A. humour B. courage C. wisdom D. purpose 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：起初，我没有勇气在全班同学面前发言，因为我害怕犯错。 humour幽默；courage勇气；wisdom智慧；purpose目的。根据原因状语从句“because I was afraid of making mistakes”可知，此处是指缺乏在全班同学面前发言的“勇气”，have the courage to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“有勇气做某事”。 2. Then Kate told me to fight ________ the fear of difficult words instead of running away. A. beyond B. during C. against D. for 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：然后凯特告诉我要克服对难词的恐惧，而不是逃避。 beyond超出；during在……期间；against反对/对抗；for为了。此处表示“克服”对难词的恐惧，fight against意为“对抗、与……作斗争”，符合“与恐惧对抗、不逃避”的语境，应填against。 3.

A. Since B. Unless C. Although D. Whenever 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——据说常州大麻糕很有名且美味。——既然我们在这里，为什么不尝尝呢？ Since既然；由于；Unless除非；Although虽然；Whenever无论何时。句中“why not try some?”是提出建议，结合“we are here”，说明此处表示“既然我们在这儿”，表示原因或理由，since语境。 5. —Is the man over there Mr. White? —It ________ be him.

C 22. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述玛雅为祖先报告寻找素材，在阁楼发现旧盒子，通过信件日记了解祖先玛丽琳的故事，最终完成报告并找到榜样。 【11题详解】 句意：我在找任何旧的东西。 根据下文Alex说的话“Everything here is old!”，可知玛雅要找的是与祖先相关的“旧的”物品，“old旧的”符合语境。其他选项“new新的；expensive昂贵的；broken破碎的”不符合语境中寻找祖先遗物的逻辑。 【12题详解】 句意：我一整个上午都在艾米丽姨妈家仔细翻找箱子，却没找到什么有趣的东西。 为了找到有用的报告素材，需要认真搜寻，“carefully仔细地”符合语境。其他选项“quickly快速地；suddenly突然地；exactly精确地”无法体现寻找素材所需的认真态度。 【13题详解】 句意：我变得紧张，因为我没有多少时间了。 前句“紧张”和后句“时间不多”是因果关系，后句是原因，用because。其他连词“so所以；although虽然；but但是”无法正确表达因果逻辑。 【14题详解】 句意：亚历克斯打开一个木箱，里面有许多照片和写给玛丽琳的信。 根据下文“that were written to someone”及“Under the letters”，可知盒子里有“信件”，“letters信”符合语境。其他选项“notices通知；books书；diaries日记”与“写给某人”及下文提示不符。 【15题详解】 句意：也许她是我们的亲戚。 根据上文“She had the same last name as we did”，玛雅推测她可能是“亲戚”，“relative亲戚”符合语境。其他选项“friend朋友；teacher老师；neighbor邻居”不符合同姓这一家族线索。 【16题详解】 句意：我坐下来读，很感兴趣。 根据下文对玛丽琳勇敢经历的详细描述，玛雅被故事吸引，因此是“感兴趣的”，“interested感兴趣的”符合语境。其他选项“bored无聊的；tired累的；relaxed放松的”与下文积极阅读的状态矛盾。 【17题详解】 句意：勇敢而坚强，她作为船上唯一的女性环游世界。 根据“the only woman on the ship”可知是作为唯一女性。as表示“作为”，符合“以某种身份”的语境。其他介词“with和；for为了；like 像”无法准确表达身份角色。 【18题详解】 句意：遇到困难她从不放弃。 根据上下文对玛丽琳勇敢坚强的描述，她面对困难不会“放弃”，“gave up放弃”符合语境。其他选项“turned up出现；called up打电话；looked up查阅”不符合人物性格特征。 【19题详解】 句意：当船到达不同地方时，她学习当地的语言，品尝特色美食，以更好地了解当地的人们。 get to know sb.是固定搭配，意为“逐渐了解某人”，“know了解”符合语境。其他选项“meet遇见；show展示；hear听见”无法构成符合语境的固定搭配。 【20题详解】 句意：她脸上挂着灿烂的笑容，我意识到她看起来像艾米丽阿姨。 根据“she looked like Aunt Emily”可知，观察照片后产生的认知，是看出来后的领悟。“realized意识到”符合语境，符合玛雅看到照片时的想法。其他选项“imagined想象；promised承诺；saw看见”不符合观察后的心理活动。 【21题详解】 句意：你发现了一个宝盒！ 根据上下文，这个盒子里的物品是家族的珍贵回忆，“treasure宝藏”符合语境，因此选 treasure。其他选项“photo照片；wish愿望；stone石头”无法体现盒子的珍贵价值。 【22题详解】 句意：我之所以兴奋，不仅因为周一的报告会很棒，更因为我找到了一个值得仰慕的人。 根据文章开头“On Monday, I had to give a report”，结尾呼应周一的“报告”，“report报告”符合语境。其他选项“story故事；news新闻；project项目”与文章开头设定的任务不符。 三、阅读理解(共 14 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 28 分) 阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的 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 You don’t need freezing cold or real snow to do winter science. 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? A. B. C. D. 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. 【答案】23. C 24. B 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项趣味冬季科学小实验 —— 冰块 “钓鱼”。无需严寒天气和真雪，在家或教室都可以开展。文中依次列出实验材料、四步操作流程，并解释实验原理。最后给出实验小贴士，提醒把控等待时长和用盐量才能实验成功。 【23题详解】 Step 2的描述是：“Lay one wet string across the top of one ice cube.”，将一根湿绳子横放在一块冰的顶部。观察选项：A是往碗里倒水（对应Step 1），B是往冰和绳子上撒盐（对应Step 3），C是绳子横放在冰块上方，符合Step 2，D是提起绳子（对应Step 4），因此选C。 【24题详解】 “How it works”部分明确指出：“That water then refreezes around the string. The refrozen ice sticks to the string.”，说明水在绳子周围重新冻结，将绳子冻在冰里，从而能提起冰块。 【25题详解】 “Tips”部分提到：“If you hurry... If you wait too long... And don’t pour out too much salt...”，这说明等待的时间长短和盐的用量对于实验成功至关重要。 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 felt her heart stand 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 shoot 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 5 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. 【答案】26. C 27. C 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了爷爷去世后的第一个冬至，Izzie因思念爷爷沉浸在悲伤中，在家人的鼓励下，她拿出爷爷留下的小提琴演奏爷爷最爱的曲子，重新感受到了家人环绕的温暖与爱意。 【26题详解】 根据文章第二段，Izzie经常和爷爷在正午一起堆雪天使，欣赏两人投射出带着翅膀的奇特巨大身影，对应①④；篝火庆祝环节，爷爷总是第一个上台拉小提琴，对应②；诗歌是Simon朗读的，并非爷爷参与的活动，排除③，因此选①②④。 【27题详解】 第五段“Her violin reminds her of Grandpa. She hasn’t picked it up for weeks.”，结合前文爷爷去世、Izzie伤心的背景，因此picked it up在这里指Izzie因为悲伤，一直没有重新拉小提琴，词组意思是“重新开始拉小提琴”，对应选项started playing the violin again。 【28题详解】 文章多次提到太阳的意象：爷爷曾教导冬至时“太阳静止不动（the sun stood still）”，Izzie 感到心也静止了，最后感受到家人的爱“像阳光一样温暖”。标题“The sun stands still”既呼应了冬至的传统说法，又隐喻了爷爷的爱与陪伴仿佛让时间静止，贯穿全文主旨。 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. 【答案】29. D 30. A 31. A 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Finn为患有严重免疫缺陷无法外出的弟弟Leo打造了个性化感官体验装置“The Dreamwalker”，帮助足不出户的Leo体验户外世界，Finn也由此领悟到科技创造的最高意义是连接人心的故事。 【29题详解】 第一段“Finn's younger brother, Leo, had a serious immune deficiency (免疫缺陷) disease, making the outside world a dangerous place.”，外界对Leo危险的原因是他患有严重疾病。 【30题详解】 第三段“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.”，Finn为Leo创造了一套感官体验工具。 【31题详解】 第六段“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’.”第一次测试中Leo感受到了河流，玩得十分开心。 【32题详解】 最后一段“He learned that the greatest engineering is the kind that connects one human heart to another.，本文想要传达的核心观点是伟大的工程在于连接人心。 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 Behnke. “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 【答案】33. A 34. D 35. C 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了普渡大学专家 Carl 因自己的水杯很脏发起研究，调查便携水杯细菌污染问题，并给出清洁建议。 【33题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“This inspired him to design a study.”（这启发他设计了一项研究）可知，作者提到Carl Behnke将纸巾放入瓶子这一事实，是为了引出下文关于水杯清洁度的研究。 【34题详解】 根据文章第三段中Behnke的话“Basically, they knew that their cleaning habits were poor...”可知，参与者清楚自己没有好好保养水杯，所以不想知道结果。 【35题详解】 根据最后一段“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...”可知，建议使用刷子配合热肥皂水清洗。 【36题详解】 分析文章结构可知：第一段（①）引出研究背景及实验；第二至四段（②③④）具体讲述研究发现、人们的态度、细菌污染来源及危害；第五段（⑤）给出减少细菌滋生的清洁建议。文章呈现“总—分—总”或“引入—分析—解决”的结构，即①-②③④-⑤。 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 Guilian has used pyrography (烙画) to draw pictures on gourds (葫芦) and help villagers make money. Xue, like most villagers in Shanxi, once made a living by growing grapes. ____37____ In 1996, she began to plant gourds in her yard, and after that, she has made more money.

A. I will try to make more money. B. It dates from the Qin Dynasty. C. Few people are interested in the art form. D. But that couldn't bring her enough money. E. I will keep improving the planting of gourds. F. She started to teach the villagers how to make the art for free. 【答案】37. D 38. B 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述65岁的薛桂莲坚持葫芦烙画二十余年。她从种植葫芦起步，专程外出学艺，学成后带领村民一起制作葫芦烙画增收。如今这项传统手艺销路渐好，也吸引年轻人返乡学习。她表示会继续钻研技艺，传承并弘扬中国民间艺术。 【37题详解】 空前提到薛桂莲曾经靠种葡萄为生，空后提到1996年她开始种葫芦并赚了更多的钱。选项D“但那不能给她带来足够的钱”中的But表示转折，that指代种葡萄，正好解释了为什么她后来改种葫芦，符合语境逻辑。 【38题详解】 空前一句说“这种艺术形式历史悠久”。选项B“它起源于秦朝”是对“历史悠久”的具体补充说明，It指代前文的The art form，衔接自然。 【39题详解】 空前说薛桂莲学成后希望为家乡做点事，空后提到“他们的产品”卖得越来越好。选项F“她开始免费教村民如何制作这种艺术品”解释了她如何帮助家乡，同时也引出了后文中“他们的产品”这一说法(指村民和她共同制作的产品)。 【40题详解】 此处位于引语中，需用第一人称谈论未来计划。空后句说“我还将学习更多关于葫芦烙画的知识……”，其中的“also”暗示空前也应是关于未来努力方向的计划。选项 E“我将继续改进葫芦的种植”与后文的“学习烙画技艺”形成从原料到技艺的全面提升计划，符合文章主题；而选项A仅强调赚钱，与后文强调传承艺术美的语境不符。 五、阅读回答(共 4 小题；前 3 小题每小题 2 分，第 4 小题 3 分，满分 9 分) 阅读下面短文, 回答短文后的问题。（前3题每题答案不超过10个词） A Tortoise once lived near a river. 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. Her shell broke into pieces. As she lay dying, she said to herself, “I should have been happy with my life beside the river. Now it is too late.” — Adapted from Aesop’s Fables 41. Why did the Tortoise want to learn to fly? ______________________________________________ 42. What did the Tortoise promise to give the Eagle? ______________________________________________ 43. What happened to the Tortoise after the Eagle let go? ______________________________________________ 44. Do you think the Eagle was right to drop the Tortoise? Why or why not? ______________________________________________ 【答案】41. Because she thought her life was boring. 42. Shiny stones and pearls from the river. 43. She hit the ground and her shell broke. 44. No, I don’t think so. Because the Eagle knew the Tortoise couldn’t fly, but he still agreed and dropped her, which led to the Tortoise’s death./Yes, I think so. Because the Eagle warned her something bad might happen, and she still insisted. (合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一则寓言故事，主要讲述了一只乌龟渴望飞翔，请求老鹰教它，最终因摔落而死的悲剧故事，揭示了要认清自我的道理。 【41题详解】 第一段“‘My life is so boring,’ she thought.”，乌龟想要飞是因为觉得自己的生活很无聊，因此答案总结为Because she thought her life was boring。 【42题详解】 第四段“I will bring you treasures from the river—shiny stones and pearls.”，乌龟承诺给老鹰河里的宝物，即亮石和珍珠，因此答案总结为Shiny stones and pearls from the river。 【43题详解】 第七段“The Tortoise fell through the air...Her shell broke into pieces.”，乌龟掉下来后壳碎了，因此答案总结为She hit the ground and her shell broke。 【44题详解】 开放题，答案不唯一。需结合故事内容表达自己的观点并说明理由。若认为老鹰做得对，可强调老鹰已警告过乌龟会有危险；若认为老鹰不对，可指出老鹰明知乌龟不会飞却仍同意并放手导致了悲剧。合理即可。 六、综合填空(共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分) 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Yingge dance, or “dance to heroes’ song”, is ____45____ folk show from southern China, ____46____ (especial) popular in Guangdong.

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? A. B. C. D. 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 felt her heart stand 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 shoot 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 5 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 Behnke. “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 Guilian 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. Her shell broke into pieces. As she lay dying, she said to herself, “I should have been happy with my life beside the river. Now it is too late.” — Adapted from Aesop’s Fables 41.
