(作为波士顿唯一免费的当代艺术博物馆，它于2020年首次在马萨诸塞艺术与设计学院开放。)”第三段的“Founded in 1913”，第五段的“ It was established in 1998. ”和倒数第二段的“Founded in 1870”可知，MassArt Art Museum，2020年开放的这家博物馆是最新的，地址位于621 Huntington Ave.。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Harvard Museum of Natural History | 26 Oxford St.中的“Hours: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday(开放时间：周二至周日上午十点至下午四点)”以及“Don’t forget to check out the famous Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants, known as the “Glass Flowers”.(别忘了参观著名的韦尔奇布拉施卡玻璃植物模型藏品，被称作“玻璃花”。)”可知，周二中午可以观赏著名的玻璃花展品。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Museum of Fine Arts Boston | 465 Huntington Ave.中的“Hungry visitors can eat at several restaurants located inside the museum.(饥饿的游客可以在博物馆内的多家餐厅就餐。)”可知，波士顿美术博物馆的特色是可在馆内就餐。 B Ten years ago, Bipin Dhane, who had completed postgraduate studies at a well-known technical college, was working for a shipbuilding company in Singapore. He was paid well but wanted more. “I had sleepless nights,” he recalls. “I thought I wasn’t doing anything for the world.” So, Dhane quit his job and moved to Majuli, a remote island that needed a volunteer teacher for its school. His mother and father were shocked and couldn’t understand. “I was the first engineer from the family,” Dhane says. “My parents wanted me to work and earn.” Within a year, Dhane had impressed the islanders so much that they donated land, bamboo, and their labor to build a permanent place where he could teach their children. Dhane named it The Hummingbird-School, after an inspiring story about a hummingbird’s courage during a forest fire. While Dhane’s parents were initially sad and angry that he left his well-paid engineering career behind, they eventually realized the value of The Hummingbird School, and even shared some posts on social media. Founded in 2017, the school has about 300 students, from kindergarten through 10th grade. Ninety-five percent of them are from the Mising tribal (部落的 ) community. More than half attend for free because they can’t afford to pay school fees. Students learn all major subjects, but are also encouraged to get involved in the arts and to learn life skills through group projects. In a word, the students get plenty of scope to learn and explore, and the school is making a good impact on the community. Dhane says that most people think tribal education should be closely connected with vocational (职业的) skills. While The Hummingbird School does instruct students in gardening, bamboo craftwork, and knitting(编织), its focus is to offer high-quality education and to let them go to top colleges and become role models for their community. 4. Why did Dhane suffer sleeplessness? A. He struggled with studies. B. He longed for a pay rise. C. He overworked in a firm. D. He wanted a life of service. 5. How did Dhane’s parents feel at last? A. Upset. B. Grateful. C. Proud. D. Surprised. 6. What does the underlined phrase “plenty of scope” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Much insight. B. Many projects. C. A lot of opportunity. D. A series of events. 7. What is the key goal of the school courses? A. To train role models for the community. B. To empower students through education. C. To offer permanent resources to students. D. To improve vocational skills of students. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了工程师毕宾・达内放弃新加坡高薪工作，前往印度偏远的马久利岛创办蜂鸟学校，为当地部落儿童提供优质教育的感人故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Ten years ago, Bipin Dhane, who had completed postgraduate studies at a well-known technical college, was working for a shipbuilding company in Singapore. He was paid well but wanted more. “I had sleepless nights,” he recalls. “I thought I wasn’t doing anything for the world.”(十年前，毕宾·达内刚刚从一所知名的技术学院完成研究生学业，就在新加坡的一家造船公司工作。他薪水丰厚，但仍有更高的追求。“我常常失眠，”他回忆道，“我觉得自己并没有为世界做任何贡献。”)”可知，达内患上了失眠症是因为他渴望过一种能够服务他人、对社会有贡献的生活。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dhane named it The Hummingbird-School, after an inspiring story about a hummingbird’s courage during a forest fire. While Dhane’s parents were initially sad and angry that he left his well-paid engineering career behind, they eventually realized the value of The Hummingbird School, and even shared some posts on social media.( 达内将这个学校命名为“蜂鸟学校”，这个名字取自一个关于蜂鸟在森林大火中展现勇气的鼓舞人心的故事。虽然达内的父母起初因他放弃高薪的工程师工作而感到悲伤和愤怒，但最终他们也意识到了“蜂鸟学校”的价值，并在社交媒体上分享了一些相关内容。)”可推知，达内的父母最终为儿子的成就感到骄傲。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Students learn all major subjects, but are also encouraged to get involved in the arts and to learn life skills through group projects.( 学生们学习所有主要科目，同时也被鼓励参与艺术活动，并通过小组项目学习生活技能。)”以及划线短语句中“…and the school is making a good impact on the community.( ……而这所学校也对社区产生了良好的影响。)”可知，前文提到，学生不仅学习所有主要科目，还被鼓励参与艺术活动，并通过小组项目学习生活技能。由此可知，“plenty of scope to learn and explore”指的是学生有大量的学习和探索机会。C选项A lot of opportunity“很多机会”符合语境。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dhane says that most people think tribal education should be closely connected with vocational (职业的) skills. While The Hummingbird School does instruct students in gardening, bamboo craftwork, and knitting(编织), its focus is to offer high-quality education and to let them go to top colleges and become role models for their community.( 达内说，大多数人认为部落教育应该与职业技能紧密相连。而“蜂鸟学校”虽然会教授学生园艺、竹制品制作和编织等课程，但其重点在于提供高质量的教育，并让他们能够进入顶尖大学，并成为所在社区的榜样。)”可推知，学校课程的主要目标是通过教育增强学生的能力。 C How dark is the night sky where you live? If you’re in an urban area, the answer will likely be “not dark at all”. The spread of artificial light — be it in the form of streetlamps, billboards, screens or floodlights — keeps our cities bright long after most people have gone to bed. And it’s on the rise. In 2016, a group of scientists found that 83% of the world’s population and more than 99% of people in the US and Europe live under light-polluted skies. In 2023, some of the same scientists showed that the average night sky is getting brighter by 9.6% per year. This is equal to the sky brightness increasing by over four times for the duration of a childhood (18 years). And while it’s true that almost all light pollution is generated in urban areas, its effects extend beyond the streets. In discussions around light pollution, the switch to LED streetlamps is often mentioned as a contributing factor. The high efficiency and low cost of LEDs make them increasingly common on our urban roads for our safety. But if it’s pollution that we’re interested in, then it’s not these streetlamps that we should be talking about. Too much light at night is bad for everyone. In fact, most of the light polluting our night sky has nothing to do with safety on our roads and streets. It’s mostly about advertising and poorly mounted (安装) floodlights, and to a much, much lesser extent, people not closing their curtains. But there is good news. By using lights only when necessary, fixing downward-facing lights, and choosing energy-efficient lighting options, we can significantly reduce the amount of light that pollutes the night sky. Many communities have already launched“dark sky” initiatives to minimize light pollution and promote better lighting practices. Simple measures, like turning off unnecessary lights at night, can make a significant difference. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. The changes of sleep duration. B. The various sources of light pollution. C. The lack of livable urban areas. D. The widespread use of artificial light. 9. Why does the author mention LED streetlamps in paragraph 3? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To criticize them for pollution. C. To explain their effect on health. D. To promote them in urban areas. 10. What is the good news according to the author? A. Communities fix fewer lights. B. Light pollution can be reduced. C. People avoid lighting at night. D. There are energy-efficient lights. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Save the Night Sky B. Turn Off the Lights C. Future of Dark Nights D. Harm of Light Pollution 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍人造光泛滥造成光污染的严峻现状、污染成因，同时给出有效解决办法，呼吁人们守护暗夜天空。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The spread of artificial light — be it in the form of streetlamps, billboards, screens or floodlights — keeps our cities bright long after most people have gone to bed. And it’s on the rise. (人造光不断蔓延，无论是路灯、广告牌、电子屏幕还是泛光灯，都让城市在人们入睡后依旧明亮，且这种趋势还在上升。)”可知，第一段主要描述了人造光被广泛使用的现象。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In discussions around light pollution, the switch to LED streetlamps is often mentioned as a contributing factor.(在有关光污染的讨论中，改用LED路灯常被认为是诱因。)”以及“But if it’s pollution that we’re interested in, then it’s not these streetlamps that we should be talking about.( 但如果我们关注的是污染问题，那我们要讨论的就不该是这些路灯。)”可知，作者提及LED路灯是为了澄清人们的误解。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But there is good news. By using lights only when necessary, fixing downward-facing lights, and choosing energy-efficient lighting options, we can significantly reduce the amount of light that pollutes the night sky.(但有一个好消息，通过按需照明、安装向下照射的灯具以及选用节能照明设备，我们可以大幅减少夜空的光污染。)”可知，好消息是光污染能够通过人为方式得到减轻。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“The spread of artificial light — be it in the form of streetlamps, billboards, screens or floodlights — keeps our cities bright long after most people have gone to bed. And it’s on the rise.(人造光不断蔓延，无论是路灯、广告牌、电子屏幕还是泛光灯，都让城市在人们入睡后依旧明亮，且这种趋势还在上升。)”以及中间段落介绍污染现状与成因，最后给出减排措施、倡导守护暗夜可知，文章围绕光污染现状、危害、成因及治理办法展开，核心是呼吁守护暗夜天空，所以“Save the Night Sky(拯救夜空)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 D Older adults who regularly listen to or play music may significantly lower their risk of dementia (痴呆), according to a Monash University-led study. Researchers carried out experiments on over 10,800 older adults who were over the age of 70 to look at the benefits of listening to music or playing music. They found that always listening to music, compared with never/ rarely/ sometimes listening to music, was associated with an obvious decline in the risk of dementia. The study found that always listening to music was related to the greatest reduction in dementia risk, with a 39 per cent lower rate of dementia occurrence and 17 per cent lower rate of cognitive (认知的) decline, as well as higher scores in overall cognition and memory for everyday events. Playing an instrument was linked to a 35 per cent reduction in dementia risk, while regularly engaging in both music listening and playing contributed to a 33 per cent decreased risk of dementia and 22 per cent decreased risk of cognitive decline. According to Ms. Jaffa, a lead researcher, the findings of the study suggest music activities may be an accessible strategy for maintaining cognitive health in older adults, though the cause cannot be established. Population ageing has become a global public health concern. Progress in medicine and technology extends human lifespans(寿命), and this longer life expectancy has meant a rise in the occurrence rate of age-related diseases, including cognitive decline and dementia. With no cure currently available for dementia, the act of identifying strategies to help prevent or delay the beginning of the disease is critical. “Evidence suggests that brain ageing is not based merely on age and genes; people’s everyday surroundings and the way they live play a role. Our study suggests that lifestyle-based interventions, such as listening to and/or playing music can help prevent cognitive decline,” senior author Professor Ryan said. 12. Why were the experiments conducted? A. To find the origin of dementia. B. To assess older adults’ health care. C. To reduce the risks of diseases. D. To test effects of music on the aged. 13. How did the researchers draw their conclusions? A. By analyzing data. B. By listing cases. C. By comparing habits. D. By quoting opinions. 14. Why does population ageing raise public concern? A. Medical advances slow ageing greatly. B. More diseases threaten human lifespans. C. Longer lives increase age-related diseases. D. New technology fails to enhance life quality. 15. What do Professor Ryan’s words stress in the last paragraph? A. Genes are to blame for brain ageing. B. Musical treatment has unique effects. C. Lifestyle can influence cognitive health. D. Cognitive decline is difficult to prevent. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了莫纳什大学的一项研究，发现经常听音乐或演奏乐器能显著降低老年人患痴呆症和认知衰退的风险，为预防老年认知疾病提供了可行的生活方式干预方案。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Older adults who regularly listen to or play music may significantly lower their risk of dementia (痴呆), according to a Monash University-led study. Researchers carried out experiments on over 10,800older adults who were over the age of 70 to look at the benefits of listening to music or playing music.( 一项由莫纳什大学牵头开展的研究表明，经常听音乐或演奏音乐的老年人患痴呆症的风险可能会显著降低。研究人员对超过 10800 名年龄在 70 岁以上的老年人进行了实验，以探究听音乐或演奏音乐所带来的益处。)”可知，这些实验是为了测试音乐对老年人的影响而进行的。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The study found that always listening to music was related to the greatest reduction in dementia risk, with a 39 per cent lower rate of dementia occurrence and 17 per cent lower rate of cognitive (认知的)decline, as well as higher scores in overall cognition and memory for everyday events. Playing an instrument was linked to a 35 per cent reduction in dementia risk, while regularly engaging in both music listening and playing contributed to a 33 per cent decreased risk of dementia and 22 per cent decreased risk of cognitive decline.( 该研究发现，一直听音乐与痴呆症风险的降低幅度最大，痴呆症发生率降低了 39%，认知能力下降率降低了 17%，同时整体认知能力和对日常事件的记忆能力也有所提高。演奏乐器与痴呆症风险降低 35%有关，而同时进行音乐聆听和演奏则使痴呆症风险降低 33%，认知能力下降风险降低 22%。)”可推知，研究人员正是通过分析这些实验数据，得出了音乐与痴呆风险之间的关联。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Population ageing has become a global public health concern. Progress in medicine and technology extends human lifespans(寿命), and this longer life expectancy has meant a rise in the occurrence rate of age-related diseases, including cognitive decline and dementia.( 人口老龄化已成为全球性的公共卫生问题。医学和技术的进步延长了人类的寿命，而这一更长的寿命意味着与年龄相关的疾病（包括认知能力下降和痴呆症）的发生率有所上升。)”可知，人口老龄化会引发公众关注是因为更长的寿命导致了更多与年龄相关的疾病。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Evidence suggests that brain ageing is not based merely on age and genes; people’s everyday surroundings and the way they live play a role. Our study suggests that lifestyle-based interventions, such as listening to and/or playing music can help prevent cognitive decline,” senior author Professor Ryan said.( 有证据表明，大脑老化不仅仅取决于年龄和基因；人们日常所处的环境以及他们的生活方式也起着作用。我们的研究表明，基于生活方式的干预措施，比如聆听和/或演奏音乐，有助于预防认知能力下降。”资深作者瑞安教授说道。)”可推知，在最后一段里，瑞安教授的话强调了生活方式会影响认知健康。 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。 Training to Run a Marathon Participating in a marathon should be a fun, rewarding and safe experience. However, preparing for a marathon requires a lot of time, discipline and commitment. ____16____ Luckily, you can do something to get the most out of your marathon training. The surface you choose for running plays a significant role. The type of surface you run on can impact your training and, in some cases, contribute to injuries. Every runner has their own preference about running on what kind of surface. However, too hard or too soft surfaces can lead to injuries. ____17____ You must warm up and cool down. Warming up and cooling down should not be skipped. During a warm-up, you prepare your heart, lungs, and muscles for each training run. ____18____ As soon as you finish a workout or race, you should begin cooling down, which helps your body recover and prepares it for its next workout. Alternate (交替) easy and hard training days. ____19____ However, one basic principle that applies to all runners is to alternate easy days of training with hard days, which include long runs or speed work. For instance, you never want to run two hard days in a row, even if you recently missed a day of training. ·____20____ One important aspect of your marathon training is the last 21 days before the marathon. During this time, you should run less and rest a lot more by reducing your weekly and long run mileage (里程). This allows you to fully recover from the previous workouts and prepare for the actual marathon. A. Timing the training is recommended. B. Both have strengths and weaknesses. C. It can last anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes. D. You should reduce workout intensity before the race. E. Your individual training schedule depends on your level. F. This is especially true if you are running your first marathon. G. The safest ones are those that are reasonably smooth and level. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了马拉松训练的注意事项，包括跑步路面选择、热身放松、交替训练及赛前调整等实用建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“However, preparing for a marathon requires a lot of time, discipline and commitment.(然而，准备马拉松需要大量的时间、自律和投入)”以及下文“Luckily, you can do something to get the most out of your marathon training.(幸运的是，你可以做一些事情来充分利用你的马拉松训练)”可知，此处应衔接上文准备马拉松的难度，进一步强调其挑战性，F选项“This is especially true if you are running your first marathon.(如果你是第一次跑马拉松，情况尤其如此)”中的This指代上文提到的准备马拉松的高要求，引出下文的解决办法。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Every runner has their own preference about running on what kind of surface. However, too hard or too soft surfaces can lead to injuries.(每个跑步者对跑步的路面都有自己的偏好。然而，太硬或太软的路面都可能导致受伤)”可知，此处应承接上文的路面问题，给出安全路面的建议，G选项“The safest ones are those that are reasonably smooth and level.(最安全的路面是那些相当平坦且水平的路面)”明确安全路面的特征。 【18题详解】 根据上文“During a warm-up, you prepare your heart, lungs, and muscles for each training run.(在热身过程中，你为每次训练跑做好心脏、肺部和肌肉的准备)”可知，此处应补充热身的相关细节，C选项“It can last anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes.(它可以持续5到60分钟不等)”中的It指代上文的warm-up，说明热身的持续时间，衔接上文。 【19题详解】 根据下文“However, one basic principle that applies to all runners is to alternate easy days of training with hard days, which include long runs or speed work.(然而，适用于所有跑步者的一个基本原则是将轻松训练日与高强度训练日交替进行，高强度训练日包括长距离跑或速度训练)”可知，此处应与下文的“基本原则”形成转折，体现不同跑步者的训练差异，E选项“Your individual training schedule depends on your level.(你个人的训练计划取决于你的水平)”既说明训练计划的个体差异，又通过However衔接下文的通用原则。 【20题详解】 根据下文“One important aspect of your marathon training is the last 21 days before the marathon. During this time, you should run less and rest a lot more by reducing your weekly and long run mileage.(马拉松训练的一个重要方面是马拉松前的最后21天。在这段时间里，你应该减少跑步次数，多休息，减少每周的跑步里程和长距离跑步里程)”可知，此处应概括该段核心内容——赛前减少训练强度，D选项“You should reduce workout intensity before the race.(你应该在比赛前降低训练强度)”点明段落主旨。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up watching my mom criticize herself.

But instead of warmth and care, he faced immediate rejection: his mother turned away and never looked back. Newborn monkeys depend entirely on their mothers for survival, but Punch was left alone. Zookeepers tried to comfort him, but he cried ceaselessly, longing for a mother’s hug. In a creative move, they gave him an orangutan (红毛猩猩) toy from IKEA. Punch immediately hugged it and never let go. From that day on, the toy became his “mother”. As Punch grew, he had to face another challenge: integrating into other monkeys. Without a mother to guide and protect him, he became an easy target. Older monkeys often bullied him, pulling his hair, pushing him, and even dragging him across the ground. He would scream in pain and run back to his toy, holding it tightly. Yet, despite the constant rejection, Punch never gave up. Every day, he tried to approach the other monkeys, hoping for acceptance. Gradually, two gentle female monkeys, both around three years old, began to accept him. They played with him and sometimes scared away unfriendly monkeys. But they were not strong enough to fully protect him. Punch’s story spread quickly online. Millions of people watched videos of his daily struggles and cheered for his resilience (坚韧). Some even traveled to the zoo to see him. However, all the attention in the world couldn’t shelter him from the cruel reality of monkey society. Every day was a battle for survival, and every night he slept alone, holding his toy, dreaming of a place where he belonged. Seeing Punch’s daily suffering, head zookeeper Mr. Sato decided to try something unconventional. He placed Punch and his beloved toy near a gentle female monkey named Sakura, who had recently lost her own baby. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But for days, Sakura showed no interest in Punch, the little outsider. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, to Sato’s surprise, Sakura reached out and gently pulled Punch toward her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 But for days, Sakura showed no interest in Punch, the little outsider. She sat quietly in the corner, ignoring his attempts to approach. Punch, who had always relied on his toy for comfort, now clung to it even tighter, his eyes filled with hope and fear. The zookeepers watched anxiously, wondering if their plan would work. Despite Sakura’s indifference, Punch continued to try, day after day, hoping that one day she would accept him as her own. Two weeks later, to Sato’s surprise, Sakura reached out and gently pulled Punch toward her. It was a moment that everyone had been waiting for. Punch, who had never felt such warmth before, nestled close to Sakura, his toy still in his hand. From that day on, Sakura began to treat Punch like her own child, protecting him from the other monkeys and playing with him. Punch’s life changed completely; he finally had a mother who loved him and a place where he belonged. The zookeepers were overjoyed, knowing that their unconventional idea had given Punch a second chance at happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小猴子Punch为线索展开。Punch出生后遭母亲遗弃，只能与玩具为伴。成长中他遭其他猴子欺负，虽获两只母猴接纳却仍难获全面保护。其故事引关注，却难改残酷现实。见此，饲养员尝试让失去幼崽的母猴Sakura接纳他。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写Sakura连日来对外来小猴子Punch十分冷淡、刻意疏远，Punch主动靠近却被无视后的反应，同时描写饲养员们焦急观望、担心计划能否成功，庞奇日复一日坚持尝试，盼着被接纳。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写两周后Sakura主动接纳Punch的暖心瞬间，Punch感受到温暖依偎在Sakura身旁，之后Sakura像对待亲孩子一样守护、陪伴Punch，Punch从此拥有母爱与归宿，最后升华主旨：善意与坚持能打破隔阂，温暖可以治愈孤独、给予生命新的幸福。 2.续写线索：Sakura对Punch不感兴趣 —— Punch心怀期待坚持尝试 —— 饲养员焦急观望等待 —— 两周后Sakura主动接纳Punch —— Punch依偎感受温暖 —— Sakura悉心守护相伴 —— Punch获得母爱拥有归宿 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①忽视：ignore/neglect ②尝试接近：attempt to approach/try to get close to ③观看：watch/observe 情绪类 ①焦虑地：anxiously/with anxiety ②冷漠：indifference/coldness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Punch, who had always relied on his toy for comfort, now clung to it even tighter, his eyes filled with hope and fear.

B Ten years ago, Bipin Dhane, who had completed postgraduate studies at a well-known technical college, was working for a shipbuilding company in Singapore. He was paid well but wanted more. “I had sleepless nights,” he recalls. “I thought I wasn’t doing anything for the world.” So, Dhane quit his job and moved to Majuli, a remote island that needed a volunteer teacher for its school. His mother and father were shocked and couldn’t understand. “I was the first engineer from the family,” Dhane says. “My parents wanted me to work and earn.” Within a year, Dhane had impressed the islanders so much that they donated land, bamboo, and their labor to build a permanent place where he could teach their children. Dhane named it The Hummingbird-School, after an inspiring story about a hummingbird’s courage during a forest fire. While Dhane’s parents were initially sad and angry that he left his well-paid engineering career behind, they eventually realized the value of The Hummingbird School, and even shared some posts on social media. Founded in 2017, the school has about 300 students, from kindergarten through 10th grade. Ninety-five percent of them are from the Mising tribal (部落的 ) community. More than half attend for free because they can’t afford to pay school fees. Students learn all major subjects, but are also encouraged to get involved in the arts and to learn life skills through group projects. In a word, the students get plenty of scope to learn and explore, and the school is making a good impact on the community. Dhane says that most people think tribal education should be closely connected with vocational (职业的) skills. While The Hummingbird School does instruct students in gardening, bamboo craftwork, and knitting(编织), its focus is to offer high-quality education and to let them go to top colleges and become role models for their community. 4. Why did Dhane suffer sleeplessness? A. He struggled with studies. B. He longed for a pay rise. C. He overworked in a firm. D. He wanted a life of service. 5. How did Dhane’s parents feel at last? A. Upset. B. Grateful. C. Proud. D. Surprised. 6. What does the underlined phrase “plenty of scope” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Much insight. B. Many projects. C. A lot of opportunity. D. A series of events. 7. What is the key goal of the school courses? A. To train role models for the community. B. To empower students through education. C. To offer permanent resources to students. D. To improve vocational skills of students. C How dark is the night sky where you live? If you’re in an urban area, the answer will likely be “not dark at all”. The spread of artificial light — be it in the form of streetlamps, billboards, screens or floodlights — keeps our cities bright long after most people have gone to bed. And it’s on the rise. In 2016, a group of scientists found that 83% of the world’s population and more than 99% of people in the US and Europe live under light-polluted skies. In 2023, some of the same scientists showed that the average night sky is getting brighter by 9.6% per year. This is equal to the sky brightness increasing by over four times for the duration of a childhood (18 years). And while it’s true that almost all light pollution is generated in urban areas, its effects extend beyond the streets. In discussions around light pollution, the switch to LED streetlamps is often mentioned as a contributing factor. The high efficiency and low cost of LEDs make them increasingly common on our urban roads for our safety. But if it’s pollution that we’re interested in, then it’s not these streetlamps that we should be talking about. Too much light at night is bad for everyone. In fact, most of the light polluting our night sky has nothing to do with safety on our roads and streets. It’s mostly about advertising and poorly mounted (安装) floodlights, and to a much, much lesser extent, people not closing their curtains. But there is good news. By using lights only when necessary, fixing downward-facing lights, and choosing energy-efficient lighting options, we can significantly reduce the amount of light that pollutes the night sky. Many communities have already launched“dark sky” initiatives to minimize light pollution and promote better lighting practices. Simple measures, like turning off unnecessary lights at night, can make a significant difference. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. The changes of sleep duration. B. The various sources of light pollution. C. The lack of livable urban areas. D. The widespread use of artificial light. 9. Why does the author mention LED streetlamps in paragraph 3? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To criticize them for pollution. C. To explain their effect on health. D. To promote them in urban areas. 10. What is the good news according to the author? A. Communities fix fewer lights. B. Light pollution can be reduced. C. People avoid lighting at night. D. There are energy-efficient lights. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Save the Night Sky B. Turn Off the Lights C. Future of Dark Nights D. Harm of Light Pollution D Older adults who regularly listen to or play music may significantly lower their risk of dementia (痴呆), according to a Monash University-led study. Researchers carried out experiments on over 10,800 older adults who were over the age of 70 to look at the benefits of listening to music or playing music. They found that always listening to music, compared with never/ rarely/ sometimes listening to music, was associated with an obvious decline in the risk of dementia. The study found that always listening to music was related to the greatest reduction in dementia risk, with a 39 per cent lower rate of dementia occurrence and 17 per cent lower rate of cognitive (认知的) decline, as well as higher scores in overall cognition and memory for everyday events. Playing an instrument was linked to a 35 per cent reduction in dementia risk, while regularly engaging in both music listening and playing contributed to a 33 per cent decreased risk of dementia and 22 per cent decreased risk of cognitive decline. According to Ms. Jaffa, a lead researcher, the findings of the study suggest music activities may be an accessible strategy for maintaining cognitive health in older adults, though the cause cannot be established. Population ageing has become a global public health concern. Progress in medicine and technology extends human lifespans(寿命), and this longer life expectancy has meant a rise in the occurrence rate of age-related diseases, including cognitive decline and dementia. With no cure currently available for dementia, the act of identifying strategies to help prevent or delay the beginning of the disease is critical. “Evidence suggests that brain ageing is not based merely on age and genes; people’s everyday surroundings and the way they live play a role. Our study suggests that lifestyle-based interventions, such as listening to and/or playing music can help prevent cognitive decline,” senior author Professor Ryan said. 12. Why were the experiments conducted? A. To find the origin of dementia. B. To assess older adults’ health care. C. To reduce the risks of diseases. D. To test effects of music on the aged. 13. How did the researchers draw their conclusions? A. By analyzing data. B. By listing cases. C. By comparing habits. D. By quoting opinions. 14. Why does population ageing raise public concern? A. Medical advances slow ageing greatly. B. More diseases threaten human lifespans. C. Longer lives increase age-related diseases. D. New technology fails to enhance life quality. 15.

But instead of warmth and care, he faced immediate rejection: his mother turned away and never looked back. Newborn monkeys depend entirely on their mothers for survival, but Punch was left alone. Zookeepers tried to comfort him, but he cried ceaselessly, longing for a mother’s hug. In a creative move, they gave him an orangutan (红毛猩猩) toy from IKEA. Punch immediately hugged it and never let go. From that day on, the toy became his “mother”. As Punch grew, he had to face another challenge: integrating into other monkeys. Without a mother to guide and protect him, he became an easy target. Older monkeys often bullied him, pulling his hair, pushing him, and even dragging him across the ground. He would scream in pain and run back to his toy, holding it tightly. Yet, despite the constant rejection, Punch never gave up. Every day, he tried to approach the other monkeys, hoping for acceptance. Gradually, two gentle female monkeys, both around three years old, began to accept him. They played with him and sometimes scared away unfriendly monkeys. But they were not strong enough to fully protect him. Punch’s story spread quickly online. Millions of people watched videos of his daily struggles and cheered for his resilience (坚韧). Some even traveled to the zoo to see him. However, all the attention in the world couldn’t shelter him from the cruel reality of monkey society. Every day was a battle for survival, and every night he slept alone, holding his toy, dreaming of a place where he belonged. Seeing Punch’s daily suffering, head zookeeper Mr. Sato decided to try something unconventional. He placed Punch and his beloved toy near a gentle female monkey named Sakura, who had recently lost her own baby. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But for days, Sakura showed no interest in Punch, the little outsider. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, to Sato’s surprise, Sakura reached out and gently pulled Punch toward her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
