with old cultural relics. 29. What can visitors experience in Kensington Market? A. Quiet streets without any sounds or smells. B. Foods, languages and goods from different cultures. C. Only European foods and traditional artworks. D. Free meals provided by local shopkeepers. 30. Why are the community events in Kensington Market mentioned? A. To compare different cultural festivals around the world. B. To explain why the market is a popular tourist attraction. C. To introduce the history of immigration to Canada. D. To show how cultural diversity is celebrated and shared. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. Immigrant communities should preserve their own traditions. B. Toronto is the most multicultural city in the world. C. Kensington Market is a symbol of cultural diversity and harmony. D. Cultural diversity brings challenges to modern cities. D The Cost of Space Junk Space exploration has brought humans great achievements, from landing on the moon to sending rovers to Mars, but it has also left a worrying legacy (遗留问题) — space junk. These are man-made objects in orbit that no longer serve a useful purpose: old satellites, rocket stages and tiny pieces of debris (碎片) from collisions (碰撞) or explosions. Today, there are millions of such items orbiting Earth, and they are becoming a danger to active satellites and manned space flights. The problem is not new. As early as the 1970s, scientists warned that space could become full of waste if no action was taken. Yet for decades, countries and private companies treated space as a free and uncontrolled dump (垃圾场). Launching satellites was seen as a symbol of technological progress and national pride, with little thought given to the long-term costs of leaving debris behind. Now, the bad result of this short-sightedness is appearing. A single collision between two large pieces of junk could create thousands of new small pieces, starting a dangerous chain reaction called the Kessler Syndrome. This would soon make important orbits unusable, breaking global communications, weather forecasting, and essential GPS systems that people use every day. The economic loss would be big — trillions (万亿) of dollars, according to some guesses, affecting industries from transportation to agriculture. Worse, it could endanger future space missions, including those aimed at exploring other planets and even building human homes beyond Earth. Scientists have suggested many ways to solve this crisis-using large nets or powerful lasers (激光) to catch and remove small debris, while others are developing reusable spacecraft designed to collect old satellites. There are also calls for strict international rules to make satellite operators clean up their old machines after they stop working. But these efforts cost much money and require full global cooperation. Many countries are unwilling to pay for cleanup when they continue to benefit from the free use of space. This leads to a deeper question: What is the true value of space? Is it a limitless resource for short-term use, or a shared global heritage that must be protected for future generations? As private companies hurry to launch large groups of new satellites, the need for ethical (道德的) and sustainable exploration is more important than ever. We must balance today’s dreams with the needs of tomorrow, ensuring that space remains accessible for all humanity in the future. 32. What can we learn about space junk? A. It is mainly made up of natural space rocks. B. It refers to man-made objects no longer useful in space. C. It does little harm to working satellites. D. It has existed in space for only a short time. 33. Why did space junk become a serious problem? A. Space was treated as a free dump without rules. B. Launching satellites was too expensive. C. Scientists failed to predict the risk. D. Private companies produced too many satellites. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward space exploration? A. Critical of all private space projects. B. Concerned about sustainability and ethics. C. Optimistic about future solutions. D. Doubtful about international cooperation. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Future of Manned Space Flight B. Solutions to the Space Debris Crisis C. Space Junk: A Hidden Cost of Exploration D. The Value of International Cooperation 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。 Boxing (拳击) has been practiced for centuries — it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece. ____36____ Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life participate in the sport every week. But why? The answer lies in the physical, mental and even social benefits boxing can bring. Its help for our body is clear.

Dr. Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says that boxing can reduce anxiety and sadness.

Practicing boxing hits can be done alone, of course. ____39____ It also means working with others to train and stay safe. Dr. Gavin Williams, Senior Lecturer in Education at the Open University, says that this teamwork can create a sense of belonging. _____40_____ In short, boxing is more than just a sport.

But boxing is not just a one-person activity. C. So the teamwork can make our society peaceful. D. More recently, boxing has become popular in the UK. E.

Her parents struggled to make a living, so she still felt lucky they sent her to school. One day, on her way home, Adele slowed down after hearing beautiful sounds from the corner of the street. “Wow! It’s lovely!” she said as she went closer to a small art school. She struggled to peep (偷看) in and saw that it was a piano. For some reason, her eyes were filled with tears. She wished to play the instrument, but her parents couldn’t afford to send her there. Adele returned home with a heavy heart and couldn’t wait to pass by the art school again. She even pretended to press piano keys on the wall near her bed just like she was playing them for real. Seeing her do this, her parents were hurt but ignored it, because she was wishing for something beyond their means (钱财). The following afternoon, after class, Adele silently went to the place she had stood the previous day. Almost one hour later she walked away unwillingly. Her wish to play the piano grew stronger. Then as she crossed the street, she heard beautiful sound on the piano she’d never heard before. Curiously, she followed the sound and soon reached the doorstep of an old house. The door was open, so she invited herself into the house. “Hello… Is anybody in there?” she shouted. The music stopped at once. An elderly woman stood there, smiling. Her wrinkled skin and gray hair showed her aged beauty. “Come here, sweetheart! How can I help you?” she asked Adele. The girl was scared, but she approached the woman and after seeing her warm smile. “I’m Adele, and I was walking by your house when I heard someone playing the piano… It’s so beautiful!” she said. The woman then invited Adele to sit with her and began playing again. Soon, the girl was lost in the different classic melodies (旋律) that afternoon. At one point, Adele began to cry, and the elderly woman stopped playing. 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。 “What’s up, my child?

Here are four unique events worth knowing. Dia de los Muertos (Mexico) Also known as “Day of the Dead”, this festival isn’t sad but a lively celebration of life and ancestors. Held on Nov 1–2, families build colorful altars with photos, food, and flowers to welcome the spirits of loved ones home. They dance, play music, and share special bread of the dead, creating a warm and respectful atmosphere that honors life rather than mourning loss. Songkran (Thailand) Thailand’s New Year is in April, celebrated with water festivals. People pour water on each other to wash away bad luck and welcome a clean new year. It’s a fun, joyful water fight across cities like Bangkok, drawing both locals and tourists to join in the lively street celebrations. Many also visit temples to give blessings (祝福). Harvest Festival (UK) In Britain, harvest festivals thank nature for food crops. Families gather in churches or villages in late autumn. They bring fruit, vegetables, and bread to decorate tables. People sing thankful songs and share delicious meals together, expressing gratitude for nature’s gifts and the hard work of farmers. Lantern Festival (China) A traditional Chinese festival ending the Spring Festival. It falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Families watch lanterns of all shapes and sizes. Children enjoy lantern riddles. The most popular food is tangyuan, sweet rice balls meaning family togetherness, carrying people’s best wishes for reunion and happiness in the new year. These festivals show how cultures celebrate and connect through joy and tradition. 21. What is special about Dia de los Muertos? A. It is held to celebrate the new year. B. It is mainly celebrated in churches. C. People fight with water to have fun. D. It is a happy celebration of life and ancestors. 22. Which festival is celebrated with water fights? A. Dia de los Muertos B. Songkran C. Harvest Festival D. Lantern Festival 23. What does “tangyuan” stand for? A. Good luck and health B. A good harvest C. Family togetherness D. Respect for the dead 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了世界各地四个独特的文化节日及其庆祝方式。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dia de los Muertos (Mexico)部分中“Also known as “Day of the Dead”, this festival isn’t sad but a lively celebration of life and ancestors.(这个节日也被称为“亡灵节”，它并非悲伤的节日，而是一场充满活力的庆祝生命与祖先的活动)”可知，该节日的特别之处在于它是对生命和祖先的欢乐庆祝。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Songkran (Thailand)部分中“It’s a fun, joyful water fight across cities like Bangkok, drawing both locals and tourists to join in the lively street celebrations. Many also visit temples to give blessings (祝福).(这是一场在曼谷等城市举行的欢乐的水上大战，吸引了当地居民和游客一同参与热闹的街头庆祝活动。许多人还会前往寺庙祈求祝福)”可知，泼水节（Songkran）以水战的形式庆祝。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lantern Festival (China)部分第一段中“The most popular food is tangyuan, sweet rice balls meaning family togetherness, carrying people’s best wishes for reunion and happiness in the new year.(最受欢迎的食物是汤圆，这是一种甜米团，象征着家庭团圆，承载着人们对于新年里团聚和幸福的美好祝愿)”可知，汤圆（tangyuan）代表家庭团聚。 B In 1916, two young women from rich families in Auburn, New York, started an amazing journey far from their comfortable lives. Best friends Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood, both graduates of Smith College, chose to leave the comfort of their homes to teach in a faraway village in the Rocky Mountains. Their destination was Elkhead, Colorado, a wild area near Estes Park that was a two-day ride away from the nearest train station. The difference between their original lifestyles and their new surroundings was clear. The local children wore shoes fixed together with string and relied on lamps for light. The schoolhouse itself was a small house made of wood. It was only heated by an old stove (火炉), which could hardly drive away the winter cold. There was no running water, no electricity, and no modern tools to make their life easier. The two women were not discouraged by the hard conditions. They lived with local families, learned to cook simple food, rode horses to get daily supplies, and got used to a slower life unlike any they had known. In the one-room schoolhouse, they taught reading, writing, math, music and art. At first, the children were shy and afraid to talk. But soon, their shyness disappeared, and they became warm and grateful to their hard-working teachers, who helped them learn new things every day. After two years of hard teaching, Dorothy and Rosamond had to go back home. To show their deep thanks, the local people gave them a hand-made wooden chair. This beautiful gift is still a symbol of their good work. The letters they wrote home clearly described the difficulties, successes and special beauty of life in the Rockies. Later, these letters were published in magazines. Their stories interested people all over the country and encouraged many young people to become teachers in the countryside. In the end, Dorothy and Rosamond’s story tells us an important truth about courage and selflessness. It teaches us that true greatness is not about having a comfortable life or high social status (地位). Instead, it comes from the courage to help others, face difficulties bravely, and bring knowledge to even the farthest places in the world. 24. Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains? A. To enjoy the beautiful natural scenery. B. To visit their relatives living in the area. C. To take up a job in a countryside school. D. To carry out research on local wildlife. 25. What can we learn about the schoolhouse in Elkhead? A. It was a wooden house without basic modern facilities. B. It was a large building with several classrooms. C. It was fully provided with modern heating systems. D. It was located in a busy city close to public transport. 26. How did the local children respond to the two teachers at first? A. They took little interest in them. B. They felt much anger towards them. C. They showed great gratitude to them. D. They were too shy to speak to them. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. Wealthy people have a duty to help the poor. B. True virtue is expressed by selfless service to others. C. Education is the key to changing children’s lives. D. The countryside is badly in need of teachers from cities. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了来自纽约奥本富裕家庭的两位年轻女性多萝西·伍德拉夫和罗莎蒙德·安德伍德，放弃舒适生活，前往落基山脉偏远乡村支教的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Best friends Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood, both graduates of Smith College, chose to leave the comfort of their homes to teach in a faraway village in the Rocky Mountains. (最好的朋友多萝西·伍德拉夫和罗莎蒙德·安德伍德都是史密斯学院的毕业生，她们选择离开舒适的家，前往落基山脉一个偏远的村庄教书。)”可知，二人去往落基山脉是为了在乡村学校担任教师工作。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The schoolhouse itself was a small house made of wood. It was only heated by an old stove, which could hardly drive away the winter cold. There was no running water, no electricity, and no modern tools to make their life easier. (校舍本身是一间木制的小屋。只靠一个旧火炉取暖，几乎无法驱散冬天的寒冷。那里没有自来水，没有电，也没有现代化的工具来让她们的生活更轻松。)”可知，埃尔克黑德的校舍是一间木屋，没有基本的现代设施。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At first, the children were shy and afraid to talk. (起初，孩子们很害羞，不敢说话。)”可知，当地孩子一开始太过害羞，不敢和这两位老师交流。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end, Dorothy and Rosamond’s story tells us an important truth about courage and selflessness.It teaches us that true greatness is not about having a comfortable life or high social status.Instead, it comes from the courage to help others, face difficulties bravely, and bring knowledge to even the farthest places in the world. (最终，多萝西和罗莎蒙德的故事告诉我们一个关于勇气和无私的重要真理。它告诉我们，真正的伟大不在于拥有舒适的生活或崇高的社会地位。相反，它源于帮助他人、勇敢面对困难、将知识带到世界上最偏远地方的勇气。)”可知，这个故事告诉我们，真正的美德体现在无私地服务他人、奉献他人。 C Toronto’s Kensington Market, a lively neighborhood in the heart of Toronto, is a living museum of cultural diversity that has developed over more than a century. Founded in the late 1800s as a Jewish immigrant community, the market has grown into a famous global melting pot where dozens of different cultures coexist peacefully, creating a unique and charming urban landscape that fully shows Canada’s core multicultural identity. Walking through its narrow, tree-lined streets, visitors experience a rich sensory feast of global cultures. Portuguese bakeries sell warm, fresh pastries (糕点) next to lively Caribbean jerk chicken stands, while Vietnamese noodle shops sit closely next to real Mexican taquerias and cozy Ethiopian coffee houses. The air is filled with the rich aromas (香气) of mixed spices (香料) from around the world, and the soft sounds of multiple languages — English, Spanish, Mandarin, and various other dialects — create a warm constant background of lively cultural exchange. Local vendors sell unique handmade goods, from delicate Indigenous (本土的) art to soft South Asian textiles, fully celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Toronto’s diverse communities. Beyond its tasty food and shops, Kensington Market is an important cultural centre for various community events and festivals. The annual Kensington Market Festival of Lights turns the streets into a shining, lively celebration of art and culture, attracting passionate performers and curious visitors from every cultural background. The market also hosts colorful cultural fairs, lively music festivals, and intercultural (跨文化的) workshops that fully show the unique traditions of different immigrant groups, from grand Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations to meaningful Mexican Day of the Dead events. These gatherings not only preserve precious cultural heritage well but also effectively promote mutual understanding and close connection between different communities. Today, Kensington Market remains a powerful symbol of how diverse cultures can develop well together in great harmony. It serves as an important reminder that cultural diversity is not a dividing obstacle, but a valuable source of strength, creativity, and development for a modern city. As a key part of Toronto’s well-known multicultural identity, it stands as a powerful example of how different cultures can perfectly mix, actively adapt, and grow together, creating a richer, more tolerant and open-minded society for all people. 28. What can be learned about Kensington Market? A. It was first built as a modern tourist center. B. It was started by Jewish immigrants long ago. C. It has been developing for less than 100 years. D.

These are man-made objects in orbit that no longer serve a useful purpose: old satellites, rocket stages and tiny pieces of debris (碎片) from collisions (碰撞) or explosions. Today, there are millions of such items orbiting Earth, and they are becoming a danger to active satellites and manned space flights. The problem is not new. As early as the 1970s, scientists warned that space could become full of waste if no action was taken. Yet for decades, countries and private companies treated space as a free and uncontrolled dump (垃圾场). Launching satellites was seen as a symbol of technological progress and national pride, with little thought given to the long-term costs of leaving debris behind. Now, the bad result of this short-sightedness is appearing. A single collision between two large pieces of junk could create thousands of new small pieces, starting a dangerous chain reaction called the Kessler Syndrome. This would soon make important orbits unusable, breaking global communications, weather forecasting, and essential GPS systems that people use every day. The economic loss would be big — trillions (万亿) of dollars, according to some guesses, affecting industries from transportation to agriculture. Worse, it could endanger future space missions, including those aimed at exploring other planets and even building human homes beyond Earth. Scientists have suggested many ways to solve this crisis-using large nets or powerful lasers (激光) to catch and remove small debris, while others are developing reusable spacecraft designed to collect old satellites. There are also calls for strict international rules to make satellite operators clean up their old machines after they stop working. But these efforts cost much money and require full global cooperation. Many countries are unwilling to pay for cleanup when they continue to benefit from the free use of space. This leads to a deeper question: What is the true value of space? Is it a limitless resource for short-term use, or a shared global heritage that must be protected for future generations? As private companies hurry to launch large groups of new satellites, the need for ethical (道德的) and sustainable exploration is more important than ever. We must balance today’s dreams with the needs of tomorrow, ensuring that space remains accessible for all humanity in the future. 32. What can we learn about space junk? A. It is mainly made up of natural space rocks. B. It refers to man-made objects no longer useful in space. C. It does little harm to working satellites. D. It has existed in space for only a short time. 33. Why did space junk become a serious problem? A. Space was treated as a free dump without rules. B. Launching satellites was too expensive. C. Scientists failed to predict the risk. D. Private companies produced too many satellites. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward space exploration? A. Critical of all private space projects. B. Concerned about sustainability and ethics. C. Optimistic about future solutions. D. Doubtful about international cooperation. 35. What is the best title for the text? A.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文详细阐述了太空垃圾的定义、形成原因、潜在危害、治理办法及现实阻碍，最终呼吁以道德和可持续的理念开展太空探索，平衡当下需求与未来发展。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These are man-made objects in orbit that no longer serve a useful purpose: old satellites, rocket stages and tiny pieces of debris from collisions or explosions. (这些是轨道上不再有用的人造物体：旧卫星、火箭级和碰撞或爆炸产生的微小碎片。)”可知，太空垃圾指的是太空中不再有用的人造物体。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet for decades, countries and private companies treated space as a free and uncontrolled dump. Launching satellites was seen as a symbol of technological progress and national pride, with little thought given to the long-term costs of leaving debris behind. Now, the bad result of this short-sightedness is appearing. (然而几十年来，各国和私营企业把太空当作一个免费且无管制的垃圾场。发射卫星被视为技术进步和民族自豪感的象征，却很少考虑留下碎片的长期代价。如今，这种短视行为的不良后果正在显现。)”可知，太空垃圾成为严重问题的原因是太空被当作无管制的免费垃圾场。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文末“As private companies hurry to launch large groups of new satellites, the need for ethical and sustainable exploration is more important than ever. We must balance today’s dreams with the needs of tomorrow, ensuring that space remains accessible for all humanity in the future. (随着私营企业急于发射大量新卫星，对道德和可持续探索的需求比以往任何时候都更加重要。我们必须平衡当下的梦想与未来的需求，确保太空在未来仍能为全人类所用。)”可推断，作者对太空探索的态度是关注其道德性和可持续性。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“太空垃圾”展开，开篇点出太空探索带来成就的同时，也留下了太空垃圾这一代价，随后详细介绍太空垃圾的相关情况及治理困境，核心是阐述太空探索背后潜藏的太空垃圾代价。C选项“太空垃圾：探索背后的隐藏代价”最贴合全文主旨，适合用作标题。 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。 Boxing (拳击) has been practiced for centuries — it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece. ____36____ Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life participate in the sport every week. But why? The answer lies in the physical, mental and even social benefits boxing can bring. Its help for our body is clear. Whether it’s practicing with a hitting bag or facing another boxer, boxing can be a hard form of exercise and give a full-body workout. ____37____ And it can also increase anaerobic (无氧的) fitness — allowing someone to work out harder, for longer. These can, in turn, positively affect other aspects of physical well-being, like heart health and weight management. ____38____ Boxing can also positively affect someone’s mental well-being. Dr. Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says that boxing can reduce anxiety and sadness. Exercising regularly is already widely known to be good for mental health, but boxing can also bring a sense of focus. There is a third benefit to putting on boxing gloves (手套). Practicing boxing hits can be done alone, of course. ____39____ It also means working with others to train and stay safe. Dr. Gavin Williams, Senior Lecturer in Education at the Open University, says that this teamwork can create a sense of belonging. _____40_____ In short, boxing is more than just a sport. It’s good for your body, calms your mind, and helps you connect with others. No wonder it has been popular for so long and loved by so many people. A. It can improve our body strength. B. But boxing is not just a one-person activity. C. So the teamwork can make our society peaceful. D. More recently, boxing has become popular in the UK. E. Thus, boxing helps build deep connections with peers. F. The high demands of the sport aren’t just good for the body. G. It develops self-protecting skills and build confidence to protect oneself. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. F 39. B 40.

Her parents struggled to make a living, so she still felt lucky they sent her to school. One day, on her way home, Adele slowed down after hearing beautiful sounds from the corner of the street. “Wow! It’s lovely!” she said as she went closer to a small art school. She struggled to peep (偷看) in and saw that it was a piano. For some reason, her eyes were filled with tears. She wished to play the instrument, but her parents couldn’t afford to send her there. Adele returned home with a heavy heart and couldn’t wait to pass by the art school again. She even pretended to press piano keys on the wall near her bed just like she was playing them for real. Seeing her do this, her parents were hurt but ignored it, because she was wishing for something beyond their means (钱财). The following afternoon, after class, Adele silently went to the place she had stood the previous day. Almost one hour later she walked away unwillingly. Her wish to play the piano grew stronger. Then as she crossed the street, she heard beautiful sound on the piano she’d never heard before. Curiously, she followed the sound and soon reached the doorstep of an old house. The door was open, so she invited herself into the house. “Hello… Is anybody in there?” she shouted. The music stopped at once. An elderly woman stood there, smiling. Her wrinkled skin and gray hair showed her aged beauty. “Come here, sweetheart! How can I help you?” she asked Adele. The girl was scared, but she approached the woman and after seeing her warm smile. “I’m Adele, and I was walking by your house when I heard someone playing the piano… It’s so beautiful!” she said. The woman then invited Adele to sit with her and began playing again. Soon, the girl was lost in the different classic melodies (旋律) that afternoon. At one point, Adele began to cry, and the elderly woman stopped playing. 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。 “What’s up, my child?

Why are you upset?” She asked with worry. Adele told her about her passion for music. “It would take my parents their lifetime to bring one home,” Adele cried. The elderly woman comforted her and said, “I am leaving to live with my son, and I am looking for someone to keep the piano. Then you are the person.” The girl was shocked and couldn’t believe her ears. The elderly woman continued, “But you can have it only if you promise me to keep it safely, no matter what happened, will you?” Adele cried in joy and promised to keep the piano forever. Days later, Adele’s parents were shocked to see a piano inside. The girl explained her meeting with the elderly woman. The parents was so grateful, thinking her girl was really lucky. Although Adele didn’t know how to play the piano perfectly, she had a good start. For the following years, she took every chance to learn to play the piano and practiced hard. And she finally grew up as a well-known pianist. Though she had played on the most expensive pianos, the one in her house meant a lot to her! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，12岁的阿黛尔家庭贫困，父母努力维持生计，尽力送她去上学。在一次回家的路上，阿黛尔被艺术学校的钢琴声吸引，萌生了演奏钢琴的愿望，但是意识到父母无法负担她学钢琴，她心情非常沉重。父母看到了阿黛尔假装弹钢琴的样子，虽然伤心但是无法提供帮助。第二天阿黛尔再次路过艺术学校，在经过一所老房子时，她被飘来的钢琴声吸引，不由自主地进入了房子里。房子里的老妇人招呼了阿黛尔，邀请她一同坐在钢琴旁，然后继续演奏钢琴，突然阿黛尔哭了起来，老妇人停了下来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老妇人担心地问：“怎么了，孩子？你为什么不高兴？””可知，第一段可描写阿黛尔向老妇人袒露自己想学钢琴但家里无法负担的情况，老妇人决定把钢琴送给阿黛尔。 ②由第二段首句内容“阿黛尔高兴得叫了起来，并答应永远保留这架钢琴。”可知，第二段可描写阿黛尔一家非常感激老妇人，阿黛尔铭记老妇人苦练钢琴，成为优秀的钢琴家。 2.续写线索：老妇人询问——阿黛尔袒露实情——老妇人赠送钢琴——阿黛尔做出承诺——阿黛尔一家人感激——阿黛尔好好学钢琴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①安慰：comfort/console/solace/ease ②寻找：look for/search for/seek for ③保存：keep/preserve/take care of/look after ④承诺：promise/vow/swear ⑤解释：explain/describe/elucidate/expound/clarify ⑥认为：think/believe/suppose 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/amazed/startled ②感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] But you can have it only if you promise me to keep it safely, no matter what happened, will you?（only if引导条件状语从句和no matter what引导让步状语从句） [高分句型2] The parents was so grateful, thinking her girl was really lucky.（现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型3] Although Adele didn’t know how to play the piano perfectly, she had a good start.（Although引导让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
