B Mr. and Mrs. Jones were a happy couple. They had been married for 20 years. However, one day Mr. Jones lost his job. When he got home, Mrs. Jones noticed the sad look on his face. After she knew what had happened, she put her arms around her husband and comforted him. From then on, Mr. Jones hung around the house all day, doing or saying nothing. At first, Mrs. Jones didn’t take it seriously. A few weeks later, she was worried and advised her husband to see a psychiatrist (精神科医生). Mr. Jones did as his wife said. When Mr. Jones arrived, the psychiatrist told him, “Just lie down on the sofa. If you think of something to say, feel free to talk. If not, maybe next time.” Mr. Jones lay in a comfortable position and soon fell asleep. One hour later, the psychiatrist woke him up and said, “That’s all for today—$100, please.” Mr. Jones paid and left. After that, Mr. Jones came every Tuesday.

From the stones thrown into the air to airships of all kinds, pioneers of humans never failed to let their imagination run wild. ②Stories of pioneers go back to centuries ago. ③Kite flying in China dates back to the 5th century BC and is thought to be the earliest example of man-made flight. ④From the 3rd century BC, the sky lantern was known in China. Many people believe that it was invented by Zhuge Kongming. Some say he wrote a message on a sky lantern for help, while others believe sky lanterns were used to drive the enemies away. ⑤Whichever is true, humans have never stopped, and they will never. In modern times, new fields are being explored. ⑥In 1993, the world’s largest hot-air airship was built. The AS-300 carried an underslung raft. It allowed a team of French scientists to carry out their treetop research without too much harm to the rainforest. ⑦On May 15, 2022, Chinese scientists launched the latest model of “Jimu No.1”, China’s self-developed airship, to collect weather information on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. ⑧The airship would work at a world-record altitude of 9,032 meters. It was the first time an airship of its size had reached this height, even higher than that of the 8848.86-meter-high Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world. 36. What can we learn from the passage? A. Zhuge Kongming was believed to have invented. B. sky lanterns were used just for fun in China. C. kite flying in China dates back to the 5th century BC. D. sky lanterns were known in China before the 3rd century BC. 37.

What is the writer's main purpose of writing the passage? A. To share interesting stories about the pioneers. B. To show how excellent ancient people were. C. To ask us to learn more about imagination. D. To praise the never-ending exploration into the sky. 39. Where do you think this passage may come from? A. A travel guide. B. A science magazine. C. A storybook. D. A sports website. 40. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D Chinese athletes made great breakthroughs at the Paris Olympics, with Zheng Qinwen becoming the first Asian tennis player to win gold in women’s singles and swimmer Pan Zhanle breaking the world record in men’s 100-meter freestyle. The question now is how these rising stars can grow into global sports heroes. The rise of Zheng and Pan in Paris repeated the victory of past Chinese sports heroes like Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, and Li Na. Yao Ming made great achievements in the NBA, Liu Xiang set a world record in men’s 110m hurdles, and Li Na won medals at the French Open and Australian Open, inspiring a large number of fans and athletes. However, to become global sports heroes, Zheng and Pan should follow such rules: Firstly, they should always do well in their sports. Continuous top-level performance (表现) is important. Secondly, keeping an active public image (形象) and high media visibility (媒体曝光率) is necessary, along with building a large fan base. They should have an attractive personality, inspire teammates and fans, and show strong role model qualities. Good communication with media and supporters, as well as abilities in cross-cultural communication, is also important to global influence. Lastly, a strong support system is necessary, including training, technology, logistics, and commercial promotion (商业宣传) teams. They should try to spread their active influence beyond (超越) sports into social, economic, cultural, and public service fields. In the present global sports environment, Chinese athletes with important international influence can serve as a bridge for the world to understand China. 41. Zheng Qinwen and Pan Zhanle are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________. A. draw readers’ attention to the Olympics B. set us good examples to learn from C. start the main topic as examples D. show Chinese athletes’ hard work 42. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “inspiring” in the second paragraph? A. producing B. trading C. encouraging D. translating 43. From the fourth paragraph, we can know that Zheng and Pan need to ________. ①appear often on TV or the Internet ②speak some foreign language well ③keep a good image ④advertise some products ⑤donate much money to the Hope Project A. ①②③ B. ①④⑤ C. ②③④ D. ③④⑤ 44. What’s the writer’s opinion of those super sports stars like Zheng and Pan? A. They can keep famous all over the world for a long time. B. They can have a more fantastic and expensive training center. C. They can achieve great success because they have great talent. D. They can make more great achievements in making foreigners understand China. 45. What is the best title of the passage? A. Rules for sports players B. Ways to become global sports heroes C. Successful players to learn from D. A bridge to understand China 第二节 任务型阅读 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 It is believed that a good memory comes naturally, while a bad memory cannot be changed. ____46____ Here is some advice for you. ▲Take an interest. ____47____ This can explain the reason why schoolboys remember football results clearly but have trouble with dates from their history lessons. ▲Repeat things in chunks (块) Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time. ____48____ The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483.

Peer pressure (压力) is when people of your age make you feel stressed to do something. You feel as if you have to do that thing because your peers are doing it, or are trying to make you do it. Good peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something good. You might do it for people or for the environment. Bad peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something you shouldn’t do. For example, it might be bad for your health, go against rules, your values, or what you believe is good or right. If a friend pressures you, you might feel you should do it to please your friend. You might even feel that the person will not be your friend if you don’t do it. People often want to be accepted by their peers. Sometimes they worry others will make fun of them if they don’t do what everyone else is doing. Here are some questions to ask yourself when you feel peer pressure: ● Could I get into trouble for doing this? ● Might doing this hurt people or someone’s feelings? ● Does this go against my values? ● Will I feel sorry if my family or others know it? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you are feeling bad peer pressure. If people keep pressuring you, say, “I do not want to talk about it anymore.” Then walk away and feel proud that you made a good decision. Peer pressure What is peer pressure? ● Peer pressure comes when people of your age make you feel ____51____ to complete something you wouldn’t do. ● It can be both positive and negative.

But when I stood in her shoes, I realized she just worried about my grades and future. That night, I went to her and apologized sincerely. Since then, I have changed a lot. Now I always try to understand my parents’ feelings before speaking. This way, we communicate better and get along more happily. Empathy truly bridges the gap between hearts. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
