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.

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 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.

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. 【答案】11. B 12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项针对猫记忆力的科学实验，证实了猫具有良好的短期记忆，并引用专家的观点探讨了未来在该领域的研究方向。 【11题详解】 文章第一段第一句提到：“Do you wonder how smart your pet cat is, especially when it comes to remembering things?”。作者通过向读者提出一个关于猫是否聪明的问题来开启全文，旨在引发读者的好奇心与思考。 【12题详解】 文章第二段指出实验对象的特征：“…did an experiment with 50 friendly house cats…and they all loved tasty food.”。文中明确提到了这些猫是友好的（①）、是家猫（③）且喜爱美味的食物（④）。因此①③④表述正确。 【13题详解】 文章第三段详细描述了实验的过程：“In the experiment, the scientists put four bowls…After they finished eating, the scientists took them out…Fifteen minutes later…Then the cats went back…”。这些细节具体展示了科学家是如何一步步操作实验并观察猫的行为的，即实验的具体步骤。 【14题详解】 文章第四段第一句提到：“This tells us cats can remember ‘what’ and ‘where’.”。根据上下文逻辑，此处的“This”指代的是上一段观察到的实验现象及结论，即猫在碗被清空后依然能准确回到之前有食物的碗旁边这一发现。 【15题详解】 文章最后一段引用了教授的话：“We will keep studying how long cats’ memories last and if they remember many small things…”。从“将继续研究”这一表述可以推断出，教授认为目前对猫记忆力的了解还不够全面，科学家们还需要进行更多的研究。 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. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. D 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了书写工具的发展历史，从毛笔、芦苇笔、自来水笔再到圆珠笔，体现了书写工具的演变与创新。 【16题详解】 前文介绍了1884年人们发明了自来水笔，后文应对自来水笔进行简单介绍。E选项“Many people liked them at first, but they did not work well and caused several problems.”意思是起初很多人喜欢它们，但它们不好用，还引发了不少问题，承接上文对自来水笔的发明介绍，自然引出下文的问题。 【17题详解】 前文提到Biro注意到报纸用的墨水干得快、不会弄脏纸张的特点，后文转折说明这种黏稠的墨水无法适配普通笔尖。A选项“He wanted to make a pen using this kind of ink.”意思是他想用这种墨水制作一支笔，承接前文对墨水特性的观察，引出后文他尝试改造笔尖的创新过程，符合叙事逻辑。 【18题详解】 前文介绍Biro在笔尖设计了一个小球，后文描述了小球滚动带墨、停笔封墨的工作原理。D选项说这个小球既接触笔内的墨水，也接触纸张，解释了小球的作用，衔接了前后文。 【19题详解】 后文介绍了圆珠笔书写速度快、不易晕染的优点，B选项“Today, many people use ballpoint pens every day.”，先点明圆珠笔的普及现状，再引出后文，符合段落的表达逻辑。 【20题详解】 最后一句说你会发现那个创造奇迹的小球，所以前文应该是引导读者观察小球，所以C选项符合文章的结尾逻辑。 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.
