B Most people celebrate their birthdays with cakes and candles. Betty Kellenberger from Michigan, the US, celebrated hers by making history. At the age of 80, she became the oldest woman to hike the whole Appalachian Trail (阿巴拉契亚小径) — an amazing 2,200-mile hike. Going up and down the trail is like climbing Mount Qomolangma 16 times. Kellenberger grew up on a farm. For many years, she dreamt of hiking the trail, but she never had the time for the six-month journey. Finally, she decided to start her journey in 2024. The journey was not easy. Along the way, Kellenberger faced many obstacles. She even had to stop halfway because of a strong storm. Determined to finish, she changed her plan and kept moving north in the spring of 2025. Before Kellenberger, Linda Vanderloop was the oldest woman to finish the hike at the age of 74. Kellenberger created a new record. But for Kellenberger, this was never about titles. “You hike alone, and you have time to think and enjoy the beautiful scenery,” she said. “________ These include the drivers, the hikers you share the trail with, and ... It’s all about the experiences along the way.” Thinking about her journey, Kellenberger shared some advice for anyone following her dream: “Life is a journey. It might be many small trips, or maybe your whole life is one trip. The harder you work, the more you get.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. How did Kellenberger celebrate her 80th birthday? A. By travelling to the US. B. By finishing a long hike. C. By climbing Mount Qomolangma. D. By having a cake with her friends. 7. Why did Kellenberger put off her hike for many years? A. Because she needed to take care of the farm. B. Because she was not strong enough to hike. C. Because she thought the hike was too hard. D. Because she did not have enough time. 8. What does the underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 3mean? A. Honours B. Difficulties. C. Chances. D. Records. 9. What’s the best sentence for “________” in Paragraph 4? A. And you can also take beautiful photos. B. But the long hike makes you feel tired easily. C. But what matters most is the people you meet. D. And remember to take enough water and food for the journey. 10. What is the text mainly about? A. A long hike’s challenges. B. Some ways to celebrate birthdays. C. Some advice on following dreams. D. An old woman’s special achievement. C Do you wonder how smart your pet cat is, especially when it comes to remembering things? A study gives us some surprising answers. Cats are not just clean and good at climbing — they are smart little animals with great memories! Scientists wanted to know how well cats can remember things, so they did an experiment (实验) with 50 friendly house cats. These cats were of different ages, from cute baby cats to calm old cats, and they all loved tasty food. In the experiment, the scientists put four bowls of the same type in a quiet room. Two bowls were full of the cats’ favorite snacks, and the other two were empty. Then the scientists let the cats into the room to eat. After they finished eating, the scientists took them out. Fifteen minutes later, the scientists changed all the bowls to clean, empty ones. Then the cats went back to the room to look for food. What happened next? The cats spent much more time around the bowls that had food before! They smelt the bowls with their little noses and touched them with their paws (爪子). This tells us cats can remember “what” and “where”. They seem to have good short-term memories. Another study in 2006, however, showed something quite different. Scientists tested (测试) cats’ ability to find hidden (隐藏) things. Most of the cats couldn’t find them after 30 seconds. The study opens the door to new studies on how long cats’ memories can be. Professor (教授) Lauri from Yale University said, “We will keep studying how long cats’ memories last and if they remember many small things in life like humans do.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question. C. By giving an example. D. By making a comparison. 12. What do we know about the cats in the experiment? ①They were friendly. ②They were old cats. ③They were house cats. ④They loved delicious food. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reason why scientists studied cats’ memories. B. The cats’ excellent senses of smell and touch. C. The results of the cats’ memory experiment. D. The steps of the cats’ memory experiment. 14. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The scientists’ plan. B. The cats’ favorite food. C. The experiment’s finding. D. The bowl with the most food. 15. What may Professor Lauri think about cats’ memories? A. Scientists already know a lot about them. B. Cats have the same memory ability as humans. C. Cats can remember things better than most animals. D. Scientists need to study more about them. D Writing tools are important things in our lives. Humans first used brushes for writing, and then reeds (芦苇) and feathers. In 1884, people created fountain pens (自来水笔). ____16____ One big problem was that the ink often came out of the pen and made a mess. Writing with them was hard work. In 1938, a Hungarian reporter named Ladislao Biro created the first ballpoint pen (圆珠笔). Biro noticed that newspaper ink dried fast and didn’t leave dirty marks on paper. ____17____ But that thick (黏稠的) ink couldn’t go through a normal pen tip. So, he tried something different. Biro put a small ball at the tip of the pen. ____18____ When people wrote with the pen, the ball rolled and carried ink onto the paper. When people stopped writing, the thick ink stayed inside and did not come out of the pen. ____19____ They help people write fast. And they won’t make a mess, even if water gets on the paper. ____20____ You will find the small ball that does all the work. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A. He wanted to make a pen using this kind of ink. B. Today, many people use ballpoint pens every day. C. The next time you pick up a ballpoint pen, look at the tip. D. The ball touched the ink inside and also touched the paper. E. Many people liked them at first, but they did not work well and caused several problems. 三、完型填空（15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 先通读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 Lupe was excellent.
