This simple ice cube “fishing” activity is great for home or the classroom. Kids will enjoy this hands-on fun! Materials: You need ice cubes, a bowl, salt and a cotton string. Instructions: Step 1: Add several ice cubes to a bowl and fill it with water. Step 2: Lay one wet string across the top of one ice cube. Step 3: Add salt directly over the string and the ice cube. Wait for at least half a minute. Step 4: Lift the string slowly and gently. The ice cube should come up with it! How it works: Salt lowers the freezing point of water. When salt is added on the ice, part of the ice on the surface melts (融化) into water. That water then refreezes around the string. The refrozen ice sticks to the string. As soon as the ice cube hardens, you can raise it by lifting the string. This is a physical change, not a chemical one. The ice melts and refreezes without changing what it's made of—just like icy roads refreeze after being salted. Tips: Be patient and careful. If you hurry, the string won't hold. If you wait too long, the ice gets too soft. And don't pour out too much salt—the ice will disappear quickly under a thick layer. 23. Which picture shows Step 2? 24. Why can the ice be lifted by the string? A. The salt acts like glue when mixed with ice. B. The string is frozen in the ice. C. The ice has chemical changes. D. The string is strong enough. 25. According to the tips, what is important to the success of the operation? A. The waiting time and the amount of salt. B. The quality of the ice and the salt. C. The size and material of the string. D. The temperature and the amount of water. B Winter solstice (冬至) is Izzie's favorite day of the year. Guests at her house enjoy songs and stories well into the night. But Izzie's favorite part has always been making snow angels with Grandpa at noon. When they were standing over the angels, their shadows would look like two skinny huge men with wings. But this year is different. One shadow is missing. Izzie feels very sad. Uncle Bert has arrived. He greets Izzie with a hug. “Amaze us with your violin tonight, Izzie?” Izzie holds her breath. Her violin reminds her of Grandpa. She hasn't picked it up for weeks. “You know Izzie doesn't like a listener, Bert,” says Izzie's mom. “Kids change,” Uncle Bert smiles. “I have a gift for you, Izzie.” He hands Izzie a case. “It's Grandpa's violin.” Izzie opens the case. She touches the familiar image of a sun carved into the violin's neck, fingering the song Grandpa taught her. Grandpa said ancient people thought the earth was flat and the sun stood still on winter solstice. Izzie feels her heart stands still. How can we have solstice without Grandpa's song? The sun starts setting. All guests have arrived, talking and laughing. For a moment, Izzie thinks she hears Grandpa's voice. But it's only Uncle Bert sounding like him. Soon, it turns dark. Dad starts the bonfire. The celebration will begin. Grandpa was always first. When the bonfire began, he'd step onto the chair and play his favorite song, Sweet Angels Come Nearer. Izzie would get a warm feeling. Izzie knows the sun will start rising and setting tomorrow, but she feels lost without Grandpa's song. Someone needs to play it. But who will? Dad tells a story. Aunt Bea sings. Simon reads a poem. In a moment of quiet, Izzie's hands shoots into the air. “Izzie? You'd like to share, too?” Dad asked. She steps up onto the chair, hands shaking. She takes a breath and turns her back to the fire, pretending (假装) no one is watching. One shaky note. Another. She imagines Grandpa playing the same violin. Her notes become stronger. As she plays, a voice rises behind her, singing the words to Grandpa's song. It's Uncle Bert. Mom joins in. Then Dad, Simon, Aunt Bea. Voices enlarge. Grandpa's violin soars (飞扬). Izzie feels the love of her family encircle her, warm like sunshine. 26. Which of the following activities did Izzie's grandpa do with her? ①making snow angels together at noon ②playing the violin around the bonfire ③reading a winter poem to the guests ④enjoying the strange huge shadows A. ①③④ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①②③ 27. The phrase “picked it up” in paragraph 4 probably means _ A. lifted the violin from the ground B. learned to play the violin C. started playing the violin again D. cleaned the violin case 28. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A solstice celebration B. The sun stands still C. A warm hearted uncle D. The violin remains there C The Dream Builder Finn's younger brother, Leo, had a serious immune deficiency (免疫缺陷) disease, making the outside world a dangerous place. Finn saw the longing (渴望) in Leo's eyes when he talked about his own hikes or bike rides. Finn was a member of his school's tech club. He'd built robots. One night, watching Leo get lost in a map, Finn had an idea: If Leo couldn't go to the world, he would bring the world to Leo. He called this idea “The Dreamwalker.” It was about creating a personalized, sensory (感官的) experience. Finn improved an old virtual reality (VR) headset, but the key was a pair of special gloves he engineered himself. They could simulate (模拟) the feeling of touching different things. Then came the hard part: building the “worlds”. For a week, Finn took a 360-degree camera on his hike. He didn't just film; he recorded the sound of the river, the wind, and the birds. He reached out and touched hard stones, soft grass, and cold water, noting the exact sensation. Back in the lab, he synchronized (同步) the videos to the headset. He programmed the gloves: When Leo “touched” the river, some water produced by an improved computer cooling fan would hit his face, and the special gloves would help him feel the movement of the water. Then came the first test. Leo put on the headset and gloves, and started the program. He was silent for a minute. Then, “I can feel the river!” he said. His smile widened behind the headset. For twenty minutes, Leo explored, reaching out, laughing as water hit his face by the “river”. Finn filmed Leo's reaction, a joy he hadn't seen in years. He realized that the highest purpose of technology and skill isn't to win competitions or create new inventions. It's to be a bridge. It's to use your knowledge as a tool for understanding and give someone you love the irreplaceable gift of an experience. He learned that the greatest engineering is the kind that connects one human heart to another. 29. Why was the outside world a dangerous place for Leo? A. Because he was too young. B. Because he had poor eyesight. C. Because he got lost easily outside. D. Because he had a serious disease. 30. What did Finn do for Leo? A. He created a set of sensory tools. B. He personalized a special robot. C. He recorded all of his bike rides. D. He bought a VR headset with nature programs. 31. What happened during Leo's first test of “The Dreamwalker”? A. He felt the river and had great fun. B. He failed to understand how to use the headset. C. He spent a whole week exploring different worlds. D. He helped Finn correct some problems of the gloves. 32. What does the story want to tell us? A. Technology should be used to win all kinds of competitions. B. The best invention must be made with expensive materials. C. Great engineering lies in connecting people's hearts. D. It is necessary for everyone to learn virtual reality skills. D Carl Behnke, a food safety expert at Purdue University, had long been curious about the actual cleanliness of his reusable water bottle. He put paper towels into the bottle and, upon pulling them out, was shocked to see how dirty they turned out to be. This inspired him to design a study. Behnke and his workmates stopped passers-by along a road at Purdue University and asked if they would be happy to lend their water bottles to them as part of their research — to see how clean they were. One thing that stood out from the project was the number of people who didn't want to know the results,” recalls Behnko. “Basically, they knew that their cleaning habits were poor, with some even hardly thinking about cleaning their bottles.” Research shows that reusable water bottles can carry millions of bacteria (细菌). A study found that water in bottles used by adults went from about 75,000 bacteria per milliliter in the morning to over 1-2 million by the end of the day. Contamination (污染) often comes from the drinker's hands, mouth, and the outside of the bottle. Those who don't wash their hands regularly may introduce harmful germs like E. coli into their bottles. While most bacteria are harmless, they can put some people at risk, especially those with poor health. Besides, drinks that have sugar can feed bacteria, making the situation worse. Although there is a small chance that we get serious illnesses from reusable bottles, it's still important to keep good hygiene (卫生). To cut down bacterial growth, it's suggested to clean your water bottle regularly. Behnke's research showed that people who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts. People should clean their bottles with hot water and soap, letting the bottle sit under water for about ten minutes before washing. It's important to let the bottle air-dry to prevent wetness buildup, which encourages bacteria. And proper handwashing before touching your clean bottle can also help cut down contamination. 33. Why does the writer mention the fact that Carl Behnke put paper towels into the bottle in the first paragraph? A. To lead in the study. B. To give a solution. C. To explain a subject. D. To tell a story. 34. What can be inferred about the people in the study according to Paragraph 2? A. They actively helped with the study. B. They thought the study was necessary. C. They were confident about the study results. D. They were clear they didn't take good care of their bottles. 35. What's a suggested way to reduce bacteria growth? A. Wiping with clean dry towels. B. Washing hands regularly with soap. C. Using brushes with hot soapy water. D. Washing for about ten minutes each time. 36. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①-②③④-⑤ B. ①②-③④-⑤ C. ①-②③-④⑤ D. ①-②-③-④-⑤ 四、还原信息(共 4 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 6 分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Over the past 20 years, 65-year-old Xue Gailian has used pyrography (烙画) to draw pictures on gourds (葫芦) and help villagers make money.

Every day, she watched the birds flying high in the sky. She wished she could fly like them. “My life is so boring,” she thought. “I have to crawl slowly on the ground. If only I could fly!” One day, an Eagle passed by. The Tortoise called out, “Eagle! Can you teach me to fly?” The Eagle looked down and laughed. “You? Fly? That is impossible. You have no wings. You belong on the ground.” But the Tortoise did not give up. She kept asking, day after day. “Please, Eagle. I will give you anything you want. I will bring you treasures from the river—shiny stones and pearls.” The Eagle grew tired of her begging. Finally, he agreed. “Very well. I will try. But do not blame me if something bad happens.” The Eagle took the Tortoise in his strong claws and flew up into the air. He flew higher and higher, above the trees and clouds. The Tortoise looked down and felt both excited and terrified. Suddenly, the Eagle let go. The Tortoise fell through the air. She hit the hard ground with a terrible crack.
