That was a special sign for him that winter was coming. Soapy knew he had to find some way to take care of himself during the cold weather. Soapy’s hopes for the winter were not very high. He was not thinking of sailing away on a ship or enjoying southern skies. Three months in prison (监狱) on Blackwell’s Island was what he wanted, for it would give him three months of food every day and a bed every night, which would keep him safe from the cold north wind. Soapy decided to do something. His first plan was to go to an expensive restaurant and have a good meal. Then he would say he had no money to pay. And then a cop would be called. Everything would be done quietly—nice and easy, without any trouble. Soon, he stopped at a large and bright restaurant. This was where the best food and the best people in the best clothes appeared every evening. Soapy believed that from the waist up he looked all right. His face was clean. His coat was good enough. If he got to a table, success would be his, and the waiter would bring him what he asked for. But as Soapy set foot inside the restaurant door, the head waiter saw his dirty old trousers and terrible shoes. Strong hands turned Soapy around and moved him quietly and quickly outside again. It seemed that the easiest way to the island was not to be his. Soapy would have to come up with another plan. —Adapted from The Cop and the Anthem 5. According to the first two paragraphs, what did Soapy want to do? A. He wanted to sail away on a ship. B. He wanted to enjoy southern skies. C. He wanted to be sent to prison. D. He wanted to have a good meal. 6. How did Soapy feel about his first plan? A. Perfect. B. Risky. C. Interesting. D. Terrible. 7. Why didn’t the waiter allow Soapy to enter the restaurant? A. Because Soapy had no money. B. Because Soapy’s clothes were untidy. C. Because the waiter didn’t like Soapy. D. Because Soapy’s behaviour was very impolite. 8.

Soapy would go back to the same restaurant later. D. Soapy would buy new clothes and try again. C A clay cat, usually with big eyes and its mouth wide open, may seem a bit scary at first sight. However, in Yunnan, such cats are seen as little heroes that protect homes. They are called wamao-traditional clay cats once placed on rooftops. People in Yunnan believe wamao could keep away bad luck and bring peace. In 2023, wamao became Yunnan’s provincial intangible cultural heritage (省级非物质文化遗产). Zhang Hang is an inheritor (传承人) of the Kunming wamao-making skill. In a small museum in Kunming, he makes these cute clay cats. He also founded the Heart Chamber Wamao Museum. Zhang first saw wamao in 2012 when he studied folk art design at Yunnan Arts University. “I was drawn to their expressive artistic forms,” he told Xinhua. After that, looking for old wamao became part of his daily life. After over 10 years of effort, Zhang has collected more than 700 wamao. “It is a vessel of history, culture and people’s hope for a better life,” he said. Since opening the museum in 2019, he has promoted wamao through exhibitions, workshops and tours, letting visitors learn about the craft or visit traditional villages. To make a wamao, Zhang mixes clay, shapes it, dries it and fires it. Skilled artisans can complete one cat in a week, but Zhang said the true challenge is mixing tradition with new ideas. “It sometimes takes a month to create one that feels right,” he said. “The goal is to help this ancient craft find new meaning in modern society.” As Kunming’s old houses gradually disappear, Zhang hopes to save the memories of wamao and keep their spirit alive. 9. What is wamao according to the text? A. A modern art toy that is popular in Yunnan. B. A traditional clay cat placed on rooftops. C. A story about heroes told by Yunnan people. D. A new symbol of culture in Kunming city. 10. What does the underlined phrase “was drawn to” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Felt tired of. B. Was ready for. C. Was satisfied with. D. Became interested in. 11. What can we know about making wamao from Paragraph 7? A. It only needs three steps to make a wamao. B. Zhang Hang can finish a wamao in one day. C. It is challenging to mix tradition with new ideas. D. The artisans’ goal is to make more and more wamao. 12. What can we infer from the text? A. Kunming’s old houses will disappear soon. B. Zhang doesn’t have any difficulty in promoting wamao. C. There is still no good way to keep the wamao’s spirit alive. D. Zhang will keep protecting the ancient craft. D In today’s world, digital technology is everywhere. From smartphones to computers, it has changed how we connect. However, some scientists have expressed concern that overusing digital devices could harm our brain health, especially as we age. This idea is sometimes called “digital dementia (电子痴呆)”，suggesting that depending too much on technology might weaken thinking skills. But is that really true for older people? A recent study from researchers in the USA offers a different and more hopeful view. The team analyzed data from more than 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. They checked how often these people used technology-like computers, smartphones, and the Internet, and whether that was linked to changes in their cognitive (认知的) health over time. The results were clear: Regular technology use was connected with a lower risk of cognitive decline (衰退). In fact, the study found that those who often used technology had about 58% lower risk of cognitive decline compared to those who rarely used such devices. One possible explanation is that using technology often requires learning and adaptation (适应)—whether it’s figuring out a new app, following online instructions, or even troubleshooting (检修) a device. These activities can act like mental exercise, helping to keep the brain active. Moreover, technology helps many older adults stay socially connected through messaging apps, video calls, and social media, which is also known to support cognitive health. Of course, not all screen time is equal. Mindlessly swiping through videos or spending hours on passive entertainment (被动娱乐) may not provide the same benefits. What matters is how we use technology-whether it encourages thinking, learning, or connecting. This study does not mean technology is a cure for age-related brain changes, and more research is needed to understand the long-term effects. However, it suggests that in our increasingly digital world, using technology in thoughtful and active ways may be one useful part of maintaining brain health as we grow older. 13. According to the study, how does regular use of technology affect older people’s brain health? A. It greatly increases the risk of dementia. B. It weakens their memory and thinking skills. C. It is linked to a much lower risk of cognitive decline. D. It only helps if they stop using it after the age of 60. 14. Why does the writer mention “mental exercise” in Paragraph 4? A. To encourage young people to do mental exercise more often. B. To suggest that using technology is better than physical exercise. C. To explain how active technology use is helpful to the brain. D. To argue that thinking is necessary to prevent old people from developing digital dementia. 15. Which of the following would the writer most probably recommend for brain health? A. Leaving the TV on all day while doing housework. B. Using a smartphone app to learn a new language. C. Letting a family member manage online tasks for you. D. Spending hours swiping through TikTok videos. 16. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Dangers of Digital Dementia B. Keep Away from Screens C. A New Way to Cure Ageing Brains D. Technology Helps Ageing Brains 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 How to Exercise in a Healthy Way Exercise plays an important role in our daily lives.

This is called active listening, a great way to understand others’ feelings and build trust. The meaning of active listening Active listening means listening to people carefully. It also means watching their body language, like facial (面部的) expressions or gestures (手势), to understand how they feel. Annie, an 11-year-old reader of Week Junior, explains what it means to her, “When my friends tell me something important, I listen to what they are trying to say. I can tell whether they’re upset or happy by their voices and facial expressions. This makes me feel like I understand them better.” The reasons for being active listeners When you listen to your friends without cutting in or giving your own opinions, it shows that you value what they’re saying—even when you don’t agree. This not only helps avoid mistakes but also strengthens (加强) friendships. Samaritans is a charity (慈善机构) that supports people by listening to their worries. It says, “Listening to people makes them feel valued and understood.” The ways to be active listeners Listen to your friends carefully, and avoid jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings. If you really want to talk, Samaritans suggests making a listening sign instead, like nodding your head. Besides, ask questions or say things that need more than a “yes” or “no” as the answer. At the same time, pay attention to their facial expressions and body language. Remember: Active listening takes practice. 41. What else does active listening mean besides listening carefully? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 42. How can Annie tell whether her friends are upset or happy? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What are the benefits of active listening? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 44. Do you think active listening is important in your life? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 五、书面表达(满分20分) 45. 假定你是李辉，你的外国好友Mark给你发来一封邮件。请你仔细阅读这封邮件并写一封回信，内容包括：(1)给予安慰；(2)给出建议；(3)表达期望。 To: Li Hui From: Mark Dear Li Hui, It was my birthday party yesterday, and I was expecting my best friend to say something all day, but she completely forgot!

A dead leaf fell at his feet. That was a special sign for him that winter was coming. Soapy knew he had to find some way to take care of himself during the cold weather. Soapy’s hopes for the winter were not very high. He was not thinking of sailing away on a ship or enjoying southern skies. Three months in prison (监狱) on Blackwell’s Island was what he wanted, for it would give him three months of food every day and a bed every night, which would keep him safe from the cold north wind. Soapy decided to do something. His first plan was to go to an expensive restaurant and have a good meal. Then he would say he had no money to pay. And then a cop would be called. Everything would be done quietly—nice and easy, without any trouble. Soon, he stopped at a large and bright restaurant. This was where the best food and the best people in the best clothes appeared every evening. Soapy believed that from the waist up he looked all right. His face was clean. His coat was good enough. If he got to a table, success would be his, and the waiter would bring him what he asked for. But as Soapy set foot inside the restaurant door, the head waiter saw his dirty old trousers and terrible shoes. Strong hands turned Soapy around and moved him quietly and quickly outside again. It seemed that the easiest way to the island was not to be his. Soapy would have to come up with another plan. —Adapted from The Cop and the Anthem 5.

He wanted to have a good meal. 6. How did Soapy feel about his first plan? A. Perfect. B. Risky. C. Interesting. D. Terrible. 7. Why didn’t the waiter allow Soapy to enter the restaurant? A. Because Soapy had no money. B. Because Soapy’s clothes were untidy. C. Because the waiter didn’t like Soapy. D. Because Soapy’s behaviour was very impolite. 8. According to the text, what would most likely happen next? A. Soapy would give up his idea of going to prison. B. Soapy would try a different way to achieve his goal. C. Soapy would go back to the same restaurant later. D. Soapy would buy new clothes and try again. 【答案】5. C 6. A 7. B 8. B 【解析】 【导语】本文改编自欧·亨利的短篇小说《警察与赞美诗》。文章讲述了流浪汉Soapy为了度过寒冷的冬天，计划通过犯罪进入监狱以获得食宿和庇护。他尝试了第一个计划：去高档餐厅吃饭后假装没钱买单，但因衣着破旧被服务员赶了出来，不得不寻找新的计划。 【5题详解】 根据第二段中“Three months in prison on Blackwell’s Island was what he wanted”可知，Soapy想要的是被送进监狱。 【6题详解】 根据第三段中“Everything would be done quietly—nice and easy, without any trouble.”可知，Soapy认为这个计划简单顺利，在他心目中是完美的。 【7题详解】 根据最后一段中“the head waiter saw his dirty old trousers and terrible shoes. Strong hands turned Soapy around.”可知，服务员拒绝他进入是因为他的衣着不整（脏裤子和破鞋）。 【8题详解】 根据文章最后一句“Soapy would have to come up with another plan.”可知，既然第一个计划失败了，他接下来最可能会尝试不同的方法来实现进监狱的目标。 C A clay cat, usually with big eyes and its mouth wide open, may seem a bit scary at first sight. However, in Yunnan, such cats are seen as little heroes that protect homes. They are called wamao-traditional clay cats once placed on rooftops.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了云南传统陶艺“瓦猫”的文化内涵，以及传承人张航致力于收集、制作和推广这一非物质文化遗产，使其在现代社会焕发新生的故事。 【9题详解】 第一段指出瓦猫的定义：“They are called wamao—traditional clay cats once placed on rooftops”，这直接说明瓦猫是一种曾经被放置在屋顶上的传统陶猫。 【10题详解】 第四段解释短语含义：文中提到张航第一次见到瓦猫时“was drawn to their expressive artistic forms”，结合后文他花费十年时间收集700多只瓦猫的行为，可知该短语意为“被……吸引”或“对……产生兴趣”。 【11题详解】 第七段描述制作挑战：“Zhang said the true challenge is mixing tradition with new ideas”，这说明在制作瓦猫的过程中，真正的难点在于如何将传统工艺与新理念相结合。 【12题详解】 最后一段表明决心：“Zhang hopes to save the memories of wamao and keep their spirit alive”，由此可以推断出张航将继续努力保护这一古老技艺，不让其精神消亡。 D In today’s world, digital technology is everywhere.

At that time, feiqian, an early form of paper-based exchange certificate, ____31____ (use) as a promise to pay rather than real paper money. During the Northern Song Dynasty, official jiaozi was issued (发行) and soon became widely used. It is considered the ____32____ (world) first official paper money. And now, China may become one of the first ____33____ (true) cashless societies. I live in China, and I travel outside the country from time to time. In China, I never carry my wallet with me, and I don’t even carry cash. However, when I go to other countries, it is ____34____ different story. Before travelling, I need ____35____ (make) sure my credit card is in my wallet, which is something I almost never do in China. Cash is still legal tender (法定货币) across China, ____36____ only a few people use it today.

Once again, China goes a step further and finds even ____40____ (easy) payment methods. 【答案】31. was used 32. world’s 33. truly 34. a 35. to make 36. but 37. have stopped 38. without 39. convenience 40. easier 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了纸币起源于中国，如今中国走在无现金支付前沿；作者对比国内外消费习惯，点明国内依托手机、刷脸实现便捷无现金消费，相较欧美刷卡模式，支付方式更简便。 【31题详解】 句意：在当时，飞钱作为早期纸质汇兑凭证，被用作兑付凭据，而非真正的纸币。主语feiqian和use是被动关系，故用被动语态；At that time是过去的时间，本句用一般过去时，一般过去时的被动语态结构为was+过去分词。故填was used。 【32题详解】 句意：它被公认为世界上第一种官方纸币。本空修饰名词paper money，需用形容词或名词所有格。world’s是名词所有格，表示“世界的”，符合语境。 【33题详解】 句意：现如今，中国或将率先成为真正实现无现金化的国家之一。本空修饰形容词cashless，应用副词。故填truly。 【34题详解】 句意：但去往其他国家时，情况就截然不同了。story是可数名词单数形式，前面需加冠词。a different story是固定搭配，意为“另一回事，不一样的情况”。故填a。 【35题详解】 句意：出行前，我总要确认信用卡装在钱包里，这是我在国内几乎不会做的事。need在肯定句中作实义动词而非情态动词，need to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“需要去做某事”。在need doing sth.的固定搭配中主语只能是物不能是人，故填to make。 【36题详解】 句意：在中国，现金依旧是法定流通货币，可如今只有极少数人还在使用。前面的“Cash is still legal tender (法定货币) across China”和后面的“only a few people use it today”是转折关系，且空格后无逗号，故填表示转折的连词but。 【37题详解】 句意：智能手机普及之后，很多人不再随身带钱包，几乎所有消费都能在手机上完成。由Since可知本句用现在完成时，结构为have/has+过去分词。主语many of us是复数，助动词用have，故填have stopped。 【38题详解】 句意：我们在不少场所不用掏出手机就能完成付款。根据前一句“But now, even more convenient ways, like facial recognition (面部识别), are here.”可知，本句的句意为“我们不用掏出手机就能完成付款”，without doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“不用做某事”。故填without。 【39题详解】 句意：这种支付的便捷度很难被超越，但当地人依旧会把银行卡放在钱包里。本句缺少主语，空格处填一个名词。故填convenience。 【40题详解】 句意：中国更进一步，探索出了更为简便的支付手段。根据前半句“China goes a step further”以及空前的even可知，本空用比较级。故填easier。 四、阅读与表达(共4小题，41-43小题，每小题2分，44小题4分;满分10分) 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 How does it feel when people listen to you without interrupting (打断) or giving their opinions? This is called active listening, a great way to understand others’ feelings and build trust. The meaning of active listening Active listening means listening to people carefully. It also means watching their body language, like facial (面部的) expressions or gestures (手势), to understand how they feel. Annie, an 11-year-old reader of Week Junior, explains what it means to her, “When my friends tell me something important, I listen to what they are trying to say. I can tell whether they’re upset or happy by their voices and facial expressions. This makes me feel like I understand them better.” The reasons for being active listeners When you listen to your friends without cutting in or giving your own opinions, it shows that you value what they’re saying—even when you don’t agree. This not only helps avoid mistakes but also strengthens (加强) friendships. Samaritans is a charity (慈善机构) that supports people by listening to their worries. It says, “Listening to people makes them feel valued and understood.” The ways to be active listeners Listen to your friends carefully, and avoid jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings. If you really want to talk, Samaritans suggests making a listening sign instead, like nodding your head. Besides, ask questions or say things that need more than a “yes” or “no” as the answer. At the same time, pay attention to their facial expressions and body language. Remember: Active listening takes practice. 41. What else does active listening mean besides listening carefully? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 42. How can Annie tell whether her friends are upset or happy? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What are the benefits of active listening? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 44. Do you think active listening is important in your life? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. It also means watching people’s body language to understand how they feel. 42. She can tell whether they’re upset or happy by their voices and facial expressions. 43. It helps avoid mistakes, strengthens friendships and makes people feel valued and understood. 44. Yes, I think active listening is very important in my life. It helps me truly understand my friends’feelings and makes them feel respected and valued. By listening patiently, I build deeper trust and closer relationships with people around me. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了积极倾听的定义、成为积极倾听者的原因以及成为积极倾听者的方法。 【41题详解】 根据文章第二段“It also means watching their body language”，积极倾听除了仔细听之外还意味着观察肢体语言。 【42题详解】 根据文章第二段“I can tell whether they're upset or happy by their voices and facial expressions”，Annie是通过声音和面部表情来判断的。 【43题详解】 根据文章第三段“This not only helps avoid mistakes but also strengthens friendships”及“Listening to people makes them feel valued and understood”，积极倾听的好处包括避免错误、加强友谊和让人感到被重视。 【44题详解】 根据文章第一段“a great way to understand others'feelings and build trust”可知，积极倾听有助于建立信任和理解。开放性试题，答案合理且符合字数要求即可。 五、书面表达(满分20分) 45. 假定你是李辉，你的外国好友Mark给你发来一封邮件。请你仔细阅读这封邮件并写一封回信，内容包括：(1)给予安慰；(2)给出建议；(3)表达期望。 To: Li Hui From: Mark Dear Li Hui, It was my birthday party yesterday, and I was expecting my best friend to say something all day, but she completely forgot!
