Read the passage and choose the best answer (阅读短文，选择最恰当的答案) (5分) Have you ever wondered why some people remember their dreams clearly while others forget them immediately after waking up? Scientists have been studying dreams for many years. They have found that everyone dreams, even if they don’t remember. During sleep, the brain goes through different stages. Most vivid dreams happen during a stage called REM (Rapid Eye Movement). In this stage, the eyes move quickly, the heart beats faster, and the brain becomes very active — almost as active as when you are awake. If you wake up during or right after REM sleep, you are likely to remember your dream. If you wake up later, the memory of the dream may fade away. Some people are called “high recallers” — they remember dreams almost every morning. Others are “low recallers” — they only remember dreams once or twice a month. A recent study found that high recallers wake up more often during the night. Each time they wake briefly, they have a chance to store the dream into long-term memory. Can you train yourself to remember more dreams? Yes. Experts suggest keeping a dream journal. Place a notebook and pen beside your bed. As soon as you wake up, write down everything you remember — even if it is just a feeling or a color. Do not move too much or think about your daily plans. Within a few weeks, you may notice that you recall more dreams. Dreams can be strange, fun, or even scary. But scientists say they are an important part of brain health. So next time you wake up from a dream, take a moment to remember it. You might learn something about yourself. 26. What does the underlined word “vivid” in Paragraph 2 most likely mean? A. Long and boring B. Clear and strong C. Short and strange D. Dark and silent 27. According to the passage, when are people most likely to remember a dream? A. When they sleep for more than 10 hours.  B. When they wake up during or right after REM sleep. C. When they drink coffee before sleeping.  D. When they dream about the same thing every night. 28. What is one difference between high recallers and low recallers? A. High recallers sleep longer.  B. High recallers wake up more often during the night. C. Low recallers have more vivid dreams.  D. Low recallers never dream at all. 29. What does the writer suggest doing to remember more dreams? A. Drinking water before bed.  B. Moving around immediately after waking up. C. Keeping a dream journal.  D. Taking a longer nap in the afternoon. 30. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain why dreams are always scary.  B. To teach people how to stop dreaming. C. To introduce scientific findings and tips about remembering dreams.  D. To compare dreams between children and adults. C.

Thanks to modern technology, we now know much more about it. Still, many questions remain ____31____. Scientists believe the Moon formed about 4.5 billion years ago when a Mars-sized object crashed into Earth. The debris (碎片) from this crash slowly came together to form the Moon. This theory explains why Moon rocks are ____32____ to Earth rocks in composition. The Moon has no air, no water, and no life. Its surface is covered with dust and craters (陨石坑).

No one has returned to the Moon since 1972. But that may ____34____ soon. Several countries, including China, the United States, and India, are planning new Moon missions. China’s Chang’e program has already successfully landed rovers and brought back samples. Why are we so interested in going back to the Moon? One reason is science. The Moon can tell us about the early history of our solar system. Another reason is resources. There may be water ice at the Moon’s poles.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (13分) In a small village in Kenya, a group of schoolgirls has invented a smart glove that can turn sign language into spoken words. The glove is connected to a mobile app. When the wearer makes a sign, sensors in the glove detect the movement. The app then speaks the word or sentence aloud. One of the inventors, 14-year-old Makena, got the idea from her younger brother. Her brother cannot hear or speak. He uses sign language to communicate, but most people in the village do not understand sign language. Makena wanted to help her brother talk to everyone. The girls spent six months working on the project. They learned how to use simple electronic parts, including flex sensors and a Bluetooth module. They connected these parts to a smartphone using a free coding platform. The total cost of the glove was less than 50 dollars. Testing the glove was not easy. The first few gloves did not work properly. Sometimes the sensors gave wrong signals. But the girls did not give up. They kept improving their design. After many trials, they made a glove that could recognize 20 different signs. Their teacher helped them enter a science competition. The glove won first prize. Now a technology company is interested in helping them develop the glove further. Makena hopes that one day the glove will be used in schools and hospitals across Africa. “Technology should help people connect,” Makena says. “My brother has so much to say. Now the world can finally hear him.” Task 1: Answer the following questions. 37. What can the smart glove do? ___________________________________________________________ 38. Who gave Makena the idea for the invention? ___________________________________________________________ 39. How long did the girls spend making the glove? ___________________________________________________________ 40. Did the glove work perfectly the first time? ___________________________________________________________ 41. Why does Makena hope the glove will be used in schools and hospitals? ___________________________________________________________ Task 2: 42. What qualities do you think helped the girls succeed?

V. Writing (15分) 参考范文 A Teamwork Experience I Remember Last term, our class took part in a school environmental protection activity. Each group needed to collect and sort waste on the playground. My group had four members. At first, we did not work well together. Some people picked up bottles, while others just walked around. Then we made a plan. One person held the bags, two collected different types of waste, and one recorded the numbers. We helped each other and finished quickly. Our group won a small prize. From this experience, I learned that teamwork is about sharing the work and communicating clearly. When everyone does their part, we can achieve more. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
