It appeared in the Ming Dynasty and became extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty. Every year, as part of traditional Chinese culture, the dragon dance is used to pray for peace and good luck for the new year. According to local beliefs, the Fire Dragon Dance also has the power of driving away disasters and offering wishes for the local community. The performance itself is truly breathtaking. First, the iron is heated to 1,600℃ in eight ovens placed in a circle. Sixteen shirtless men spray the liquid iron into the air, creating beautiful flower-like flames. At the same time, fireworks hidden in the bodies of two golden dragons are lighted. Then you can see fireworks fly from the dragons as 20 shirtless men hold the dragons, making them fly up and down through seas of fire. Along with music, the two fire dragons dance around to offer New Year wishes. The Tongliang Fire Dragon Dance was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产) in 2006 and has become one of Chongqing’s cultural icons. It is also known as “China’s No.1 Dragon Dance”. It has not only shone at home but also abroad. It has taken part in major national events such as the 1984, 1999 and 2009 National Day celebrations, as well as the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Moreover, it has visited more than 20 countries including Britain, France and Japan to spread Chinese culture. Nowadays, this ancient tradition is creating new value. There are 35 dance teams and 10 dragon-making teams in Tongliang. Together with tourism, they make about 1 billion yuan a year, creating income for local people.

A study reported that Cooper’s hawks (鹰) could understand human traffic rules and use them to get food more easily. ②The study was led by an animal expert Vladimir Dinets. Several years ago, he noticed something special while watching a hawk near a busy street. When cars stopped for a red light, the hawk would fly low over the cars. It used the cars as cover to get close to small birds. Then it would quickly catch its food before the light turned green. ③Dinets kept watching and found that the hawk did this again and again. It knew exactly when to wait for red lights and when to move. This is the first time scientists have discovered a bird that seems to understand traffic lights. Other wild birds may use buildings or trees to hide, but none have been seen using traffic rules. ④Cooper’s hawks live in many cities and towns across the United States. They are fast and feed mainly on small birds. As they have moved closer to humans, they have learned new ways to catch food. Living in cities has changed their hunting habits, and they have become good at using human environments to help themselves. The study shows that animals can get used to city life in amazing ways. But city life also brings risks, such as cars, tall buildings, and fewer natural places to live. ⑤As we can see, by learning more about these clever hawks, we can make cities safer and friendlier for wildlife. Next time you are waiting at a traffic light, look carefully into the trees. You might see a Cooper’s hawk waiting too — not to cross the road, but to catch its next meal. 33. What did the study find about Cooper’s hawks? A. They can fly faster than any other bird. B. They live in natural forests and mountains. C. They hide in tall buildings to catch small birds. D. They use traffic lights and cars to help catch food. 34. Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “cover” in paragraph 2? A. She covered her face with hands. B. The cover of the book is really fantastic. C. This lesson covers many important words. D. We stayed behind the rocks for good cover. 35. Which of the following are risks of city life for Cooper’s hawks according to the passage? ①Traffic lights. ②Cars and tall buildings. ③Other wild birds. ④Not enough natural living places. A. ①② B. ②③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 36. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①/②③④⑤ C. ①②③/④⑤ D. ①②/③④⑤ 【答案】DDCA 【解析】本文主要介绍了一项关于库珀鹰（Cooper’s hawks）的研究。研究发现，库珀鹰能够理解人类的交通规则，并利用交通灯和汽车来帮助自己获取食物。文章还提到，库珀鹰主要以小型鸟类为食，它们在城市和城镇中生活时，学会了利用人类环境来捕食，但城市生活也带来了汽车、高楼和自然栖息地减少等风险。最后指出，通过了解这些聪明的鹰，我们可以让城市对野生动物更安全友好。 33. 题干意思：这项研究关于库珀鹰发现了什么？A. 它们比其他任何鸟飞得都快；B. 它们生活在自然森林和山里；C. 它们躲在高楼里抓小鸟；D. 它们利用交通灯和汽车来帮助抓食物。根据第1段“A study reported that Cooper’s hawks (鹰) could understand human traffic rules and use them to get food more easily.（一项研究报告称，库珀鹰可以理解人类交通规则，并利用它们更容易地获取食物。）”以及第2段“When cars stopped for a red light, the hawk would fly low over the cars. It used the cars as cover to get close to small birds. Then it would quickly catch its food before the light turned green.（当汽车在红灯前停下时，鹰会低飞掠过车辆。它利用汽车作为掩护，靠近小鸟，然后在绿灯亮起前迅速捕食。）”可知，库珀鹰利用交通灯和汽车帮助抓食物。故答案为D。 34. 题干意思：哪个单词与第2段中划线单词“cover”意思相同？A. 她用手捂住脸；B. 这本书的封面真的很棒；C. 这节课涵盖了许多重要单词；D. 我们躲在岩石后面寻求良好的掩护。根据第2段“When cars stopped for a red light, the hawk would fly low over the cars.

Then it would quickly catch its food before the light turned green.（当汽车在红灯前停下时，鹰会低飞掠过车辆。它利用汽车作为掩护，靠近小鸟，然后在绿灯亮起前迅速捕食。）”可知，“cover”为名词，意为“掩护、遮蔽物”。故答案为D。 35. 题干意思：根据文章，下列哪项是库珀鹰城市生活的风险？①交通灯；②汽车和高楼；③其他野生鸟类；④没有足够的自然栖息地。A. ①②；B. ②③；C. ②④；D. ③④。根据第4段“But city life also brings risks, such as cars, tall buildings, and fewer natural places to live.（但城市生活也带来风险，例如汽车、高楼和更少的自然栖息地。）”可知，②④正确。故答案为C。 36. 题干意思：这篇文章的结构是什么？A. ①/②③④/⑤；B. ①/②③④⑤；C. ①②③/④⑤；D. ①②/③④⑤。 第①段：引出主题，介绍研究发现（库珀鹰利用交通规则获取食物）；第②段：具体描述研究过程（专家观察到鹰利用汽车和交通灯捕食）；第③段：补充研究发现（鹰能准确判断交通灯，是首次发现理解交通灯的鸟类）；第④段：介绍库珀鹰的生活习性及城市生活的影响（适应城市环境但面临风险）；第⑤段：总结意义（了解鹰可让城市对野生动物更友好）。结构分析：文章为“总—分—总”结构，第①段总述研究发现，第②③④段分述细节和影响，第⑤段总结意义，整体为线性推进的单一结构，各段落均围绕主题展开，无明显分论点划分。故答案为A。 D At Denver, crowds of passengers crowded onto the eastbound B.&M. Express train. In one carriage, a beautiful young woman called Miss Fairchild sat comfortably — she was an experienced traveler with all the finest luxuries. Soon, two young men got on and walked down the passage. One was good-looking, with a bold and open manner; the other was heavy-built, roughly dressed and looked very glum. The two men were handcuffed together. The only empty seat available was opposite Miss Fairchild, so they sat down there. At first, Miss Fairchild looked at them with disinterest. Then she recognized the younger man, smiled warmly and held out her gloved hand. “Well, Mr. Easton,” she said, “Aren’t you going to greet an old friend?” Mr. Easton was surprised. He shook her hand with his left hand, smiling and saying, “Please forgive my other hand — it’s busy right now.” He lifted his right hand, which was handcuffed to the older man’s left hand. Miss Fairchild’s happy expression turned to confused shock. Before Easton could speak, the older man cut in. “Excuse me for talking, miss. I see you know this marshal here. He’s taking me to Leavenworth Prison — I got seven years for counterfeiting money. Could you ask him to put in a good word for me when we arrive? It will make things easier for me.” Miss Fairchild’s color came back. “So you’re a marshal now!” she said to Easton. Easton explained calmly that he had to take the job after getting into money trouble back in Washington. Miss Fairchild was happy for him, saying she loved the West and his new life as a brave lawman. When the two men left to go to the restroom, two passengers sitting nearby talked about what they had seen. One said, “That marshal is a really good guy.” The other said he was very young to be a marshal. The first passenger laughed, “Didn’t you get the trick? Have you ever seen a marshal handcuff a prisoner to his own right hand?” —Adapted from Hearts and Hands 37. Why did Mr. Easton shake Miss Fairchild’s hand with his left hand? A. His right hand was hurt and couldn’t move. B. His right hand was handcuffed to the older man. C. He was used to greeting others with his left hand. D.

One said, “That marshal is a really good guy.” The other said he was very young to be a marshal. The first passenger laughed, “Didn’t you get the trick? Have you ever seen a marshal handcuff a prisoner to his own right hand?”（当这两人离开去洗手间时，坐在他们旁边的两名乘客谈论起了他们所看到的情景。其中一人说：‘那个警官真是个好人。’另一个人则说他觉得这么小年纪就当警官有点太年轻了。第一位乘客笑道：‘难道你没搞清楚吗？你见过警官把犯人铐在自己右手上的吗？’）”可知，乘客通过“手铐铐在自己右手”这一不合理现象，暗示埃斯顿先生和年长的男子的真实身份（年长的男子年长的男子法警，而埃斯顿先生才是囚犯）。说明年长的男子在隐瞒关于埃斯顿先生真实身份的真相。故答案为C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you feeling that you have stopped improving even if you have been working hard? You may get to a point where your progress slows down, or even stops completely. __41__________ But it does not mean there is no way out. The following tips can help you break through. Start by setting clear goals. When progress slows, it often means you need a new direction. __42__________ This allows you to see your progress more clearly and helps you stay active when the learning feels difficult. __43__________ Sometimes learners cannot see their own limits. Teachers or experienced friends can offer fresh views and point out areas for improvement. With their help, you can keep from repeating the same mistakes and make progress again. Changing the way you learn is another useful method. Doing the same thing repeatedly may lead to boredom and slow growth. Trying different ways — such as reading new books, practicing for 20 minutes each day, or studying with a friend — can bring back your interest. __44__________ A positive attitude matters just as much. A learning slowdown does not mean you have failed. __45__________ Believe in yourself and keep trying. With patience and effort, you can get past this stage and continue to improve. In short, a learning slowdown is not the end of your progress. By using these methods, you can break through the difficulty and continue moving forward. A. Asking others for advice is also helpful. B. This can be a very hard time for anyone. C. Try to learn from other people’s mistakes. D. Instead, it can be a sign that you are about to grow. E. These changes make learning more fun and effective. F. One simple way is to break your big goal into smaller steps. G. You should give yourself enough time to rest and relax. 【答案】BFAED 【解析】本文主要介绍了如何突破学习瓶颈期的方法，包括设定清晰目标、向他人寻求建议、改变学习方式以及保持积极态度等。 41. 根据空格前一句“You may get to a point where your progress slows down, or even stops completely.（你可能会达到一个进度放缓，甚至完全停止的地步。）”可知，这是学习中一个非常艰难的时期。选项B“This can be a very hard time for anyone.（这对任何人来说都是一段非常艰难的时期。）”符合语境。故选B。 42. 根据空格前一句“When progress slows, it often means you need a new direction.（当进步放缓时，往往意味着你需要一个新的方向。）”和后一句“This allows you to see your progress more clearly and helps you stay active when the learning feels difficult.（这能让你更清楚地看到自己的进步，也能让你在学习困难时保持活跃。）”可知，此处是指要设定小目标。选项F“One simple way is to break your big goal into smaller steps.（一个简单的方法就是把你的大目标分成更小的目标。）”符合语境。故选F。 43. 根据空格后第二句“Teachers or experienced friends can offer fresh views and point out areas for improvement.（老师或有经验的朋友可以提供关于如何更有效地学习的新的观点。）”可知，选项A“Asking others for advice is also helpful.（向别人寻求建议也很有帮助。）”符合语境。故选A。 44. 根据空格前一句“Trying different ways — such as reading new books, practicing for 20 minutes each day, or studying with a friend — can bring back your interest.（尝试不同的方法——比如读一本新书，上一门新学科的课，或者和朋友一起练习——可以帮助你重拾兴趣。）”可知，选项E“These changes make learning more fun and effective.（这些改变使学习更有趣和有效。）”符合语境。故选E。 45. 根据空格前一句“A learning slowdown does not mean you have failed.（学习放缓并不意味着你失败了。）”可知，选项D“Instead, it can be a sign that you are about to grow.（相反，这可能表明你即将成长。）”符合语境。故选D。 四、根据句意及所给中文、首字母或英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分） 46. On _______________ (四月) 24th, 2026, China celebrated Space Day.

B Among all traditional Chinese dragon dances, the Tongliang Fire Dragon Dance is one of the most amazing. It appeared in the Ming Dynasty and became extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty. Every year, as part of traditional Chinese culture, the dragon dance is used to pray for peace and good luck for the new year. According to local beliefs, the Fire Dragon Dance also has the power of driving away disasters and offering wishes for the local community. The performance itself is truly breathtaking. First, the iron is heated to 1,600℃ in eight ovens placed in a circle. Sixteen shirtless men spray the liquid iron into the air, creating beautiful flower-like flames. At the same time, fireworks hidden in the bodies of two golden dragons are lighted. Then you can see fireworks fly from the dragons as 20 shirtless men hold the dragons, making them fly up and down through seas of fire. Along with music, the two fire dragons dance around to offer New Year wishes. The Tongliang Fire Dragon Dance was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产) in 2006 and has become one of Chongqing’s cultural icons. It is also known as “China’s No.1 Dragon Dance”. It has not only shone at home but also abroad. It has taken part in major national events such as the 1984, 1999 and 2009 National Day celebrations, as well as the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Moreover, it has visited more than 20 countries including Britain, France and Japan to spread Chinese culture. Nowadays, this ancient tradition is creating new value. There are 35 dance teams and 10 dragon-making teams in Tongliang. Together with tourism, they make about 1 billion yuan a year, creating income for local people. This ancient tradition seems set to continue to fly into the future. 29. What was the Fire Dragon Dance traditionally used to do? A. To show the power of the local people. B.

The History of Chinese Dragon Dances B. How to Perform the Fire Dragon Dance C. Tongliang Fire Dragon Dance: A Living Tradition D. The Economic Value of Chinese Folk Art C ①Birds may not have large brains, but some are surprisingly clever. A study reported that Cooper’s hawks (鹰) could understand human traffic rules and use them to get food more easily. ②The study was led by an animal expert Vladimir Dinets. Several years ago, he noticed something special while watching a hawk near a busy street. When cars stopped for a red light, the hawk would fly low over the cars. It used the cars as cover to get close to small birds. Then it would quickly catch its food before the light turned green. ③Dinets kept watching and found that the hawk did this again and again. It knew exactly when to wait for red lights and when to move. This is the first time scientists have discovered a bird that seems to understand traffic lights. Other wild birds may use buildings or trees to hide, but none have been seen using traffic rules. ④Cooper’s hawks live in many cities and towns across the United States. They are fast and feed mainly on small birds. As they have moved closer to humans, they have learned new ways to catch food. Living in cities has changed their hunting habits, and they have become good at using human environments to help themselves. The study shows that animals can get used to city life in amazing ways. But city life also brings risks, such as cars, tall buildings, and fewer natural places to live. ⑤As we can see, by learning more about these clever hawks, we can make cities safer and friendlier for wildlife. Next time you are waiting at a traffic light, look carefully into the trees. You might see a Cooper’s hawk waiting too — not to cross the road, but to catch its next meal. 33. What did the study find about Cooper’s hawks? A. They can fly faster than any other bird. B. They live in natural forests and mountains. C. They hide in tall buildings to catch small birds. D. They use traffic lights and cars to help catch food. 34. Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “cover” in paragraph 2? A. She covered her face with hands. B. The cover of the book is really fantastic. C. This lesson covers many important words. D. We stayed behind the rocks for good cover. 35. Which of the following are risks of city life for Cooper’s hawks according to the passage? ①Traffic lights. ②Cars and tall buildings. ③Other wild birds. ④Not enough natural living places. A. ①② B. ②③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 36. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①/②③④⑤ C. ①②③/④⑤ D. ①②/③④⑤ D At Denver, crowds of passengers crowded onto the eastbound B.&M. Express train. In one carriage, a beautiful young woman called Miss Fairchild sat comfortably — she was an experienced traveler with all the finest luxuries. Soon, two young men got on and walked down the passage. One was good-looking, with a bold and open manner; the other was heavy-built, roughly dressed and looked very glum. The two men were handcuffed together. The only empty seat available was opposite Miss Fairchild, so they sat down there. At first, Miss Fairchild looked at them with disinterest. Then she recognized the younger man, smiled warmly and held out her gloved hand. “Well, Mr. Easton,” she said, “Aren’t you going to greet an old friend?” Mr. Easton was surprised. He shook her hand with his left hand, smiling and saying, “Please forgive my other hand — it’s busy right now.” He lifted his right hand, which was handcuffed to the older man’s left hand. Miss Fairchild’s happy expression turned to confused shock. Before Easton could speak, the older man cut in. “Excuse me for talking, miss. I see you know this marshal here. He’s taking me to Leavenworth Prison — I got seven years for counterfeiting money. Could you ask him to put in a good word for me when we arrive? It will make things easier for me.” Miss Fairchild’s color came back. “So you’re a marshal now!” she said to Easton. Easton explained calmly that he had to take the job after getting into money trouble back in Washington. Miss Fairchild was happy for him, saying she loved the West and his new life as a brave lawman. When the two men left to go to the restroom, two passengers sitting nearby talked about what they had seen. One said, “That marshal is a really good guy.” The other said he was very young to be a marshal. The first passenger laughed, “Didn’t you get the trick? Have you ever seen a marshal handcuff a prisoner to his own right hand?” —Adapted from Hearts and Hands 37. Why did Mr. Easton shake Miss Fairchild’s hand with his left hand? A. His right hand was hurt and couldn’t move. B. His right hand was handcuffed to the older man. C. He was used to greeting others with his left hand. D.
