While her friends thought she was strange, Mia believed every object had a story. One rainy afternoon, Mia found an old ___2___ in a park bin. Its cover was torn, and pages were yellow.

Don’t miss this chance to help our planet and have fun with your friends! 11. What must you bring on Campus Clean-Up Day? A. A camera. B. A pair of gloves. C. A lunch box. D. A pair of scissors. 12. How long must you work to get a “Green Star”? A. At least 30 minutes. B. At least 1 hour. C. At least 2 hours. D. At least 3 hours. 13. What is the main purpose of this passage? A.

B Have you ever noticed that dogs always seem to know when their owners are coming home? Or that cats appear to sense when someone is sad? Animals have amazing abilities that humans often don’t understand. Scientists are studying these abilities to learn more about the animal mind. One famous example is a horse named Clever Hans in early 20th-century Germany. Hans’s owner claimed that the horse could do math. People would ask Hans questions like “What is 3 plus 2?” and Hans would tap his foot five times. For years, people believed Hans was truly intelligent. However, a psychologist discovered the truth: Hans was not doing math. He was watching the faces of the people around him. When he tapped the correct number of times, people would unconsciously relax their faces. Hans would stop tapping when he saw that signal. Hans was actually a master of reading body language, not mathematics. Other animals have even more surprising senses. Some dogs can smell changes in a person’s body that happen before a seizure (疾病发作). These dogs can warn their owners minutes before a seizure happens, giving them time to lie down or call for help. Scientists have found that special training can help more dogs learn this skill. Similarly, some cats seem to know when their owners are about to wake up. They will sit by the bedroom door and meow just before the alarm goes off. No one knows exactly how they do this. Birds also have remarkable abilities. Pigeons can remember hundreds of different images for years. Scientists have trained pigeons to tell the difference between paintings by different artists. In one study, pigeons learned to tell the difference between the art of Monet and Picasso. When shown new paintings they had never seen before, the pigeons could still tell which artist had painted them. These examples show that animals think and feel in ways we are only beginning to understand. The next time you see a pet or a bird outside, remember that there is more going on in its mind than you might think. 14. What was the truth about Clever Hans? A. He was really good at math. B. He could read people’s body language. C. He was trained by a famous psychologist. D. He could understand spoken German. 15. How do some dogs help people who have seizures? A. They call for help on the phone. B. They warn the person before a seizure starts. C. They fetch medicine from the bathroom. D. They lie down next to the person. 16. What did pigeons learn to do in the study mentioned in the passage? A. Count numbers up to ten. B. Tell the difference between two artists’ paintings. C. Find their way home from far away. D. Open a box to get food. 17. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Horses are the smartest animals in the world. B. Dogs and cats make the best pets for families. C. Animals have many surprising abilities that we are still learning about. D. Scientists prefer to study horses more than other animals. C In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a group of scientists made an exciting discovery. They found a tiny frog that glows (发光) in the dark. This frog, named the “pumpkin toadlet,” is only 1.5 centimeters long. Under special light, its head and back shine with a bright, greenish-blue color. This discovery has opened new doors for science. Why does this frog glow? Scientists had two main ideas. First, the glow might help the frog talk to other frogs. In the dark rainforest, a glowing signal could say “I am here” or “Stay away.” Second, the glow might help the frog hide from enemies. Surprisingly, the glow makes the frog look like dead leaves under certain light. This is called “camouflage” – when an animal blends into its environment. The pumpkin toadlet is not the only glowing animal. Fireflies, some jellyfish, and even some mushrooms glow. Scientists call this ability “biofluorescence” (生物荧光). For many years, they thought biofluorescence was rare. But new research shows that it might be quite common. In a recent study, scientists shone special lights on many different frogs in the Amazon. They found that more than 150 kinds of frogs could glow! How does biofluorescence work? Special molecules (分子) in the animal’s skin absorb (吸收) one type of light and then give off another type. It is like magic, but it is science. Scientists are now studying these molecules to create new technologies. For example, they hope to make brighter lights for phones and computers. They also want to create special dyes (染料) that help doctors see cancer cells inside the human body. The discovery of the glowing frog reminds us that nature is full of secrets. Even in places that scientists have studied for years, new wonders are waiting to be found. The Amazon rainforest, with its millions of different species, may hold many more surprises for the future. 18. What color does the pumpkin toadlet glow? A. Red and yellow. B. Blue and purple. C. Greenish-blue. D. Bright orange. 19. According to the passage, one possible reason for the frog’s glow is to ______. A. attract more food B. talk to other frogs C. see better in the dark D. keep its body warm 20. How did scientists discover that many frogs can glow? A. They read about it in an old book. B. They shone special lights on different frogs. C. They asked local people in the Amazon. D. They studied frog DNA in a laboratory. 21. How might biofluorescence help doctors in the future? A. By helping them see cancer cells. B. By helping them find new medicine. C. By helping them perform faster operations. D. By helping them talk to patients. D The old clock tower stood at the center of Greenfield, a small town where nothing exciting ever happened. For twelve-year-old Max, the tower was just a boring landmark. Every day, he walked past it on his way to school, never looking up. But one windy autumn afternoon, everything changed. Max was chasing his runaway hat when he crashed into the tower’s old wooden door. To his surprise, the door creaked open. Inside, the air smelled of dust and old paper. A narrow staircase (楼梯) curved upward into darkness. Max hesitated. His mother had told him a hundred times to stay out of dangerous places. But something pulled him forward. He took a deep breath and began to climb. After what felt like a hundred steps, Max reached a small room at the top. In the center stood a giant clockwork machine made of brass and copper. Gears of all sizes turned slowly, making a soft clicking sound. But the most amazing thing was the walls. They were covered with photographs – hundreds of them – showing scenes of Greenfield from long ago. There were pictures of horse-drawn carriages, women in long dresses, and children playing with old-fashioned toys. “Beautiful, aren’t they?” said a voice behind him. Max spun around. An old man with kind eyes and a white beard stood in the shadows. “I’m Henry,” the man said. “I’ve been taking care of this tower for forty years. These photos were taken by my grandfather. He wanted to capture (捕捉) the soul of our town before it changed forever.” Max spent the next hour listening to Henry’s stories. He learned that the town’s main street used to be a dirt path. The library was once a blacksmith’s shop. The park where Max played soccer was originally a small farm. Each photo had a story, and each story made Max see his town differently. “Why doesn’t anyone know about this place?” Max asked. Henry smiled sadly. “People stopped looking up. They became too busy with their phones and their worries. They forgot that history is all around them.” Before leaving, Max asked if he could come back. Henry nodded. “This tower belongs to anyone who wants to remember.” The next day, Max brought his best friend, Emma. The day after, three more classmates came. Within a month, the old clock tower had become the most popular place in town. People of all ages came to see the photos and hear Henry’s stories. The mayor even declared the tower a historical landmark. Max learned that adventure is not always about faraway places. Sometimes, the greatest discoveries are hiding right in front of you, if only you take the time to look up. 22. What did Max find inside the clock tower? A. A secret gold mine. B. A room full of old photos. C. A sleeping monster. D. A hidden school. 23. Why did Max decide to climb the stairs? A. Because his friends dared him to do it. B. Because he wanted to escape from school. C. Because something inside him wanted to explore. D. Because he heard someone calling for help. 24. What change happened after Max shared the tower with others? A. The mayor closed the tower to visitors. B. The tower became a popular place in town. C. Henry decided to move away from Greenfield. D. People started to take down all the photographs. 25. What lesson did Max learn from his experience? A. Old places are always dangerous. B. Only old people care about history. C. Adventure can be found close to home. D. It is better to keep secrets to yourself. 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever wondered why we yawn (打哈欠)? It seems like a simple action, but scientists have been studying it for years. ___26___ It is one of those everyday mysteries that we still don’t fully understand. One early idea was that people yawn because their bodies need more oxygen (氧气). __27____ Scientists tested this by giving people extra oxygen to breathe. The people still yawned normally. So that theory was probably wrong. Another popular idea is that yawning helps cool down the brain. When you yawn, you take in a deep breath of cool air. This air cools the blood in your head. ___28___ This might explain why people yawn more often when they are tired or bored – their brains may be working harder and getting warmer. Have you noticed that yawning is contagious (传染的)? When you see someone yawn, you often want to yawn too. ___29___ One study showed that people are more likely to “catch” a yawn from someone they know well, like a family member or a close friend. Some scientists think this shows that yawning is linked to empathy (共情) – the ability to understand how another person feels. ___30___ But many scientists believe it has to do with social bonding (社会联系) from our ancient past. In animal groups, yawning together might help members stay connected and aware of each other’s needs. A. Even reading about yawning can make you yawn! B. Yawning always means that a person is lying. C. There is still no single answer to why we yawn. D. A cooler brain is thought to work more efficiently. E. All animals yawn for exactly the same reason. F. However, experiments did not support this idea. G. Why contagious yawning happens is also a mystery. 第四部分 词汇运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 第一节 根据下列短文所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卷标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 Last summer, my family and I went on a trip to a small fishing village.

Maths is not just numbers in a textbook. It is a tool that helps us understand the world. For ___41___, when you pour juice into a glass, you are using maths to judge if the glass will overflow. When you walk to school, you guess how long it will take based on how fast you walk. That is also maths. Artists use maths too. When you draw a picture, you decide where to put each shape. You might also use symmetry (对称) to make your drawing look balanced. Architects use maths to design buildings that won’t fall down. Even ___42___ uses maths. Look at a honeycomb (蜂窝). The bees make perfect six-sided shapes. These hexagons fit together without any gaps. Bees have been using geometry (几何) for millions of years.

It is a skill you use all your life, ___45___ you notice it or not. 第五部分 短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，在答题卷标有题号的横线上填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When I was eight years old, I made a time capsule (时间胶囊). It was a simple idea. I wrote a letter to my future self, drew a picture of my family, and put them in an old shoe box. Then I buried (埋) the box in my backyard. I planned to dig it up when I turned eighteen. ___46___ (honest), I forgot about it for many years. Last week, I turned eighteen. My mother reminded me of the time capsule.

I had written about my favorite TV show, my best friend, and my pet hamster (仓鼠). I smiled when I read my childish questions for the future: “Do you have a flying car? Are there robots everywhere?” I laughed because the future was not as exciting ___48___ I had imagined. Then I looked at the drawing. It showed my whole family standing in front of our old house. Everyone was smiling. My grandfather, ___49___ died two years ago, was in the center. Seeing his face again brought tears to my eyes. I had forgotten how much I missed him. Looking at these things, I felt a deep connection between my past self and my present self. I was no longer the same person, but I could still remember ___50___ it felt like to be that child. The time capsule was not just a box of old things. It was a bridge across time. That night, I decided ___51___ (make) a new time capsule. This time, I added a USB drive with photos and videos.

For years, most schools began classes around 8:00 or 8:30 AM. But now, a growing number of schools are changing their start times to 9:00 AM or even later. Why is this happening? The answer has to do with sleep. Scientists have discovered that teenagers’ brains work differently from adults’ brains. During the teenage years, the body’s internal clock (内部生物钟) naturally shifts. This means that most teenagers do not feel sleepy until around 11:00 PM. It also means they have difficulty waking up early in the morning. Forcing a teenager to wake up at 6:00 AM is like forcing an adult to wake up at 4:00 AM. When schools start too early, teenagers do not get enough sleep. Lack of sleep causes many problems. Sleepy students have trouble paying attention in class. They forget things more easily. Their grades often suffer. Lack of sleep is also linked to health problems such as depression (抑郁) and obesity. Additionally, tired teenage drivers are more likely to have car accidents. Several schools that have changed to later start times report positive results. In one school district in the United States, after changing the start time from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM, the average grades of students went up. The number of car accidents involving teenage drivers dropped by 60%. Students reported feeling less tired and more motivated to learn. However, changing school start times is not easy. It affects bus schedules, after-school activities, and parents’ work schedules. Some parents worry that later start times mean later end times. This could leave teenagers home alone in the afternoon. Others worry about the cost of changing transportation systems. Despite these challenges, many experts believe that later school start times are worth it. They argue that we should put students’ health and learning first. As one scientist said, “We can’t change teenagers’ biology. So we should change the school schedule instead.” 56. According to scientists, what time do most teenagers naturally feel sleepy? _________________________________________________________________ 57. List two problems caused by lack of sleep mentioned in the passage. _________________________________________________________________ 58. Do you think your school should start later? Give two reasons based on the passage or your own experience. _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 第七部分 书面表达（共1题；满分25分） 生活中，我们每个人都有梦想。梦想可以很大，比如成为科学家或环游世界；梦想也可以很小，比如学会一门乐器或交到一位知心朋友。你校英文校报正在举办以“My Dream”为主题的征文活动。请你结合自己的经历，写一篇英文短文投稿，内容包括： (1) 描述你的一个梦想； (2) 说明你拥有这个梦想的原因； (3) 分享你为实现梦想将采取的行动。 要求： (1) 词数100左右； (2) 要点齐全，可适当发挥； (3) 文中不得出现真实的人名、校名等信息。 My Dream Everyone has a dream.

Lack of sleep causes trouble paying attention in class, forgetting things easily, lower grades, depression, obesity, and more car accidents for teenage drivers. (Any two are acceptable.) 58. Yes, I think my school should start later. First, according to the passage, later start times have been shown to improve grades and reduce car accidents among teenagers. Second, from my own experience, I often feel very tired in the first class of the morning, and I believe I could learn better if I had more time to sleep. (Answers may vary.) 第七部分 书面表达 My Dream Everyone has a dream. Dreams give us hope and direction in life. My dream is to become a veterinarian, an animal doctor. I have loved animals since I was a little child. When I see a sick or hurt animal, my heart feels heavy, and I want to help. I have this dream because of my dog, Coco. Last year, Coco was very sick. The veterinarian treated her with care and patience. She saved Coco’s life. At that moment, I decided I wanted to do the same for other animals. To achieve my dream, I will work hard in school, especially in science and biology. I will also volunteer at an animal shelter on weekends to learn more about animal care. I know the road will not be easy, but I am ready to try my best. One day, I hope to be the person who brings health back to animals in need. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
