I’m an Arctic fox. My favorite meal is lemming, a small rodent. My thick white fur isn’t just for looks—it’s the perfect camouflage (伪装) in the snow. When summer comes, I change into a brown coat to match the rocks and plants. Being a furry fashionista keeps me alive! Hello! I’m a giant panda. You might think I’m a picky eater, but bamboo is just the most easily gotten food in my mountain home. I spend 12 hours a day eating up to 38 kilos of bamboo! My special wrist bone works like a thumb to help me hold the bamboo stalks. Pretty handy, huh? Greetings from the deep sea! I’m a lanternfish. My name gives away my secret: I have a special light organ on my body. This is called bioluminescence. I use my light to attract small fish for dinner and to“talk”to other lanternfish in the dark, deep waters where sunlight never reaches. Hi there! I’m a camel. People call me the“ship of the desert,”but I don’t store water in my hump (驼峰). It’s actually filled with fat. This fat is a source of energy when food is scarce. My body is also very water-efficient, and I can go for months without a drink in the hot desert. 26. Why does the Arctic fox change the color of its fur? A. To keep itself warm. B. To find more food. C. To attract a partner. D. To hide from danger. 27. What do the giant panda and the camel have in common according to the text? A. They both store water in their bodies. B.

In a nature magazine. C. In a storybook. D. In a sports newspaper. 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普类短文，以“Postcards from the Animal Kingdom”为题，分别以第一人称视角介绍了北极狐、大熊猫、灯笼鱼和骆驼的生理特征与生存习性。 【26题详解】 根据文中北极狐部分“My thick white fur isn’t just for looks—it’s the perfect camouflage in the snow. When summer comes, I change into a brown coat to match the rocks and plants. Being a furry fashionista keeps me alive!”可知，北极狐换毛是为了伪装自己，躲避危险。 【27题详解】 根据大熊猫部分“My special wrist bone works like a thumb to help me hold the bamboo stalks.”和骆驼部分“It’s actually filled with fat. This fat is a source of energy when food is scarce.”可知，两者都有特殊的身体部位帮助它们获取食物或者能量。 【28题详解】 文章介绍了北极狐、大熊猫、灯笼鱼和骆驼四种动物的习性及身体特征，属于科普类自然知识。 B The summer before my final year of middle school, my family moved to a small, quiet town. The quiet was the loudest thing I had ever heard. I missed the noise of the city, the honking cars, and the crowded subways. I spent the first two weeks of the summer in my room, scrolling through photos of my old friends. One day, my new neighbor, an old man named Mr. Keating, knocked on my door. He held two fishing rods. “The bass (鲈鱼) are biting at Miller’s Pond,” he said simply. “I need a partner.” I had never been fishing. It seemed boring. But I had nothing else to do, so I followed him. We sat on the bank for an hour in complete silence. “Is this it?” I thought impatiently. Just as I was about to suggest we leave, my rod tip bent sharply. “Pull it up, gently!” Mr. Keating instructed. After a short struggle, I pulled out a beautiful, silvery bass. My heart was pounding. “That’s a good one,” Mr. Keating smiled, his first real smile. “You’re a natural.” On the walk back, he told me stories about the town’s history, about the old mill, and about the families who had lived here for generations. He talked about the pond freezing over in winter and the fireflies that lit up the fields in June. That summer, Mr. Keating didn’t just teach me how to fish. He taught me how to listen. He taught me that quiet isn’t empty; it’s full of stories waiting to be heard. By the end of the summer, the town didn’t feel quiet anymore. It felt like home. 29. What does the underlined sentence “The quiet was the loudest thing I had ever heard.” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The town was actually very noisy. B. The author had a hearing problem. C. The silence was very noticeable and uncomfortable for the author. D. The author enjoyed the quietness very much. 30. What did Mr. Keating mainly do to help the author? A. He bought him a gift. B. He took him to see a doctor. C. He invited him to go fishing. D. He introduced him to new friends. 31. How did the author’s feelings towards the town change by the end of the story? A. From bored to excited. B. From lonely to a sense of belonging. C. From scared to brave. D. From angry to thankful. 32. What will the author probably do in the future in this town? A. Move back to the city as soon as possible. B. Spend more time listening to the town’s stories. C. Become a professional fisherman. D. Avoid talking to his new neighbor. 【答案】29. C 30. C 31. B 32. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要叙述了作者搬家到安静小镇后倍感不适，在邻居基廷先生的陪伴下钓鱼、聆听小镇故事，最终接纳小镇并将其视为家。 【29题详解】 第一段后文“I missed the noise of the city...”，作者习惯了城市的喧嚣，搬来安静的小镇后，这种“安静”对他来说反而显得特别突出和难以适应。这句话运用了修辞手法，意指寂静得让他感到不自在。 【30题详解】 第二段内容“One day, my new neighbor, an old man named Mr. Keating, knocked on my door. He held two fishing rods... ‘I need a partner.’”，Mr. Keating主动敲门并邀请作者一起去钓鱼，这是帮助作者走出孤独的主要行动。 【31题详解】 文章开头作者独自待在房间怀念旧友，感到孤独（lonely）；文章结尾提到“By the end of the summer, the town didn’t feel quiet anymore. It felt like home.”，说明作者产生了归属感（belonging）。情感是从孤独转变为归属。 【32题详解】 最后一段主旨句“He taught me that quiet isn’t empty; it’s full of stories waiting to be heard.”，作者学会了倾听，且觉得小镇像家一样，因此推测他未来会花更多时间去倾听小镇的故事，融入这里的生活。 C In a small workshop at the foot of the Jinghang Mountain, the sound of hammering on silver echoes (回响) daily. This is the world of Miao silver crafting, an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) with a history of over 400 years. Today, a group of young artists, some still in their twenties, are injecting new life into this ancient craft. “I grew up watching my father work the silver,” says Wang Li, 26, who left a city job to return to her village. “To many, it’s just a piece of jewelry. To me, it’s a language of our ancestors.” Wang Li and her peers aren’t simply copying old designs. They are experimenting. They are combining traditional Miao patterns of butterflies and dragons with modern, minimalist (极简主义的) shapes. “The craft itself is very strict. One wrong hit can ruin a whole day’s work,” explains Chen Wei, a 28-year-old artist who studied metal design in college. “But the design can be free. That’s the exciting part—using strict skills to create something modern and personal.” Their efforts are paying off. At a recent cultural fair in Shanghai, their pieces, which included delicate silver earrings shaped like falling leaves and bracelets that looked like flowing streams, were sold out quickly. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said one customer, Ms. Zhao. “You can feel the history, but they fit perfectly with my jeans and T-shirt.” The young artists also use short videos to share their process. “We want to show people that it’s not just about the final product. The beauty is also in the patience, the skill, and the love hammered into every piece,” says Wang Li. For them, heritage is not a thing of the past. It’s a living, breathing art that grows with each generation. 33. What does the underlined phrase “injecting new life into” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Giving money to. B. Making pictures of. C. Bringing freshness to. D. Taking photos of. 34. Why does the author mention the customer Ms. Zhao? A. To show the high price of the silver pieces. B. To prove the young artists’ work is well-received. C. To describe the traditional Miao patterns. D. To explain how to make silver earrings. 35. What is the key to the success of these young Miao silver artists? A. Using the most expensive materials. B. Copying ancient designs perfectly. C. Focusing only on traditional patterns. D. Combining strict skills with modern designs. 36. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The History of Miao Silver B. How to Hammer Silver C. Young Artists Re-shape a Tradition D. A Cultural Fair in Shanghai 【答案】33. C 34. B 35. D 36. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一群年轻的苗族银饰艺术家，他们通过结合传统技艺与现代设计理念，利用社交媒体推广，为这项古老的非物质文化遗产注入了新的活力，使其更受现代人欢迎。 【33题详解】 第一段提到：“Today, a group of young artists... are injecting new life into this ancient craft.”，结合下文提到的他们将传统图案与现代极简形状结合、实验新设计等内容，可知“injecting new life into”意为给古老工艺带来新鲜感/活力，即“Bringing freshness to”。 【34题详解】 第四段引用顾客Ms. Zhao的话：“You can feel the history, but they fit perfectly with my jeans and T-shirt.”，并提到他们的作品很快售罄（sold out quickly）。作者引用这位顾客的话是为了证明年轻艺术家的作品既保留了历史韵味又符合现代审美，因此非常受欢迎（well-received）。 【35题详解】 文章第二、三段详细描述了这些年轻艺术家的做法：Wang Li将传统苗族图案与现代极简形状结合；Chen Wei提到“The craft itself is very strict... But the design can be free... using strict skills to create something modern and personal”。因此，成功的关键在于将严格的传统技艺与现代设计相结合。 【36题详解】 全文围绕年轻艺术家如何创新苗族银饰这一传统工艺展开，强调了他们对传统的重塑和赋予其新时代的生命力。A项只涉及历史，B项侧重制作过程，D项仅提及一个事件，只有C项“Young Artists Re-shape a Tradition”（年轻艺术家重塑传统）最能概括文章主旨。 D Have you ever wondered why some people are “night owls” (夜猫子) who stay up late, while others are “early birds” who wake up at dawn? Scientists have discovered that the answer may be written in our DNA. Researchers studied the sleep patterns of over 70,000 people. They found that those who naturally go to bed late and have trouble getting up in the morning share specific genetic variants (基因变体) in a gene called CRY1. This gene plays a key role in regulating our body’s internal clock, also known as the circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). Normally, a person’s circadian rhythm runs on a cycle of about 24 hours, following the pattern of the sun. However, the specific variant in the CRY1 gene appears to “lengthen” this cycle by about half an hour. This delay makes a person’s internal clock run slower. For a “night owl” with this gene variant, 2 a.m. feels like midnight, and 8 a.m. feels like 4 a.m. to them. This discovery helps explain why it is so difficult for some people to adjust to a normal 9-to-5 schedule. It isn’t a lack of willpower (意志力) or a bad habit; it’s biological. “For a long time, we have thought these people were just lazy or undisciplined, said Dr. Michael Young, one of the lead researchers. “But our study shows it’s not their fault. Their internal clocks are simply built differently.” This finding could have important social implications. Dr. Young suggests that schools and companies should consider more flexible schedules. “Starting the school day later for teenagers, who naturally have a later sleep cycle, could greatly improve their learning and health,” he argues. While we cannot change our DNA, understanding our body’s natural design can help us create a more accommodating world. 37. What did the scientists find about “night owls”? A. They have a very strong willpower. B. They sleep less than “early birds”. C. They have a special variant in the CRY1 gene. D. They prefer working during the day. 38. How does the CRY1 gene variant affect “night owls”? A. It makes their internal clock run faster. B. It shortens their sleep cycle by 30 minutes. C. It lengthens their internal clock cycle. D. It completely breaks their body’s clock. 39. According to the text, what should schools do based on this research? A. Start the school day later for teenagers. B. Give students more physical exercise. C. Provide sleep medicine for night owls. D. Offer more online classes at night. 40. What is Dr. Michael Young’s attitude towards “night owls”? A. Understanding. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested. 【答案】37. C 38. C 39. A 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家发现“夜猫子”晚睡晚起的习惯与CRY1基因变体有关，这种基因变体延长了人体的内部时钟周期，并建议学校和社会应给予理解及调整作息安排。 【37题详解】 根据第二段“They found that those who naturally go to bed late and have trouble getting up in the morning share specific genetic variants (基因变体) in a gene called CRY1.”可知，科学家发现“夜猫子体内有特殊的CRY1基因变体。 【38题详解】 根据第三段“However, the specific variant in the CRY1 gene appears to ‘lengthen’ this cycle by about half an hour. This delay makes a person’s internal clock run slower.”可知，该基因变体延长了内部时钟的周期。 【39题详解】 根据第五段“Dr. Young suggests that schools and companies should consider more flexible schedules. ‘Starting the school day later for teenagers…could greatly improve their learning and health,’”可知，基于研究，学校应考虑推迟青少年的上学时间。 【40题详解】 根据第四段杨博士的话“It isn’t a lack of willpower… it’s not their fault. Their internal clocks are simply built differently. ”以及第五段他建议学校采取灵活措施可知，他对“夜猫子”持理解和支持的态度。 第二节： 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 3-2-1 Method is a simple but powerful way to reflect (反思) on your day.

At first glance, the scene was strange: dozens of young people were dancing energetically, but the room was almost completely quiet. Each dancer wore a pair of wireless headphones through which the DJ played different music. “It’s amazing,” said 15-year-old Li Ming, taking off his headphones for a moment. “I can choose between two music channels. One plays pop music, and the other plays electronic dance music. I can even control the volume myself.” His friend, Zhang Wei, added, “It’s much less embarrassing than dancing in a normal club. No one can hear how bad your singing is!” The event was organized by the library to attract more young visitors. “We want to change the old impression that libraries are only for silent reading,” said the event organizer, Ms. Chen. “A silent disco allows people to have fun, dance, and socialize without disturbing (打扰) the readers who are studying in other parts of the library.” The event was a huge success. Many teenagers said it was the most fun they had ever had in a library. However, some adults expressed concerns. “Libraries should be places for peace and study, not dance floors,” said one parent, Mr. Wang. In response, Ms. Chen explained that the event was held in a separate, soundproof area of the library, and noise levels outside the hall remained below 40 decibels (分贝), which is quieter than a normal conversation. She added that the library plans to host more such creative events in the future. 66. What made the disco “silent”? __________________________________ 67. How many music channels could the dancers choose from? __________________________________ 68. Why did the library hold this event? __________________________________ 69.

I’m an Arctic fox. My favorite meal is lemming, a small rodent. My thick white fur isn’t just for looks—it’s the perfect camouflage (伪装) in the snow. When summer comes, I change into a brown coat to match the rocks and plants. Being a furry fashionista keeps me alive! Hello! I’m a giant panda. You might think I’m a picky eater, but bamboo is just the most easily gotten food in my mountain home. I spend 12 hours a day eating up to 38 kilos of bamboo! My special wrist bone works like a thumb to help me hold the bamboo stalks. Pretty handy, huh? Greetings from the deep sea! I’m a lanternfish. My name gives away my secret: I have a special light organ on my body. This is called bioluminescence. I use my light to attract small fish for dinner and to“talk”to other lanternfish in the dark, deep waters where sunlight never reaches. Hi there! I’m a camel. People call me the“ship of the desert,”but I don’t store water in my hump (驼峰). It’s actually filled with fat. This fat is a source of energy when food is scarce. My body is also very water-efficient, and I can go for months without a drink in the hot desert. 26. Why does the Arctic fox change the color of its fur? A. To keep itself warm. B. To find more food. C. To attract a partner. D. To hide from danger. 27. What do the giant panda and the camel have in common according to the text? A. They both store water in their bodies. B.

In a nature magazine. C. In a storybook. D. In a sports newspaper. B The summer before my final year of middle school, my family moved to a small, quiet town. The quiet was the loudest thing I had ever heard. I missed the noise of the city, the honking cars, and the crowded subways. I spent the first two weeks of the summer in my room, scrolling through photos of my old friends. One day, my new neighbor, an old man named Mr. Keating, knocked on my door. He held two fishing rods. “The bass (鲈鱼) are biting at Miller’s Pond,” he said simply. “I need a partner.” I had never been fishing. It seemed boring. But I had nothing else to do, so I followed him. We sat on the bank for an hour in complete silence. “Is this it?” I thought impatiently. Just as I was about to suggest we leave, my rod tip bent sharply. “Pull it up, gently!” Mr. Keating instructed. After a short struggle, I pulled out a beautiful, silvery bass. My heart was pounding. “That’s a good one,” Mr. Keating smiled, his first real smile. “You’re a natural.” On the walk back, he told me stories about the town’s history, about the old mill, and about the families who had lived here for generations. He talked about the pond freezing over in winter and the fireflies that lit up the fields in June. That summer, Mr. Keating didn’t just teach me how to fish. He taught me how to listen. He taught me that quiet isn’t empty; it’s full of stories waiting to be heard. By the end of the summer, the town didn’t feel quiet anymore. It felt like home. 29. What does the underlined sentence “The quiet was the loudest thing I had ever heard.” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The town was actually very noisy. B. The author had a hearing problem. C.

Move back to the city as soon as possible. B. Spend more time listening to the town’s stories. C. Become a professional fisherman. D. Avoid talking to his new neighbor. C In a small workshop at the foot of the Jinghang Mountain, the sound of hammering on silver echoes (回响) daily. This is the world of Miao silver crafting, an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) with a history of over 400 years. Today, a group of young artists, some still in their twenties, are injecting new life into this ancient craft. “I grew up watching my father work the silver,” says Wang Li, 26, who left a city job to return to her village. “To many, it’s just a piece of jewelry. To me, it’s a language of our ancestors.” Wang Li and her peers aren’t simply copying old designs. They are experimenting. They are combining traditional Miao patterns of butterflies and dragons with modern, minimalist (极简主义的) shapes. “The craft itself is very strict. One wrong hit can ruin a whole day’s work,” explains Chen Wei, a 28-year-old artist who studied metal design in college. “But the design can be free. That’s the exciting part—using strict skills to create something modern and personal.” Their efforts are paying off. At a recent cultural fair in Shanghai, their pieces, which included delicate silver earrings shaped like falling leaves and bracelets that looked like flowing streams, were sold out quickly. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said one customer, Ms. Zhao. “You can feel the history, but they fit perfectly with my jeans and T-shirt.” The young artists also use short videos to share their process. “We want to show people that it’s not just about the final product. The beauty is also in the patience, the skill, and the love hammered into every piece,” says Wang Li. For them, heritage is not a thing of the past. It’s a living, breathing art that grows with each generation. 33. What does the underlined phrase “injecting new life into” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Giving money to. B. Making pictures of. C. Bringing freshness to. D. Taking photos of. 34. Why does the author mention the customer Ms. Zhao? A. To show the high price of the silver pieces. B. To prove the young artists’ work is well-received. C. To describe the traditional Miao patterns. D. To explain how to make silver earrings. 35. What is the key to the success of these young Miao silver artists? A. Using the most expensive materials. B. Copying ancient designs perfectly. C. Focusing only on traditional patterns. D. Combining strict skills with modern designs. 36. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The History of Miao Silver B. How to Hammer Silver C. Young Artists Re-shape a Tradition D. A Cultural Fair in Shanghai D Have you ever wondered why some people are “night owls” (夜猫子) who stay up late, while others are “early birds” who wake up at dawn? Scientists have discovered that the answer may be written in our DNA. Researchers studied the sleep patterns of over 70,000 people. They found that those who naturally go to bed late and have trouble getting up in the morning share specific genetic variants (基因变体) in a gene called CRY1. This gene plays a key role in regulating our body’s internal clock, also known as the circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). Normally, a person’s circadian rhythm runs on a cycle of about 24 hours, following the pattern of the sun. However, the specific variant in the CRY1 gene appears to “lengthen” this cycle by about half an hour. This delay makes a person’s internal clock run slower. For a “night owl” with this gene variant, 2 a.m. feels like midnight, and 8 a.m. feels like 4 a.m. to them. This discovery helps explain why it is so difficult for some people to adjust to a normal 9-to-5 schedule. It isn’t a lack of willpower (意志力) or a bad habit; it’s biological. “For a long time, we have thought these people were just lazy or undisciplined, said Dr. Michael Young, one of the lead researchers. “But our study shows it’s not their fault. Their internal clocks are simply built differently.” This finding could have important social implications. Dr. Young suggests that schools and companies should consider more flexible schedules. “Starting the school day later for teenagers, who naturally have a later sleep cycle, could greatly improve their learning and health,” he argues. While we cannot change our DNA, understanding our body’s natural design can help us create a more accommodating world. 37. What did the scientists find about “night owls”? A. They have a very strong willpower. B. They sleep less than “early birds”. C. They have a special variant in the CRY1 gene. D. They prefer working during the day. 38. How does the CRY1 gene variant affect “night owls”? A. It makes their internal clock run faster. B. It shortens their sleep cycle by 30 minutes. C. It lengthens their internal clock cycle. D. It completely breaks their body’s clock. 39. According to the text, what should schools do based on this research? A. Start the school day later for teenagers. B. Give students more physical exercise. C. Provide sleep medicine for night owls. D. Offer more online classes at night. 40. What is Dr. Michael Young’s attitude towards “night owls”? A. Understanding. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested. 第二节： 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 3-2-1 Method is a simple but powerful way to reflect (反思) on your day.

At first glance, the scene was strange: dozens of young people were dancing energetically, but the room was almost completely quiet. Each dancer wore a pair of wireless headphones through which the DJ played different music. “It’s amazing,” said 15-year-old Li Ming, taking off his headphones for a moment. “I can choose between two music channels. One plays pop music, and the other plays electronic dance music. I can even control the volume myself.” His friend, Zhang Wei, added, “It’s much less embarrassing than dancing in a normal club. No one can hear how bad your singing is!” The event was organized by the library to attract more young visitors. “We want to change the old impression that libraries are only for silent reading,” said the event organizer, Ms. Chen. “A silent disco allows people to have fun, dance, and socialize without disturbing (打扰) the readers who are studying in other parts of the library.” The event was a huge success. Many teenagers said it was the most fun they had ever had in a library. However, some adults expressed concerns. “Libraries should be places for peace and study, not dance floors,” said one parent, Mr. Wang. In response, Ms. Chen explained that the event was held in a separate, soundproof area of the library, and noise levels outside the hall remained below 40 decibels (分贝), which is quieter than a normal conversation. She added that the library plans to host more such creative events in the future. 66. What made the disco “silent”? __________________________________ 67.
