The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring. As is known, it is a time to worship (敬奉) ancestors. However, here are several things you may not know about Clear and Bright. Spring Outings Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature. As trees turn green, flowers blossom, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to appreciate the beauty of nature. Flying Kites Flying kites is an activity favored by many Chinese during the Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the daytime but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be chased away by doing this. Cuju Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs plugged in it. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival. Feasting on Qingtuan In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on the Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. In order to make the cakes, people mash (捣碎) Ay Tsao (艾草) to squeeze juice from it and mix the flour and juice to a paste. Then they put fillings into the paste and steam them. Pretty and delicate, qingtuan has a special flavor. 1. Why are kites allowed to fly freely during Clear and Bright? A. To admire the beauty of nature. B. To send information to the warriors. C. To wish good luck and hope no diseases. D. To show personal taste and preference. 2. What can we know about Clear and Bright? A. It promises the beginning of the farming. B. It is right after the Tomb-Sweeping Day. C. All plants would revive on this very day. D. People must eat a green cake and fly kites. 3. Which of the following can be the best title? A. A Time to Enjoy Nature. B. An Important Family Occasion. C. Traditions on Clear and Bright. D. Clear and Bright: A Feast for Eyes. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述清明是二十四节气之一，也是传统扫墓节日。文章介绍了清明春游、放风筝、蹴鞠、吃青团等多种特色传统习俗。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be chased away by doing this.(据说这样做可以带来好运，还能驱走疾病。)”可知，人们剪断风筝线让风筝自由飞走，是为了祈求好运、远离疾病。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring.(气温开始回升，降雨量增多，这是春季农作物种植的重要时节。)”可知，清明预示着农耕劳作的开启。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, here are several things you may not know about Clear and Bright.(不过，关于清明，还有一些大家可能不了解的习俗。)”并结合下文介绍的春游、放风筝、蹴鞠、吃青团等传统活动可知，文章主要介绍清明时节的各类传统习俗，所以C项“Traditions on Clear and Bright.(清明习俗)”符合语境。 B Like most languages, English is filled with food expressions. Today we will start with two appetizers (开胃菜) , continue with the main course, and finish with dessert. In other words, we will take you from soup to nuts, or from the beginning to the end. With many meals, soup comes first and nuts come last. So, if you do something from soup to nuts you do everything from the beginning to the end. Our first appetizer today is alphabet soup. When you have a collection of letters from the alphabet that stand for several words, we can call it alphabet soup. These can be the letters that show a job, such as COO for Chief Operating Officer. They could also be letters that show someone’s education, like an MBA for a Master of Business Administration. The next appetizer is salad. A salad usually has vegetables mixed with cheese, egg, meat, nuts, or, sometimes, fruit. Well, when we have a mixture of words or phrases that are difficult to understand, we can call it word salad. In the past, word salad described difficult-to-understand spoken language produced by people with illness. However, in recent years, the expression has come to simply mean difficult-to-understand language. Now, let’s move on to the main course — the sandwich. You can make a sandwich with anything — meat, cheese, vegetables, fish etc. Just put them between two pieces of bread and you have a sandwich. You can even make a sandwich from … criticism (批评) ! A criticism sandwich is a way to soften the delivery of bad news. You put the criticism between two nice things — such as praise or approval. Here is an example: “Your performance in last week’s sales meeting was great! But I’ll need you to clean up the report. I saw a few things wrong with the numbers. Overall, the customer really loved your presentation” If you love sweets, you will love dessert. I am going to use my favorite dessert as an example—cookies! Some cookies are formed by hand and their shapes can be very different from one another. However, some people use a device called a cookie cutter, which makes every cookie have the same shape with little difference. And that gives us the expression “cookie-cutter”. There is nothing special, extraordinary, or different about things that are cookie cutter. 4. If she told me the story ________, she told me everything about the story. A. in a word salad B. with an alphabet soup C. from soup to nuts D. using a criticism sandwich 5. Which of the following is an alphabet soup? A. TV. B. Lab. C. BBQ. D. PRC. 6. What do we know about the houses in “The houses in my neighborhood are cookie-cutter houses”? A. They look elegant. B. They look quite similar. C. They are in the shape of cookies. D. They stand out in the neighborhood. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce an easy way to learn English. B. To share some commonly used English expressions. C. To explain a few food-related expressions in English. D. To call on people to learn interesting English expressions. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文借助开胃菜、主菜、甜品的分类，依次讲解了多个由食物衍生而来的英语习语，介绍它们的含义与实际使用场景。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“So, if you do something from soup to nuts you do everything from the beginning to the end.(因此，如果你做某事from soup to nuts，就表示从头到尾做完所有事。)”并结合题目可知，此处from soup to nuts表达她把故事从头到尾完整讲了一遍，符合语境。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When you have a collection of letters from the alphabet that stand for several words, we can call it alphabet soup.(由多个字母组合而成、用来代表多个单词的缩写，就可以被称作alphabet soup。)”以及举例“COO for Chief Operating Officer、MBA for a Master of Business Administration”可知，PRC是国家名称缩写，符合该定义，其余选项均不属于多单词组合缩写。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, some people use a device called a cookie cutter, which makes every cookie have the same shape with little difference. And that gives us the expression “cookie-cutter”. There is nothing special, extraordinary, or different about things that are cookie cutter.(然而，有些人会使用一种叫做曲奇模具的工具，用它做出的每块饼干造型都一模一样、毫无差别。由此便衍生出了短语cookie-cutter。如果用这个词形容事物，就表示它毫无特色、平淡无奇、千篇一律。)”可知，“The houses in my neighborhood are cookie-cutter houses”这句话里指房屋外观都十分相似。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Like most languages, English is filled with food expressions.(和大多数语言一样，英语中有许多和食物相关的表达。)”结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲解了几个源自食物的英语短语及用法。 C In September 2023, NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope made an exciting discovery — a distant planet named K2-18b, located 120 light-years away, showed strange gas signals in its air that might be linked to ocean life. This marks the first time scientists have found possible signs of alien life using telescope data. The telescope detected a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the planet’s air mixture. On Earth, this gas is only made by tiny ocean plants called phytoplankton. “It’s like smelling seaweed on another planet, “explained Dr Nikku Madhusudhan, an astronomer from Cambridge University. The findings were shared in a famous science journal. How did scientists do this? The Webb telescope used a “color analysis method”. When K2-18b passed in front of its star, the telescope studied how starlight changed as it filtered (渗入) through the planet’s air — similar to how sunlight creates rainbows. Different chemicals leave unique “color fingerprints”. After checking 278 times, scientists finally spotted DMS clues in the messy data. But experts warn this isn’t confirmed yet. “We might need 10 more years of observations to be sure,” said lead researcher professor Pierre-Olivier Lagage. While volcanoes could sometimes produce similar gas, K2-18b’s conditions make life more likely. The planet sits in the “Goldilocks zone” where temperatures allow liquid water, and earlier studies suggest it’s covered by a giant ocean. NASA plans to launch a new telescope in the 2030s to study chemicals on such planets in detail. China’s upcoming Xuntian Space Telescope will also join the search. “If we confirm this is truly alien life,” said professor Lagage, “it will completely change how we see our place in space.” For now, the discovery has sparked global excitement. K2-18b’s data is stored on a special hard drive at the Space Telescope Science Institute, waiting for future scientists to unlock more secrets. As Dr Madhusudhan put it, “We went looking for starlight patterns and found a cosmic mystery that could rewrite biology textbooks.” 8. What is dimethyl sulfide (DMS) known to come from on Earth? A. Ocean plants. B. Space radiation. C. Rock formations. D. Underwater volcanoes. 9. The underlined phrase “Goldilocks zone” in Paragraph 4 most likely means ________. A. places full of precious metals B. zones dangerous for spacecraft C. regions suitable for liquid water D. areas with extreme temperatures 10. Why do scientists need more observations of K2-18b? A. To compare it with other ocean planets. B. To develop better color analysis methods. C. To measure its exact distance from Earth. D. To confirm if non-living sources create DMS. 11. What could be the best title of the passage? A. How Scientists Analyze Star Color Patterns. B. Possible Signs of Life Found in Planet’s Air. C. Volcano Activity Discovered on Distant Planet. D. New Telescope Launched to Study Alien Oceans. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了NASA的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜在距离地球120光年的行星K2-18b大气中探测到可能与海洋生命相关的气体信号，并指出这一发现仍需进一步观测确认。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“On Earth, this gas is only made by tiny ocean plants called phytoplankton.(在地球上，这种气体仅由称为浮游植物的微小海洋植物产生。)”可知，二甲基硫醚在地球上来自海洋植物。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The planet sits in the “Goldilocks zone” where temperatures allow liquid water, and earlier studies suggest it’s covered by a giant ocean. (这颗行星位于“Goldilocks zone”，那里的温度允许液态水存在，早期的研究表明，它被一个巨大的海洋覆盖。)”可知，该短语指适宜液态水存在的区域。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“We might need 10 more years of observations to be sure(我们可能需要再观测10年才能确定)”和“While volcanoes could sometimes produce similar gas, K2-18b’s conditions make life more likely.(虽然火山有时也能产生类似气体，但K2-18b的条件使生命更有可能。)”可知，需要更多观测是为了确认非生命来源是否也会产生DMS。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要报道了在行星K2-18b大气中发现可能与生命相关的二甲基硫醚气体，即发现了可能的外星生命迹象。因此B项“Possible Signs of Life Found in Planet’s Air(在行星大气中发现可能的生命迹象)”作为标题最合适。 D Is there really a timeless classic? Recently, historian Rochelle Gurstein argued in her book that what seemed “written in stone” was actually “written in water”. In other words, a timeless classic is just a matter of creation, and classics come and go. What is seen as a classic change with people’s tastes, making it hard to praise any one artwork. History shows that artists’ reputations (名声) rise and fall, forgotten artists are rediscovered, and views on greatness change often. For instance, Johann Bach, the master of classical music, was unknown during his lifetime. His Baroque style conflicted with the music changes of his time, as the complex Baroque music was being replaced by simpler classical forms. After he died in 1750, Bach’s music fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, reintroduced his genius to a new generation in the 1820s. Changing tastes, new trends and critics’ (评论家) opinions shape how we see art, but art itself has also been developing. Claude Monet, a French painter and a key figure in the Impressionist movement, was once laughed by critics for his unique style. His unique way of painting completely turned away from the popular style of realism at the time, which focused on accurate images. However, Impressionism later became one of the most influential art styles in western history. Even though Gurstein disagrees, some cultural theorists believe that classics contain universal values. They argue that what makes a classic timeless is its ability to connect with all people, having nothing to do with the time period, which gives it lasting importance even as the world changes. To quote literary critic Charles Augustine Sainte-Beuve, a true classic “is an author who has discovered some moral and clear truth...who has spoken to all in his own unique style”. “Whether ‘timeless classics’ exist or not, as long as we keep discussing what makes a classic today, it will remain a part of our culture,” the Economist commented. The real threat to classic works is not different viewpoints — it’s silence. 12. What can be inferred about views on greatness in paragraph 2? A. They are often revised. B. They are widely accepted. C. They are hardly questioned. D. They are easily understood. 13. What can be learned about Johann Bach from paragraph 3? A. His style was behind his time. B. His music was simple and classical. C. His influence was gone with his death. D. His work was rediscovered in later years. 14. Why does the author mention Claude Monet and Impressionism? A. To highlight how art changes. B. To suggest realism is outdated. C. To compare Impressionism with classical art. D. To show how Impressionism shaped western art. 15. What is considered the real threat to classic works? A. The rise of new art forms. B. A variety of opinions. C. A lack of discussion. D. The influence of critics’ ideas. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】主要围绕是否存在永恒经典展开讨论，结合多个艺术案例，阐述大众审美与艺术评价会随时代发生改变。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“History shows that artists’ reputations (名声) rise and fall, forgotten artists are rediscovered, and views on greatness change often.(历史表明，艺术家的名声起起落落，被遗忘的艺术家会重新被发掘，人们对于杰出作品的看法也经常发生改变。)”可知，文中明确指出人们对优秀艺术作品的评价时常发生变动，这意味着相关观点会不断被修正。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Johann Bach, the master of classical music, was unknown during his lifetime. His Baroque style conflicted with the music changes of his time, as the complex Baroque music was being replaced by simpler classical forms. After he died in 1750, Bach’s music fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, reintroduced his genius to a new generation in the 1820s.(古典音乐大师约翰·巴赫在世时无人知晓。他的巴洛克风格与当时的音乐变革相悖，繁复的巴洛克音乐正被简约的古典乐形式取代。巴赫在1750年离世后，他的音乐渐渐不再流行，直到19世纪20年代，德国作曲家费利克斯·门德尔松将他的才华重新介绍给新一代人。)”可知，巴赫生前默默无闻，离世后作品一度被冷落，多年后才被后人重新发掘推广。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Changing tastes, new trends and critics’ (评论家) opinions shape how we see art, but art itself has also been developing. Claude Monet, a French painter and a key figure in the Impressionist movement, was once laughed by critics for his unique style. His unique way of painting completely turned away from the popular style of realism at the time, which focused on accurate images. However, Impressionism later became one of the most influential art styles in western history.(不断变化的品味、新潮流以及评论家的看法影响着我们看待艺术的方式，而艺术本身也在不断发展。法国画家、印象派代表人物克劳德·莫奈曾因其独特风格遭到评论家嘲讽，他的作画方式完全背离了当时盛行的、注重画面逼真的写实主义。但后来印象派成为了西方历史上最具影响力的艺术风格之一。)”可知，段落首句点明艺术处在持续发展变化之中，作者列举莫奈与印象派从饱受质疑到风靡世界的经历，就是以此为例来印证艺术形式与地位会随时代发生改变。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““Whether ‘timeless classics’ exist or not, as long as we keep discussing what makes a classic today, it will remain a part of our culture,” the Economist commented. The real threat to classic works is not different viewpoints — it’s silence. (《经济学人》评论道：“无论‘永恒经典’是否存在，只要我们持续探讨何为当下的经典，经典就会一直成为我们文化的一部分。”经典作品真正的威胁并非各异的观点，而是无人问津。)”可知，不同看法并不会损害经典，真正的隐患是人们不再关注、探讨经典。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Losing something can be one of the most frustrating (令人沮丧的) things. The keys, phone, or wallet must be somewhere — you just had them a few minutes ago! ____16____ Whatever the case may be, there must be a better way to find them than running around in circles, getting more and more upset. One of the classic things people do when they’re in a rush and trying to find a lost object is to keep checking the same places repeatedly. ____17____ Instead, try searching systematically. Calm down first and allow your brain to think logically (有逻辑地). Where would it make sense for the item to be? When was the last time you used it? Most items aren’t actually lost, but are simply misplaced. If you’ve looked around for the lost item and still haven’t found it, perhaps it’s because your home is a bit messy. Then take a few minutes’ break from the search to tidy up. ____18____ When you are stressed and have searched your house from top to bottom many times, you might be in a state of blindness where you can’t even see the things that are in front of you. ____19____ They will not only offer moral support but also be able to look for the item with a fresh set of eyes. Plus, it is always nice to have someone there to celebrate with you when you finally find it. ____20____ If your music is playing and there is a lot going on, it can be distracting and make it harder to focus. A peaceful environment helps calm your thoughts, keeps you focused, and makes it easier to find what you’re looking for. A. Another great tip is to keep things quiet. B. Having a friend come help can be a lifesaver. C. But you will definitely thank yourself for doing so. D. Moreover, going digital can make your life a bit easier. E. This doesn’t work and only makes the process more upsetting. F. Or perhaps you’ve lost something you haven’t seen in a while. G. Clean up without stress, and you might find what you’re looking for. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了寻找失物的多种实用方法，包括有条理搜寻、整理环境、找人帮忙以及保持环境安静。 【16题详解】 由上文“The keys, phone, or wallet must be somewhere — you just had them a few minutes ago!(钥匙、手机或是钱包肯定就在附近，几分钟前你还拿着它们！)”可知，前文列举刚遗失物品的情况，空格处补充另一种遗失物品的情形。F项“Or perhaps you’ve lost something you haven’t seen in a while.(又或许你弄丢了许久未见的物品。)”符合语境，有承上作用。 【17题详解】 由上文“One of the classic things people do when they’re in a rush and trying to find a lost object is to keep checking the same places repeatedly.(人们匆忙找寻失物时，常会反复查看同一个地方，这是很常见的情况。)”以及下文“Instead, try searching systematically.(相反，试着有条理地搜寻。)”可知，空格处指出这种做法没有效果。E项“This doesn’t work and only makes the process more upsetting.(这种方法行不通，只会让寻找的过程更加心烦。)”符合语境，其中This指代上文反复查找同一地点的行为，有承上作用。 【18题详解】 由上文“Then take a few minutes’ break from the search to tidy up.(那就停下寻找，花几分钟整理一下。)”可知，空格处说明整理的作用。G项“Clean up without stress, and you might find what you’re looking for.(从容地整理，或许就能找到你要找的东西。)”符合语境，承接上文整理的建议，有承上作用。 【19题详解】 由下文“They will not only offer moral support but also be able to look for the item with a fresh set of eyes.(他们不仅能给予精神支持，还能以全新的视角帮忙寻找物品。)”可知，空格处建议找朋友帮忙。B项“Having a friend come help can be a lifesaver.(找朋友来帮忙会大有帮助。)”符合语境，总领下文内容，有启下作用。 【20题详解】 由下文“If your music is playing and there is a lot going on, it can be distracting and make it harder to focus.(如果你的音乐正在播放，并且有很多事情发生，它可能会分散注意力，使你更难集中注意力。)”可知，本段建议保持环境安静。A项“Another great tip is to keep things quiet.(另一个实用小技巧是保持环境安静。)”符合语境，总领本段主旨，有启下作用。 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分分，满分15分) 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出适合填入对应空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was excited to experience a Boston winter.

Growing up, she was my hero and companion. Every weekend, she would take me on exciting adventures. Whether it was exploring the nearby woods or visiting the local zoo, our weekends were filled with laughter and joy. Little did I know that one of our outings would become a memorable lesson in kindness and bravery. When I was five, a crucial moment in our relationship occurred: Lily learned how to ride a bicycle. “I can do this!” she exclaimed (大声说) one sunny Saturday morning. With her newly acquired skills, she decided to take me on a bike ride to the nearby park. The sun shone brightly in a clear blue sky, and a gentle wind swept through the leaves, creating a perfect day for an adventure. Lily packed a colorful backpack with my favorite snacks — “Chocolate cookies, sweets, and don’t forget your toy dinosaur!” — and added my beloved toy for company. As we set off, I felt a mix of excitement and curiosity. Lily’s laughter filled the air as she rode the bike, her long hair flowing in the wind. I couldn’t help but join her joy, singing silly songs at the top of my lungs. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star!” I sang, my voice echoing in the quiet neighborhood. The world felt peaceful and alive, and I was certain that nothing could ruin this perfect day. However, as we approached a sharp turn, the unexpected happened. Just as we were about to turn, a motorcycle sped by, and a young man, later known as Jake, rushed past us. “Whoa!” Lily shouted. Still mastering her cycling skills, she reacted quickly to avoid a crash, but in doing so, she lost her balance. In a heart-stopping moment, we fell off the bike and collapsed to the ground, the bike crashing beside us. The impact was sudden, and a sharp pain shot through my leg. I let out a loud cry, tears streaming down my cheeks. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Lily, in shock and panic, rushed to my side. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jake then offered to take us on his motorcycle to a nearby hospital. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Lily, in shock and panic, rushed to my side. Her own leg was badly hurt as well, but her focus was on me. “I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry!” she repeated, pulling me into her arms. Just then, the motorcycle rider stopped and approached us. His eyes widened with concern as he assessed the situation. “I’m really sorry! Are you both okay?” he asked, kneeling beside us. Noticing our injuries, he quickly introduced himself as Jake and suggested we go to the hospital to treat our wounds. Jake then offered to take us on his motorcycle to a nearby hospital. A nurse cleaned our scratches and wrapped our legs while Jake entertained me with stories about his own childhood adventures. The kind man stayed with us, ensuring we both received the care we needed. After our treatment, we left the hospital and waved goodbye to Jake, who even promised to check on us later. This experience turned out to be a mix of joy and pain, but I learned that with love and support we could face anything together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者与姐姐的冒险经历为线索展开。作者一直崇拜大自己十岁的姐姐Lily，一次姐姐学会骑车后带作者去公园，途中遭遇意外，两人摔倒在地，作者腿部剧痛，不禁大声哭泣。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“Lily又惊又慌，冲到我身边。”可知，第一段可描写Lily不顾自身伤势安慰作者，摩托车骑手Jake停下道歉，查看二人的伤情后提议去医院。 ②由第二段句首内容“Jake随后主动提出骑摩托车送我们去附近的医院。”可知，第二段可描写Jake用摩托车送二人去医院，护士清理伤口并包扎，Jake讲故事逗作者，陪伴二人直到治疗结束，二人挥手告别Jake，作者从中领悟到爱与支持的力量。 2.续写线索：摔倒受伤——Lily安慰作者—— 骑手Jake致歉 ——Jake送医 ——医护处理伤口——Jake陪伴照顾——告别Jake并领悟道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach/get close to ②拉入怀中：pull into one’s arms/draw into one’s embrace/take into one’s hug ③评估情况：assess the situation/evaluate the circumstances/judge the state of affairs 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness/delight ②痛苦：pain/suffering/anguish 【点睛】【高分句型1】After our treatment, we left the hospital and waved goodbye to Jake, who even promised to check on us later.

The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring. As is known, it is a time to worship (敬奉) ancestors. However, here are several things you may not know about Clear and Bright. Spring Outings Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature. As trees turn green, flowers blossom, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to appreciate the beauty of nature. Flying Kites Flying kites is an activity favored by many Chinese during the Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the daytime but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be chased away by doing this. Cuju Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs plugged in it. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival. Feasting on Qingtuan In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on the Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. In order to make the cakes, people mash (捣碎) Ay Tsao (艾草) to squeeze juice from it and mix the flour and juice to a paste. Then they put fillings into the paste and steam them. Pretty and delicate, qingtuan has a special flavor. 1. Why are kites allowed to fly freely during Clear and Bright? A. To admire the beauty of nature. B. To send information to the warriors. C. To wish good luck and hope no diseases. D. To show personal taste and preference. 2. What can we know about Clear and Bright? A. It promises the beginning of the farming. B. It is right after the Tomb-Sweeping Day. C. All plants would revive on this very day. D. People must eat a green cake and fly kites. 3. Which of the following can be the best title? A. A Time to Enjoy Nature. B. An Important Family Occasion. C. Traditions on Clear and Bright. D. Clear and Bright: A Feast for Eyes. B Like most languages, English is filled with food expressions. Today we will start with two appetizers (开胃菜) , continue with the main course, and finish with dessert. In other words, we will take you from soup to nuts, or from the beginning to the end. With many meals, soup comes first and nuts come last. So, if you do something from soup to nuts you do everything from the beginning to the end. Our first appetizer today is alphabet soup. When you have a collection of letters from the alphabet that stand for several words, we can call it alphabet soup. These can be the letters that show a job, such as COO for Chief Operating Officer. They could also be letters that show someone’s education, like an MBA for a Master of Business Administration. The next appetizer is salad. A salad usually has vegetables mixed with cheese, egg, meat, nuts, or, sometimes, fruit. Well, when we have a mixture of words or phrases that are difficult to understand, we can call it word salad. In the past, word salad described difficult-to-understand spoken language produced by people with illness. However, in recent years, the expression has come to simply mean difficult-to-understand language. Now, let’s move on to the main course — the sandwich. You can make a sandwich with anything — meat, cheese, vegetables, fish etc. Just put them between two pieces of bread and you have a sandwich. You can even make a sandwich from … criticism (批评) ! A criticism sandwich is a way to soften the delivery of bad news. You put the criticism between two nice things — such as praise or approval. Here is an example: “Your performance in last week’s sales meeting was great! But I’ll need you to clean up the report. I saw a few things wrong with the numbers. Overall, the customer really loved your presentation” If you love sweets, you will love dessert. I am going to use my favorite dessert as an example—cookies! Some cookies are formed by hand and their shapes can be very different from one another. However, some people use a device called a cookie cutter, which makes every cookie have the same shape with little difference. And that gives us the expression “cookie-cutter”. There is nothing special, extraordinary, or different about things that are cookie cutter. 4. If she told me the story ________, she told me everything about the story. A. in a word salad B. with an alphabet soup C. from soup to nuts D. using a criticism sandwich 5. Which of the following is an alphabet soup? A. TV. B. Lab. C. BBQ. D. PRC. 6. What do we know about the houses in “The houses in my neighborhood are cookie-cutter houses”? A. They look elegant. B. They look quite similar. C. They are in the shape of cookies. D. They stand out in the neighborhood. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce an easy way to learn English. B. To share some commonly used English expressions. C. To explain a few food-related expressions in English. D. To call on people to learn interesting English expressions. C In September 2023, NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope made an exciting discovery — a distant planet named K2-18b, located 120 light-years away, showed strange gas signals in its air that might be linked to ocean life. This marks the first time scientists have found possible signs of alien life using telescope data. The telescope detected a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the planet’s air mixture. On Earth, this gas is only made by tiny ocean plants called phytoplankton. “It’s like smelling seaweed on another planet, “explained Dr Nikku Madhusudhan, an astronomer from Cambridge University. The findings were shared in a famous science journal. How did scientists do this? The Webb telescope used a “color analysis method”. When K2-18b passed in front of its star, the telescope studied how starlight changed as it filtered (渗入) through the planet’s air — similar to how sunlight creates rainbows. Different chemicals leave unique “color fingerprints”. After checking 278 times, scientists finally spotted DMS clues in the messy data. But experts warn this isn’t confirmed yet. “We might need 10 more years of observations to be sure,” said lead researcher professor Pierre-Olivier Lagage. While volcanoes could sometimes produce similar gas, K2-18b’s conditions make life more likely. The planet sits in the “Goldilocks zone” where temperatures allow liquid water, and earlier studies suggest it’s covered by a giant ocean. NASA plans to launch a new telescope in the 2030s to study chemicals on such planets in detail. China’s upcoming Xuntian Space Telescope will also join the search. “If we confirm this is truly alien life,” said professor Lagage, “it will completely change how we see our place in space.” For now, the discovery has sparked global excitement. K2-18b’s data is stored on a special hard drive at the Space Telescope Science Institute, waiting for future scientists to unlock more secrets. As Dr Madhusudhan put it, “We went looking for starlight patterns and found a cosmic mystery that could rewrite biology textbooks.” 8. What is dimethyl sulfide (DMS) known to come from on Earth? A. Ocean plants. B. Space radiation. C. Rock formations. D. Underwater volcanoes. 9. The underlined phrase “Goldilocks zone” in Paragraph 4 most likely means ________. A. places full of precious metals B. zones dangerous for spacecraft C. regions suitable for liquid water D. areas with extreme temperatures 10. Why do scientists need more observations of K2-18b? A. To compare it with other ocean planets. B. To develop better color analysis methods. C. To measure its exact distance from Earth. D. To confirm if non-living sources create DMS. 11. What could be the best title of the passage? A. How Scientists Analyze Star Color Patterns. B. Possible Signs of Life Found in Planet’s Air. C. Volcano Activity Discovered on Distant Planet. D. New Telescope Launched to Study Alien Oceans. D Is there really a timeless classic? Recently, historian Rochelle Gurstein argued in her book that what seemed “written in stone” was actually “written in water”. In other words, a timeless classic is just a matter of creation, and classics come and go. What is seen as a classic change with people’s tastes, making it hard to praise any one artwork. History shows that artists’ reputations (名声) rise and fall, forgotten artists are rediscovered, and views on greatness change often. For instance, Johann Bach, the master of classical music, was unknown during his lifetime. His Baroque style conflicted with the music changes of his time, as the complex Baroque music was being replaced by simpler classical forms. After he died in 1750, Bach’s music fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, reintroduced his genius to a new generation in the 1820s. Changing tastes, new trends and critics’ (评论家) opinions shape how we see art, but art itself has also been developing. Claude Monet, a French painter and a key figure in the Impressionist movement, was once laughed by critics for his unique style. His unique way of painting completely turned away from the popular style of realism at the time, which focused on accurate images. However, Impressionism later became one of the most influential art styles in western history. Even though Gurstein disagrees, some cultural theorists believe that classics contain universal values. They argue that what makes a classic timeless is its ability to connect with all people, having nothing to do with the time period, which gives it lasting importance even as the world changes. To quote literary critic Charles Augustine Sainte-Beuve, a true classic “is an author who has discovered some moral and clear truth...who has spoken to all in his own unique style”. “Whether ‘timeless classics’ exist or not, as long as we keep discussing what makes a classic today, it will remain a part of our culture,” the Economist commented. The real threat to classic works is not different viewpoints — it’s silence. 12. What can be inferred about views on greatness in paragraph 2? A. They are often revised. B. They are widely accepted.

The keys, phone, or wallet must be somewhere — you just had them a few minutes ago! ____16____ Whatever the case may be, there must be a better way to find them than running around in circles, getting more and more upset. One of the classic things people do when they’re in a rush and trying to find a lost object is to keep checking the same places repeatedly. ____17____ Instead, try searching systematically. Calm down first and allow your brain to think logically (有逻辑地). Where would it make sense for the item to be? When was the last time you used it?

Then take a few minutes’ break from the search to tidy up. ____18____ When you are stressed and have searched your house from top to bottom many times, you might be in a state of blindness where you can’t even see the things that are in front of you. ____19____ They will not only offer moral support but also be able to look for the item with a fresh set of eyes. Plus, it is always nice to have someone there to celebrate with you when you finally find it. ____20____ If your music is playing and there is a lot going on, it can be distracting and make it harder to focus.

Having a friend come help can be a lifesaver. C. But you will definitely thank yourself for doing so. D. Moreover, going digital can make your life a bit easier. E.

Growing up, she was my hero and companion. Every weekend, she would take me on exciting adventures. Whether it was exploring the nearby woods or visiting the local zoo, our weekends were filled with laughter and joy. Little did I know that one of our outings would become a memorable lesson in kindness and bravery. When I was five, a crucial moment in our relationship occurred: Lily learned how to ride a bicycle. “I can do this!” she exclaimed (大声说) one sunny Saturday morning. With her newly acquired skills, she decided to take me on a bike ride to the nearby park. The sun shone brightly in a clear blue sky, and a gentle wind swept through the leaves, creating a perfect day for an adventure. Lily packed a colorful backpack with my favorite snacks — “Chocolate cookies, sweets, and don’t forget your toy dinosaur!” — and added my beloved toy for company. As we set off, I felt a mix of excitement and curiosity. Lily’s laughter filled the air as she rode the bike, her long hair flowing in the wind. I couldn’t help but join her joy, singing silly songs at the top of my lungs. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star!” I sang, my voice echoing in the quiet neighborhood. The world felt peaceful and alive, and I was certain that nothing could ruin this perfect day. However, as we approached a sharp turn, the unexpected happened. Just as we were about to turn, a motorcycle sped by, and a young man, later known as Jake, rushed past us. “Whoa!” Lily shouted. Still mastering her cycling skills, she reacted quickly to avoid a crash, but in doing so, she lost her balance. In a heart-stopping moment, we fell off the bike and collapsed to the ground, the bike crashing beside us. The impact was sudden, and a sharp pain shot through my leg. I let out a loud cry, tears streaming down my cheeks. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Lily, in shock and panic, rushed to my side. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jake then offered to take us on his motorcycle to a nearby hospital. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
