No one could remember ever having seen him ____13____ ; he didn’t mind whatever people said to him. He seemed unable to say a bad word. It is said that Mickey’s goodness must come from a special ____14____. They asked Mickey about it so much that, one afternoon, he invited his favourite teacher, Mr. Anthony, home to tea. When they had finished, Mickey showed Mr. Anthony around the house. When Mickey opened his bedroom door, the teacher froze, and a big smile spread across his face. The huge far wall was a unique collage (拼贴图) of thousands of colors and shapes! It was the liveliest decoration Mr. Anthony had ever seen. “Some people at school think I never think badly of anyone,” Mickey started to ____15____, “and that nothing at all bothers me, and that I never want to fight with anyone, but that’s not true at all. I’m just like anyone else. I used to get angrier than all the other kids. But years ago, with the help of my parents, I started a small collage. I could ____16____ any kind of material and color for it. With every little piece I put up, I added some bad thoughts or acts.” It was true. The teacher looked closely at the ____17____. In each one of the small pieces he could read, in tiny letters, “fool”, “idiot”, “pain”, “bore”, and a thousand other negative things. “This is how I started ____18____ all my bad times into opportunities to add to my collage. Now I like the collage so much that, each time someone makes me angry, I couldn’t be happier. They’ve given me a new piece for my work of ____19____.” That day they discussed many things, but what the teacher never forgot was how an ordinary boy had shown him that the secret to having a cheerful and optimistic character is to change the bad times into chances to ____20____. Without telling anyone, on that very day, Mr. Anthony began his own collage. He would introduce it so often to his students that, years later, they called that neighbourhood “Art Town”.

Mansor was sure that he would see his birthday present on the dining table. It had been like this for the past 15 years. Whatever happened, his parents would place the present next to his glass of milk on that day. He had given various hints (暗示) about what he really wanted, and even silently put a picture of the mobile phone into his mother’s handbag. It was impossible that she didn’t get the message. To his surprise, there was nothing on the table this time. The family gave morning wishes to each other as usual and talked as if there was nothing special about the day. His mother only reminded him to clear his writing table. Mansor quickly ran out of the house as he did not want his parents to see he was sad that they had forgotten his birthday! He would feel better if he joined his friends at the Old People’s Home. As he did not want to stay around the house any longer, he got into the first taxi he saw. He was still sad while he was in it. He got down from the taxi and realized how fine the weather was. The sun was shining brightly as if to give him joy. The chirping of the birds lightened his heart. He walked with a spring in his steps to Old People’s Home. As he looked around, he saw people laughing and enjoying themselves. These old people didn’t get much care or attention from their busy children, yet they were happy. Why should he be sad? A mobile phone was not quite a big deal after all. Then he decided to go home. After getting home, he started to tidy his table, knowing that his mother expected him to do so. Wait! What’s this? An air ticket to Pulau Redang (热浪岛) for a scuba diving course! “The mobile phone is nice, but we prefer that you learn something rather than have the latest mobile phone. Hope you will like our present.” With tears of excitement, Mansor realized that he should have known that his parents would never forget his birthday. 24. What did Mansor do to get the present he wanted? A. He talked to his parents. B. He gave hints to his parents. C. He carefully cleaned his table. D. He paid a visit to his good friends. 25. After seeing those old people, Mansor ________. A. felt their life was so boring B. realized he shouldn’t be sad C. wanted to offer help to them D. hoped to get another present 26. The parents bought the ticket for Mansor because they ________. A. didn’t want to let him down B. didn’t like the mobile phone C. expected him to learn something D. hoped he could respect their wishes C How Sea Animals Save Energy on Long Journeys Sea animals like whales, sea turtles, and penguins face a big problem during their long journeys: they need to save energy while traveling thousands of miles to have babies or find food. Scientists have discovered that these air-breathing animals have a smart way to save energy—they swim at certain depths to avoid wasting energy. Just like swimmers who dive underwater to move faster, sea animals avoid creating waves at the surface (表面), as waves create a force that slows them down, making them use more energy. Researchers studied penguins, sea turtles, and whales using trackers (追踪器). They noticed something interesting: when traveling long distances, these animals swim at depths about three times their body’s thickness (from back to chest). For example, a little penguin (30 cm thick) swims around 90 cm below the surface, while a blue whale (20 m thick) stays near 60 meters deep. This matches a science rule: the force from waves drops a lot when an object is underwater at three times its thickness. By following this rule, animals save energy for important things like finding food or caring for their young. This discovery is not just about science—it also helps protect sea animals. Many sea creatures are in danger because of human actions. For example, whales often get hit by ships. If ships avoid the depths where whales swim, fewer accidents might happen. Similarly, sea turtles, which travel thousands of miles to lay eggs, sometimes get caught in fishing nets. Changing the depth at which nets are set could save many turtles. By tracking swim depths, we can design better ways to protect these animals. Of course, sea animals don’t always stick to energy-saving depths. They dive deeper for other reasons. Dolphins might dive down to catch fish, while seals swim deeper to hide from sharks. However, during long journeys, the “three-body-thickness” rule is their key to saving energy. Understanding these behaviors shows how smart sea animals are—and how humans can help them. By combining science with efforts to save the environment, we can protect these amazing creatures and the oceans they call home. 27. Why do sea animals avoid creating waves at the surface during long journeys? A. To prevent physical harm. B. To make breathing easy. C. To keep energy saved. D. To avoid getting lost. 28. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. What problems the sea animals face. B. What depths the sea animals swim at. C. How people can adjust actions for sea animals. D. How people improve the ways to study sea animals. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Seals prefer swimming lower underwater for fish hunting. B. Penguins are less affected by wave force at energy-saving depths. C. Sea turtles usually dive deeper during long journeys to lay eggs. D. Whales are easily hit by ships because they always travel around. D The convenience of looking up facts on a phone anytime is a modern wonder, but are we becoming unwilling to think? A new study shows that the more we use the Internet for information recall, the more we will do so in the future. Psychologists first asked people a set of difficult questions. One group was told to use a search engine to answer them, while the other group had to answer from memory. Next, both groups were given easier questions and offered the choice of whether to search online or not. It turned out that the people who had used the search engine before were more likely to use it again—even when it was more inconvenient, like having to open a browser and type the question. This shows that once we start relying on the Internet, we tend to keep doing it. It would be unreasonable to draw the conclusion that no one will bother remembering anything at all. But such a conclusion may still be used as grist to the mill for those who argue that the Internet makes us stupid. The truth, of course, depends on what “stupid” means. If we all come to increase our “cognitive offloading (认知的卸载)” onto the Internet, that may simply promote a shift in the way we value mental abilities. Since recall of facts is now so easy through the Internet, we may just become less impressed by factual knowledge, and more impressed by understanding and creativity. It may help put things in a clear light to recall that such argument was already carried out at the very birth of Western culture. An ancient Egyptian inventor showed the Egyptian king his inventions and he was particularly proud of writing, “This invention will make the Egyptians wiser.” But the king thought the opposite. Writing, he argued, would “produce forgetfulness in people’s minds, because they won’t practice their memory.” Writing itself is just as much an external technology as the Internet is. Writing is also a tool of extended cognition. The difference is that we have had thousands of years to get used to it. The truth about the question of whether our reliance on modern electronic devices is better or worse for us is that it’s simply too early to tell. Of course, this doesn’t mean laziness is good. But what looks like laziness today might become a new way of thinking tomorrow. 30. What did online searching cause in the new study? A. Mental effort. B. Habitual dependence. C. Poor memory. D. Information confusion. 31. What does the underlined phrase “grist to the mill” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Effective support. B. Real concern. C. Clear doubt. D. Mild opposition. 32. Why is the story of the Egyptian king mentioned? A. To help us understand what kind of effects a new technology can have on people’s minds. B. To explain how the invention of writing first came into being and how it started. C. To compare different kinds of inventions and see how they are different from one another. D. To show that people in the past had the same worries about new things as we do. 33. What can be the best title for the passage? A. How New Tools Change Our Brain B. Is the Internet Making Minds Lazy? C. Internet or Memory: Which to Choose? D. Cognitive Offloading: A New Choice 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共 10 分，34-36 每小题 2 分，37 题 4 分） As online learning becomes more common and more resources are changed to digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and everyone should be given a tablet. Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they can simply click on what they want to read wherever they are. However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. Digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs. book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on tablets, remember 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read, compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, compared with reading print, staring too long at a screen results in more frequent blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes and headaches. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens. It is very narrow-minded to think that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a lot of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to talk to their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs and keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library started community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for old people, over a third of local people reported feeling more connected to their community. Therefore, people see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, which are benefits that tablets can’t offer as well or as easily. While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the many issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many library benefits that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object. 34. Why do some people believe tablet reading can encourage more people to read? ______________________________________ 35. Compared with reading print, what health problems may staring too long at a screen cause? ______________________________________ 36. How did a local library help over a third of local people feel more connected to their community? ______________________________________ 37. Do you think public libraries should be replaced by tablets? Why or why not?

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述乐观男孩米奇通过拼贴图将负面情绪转化为艺术的故事。老师受此启发，最终整个社区都充满了乐观的艺术氛围。 【13题详解】 句意：没人记得曾见过他生气。 前文交代米奇友善、开朗、乐观，后文写他不在意别人的评价，可知没有人看见过他生气，应用angry（生气的）；sorry愧疚的、pleased开心的、excited激动的，均和后文不在意他人非议的语境矛盾。 【14题详解】 句意：据说米奇的善良一定来自某个特殊的秘密。 后文老师上门探访才发现拼贴墙这件不为人知的事，secret（秘密）贴合语境；courage勇气、idea想法、culture文化，无法对应后文老师偶然发现拼贴墙的情节。 【15题详解】 句意：米奇开始解释道…… 后文一整段都是米奇向老师说明拼贴墙的由来，explain（解释）符合语境；ask询问、require要求、suggest建议，和他诉说内心想法的行为不符。 【16题详解】 句意：我可以为它使用任意种类的材料和色彩。 空后“any kind of material and color”是制作拼贴需用材料，use（使用）贴合搭配；mark标记、spread传播、admire欣赏，无法搭配创作拼贴画的材料。 【17题详解】 句意：老师凑近细看这面墙。 前文提到“The huge far wall was a unique collage”，可知老师观察的是墙，wall（墙）对应前文原句；door门、window窗户、table桌子，无原文线索支撑。 【18题详解】 句意：这就是我开始把所有糟糕时期转化为机会，丰富我的拼贴画的方式。 根据语境“将糟糕时期转化为机会”，固定搭配turn...into... 把……转化为……，符合语境，turning符合句式；looking看、knocking敲、moving移动，无该固定搭配，语义不通。 【19题详解】 句意：它们给了我创作新艺术品的素材。 联系前文利用糟糕的心情来创作拼贴图，属于艺术品，再根据后文“Each house contained its own magnificent works of art”，可知这里是指艺术品，对应“work of art”，应用art（艺术）；style风格、regret遗憾、change改变，无法对应拼贴创作这件事。 【20题详解】 句意：那天他们讨论了很多事情，但老师永远不会忘记的是，一个普通的男孩是如何向他展示了保持开朗乐观性格的秘密——把糟糕的时刻变成微笑的机会。 全文核心：米奇把烦心事变成创作、收获好心情，smile（微笑）贴合乐观的主旨；wonder惊叹、practice练习、honor荣耀，和文章积极治愈的中心不符。 三、阅读理解（26分，每小题2分） A 阅读下列俱乐部介绍，请根据人物喜好或需求匹配其最适合参加的俱乐部，并将俱乐部所对应的A、B、C、D选项填在相应位置上。选项中有一项为多余选项。 A Music Club B Sports Club Welcome to our Music Club.

He would feel better if he joined his friends at the Old People’s Home. As he did not want to stay around the house any longer, he got into the first taxi he saw. He was still sad while he was in it. He got down from the taxi and realized how fine the weather was. The sun was shining brightly as if to give him joy. The chirping of the birds lightened his heart. He walked with a spring in his steps to Old People’s Home. As he looked around, he saw people laughing and enjoying themselves. These old people didn’t get much care or attention from their busy children, yet they were happy. Why should he be sad? A mobile phone was not quite a big deal after all. Then he decided to go home. After getting home, he started to tidy his table, knowing that his mother expected him to do so. Wait! What’s this? An air ticket to Pulau Redang (热浪岛) for a scuba diving course! “The mobile phone is nice, but we prefer that you learn something rather than have the latest mobile phone. Hope you will like our present.” With tears of excitement, Mansor realized that he should have known that his parents would never forget his birthday. 24. What did Mansor do to get the present he wanted? A. He talked to his parents. B. He gave hints to his parents. C. He carefully cleaned his table. D. He paid a visit to his good friends. 25. After seeing those old people, Mansor ________. A. felt their life was so boring B. realized he shouldn’t be sad C. wanted to offer help to them D. hoped to get another present 26. The parents bought the ticket for Mansor because they ________. A. didn’t want to let him down B. didn’t like the mobile phone C. expected him to learn something D. hoped he could respect their wishes 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述Mansor生日期待手机礼物，误会父母忘记生日，最后发现父母送他潜水课程机票的故事。 【24题详解】 根据文章第一段 “He had given various hints (暗示) about what he really wanted...”可知，Mansor 通过给父母暗示来想要得到他想要的礼物。 【25题详解】 根据文章第四段“These old people didn’t get much care or attention from their busy children, yet they were happy.

Scientists have discovered that these air-breathing animals have a smart way to save energy—they swim at certain depths to avoid wasting energy. Just like swimmers who dive underwater to move faster, sea animals avoid creating waves at the surface (表面), as waves create a force that slows them down, making them use more energy. Researchers studied penguins, sea turtles, and whales using trackers (追踪器). They noticed something interesting: when traveling long distances, these animals swim at depths about three times their body’s thickness (from back to chest). For example, a little penguin (30 cm thick) swims around 90 cm below the surface, while a blue whale (20 m thick) stays near 60 meters deep. This matches a science rule: the force from waves drops a lot when an object is underwater at three times its thickness. By following this rule, animals save energy for important things like finding food or caring for their young. This discovery is not just about science—it also helps protect sea animals. Many sea creatures are in danger because of human actions. For example, whales often get hit by ships. If ships avoid the depths where whales swim, fewer accidents might happen. Similarly, sea turtles, which travel thousands of miles to lay eggs, sometimes get caught in fishing nets. Changing the depth at which nets are set could save many turtles. By tracking swim depths, we can design better ways to protect these animals. Of course, sea animals don’t always stick to energy-saving depths. They dive deeper for other reasons. Dolphins might dive down to catch fish, while seals swim deeper to hide from sharks. However, during long journeys, the “three-body-thickness” rule is their key to saving energy. Understanding these behaviors shows how smart sea animals are—and how humans can help them. By combining science with efforts to save the environment, we can protect these amazing creatures and the oceans they call home. 27. Why do sea animals avoid creating waves at the surface during long journeys? A. To prevent physical harm. B. To make breathing easy. C. To keep energy saved. D. To avoid getting lost. 28. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. What problems the sea animals face. B. What depths the sea animals swim at. C. How people can adjust actions for sea animals. D. How people improve the ways to study sea animals. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Seals prefer swimming lower underwater for fish hunting. B. Penguins are less affected by wave force at energy-saving depths. C. Sea turtles usually dive deeper during long journeys to lay eggs. D. Whales are easily hit by ships because they always travel around. 【答案】27. C 28. C 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了海洋动物如鲸鱼、海龟和企鹅在长途迁徙中通过特定深度游泳来节省能量的策略，并探讨了这一发现对保护海洋动物的意义。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Scientists have discovered that these air-breathing animals have a smart way to save energy—they swim at certain depths to avoid wasting energy.”可知，海洋动物避免制造波浪是为了减少能量消耗。故选C。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。阅读第3段，根据“Many sea creatures are in danger because of human actions.”和“By tracking swim depths, we can design better ways to protect these animals.”可推知，本段主要讨论人类如何根据海洋动物的游泳深度调整行为以保护它们。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第2段“For example, a little penguin (30 cm thick) swims around 90 cm below the surface, while a blue whale (20 m thick) stays near 60 meters deep.”和“This matches a science rule: the force from waves drops a lot when an object is underwater at three times its thickness.”可知，一只小企鹅在水面下约90厘米处游泳，而一头蓝鲸则停留在60米深的水下。当物体在水下的厚度是其厚度的三倍时，波浪的作用力会大大降低。可推知，企鹅在节能深度受波浪影响较小。故选B。 D The convenience of looking up facts on a phone anytime is a modern wonder, but are we becoming unwilling to think? A new study shows that the more we use the Internet for information recall, the more we will do so in the future. Psychologists first asked people a set of difficult questions. One group was told to use a search engine to answer them, while the other group had to answer from memory. Next, both groups were given easier questions and offered the choice of whether to search online or not. It turned out that the people who had used the search engine before were more likely to use it again—even when it was more inconvenient, like having to open a browser and type the question. This shows that once we start relying on the Internet, we tend to keep doing it. It would be unreasonable to draw the conclusion that no one will bother remembering anything at all. But such a conclusion may still be used as grist to the mill for those who argue that the Internet makes us stupid. The truth, of course, depends on what “stupid” means. If we all come to increase our “cognitive offloading (认知的卸载)” onto the Internet, that may simply promote a shift in the way we value mental abilities. Since recall of facts is now so easy through the Internet, we may just become less impressed by factual knowledge, and more impressed by understanding and creativity. It may help put things in a clear light to recall that such argument was already carried out at the very birth of Western culture. An ancient Egyptian inventor showed the Egyptian king his inventions and he was particularly proud of writing, “This invention will make the Egyptians wiser.” But the king thought the opposite. Writing, he argued, would “produce forgetfulness in people’s minds, because they won’t practice their memory.” Writing itself is just as much an external technology as the Internet is. Writing is also a tool of extended cognition. The difference is that we have had thousands of years to get used to it. The truth about the question of whether our reliance on modern electronic devices is better or worse for us is that it’s simply too early to tell. Of course, this doesn’t mean laziness is good. But what looks like laziness today might become a new way of thinking tomorrow. 30. What did online searching cause in the new study? A. Mental effort. B. Habitual dependence. C. Poor memory. D. Information confusion. 31. What does the underlined phrase “grist to the mill” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Effective support. B. Real concern. C. Clear doubt. D. Mild opposition. 32. Why is the story of the Egyptian king mentioned? A. To help us understand what kind of effects a new technology can have on people’s minds. B. To explain how the invention of writing first came into being and how it started. C. To compare different kinds of inventions and see how they are different from one another. D. To show that people in the past had the same worries about new things as we do. 33. What can be the best title for the passage? A. How New Tools Change Our Brain B. Is the Internet Making Minds Lazy? C. Internet or Memory: Which to Choose? D. Cognitive Offloading: A New Choice 【答案】30. B 31. A 32. D 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了人们过度依赖互联网获取信息可能导致的“认知卸载”现象，并通过历史类比分析了对新技术的担忧是否合理。 【30题详解】 文章第二段最后一句“This shows that once we start relying on the Internet, we tend to keep doing it.”指出，一旦人们开始依赖互联网搜索，就会倾向于持续这样做，即形成习惯性依赖。 【31题详解】 文章第三段第二句“But such a conclusion may still be used as grist to the mill for those who argue that the Internet makes us stupid.”指出，这种结论可能被那些认为互联网使人变蠢的人用作“grist to the mill”。结合语境，此处表示为他们提供支持其观点的论据，因此该短语意为“有效的支持”。 【32题详解】 文章第四段通过古埃及国王反对文字发明的故事，与当下人们对互联网的担忧形成类比。第五段最后两句“The truth...is that it’s simply too early to tell...what looks like laziness today might become a new way of thinking tomorrow.”指出，现在判断互联网是好是坏为时过早，今天的懒惰可能成为明天的思维方式。因此提到埃及国王的故事是为了说明古人对新技术也有同样的担忧。 【33题详解】 文章第一段提出问题“are we becoming unwilling to think”；第二段用实验说明人们会习惯性依赖互联网；第三段讨论“认知卸载”及对智力价值评判标准的变化；第四、五段用文字发明的历史类比说明对新技术的担忧自古有之；最后一段指出现在下结论为时过早。全文围绕“互联网是否正在让思维变懒”这一核心问题展开讨论。因此B项“互联网是否让思维变懒？”最适合作标题。 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共 10 分，34-36 每小题 2 分，37 题 4 分） As online learning becomes more common and more resources are changed to digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and everyone should be given a tablet. Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they can simply click on what they want to read wherever they are. However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. Digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs. book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on tablets, remember 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read, compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, compared with reading print, staring too long at a screen results in more frequent blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes and headaches. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens. It is very narrow-minded to think that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a lot of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to talk to their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs and keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library started community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for old people, over a third of local people reported feeling more connected to their community. Therefore, people see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, which are benefits that tablets can’t offer as well or as easily. While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the many issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many library benefits that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object. 34. Why do some people believe tablet reading can encourage more people to read? ______________________________________ 35. Compared with reading print, what health problems may staring too long at a screen cause? ______________________________________ 36. How did a local library help over a third of local people feel more connected to their community? ______________________________________ 37. Do you think public libraries should be replaced by tablets? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) ______________________________________ 【答案】34. Because they can simply click on what they want to read wherever they are. 35. It may cause more frequent blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes and headaches. 36. By starting community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for old people. 37. No, I don’t think so. Because staring too long at a screen results in health problems, and libraries offer many benefits that tablets can’t offer.
