I opened it and saw a lot of cash — more money than I had ever seen in my life. My first thought was, “I can buy so many toys!” I looked around. ____16____ was watching. I put the wallet into my backpack and ran home. That night, I could not sleep. I kept ____17____ about the person who had lost the wallet. Was it someone’s grocery money? A gift for a child? My stomach felt sick. The next morning, I told my mother everything. She did not get angry. Instead, she sat me down and said, “The right thing is sometimes the ____18____ thing. But it is never wrong.” I took the wallet to the school office. The principal smiled and said a teacher had lost it the day before. Later that day, the teacher came to my classroom. She had tears in her eyes. “This money was for my daughter’s medical treatment,” she said. “You have saved us.” I felt a warmth in my chest that no toy could ever ____19____. That day, I learned that honesty is not just about following rules. It is about understanding how our actions ____20____others. I am forty years old now, and I have never forgotten that lesson. Whenever I face a difficult choice, I ask myself: “What would make me feel ____21____ at night?” Last year, my own son found a phone at the park. He wanted to keep it.

Some people say they protect endangered animals. Others argue they are prisons for wild creatures. What do you think? YES — Close all zoos. Animals in zoos live in tiny cages that are nothing like their natural habitats. Elephants walk thousands of kilometres in the wild, but in zoos they can only take a few steps. Animals become stressed and develop strange behaviours, like walking back and forth all day. Modern conservation should happen in the wild, not behind bars. Money spent on zoos should go to protecting natural habitats instead. Watching animals on TV or in documentaries is just as educational. NO — Zoos are necessary. Many species would be extinct today without zoo breeding programmes. Zoos provide a safe place for animals to reproduce without threats like poaching or habitat loss. Good modern zoos have large, naturalistic enclosures. They also educate millions of visitors each year about wildlife protection. Seeing a real animal creates an emotional connection that no screen can match. Zoos also fund conservation projects around the world. A complete ban would harm, not help, endangered species. What do you think? Visit our website to vote in our debate. Vote YES if you think all zoos should be closed, or NO if you don't. We'll publish the results next week. 26. What is one reason the "YES" side gives for closing zoos? A. Zoos do not help endangered animals at all. B. Animals in zoos cannot live as they would in the wild. C. Most people prefer watching animals on television. D. Zoos are too expensive for most families to visit. 27. How does the "NO" side argue that zoos help conservation? A. By releasing all animals back into the wild. B. By breeding endangered species and funding protection. C. By teaching visitors how to hunt animals. D. By replacing natural habitats with artificial ones. 28. What is the main purpose of this debate text? A. To prove that zoos are cruel and should be banned. B. To encourage readers to form and share their own opinions. C. To advertise a new wildlife documentary series. D. To show that scientists cannot agree on animal rights. B In a small town in Scotland, a group of teenagers started a “Senior Prom” programme that pairs young people with elderly residents who feel lonely. The idea came from 16-year-old Chloe, who noticed that her neighbour, 82-year-old Mr. Morrison, rarely had visitors. “I used to see him sitting by the window all day,” Chloe said. “One day I knocked on his door just to say hello. He talked for an hour about his life as a sailor. His eyes lit up. That’s when I realised how much older people need company.” Chloe shared her idea with her classmates. Together, they created a schedule. Each week, different students would visit assigned elderly neighbours for at least one hour. They would play cards, listen to stories, help with small tasks, or just sit and chat. The programme quickly grew. Local businesses donated board games, books, and even mobile phones so that seniors could call their families. The school offered a small reward: students who completed ten visits would receive a certificate and a free pizza lunch. Mr. Morrison became one of the most popular seniors to visit. He had travelled to over 40 countries and had endless stories. “I feel like a grandfather to all these young people,” he said with a smile. “They’ve given me a reason to get out of bed in the morning” One student, 15-year-old James, said, “At first I thought it would be boring. But Mr. Morrison taught me how to fish and told me about his adventures. I’ve learned more from him than from any textbook.” The programme has now inspired similar projects in five other towns. Chloe hopes it will spread across the country. “Loneliness is a silent problem,” she said. “But a simple visit can change someone's whole week.” 29. What made Chloe start the “Senior Prom” programme? A. Her teacher gave her a class assignment. B. She saw her elderly neighbour often sitting alone. C. Her grandparents asked her for help. D. She needed volunteer hours for a school requirement. 30. What do students do in the programme? A. They take elderly people on trips around the world. B. They visit elderly neighbours to spend time with them. C. They collect money to build nursing homes. D. They teach elderly people how to use smartphones. 31. How did Mr. Morrison feel about the visits? A. He felt annoyed by too many visitors. B. He felt they gave him purpose and joy. C. He preferred to be left alone. D. He thought they were a waste of time. 32. What did James learn from the experience? A. Older people have valuable stories and skills to share. B. Visiting seniors is boring and unrewarding. C. Textbooks are more important than real-life experiences. D. Only old people need help, not young people. C Kai had always been afraid of deep water. When he was five, he fell into a pool and almost drowned. Now at thirteen, he still could not swim. He avoided pool parties and beach trips. His friends did not understand. “Just jump in!” they would say. But Kai knew the fear was deeper than they could see. One summer, Kai’s school announced a mandatory swimming unit in physical education. Kai’s heart raced when he heard the news. He considered faking an illness, but his mother saw through his plan. “You cannot run from fear forever,” she said. “Fear grows when you hide. It shrinks when you face it.” With his mother’s encouragement, Kai decided to face the water. On the first day of swimming class, he stood at the edge of the pool, his legs shaking. The water looked dark and endless. Coach Martinez, a kind woman with grey hair, walked over. “I see you’re scared,” she said quietly. “That’s okay. We’ll go at your speed. Today, just put your feet in. Nothing more.” Kai sat on the edge and dipped his toes. The water felt warm. He did not drown. Day by day, he moved a little further. One day, he put his whole body in while holding the wall. Another day, he floated with a kickboard. And then, after six weeks, he swam one full lap across the pool. When Kai touched the other side, his classmates cheered. Coach Martinez smiled. “You didn't just learn to swim,” she said. “You learned courage.” That night, Kai called his grandmother. “I swam across the whole pool,” he said, his voice full of pride. “I know.” she said. “I never doubted you.” Kai realised that fear is like a shadow. The more you run from it, the faster it follows. But when you turn around and walk toward it, it disappears. He still felt nervous before swimming. But he no longer let that feeling control him. 33. Why was Kai afraid of water? A. He had never seen a pool before. B. He nearly drowned when he was young. C. His friends told him scary stories about the ocean. D. His mother warned him to stay away from water. 34. How did Coach Martinez help Kai? A. She forced Kai to jump into the deep end immediately. B. She allowed Kai to skip the swimming class. C. She let Kai go at his own pace, starting with small steps. D. She asked other students to push Kai into the pool. 35. What lesson did Kai learn by the end of the story? A. Fear never really goes away, so you should avoid it. B. Facing fear step by step makes it lose its power. C. Swimming is the only way to overcome all fears. D. Other people cannot help you face your fears. 36. What does the shadow metaphor at the end of the story mean? A. Fear follows you only at night. B. Running from fear makes it seem larger. C. Shadows are more dangerous than water. D. Fear disappears completely when you face it once. D For centuries, sailors told stories of strange songs coming from the sea. They thought the sounds were made by sea monsters. Today, we know the truth: whales sing. Whales produce a complex series of sounds that scientists call “songs”. These songs can last for hours and travel hundreds of kilometres through the ocean. But why do whales sing? Scientists have several theories. The most common theory is that male whales sing to attract females. During breeding season, male humpback whales sing long, beautiful songs. Females listen from far away and choose the male with the most impressive song. It is like a singing competition underwater. Another theory is that whales use songs to navigate. Sound travels five times faster in water than in air. Whales may sing and listen to the echoes to understand their surroundings, much like bats use echolocation. This helps them find food and avoid obstacles in dark or cloudy waters. Some scientists believe songs also help whales stay connected. Whales live in groups called pods. When members swim far apart, singing may help them find each other again. Each pod has its own unique song pattern, like a family signature. Interestingly, whale songs change over time. New sounds appear, and old sounds disappear. Different pods in different oceans have completely different songs. It is like human music evolving across cultures. Climate change and human noise pollution are threatening whale communication. Ships, sonar, and underwater construction create loud noises that drown out whale songs. Scientists worry that if whales cannot hear each other, they may struggle to find mates and food. Conservation efforts are trying to create quieter oceans. Some shipping lanes have been moved. Ships are being redesigned to make less noise. If we succeed, the beautiful songs of whales will continue to fill the oceans for generations to come. 37. What is the main reason male whales sing according to the most common theory? A. To scare away other sea animals. B. To attract females during breeding season. C. To communicate with sailors on ships. D. To mark their territory in the ocean. 38. How do whales use sound to navigate? A. They listen to echoes to understand their surroundings. B. They follow the sound of ships to find land. C. They sing only in shallow water where it is safe. D. They use their songs to create waves that push them forward. 39. What threat do whales face from human activity? A. Whales are losing their ability to produce sound. B. Noise pollution makes it hard for whales to hear each other. C. Ships are hunting whales for their songs. D. Climate change is making whale songs too loud. 40. What is one way people are helping protect whale communication? A. Building more underwater construction sites. B. Encouraging ships to use louder sonar systems. C. Moving shipping lanes and making ships quieter. D. Teaching whales to sing louder to compete with noise. 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A) 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41~45的相应横线上。 Bamboo is one of the most ____41____ (有用的) plants on Earth.

The science of colour is called colour psychology, and it affects almost every part of our lives. Colours can influence our moods without us even realising it. Blue is often described as a calming colour. Hospitals and dentists' offices often use blue walls to help patients feel more relaxed. Green is associated with nature and growth. Many schools paint their walls light green because it is believed to help students concentrate. Yellow is the most visible colour in daylight. It captures attention quickly, which is why taxis and warning signs are often yellow. However, too much yellow can cause feelings of anger or frustration. Red is the colour of energy and excitement. It raises heart rates and creates a sense of urgency. That is why clearance sales often use red tags. But red can also be aggressive, which is why it is used carefully in schools and hospitals. Different cultures see colours differently. In Western countries, white is worn at weddings to represent purity. But in many Eastern cultures, white is the colour of mourning and is worn at funerals. Black is seen as formal and elegant in the West, but in some cultures, it represents evil or bad luck. Purple was once so expensive to produce that only royalty could afford it. Today, purple still suggests luxury and wealth. Businesses use colour psychology carefully. Fast food restaurants often use red and yellow because these colours stimulate appetite and encourage quick eating. Banks and insurance companies use blue because it suggests trust and stability. Environmental organisations use green to connect their message with nature. Even product packaging is tested for colour appeal before hitting the shelves. Understanding colour psychology can help you make better choices in your own life. Do you want to feel calm? Paint your bedroom blue. Need to focus? Add some green to your study area. Want to feel energetic? Wear something red. The colours around you are not just decoration—they are quietly shaping how you think and feel. What is colour psychology? Colour psychology is the science of how colours affect human moods and behaviour. Colours and moods • Blue makes people feel ___56___. • Green helps students ___57___ better. • Yellow captures ___58___ quickly but too much may cause anger. • Red creates a sense of ___59___ and raises heart rates. Cultural meanings • White means purity in the West but ___60___ in many Eastern cultures. • Black is formal in the West but may represent evil elsewhere. • Purple suggests ___61___ and wealth because it was once very expensive. Business uses • Fast food restaurants use red and yellow to stimulate ___62___. • Banks use blue to suggest trust and stability. • Green connects environmental organisations with ___63___. Your idea What colour would you choose for your study room at home? Why? Please write at least 20 words. _________________________64_________________________ B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Have you ever held a coin that was made over a thousand years ago?

None 4. A. come B. to come C. coming D. came 5. A. find B. finding C. to find D. found 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. A 4. A 5. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了非洲猴面包树的外形特点、实用价值及其面临的生存威胁，强调了保护这种古老植物的重要性。 【1题详解】 句意：即使你砍倒猴面包树，它的树干也会长回来。 根据“its trunk will grow back”可知，前后句意为让步关系。Even if“即使”引导让步状语从句，符合树生命力顽强的描述，其他选项逻辑不通。 【2题详解】 句意：当地人称它为“生命之树”，因为它提供食物、水和住所。 根据“it provides food...”可知，这是被称为“生命之树”的原因。前后为因果关系，because“因为” 引导原因状语从句，其他选项不符合逻辑。 【3题详解】 句意：在干燥的季节，动物和人类都依赖这棵神奇的树。 根据“animals and humans”及后面的“and”可知，此处为固定搭配。Both... and...意为“两者都”，符合语境。 【4题详解】 句意：它们见证了一代又一代人的来来去去。 根据“and go”可知，此处需要与go保持形式一致。根据语境，see sb. do sth.且come and go为固定短语，需用动词原形。 【5题详解】 句意：科学家们正在努力寻找保护这些古老巨人的方法。 根据“working hard”可知，此处表示努力的目的，所以要用动词不定式表目的，to find符合语境。 B Fireflies are one of nature’s most magical insects.

The secret lies in their abdomen, where a chemical reaction takes place. This special ability is called bioluminescence. Unlike a light bulb, firefly light produces almost ____7____ heat.

B 9. B 10. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了萤火虫发光的神奇现象，解释了其发光原理、冷光特性、交流方式及科学家对其研究的应用前景。 【6题详解】 句意：但你有没有想过它们如何发光？ 下文 “The secret lies in their abdomen, where a chemical reaction takes place.”是在解释萤火虫发光的方式，因此用how提问，what、why、when均不符合语境。 【7题详解】 句意：与灯泡不同，萤火虫的光几乎不产生热量。 根据后文“That is why it is called ‘cold light’.”可知，萤火虫的光几乎没有热量，因此用no，some、any、much均与“冷光”的特点矛盾。 【8题详解】 句意：有些萤火虫甚至用它们的光来欺骗其他物种。 后文“They copy the flashes of smaller fireflies and then eat them!”说明萤火虫会欺骗除自身外的其他物种。other species表示“其他物种”；another后接单数名词；the other特指两者中的另一个；others后不能直接接名词，因此选other。 【9题详解】 句意：科学家们已经研究萤火虫的光很多年了。 本句时态为现在完成时，for+时间段是现在完成时的常用搭配，表示动作持续的时间；since后接时间点；in和during不符合现在完成时的用法，因此选for。 【10题详解】 句意：下次你看到萤火虫时，记住你正在观察大自然最奇妙的化学工厂之一。 “one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”是固定结构，表示“最……之一”，因此用most构成most wonderful；more是比较级，much/many是原级，均不符合该结构。 C Clouds are not just fluffy shapes in the sky. They play a key role in Earth’s weather and climate. There are many different ____11____ of clouds, and each type tells a story about the weather ahead. Cirrus clouds are high and wispy. They often mean that a storm is coming ____12____ 24 hours. Cumulus clouds look like cotton balls. They usually mean fair weather, but if they grow tall, they can turn into thunderclouds. Stratus clouds form a grey layer that covers the whole sky. They often bring light rain or drizzle. Scientists study clouds to predict storms and understand climate change. ____13____ clouds reflect sunlight back into space, they help cool the planet. However, some clouds trap heat, making the Earth warmer. Learning to read clouds is a useful skill. Next time you go outside, look up and see ____14____ you can guess the weather.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍云的种类及对天气气候的影响，说明不同云状预示的状况，鼓励人们通过观察云来预测天气变化。 【11题详解】 句意：有许多不同种类的云，每种类型都预示着未来的天气。 根据后文“each type tells a story about the weather ahead.”及列举的“Cirrus”等云名可知，此处指云的“种类”。故选types，表示“种类”。 【12题详解】 句意：它们通常意味着风暴将在24小时内到来。 根据“coming”和“24 hours”可知，此处表示在一段时间之内，within 24 hours表示“在24小时之内”，符合语境。 【13题详解】 句意：因为云将阳光反射回太空，它们有助于地球降温。 根据前半句“clouds reflect sunlight back into space”和后半句“they help cool the planet”可知，前后句是因果关系，反射阳光是降温的原因。故选Because表示“因为”，符合逻辑关系。 【14题详解】 句意：下次你去外面，抬头看看你是否能猜出天气。 根据“see”和“you can guess the weather”可知，此处表示不确定能否猜出，需用whether引导宾语从句，表达“是否”的含义，符合语境。 【15题详解】 句意：夜晚天边红，水手乐无穷。早晨天空红，水手要警惕。 这是一句谚语，固定搭配Red sky in morning表示“早上天空红”，故此处填介词in。 二、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） When I was eight years old, I found a wallet on the playground after school. I opened it and saw a lot of cash — more money than I had ever seen in my life. My first thought was, “I can buy so many toys!” I looked around. ____16____ was watching. I put the wallet into my backpack and ran home. That night, I could not sleep. I kept ____17____ about the person who had lost the wallet. Was it someone’s grocery money? A gift for a child? My stomach felt sick. The next morning, I told my mother everything. She did not get angry. Instead, she sat me down and said, “The right thing is sometimes the ____18____ thing. But it is never wrong.” I took the wallet to the school office. The principal smiled and said a teacher had lost it the day before. Later that day, the teacher came to my classroom. She had tears in her eyes. “This money was for my daughter’s medical treatment,” she said. “You have saved us.” I felt a warmth in my chest that no toy could ever ____19____. That day, I learned that honesty is not just about following rules. It is about understanding how our actions ____20____others. I am forty years old now, and I have never forgotten that lesson. Whenever I face a difficult choice, I ask myself: “What would make me feel ____21____ at night?” Last year, my own son found a phone at the park. He wanted to keep it. I told him the story of the wallet. He thought for a minute, then walked to the park office and turned in the phone. The owner, an old man, gave my son a reward. My son used the money to buy ice cream for his whole class. He said, “Sharing ____22____ better than keeping.” I realised that honesty is like a seed. When you plant it in one person’s heart, it grows and spreads to____23____. My mother planted that seed in me. I planted it in my son. And he planted it in his classmates. ____24____knows how far it will go? That is the power of a simple, honest choice. It does not just change you.

A 23. B 24. A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述小时候归还钱包的经历，以及诚实行为如何影响儿子和同学，强调了诚实改变世界的力量。 【16题详解】 句意：我环顾四周，没人在看。 根据“I put the wallet into my backpack and ran home”（我把钱包放进背包跑回家）可知，作者当时认为周围没有人看见他，所以才敢拿走钱包。根据语境，只有没人看见才敢拿走钱包，故选Nobody表示“没有人”，符合逻辑。 【17题详解】 句意：我不停地想着丢钱包的人。 根据后文“Was it someone’s grocery money? A gift for a child?”（那是某人的买菜钱吗？给孩子的礼物吗？）可知，这是作者脑海中的一系列思考内容。作者在内心推测失主的情况，属于思考过程，故选thinking表示“想”，符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：正确的事有时是最难的事。 根据前文作者因是否归还钱包而失眠挣扎，可知做出正确的选择往往伴随着内心的斗争，是很困难的。母亲安慰作者，指出做对事虽难但没错，符合逻辑。故选hardest表示“最难的”体现作者之前的心理挣扎过程。 【19题详解】 句意：我感到胸中有一股温暖，是任何玩具都无法比拟的。 根据“no toy could ever...”可知，此处将内心的温暖感与玩具带来的快乐进行对比，强调前者更珍贵。match表示“比得上”，突出诚实带来的满足感超越物质，符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意：这是关于理解我们的行为如何影响他人。 根据上文老师因找回钱而救急，可知作者的行为对他人产生了作用。affect表示“影响”，涵盖了帮助、拯救等具体结果，是更通用的道德教训，符合主旨。 【21题详解】 句意：什么能让我晚上感到平静？ 根据前文“That night, I could not sleep”（那晚我睡不着）可知，作者现在希望做正确的选择以获得内心的安宁。peaceful对应之前的失眠，表示心安理得。符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：分享比占有滋味更好。 根据前文“My son used the money to buy ice cream for his whole class.”可知，儿子买冰淇淋请客，tastes既指冰淇淋的味道，也隐喻分享的感受。固定搭配tastes better，形容体验更美好，符合语境。 【23题详解】 句意：当你把它种在一个人的心里，它生长并传播给其他人。 根据前文，从作者到儿子再到同学，可知诚实传播给了更多的人。此处others泛指其他人，符合传播范围扩大的逻辑。 【24题详解】 句意：谁知道它会走多远？ 根据语境，这是一个反问句，意为“没人知道”。固定搭配Who knows，表示无人知晓未来的影响，符合习惯用法。 【25题详解】 句意：它改变世界，一次一个小小的举动。 固定短语one at a time表示“一次一个”，强调循序渐进。根据语境，该短语准确表达了诚实行为积累的过程。故选at符合固定搭配。 三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下列材料，从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The Big Debate Should all zoos be closed? Zoos have been around for hundreds of years. Some people say they protect endangered animals. Others argue they are prisons for wild creatures. What do you think? YES — Close all zoos. Animals in zoos live in tiny cages that are nothing like their natural habitats. Elephants walk thousands of kilometres in the wild, but in zoos they can only take a few steps. Animals become stressed and develop strange behaviours, like walking back and forth all day. Modern conservation should happen in the wild, not behind bars. Money spent on zoos should go to protecting natural habitats instead. Watching animals on TV or in documentaries is just as educational. NO — Zoos are necessary. Many species would be extinct today without zoo breeding programmes. Zoos provide a safe place for animals to reproduce without threats like poaching or habitat loss. Good modern zoos have large, naturalistic enclosures. They also educate millions of visitors each year about wildlife protection. Seeing a real animal creates an emotional connection that no screen can match. Zoos also fund conservation projects around the world. A complete ban would harm, not help, endangered species. What do you think? Visit our website to vote in our debate. Vote YES if you think all zoos should be closed, or NO if you don't. We'll publish the results next week. 26. What is one reason the "YES" side gives for closing zoos? A. Zoos do not help endangered animals at all. B. Animals in zoos cannot live as they would in the wild. C. Most people prefer watching animals on television. D. Zoos are too expensive for most families to visit. 27. How does the "NO" side argue that zoos help conservation? A. By releasing all animals back into the wild. B. By breeding endangered species and funding protection. C. By teaching visitors how to hunt animals. D. By replacing natural habitats with artificial ones. 28. What is the main purpose of this debate text? A. To prove that zoos are cruel and should be banned. B. To encourage readers to form and share their own opinions. C. To advertise a new wildlife documentary series. D. To show that scientists cannot agree on animal rights. 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕 “是否应该关闭所有动物园” 呈现了支持关闭和认为动物园有存在必要双方的观点，并邀请读者参与投票表达看法。 【26题详解】 根据“YES—Close all zoos”部分第一句“Animals in zoos live in tiny cages that are nothing like their natural habitats. Elephants walk thousands of kilometres in the wild, but in zoos they can only take a few steps.”可知，“正”方认为动物园里的动物无法像在野外一样生活。 【27题详解】 根据“NO—Zoos are necessary”部分“Many species would be extinct today without zoo breeding programmes. Zoos provide a safe place for animals to reproduce without threats like poaching or habitat loss… Zoos also fund conservation projects around the world.”可知，“反”方认为动物园通过繁殖濒危物种和资助保护项目来帮助保护野生动物。 【28题详解】 根据文章最后一段“Visit our website to vote in our debate. Vote YES if you think all zoos should be closed, or NO if you don’t.”可知，本文的主要目的是鼓励读者形成并表达自己的观点。 B In a small town in Scotland, a group of teenagers started a “Senior Prom” programme that pairs young people with elderly residents who feel lonely. The idea came from 16-year-old Chloe, who noticed that her neighbour, 82-year-old Mr. Morrison, rarely had visitors. “I used to see him sitting by the window all day,” Chloe said. “One day I knocked on his door just to say hello. He talked for an hour about his life as a sailor. His eyes lit up. That’s when I realised how much older people need company.” Chloe shared her idea with her classmates. Together, they created a schedule. Each week, different students would visit assigned elderly neighbours for at least one hour. They would play cards, listen to stories, help with small tasks, or just sit and chat. The programme quickly grew. Local businesses donated board games, books, and even mobile phones so that seniors could call their families. The school offered a small reward: students who completed ten visits would receive a certificate and a free pizza lunch. Mr. Morrison became one of the most popular seniors to visit. He had travelled to over 40 countries and had endless stories. “I feel like a grandfather to all these young people,” he said with a smile. “They’ve given me a reason to get out of bed in the morning” One student, 15-year-old James, said, “At first I thought it would be boring. But Mr. Morrison taught me how to fish and told me about his adventures. I’ve learned more from him than from any textbook.” The programme has now inspired similar projects in five other towns. Chloe hopes it will spread across the country. “Loneliness is a silent problem,” she said. “But a simple visit can change someone's whole week.” 29. What made Chloe start the “Senior Prom” programme? A. Her teacher gave her a class assignment. B. She saw her elderly neighbour often sitting alone. C. Her grandparents asked her for help. D. She needed volunteer hours for a school requirement. 30. What do students do in the programme? A. They take elderly people on trips around the world. B. They visit elderly neighbours to spend time with them. C. They collect money to build nursing homes. D. They teach elderly people how to use smartphones. 31. How did Mr. Morrison feel about the visits? A. He felt annoyed by too many visitors. B. He felt they gave him purpose and joy. C. He preferred to be left alone. D. He thought they were a waste of time. 32. What did James learn from the experience? A. Older people have valuable stories and skills to share. B. Visiting seniors is boring and unrewarding. C. Textbooks are more important than real-life experiences. D. Only old people need help, not young people. 【答案】29. B 30. B 31. B 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了苏格兰一个小镇的青少年发起“Senior Prom”项目，配对年轻人和孤独老人，通过陪伴缓解老人孤独感的故事。 【29题详解】 第一段“The idea came from 16-year-old Chloe, ...82-year-old Mr. Morrison, rarely had visitors.”以及第二段中“I used to see him sitting by the window all day... I realised how much older people need company.”直接指出，Chloe看到她的老年邻居经常独自坐着，这促使她发起了该项目。 【30题详解】 第三段“Each week, different students would visit assigned elderly neighbours for at least one hour. They would play cards,... chat.”直接说明，学生在项目中拜访老年邻居并陪伴他们。 【31题详解】 第五段“I feel like a grandfather to all these young people... They’ve given me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.”说明这些拜访给了他生活的目标和快乐。 【32题详解】 第六段“But Mr. Morrison taught me how to fish and told me about his adventures.”和“ I’ve learned more from him than from any textbook.”说明James学到了老年人有宝贵的故事和技能可以分享。 C Kai had always been afraid of deep water. When he was five, he fell into a pool and almost drowned. Now at thirteen, he still could not swim. He avoided pool parties and beach trips. His friends did not understand. “Just jump in!” they would say. But Kai knew the fear was deeper than they could see. One summer, Kai’s school announced a mandatory swimming unit in physical education. Kai’s heart raced when he heard the news. He considered faking an illness, but his mother saw through his plan. “You cannot run from fear forever,” she said. “Fear grows when you hide. It shrinks when you face it.” With his mother’s encouragement, Kai decided to face the water. On the first day of swimming class, he stood at the edge of the pool, his legs shaking. The water looked dark and endless. Coach Martinez, a kind woman with grey hair, walked over. “I see you’re scared,” she said quietly. “That’s okay. We’ll go at your speed. Today, just put your feet in. Nothing more.” Kai sat on the edge and dipped his toes. The water felt warm. He did not drown. Day by day, he moved a little further. One day, he put his whole body in while holding the wall. Another day, he floated with a kickboard. And then, after six weeks, he swam one full lap across the pool. When Kai touched the other side, his classmates cheered. Coach Martinez smiled. “You didn't just learn to swim,” she said. “You learned courage.” That night, Kai called his grandmother. “I swam across the whole pool,” he said, his voice full of pride. “I know.” she said. “I never doubted you.” Kai realised that fear is like a shadow. The more you run from it, the faster it follows. But when you turn around and walk toward it, it disappears. He still felt nervous before swimming. But he no longer let that feeling control him. 33. Why was Kai afraid of water? A. He had never seen a pool before. B. He nearly drowned when he was young. C. His friends told him scary stories about the ocean. D. His mother warned him to stay away from water. 34. How did Coach Martinez help Kai? A. She forced Kai to jump into the deep end immediately. B. She allowed Kai to skip the swimming class. C. She let Kai go at his own pace, starting with small steps. D. She asked other students to push Kai into the pool. 35. What lesson did Kai learn by the end of the story? A. Fear never really goes away, so you should avoid it. B. Facing fear step by step makes it lose its power. C. Swimming is the only way to overcome all fears. D. Other people cannot help you face your fears. 36. What does the shadow metaphor at the end of the story mean? A. Fear follows you only at night. B. Running from fear makes it seem larger. C. Shadows are more dangerous than water. D. Fear disappears completely when you face it once. 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. B 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述Kai因幼时溺水经历对水怀有深深的恐惧，在游泳课上通过教练的鼓励和自己的一步步尝试，最终克服恐惧、学会游泳的故事，传递了直面恐惧才能战胜它的道理。 【33题详解】 根据第一段第二句“When he was five, he fell into a pool and almost drowned.”可知，Kai害怕水是因为小时候差点溺水的经历。 【34题详解】 根据第五段教练说的话“We’ ll go at your speed. Today, just put your feet in. Nothing more.”以及第六段描述的循序渐进的过程可知，教练让Kai按自己的节奏，从小步骤开始。 【35题详解】 根据最后一段“Kai realised that fear is like a shadow... But when you turn around and walk toward it, it disappears.”以及全文Kai克服恐惧的经历可知，他学到的教训是逐步面对恐惧会使恐惧失去力量。 【36题详解】 根据最后一段关于影子的比喻“The more you run from it, the faster it follows.”以及第三段母亲说的“Fear grows when you hide.”可知，这个比喻意味着逃避恐惧会让它显得更强大或紧追不舍。 D For centuries, sailors told stories of strange songs coming from the sea. They thought the sounds were made by sea monsters. Today, we know the truth: whales sing. Whales produce a complex series of sounds that scientists call “songs”. These songs can last for hours and travel hundreds of kilometres through the ocean. But why do whales sing? Scientists have several theories. The most common theory is that male whales sing to attract females. During breeding season, male humpback whales sing long, beautiful songs. Females listen from far away and choose the male with the most impressive song. It is like a singing competition underwater. Another theory is that whales use songs to navigate. Sound travels five times faster in water than in air. Whales may sing and listen to the echoes to understand their surroundings, much like bats use echolocation. This helps them find food and avoid obstacles in dark or cloudy waters. Some scientists believe songs also help whales stay connected. Whales live in groups called pods. When members swim far apart, singing may help them find each other again. Each pod has its own unique song pattern, like a family signature. Interestingly, whale songs change over time. New sounds appear, and old sounds disappear. Different pods in different oceans have completely different songs. It is like human music evolving across cultures. Climate change and human noise pollution are threatening whale communication. Ships, sonar, and underwater construction create loud noises that drown out whale songs. Scientists worry that if whales cannot hear each other, they may struggle to find mates and food. Conservation efforts are trying to create quieter oceans. Some shipping lanes have been moved. Ships are being redesigned to make less noise. If we succeed, the beautiful songs of whales will continue to fill the oceans for generations to come. 37. What is the main reason male whales sing according to the most common theory? A. To scare away other sea animals. B. To attract females during breeding season. C. To communicate with sailors on ships. D. To mark their territory in the ocean. 38. How do whales use sound to navigate? A. They listen to echoes to understand their surroundings. B. They follow the sound of ships to find land. C. They sing only in shallow water where it is safe. D. They use their songs to create waves that push them forward. 39. What threat do whales face from human activity? A. Whales are losing their ability to produce sound. B. Noise pollution makes it hard for whales to hear each other. C. Ships are hunting whales for their songs. D. Climate change is making whale songs too loud. 40. What is one way people are helping protect whale communication? A. Building more underwater construction sites. B. Encouraging ships to use louder sonar systems. C. Moving shipping lanes and making ships quieter. D. Teaching whales to sing louder to compete with noise. 【答案】37. B 38. A 39. B 40.

The science of colour is called colour psychology, and it affects almost every part of our lives. Colours can influence our moods without us even realising it. Blue is often described as a calming colour. Hospitals and dentists' offices often use blue walls to help patients feel more relaxed. Green is associated with nature and growth. Many schools paint their walls light green because it is believed to help students concentrate. Yellow is the most visible colour in daylight. It captures attention quickly, which is why taxis and warning signs are often yellow. However, too much yellow can cause feelings of anger or frustration. Red is the colour of energy and excitement. It raises heart rates and creates a sense of urgency. That is why clearance sales often use red tags. But red can also be aggressive, which is why it is used carefully in schools and hospitals. Different cultures see colours differently. In Western countries, white is worn at weddings to represent purity. But in many Eastern cultures, white is the colour of mourning and is worn at funerals. Black is seen as formal and elegant in the West, but in some cultures, it represents evil or bad luck. Purple was once so expensive to produce that only royalty could afford it. Today, purple still suggests luxury and wealth. Businesses use colour psychology carefully. Fast food restaurants often use red and yellow because these colours stimulate appetite and encourage quick eating. Banks and insurance companies use blue because it suggests trust and stability. Environmental organisations use green to connect their message with nature. Even product packaging is tested for colour appeal before hitting the shelves. Understanding colour psychology can help you make better choices in your own life. Do you want to feel calm? Paint your bedroom blue. Need to focus? Add some green to your study area. Want to feel energetic? Wear something red. The colours around you are not just decoration—they are quietly shaping how you think and feel. What is colour psychology?
