Round everything (Philippines) Filipino culture celebrates the New Year by serving twelve different fruits. Apples, melons, oranges, and grapes are popular picks, but any round fruit will do. The round produce stands for wealth for each month of the upcoming year. Locals also wear clothes with polka dots (圆点图案) on them and fill their pockets with round coins. Throwing paper out the window (Argentina) The pieces of coloured paper will fly through the streets of Buenos Aires around lunchtime on December 31. The reason behind the custom is that Argentinians throw out all their old documents and papers before the curtain (幕；帷幕) falls on the year to show they’re leaving the past behind. It’s hardly the most dangerous thing flying out of windows around the world on New Year’s, though — many other Latin American countries are fond of throwing buckets of water, while South Africans throw out their old tables, chairs, etc. onto the street from great heights. Breaking plates into pieces (Denmark) If you want to make a new Danish friend for the New Year, throw a plate against their door. The tradition is meant to bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead. Danes also jump off chairs to leap into the New Year, and stay glued to their TVs for Queen Margrethe’s yearly speech and a screening of black-and-white English language comedy Dinner for One (known in Denmark as The 90th Birthday), which is also popular in Germany. Eating grapes fast (Spain) In Spain, with 12 seconds remaining until the New Year, people eat 12 green grapes to bring good luck in the coming year. It’s considered to be bad luck if you can’t eat them all by the final midnight chime (钟声). Eat them down in time and 12 months of good luck will come your way. 21. How do people in Philippines celebrate the New Year? A. By wearing new clothes on the eve. B. By picking up twelve different kinds of fruits. C. By wishing for wealth in the upcoming year. D. By getting close to something round. 22. Why do Argentinians throw out their old documents and papers on December 31? A. Because it is not the most dangerous custom. B. Because the curtain will fall on the new year. C. To leave the past year and welcome the new year. D. To bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead. 23. What do the New Year celebrations of the four countries have in common? A. They are all traditional customs with good wishes for the coming year. B. They are all about eating special food to welcome the New Year. C. They are all popular around the whole world. D. They are all about throwing things to say goodbye to the past. B Jim Fullan is often mistaken as a player’s dad. Sometimes people even think he’s a coach. But the 57-year-old man is actually just part of the team. His return to the baseball field has been a lifelong dream. Fullan retired last year to reach his goal of playing college baseball. “I never took the opportunity to play in college or continue to try,” he says. “It was always on my mind.” Fullan applied to several Pennsylvania community colleges to get his degree and spoke to a couple of baseball coaches to learn about the programs. But they refused him. It wasn’t until he went to a few of the Montgomery County Community College Mustangs’ games last spring that he felt he found support. He introduced himself to the coaches and they accepted the idea of him becoming a special student and an athlete. Fullan showed up for the tryout last fall. The tryout made him anxious, particularly because he didn’t know how he was going to be received by his much younger teammates. There is truly a big age gap, but he immediately caught the attention of the young who admired his determination. With 25 players trying out, only 18 made the team. That total included Fullan. When not attending class, Fullan is putting in work on the field. He’s not using age as an excuse. He attends all of the daily three-hour practices from Monday to Friday. Fullan says it is a daily challenge to keep up with his younger teammates so he has to get to practice early before they arrive. Actually, Fullan is able to share his wealth of knowledge from his life experience with his teammates. This enables him to develop good relationships with the team. His story has been an inspiration to many away from the baseball field, including Kelly Dunbar, director of athletics at Montgomery County Community College. “I admire his courage to keep his dream alive,” she says, “because many people don’t do that these days.” 24. What can be learned about Fullan from the first two paragraphs? A. He hoped to re-experience college life. B. He taught young players after retirement. C. He tried to achieve a long-standing dream. D. He surprised others with his athletic abilities. 25. What made Fullan worried during his tryout? A. The difficulty of keeping focused. B. Serious competition among players. C. Uncertainty about teammates’ attitudes. D. The thought of making simple mistakes. 26. How does Fullan benefit his teammates with his participation? A. By providing job opportunities. B. By sharing his life wisdom. C. By driving training plans. D. By offering baseball skills. 27. What’s the best title of the text? A. An Old Coach Returns to the Field B. A Team’s New Member C. A Student Athlete in College D. A Lifelong Baseball Dream Comes True C In Washington, D.C., early in the morning, Stephanie Haley, a volunteer, is walking through the city’s downtown, looking for birds that might have collided (碰撞) with windows. On the sidewalk next to an office building, there is an olive-green songbird. It’s an Acadian flycatcher, no doubt on its way to Central or South America when it hit a window. This scene is repeated across the country. Each year, up to a billion birds are killed by window collisions in the US. Most of these birds are migrating, flying at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour when they hit the glass. For birds, glass — whether clear or reflective — presents a major danger, and this is especially true in cities, where buildings are full of glass. Each night during the migration season, hundreds of millions of birds take to the skies, flying through the night to take advantage of the evening’s cool and stable air. They navigate with the help of the moon and the stars, and come down in the morning to rest. That’s when they can meet glass, which they don’t know how to avoid. If it’s clear, they think they can fly through it. If it’s reflective, they can mistake the reflections for real trees and sky. These collisions happen mostly near the ground, not high in the air. The issue gained national attention after hundreds of birds died in one night at McCormick Place in Chicago in 2023. This event led to a meeting of experts, who formed the Bird collision Prevention Alliance. Their goal is to find better ways to protect birds from glass. In Chicago, using special films on windows can reduce bird collisions by up to 95%. Homeowners can also help by treating their windows. By taking small actions, like covering windows, people can reduce bird deaths at home. These efforts may not fix the problem entirely, but they are a step in the right direction for saving millions of birds. 28. Where does the volunteer find the Acadian flycatcher? A. At an office. B. On the driveway. C. At her house. D. On the sidewalk. 29. What is the main reason birds collide with windows? A. They are attracted to foods. B. They are confused by the lights. C. They fail to recognize glass. D. They fly too high while migrating. 30. How do the birds fly at night during the migration season? A. They use the moon and stars. B. They look for trees in the country. C. They follow the lights in cities. D. They turn to other animals for help. 31. Which best describes the act of applying special films to windows to save birds? A. Difficult.  B. Workable.  C. Pointless.  D. Expensive. D A recent research suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter. For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly. But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words. After carefully comparing the data from different papers, the researchers concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music. If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 32. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2? A. Reduce.  B. Improve.  C. Understand.  D. Influence. 33. What can we learn about the “Mozart Effect”? A. It is most likely to be ineffective. B. It was first presented by Mozart. C. It helps parents take good care of their children. D. It will draw more and more researchers’ attention. 34. What does the example in Paragraph 3 show? A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot. B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown. C. Listening to music fail to help kids in language learning. D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is controversial (有争议的). 35. What conclusion is made in the last paragraph? A. Music lessons should be encouraged for children. B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance. C. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort. D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying. 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Someone may find it difficult to learn history. 36 Of course, you need to study carefully in and out of the classroom. Whether you have a big test coming or you’re looking to improve your studying skills for history courses, there are a few things you can do to prepare. Organize your notes in time order. 37 Keeping that order in the notes that you take both in class and while reading will help you organize the information you receive. Always write down the date of events in your notes and try to keep things in order. Write down important information from your teacher and textbook. As the information is on the blackboard in front of you, you don’t want to take notes. 38 However, you’ll soon forget the facts and dates if you don’t write them down right away. The same goes on when you’re reading the texts. So, keep a notebook and aim to take at least 1 page of notes per chapter or 30 minutes of lecture. 39 Studying history can often feel like you’re memorizing many disconnected dates, names, and places. Avoid this by making the clear connections in the notes that you take. Then, when you’re preparing for a test, you’ll be able to draw on these connections and historical events. Ask your teacher about any information you didn’t understand. Sometimes students feel shy to ask their teacher questions, but there’s no reason to feel shy that way. If you’re confused about a point in the lecture or are struggling to remember any dates, names, or places, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher after class. 40 A. You can also send him an email that night. B. Therefore, it is useful to take notes in class. C. You may think it useless to take notes in class. D. Write down connections between the notes you take. E. In history, many events took place in a certain order. F. Make a visual map of historical events that you are studying. G. However, studying history can be very easy and even enjoyable. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I work as a university professor at an art school in Australia.

For as long as I could remember, I had been afraid of speaking in public. I would lower my head in class whenever the teacher asked questions, fearing that my voice would shake or I would say the wrong words. I always sat in the corner of the classroom, hiding myself from others’ attention, and never dared to take part in any class activities or school events. I was used to staying in my comfort zone, even though I knew I was missing chances to grow. My English teacher, Ms. Li, noticed my timidity (胆怯) soon after the school term began. She often smiled at me in class and called my name to answer simple questions, but I still spoke in a very low voice and avoided eye contact with others. One afternoon, after the English class, she asked me to stay in the classroom. Instead of pushing me hard, she sat beside me and talked gently. She told me that she used to be a shy girl too, and she understood how nervous I felt. “Growing up is never easy, but every small step out of your comfort zone will make you stronger,” she said softly. She then encouraged me to join the school’s English story-telling competition, saying it was a good chance to challenge myself. I was shocked and refused at once. The idea of standing on the stage in front of all the teachers and students made my heart beat wildly and my hands full of sweat. But Ms. Li didn’t give up. She promised to help me prepare for it, from choosing the story to practicing pronunciation and facial expressions. Looking at her warm and trusting eyes, I finally agreed, though my heart was filled with worry and fear. In the following two weeks, I practiced the story for half an hour every day after school. Ms. Li always stayed with me, patiently correcting my mistakes and cheering me up. Whenever I wanted to give up because of nervousness, she would encourage me to keep going. Slowly, I became more familiar with the story and felt less scared. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150词左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, the day of the story-telling competition came. _____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ That experience turned out to be a turning point in my high school life. _______________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
