Quality sleep is not just a period of rest; it is a critical component of the learning process itself. During sleep, especially during the deep and REM stages, our brain is incredibly active. It works to consolidate (巩固) memories, transferring new information and skills from the short-term hippocampus (海马体) to the long-term cortex (大脑皮层). This process is essential for creating stable memories that you can recall later during a test. Furthermore, a well-rested brain has improved attention, problem-solving abilities, and creativity. Lack of sleep, on the other hand, impairs your focus, slows your reaction time, and makes it harder to absorb new information the next day. Think of sleep not as lost study time, but as a powerful and free study tool. Prioritizing 7-9 hours of sleep is one of the most effective strategies you can adopt to boost your academic performance and overall cognitive (认知的) health. 根据短文选择正确答案。 26. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Staying up late is the best way to prepare for exams. B. Sleep plays a crucial role in learning and memory. C. The brain is completely inactive during sleep. D. Only young children need a lot of sleep. 27. According to the passage, what does the brain do during deep sleep? A. It consolidates memories by transferring them to long-term storage. B. It stops working completely to save energy. C. It focuses solely on dreaming. D. It prepares the body for physical activity. 28. How does lack of sleep affect learning? A. It improves problem-solving skills. B. It makes it easier to focus in class. C. It impairs attention and makes absorbing information harder. D. It has no significant effect on academic performance. 29. What does the author suggest about sleep? A. It is a waste of valuable study time. B. It is an optional activity for students. C. It is only important for physical health, not mental performance. D. It is a powerful tool for improving academic performance. 30. The word “impairs” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. improves B. weakens C. changes D. stimulates (B) Do you like pandas? Have you ever heard about giant panda Fu Bao? Here is some information about it. Fu Bao—the female cub (幼崽) was the first giant panda born in the Republic of Korea in July 2020 and a successful example of overseas breeding. Since the 1990s, China has sent giant pandas to 20 countries. There are 49 giant pandas abroad now. According to the agreement, overseas-born giant panda cubs will come back to China between the ages of 2 and 4. On April 3, 2024, giant panda Fu Bao arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport in Sichuan Province, returning from the Republic of Korea. Wei Rongping, deputy director of the giant panda center, said that when giant pandas abroad return to China, they have to adapt to (适应) a new environment, caregivers and food. In preparation for Fu Bao’s return, the giant panda center has set up a quarantine (检疫) area at the Wolong Shenshuping Base. During these days, a team of experts will help it adapt to its new living environment. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin stated at a news conference in January that since its birth, Fu Bao has been deeply loved by people and has played a positive role in developing the friendship between China and the Republic of Korea. 31. How does the writer start the passage? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving an example. C. By asking questions. D. By telling a story. 32. Where was Fu Bao born? A. In Chengdu. B. In the Republic of Korea. C. In China. D. In Wolong. 33. What does “agreement” mean in Chinese? A. 同意 B. 答应 C. 协议 D. 赞同 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. Fu Bao was the first successful example of overseas breeding. B. Fu Bao came back to Chengdu, Sichuan Province at the age of 2. C. Fu Bao adapted to the new environment quickly at the base. D. Fu Bao helped develop the friendship between China and the Republic of Korea. 35. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this passage? A. Art. B. Sports. C. Animals. D. History. (C) Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, clothes, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money. Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells (贝壳). Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks, monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa. The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. For example, the first coins in England were made of tin (锡) and the front of the coin was the head of the queen. Sweden and Russia used copper (铜) to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver. But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 36. Most of the money today is made of ________.

A. was first used in Europe B. was passed from Asia to China C. looked like a note used today D. looked like a stamp used today (D) Some people spend their whole life collecting books, building a library and sharing their stories with the public. One of these so-called “bookworms” in Sichuan, China has opened his own library that has about 35,000 books. 54-year-old Chen Guangwei, from Bazhong City in Sichuan Province, spent more than 15 years collecting books. With only a primary school education background, his biggest dream was to gain more knowledge. The books did not come easily. Chen makes a living by collecting waste, and has an annual (每年的) income of about 20 thousand yuan. He says he doesn’t know how much money and effort he’s put into collecting books. Chen rents (租) a basement near a school to keep them, and he has named it “Guangwei Library”. The library is open to the public. “There wasn’t a library here, so I wanted to build one and offer the service for free. Now the library has about 35 thousand books on many subjects including politics, military battles, diplomacy (外交) and economics,” Chen said. Chen is called a “bookworm” by people in his town. “Collecting books is like planting trees, and our descendants (后代) can enjoy the shade under the trees in the future,” Chen said. Chen said someone had come and tried to buy his collection for 3 million yuan. However, it’s hard for him to sell even one of his books. He prefers to put them to good use. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子正 (T)、误 (F)。 41. There are about 35,000 books in Chen Guangwei’s library. 42. Chen graduated from a university and his biggest dream was to gain more knowledge.   43. Chen makes a living by collecting waste and he never buys books. 44. Guangwei Library is open to the public and people can go and read books without money. 45. Someone has come and tried to buy Chen’s collection for 3 million yuan.

(F) My First Encounter with Digital Yuan With the rollout (推出) of China’s Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP), or digital yuan, I was curious to try it. Last week, I finally had my first experience using it at a convenience store. The process was surprisingly straightforward. I had already downloaded the “e-CNY” app and linked it to my bank account. At the checkout, I noticed a new QR code for digital yuan payments. I opened the app, selected the “pay” function, and scanned the store’s code. A quick confirmation with my password, and the payment was completed instantly. The cashier confirmed the receipt on their end. The entire process felt as fast as using Alipay or WeChat Pay. What felt different was the sense of security and sovereignty (主权) knowing this was an official legal tender (法定货币) issued by the People’s Bank of China, not a commercial platform. I also tried the “touch-and-pay” feature with another phone, which worked even without an Internet connection. This first-hand experience made the concept of a national digital currency feel real and accessible, marking a small but significant step into the future of money. 根据短文内容，回答问题。 51. What does DCEP stand for? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Where did the writer use the digital yuan for the first time? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 53. How did the writer pay with the digital yuan? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 54. What was one thing that felt different compared to using commercial payment apps? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. What feature allows payment without an Internet connection? ______________________________________________________________________________________ 三、语言运用 (共10分) Ⅳ. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适合的单词或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 (10分) 根据短文内容，在空白处填入合适的单词或用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。 Mark is a 16-year-old student.
