School was not _11_ for her, especially when it came to reading lessons. She often studied late and did her best to practice reading. _12_ she put a lot of effort into reading, she often felt like she couldn't keep up with her classmates. She was shy and _13_ turned to others for help in class. But recently, something unexpected happened that changed her whole world. While Sophia was out of the classroom to borrow a book from the library, her teacher, Mrs. Miller, and the "Kindness Squad," a group of kind students, started a _14_ plan. They took colourful sticky notes and ran to Sophia's desk. They wrote words like "You are a star!", "Hard worker here!", and "Your reading is _15_ so much. Keep on doing it!" Each note carried care and belief in Sophia. When Sophia _16_, she was surprised. Everything looked so different. She could _17_ take her seat! About 50 bright notes _18_ her desk and chair.

Recently, a paralyzed (瘫痪的) student had a chip (芯片) put inside his brain. The chip can record brain signals and send them to a computer. With it, he can control the computer without using his hands! But of course, there are two sides to every story. Let's hear what two students think. William If the chip works well, it would be a game changer for people with disabilities. For example, paralyzed people might be able to control their bodies again and live freely on their own. It could also help people without disabilities. Because the chip connects to the brain, it allows us to learn and remember information better. It also allows us to record our memories. As we get older, we may choose to store these memories in a system. Then we won't lose or forget them. Jessie So far, scientists know little about the problems this chip may bring. But the human brain is very sensitive (敏感的). Even a small mistake when putting in the chip could hurt it badly. And that harm could last forever. Another problem is privacy. If a chip can read your brain messages, someone might steal your personal information. They might use it to watch you or influence your choices. People could lose control over their thoughts and actions. 23. What can a paralyzed student do if a chip is put inside his brain? A. He will live freely like other people. B. He may control his body completely. C. He can control the computer without using his hands. D. He can record his brain signals and send them to a computer. 24. Which statement is TRUE according to William? A. People may steal others' privacy from the chip. B. The chip is only useful to people with disabilities. C. The lives of people with disabilities will be changed if the chip works well. D. The chip can help people to learn better without being connected to the brain. 25. What is Jessie's attitude (态度) towards putting chips inside the human brain? A. Hopeful. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Confident. B A new trend (潮流) is taking over TikTok. In many videos, young people are holding cups of hot water and eating warm bowls of porridge. What's going on? They are following a new trend called "Turning Chinese." This lifestyle is inspired (受…启发) by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Chinese people know it very well. But for many people in the West, these habits are completely new. Young people all over the world are now falling in love with these simple, healthy habits. So, what does it mean to "turn Chinese"? First, say goodbye to ice! Instead of ice-cold drinks, people are drinking warm water with honey (蜂蜜). They believe warm drinks are much gentler on the stomach. For breakfast, they choose warming foods like vegetable soup or cooked apples instead of cold milk. TikTok creator (博主) Emma Peng from China is excited to see this trend. She feels proud that her culture is helping others live better. On Chinese social media, many people online are also cheering for this trend. They see it as a bridge between different cultures. But it's not just about food. This trend is about respect. They do not just follow the habits without thinking. Instead of just copying, fans are asking questions like, "When is the best time to eat this?" They want to learn the true meaning behind the habits. "I am having so much fun with this!" one fan shares. It turns out that a special tradition from the East is exactly what the busy world needs. 26. Which of the following belongs to (属于) the "Turning Chinese" trend? A. Drinking iced cola every day. B. Having cold milk for breakfast. C. Drinking warm honey water. D. Eating ice cream after meals. 27. What else do the fans do when they follow the habits? A. They sell warm food on the Internet. B. They teach others to drink hot water. C. They learn the real meaning behind the habits. D. They make videos with Chinese people. 28. What is the best title of the passage? A. Healthy Food on TikTok B. Traditional Chinese Medicine C. Let's Learn about Chinese Culture D. A New Trend: "Turning Chinese" C Do you have to spell out W-A-L-K slowly so that your dog doesn't get too excited? Many dogs know the word "walk" very well and get really excited. Most dogs can learn a few key words, but some "genius" dogs are different. They are like sponges (海绵) for new words! A new study found that these gifted dogs could learn the name of a toy just by listening to people talking. In one test, a dog watched two humans talk about a new toy. One person showed the other a toy and talked about it. Later, the dog went into another room and picked that exact toy out of a big pile. What's even more amazing? These smart dogs can learn the name of a toy even if it is not seen. The dog first saw the new toy and then the owner dropped it in a box. While chatting, the owner looked at the place where the toy was hidden. The dog caught the simple sign and confidently picked the correct toy later. But don't feel bad if your pet isn't gifted. Most dogs just follow your body signs or the sound of your voice. They might not be able to tell a ball from a Frisbee (飞盘), and that's okay! By studying these rare, smart dogs, we learn about ourselves, too. Scientists believe that humans already knew how to understand each other's social signs even before we had language. As one scientist said, "Language was kind of hitchhiking (搭便车) on these social abilities." 29. Why does the writer mention "W-A-L-K" at the beginning of the passage? A. To tell readers how to spell English words correctly. B. To introduce dogs' ability to understand words and start the main topic. C. To explain why gifted dogs are very special. D. To prove that all dogs can learn many new words. 30. According to the passage, how can smart dogs learn the name of a toy? A. By spelling the toy's name with their owners. B. By playing with the toy many times. C. By catching simple social signs from their owners. D. By looking for toys in big piles without any signs. 31. What can we learn from the scientist's words in the last paragraph? A. Dogs understand human language better than people. B. Social abilities helped the development of human language. C. Human language has no connection with social abilities. D. Humans got social abilities after they had language. 32. Where is the passage most probably taken from? A. A travel guide. B. A science magazine. C. A sports newspaper. D. A storybook for kids. D We often consider the city a stressful place. Crowded streets, expensive housing, all kinds of pollution, and a weak sense of community are just a few reasons people may feel this way about city life. Because of this, many people dream of moving to the countryside for a slower pace of life and a closer connection to nature. But what if we look at cities in a new way—not as the opposite of nature, but as a new kind of nature? At first, this idea may sound strange, but it makes us ask two important questions: What is "nature"? And what is "city"? Many people think nature can be found only in mountains and forests. However, it can also be found in every corner of a city—along a riverbank, in a small park, on a balcony, or in the songs of birds in the trees. In fact, many of our city "neighbors" are animals. In Europe and North America, for example, squirrels are now more common in cities than in forests. As the dividing line between city and nature becomes blurred, some city designers suggest that we need to start seeing cities as ecosystems (生态系统) for all living things, not just humans. An ecosystem includes both living things (like humans, animals, and plants) and non-living things (like air, water, buildings, and roads). In such a system, everything is connected. Humans and other things share the same space, and our actions influence one another. When we design future cities, we should take every part of this ecosystem into consideration. Nature is not only "out there" in faraway places. It is also right here, beside us. If we treat the city as nature, we will stop asking where nature begins and start asking how to live better in it. 33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Nature only appears in mountains and forests. B. Squirrels are less common in European cities than in forests. C. An ecosystem only includes living things like animals and plants. D. Nature can also be found on a balcony or in a park in a city. 34. What does the underlined word "blurred" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Unclear. B. Strange. C. Clear. D. Straight. 35. What can we learn about the design of future cities from the passage? A. It should only consider human needs. B. It should treat cities as ecosystems for all living and non-living things. C. It should separate cities from nature completely. D. It should build fewer buildings and more forests. 36. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To list the environment problems of city life. B. To explain why forests have more animals than cities. C. To introduce a new way of seeing cities as a part of nature. D. To tell readers that everyone should move to the countryside. 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Since early this year, many cities have seen a new fashion: Hotels are getting fewer guests while camping is becoming popular. This "camping revolution" is changing how people travel today. Colorful tents now stand in many places. You can see them in parks, on beaches, and on hilltops. Along the West Lake, while many expensive hotels still keep their room prices high, their booking rates (预订率) have dropped. _37_ In some popular places, getting a tent is now harder than getting a hotel room. _38_ More cities now let people stay out for the night. They even offer special activities like outdoor movies. Camping doesn't just provide a place to sleep any more. It has turned into a special experience. It's now a mix of markets, music, sports, and learning about nature. There are many reasons why tents are becoming more popular than hotel rooms. Many tourists feel hotel prices are too-high. Camping is cheaper and gives people more freedom. Young people also want to be closer to nature. _39_ However, problems are rising, too. Some camping areas face rubbish piles and loud noise. They have no fire safety things or safe ways out. If the camping economy (经济) wants to grow, these problems must be solved. A. In fact, sleeping outdoors is sometimes dangerous, but challenging. B. This change is spreading because camping is no longer just a hobby. C. However, campgrounds with beautiful views are often full. D. As a result, people can't afford expensive hotels. E. There are also "wild camps" that can be dangerous for people. F. In this way, they can both save money and enjoy the views. 五、阅读短文,回答问题。前3题每题答案不超过10个词(共4小题,前3小题每题2分,第4小题3分,满分9分) Can a simple piece of paper hold something very heavy? A 14-year-old boy named Miles Wu has proved that it can! Miles has loved origami (the art of folding paper) since he was eight. He even tried to fold (折叠) a paper crane using a pizza box once. He loves making paper birds and insects. He even sold some of his works to raise money for charity. Last year, Miles entered a big science competition. He stayed up late many nights testing his ideas. He used a special way of folding paper called the Miura-Ori fold. This fold lets a large map open and close in one easy move. NASA uses this same idea to open solar panels (太阳能板) on satellites (卫星) in space. Miles wanted to use these folds to help people. He thought they could make strong and safe places for people who lose their homes. He set up a simple "lab" in his living room, and tested 54 different ways to fold paper. Although some tests failed, he never stopped trying new ways to make the paper stronger. Finally, he discovered one way of folding the paper that could support more than 10,000 times its own weight! His little brother even sat on it, and it didn't break. Miles said this was like putting 4,000 elephants on top of a taxi. Everyone at the competition was surprised by his unbelievable result. The judges (裁判) loved and praised his creativity and hard work. Miles won first prize and $25,000. Miles wants to keep exploring. "It is always worth following your curiosity. Don't be afraid to fail," he said, "because you don't know where it could lead you." 41. What has Miles Wu proved? 42. What special folding method did Miles use in the competition? 43. What happened when his little brother sat on the folded paper? 44. What can we learn from Miles? 六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Can a small soda can (罐头) save a family?

I still remember the big challenge in my growth. At first, I was not good at English. I found it hard to remember words and I was afraid to speak English. I felt upset and wanted to give up. Later, I made a plan to improve it. I read English every morning and took notes carefully in class. I also asked my teacher and classmates for help. Little by little, I made great progress. From this experience, I learned that nothing is impossible if I keep trying. Failure is part of growth, and we should believe in ourselves. 第 1 页 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
