Why not try your daily life? A. against B. beyond C. except D. through 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——李老师，我能给你看看我为学校比赛写的诗吗？——这个主题超出了中学生的经历。为什么不试试你的日常生活呢？ against反对；beyond超出；except除了；through通过。根据答语后句建议尝试日常生活可知，原来的主题不适合，超出了中学生的经历范围。应填beyond。 2. —Lily, I saw a video of your little sister singing pop songs. Is that true? —Not really. AI learned her voice and then ________ the songs in the video. A. copied B. collected C. translated D. discussed 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——莉莉，我看到你妹妹唱流行歌的视频了。那是真的吗？——不完全是。人工智能学习了她的声音，然后在视频中复制了这些歌曲。 copied复制、模仿；collected收集；translated翻译；discussed讨论。根据答语“Not really”可知，妹妹并未真唱，结合“AI learned her voice”可知，是AI利用声音数据“复制了”演唱，应填copied。 3. If you are feeling that life just ________ be any worse for you, it will be challenging to think of something cheerful. A. mustn’t B. can’t C. shouldn’t D. needn’t 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你觉得生活对你来说不能再糟糕了，那么想些令人愉快的事情是很有挑战性的。 mustn’t禁止；can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该；needn’t不必。根据“life just...be any worse for you”可知此处表示生活不能再糟糕了，即非常糟糕，“can’t be+比较级”表示“不能再……了”，应填can’t。 4. —Have you heard of “health diary”? —Yes, it means a good habit that asks people to keep a ________ of their daily health information. A. record B. mark C. sign D. promise 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你听说过“健康日记”吗？——是的，它意味着一种好习惯，要求人们保持一份他们日常健康信息的记录。 record记录；mark标记；sign标志；promise承诺。根据“health diary”和“daily health information”可知，日记的作用是记录信息，keep a record of为固定搭配，意为“保持一份……的记录”。应填record。 5. —I’m thinking about learning to play the guitar, but I’m not sure if I have the talent. —________ talent matters, it’s not the most important thing. Just give it a try! A. Unless B. Since C. Though D. Until 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我在考虑学弹吉他，但我不确定我是否有天赋。——虽然天赋很重要，但它不是最重要的事情。试试吧！ Unless除非；Since既然；Though虽然；Until直到。根据“talent matters”与“it’s not the most important thing”可知，前后句意存在让步转折关系，尽管天赋重要，但不是最关键，应用Though引导让步状语从句。 6. Tom is writing the first part of a report on how to choose a hobby. Reading and sports are always popular, but there are other things to think about before picking a hobby.

Hobbies can help people make more friends easily. C. My best friend is the one who often goes hiking with me. D. Gardening is cheap and needs less space than many other hobbies. 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆正在写一篇关于如何选择爱好的报告的第一部分。阅读和运动总是很受欢迎，但在选择爱好之前还有其他事情要考虑。如果你喜欢安静的活动，集邮很容易开始且非常放松。许多户外活动，如徒步旅行，可以帮助你保持健康。 A.我喜欢在空闲时间读小说和诗歌。B.爱好可以帮助人们更容易地交到朋友。C.我最好的朋友是那个经常和我一起去徒步旅行的人。D.园艺便宜，比许多其他爱好需要更少的空间。题目主旨为选择爱好前需考虑不同因素，根据题干中列举的“stamp collecting is easy to start and very relaxing”和“Many kinds of outdoor activities, like hiking, can help you stay healthy.”以及选项可知，选项D提到园艺便宜且占地少，补充了选择一个爱好及具体的考量因素，与题干中“选择爱好之前还有其他事情要考虑”的逻辑一致，能支持该主题。选项A仅陈述了个人喜好，选项B提到了爱好的好处，选项C讲述了个人经历，三者均未体现“选择一个爱好前需要考虑其他事情”。 7. —Have you ________ finished your survey on community environmental protection? —Yes. I spent the whole weekend on it and it’s 100% done now. A. hardly B. mainly C. completely D. simply 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你完全完成关于社区环境保护的调查了吗？——是的。我花了整个周末在做它，现在100%完成了。 hardly几乎不；mainly主要地；completely完全地；simply简单地。根据答语“it’s 100% done now”可知，调查已经百分之百完成了，强调彻底完成，应用completely。 8. —The disease often ________ this season. Remember to let in fresh air. —Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind and wear a mask in crowded places. A. runs out B. carries out C. works out D. breaks out 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——疾病经常在这个季节爆发。记住要让新鲜空气进来。——谢谢！我会记住这一点，并且在拥挤的地方戴口罩。 runs out用完；carries out执行；works out锻炼；breaks out爆发。根据“The disease”以及后文提到的通风和戴口罩的建议，可知此处指疾病爆发，breaks out符合语境。 9.

B. It encourages people to keep trying for a higher goal. C. It tells us the Stork Tower is the tallest building in ancient China. D. It suggests that climbing a tower is the best way to enjoy the view. 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：王之涣的《登鹳雀楼》中名句“欲穷千里目，更上一层楼”的深层含义是什么？ 考查常识和习语。It highly praises how tall the Stork Tower is.它高度赞扬了鹳雀楼的高度；t encourages people to keep trying for a higher goal.它鼓励人们不断努力追求更高的目标；It tells us the Stork Tower is the tallest building in ancient China.它告诉我们鹳雀楼是中国古代最高的建筑；It suggests that climbing a tower is the best way to enjoy the view.它表明登楼是欣赏风景的最佳方式。根据诗句“欲穷千里目，更上一层楼”可知，其深层含义是要想看到更远的景色，就要登上更高的楼层，也就是鼓励人们不断努力追求更高的目标，而不是单纯赞扬楼的高度、说楼是最高的建筑或者表明登楼是欣赏风景的最佳方式。故选B。 10. —Would you mind showing me how to enter the computer system? —________. Just click here and type your student number. A. Of course. B. That’s right. C. Not at all. D.

Both my mom and dad came from large families with little more than the clothes on their backs. Their parents had also grown up with very little. When I was five, I showed an interest in machinery. By Grade 3, I was learning to program using the BASIC language. Then, one day in high school, my computer science teacher suggested that I attend a computer camp. He gave me a brochure (小册子), and I excitedly took it home. That excitement quickly disappeared when my mom saw the price of the camp: several hundred dollars. That evening, I went into my room and cried my eyes out. But a few weeks later, I got a phone call. It was the head of the computer camp telling me I had been admitted. I could hardly believe my ears. At that camp, I met many like-minded kids and learned how to build websites. It lit a fire in me. Ten years later, I received another call from the camp director. “I’ve found something I think you’ll want to see,” he said, suggesting we meet. When we did, he pulled out a long handwritten letter that my mom had sent when I was 15. She wrote that I was a smart kid. She talked a lot about my early love for machinery and computers. She ended by saying she couldn’t afford the cost of the computer camp and hoped with all her heart that they would still accept me. I broke down crying at once. Over the years, I continued to learn as much as I could. In 2014, I finally landed a job where I could use all my skills. Now, I’m proud to say that I’ve broken my family’s cycle of living poorly. And all I want to do now is to sit down with my mom and thank her for everything she has done for me. Without her, I would never have the bright life I have today. 29. What do we know from Paragraph 1 about the writer’s family? A. They lived a comfortable life for years. B. They moved to new places for work often. C. They had little money for a long time. D.

Why does the writer mention his mom’s letter? A. To show how much she supported him. B. To explain why the camp cost so much. C. To describe what he learned at the camp. D.

Excited → sad → surprised → thankful. C. Sure → upset → nervous → lonely. D. Nervous → relaxed → tired → worried. 【答案】29. C 30. D 31. A 32. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者出身于长期贫困的家庭，在母亲的支持和计算机营负责人的帮助下，抓住学习机会，最终打破家族贫困循环、实现人生逆袭，并感恩母亲付出的成长故事。 【29题详解】 对应第一段，文中提到“My family had a long-running cycle of growing up poor. Both my mom and dad came from large families with little more than the clothes on their backs. Their parents had also grown up with very little.”，可知作者的家族长期以来都很缺钱。 【30题详解】 对应第三段，前文提到作者因付不起夏令营费用而哭泣，后文提到“At that camp, I met many like-minded kids and learned how to build websites.”，说明作者成功参加了夏令营，因此“admitted”的意思是被接受、被录取。 【31题详解】 对应第四段，文中提到“She wrote that I was a smart kid. She talked a lot about my early love for machinery and computers. She ended by saying she couldn’t afford the cost of the computer camp and hoped with all her heart that they would still accept me.”信中母亲详细介绍了作者对计算机的热爱，并恳请夏令营录取作者，体现了母亲对作者的全力支持，因此作者提到这封信是为了展现母亲对自己的支持。 【32题详解】 对应全文，作者一开始拿到夏令营手册时很兴奋，看到价格后伤心哭泣，接到录取电话时十分惊讶，最后得知母亲写信的真相后充满感激，情绪变化为兴奋→悲伤→惊讶→感恩。 C Since the popular TV series Born to Be Alive was shown, a large number of viewers have shared their thoughts online. Many think it feels like watching a documentary, as the series is filmed against the beautiful landscapes of Qinghai and is based on real stories. Where Is Sanjiangyuan? In the south of Qinghai Province lies Sanjiangyuan, the meeting place of waters that give birth to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Lancang River. It provides around 60,000,000,000m3 of fresh water for eighteen provinces and five other countries every year, becoming an important water source for millions of people in China. This land is rich in not only its water but many rare animals. However, it was once in danger because of hunting. The number of Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) dropped quickly from about 200,000 to fewer than 20,000. Born to Be Alive shows the efforts made to protect these animals. Who Are the Guardians? Born to Be Alive tells the story of Bai Ju, a young policewoman who joins a mountain patrol (巡逻) team. Together with Duo Jie, she fights against illegal (非法的) hunting and mining (采矿) and works hard to build a nature reserve. The character Duo Jie is based on two real people: Jiesang Sonandajie and Qika Zabaduojie. They were pioneers of ecological (生态的) protection in Kekexili. In 1997, the first nature protection station in Kekexili was completed and put into use. Thanks to generations of protection efforts, there are now around 70,000 Tibetan antelopes. What Is the “Life Tree”? The answer is simple now. The “Life Tree” is Sanjiangyuan. The network of waters is like a tree of life. Seen from the air, the rivers spread out like branches and roots, forming a great trunk that holds the land together. Yet its meaning goes far beyond its shape. The patrol members are not only protecting Tibetan antelopes; they are guarding the animals and plants that depend on the area. After watching the series, many viewers continue to search for the real stories behind Qinghai’s ecological protection. The province, once taking no notice of the situation, is now drawing more attention across the country. Perhaps, through stories like this, more people will learn to listen to the heartbeat of the earth. 33. How does the writer lead into the topic about Sanjiangyuan? A. By showing the beauty of Qinghai Province. B. By introducing the popularity of the TV series. C. By explaining the meaning of the “Life Tree”. D. By telling the moving stories of the characters. 34. What do we know about Sanjiangyuan according to the passage? A. Its river system is like a huge tree of life. B. It is the only home of the Tibetan antelopes. C. It is located in the north of Qinghai Province. D. It provides most fresh water for all of China. 35. What is the main purpose of writing this passage? A. To explain what the “Life Tree” means to the living things on earth. B. To describe the natural beauty of Sanjiangyuan and its importance. C. To introduce the life stories of the people who protect Sanjiangyuan. D. To tell how a TV series raised people’s awareness of protecting nature. 36. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. Question → Example → Reason B. Fact → Problem → Result C. Introduction → Details → Conclusion D. Story → Comparison → Opinion 【答案】33. B 34. A 35. D 36. C 【解析】 【导语】本文通过电视剧《生而为人》（Born to Be Alive）引出三江源的生态保护故事，介绍了三江源的重要性、藏羚羊的保护历程，以及生态守护者的故事。 【33题详解】 文章开头通过介绍热门电视剧《Born to Be Alive》及其引发的观众讨论，引出了三江源的话题。 【34题详解】 根据“What Is the ‘Life Tree’?”部分，“The network of waters is like a tree of life. Seen from the air, the rivers spread out like branches and roots…”，可知三江源的水系像一棵巨大的生命之树，A选项表述正确。 【35题详解】 文章通过电视剧《Born to Be Alive》引出话题，介绍了三江源的生态保护故事，并在结尾指出该剧让更多人关注青海的生态保护，因此写作目的是讲述一部电视剧如何提高人们的自然保护意识。 【36题详解】 文章结构为：开头通过电视剧引入话题（Introduction）→ 分部分介绍三江源、守护者、生命之树的细节（Details）→ 结尾总结该剧的影响（Conclusion），符合“Introduction → Details → Conclusion”的结构。 D People hate mosquitoes due to their blood-sucking tendencies. Scientists, too, are troubled by mosquitoes and have been researching ways to keep them away. A team of researchers from Virginia Tech in the U.S. looked into different kinds of soap. They invited volunteers to test how four different soap flavors attract mosquitoes. After analyzing the mosquitoes’ behavior, the researchers discovered several chemicals in the soap that can influence the mosquitoes’ “choice of food”. Two chemicals, one with the smell of coconut and another with the scent (香味) of flowers, can keep mosquitoes away. The team also found that what matters to mosquitoes is not the chemicals, but rather the combination (混合) of chemicals with each person’s smell. For example, people who attract mosquitoes can be more attractive to them after using one type of soap. They can also repel (驱除) mosquitoes by using another kind of soap. “The findings were remarkable,” said senior author Clement Vinauger in a news release, adding that he would choose a coconut-scented soap to keep mosquitoes away. How these insects manage to find humans has also made scientists curious. According to a new study published in Current Biology, researchers built a “canteen” for hundreds of mosquitoes. In the 20-by-20-meter facility, there were six pads (垫子) that had the smell of different humans. The pads were heated to mimic (模仿) sleeping humans. They found that mosquitoes can track scents up to 60 meters. Also, mosquitoes are most attracted to a kind of chemical called carboxylic acid (羧酸), which is usually produced by bacteria on human skin. The smell of one participant wasn’t attractive to the insects, and researchers believed it was due to the person’s diet, which is mainly plant-based foods. By analyzing the chemicals that either attract or repel mosquitoes, scientists are able to improve mosquito repellent (驱蚊剂). With more studies, scientists believe changing a person’s diet could one day make them “mosquito-proof (防蚊的)”. 37. What did the researchers from Virginia Tech try to find out? A. How mosquitoes choose food in a right way. B. What soap scents can keep mosquitoes away. C. Why mosquitoes prefer certain soap flavors. D. What kind of people attract mosquitoes most. 38. What can we learn from the passage? A. Coconut-scented soap is the most useful in repelling mosquitoes. B. The number of chemicals in soap greatly affects mosquitoes’ sleep. C. The mix of chemicals and human smell influences mosquitoes’ behavior. D. Washing without soap is a useful way to keep mosquitoes away. 39. What do we know about carboxylic acid according to the passage? A. It is a chemical that helps keep mosquitoes away. B. It can be used to keep mosquitoes away. C. It helps mosquitoes attract other mosquitoes. D. It is present on human skin and attracts mosquitoes. 40. How could people make themselves mosquito-proof in the future according to scientists? A. By changing their genes. B. By eating certain foods. C. By using certain types of soap. D. By carrying mosquito repellent. 【答案】37. B 38. C 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】科学家研究发现，肥皂中的特定气味可驱蚊，而肥皂化学物质与人体气味的混合会影响蚊子的行为；改变饮食或使用特定肥皂有望实现防蚊。 【37题详解】 根据文章第二段“A team of researchers from Virginia Tech… looked into different kinds of soap. They invited volunteers to test how four different soap flavors attract mosquitoes.”以及第三段提到研究发现某些化学物质（如椰子味和花香）可以驱赶蚊子。可知研究人员试图找出什么肥皂气味可以帮助驱避蚊子。 【38题详解】 根据文章第四段“The team also found that what matters to mosquitoes is not the chemicals, but rather the combination of chemicals with each person's smell.”可知，化学物质与人体气味的混合会影响蚊子的行为。 【39题详解】 根据文章第六段“mosquitoes are most attracted to a kind of chemical called carboxylic acid, which is usually produced by bacteria on human skin.”可知，羧酸存在于人类皮肤上并且会吸引蚊子。选项D“It is present on human skin and attracts mosquitoes.”涵盖了位置和作用，最为准确。 【40题详解】 根据文章最后一段“With more studies, scientists believe changing a person's diet could one day make them 'mosquito-proof'.”可知，未来人们可以通过改变饮食（吃特定的食物）来防蚊。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “What do you think I should do?” asks your friend, as she sits beside you, waiting for your advice. This is no easy situation. Say something your friend disagrees with or something helpless, and you might feel you’ve disappointed her. It’s human nature to want to offer solutions when someone comes to you with a problem. It’s also easy to fall into the trap of simply saying that “Everything will be OK”. ____41____ But we often say that because we believe we need to say something. This is because we’re glad that our friend has come to us for help, even if we don’t really think we’re able to give it. So is it a good idea to try to give advice at all? ____42____ In fact, friends often really only want someone to listen to them. It’s important to try to work out whether they’re actually asking for advice, or simply wanting to talk over whatever is going round in their head. ____43____ There’s no harm in asking whether they’d like you to give suggestions. It’s also important to be honest. If you’re unable to think of a way to solve your friends’ problem, just say so. Your friends won’t feel upset, and you can still listen carefully and try to put yourself in their shoes. ____44____ You can ask yourself “What would I do if I were to experience the same thing?” Later you can go back to your friends with a few helpful suggestions. ____45____ It can be hard to listen to your friends going over and over the same thing without being able to help them. They will certainly be thankful if you just allow them to “talk it out”, though. Maybe they’re building up courage to take action, and need to convince (说服) themselves they’re doing the right thing. Just being there for them may be all you have to do to make things better. A. Friendship is the most important to us. B. This is not actually useful for your friend. C. The answer is yes if it’s done in the correct way. D. Sometimes a problem doesn’t go away overnight. E. Talking may make people feel better all by themselves. F. Then you can go away and try to think of something helpful. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. E 44. F 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了当朋友寻求建议时，如何正确地提供帮助，包括倾听、判断需求、诚实回应以及给予建议的合适时机。 【41题详解】 前文提到人们容易陷入说“一切都会好起来的”的误区，后文补充“但我们常这么说，因为觉得自己需要说点什么”。B选项“This is not actually useful for your friend.”承接前文“说‘一切都会好起来的’”的行为，点明这种说法对朋友并无实际帮助，为后文探讨正确的沟通方式做铺垫，逻辑连贯。 【42题详解】 前文以“那么，给出建议真的是个好主意吗？”提出疑问，后文开始介绍朋友求助时的真实需求。C选项“The answer is yes if it’s done in the correct way.”直接回答了前文的问题，说明只要方式正确，给出建议是可以的，引出后文对正确方式的介绍，符合上下文语境。 【43题详解】 前文提到“朋友们往往其实只是想要有人倾听他们……”，后文指出“询问他们是否需要建议也并无坏处”。E选项“Talking may make people feel better all by themselves.”（倾诉本身或许就能让人们感觉好一些）进一步补充说明了为什么“倾听”如此重要，解释了倾诉对朋友心理的积极作用，符合上下文语境。 【44题详解】 前文提到如果想不出解决朋友问题的方法，就直说，同时认真倾听、换位思考，后文补充“你可以问问自己‘如果我遇到同样的事会怎么做？’之后再带着有用的建议回去找朋友”。F选项“Then you can go away and try to think of something helpful.”承接前文“想不出办法就直说，先倾听”的建议，说明之后可以去思考有用的建议，符合上下文语境。 【45题详解】 后文提到“不间断地听朋友反复诉说同一件事，而自己又无法提供帮助，这确实很难做到”。D选项“Sometimes a problem doesn’t go away overnight.”（有时候问题不是一夜之间就能解决的）作为本段的过渡句，解释了为什么朋友会“反复诉说同一件事”（因为问题没能立即解决），为后文倾听者的心理难点做了铺垫，符合上下文语境。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 四、词汇运用（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，在空白处填入括号内单词的正确形式或时态，使短文通顺、连贯。 Have you ever seen beautiful artworks with bright colors that seem to tell stories of an ancient time?

It’s not about their titles or reputation. It’s energy, a kind of force that pulls people in, makes them want to help, stay, and believe. The difference between energy and ability is that ability can be taught, while energy must be developed. You can copy someone’s skills, but not their heart. You copy their methods, but miss the thing that makes those methods work—their inner state. Energy is built through intention (意图), character, and the way we treat others. High-energy people don’t just work hard—they believe, they uplift, they inspire. That’s what people remember, and that’s what they follow. People, events, and environments are always influencing one another. You draw into your lives what mirrors your inner state. If you’re open-hearted, the world answers in kind, but if you’re self-doubting, life starts to mirror that back at you. The energy you carry is what you send out. And what you attract is not accidental. Everything you experience is related to the energy you carry. As your inner alignment (一致) is improved, you’ll notice that certain people or problems quietly fall away. The right ones will find you. Your outer reality will catch up with your inner state. Basically, energy is where action, clearness, and creativity come from. When your energy is full, wisdom follows. You don’t have to force your way forward—life begins to answer in kind. So how do you raise your personal energy? Not through willpower, but through deep self-tending (自我维护). You raise your energy not by chasing more, but by throwing out what’s draining (耗尽) you. Are you always reacting to messages, or do you protect quiet time? Do your relationships make you more complete, or emptier? High-energy people are calm and quietly powerful. They build an inner life that’s energetic, stable (稳定的) and self-respecting. When you become a high-energy person, you stop chasing and start attracting. That quiet power is the force the world remembers. 66. What is the main difference between energy and ability? ___________________________________________ 67. How do people build their energy? ___________________________________________ 68. When does your wisdom come? ___________________________________________ 69. What are high-energy people like? (List two points.) ___________________________________________ 70. What will you do to raise your personal energy? (请自拟一句话作答) ___________________________________________ 【答案】66. Ability can be taught, while energy must be developed. 67. Energy is built through intention, character, and the way we treat others. 68. When my energy is full, wisdom comes. 69. They are calm and quietly powerful; They build an inner life that’s energetic, stable and self-respecting. 70. I will protect quiet time and throw out what’s draining me. （答案不唯一，合理即可） 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了能量与能力的区别，能量的构建方式，高能量人的特征以及如何提升个人能量，旨在引导读者通过自我维护提升内在能量。 【66题详解】 文章第2段“The difference between energy and ability is that ability can be taught, while energy must be developed.”表明能力与能量的主要区别在于获取方式不同。答案几乎是原文引述。 【67题详解】 文章第3段“Energy is built through intention, character, and the way we treat others.”表明人们通过意图、品格和待人方式来构建能量。答案几乎是原文引述。 【68题详解】 文章第5段“When your energy is full, wisdom follows.”表明智慧是在能量充足时到来的。答案几乎是原文引述。 【69题详解】 文章第8段“High-energy people are calm and quietly powerful.

A. $3,000 B. $6,500 C. $9,500 D. $12,500 B My family had a long-running cycle of growing up poor. Both my mom and dad came from large families with little more than the clothes on their backs. Their parents had also grown up with very little. When I was five, I showed an interest in machinery. By Grade 3, I was learning to program using the BASIC language. Then, one day in high school, my computer science teacher suggested that I attend a computer camp. He gave me a brochure (小册子), and I excitedly took it home. That excitement quickly disappeared when my mom saw the price of the camp: several hundred dollars. That evening, I went into my room and cried my eyes out. But a few weeks later, I got a phone call. It was the head of the computer camp telling me I had been admitted. I could hardly believe my ears. At that camp, I met many like-minded kids and learned how to build websites. It lit a fire in me. Ten years later, I received another call from the camp director. “I’ve found something I think you’ll want to see,” he said, suggesting we meet. When we did, he pulled out a long handwritten letter that my mom had sent when I was 15. She wrote that I was a smart kid. She talked a lot about my early love for machinery and computers. She ended by saying she couldn’t afford the cost of the computer camp and hoped with all her heart that they would still accept me. I broke down crying at once. Over the years, I continued to learn as much as I could. In 2014, I finally landed a job where I could use all my skills. Now, I’m proud to say that I’ve broken my family’s cycle of living poorly. And all I want to do now is to sit down with my mom and thank her for everything she has done for me. Without her, I would never have the bright life I have today. 29.

C Since the popular TV series Born to Be Alive was shown, a large number of viewers have shared their thoughts online. Many think it feels like watching a documentary, as the series is filmed against the beautiful landscapes of Qinghai and is based on real stories. Where Is Sanjiangyuan? In the south of Qinghai Province lies Sanjiangyuan, the meeting place of waters that give birth to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Lancang River. It provides around 60,000,000,000m3 of fresh water for eighteen provinces and five other countries every year, becoming an important water source for millions of people in China. This land is rich in not only its water but many rare animals. However, it was once in danger because of hunting. The number of Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) dropped quickly from about 200,000 to fewer than 20,000. Born to Be Alive shows the efforts made to protect these animals. Who Are the Guardians? Born to Be Alive tells the story of Bai Ju, a young policewoman who joins a mountain patrol (巡逻) team. Together with Duo Jie, she fights against illegal (非法的) hunting and mining (采矿) and works hard to build a nature reserve. The character Duo Jie is based on two real people: Jiesang Sonandajie and Qika Zabaduojie. They were pioneers of ecological (生态的) protection in Kekexili. In 1997, the first nature protection station in Kekexili was completed and put into use. Thanks to generations of protection efforts, there are now around 70,000 Tibetan antelopes. What Is the “Life Tree”? The answer is simple now. The “Life Tree” is Sanjiangyuan. The network of waters is like a tree of life. Seen from the air, the rivers spread out like branches and roots, forming a great trunk that holds the land together. Yet its meaning goes far beyond its shape. The patrol members are not only protecting Tibetan antelopes; they are guarding the animals and plants that depend on the area. After watching the series, many viewers continue to search for the real stories behind Qinghai’s ecological protection. The province, once taking no notice of the situation, is now drawing more attention across the country. Perhaps, through stories like this, more people will learn to listen to the heartbeat of the earth. 33. How does the writer lead into the topic about Sanjiangyuan? A. By showing the beauty of Qinghai Province. B. By introducing the popularity of the TV series. C. By explaining the meaning of the “Life Tree”. D. By telling the moving stories of the characters. 34. What do we know about Sanjiangyuan according to the passage? A. Its river system is like a huge tree of life. B. It is the only home of the Tibetan antelopes. C. It is located in the north of Qinghai Province. D. It provides most fresh water for all of China. 35. What is the main purpose of writing this passage? A. To explain what the “Life Tree” means to the living things on earth. B. To describe the natural beauty of Sanjiangyuan and its importance. C. To introduce the life stories of the people who protect Sanjiangyuan. D. To tell how a TV series raised people’s awareness of protecting nature. 36. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. Question → Example → Reason B. Fact → Problem → Result C. Introduction → Details → Conclusion D. Story → Comparison → Opinion D People hate mosquitoes due to their blood-sucking tendencies. Scientists, too, are troubled by mosquitoes and have been researching ways to keep them away. A team of researchers from Virginia Tech in the U.S. looked into different kinds of soap. They invited volunteers to test how four different soap flavors attract mosquitoes. After analyzing the mosquitoes’ behavior, the researchers discovered several chemicals in the soap that can influence the mosquitoes’ “choice of food”. Two chemicals, one with the smell of coconut and another with the scent (香味) of flowers, can keep mosquitoes away. The team also found that what matters to mosquitoes is not the chemicals, but rather the combination (混合) of chemicals with each person’s smell. For example, people who attract mosquitoes can be more attractive to them after using one type of soap. They can also repel (驱除) mosquitoes by using another kind of soap. “The findings were remarkable,” said senior author Clement Vinauger in a news release, adding that he would choose a coconut-scented soap to keep mosquitoes away. How these insects manage to find humans has also made scientists curious. According to a new study published in Current Biology, researchers built a “canteen” for hundreds of mosquitoes. In the 20-by-20-meter facility, there were six pads (垫子) that had the smell of different humans. The pads were heated to mimic (模仿) sleeping humans. They found that mosquitoes can track scents up to 60 meters. Also, mosquitoes are most attracted to a kind of chemical called carboxylic acid (羧酸), which is usually produced by bacteria on human skin. The smell of one participant wasn’t attractive to the insects, and researchers believed it was due to the person’s diet, which is mainly plant-based foods. By analyzing the chemicals that either attract or repel mosquitoes, scientists are able to improve mosquito repellent (驱蚊剂). With more studies, scientists believe changing a person’s diet could one day make them “mosquito-proof (防蚊的)”. 37. What did the researchers from Virginia Tech try to find out? A. How mosquitoes choose food in a right way. B. What soap scents can keep mosquitoes away. C. Why mosquitoes prefer certain soap flavors. D. What kind of people attract mosquitoes most. 38. What can we learn from the passage? A. Coconut-scented soap is the most useful in repelling mosquitoes. B. The number of chemicals in soap greatly affects mosquitoes’ sleep. C. The mix of chemicals and human smell influences mosquitoes’ behavior. D. Washing without soap is a useful way to keep mosquitoes away. 39. What do we know about carboxylic acid according to the passage? A. It is a chemical that helps keep mosquitoes away. B. It can be used to keep mosquitoes away. C. It helps mosquitoes attract other mosquitoes. D. It is present on human skin and attracts mosquitoes. 40. How could people make themselves mosquito-proof in the future according to scientists? A. By changing their genes. B. By eating certain foods. C. By using certain types of soap. D. By carrying mosquito repellent. 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “What do you think I should do?” asks your friend, as she sits beside you, waiting for your advice. This is no easy situation. Say something your friend disagrees with or something helpless, and you might feel you’ve disappointed her. It’s human nature to want to offer solutions when someone comes to you with a problem. It’s also easy to fall into the trap of simply saying that “Everything will be OK”. ____41____ But we often say that because we believe we need to say something. This is because we’re glad that our friend has come to us for help, even if we don’t really think we’re able to give it. So is it a good idea to try to give advice at all? ____42____ In fact, friends often really only want someone to listen to them. It’s important to try to work out whether they’re actually asking for advice, or simply wanting to talk over whatever is going round in their head. ____43____ There’s no harm in asking whether they’d like you to give suggestions. It’s also important to be honest. If you’re unable to think of a way to solve your friends’ problem, just say so.

They will certainly be thankful if you just allow them to “talk it out”, though. Maybe they’re building up courage to take action, and need to convince (说服) themselves they’re doing the right thing. Just being there for them may be all you have to do to make things better. A. Friendship is the most important to us. B. This is not actually useful for your friend. C. The answer is yes if it’s done in the correct way. D. Sometimes a problem doesn’t go away overnight. E. Talking may make people feel better all by themselves. F.

It’s not about their titles or reputation. It’s energy, a kind of force that pulls people in, makes them want to help, stay, and believe. The difference between energy and ability is that ability can be taught, while energy must be developed. You can copy someone’s skills, but not their heart. You copy their methods, but miss the thing that makes those methods work—their inner state. Energy is built through intention (意图), character, and the way we treat others. High-energy people don’t just work hard—they believe, they uplift, they inspire. That’s what people remember, and that’s what they follow. People, events, and environments are always influencing one another. You draw into your lives what mirrors your inner state. If you’re open-hearted, the world answers in kind, but if you’re self-doubting, life starts to mirror that back at you. The energy you carry is what you send out. And what you attract is not accidental. Everything you experience is related to the energy you carry. As your inner alignment (一致) is improved, you’ll notice that certain people or problems quietly fall away. The right ones will find you. Your outer reality will catch up with your inner state. Basically, energy is where action, clearness, and creativity come from. When your energy is full, wisdom follows. You don’t have to force your way forward—life begins to answer in kind. So how do you raise your personal energy? Not through willpower, but through deep self-tending (自我维护). You raise your energy not by chasing more, but by throwing out what’s draining (耗尽) you. Are you always reacting to messages, or do you protect quiet time? Do your relationships make you more complete, or emptier? High-energy people are calm and quietly powerful. They build an inner life that’s energetic, stable (稳定的) and self-respecting. When you become a high-energy person, you stop chasing and start attracting. That quiet power is the force the world remembers. 66. What is the main difference between energy and ability? ___________________________________________ 67. How do people build their energy? ___________________________________________ 68. When does your wisdom come? ___________________________________________ 69. What are high-energy people like? (List two points.) ___________________________________________ 70. What will you do to raise your personal energy?
