阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
While many famous buildings were constructed by men in memory of their beloved ones — from India’s Taj Mahal to Italy’s Torrechiara Castle — there are few such monuments built by women. Here are three sites around the world where women have dared to show their love.
The Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore
When Queen Victoria’s 42-year-old husband, Prince Albert, died suddenly from illness in 1861, the queen was heart-broken. So soon after Albert’s death, she began work on a tomb at Frogmore, a place near Windsor Castle. It wasn’t completed until 1871. Albert was laid to rest here and she was buried next to him in 1901, a departure (偏离) from the royal tradition of being buried at Westminster Abbey or St. George’s Chapel in Windsor.
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
In the Turkish seaside city of Bodrum, tourists can see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. This tomb was built by Queen Artemisia in 353 BC for her husband, Mausolus, a ruler of ancient Turkey.
Humayun’s Tomb
An inspiration for the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb in east Delhi, India, is the first large building made in Mughal architectural style — a mixture of Indian, Persian, and Central Asian design elements.
The tomb is a treasure that tells the story of a king and the love of his wife. After Humayun, ruler of India’s Mughal dynasty, died due to a fall in 1556 at age 47, his wife, Bega Begum, built this tomb. Begum was so attached to her husband and his memory that she looked after the tomb as long as she lived.
1. Where is Queen Victoria buried?
A. At Frogmore. B. At Westminster Abbey.
C. At Windsor Castle. D. At St. George’s Chapel.
2. Which is listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
A. Prince Albert’s tomb. B. King Humayun’s tomb.
C. King Mausolus’s tomb. D. Queen Artemisia’s tomb.
3. What do Taj Mahal and Humayun’s Tomb probably have in common?
A. They were built by women. B. They have similar styles.
C. They were completed in 1556. D. They were palaces for kings.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍三座由女性为爱修建的纪念陵墓,讲述它们的建造背景、地理位置与相关历史故事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore部分中的“Albert was laid to rest here and she was buried next to him in 1901, a departure (偏离) from the royal tradition of being buried at Westminster Abbey or St. George’s Chapel in Windsor.(阿尔伯特安葬于此,维多利亚女王在1901年也葬在他身旁,这打破了王室葬于威斯敏斯特教堂或温莎圣乔治教堂的传统。)”可知,维多利亚女王安葬在弗罗格莫尔。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Mausoleum of Halicarnassus部分中的“In the Turkish seaside city of Bodrum, tourists can see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. This tomb was built by Queen Artemisia in 353 BC for her husband, Mausolus, a ruler of ancient Turkey.(在土耳其海滨城市博德鲁姆,游客能看到古代世界七大奇迹之一的摩索拉斯陵墓。这座陵墓由阿尔泰米西娅女王在公元前353年为她的丈夫、古土耳其统治者摩索拉斯所建。)”可知,摩索拉斯国王的陵墓是古代世界七大奇迹之一。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据Humayun’s Tomb部分中的“An inspiration for the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb in east Delhi, India, is the first large building made in Mughal architectural style — a mixture of Indian, Persian, and Central Asian design elements.(印度德里东部的胡马雍陵是泰姬陵的灵感来源,它是首座采用莫卧儿建筑风格的大型建筑,融合了印度、波斯和中亚的设计元素。)”可知,胡马雍陵是泰姬陵的建筑灵感来源,且胡马雍陵采用了莫卧儿建筑风格,由此可推断这两座建筑在风格上具有相似之处。

How many people who have worked for NASA were inspired by watching the Apollo missions as children? According to Dennis Dillman, a retired NASA engineer, there are a lot.
“About half of us were like me,” he says. “We grew up being space fans, watching every minute of the Apollo missions that we could.”
Dillman still remembers cutting articles about astronauts from his hometown paper, Wichita Eagle, and checking out every space book in the local library. Somehow, he jokes, he always managed to get sick on the day of the lunar landings, so he could stay home and watch them on TV.
“I think my mom knew,” Dillman adds.
As the generation that grew up watching the Apollo missions approach retirement age, they’re sure to make up a smaller share of NASA’s workforce. But they are not the only people that are deeply influenced by the space agency’s earlier lunar explorations. Among the younger NASA scientists and engineers working on Artemis are those who are carrying on a passion inspired by their parents and teachers.
Noah Petro — a geologist at Goddard — was born in 1978, six years after the last Apollo mission. It wasn’t until a visit to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island, New York, when he was around seven or eight that his father said something life-changing. Petro remembers his dad, Denis Petro, pointing to a display of the life support system backpacks that the Apollo astronauts wore and saying, “See that thing there? I built that.”
“That was jaw-dropping to me,” Petro says.
Petro’s dad was a neurologist. But he’d worked as an engineer at NASA building part of the suit for the astronauts before Noah was born. Learning that his dad had worked on Apollo played a key role in Noah’s becoming a lunar geologist for NASA.
4. Dennis Dillman mentions his mother most probably to show his ________.
A. regret B. talent C. gratitude D. sadness
5. When did the Apollo missions end?
A. In 1986. B. In 1982. C. In 1978. D. In 1972.
6. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “jaw-dropping” in paragraph 7?
A. Untrue. B. Surprising. C. Obvious. D. Satisfying.
7. What has inspired Noah Petro to work for NASA?
A. His father’s achievement. B. Books about Apollo missions.
C. His teacher’s encouragement. D. TV programs on lunar landings.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了阿波罗任务对NASA工作人员的深远影响。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三、四段中“Somehow, he jokes, he always managed to get sick on the day of the lunar landings, so he could stay home and watch them on TV. “I think my mom knew,” Dillman adds. (不知怎的,他开玩笑说,每次登月那天他总能生病,这样就能待在家里看电视直播。“我觉得我妈知道,”Dillman补充道。)”可知,Dillman每次登月日都假装生病来看直播,而母亲早已看穿却没有拆穿,默许了他的小心思。他提起母亲,是为了表达对母亲理解与包容的感激之情。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Noah Petro — a geologist at Goddard — was born in 1978, six years after the last Apollo mission. (Noah Petro——戈达德中心的一位地质学家——出生于1978年,比最后一次阿波罗任务晚了六年。)”可知,最后一次阿波罗任务发生在1978−6=1972年。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段中父亲指着阿波罗宇航员所穿的生命支持系统背包说“See that thing there? I built that. (看到那个东西了吗?那是我造的。)”以及第八段“Petro's dad was a neurologist. But he'd worked as an engineer at NASA building part of the suit for the astronauts before Noah was born. (Petro的父亲是一名神经科医生,但在Noah出生前曾在NASA做工程师,为宇航员制造宇航服的一部分。)”可知,Noah得知父亲竟然参与制造了阿波罗宇航员的装备,感到极为震惊。“jaw-dropping”意为“令人瞠目结舌的”,同“Surprising”意义一致。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Learning that his dad had worked on Apollo played a key role in Noah's becoming a lunar geologist for NASA. (得知父亲曾参与阿波罗项目,这在Noah成为NASA月球地质学家的过程中起到了关键作用。)”可知,激励Noah Petro为NASA工作的是父亲在阿波罗项目中的成就。
C
Late every summer, fat polar bears gather outside Kaktovik, the only settlement in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, to feast on whale bodies left behind by hunters. It is an attraction that once brought 1,000 or more tourists each day to the town. In 2021, however, the government stopped the polar bear tourism due to concerns about how tourists were affecting bear behavior and overrunning the tiny town with about 250 people.
Now, Kaktovik leaders are hoping to revive it, saying it could be worth millions to the local economy and give residents another source of income. “We definitely see the benefit for tourism,” said Charles Lampe, president of the Kaktovik Inupiat Corp, which owns 373 square kilometers of the reserve. “But it can’t be run like it was before.”
As far back as the early 1980s, anyone in Kaktovik with a boat and knowledge of the waters could take tourists out to watch the bears. When polar bears were declared a threatened species in 2008, tourism in Kaktovik grew unexpectedly fast, since many people wanted to see the creatures before they would die out by the end of the century.
As tourists flooded in, the government required tour operators to apply for permits which drove the locals out of the industry. Before long, large out-of-town operators moved in and even more tourists were coming to Kaktovik during the six-week viewing season. The town’s hotels and restaurants also became unprofitable when large operators began flying tourists in from Fairbanks or Anchorage for day trips.
Kaktovik leaders are now in talks with the government to address the concerns and re-start the industry, perhaps as early as 2027. The government said in a statement that it’s working with Kaktovik “to ensure that any future opportunities are managed in a way that will properly deal with resource protection, visitor’s safety and residents’ concerns.”
8. What most probably led to the end of the polar bear tourism in 2021?
A. Lack of skilled guides. B. Bear attacks.
C. Extinction of polar bears. D. Overtourism.
9. What can we say about the polar bear tours in Kaktovik in the early 1980s?
A. They were managed by the government. B. They were run by out-of-town operators.
C. They were mainly organized by individuals. D. They were usually led by well-trained guides.
10. Which of the following can best describe the official permits?
A. They were very helpful for local economy.
B. They benefited the large companies greatly.
C. They required large operators to help the locals.
D. They did not allow locals to work in the industry.
11. What is the government’s attitude to Kaktovik leaders’ proposal?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了阿拉斯加这座小镇曾因观北极熊旅游闻名,2021 年因游客泛滥、干扰动物而被叫停。如今当地希望重启该产业增收,正与政府协商,力求规范运营。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 2021, however, the government stopped the polar bear tourism due to concerns about how tourists were affecting bear behavior and overrunning the tiny town with about 250 people.( 然而,2021年,由于担心游客对熊的行为造成影响,并使这座仅有约250名居民的小镇不堪重负,政府已停止了北极熊旅游活动。)”可知,最可能导致2021年北极熊旅游结束的原因是旅游过度。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“As far back as the early 1980s, anyone in Kaktovik with a boat and knowledge of the waters could take tourists out to watch the bears.( 早在20世纪80年代初,只要在卡科维克有船只并熟悉水域的人,就可以带游客出海观熊。)”可知,关于20世纪80年代初在卡科托维克的北极熊旅游活动主要由当地个人自发组织。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“As tourists flooded in, the government required tour operators to apply for permits which drove the locals out of the industry. Before long, large out-of-town operators moved in and even more tourists were coming to Kaktovik during the six-week viewing season.( 随着游客大量涌入,政府要求旅行社申请许可,导致当地居民纷纷退出旅游业。不久之后,外地大型运营商相继进入,使得在为期六周的观景季节期间,前往卡克托维克的游客数量进一步增加。)”可推知,官方许可证制度最终极大地惠及了大型公司。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Kaktovik leaders are now in talks with the government to address the concerns and re-start the industry, perhaps as early as 2027. The government said in a statement that it’s working with Kaktovik “to ensure that any future opportunities are managed in a way that will properly deal with resource protection, visitor’s safety and residents’ concerns.”(卡克托维克当地负责人目前正与政府磋商,以解决各方顾虑、重启相关产业,最快有望在 2027 年实现。政府在一份声明中表示,他们正与卡克托维克合作,“确保未来的发展机会能够妥善处理资源保护、游客安全以及当地居民的关切。”)”可推知,政府对卡科托维克领导人提议的态度是支持的。

Scientists have long identified four elements about apps or social media that hold children’s attention for as long as possible. Understanding them may help parents know how to avoid potential traps for their kids.
One of the elements is solitude. Studies have found that children who regularly use screens alone in their bedrooms have a higher risk of developing what psychologists call problematic usage. That is, they continue to use an app or play a game even when it damages their health. For example, the app may affect their sleep or friendships, but they still could not stop.
Another element is bottomlessness. Videos keep appearing on TikTok and YouTube. Photos, comments and likes keep popping up on Instagram. Apps have seemingly endless materials for kids to see, and they all show or play automatically. There’s no natural stopping point. So kids never feel finished or satisfied. That feeling grows even stronger with the third ingredient (成分) added into the mix: speed.
For social media, the speed at which kids can find “new” content has jumped with several technological advancements, including the invention of higher-speed internet and easy scroll (翻屏). So the faster kids can scroll and watch, the harder it is for them to pull away from an app. The speed can create a sense that they merge (合体) with the screen. In other words, they don’t know where they begin and the machine ends. The speed just pulls them into this flow.
The final ingredient is teasing. Here’s how teasing typically works: The app never gives kids what they are really looking for. It gives just enough to keep them attracted. This teasing gives kids the feeling that they’re going to get what they’re seeking soon. So they’ll be there all day trying to get that next big thing. This is perhaps the most important feature of the app.
With all these four elements, nearly everyone, not just the kids, will get addicted to the app or social media.
12. Which phenomenon can be described as solitude?
A. Playing alone. B. Offering endless rewards.
C. Responding quickly. D. Keeping users unsatisfied.
13. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Children. B. Videos. C. Programs. D. Apps.
14. What is probably the most addictive element about an app?
A. Solitude. B. Teasing. C. Speed. D. Bottomlessness.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A. To review a product. B. To warn teenagers.
C. To analyze the harm. D. To keep parents informed.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了应用程序或社交媒体吸引孩子注意力的四个元素,并指出理解这些元素有助于父母帮助孩子避免成瘾陷阱。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“One of the elements is solitude. Studies have found that children who regularly use screens alone in their bedrooms have a higher risk of developing what psychologists call problematic usage. (其中一个因素是独处。研究表明,儿童如果经常独自在卧室使用屏幕,就更容易出现心理学家所说的“问题性使用”风险。)”可知,“独自玩耍”的现象可归为独处。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“Apps have seemingly endless materials for kids to see, and they all show or play automatically. (应用程序有看似无穷无尽的材料供孩子们观看,而且它们都会自动显示或播放。)”可知,这是一个并列句,they指代前面分句的主语Apps“应用程序”,描述这些应用程序自动显示或播放其内容。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“This teasing gives kids the feeling that they’re going to get what they’re seeking soon. So they’ll be there all day trying to get that next big thing. This is perhaps the most important feature of the app. (这种引诱让孩子们觉得他们很快就会得到他们真正想要的东西。所以他们会整天待在那里,试图理解下一个大事。这也许是应用程序最重要的特征。)”可知,引诱是最易让人上瘾的元素。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Scientists have long identified four elements about apps or social media that hold children’s attention for as long as possible. Understanding them may help parents know how to avoid potential traps for their kids. (科学家长期以来已发现,有四个关于应用程序或社交媒体的要素能尽可能长时间地吸引儿童的注意力。了解这些因素有助于家长避免让孩子陷入潜在的陷阱。)”可知,文章开篇点明写作目的:帮助父母了解这些吸引儿童注意力的元素,从而保护孩子,随后具体分析四个元素,最终落脚于让父母知晓情况。

【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了创办读书会的四条建议:简化活动日程、明确办会初衷、挑选合适书目、补充作品背景,以此让读书会顺利开展、氛围活跃。
【16题详解】
此空为段落小标题,下文“Organizing a book club meeting can be more painful than you might expect. Our advice is that it’s really important to make sure that scheduling is easy.( 组织读书会会议可能会比你想象中更费心。我们的建议是,确保排期安排得轻松便捷非常重要。)”整段都在围绕“日程安排(scheduling)”展开,核心建议是“确保日程安排简单易行”,A选项“Make scheduling really easy(让安排变得非常简单 )”和该段主旨内容一致,为总结该段内容。
【17题详解】
前文“Our advice is that it’s really important to make sure that scheduling is easy.( 我们的建议是:确保排期安排得轻松便捷。)”提出“日程安排要简单”,后文“Then stick to the monthly schedule so that it’s super predictable when book clubs are happening.( 然后坚持每月固定的安排,这样读书会的活动就变得非常可预测。)”说“然后坚持每月的安排”,G选项“You can figure out a date each month that works for the book club at the beginning.( 你可以在一开始就为读书俱乐部确定每个月适合的日期。)”给出了具体的操作方法 ——“在一开始就确定每个月适合的日期”,形成了“总建议→具体步骤→后续要求”的完整逻辑链。
【18题详解】
后文“If it is about meeting new people, then folks can bring a new person to the book club at each meeting.( 如果是关于认识新朋友,那么人们可以在每次聚会时带一个新朋友来读书俱乐部。)”出现了结构完全一致的句子“If it is about meeting new people, then...”,说明此处也应是一个以“If”开头的条件句,说明不同的“意图(intention)”对应不同的做法。E 选项“If you want to expand your knowledge about a particular thing(如果你想扩展你对某件事的知识 )”与后文“then try to read more widely than you have previously done.( 那么就尝试比以前读得更广泛。)”语义衔接自然。
【19题详解】
前文“Don’t be afraid to pick something controversial (有争议的).( 不要害怕选择一些有争议的书。)”建议“不要害怕选择有争议的书”,F选项“It creates really great discussion because people like to do a little bit of debate.( 这会引发非常精彩的讨论,因为人们喜欢进行一点辩论。)”解释了这样做的好处 ——“有争议的内容会催生精彩的讨论,因为人们喜欢辩论”,完美承接上文。
【20题详解】
前文“For example, you can do some reading on the historical context of the book.( 例如,可以阅读一下这本书的历史背景。)”举例说明“可以了解书的历史背景”来提供语境,D选项“You can also listen to some interviews with the book’s author.( 你也可以收听一些书籍作者的访谈。)” 用“also”引出另一种提供语境的方法 ——“听作者的采访”,与前文的举例形成并列关系,共同支撑“Provide context”这一主题。

【解析】
【导语】介绍了美国一家大型科技公司进行的一项关于远程工作者之间交流方式的研究,研究表明闲聊可能会加强持续的关系。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意:根据一项在美国一家大型科技公司进行的新研究,试图促进远程员工之间的联系,简单的闲聊可能有助于加强长期关系。此处为形容词性物主代词its,修饰后面的名词短语remote workers,指代前文提到的“a large US tech company”。
【37题详解】
考查动词。句意:根据一项在美国一家大型科技公司进行的新研究,试图促进远程员工之间的联系,简单的闲聊可能有助于加强长期关系。情态动词might 后接动词原形,名词 strength(力量)的动词形式为 strengthen,意为“加强;巩固”。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:研究人员将近500名远程员工分为两组,让每个人与一个此前未知的伙伴进行电话交谈。副词修饰形容词unknown,表示“之前不认识的”,形容词 previous的副词形式为previously。
【39题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:其中一组仅被允许交换工作相关的信息,而另一组则被鼓励讨论与工作相关或无关的话题。此处为固定搭配be encouraged to do sth.,意为“被鼓励做某事”,不定式作主语补足语。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:两周后,参与者对伴侣的支持程度进行了评分,并表达了他们维持联系的兴趣。此处为可数名词复数形式participants作主语,指参与实验的所有员工,与后文的 their partners对应。
【41题详解】
考查动名词。句意:两周后,参与者对伴侣的支持程度进行了评分,并表达了他们维持联系的兴趣。介词in后接动名词作宾语,maintain的动名词形式为maintaining。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:随后进行了一项涉及面对面交流的后续实验。根据句意可知,此处为不定冠词泛指“一项后续实验”,follow-up以辅音音素开头,故用A,首字母需大写。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:结果在很大程度上与上述发现一致。此处为动词一般过去时,与全文实验的过去时态保持一致,mirror在此作动词,意为“反映;与……相似”。
【44题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:研究人员写道:“谈论工作之外的个人生活似乎很有用,因为它让人看起来更支持他人。分析句子可知,设空处引导宾语从句,关系词在从句中作does的宾语,指代“工作之外做的事情”,所以为连接代词what引导。
【45题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:这可能会导致更持久的联系。此处为固定搭配 lead to,意为“导致;带来”,后接名词短语 longer-lasting connections。

Thanks for your listening!
【答案】One possible version:
Hello everyone,
I firmly believe that learning English is still necessary, even with AI tools around.
First, huge amounts of information — news, tech, business information — are in English, which won’t change in the near future. Second, AI tools miss jokes, cultural meanings or subtle feelings. Have you tried translating a poem with an AI tool? It fails. Third, real communication is about emotions. No machine can truly replace laughing with a friend or comforting someone in their own language.
So let’s use AI as a tool, not a replacement. Keep learning English. It’s worth it.
Thanks for your listening!

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Li Na, a Chinese exchange student in the UK, felt a bit nervous when Mr. Smith asked each student to bring something that matters to them and share it with the class on Thursday. She sat in her seat quietly, thinking hard about what to bring. Suddenly, she remembered that the Lantern Festival happened to fall on next Friday. Her eyes lit up with excitement.
On Thursday, the classroom was filled with joy and laughter as students shared their beloved snacks and toys. When Li Na’s turn came, she rose, holding a wooden box. She opened it gently and took out a folded piece of red paper. With a few skillful folds and pulls, the paper magically turned into a beautiful lantern. She placed a candle inside and lit it carefully.
“What is it?” asked Emma, her deskmate. “It is amazing!”
Holding up the lantern, Li Na smiled and introduced the Lantern Festival — its traditions of hanging lanterns, guessing riddles (谜语), and eating sweet sticky rice balls called yuanxiao. “Red lanterns symbolize hope and reunion in Chinese culture,” she explained. “And this year, the festival happens to be on next Friday.”
Seeing how interested the students were, Mr. Smith walked over with a smile and said to Li Na, “Would you like to host a Lantern Festival party for the whole class next Friday night? I’m sure it will be a wonderful way to connect cultures.”
“I’d love to!” Li Na replied without hesitation.
Applause erupted in the classroom. But as she sat down, a little worry set in — how could she make the party really fun and unforgettable?

【答案】One possible version:
Li Na quickly realized the key was to get everyone involved in the preparation. So she announced to the whole class that volunteers were needed. To her delight, all the students raised their hands eagerly, their faces shining with enthusiasm. Greatly relieved, Li Na divided the students into two groups. One was led by her to make lanterns and riddles, and the other was led by Emma to prepare the ingredients and tools for making yuanxiao. Everyone set to work immediately, and by Friday afternoon, everything was ready.
The party took place as scheduled in the classroom. Varied red lanterns were used to decorate the room, creating a festive atmosphere. Guided by Li Na, the students made yuanxiao together. Soon, steaming bowls of yuanxiao were served, and everyone loved their handmade treats. The highlight was the riddle-guessing activity, which filled the classroom with laughter and cheers. Bathed in warm lantern light, the students shared not just food and fun, but a deep sense of connection that made the night truly unforgettable.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
While many famous buildings were constructed by men in memory of their beloved ones — from India’s Taj Mahal to Italy’s Torrechiara Castle — there are few such monuments built by women. Here are three sites around the world where women have dared to show their love.
The Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore
When Queen Victoria’s 42-year-old husband, Prince Albert, died suddenly from illness in 1861, the queen was heart-broken. So soon after Albert’s death, she began work on a tomb at Frogmore, a place near Windsor Castle. It wasn’t completed until 1871. Albert was laid to rest here and she was buried next to him in 1901, a departure (偏离) from the royal tradition of being buried at Westminster Abbey or St. George’s Chapel in Windsor.
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
In the Turkish seaside city of Bodrum, tourists can see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. This tomb was built by Queen Artemisia in 353 BC for her husband, Mausolus, a ruler of ancient Turkey.
Humayun’s Tomb
An inspiration for the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb in east Delhi, India, is the first large building made in Mughal architectural style — a mixture of Indian, Persian, and Central Asian design elements.
The tomb is a treasure that tells the story of a king and the love of his wife. After Humayun, ruler of India’s Mughal dynasty, died due to a fall in 1556 at age 47, his wife, Bega Begum, built this tomb. Begum was so attached to her husband and his memory that she looked after the tomb as long as she lived.
1. Where is Queen Victoria buried?
A. At Frogmore. B. At Westminster Abbey.
C. At Windsor Castle. D. At St. George’s Chapel.
2. Which is listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
A. Prince Albert’s tomb. B. King Humayun’s tomb.
C. King Mausolus’s tomb. D. Queen Artemisia’s tomb.
3. What do Taj Mahal and Humayun’s Tomb probably have in common?
A. They were built by women. B. They have similar styles.
C. They were completed in 1556. D. They were palaces for kings.
B
How many people who have worked for NASA were inspired by watching the Apollo missions as children? According to Dennis Dillman, a retired NASA engineer, there are a lot.
“About half of us were like me,” he says. “We grew up being space fans, watching every minute of the Apollo missions that we could.”
Dillman still remembers cutting articles about astronauts from his hometown paper, Wichita Eagle, and checking out every space book in the local library. Somehow, he jokes, he always managed to get sick on the day of the lunar landings, so he could stay home and watch them on TV.
“I think my mom knew,” Dillman adds.
As the generation that grew up watching the Apollo missions approach retirement age, they’re sure to make up a smaller share of NASA’s workforce. But they are not the only people that are deeply influenced by the space agency’s earlier lunar explorations. Among the younger NASA scientists and engineers working on Artemis are those who are carrying on a passion inspired by their parents and teachers.
Noah Petro — a geologist at Goddard — was born in 1978, six years after the last Apollo mission. It wasn’t until a visit to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island, New York, when he was around seven or eight that his father said something life-changing. Petro remembers his dad, Denis Petro, pointing to a display of the life support system backpacks that the Apollo astronauts wore and saying, “See that thing there? I built that.”
“That was jaw-dropping to me,” Petro says.
Petro’s dad was a neurologist. But he’d worked as an engineer at NASA building part of the suit for the astronauts before Noah was born. Learning that his dad had worked on Apollo played a key role in Noah’s becoming a lunar geologist for NASA.
4. Dennis Dillman mentions his mother most probably to show his ________.
A. regret B. talent C. gratitude D. sadness
5. When did the Apollo missions end?
A. In 1986. B. In 1982. C. In 1978. D. In 1972.
6. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “jaw-dropping” in paragraph 7?
A. Untrue. B. Surprising. C. Obvious. D. Satisfying.
7. What has inspired Noah Petro to work for NASA?
A. His father’s achievement. B. Books about Apollo missions.
C. His teacher’s encouragement. D. TV programs on lunar landings.
C
Late every summer, fat polar bears gather outside Kaktovik, the only settlement in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, to feast on whale bodies left behind by hunters. It is an attraction that once brought 1,000 or more tourists each day to the town. In 2021, however, the government stopped the polar bear tourism due to concerns about how tourists were affecting bear behavior and overrunning the tiny town with about 250 people.
Now, Kaktovik leaders are hoping to revive it, saying it could be worth millions to the local economy and give residents another source of income. “We definitely see the benefit for tourism,” said Charles Lampe, president of the Kaktovik Inupiat Corp, which owns 373 square kilometers of the reserve. “But it can’t be run like it was before.”
As far back as the early 1980s, anyone in Kaktovik with a boat and knowledge of the waters could take tourists out to watch the bears. When polar bears were declared a threatened species in 2008, tourism in Kaktovik grew unexpectedly fast, since many people wanted to see the creatures before they would die out by the end of the century.
As tourists flooded in, the government required tour operators to apply for permits which drove the locals out of the industry. Before long, large out-of-town operators moved in and even more tourists were coming to Kaktovik during the six-week viewing season. The town’s hotels and restaurants also became unprofitable when large operators began flying tourists in from Fairbanks or Anchorage for day trips.
Kaktovik leaders are now in talks with the government to address the concerns and re-start the industry, perhaps as early as 2027. The government said in a statement that it’s working with Kaktovik “to ensure that any future opportunities are managed in a way that will properly deal with resource protection, visitor’s safety and residents’ concerns.”
8. What most probably led to the end of the polar bear tourism in 2021?
A. Lack of skilled guides. B. Bear attacks.
C. Extinction of polar bears. D. Overtourism.
9. What can we say about the polar bear tours in Kaktovik in the early 1980s?
A. They were managed by the government. B. They were run by out-of-town operators.
C. They were mainly organized by individuals. D. They were usually led by well-trained guides.
10. Which of the following can best describe the official permits?
A. They were very helpful for local economy.
B. They benefited the large companies greatly.
C. They required large operators to help the locals.
D. They did not allow locals to work in the industry.
11. What is the government’s attitude to Kaktovik leaders’ proposal?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear.
D
Scientists have long identified four elements about apps or social media that hold children’s attention for as long as possible. Understanding them may help parents know how to avoid potential traps for their kids.
One of the elements is solitude. Studies have found that children who regularly use screens alone in their bedrooms have a higher risk of developing what psychologists call problematic usage. That is, they continue to use an app or play a game even when it damages their health. For example, the app may affect their sleep or friendships, but they still could not stop.
Another element is bottomlessness. Videos keep appearing on TikTok and YouTube. Photos, comments and likes keep popping up on Instagram. Apps have seemingly endless materials for kids to see, and they all show or play automatically. There’s no natural stopping point. So kids never feel finished or satisfied. That feeling grows even stronger with the third ingredient (成分) added into the mix: speed.
For social media, the speed at which kids can find “new” content has jumped with several technological advancements, including the invention of higher-speed internet and easy scroll (翻屏). So the faster kids can scroll and watch, the harder it is for them to pull away from an app. The speed can create a sense that they merge (合体) with the screen. In other words, they don’t know where they begin and the machine ends. The speed just pulls them into this flow.
The final ingredient is teasing. Here’s how teasing typically works: The app never gives kids what they are really looking for. It gives just enough to keep them attracted. This teasing gives kids the feeling that they’re going to get what they’re seeking soon. So they’ll be there all day trying to get that next big thing. This is perhaps the most important feature of the app.
With all these four elements, nearly everyone, not just the kids, will get addicted to the app or social media.
12. Which phenomenon can be described as solitude?
A. Playing alone. B. Offering endless rewards.
C. Responding quickly. D. Keeping users unsatisfied.
13. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Children. B. Videos. C. Programs. D. Apps.
14. What is probably the most addictive element about an app?
A. Solitude. B. Teasing. C. Speed. D. Bottomlessness.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A. To review a product. B. To warn teenagers.
C. To analyze the harm. D. To keep parents informed.

Li Na, a Chinese exchange student in the UK, felt a bit nervous when Mr. Smith asked each student to bring something that matters to them and share it with the class on Thursday. She sat in her seat quietly, thinking hard about what to bring. Suddenly, she remembered that the Lantern Festival happened to fall on next Friday. Her eyes lit up with excitement.
On Thursday, the classroom was filled with joy and laughter as students shared their beloved snacks and toys. When Li Na’s turn came, she rose, holding a wooden box. She opened it gently and took out a folded piece of red paper. With a few skillful folds and pulls, the paper magically turned into a beautiful lantern. She placed a candle inside and lit it carefully.
“What is it?” asked Emma, her deskmate. “It is amazing!”
Holding up the lantern, Li Na smiled and introduced the Lantern Festival — its traditions of hanging lanterns, guessing riddles (谜语), and eating sweet sticky rice balls called yuanxiao. “Red lanterns symbolize hope and reunion in Chinese culture,” she explained. “And this year, the festival happens to be on next Friday.”
Seeing how interested the students were, Mr. Smith walked over with a smile and said to Li Na, “Would you like to host a Lantern Festival party for the whole class next Friday night? I’m sure it will be a wonderful way to connect cultures.”
“I’d love to!” Li Na replied without hesitation.
Applause erupted in the classroom. But as she sat down, a little worry set in — how could she make the party really fun and unforgettable?
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Li Na quickly realized the key was to get everyone involved in the preparation.
