The judge, Mr. Fang, had been very angry and said Oliver had wasted his time. But finally, he announced that Oliver was innocent (无罪的) and ordered everyone to leave. ② As Mr. Brownlow, an old gentleman who believed in Oliver, turned to walk down the street, he saw something shocking. Oliver was lying on the street, shaking all over, his face as white as death. The poor boy had fallen down from hunger and tiredness. ③ “Poor boy! Poor boy!” said Mr. Brownlow, bending over him with deep care. He quickly called a coach (马车), gently laid Oliver on the seat, and told the driver to take them away. ④The coach stopped at a neat house on a quiet, cool street in North London. This was Mr. Brownlow’s home. Oliver was carefully carried inside and placed in a warm, comfortable bed. For the first time in his life, he received care and kindness. Mrs. Bedwin, the kind housekeeper, gently cleaned his face and gave him water. ⑤ But Oliver had a high fever. For many days, he lay in bed unconscious (昏迷的，不省人事的), unable to wake up. Mr. Brownlow and Mrs. Bedwin took turns watching over him day and night. They worried that the poor boy might never wake again. ⑥When Oliver finally awoke, he was weak, thin, and pale. He looked around the unfamiliar room worriedly. Where was he? Who were these people? But then he saw Mrs. Bedwin’s warm smile, and for the first time, he felt safe. ⑦ In this house, Oliver experienced something he had never known before—kindness without asking for anything in return. The lonely boy had finally found a place where people cared. ⑧ But this peaceful life was only the beginning. Little did Oliver know that before he could find true happiness, he would have to face more dangers from his past. —adopted from Oliver Twist 26．What happened to Oliver right after he left the court?

Oliver was lying on the street...The poor boy had fallen down from hunger and tiredness.”，离开法庭后，奥利弗因饥饿和疲惫晕倒在街上。 27．根据第六段上下文“He looked around the unfamiliar room worriedly. Where was he? Who were these people?”，奥利弗醒来后不知道自己在哪、周围的人是谁，说明房间对他来说是“陌生的”。unfamiliar意为“不熟悉的”，与“strange”（陌生的）意思相近。 28．梳理文章情感线索：起初奥利弗在法庭经历可怕时刻且晕倒，身体颤抖，隐含恐惧（scared）；第六段醒来时“looked around...worriedly”，表现为担心（worried）；最后感受到关爱“felt safe”并体验到善意，内心感动（moved）。B选项最符合这一情感变化过程。 29．最后一段提到“before he could find true happiness, he would have to face more dangers from his past.”，平静的生活只是开始，他将面临来自过去的危险，但最终会找到真正的幸福。C选项“被坏人带回（面临危险），但最终找到幸福生活”最符合这一线索。 “Birds in cities stay awake longer,” according to a new study. It found that birds in light-polluted areas are active for longer each day than birds in the countryside, where there is less artificial light. Light pollution is when there is a lot of artificial light from sources including street lights, buildings and vehicles. This brightens the natural darkness and can trick animals into thinking it is daytime for longer than it actually is. Scientists studied more than four million bird calls from Bird Weather, a citizen-science project where the public gathers such information. People send in recordings of birdsong and Bird Weather uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the captured (被捕获的) sounds. Bird Weather then uses that information to study birds’ behaviour and population changes. The information that users sent in was compared with measurements of light pollution taken from images captured by satellites in space. Researchers listened to birdsong from the mornings and evenings when the birds were most active. They found that birds in towns or cities, which have lots of light pollution, sing for an average of 50 minutes longer every day. They start about 20 minutes earlier in the morning and then continue for about 30 minutes more in the evening. Not all birds respond (作出反应) in the same way to artificial light. Species with relatively larger eyes seem more sensitive (敏感的) to it. American robins, Australian magpie-larks and European goldfinches extend (延长) their days more than average, whereas small-eyed birds such as sparrows show less change. More study is needed to find out how birds are affected. For example, Dr Brent Pease from Southern Illinois University, the US, said it was unclear whether reduced sleep time was bad for birds. He pointed out, “They have developed interesting ways to cope with loss of sleep during travelling time.” 30．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．Explain what light pollution is. B．Show why birds live in cities. C．Describe how birds sing at night. D．List the causes of air pollution. 31．Which group of birds is more influenced by light pollution according to the study? A．Birds with smaller eyes. B．Birds that travel a lot. C．Birds with larger eyes. D．Birds that sleep less. 32．What does the underlined phrase “cope with” in the last paragraph mean? A．Give up. B．Deal with. C．Wait for. D．Worry about. 33．What is the main idea of the passage? A．City birds sing longer than countryside birds. B．Light pollution extends city birds’ active time. C．Birds’ sleep loss caused by light pollution is harmful. D．Bird Weather studied birds’ sounds and behaviour using AI. 【答案】30．A 31．C 32．B 33．B 【导语】本文围绕一项新研究展开，介绍光污染会延长城市鸟类的日间活动时长，说明了相关研究方式、不同鸟类受影响的差异以及后续待探究的问题。 【详解】30．原文第二段提到“Light pollution is when there is a lot of artificial light from sources including street lights, buildings and vehicles.”，由此可知本段主要是对光污染的定义进行解释。 31．原文第五段提到“Species with relatively larger eyes seem more sensitive to it.”，由此可知眼睛偏大的鸟类更容易受到光污染带来的影响。 32．原文最后一段提到“They have developed interesting ways to cope with loss of sleep during travelling time.”，结合语境可知短语cope with含义为应对、处理。 33．全文开篇点明光污染区域的鸟类每日活动时间比乡村鸟类更长，后文围绕该结论介绍研究过程、不同鸟类受影响区别，因此文章主旨是光污染延长了城市鸟类的活动时间。 China is working on a big plan to put a wireless network on the moon. This is part of its space exploration programme. After successfully completing the Chang’e 6 mission, the scientists will send two more spacecraft to get ready for the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). Chang’e 7 is set to go in 2026, and Chang’e 8 will follow around 2028. A space official from China, Bian Zhigang, said, “Chang’e 7 will study the environment and resources near the moon’s South Pole. Then, Chang’e 8 will try out ways-to use the moon’s resources. This will help them get ready for the ILRS, which they plan to complete by 2035.” Building the ILRS will take place in two steps. First, the scientists will make a simple model at the moon’s South Pole. It will be able to do scientific work in an area within 100 kilometres. They will use a network that connects the earth and the moon for different missions, like sending robots to explore the moon and sending astronauts to land on the moon. This will create a research platform with basic functions. The second step is to make the station better by 2050. The scientists want to build a network of lunar stations that will have a main station at the South Pole and other stations at the equator and the far side of the moon. This will give them a large research platform for long-term robotic missions and short-term human missions. Guan Feng, another space official, said, “Chang’e 8 will make sure there is a way to communicate and have power on the moon. Scientists are also thinking about whether they can grow plants on the moon. This might be part of the scientific research for Chang’e 8.” Since 2017, many countries and groups have agreed to cooperate with China on this project. More than 10 countries and over 40 international organizations have signed agreements with China, showing that many people around the world are interested in exploring the moon together. 34．What is China’s big plan for the moon? A．To send Chang’e 8 to the moon. B．To build a wireless network on the moon. C．To let astronauts live on the moon forever. D．To invite other countries to explore the moon. 35．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．The simple model. B．The moon’s South Pole. C．The scientific research work. D．The network connecting the earth and the moon. 36．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．China will build the ILRS without any other country’s help. B．Only 10 countries have the ability to participate in the lunar exploration project. C．International organizations are not interested in exploring the moon with China. D．The lunar exploration project is welcomed by many countries and organizations. 37．How might the writer feel about China’s moon plan? A．Worried and uncertain. B．Critical and negative. C．Supportive and proud. D．Uninterested and indifferent. 【答案】34．B 35．A 36．D 37．C 【导语】本文主要介绍中国搭建月球无线网络、建设国际月球科研站的相关规划，包含嫦娥七号、八号任务安排、科研站分两步建设方案以及多国国际合作情况。 【详解】34．原文第一段提到“China is working on a big plan to put a wireless network on the moon.”，由此可知中国的月球重大计划是在月球搭建无线网络。 35．原文第三段提到“First, the scientists will make a simple model at the moon’s South Pole. It will be able to do scientific work in an area within 100 kilometres.”，由此可知代词It指代前文的简易模型。 36．原文最后一段提到“Since 2017, many countries and groups have agreed to cooperate with China on this project. More than 10 countries and over 40 international organizations have signed agreements with China...”，由此能推断出探月项目受到众多国家与国际组织的欢迎。 37．全文客观正面介绍我国探月工程规划与国际合作成果，用词客观积极，能看出作者对此计划持支持、自豪的态度。 The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake is a great work by Ming Dynasty traveller Xu Xiake.

He takes the money and leaves, with a confident look in his eyes. The next hour passes slowly and when I hear his footsteps, I get up to meet him. His eyes are happy as he says, “We’ve made an agreement! Follow me!” He picks up a candle and walks down into the ground floor of the building. A group of detectives are playing cards when we come into the room. It is dark and there is a very bad smell. I feel sick and want to go back. Suddenly Inspector Blunt falls over a large object, shouting, “Hurry for the police force! Here is your elephant!” Someone carries me to the office above, where I come to my senses once again. Reporters arrive and detectives talk warmly. Naturally the inspector is the hero and his happiness is complete. Many people cheer for him and say, “Look at him, the greatest man of the force. There isn’t anything that he can’t find.” The happy detectives share the fifty thousand dollars. The inspector puts his share into his pocket and says, “Enjoy it, boys, you’ve gained it. And more than that, you’ve made the police force famous.” Then a telegram (电报) arrives, which says: MONROE, MICHIGAN, 10 P. M.

Now I am a ruined man.”主人公此时身无分文且失业，处境艰难。因此“ruined”在此处意为“破产的、穷困潦倒的”，与poor意思相近。 44．根据文章内容梳理时间线：④大象受伤死亡发生在故事背景中，早于主人公去警察局（最后一段提及“When he went into the dark, he was wounded...”）；③主人公带钱去警察局是故事开始（第一段）；②Inspector Blunt下楼绊倒物体发生在给钱之后（第二段）；⑤Darley被叫回家分奖金发生在电报到达之后；①报纸赞扬警察发生在事件解决后的第二天（倒数第二段“The next day...”）。因此正确顺序为④③②⑤①。 45．第二段中Blunt探长摔倒在一个大物体上并喊道“Here is your elephant!”，随后叙述者得知大象在黑暗中受伤饿死。因此大象的尸体就在那栋楼的地面层被找到。 ①China published the world’s first high-definition lunar (月球的) geologic (地质的) atlas (地图集) on April 21. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences  (CAS) , it will provide up-to-date information for future lunar research and exploration. ②“These maps will help choose locations for future lunar research stations, ” Ouyang Ziyuan, a well-known lunar scientist, said. “They can also help us better know about the Earth and other planets in the solar system, like Mars.” ③The world has seen great progress in the field of lunar science over the past half a century. However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. “As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,” said Liu Jianzhong, a CAS researcher. ④Since 2012, Ouyang and Liu have led a team of scientists from several research centers in compiling (编制) this atlas. Their work was mainly built on information gained from China’s Chang’e Program. Information from other research projects and nternational missions was also used. ⑤The new geologic atlas, which is published in both Chinese and English, presents a scale (比例尺) of 1:2. 5 million. Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020, these larger scale maps show more details. As well as the geologic history of the moon, they provide information on its 14 types of structures (结构) and 17 types of rocks. A total of 12, 341 impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked. ⑥This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes, such as lunar resources research and science education. Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. “Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,” he explained. ⑦“Compiling the atlas was a huge task, which included years of effort from a large number of researchers, ” said Gregory Michael, a German scientist. “It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology.” 46．What is the great value of the new atlas? A．It is the first lunar geologic atlas in the world. B．It proves the hard work of Chinese scientists. C．It will meet the future needs in lunar studies. D．It is built on information from much research. 47．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A．The large size and mystery of the moon. B．The discovery of Chang’e Program. C．The details of the new geologic atlas. D．The challenges the scientists face. 48．How does the writer prove “This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes”? A．By comparing different purposes. B．By using Chang’e-6 task as an example. C．By using a German scientist’s words. D．By listing information from the new maps. 49．What does “It” in the last paragraph refer to (指代) ? A．Scientific support. B．The lunar research. C．Effort from researchers. D．Compiling the atlas. 【答案】46．C 47．C 48．B 49．D 【导语】本文讲述了中国发布的世界上第一本高清月球地质地图集，包括其发布情况、能满足未来研究需求的价值、编制过程、详细内容、多种用途以及在月球地质学研究中的重要意义。 【详解】46．第三段“As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs”提到，随着月球地质研究的发展，旧地图无法满足未来需求，而新地图集能提供最新信息，满足未来需求，C选项“它将满足未来科学研究的需求”与之相符。 47．第五段整段主要介绍了新地质地图集的比例尺，与美国2020年地图对比显示更多细节，还提及月球地质历史、结构、岩石类型、撞击坑和撞击盆地等信息，都是在阐述新地质地图集的细节，C选项符合。 48．第六段“Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. ‘Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,’ he explained.”通过举例即，说明将到来的嫦娥六号任务也会使用该地图集，说明它能提供科学支持，以此证明该地图集有很多有用的用途，B选项“通过使用嫦娥六号任务作为例子”正确。 49．第七段“Compiling the atlas was a huge task, which included years of effort from a large number of researchers,”可知，前一句说编制地图集是一项艰巨任务，包含众多研究人员多年努力，接着说“它将是月球地质新问题的起点”，所以“It”指代的是编制地图集这件事，D选项正确。 ①If traffic noise makes you feel angry, you’re not alone. Scientists found that birds get mad too! A new study in the journal Animal Behavior shows that male Galapagos yellow warblers (黄莺) living near busy roads become very “bad-tempered (易怒的)” when they hear car sounds. This means traffic noise doesn’t just bother people, but also wildlife. ②The Galapagos Islands are a famous wildlife home in the Pacific Ocean. Many plants and animals there live nowhere else on earth, making them perfect for watching wild animals. However, the islands’ popularity has brought many more people. In the 1960s, only 2,000 people lived there. Now, about 32,000 people live there, and over 200,000 tourists visit yearly. This has led to many more cars on the roads and much more noise pollution. ③Scientists from two universities studied how traffic noise affects island animals. They watched 38 male yellow warblers. Half lived near roads, while the other half lived in quiet areas. These birds protect their homes by singing loudly to warn other birds away, and sometimes even fighting. Researchers played two recordings: one with only a male warbler’s song, and another mixing the song with traffic noise. They recorded how the birds behaved. ④They found that birds near roads became much angrier when they heard traffic noise mixed with bird song. They flew right next to the speaker and circled it repeatedly—behavior suggesting they were ready to fight. Scientists believe these birds may know traffic covers their songs. Moving closer to be heard is dangerous because cars on the roads might hit them. ⑤The research team wants people to care more about how noise pollution harms wildlife. While finding places with no human noise at all is difficult, we can still help animals. Simple ideas like using roads that reduce noise or making “quiet times” when birds raise their young could greatly help animals like the yellow warblers. 50．What does the underlined word “bother” probably mean? A．Make someone angry. B．Keep someone calm. C．Get someone’s attention. D．Make someone scared. 51．Why has the traffic noise increased on the Galapagos Islands? A．Because more people brought cars there. B．Because more scientists study birds there. C．Because the islands have special animals. D．Because warblers are attracted to traffic noise. 52．What did the scientists find about the birds living near roads? A．They liked the traffic noise and sang more happily. B．They got much angrier when they heard noisy bird songs. C．They flew away from the speaker when they heard any sound. D．They were not affected by the traffic noise and acted normally. 53．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】50．A 51．A 52．B 53．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了交通噪音不仅影响人类情绪，也会使加拉帕戈斯群岛的黄莺变得易怒，科学家通过研究发现靠近道路的黄莺对噪音反应更激烈，并提出了减少噪音污染对野生动物影响的建议。 【详解】50．第一段指出：“traffic noise doesn’t just bother people, but also wildlife.” 结合上文“birds get mad too”和“male Galapagos yellow warblers living near busy roads become very ‘bad-tempered’ when they hear car sounds”，说明交通噪音会让人和野生动物都感到愤怒，因此“bother”意为“让某人生气”。 51．第二段指出：“the islands’ popularity has brought many more people... This has led to many more cars on the roads and much more noise pollution.” 说明随着人口和游客增加，汽车数量增多，导致交通噪音增加。 52．第四段明确指出：“They found that birds near roads became much angrier when they heard traffic noise mixed with bird song. They flew right next to the speaker and circled it repeatedly—behavior suggesting they were ready to fight.” 说明生活在公路附近的鸟在听到混合交通噪音的鸟鸣时会变得更加愤怒。 53．文章共五个自然段：第①段通过交通噪音让人生气引出话题，指出噪音也会让鸟类变得易怒；第②段介绍加拉帕戈斯群岛的背景，说明人口和游客增加导致汽车增多、噪音污染加剧；第③段讲述科学家的实验方法（观察38只黄莺，播放两种录音），第④段呈现实验结果（靠近道路的黄莺听到噪音混合鸟鸣时变得更生气），这两段共同构成“实验与发现”部分；第⑤段提出建议（使用降噪道路、设立安静期等）并呼吁人们关注噪音污染对野生动物的危害。因此文章结构为：①引出话题 → ②背景分析 → ③④实验与发现 → ⑤建议呼吁，对应结构图①→②→③④→⑤。根据图示，D项符合这一结构。 We are curious. We spend much of our waking lives searching for information. Some researchers have suggested curiosity is its own drive, like hunger or thirst. The idea is that, since it’s hard to know what piece of information might help us in the future, humans developed a drive to search for information and keep it in case it later becomes useful. But this infophilia raises a question: if we like information so much, why don’t we look for more of it? When someone first starts learning about a field, they’ll show interest in it only if something external (e.g., a teacher) draws their attention. As a learner develops more of a connected body of knowledge, they’re able to ground new learnings in that conceptual framework (概念框架), and their interest becomes more internally (内在地) driven. Imagine picking up a textbook on the history of a country you know little about. It mentions historical people, cities, and neighbouring states. Even if you look at maps, you’ll find it difficult to keep up with the topic. The effort may not seem worth it. So a lack (缺乏) of curiosity in some areas may simply result from the difficulty of mastering the concepts. This connects with research on how people enjoy art. People are more drawn to art when it’s more complex (复杂的) — but only up to a point. Yet viewers with knowledge of art are able to manage more complexity, and so prefer more complex artwork. People are drawn towards the right balance between complexity and their own ability to deal with that complexity. Researchers also talk about curiosity as a drive to fill gaps (空白) in our knowledge. When we notice a gap, we feel the drive to fill it. If there isn’t a gap, but rather a total lack of knowledge, we don’t feel the same need. Our hunger for information is directed towards information that we have the conceptual framework to understand. All of this might explain why we don’t explore the questions that are unfamiliar or too difficult. But some of the objects around us are relatively simple. Why don’t we explore them? Part of the answer is habituation: they are so familiar that we feel nothing special about them. In some cases, questions go unnoticed because we think we already know the answer. However, if we think deeper about them, we’ll realize our understanding is incomplete and surface-level. What this means, though, is that there are missed chances all around us to learn more about the world. Sometimes, it may just require paying more attention to what’s around us, and honestly asking ourselves whether we truly understand it. 54．What does “this infophilia” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The drive to use information. B．The effort to study information. C．The love of looking for information. D．The interest in keeping information. 55．The examples in Paragraphs 4 and 5 suggest ________. A．people’s curiosity differs across fields B．curiosity is influenced by the level of difficulty C．external guidance can help develop internal interest D．the ability to deal with complexity can be improved 56．What can we learn from the passage? A．Simple objects are easier to catch our attention. B．Familiarity may hide how poorly we understand things. C．Gaps in knowledge can naturally bring about curiosity. D．Curiosity is independent of what we have already known. 57．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Why Some Things Fail to Interest Us B．The Hidden Power of Missed Chances C．How People Learn to Understand the World D．The Connection Between Curiosity and Ability 【答案】54．C 55．B 56．B 57．A 【导语】本文主要介绍好奇心的来源，剖析很多事物无法勾起我们好奇心的各类原因。 【详解】54．首段指出“humans developed a drive to search for information and keep it”，人类天生有搜寻信息的本能，画线词后句“if we like information so much”表明infophilia指代喜爱搜寻信息。 55．第四、五段用陌生国别历史、艺术鉴赏举例，说明内容难度过高时人们易丧失好奇，好奇心受难度影响。 56．倒数第二段指出“they are so familiar that we feel nothing special about them. In some cases, questions go unnoticed because we think we already know the answer. However, if we think deeper about them, we’ll realize our understanding is incomplete and surface-level”，熟悉的事物容易掩盖我们浅薄的认知。 57．全文围绕问题：明明人天生好奇，为什么很多事物无法勾起我们的好奇心并分层分析原因，标题选为什么有些事物无法吸引我们。 A bell rings at 7 p.m. every evening in Mohityache Avadgaon village, in India, telling people that it is time for everyone to turn off screen devices (设备), like televisions and mobile phones. At 8:30 p.m., the bell rings the second time, telling the 3,000 villagers that screen-free time is over. The leaders of the village introduced it so that young people could focus on their homework and not be affected by funny videos or phone messages. However, some say that a screen simply allows people to get information—it is not harmful in itself. A person can decide for themselves when to put down a device. So should you set limits (限制) on screen time? Yes—screen time should be limited Phones, computers and TV are great ways for getting information and lots of fun. However, they can be addictive (使人成瘾的) and some people need help to break from them. Even if people are chatting on their phone or playing online games together, they can still feel lonely. Screen-free time means people can connect with family and friends in the real world. It’s also a great chance for people to go outside and be active, which is good for their health. Too much screen time can lead to other problems, such as not sleeping properly and being short on creativity. No—people can manage their screen time Through devices like phones and computers, people can find answers to many questions. Screen time can be productive—you can read great works of literature, discover wonderful facts or read about important things happening in the world. It is great for homework and curious minds. Electronic devices also allow friends and family to stay in touch. Most people naturally take screen breaks, for example when they eat or exercise. People should be free to judge for themselves how much screen time they should have. Now that you’ve read a lot about it, tell us what you think on the website theweekjunior.co.uk/polis. Choose YES if you think screen time should be limited, or NO if you don’t. We will show the result next week. 58．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By comparing examples. B．By giving reasons. C．By telling a real event. D．By listing large numbers. 59．What can be inferred (推断) from Paragraph 2? A．Having time away from screens could improve sleep quality. B．People feel less lonely when playing online games. C．Getting information from phones is harmful. D．Creativity has nothing to do with screen time. 60．Which of the following best explains the underlined word “productive” in Paragraph 3? A．Widely accepted and used for a long time. B．Doing or achieving a lot. C．Not interesting and boring. D．Full of new, exciting or dangerous experiences. 61．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Screen devices are harmful and should be stopped completely. B．Different people have different opinions on screen time limits. C．The Indian village sets a good example of limiting screen time. D．Screen time helps students do homework and get information. 【答案】58．C 59．A 60．B 61．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，以印度一个村庄定时敲钟强制村民停用电子屏幕的真实事件开篇，围绕“是否该限制使用电子屏幕的时长”，分别阐述支持限制、反对限制两种不同观点。 【详解】58．第一段“A bell rings at 7 p.m. every evening in Mohityache Avadgaon village, in India, telling people that it is time for everyone to turn off screen devices (设备), like televisions and mobile phones.”说明文章以印度村庄的真实事例开头。 59．第二段“Too much screen time can lead to other problems, such as not sleeping properly and being short on creativity.”指出过多屏幕时间会造成睡眠差，因此推断脱离屏幕能改善睡眠质量。 60．第三段“you can read great works of literature, discover wonderful facts or read about important things happening in the world.”指出屏幕时间可以用来阅读文学作品、发现事实或了解大事，这些都是富有成效的活动，productive意为“多产的，富有成效的”，即Doing or achieving a lot。 61．文章首先通过一个村庄的例子引出是否应该限制屏幕时间的话题，接着分别阐述了支持限制和反对限制两种不同的观点，最后邀请读者参与投票。因此文章的主旨是关于屏幕时间限制的不同观点。 In early March 2026, a free AI tool called OpenClaw became popular in China. People call it“the Lobster” (龙虾) because its icon is a red lobster. It started a fashion across the country called “raising lobsters”—that means setting up and using this AI tool. A large number of technology fans waited in line for free setup in Shenzhen and Shanghai, and many people also paid for quick online help with setting it up. Unlike other common chat tools like ChatGPT, OpenClaw can do different kinds of practical tasks. It can work on many computer systems and goes well with everyday office programs. It can organize information, edit documents (编辑文件), and solve computer problems by itself, serving as a helpful tool. This change from “just chatting” to “working” made people want more suitable machines. Apple’s Mac mini has been sold out all over the world. Big companies like Tencent and Baidu have added one-click setting to make it easier to use, and local governments have made helpful rules to support similar research and develop new ideas. However, fast growth also brings risks. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工信部) warned that wrong setup might lead to cyberattacks and data leaks. Because of this risk, some big international companies even stopped using OpenClaw. Also, people who use it a lot have to keep paying for necessary language services. As international news said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work better. However, to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must put new technology, online safety, and cost control together. 62．How does the writer describe OpenClaw’s popularity in Paragraph 1? A．By asking questions B．By telling a story C．By giving examples D．By listing reasons 63．What makes OpenClaw different from common chat tools? A．It works faster than other AI tools. B．It provides free office programs for users. C．It is able to complete practical tasks by itself. D．It supports talking with people all over the world. 64．What can we know from the second paragraph? A．OpenClaw will be in use in most companies soon. B．Apple’s Mac mini is the only machine people can buy. C．OpenClaw helps increase the sales of suitable machines. D．Local governments do nothing for the development of OpenClaw. 65．Which opinion would the writer probably agree with? A．OpenClaw will do all the office work soon. B．OpenClaw’s success shows that ChatGPT is no longer useful. C．It’s right for big international companies to stop using OpenClaw. D．OpenClaw is a useful AI tool but needs proper use and management. 【答案】62．C 63．C 64．C 65．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍AI工具OpenClaw走红的现状、相较于普通聊天AI的实用优势、带动相关产品发展，同时点明它高速发展伴随安全与使用成本等风险，指出其长远发展需要平衡技术、安全与成本。 【详解】62．根据第一段中“A large number of technology fans waited in line...and many people also paid...”可知，作者通过列举粉丝排队和付费求助的具体例子来描述OpenClaw的受欢迎程度。 63．根据第二段首句“Unlike other common chat tools like ChatGPT, OpenClaw can do different kinds of practical tasks.”可知，它与普通聊天工具的不同在于能独立完成实际任务。 64．根据第二段中“This change...made people want more suitable machines. Apple’s Mac mini has been sold out...”可知，OpenClaw的流行促使人们购买更合适的机器，从而提升了销量。 65．根据文章最后一段“to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must put new technology, online safety, and cost control together.”可知，作者认为该工具虽有用，但需要平衡技术、安全与成本，即需要正确使用和管理。 三、书面表达 66．你校将在英语周举办英文征文比赛，主题是请以“An Unforgettable School Activity”为题，用英语写一篇短文，分享一次让你难忘的校园活动。 内容包括： ● What did you do in the activity? ● How did you feel? ● What have you learned? 要求： 1．词数不少于80词; 2．不得出现真实的人名、校名。 An Unforgettable School Activity In junior high school, our school has organized many activities. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 An Unforgettable School Activity In junior high school, our school has organized many activities.

The judge, Mr. Fang, had been very angry and said Oliver had wasted his time. But finally, he announced that Oliver was innocent (无罪的) and ordered everyone to leave. ② As Mr. Brownlow, an old gentleman who believed in Oliver, turned to walk down the street, he saw something shocking. Oliver was lying on the street, shaking all over, his face as white as death. The poor boy had fallen down from hunger and tiredness. ③ “Poor boy! Poor boy!” said Mr. Brownlow, bending over him with deep care. He quickly called a coach (马车), gently laid Oliver on the seat, and told the driver to take them away. ④The coach stopped at a neat house on a quiet, cool street in North London. This was Mr. Brownlow’s home. Oliver was carefully carried inside and placed in a warm, comfortable bed. For the first time in his life, he received care and kindness. Mrs. Bedwin, the kind housekeeper, gently cleaned his face and gave him water. ⑤ But Oliver had a high fever. For many days, he lay in bed unconscious (昏迷的，不省人事的), unable to wake up. Mr. Brownlow and Mrs. Bedwin took turns watching over him day and night. They worried that the poor boy might never wake again. ⑥When Oliver finally awoke, he was weak, thin, and pale. He looked around the unfamiliar room worriedly. Where was he? Who were these people? But then he saw Mrs. Bedwin’s warm smile, and for the first time, he felt safe. ⑦ In this house, Oliver experienced something he had never known before—kindness without asking for anything in return. The lonely boy had finally found a place where people cared. ⑧ But this peaceful life was only the beginning.

D．Oliver will become sick again and never recover. “Birds in cities stay awake longer,” according to a new study. It found that birds in light-polluted areas are active for longer each day than birds in the countryside, where there is less artificial light. Light pollution is when there is a lot of artificial light from sources including street lights, buildings and vehicles. This brightens the natural darkness and can trick animals into thinking it is daytime for longer than it actually is. Scientists studied more than four million bird calls from Bird Weather, a citizen-science project where the public gathers such information. People send in recordings of birdsong and Bird Weather uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the captured (被捕获的) sounds. Bird Weather then uses that information to study birds’ behaviour and population changes. The information that users sent in was compared with measurements of light pollution taken from images captured by satellites in space. Researchers listened to birdsong from the mornings and evenings when the birds were most active. They found that birds in towns or cities, which have lots of light pollution, sing for an average of 50 minutes longer every day. They start about 20 minutes earlier in the morning and then continue for about 30 minutes more in the evening. Not all birds respond (作出反应) in the same way to artificial light. Species with relatively larger eyes seem more sensitive (敏感的) to it. American robins, Australian magpie-larks and European goldfinches extend (延长) their days more than average, whereas small-eyed birds such as sparrows show less change. More study is needed to find out how birds are affected. For example, Dr Brent Pease from Southern Illinois University, the US, said it was unclear whether reduced sleep time was bad for birds. He pointed out, “They have developed interesting ways to cope with loss of sleep during travelling time.” 30．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．Explain what light pollution is. B．Show why birds live in cities. C．Describe how birds sing at night. D．List the causes of air pollution. 31．Which group of birds is more influenced by light pollution according to the study? A．Birds with smaller eyes. B．Birds that travel a lot. C．Birds with larger eyes. D．Birds that sleep less. 32．What does the underlined phrase “cope with” in the last paragraph mean? A．Give up. B．Deal with. C．Wait for. D．Worry about. 33．What is the main idea of the passage? A．City birds sing longer than countryside birds. B．Light pollution extends city birds’ active time. C．Birds’ sleep loss caused by light pollution is harmful. D．Bird Weather studied birds’ sounds and behaviour using AI. China is working on a big plan to put a wireless network on the moon. This is part of its space exploration programme. After successfully completing the Chang’e 6 mission, the scientists will send two more spacecraft to get ready for the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). Chang’e 7 is set to go in 2026, and Chang’e 8 will follow around 2028. A space official from China, Bian Zhigang, said, “Chang’e 7 will study the environment and resources near the moon’s South Pole. Then, Chang’e 8 will try out ways-to use the moon’s resources. This will help them get ready for the ILRS, which they plan to complete by 2035.” Building the ILRS will take place in two steps. First, the scientists will make a simple model at the moon’s South Pole. It will be able to do scientific work in an area within 100 kilometres. They will use a network that connects the earth and the moon for different missions, like sending robots to explore the moon and sending astronauts to land on the moon. This will create a research platform with basic functions. The second step is to make the station better by 2050. The scientists want to build a network of lunar stations that will have a main station at the South Pole and other stations at the equator and the far side of the moon. This will give them a large research platform for long-term robotic missions and short-term human missions. Guan Feng, another space official, said, “Chang’e 8 will make sure there is a way to communicate and have power on the moon. Scientists are also thinking about whether they can grow plants on the moon. This might be part of the scientific research for Chang’e 8.” Since 2017, many countries and groups have agreed to cooperate with China on this project. More than 10 countries and over 40 international organizations have signed agreements with China, showing that many people around the world are interested in exploring the moon together. 34．What is China’s big plan for the moon? A．To send Chang’e 8 to the moon. B．To build a wireless network on the moon. C．To let astronauts live on the moon forever. D．To invite other countries to explore the moon. 35．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．The simple model. B．The moon’s South Pole. C．The scientific research work. D．The network connecting the earth and the moon. 36．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．China will build the ILRS without any other country’s help. B．Only 10 countries have the ability to participate in the lunar exploration project. C．International organizations are not interested in exploring the moon with China. D．The lunar exploration project is welcomed by many countries and organizations. 37．How might the writer feel about China’s moon plan? A．Worried and uncertain. B．Critical and negative. C．Supportive and proud. D．Uninterested and indifferent. The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake is a great work by Ming Dynasty traveller Xu Xiake. It describes his exploration of China’s about 20 provinces in nearly 30 years. It provides information about the geography, culture, and society of his time. Xu Xiake was born in 1587 in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province into a rich family. Influenced by his father, who deeply loved nature, Xu developed a strong interest in exploration. In the spring of 1607, his first important journey began. This marked the start of his travels, which he would record carefully in his diaries. ▲ The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake provides detailed records of mountains, rivers, plants, animals, minerals (矿物) and so on. It opened up a new path for observing and describing nature. As an excellent work of ancient Chinese geography, it focuses on field observations (实地观察) and explores the causes of natural geographic changes. It has played an important role in the development of ancient Chinese geography. Besides, the book also includes detailed records of local trade, customs, towns and villages, and ethnic relations (民族关系). Expressed in beautiful language and covering all kinds of topics, the book is quite valuable for the study of Ming and Qing history. Many places Xu Xiake wrote about have become popular with tourists. People visit them to follow Xu’s footsteps and see the beauty he described. To honour his spirit of exploration, China celebrates “China Tourism Day” on May 19th. On that day in 1613, Xu Xiake started recording his journey. The day reminds us of his brave spirit and encourages everyone to explore and learn about the world. 38．How old was Xu Xiake when he took his first trip? A．20. B．27. C．30. D．We don’t know. 39．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ ? A．Xu Xiake loved travelling with his family all his life. B．The diary Xu Xiake wrote is of great value in many fields. C．Ancient Chinese people knew nothing about geography. D．Xu Xiake only focused on beautiful natural scenery. 40．Which of the following sentences uses the underlined word “honour” with the SAME meaning as in the passage? A．It was a great ________ to be invited here today. B．All of us gathered here to ________ the memory of the late scientist. C．We require them to ________ this agreement. D．They stood in silence as a mark of ________ to her. 41．What can we infer from this passage? A．None of the places Xu Xiake visited are popular now. B．Field observations are not important for ancient geography research C．The folk culture in Ming Dynasty can be learned from Xu Xiake’s travel diaries. D．People created the tourism day just to admire natural scenery. At eleven the next night I bring one hundred thousand dollars to the police station and put them into Inspector Blunt’s hands. He takes the money and leaves, with a confident look in his eyes. The next hour passes slowly and when I hear his footsteps, I get up to meet him. His eyes are happy as he says, “We’ve made an agreement! Follow me!” He picks up a candle and walks down into the ground floor of the building. A group of detectives are playing cards when we come into the room. It is dark and there is a very bad smell. I feel sick and want to go back. Suddenly Inspector Blunt falls over a large object, shouting, “Hurry for the police force! Here is your elephant!” Someone carries me to the office above, where I come to my senses once again. Reporters arrive and detectives talk warmly. Naturally the inspector is the hero and his happiness is complete. Many people cheer for him and say, “Look at him, the greatest man of the force. There isn’t anything that he can’t find.” The happy detectives share the fifty thousand dollars. The inspector puts his share into his pocket and says, “Enjoy it, boys, you’ve gained it. And more than that, you’ve made the police force famous.” Then a telegram (电报) arrives, which says: MONROE, MICHIGAN, 10 P. M. I follow the footprints a thousand miles through the woods and they get stronger and bigger every day. Don’t worry. I’ll soon have the elephant. I am sure. DARLEY, Detective. The inspector orders someone to send a telegram to Darley, telling him to come home and get his share of the reward. The mystery of the stolen elephant is solved. The next day the newspapers are full of good words. But my elephant is lost forever. When he went into the dark, he was wounded with guns and died of hunger. I spent one hundred thousand dollars on the “agreement”. And my detective cost was forty-two thousand dollars. I have no job or money. Now I am a ruined man. Anyway, I will admire the greatest detective in the world forever. —Adapted from The Stolen White Elephant 42．According to the passage, I spent ________ dollars in total finding my elephant.

According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences  (CAS) , it will provide up-to-date information for future lunar research and exploration. ②“These maps will help choose locations for future lunar research stations, ” Ouyang Ziyuan, a well-known lunar scientist, said. “They can also help us better know about the Earth and other planets in the solar system, like Mars.” ③The world has seen great progress in the field of lunar science over the past half a century. However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. “As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,” said Liu Jianzhong, a CAS researcher. ④Since 2012, Ouyang and Liu have led a team of scientists from several research centers in compiling (编制) this atlas. Their work was mainly built on information gained from China’s Chang’e Program. Information from other research projects and nternational missions was also used. ⑤The new geologic atlas, which is published in both Chinese and English, presents a scale (比例尺) of 1:2. 5 million. Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020, these larger scale maps show more details. As well as the geologic history of the moon, they provide information on its 14 types of structures (结构) and 17 types of rocks. A total of 12, 341 impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked. ⑥This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes, such as lunar resources research and science education. Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. “Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,” he explained. ⑦“Compiling the atlas was a huge task, which included years of effort from a large number of researchers, ” said Gregory Michael, a German scientist. “It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology.” 46．What is the great value of the new atlas? A．It is the first lunar geologic atlas in the world. B．It proves the hard work of Chinese scientists. C．It will meet the future needs in lunar studies. D．It is built on information from much research. 47．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A．The large size and mystery of the moon. B．The discovery of Chang’e Program. C．The details of the new geologic atlas. D．The challenges the scientists face. 48．How does the writer prove “This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes”? A．By comparing different purposes. B．By using Chang’e-6 task as an example. C．By using a German scientist’s words. D．By listing information from the new maps. 49．What does “It” in the last paragraph refer to (指代) ? A．Scientific support. B．The lunar research. C．Effort from researchers. D．Compiling the atlas. ①If traffic noise makes you feel angry, you’re not alone. Scientists found that birds get mad too! A new study in the journal Animal Behavior shows that male Galapagos yellow warblers (黄莺) living near busy roads become very “bad-tempered (易怒的)” when they hear car sounds. This means traffic noise doesn’t just bother people, but also wildlife. ②The Galapagos Islands are a famous wildlife home in the Pacific Ocean. Many plants and animals there live nowhere else on earth, making them perfect for watching wild animals. However, the islands’ popularity has brought many more people. In the 1960s, only 2,000 people lived there. Now, about 32,000 people live there, and over 200,000 tourists visit yearly. This has led to many more cars on the roads and much more noise pollution. ③Scientists from two universities studied how traffic noise affects island animals. They watched 38 male yellow warblers. Half lived near roads, while the other half lived in quiet areas. These birds protect their homes by singing loudly to warn other birds away, and sometimes even fighting. Researchers played two recordings: one with only a male warbler’s song, and another mixing the song with traffic noise. They recorded how the birds behaved. ④They found that birds near roads became much angrier when they heard traffic noise mixed with bird song. They flew right next to the speaker and circled it repeatedly—behavior suggesting they were ready to fight. Scientists believe these birds may know traffic covers their songs. Moving closer to be heard is dangerous because cars on the roads might hit them. ⑤The research team wants people to care more about how noise pollution harms wildlife. While finding places with no human noise at all is difficult, we can still help animals. Simple ideas like using roads that reduce noise or making “quiet times” when birds raise their young could greatly help animals like the yellow warblers. 50．What does the underlined word “bother” probably mean? A．Make someone angry. B．Keep someone calm. C．Get someone’s attention. D．Make someone scared. 51．Why has the traffic noise increased on the Galapagos Islands? A．Because more people brought cars there. B．Because more scientists study birds there. C．Because the islands have special animals. D．Because warblers are attracted to traffic noise. 52．What did the scientists find about the birds living near roads? A．They liked the traffic noise and sang more happily. B．They got much angrier when they heard noisy bird songs. C．They flew away from the speaker when they heard any sound. D．They were not affected by the traffic noise and acted normally. 53．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． We are curious. We spend much of our waking lives searching for information. Some researchers have suggested curiosity is its own drive, like hunger or thirst. The idea is that, since it’s hard to know what piece of information might help us in the future, humans developed a drive to search for information and keep it in case it later becomes useful. But this infophilia raises a question: if we like information so much, why don’t we look for more of it? When someone first starts learning about a field, they’ll show interest in it only if something external (e.g., a teacher) draws their attention. As a learner develops more of a connected body of knowledge, they’re able to ground new learnings in that conceptual framework (概念框架), and their interest becomes more internally (内在地) driven. Imagine picking up a textbook on the history of a country you know little about. It mentions historical people, cities, and neighbouring states. Even if you look at maps, you’ll find it difficult to keep up with the topic. The effort may not seem worth it. So a lack (缺乏) of curiosity in some areas may simply result from the difficulty of mastering the concepts. This connects with research on how people enjoy art. People are more drawn to art when it’s more complex (复杂的) — but only up to a point. Yet viewers with knowledge of art are able to manage more complexity, and so prefer more complex artwork. People are drawn towards the right balance between complexity and their own ability to deal with that complexity. Researchers also talk about curiosity as a drive to fill gaps (空白) in our knowledge. When we notice a gap, we feel the drive to fill it. If there isn’t a gap, but rather a total lack of knowledge, we don’t feel the same need. Our hunger for information is directed towards information that we have the conceptual framework to understand. All of this might explain why we don’t explore the questions that are unfamiliar or too difficult. But some of the objects around us are relatively simple. Why don’t we explore them? Part of the answer is habituation: they are so familiar that we feel nothing special about them. In some cases, questions go unnoticed because we think we already know the answer. However, if we think deeper about them, we’ll realize our understanding is incomplete and surface-level. What this means, though, is that there are missed chances all around us to learn more about the world. Sometimes, it may just require paying more attention to what’s around us, and honestly asking ourselves whether we truly understand it. 54．What does “this infophilia” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The drive to use information. B．The effort to study information. C．The love of looking for information. D．The interest in keeping information. 55．The examples in Paragraphs 4 and 5 suggest ________. A．people’s curiosity differs across fields B．curiosity is influenced by the level of difficulty C．external guidance can help develop internal interest D．the ability to deal with complexity can be improved 56．What can we learn from the passage? A．Simple objects are easier to catch our attention. B．Familiarity may hide how poorly we understand things. C．Gaps in knowledge can naturally bring about curiosity. D．Curiosity is independent of what we have already known. 57．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Why Some Things Fail to Interest Us B．The Hidden Power of Missed Chances C．How People Learn to Understand the World D．The Connection Between Curiosity and Ability A bell rings at 7 p.m. every evening in Mohityache Avadgaon village, in India, telling people that it is time for everyone to turn off screen devices (设备), like televisions and mobile phones. At 8:30 p.m., the bell rings the second time, telling the 3,000 villagers that screen-free time is over. The leaders of the village introduced it so that young people could focus on their homework and not be affected by funny videos or phone messages. However, some say that a screen simply allows people to get information—it is not harmful in itself. A person can decide for themselves when to put down a device. So should you set limits (限制) on screen time? Yes—screen time should be limited Phones, computers and TV are great ways for getting information and lots of fun. However, they can be addictive (使人成瘾的) and some people need help to break from them. Even if people are chatting on their phone or playing online games together, they can still feel lonely. Screen-free time means people can connect with family and friends in the real world. It’s also a great chance for people to go outside and be active, which is good for their health. Too much screen time can lead to other problems, such as not sleeping properly and being short on creativity. No—people can manage their screen time Through devices like phones and computers, people can find answers to many questions. Screen time can be productive—you can read great works of literature, discover wonderful facts or read about important things happening in the world. It is great for homework and curious minds. Electronic devices also allow friends and family to stay in touch. Most people naturally take screen breaks, for example when they eat or exercise. People should be free to judge for themselves how much screen time they should have. Now that you’ve read a lot about it, tell us what you think on the website theweekjunior.co.uk/polis. Choose YES if you think screen time should be limited, or NO if you don’t. We will show the result next week. 58．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By comparing examples. B．By giving reasons. C．By telling a real event. D．By listing large numbers. 59．What can be inferred (推断) from Paragraph 2? A．Having time away from screens could improve sleep quality. B．People feel less lonely when playing online games. C．Getting information from phones is harmful. D．Creativity has nothing to do with screen time. 60．Which of the following best explains the underlined word “productive” in Paragraph 3? A．Widely accepted and used for a long time. B．Doing or achieving a lot. C．Not interesting and boring. D．Full of new, exciting or dangerous experiences. 61．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Screen devices are harmful and should be stopped completely. B．Different people have different opinions on screen time limits. C．The Indian village sets a good example of limiting screen time. D．Screen time helps students do homework and get information. In early March 2026, a free AI tool called OpenClaw became popular in China. People call it“the Lobster” (龙虾) because its icon is a red lobster. It started a fashion across the country called “raising lobsters”—that means setting up and using this AI tool. A large number of technology fans waited in line for free setup in Shenzhen and Shanghai, and many people also paid for quick online help with setting it up. Unlike other common chat tools like ChatGPT, OpenClaw can do different kinds of practical tasks. It can work on many computer systems and goes well with everyday office programs. It can organize information, edit documents (编辑文件), and solve computer problems by itself, serving as a helpful tool. This change from “just chatting” to “working” made people want more suitable machines. Apple’s Mac mini has been sold out all over the world. Big companies like Tencent and Baidu have added one-click setting to make it easier to use, and local governments have made helpful rules to support similar research and develop new ideas. However, fast growth also brings risks. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工信部) warned that wrong setup might lead to cyberattacks and data leaks. Because of this risk, some big international companies even stopped using OpenClaw. Also, people who use it a lot have to keep paying for necessary language services. As international news said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work better.
