Which of the following can be the best title? A. A new lifestyle B. A popular dance style C. A hot discussion D. A new kind of folk music 【答案】43. D 44. B 45. A 46. D 47. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍“科目三”舞蹈的起源、动作特征、流行原因及文化影响。 【43题详解】 文章第一段连续使用了三个问句“Do you know...?”, “Have you watched...?”, “Can you dance...?”来引入“科目三”舞蹈这一话题，属于通过提问引入。 【44题详解】 通读这三部分可知，第①部分主要描述了舞蹈的动作和音乐特点，对应标题d（什么是“科目三”舞蹈）；第②部分分析了舞蹈走红的原因（如释放压力、表达自我等），对应标题b（为什么舞蹈变得流行）；第③部分探讨了舞蹈背后的文化意义及中国影响力，对应标题c（舞蹈背后的真相/意义）。因此匹配顺序为①-d, ②-b, ③-c。 【45题详解】 第三段提到“This free and easy dance allows them to let out both mental and physical tiredness”，说明这种自由而轻松的舞蹈让他们可以释放身心的疲劳，A项“ ‘科目三’舞蹈帮助人们缓解身心疲劳。”正确。 【46题详解】 最后一段提到“serves as an example of China’s attraction and influence”，该舞蹈的流行展示了中国的影响力。 【47题详解】 整篇文章围绕“科目三”舞蹈的起源、动作特征、流行原因及文化影响展开，核心主题是这种流行的舞蹈风格，选项B符合。A项“新生活方式”太宽泛，C项“热门讨论”侧重现象而非主体，D项“民间音乐”偏离了舞蹈这一核心。 D Warning: this article may make you feel sleepy. Why? It’s because we’re studying sleep cycles(周期) according to World Sleep Day which was celebrated on March 21. Our bodies sleep in 90-minute cycles, experiencing five to six each night. At first, you enter a light stage of sleep when your muscles (肌肉) relax. Then, the body temperature drops, and the heart rate (心率) slows. Next comes deep sleep. It’s difficult to wake up during this stage. At this time, your body repairs itself and builds up energy for the day ahead. Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM，快速眼动) sleep stage. It is when most dreaming happens. After REM sleep, the cycle repeats. Waking up in the morning in the “wrong” stage can make you feel especially tired. An app called Sleep Calculator (计算器) can help you avoid this. It’s a tool designed to work out the perfect bedtime for you based on your wake-up time. Developed by the UK company Hillarys, this smart calculator considers the sleep cycles that our bodies go through each night. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, simply input your wake-up time, and the calculator will work its magic, suggesting the perfect bedtime to make sure that you rise and shine with a spring in your step. It’s necessary to know that you shouldn’t just start your sleep cycle whenever you want. Many young people go to bed late and get up late, such as sleeping from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. They think as long as they have 8 hours of sleep, everything will be fine. But in fact, our bodies can tell the time, particularly by using light and temperature. If we wake up too late, we may feel a bit like a zombie (僵尸). That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping. 48. How many steps does our body go through in one sleep cycle? A. Two. B. Three. C. Five. D. Six. 49. What can this sleep calculator do for us? A. It can work out the perfect bedtime. B. It can record the total time of sleep. C. It can make you wake up early. D. It can help you fall asleep earlier. 50. What can we probably infer from the last paragraph? A. All we need is eight hours of sleep. B. With a sleep calculator, we can sleep well. C. Sometimes the more you sleep, the more tired you get. D. We can tell the time and calculate the reasonable sleep time. 51. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥ B. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ C. ①②③④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②/③④/⑤⑥ 52. Which of the following can be the best title? A. World Sleep Day Celebration B. Getting Your Sleep Cycle Right C. The Invention of Sleep Calculator D. How to Make the Body Healthier 【答案】48. B 49. A 50. C 51. D 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了睡眠周期的构成，如何利用工具优化睡眠时间，以及规律睡眠的重要性。 【48题详解】 根据文章第二段内容“At first, you enter a light stage of sleep…Next comes deep sleep…Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM)…sleep stage.”可知，文中明确提到了浅睡阶段（light stage）、深睡阶段（deep sleep）和快速眼动睡眠阶段（REM sleep）这三个主要步骤。 【49题详解】 根据文章第三段最后一句“It’s a tool designed to work out the perfect bedtime for you based on your wake-up time.”可知，这款睡眠计算器的功能是根据你的起床时间计算出完美的就寝时间。 【50题详解】 根据文章最后一段最后一句“That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping.”可知，有时候睡得太多反而会让人感到更累。 【51题详解】 通读全文可知：第一段①引出睡眠周期的话题；第二段②详细介绍了睡眠周期的三个阶段；第三段③和第四段④介绍了睡眠计算器的功能及使用方法；第五段⑤和第六段⑥提出了关于睡眠时间的建议及背后的科学原理。因此结构划分为①/②/③④/⑤⑥。 【52题详解】 本文主要介绍了睡眠周期的构成，如何利用工具优化睡眠时间，以及规律睡眠的重要性。选项B “Getting Your Sleep Cycle Right”最能概括文章主旨。 B）（每小题2分） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并将其填到答题卷的相应位置。 Younger Chinese citizens have developed new ways to reduce stress, such as raising special “pets” or hugging trees. ____53____ It can bring a sense of calmness, according to Internet users. Surprisingly, “mango dogs” are actually mango seeds (种子), after the fruit is eaten. ____54____ After a mango is eaten, its seed is washed under clean water, brushed with a toothbrush, dried with a hairdryer, and then left in sunlight.

For some Internet users, the process of creating a “mango dog” allows them to avoid the pressure of work and study, and experience a carefree childhood once again. ____55____ For example, college students have shared their experiences online of raising stone and paper box “dogs”. These “pets” share similar characteristics: they do not cry, make noise, or fall ill. ____56____ Many Internet users who have experienced tree hugging themselves have reported relief (减轻) from worries and a sense of connection with nature. In cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, and Zhengzhou, some people have even formed “tree hugging groups” and regularly plan tree hugging activities. The popularity of these stress reduction methods reflects young people’s great need to reduce stress. ____57____ According to public data, there are more than 800 companies in China with names, products, or services related to stress reduction.

G. Recently, a “pet” called the “mango dog” has gained popularity on social media. 【答案】53. G 54. A 55. E 56. F 57. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国年轻人通过养特殊“宠物”（如芒果狗）和抱树等新方式来减压的现象，分析了其原因并反映了相关的市场需求。 【53题详解】 文章第1段提到“Younger Chinese citizens have developed new ways to reduce stress, such as raising special ‘pets’ or hugging trees.”及后文“It can bring a sense of calmness”，此处应具体引入一种流行的“宠物”话题，以便下文展开介绍。选项G“Recently, a ‘pet’ called the ‘mango dog’ has gained popularity on social media.”（最近，一种叫“芒果狗”的“宠物”在社交媒体上走红。）符合语境，引出下文对芒果狗的具体描述。 【54题详解】 文章第2段提到“After a mango is eaten, its seed is washed under clean water, brushed with a toothbrush, dried with a hairdryer, and then left in sunlight.”，制作过程描述得较为日常且容易操作。选项A“Getting this ‘pet’ is quite simple.（获得这个“宠物”很简单。）与后文的制作步骤相呼应，符合逻辑。 【55题详解】 文章第3段提到“For example, college students have shared their experiences online of raising stone and paper box ‘dogs’.”，芒果狗并非唯一的特殊宠物，此处需要过渡句引出其他例子。选项E“However, the ‘mango dog’ is not the first special ‘pet’. ”（然而，“芒果狗”并不是第一种特殊“宠物”）能自然引出后文关于其他宠物的例子。 【56题详解】 文章第4段提到“Many Internet users who have experienced tree hugging themselves have reported relief (减轻) from worries and a sense of connection with nature.”，本段主要讲述抱树减压活动。选项F“Tree hugging has also become a new stress reduction activity for young people.”（抱树也成为年轻人的一种新的减压活动。）作为段首句概括了本段主题。 【57题详解】 文章第5段提到“According to public data, there are more than 800 companies in China with names, products, or services related to stress reduction.”，此处涉及减压相关的商业市场数据。选项C“This provides a big market for stress reduction.”（这为减压提供了巨大的市场。）与后文的公司数据相吻合，总结了市场需求。 五、补全对话（5分） 请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个填入空白处，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整。一空一句。 A: Hi, Peter.

It has a history of several hundred years. In 2005, the Culture and Art Center of Jiangxi Opera was set up at Nanchang University for this local opera. From then on, a course named Appreciation of the Jiangxi Opera (《赣剧鉴赏》) has been taught at Nanchang University in Jiangxi Province. Chen Li, the teacher, shows how great Jiangxi Opera is by wearing traditional make-up (妆容) and costumes, and doing moves like waving water sleeves (甩水袖) and spinning (旋转) folding fans. “I used to give students speeches about Jiangxi Opera without performing. So in the classroom, you might find students who weren't interested in them slept in my class or even played on their phones in class,” said Chen. To make her class more interesting, Chen decided to wear costumes and turn the course into a stage to perform. This made students more interested in Jiangxi Opera. Recently, many of the students have recorded the performances and posted the videos of the course on the Internet. They have caught tons of attention and many people like them. Now, Chen’s class is always full of students, especially after a report about her course on March 23rd, 2024. Ms. Chen didn’t expect to be so successful. She has been satisfied with the result, and she has also realized that there will be a greater responsibility for her. “I hope that even though people will be less interested in Jiangxi Opera in the future, this art can still be passed down with our efforts,” Chen said. 38. How long has the Culture and Art Center of Jiangxi Opera been at Nanchang University? A. For less than twenty years. B. For just a few days. C. For less than two months. D. For several hundred years. 39. What did Ms. Chen use to do in her class? A. She used to teach students how to make up. B. She used to show students how to wave water sleeves. C. She used to give students speeches without performing. D. She used to ask students to walk onto the stage and perform. 40. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.

C Do you know the “kemusan” dance? Have you watched the dance video on the Internet? Can you dance it well? The “kemusan” dance is also known as the “subject three” dance. It has swept the Internet at home and abroad recently. This dance is believed to come from a wedding dance in South China. ①___________ The dance performers usually show off some stylish dance moves (时尚的舞蹈动作). For example, people swing their knees sideways as they perform a series of hand actions. Its music sounds like a mix of Western disco beats and traditional Chinese folk songs. ②___________ But why has the “subject three” dance become such a hit? In today’s world, young people want to express themselves in their own ways: This free and easy dance allows them to let out both mental and physical tiredness in daily life and enjoy simple happiness. Even those who can’t dance it can hold a mobile phone to shoot or just watch someone perform this dance. It is enough for them to enjoy the same happiness. Besides, the recognition and popularity of the dance come from building who you are. People love this crazy style and share it. They form a circle where people with the same interests can gather. They don’t care about what others think of them. Although there are differences in cultural backgrounds and languages, young people worldwide share a common enthusiasm (热情) for life and expressing their feelings. These common parts are helpful for the global popularity of the “subject three” dance. ③____________ All hot online fashions will disappear in the end. However, the discussion about the new lifestyle of the digital age, youth fashions and other hot topics will continue. The popularity of the “subject three” dance around the world also shows colorful public culture and serves as an example of China’s attraction (吸引力) and influence. 43.

It’s because we’re studying sleep cycles(周期) according to World Sleep Day which was celebrated on March 21. Our bodies sleep in 90-minute cycles, experiencing five to six each night. At first, you enter a light stage of sleep when your muscles (肌肉) relax. Then, the body temperature drops, and the heart rate (心率) slows. Next comes deep sleep. It’s difficult to wake up during this stage. At this time, your body repairs itself and builds up energy for the day ahead. Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM，快速眼动) sleep stage. It is when most dreaming happens. After REM sleep, the cycle repeats. Waking up in the morning in the “wrong” stage can make you feel especially tired. An app called Sleep Calculator (计算器) can help you avoid this. It’s a tool designed to work out the perfect bedtime for you based on your wake-up time. Developed by the UK company Hillarys, this smart calculator considers the sleep cycles that our bodies go through each night. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, simply input your wake-up time, and the calculator will work its magic, suggesting the perfect bedtime to make sure that you rise and shine with a spring in your step. It’s necessary to know that you shouldn’t just start your sleep cycle whenever you want. Many young people go to bed late and get up late, such as sleeping from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. They think as long as they have 8 hours of sleep, everything will be fine. But in fact, our bodies can tell the time, particularly by using light and temperature. If we wake up too late, we may feel a bit like a zombie (僵尸). That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping. 48. How many steps does our body go through in one sleep cycle? A. Two. B. Three. C. Five. D. Six. 49. What can this sleep calculator do for us? A. It can work out the perfect bedtime. B. It can record the total time of sleep. C. It can make you wake up early. D. It can help you fall asleep earlier. 50. What can we probably infer from the last paragraph? A. All we need is eight hours of sleep. B. With a sleep calculator, we can sleep well. C. Sometimes the more you sleep, the more tired you get. D. We can tell the time and calculate the reasonable sleep time. 51. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥ B. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ C. ①②③④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②/③④/⑤⑥ 52. Which of the following can be the best title? A. World Sleep Day Celebration B. Getting Your Sleep Cycle Right C.
