When exams came, I revised for hours without break. But in recent years, I’ve watched that capacity for intense concentration fade into infinite phone scrolling (滚动). My attention span contracts like a candle in the wind. I want to restore that mental flexibility. So, about a year ago, I made a small promise: every time I encountered a word I didn’t know, I’d look it up and write it down. Nothing complicated, just a running list kept, ironically, on my phone. Each week, I’d review to fix words into my memory. The list now covers almost 20 pages, and this tiny routine has been quietly transformative. Each time I look up, record and review a word, I feel a faint stretch, as though some neglected part of my brain is flexing again. It’s not an easy habit to keep up, often impractical. If I’m reading on the subway, I have to stop mid-paragraph, pull out my phone and type “millenarianism” into my Google document while trying not to knock into strangers. It can slow my reading to a maddening pace. And then there’s the revising, dutifully scrolling through my growing word-collection like preparing a vocabulary test. Realistically, I apply maybe 5% of these words into my everyday speech. Most remain like museum pieces-admired but rarely handled. Still, it’s made my mind sharper. I find myself reaching less often for the same tired adjectives, and more often for something precise. Few things are more satisfying than unearthing the exact word you seek. In an age when our devices absorb our attention with merciless efficiency, it feels unconventional to use mine as a tool for slow thinking. And it’s given me back something I feared I’d lost—the pleasure of exercising a mind that, after years of mindless scrolling, is finally waking up again. 4. Why did the author begin noting down unfamiliar words? A. To prepare for a vocabulary test. B. To collect rare words for daily use. C. To regain the ability to focus deeply. D. To replace phone use with useful tasks. 5. What can we know about the author’s word-recording habit? A. It requires his consistent effort. B. It speeds up his reading process. C. It improves his everyday speech. D. It enables him to use most words. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Common adjectives might be misused. B. Using precise words fulfills the author. C. Poor vocabulary does harm to thinking. D. The author no longer uses simple adjectives. 7. What does the underlined word “mine” refer to in the last paragraph? A. The author’s attention. B. The author’s time. C. The author’s vocabulary. D. The author’s phone. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者如何通过记录并复习不熟悉的单词来恢复和提升自己的专注力和思维灵活性。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But in recent years, I’ve watched that capacity for intense concentration fade into infinite phone scrolling (滚动). My attention span contracts like a candle in the wind. I want to restore that mental flexibility.(但近年来，我发现自己这种高度专注的能力逐渐消失，取而代之的是无休止地刷手机。我的注意力就像风中的蜡烛一样摇曳不定。我想重新找回那种思维的灵活性。)”和第二段“So, about a year ago, I made a small promise: every time I encountered a word I didn’t know, I’d look it up and write it down.(于是，大约一年前，我给自己定下了一个小小的承诺：每次遇到不认识的单词，我都会查一查并记下来。)”可知，作者开始记录不熟悉的单词是为了重新获得深度专注的能力。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The list now covers almost 20 pages, and this tiny routine has been quietly transformative.(现在，这份清单已经快有20页了，而这个小小的习惯也在悄然改变着我。)”可知，作者记录单词的习惯需要他持续不断的努力。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Few things are more satisfying than unearthing the exact word you seek.(没有什么比找到你想要的准确词汇更令人满足的了。)”可知，从第四段可以推断出使用精确的词汇让作者感到满足。故选B。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“In an age when our devices absorb our attention with merciless efficiency, it feels unconventional to use mine as a tool for slow thinking.(在这个我们的设备无情地吞噬着我们注意力的时代，用我的手机作为慢思考的工具，似乎有些不合常规。)”可知，划线词前面那句在说“我们的设备无情地吞噬着我们注意力的时代”，前面讲到作者用手机记录单词，因此此处表示“用我的手机作为慢思考的工具”，mine指的是“作者的手机”。故选D。 C Now a lot of people are paying much money to get their children the music teaching. As we know to learn an instrument such as the violin or accordion takes years. The job opportunities for musicians are scarce and competition is fierce. Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good cash to get their children the best music teaching they can afford? The secret lies in the influence of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person’s IQ over time. Different instruments and different types of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string family coming out on top, potentially increasing you IQ by up to 12 points! When is a good time to start learning music? Experts have found that even the fetus can benefit from listening to classical music. Surround yourself and your family with good music from the first. The Suzuki Piano Method teaches children from the age of 3 years piano, with two lessons per week. From preschool, children can learn to read music and play from sheet music. Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional to the amount of practicing. Is there such a thing as an unmusical child? Shinichi Suzuki proposes that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be “unmusical”. Of course there are exceptional talents, compared to which others may seem to be slower learners. Is there any benefit for adults in starting an instrument? Apart from the purely relaxing aspect, yes. Learning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels. Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Childish (musical get-togethers) or arrange house concerts. It has been established that people who play instruments tend to be more emotionally balanced and more patient with themselves, others and life in general. So go ahead, sign up for that amateur orchestra, dust off your old trombone or take your first real six-string down from the attic; get out there and play! 8.

It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person’s IQ over time. Different instruments and different types of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string family coming out on top, potentially increasing you IQ by up to 12 points!(秘诀在于音乐对整个人的影响。人们已经发现，学习一种乐器实际上可以随着时间的推移提高一个人的智商。不同的乐器和不同类型的音乐有不同的效果，古典音乐和弦乐系列最受欢迎，可能会让你的智商提高12点！)”可知，这么多人花这么多钱让他们的孩子接受音乐教育是因为他们想提高孩子的智商。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Different instruments and different types of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string family coming out on top, potentially increasing you IQ by up to 12 points!(不同的乐器和不同类型的音乐有不同的效果，古典音乐和弦乐系列最受欢迎，可能会让你的智商提高12点！)”可知，A选项“拉小提琴最能帮助提高一个人的智商”正确。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Is there such a thing as an unmusical child? Shinichi Suzuki proposes that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be “unmusical”.(有没有不懂音乐的孩子？Shinichi Suzuki提出，音乐是所有人类的母语，因此没有人是“不懂音乐的”)”可知， Shinichi Suzuki认为每个孩子天生就有音乐天赋。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The secret lies in the influence of music on the whole person.

The system involves a network of tunnels and high-technology treatment centers. Reused wastewater can now meet 40 percent of Singapore’s water demand. Most of the water is used for microchip manufacturing centers and cooling systems in buildings. But some of it is added to the country’s drinking water supplies. The system helps reduce ocean pollution, as only a small amount of the treated water is sent into the sea. Singapore, as an island nation, has long had to depend mostly on supplies from neighboring Malaysia. Low Pei Chin, chief engineer of the water reclamation department of the Public Utilities Board, told reporters with Independent, “Singapore lacks natural resources, and it is limited in space, which is why we are always looking for ways to explore water sources and stretch our water supply.” The Changi Water Reclamation Plant on Singapore’s eastern coast is the main part of the country’s recycling system. Parts of the water treatment center are underground. Wastewater enters the center through a 48-kilometer tunnel that is linked to sewers (下水道). The center contains a large system of steel pipes, tubes, tanks, cleaning systems and other machinery. It can treat up to 900 million liters of wastewater a day. Waste that arrives at the plant goes through a cleaning process before powerful pumps send it flowing to areas above ground for more treatment. There, the treated water receives additional cleaning. Bacteria and viruses are removed through highly developed cleaning processes. Singapore is also in the process of expanding its recycling system. The country will add another underground tunnel and a major water treatment center to serve the western half of the island. Officials expect work on the center to be completed by 2025. By the time the expansion is finished, Singapore will have spent about $7.4 billion on its water treatment systems. 12. What can we know about the treated water? A. Most of it is sent into the sea. B. It can meet the whole country’s water demand. C. It is only used in the factories. D. Some of it can supply people with drinking water. 13. Why has Singapore always relied on its neighbor for most of its water supply? A. It is an island nation. B. Its people dislike using recycled water. C. It is short of water resources. D. Its water consumption is particularly high. 14. Which of the following is correct about the recycling of the wastewater? A. The water treatment center is underground. B. Wastewater enters the center through 48 tanks. C. Bacteria and viruses may be found in the treated water. D. The treated water receives additional cleaning in the plant. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Singapore Turns Wastewater into Drinking Water B. Singapore Builds a Strong Water-saving Culture C. What Are Singapore’s Water Success and Lessons? D. How Singapore Is Putting a Stop to Water Running out? 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新加坡创建的将废水转化为饮用水的高度发达系统。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Reused wastewater can now meet 40 percent of Singapore’s water demand. Most of the water is used for microchip manufacturing centers and cooling systems in buildings. But some of it is added to the country’s drinking water supplies.(再利用的废水现在可以满足新加坡40%的用水需求。大部分水用于微芯片制造中心和建筑物的冷却系统。但其中一些被添加到该国的饮用水供应中)”可知，处理后的水有一部分可以供人们饮用。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Singapore, as an island nation, has long had to depend mostly on supplies from neighboring Malaysia. Low Pei Chin, chief engineer of the water reclamation department of the Public Utilities Board, told reporters with Independent, ‘Singapore lacks natural resources, and it is limited in space, which is why we are always looking for ways to explore water sources and stretch our water supply.’(新加坡作为一个岛国，长期以来不得不主要依赖邻国马来西亚的供水。公用事业局水资源回收部门总工程师Low Pei Chin告诉《独立报》记者：‘新加坡缺乏自然资源，空间有限，这就是为什么我们一直在寻找开发水源和增加供水的方法。’)”可知，新加坡一直依赖邻国供水是因为它缺乏水资源。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Waste that arrives at the plant goes through a cleaning process before powerful pumps send it flowing to areas above ground for more treatment. There, the treated water receives additional cleaning.(到达工厂的废水在强大的水泵将其输送到地面以上区域进行更多处理之前，要经过一个清洁过程。在那里，经过处理的水会接受额外的清洁)”可知，处理后的水在工厂会接受额外的清洁，所以D项“The treated water receives additional cleaning in the plant.”是正确表述。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“The government of Singapore has created a highly developed system that turns wastewater into drinking water.(新加坡政府创建了一个高度发达的系统，将废水转化为饮用水)”可知，本文主要介绍了新加坡将废水转化为饮用水的系统。故A项“Singapore Turns Wastewater into Drinking Water(新加坡将废水转化为饮用水)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reading is a basic skill that opens doors to knowledge, imagination, and personal growth.____16____Children learn new words, adults reduce stress and the elderly has a sense of satisfaction through reading.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在祖父阁楼发现一把破旧吉他，尽管朋友建议买新的，他仍决定修复它。修复过程漫长而困难，但最终成功让吉他发声。作者由此感悟，吉他的瑕疵如同人的缺点，真正的美不在于消除它们，而在于接受并赋予其新的意义，这构成了我们独特的价值。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它立在那里，布满灰尘——也许象征着祖父很久以前就已放弃的梦想。A. expressed表达；B. recorded记录；C. abandoned放弃；D. defended捍卫。根据前文“old guitar”、“covered in dust”以及“dreams”等词可知，这把吉他被遗忘在阁楼，暗示着祖父的音乐梦想可能早已“放弃”。故选C项。 【22题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我决定修理这件乐器。A. decorate装饰；B. borrow借用；C. sell售卖；D. repair修理。根据后文“Cleaning the wood, replacing the strings, and learning to tune it”等一系列具体修复动作，可知作者决定“修理”这把吉他。故选D项。 【23题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我的朋友觉得我疯了，建议我买一把好使的新吉他。A. perfectly完美地；B. actively积极地；C. specially特别地；D. tirelessly不知疲倦地。根据前文朋友觉得作者修旧吉他的想法“crazy”可推知，朋友建议直接买新吉他，因为新吉他可以“完美地”工作。故选A项。 【24题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但我对这把沉默的吉他有种奇怪的连接感，仿佛它有一个等待被倾听的故事。A. connection连接，联系；B. response回应；C. challenge挑战；D. solution解决方案。根据前文“a symbol of dreams my grandfather had perhaps  long ago.”和后文“as if it had a story waiting to be heard”可知，作者认为这把旧吉他有关于祖父的故事，产生了情感上的“联系”。故选A项。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这个过程远比我想象的要痛苦。A. meaningful有意义的；B. painful痛苦的；C. mysterious神秘的；D. addictive上瘾的。根据后文“There were moments when I felt disappointed, and I wondered if I should .”可知修复过程充满挫折，令人沮丧，因此是“痛苦的”。故选B项。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：清洁木头、更换琴弦、学习调音都需要大量的耐心。A. interest兴趣；B. money金钱；C. luck运气；D. patience耐心。根据前文描述修复过程“far more  than I had imagined”和“Cleaning the wood, replacing the strings, and learning to tune”这些细致繁琐的工作可知，修复需要“耐心”。故选D项。 【27题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：有些时刻我感到失望，我怀疑自己是否应该放弃。A. calm down冷静；B. step in介入；C. give up放弃；D. stand out突出。根据前文“felt disappointed”以及修复过程的艰难可知，作者产生了“放弃”的念头。故选C项。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然后，一天晚上，当我转动最后一个琴栓时，咔哒一声(成功了)。A. broke打破；B. clicked发出咔哒声，进展顺利；C. disappeared消失；D. mattered要紧。根据语境“turned the final peg”可推知，调整琴栓到位时通常会发出“咔哒”声，表示安装到位，且click有“进展顺利，恍然大悟”的意思，一语双关。故选B项。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：虽然它仍然需要调整，但声音是真实的——粗糙，但却有生命力。A. explanation解释；B. reference参考；C. protection保护；D. adjustment调整。根据前文可知，吉他刚修好，并且是第一次弹奏，结合后文“the sound was real-raw”可知，声音还不够完美，所以需要进一步的“调整”。故选D项。 【30题详解】 考查介词词义辨析。句意：这把吉他像我一样。A. beyond超越；B. against反对；C. like像；D. behind在……后面。根据后文“We were both works in progress.”可知，作者将吉他与自己类比，认为他们都在不断进步中，所以吉他是“像”他一样。故选C项。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：划痕和不完美是我们过往的一部分，而不是需要隐藏的东西。A. imperfections不完美；B. performances表演；C. opportunities机会；D. impossibilities不可能。根据前文“scratches”和后文“not something to be hidden”与“in getting rid of the flaws (瑕疵)”可知，吉他有瑕疵，“不完美”。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但真正的美不在于消除瑕疵，而在于改善它们。A. difficulty困难；B. beauty美；C. method方法；D. rule规则。根据后文“It was in  the imperfections and giving them a new voice”可知，这是一种升华和欣赏，因此指的是“美”的真谛。故选B项。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：美在于接受不完美，并赋予它们新的声音。A. accepting接受；B. observing观察；C. encouraging鼓励；D. investigating调查。根据前文“But the true  was not in getting rid of the flaws (瑕疵)”可知，作者认为美不在于消除瑕疵，与“getting rid of”相对应，在于“接受”不完美。故选A项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：现在，当我弹奏时，我记得我们自身的瑕疵和修复并不会减少我们的价值。A. standard标准；B. curiosity好奇；C. worth价值；D. loss损失。根据前文“our own flaws and repairs don’t reduce”和后文“They make us .”可知，瑕疵让我们独特，这并不会贬低我们的“价值”，反而可能增加价值。故选C项。 【35题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它们使我们变得独特。A. ashamed羞愧的；B. popular受欢迎的；C. negative消极的；D. unique独特的。根据后文“They show that we’ve been through something and have chosen to sing again.”可知，经历并修复过的瑕疵成为了我们故事的一部分，这正是我们“独一无二”的原因。故选D项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A music concert “Echoes of Ancient Tang Poems” performed by iSING!

In my class, there were students who could raise a hand without trembling, who could read aloud as if their voices were made for attention. I was not one of them. When our English teacher announced a storytelling contest, my stomach tightened. “Everyone will try,” she said, smiling as if it were a gift. My classmates began discussing topics immediately. I kept my eyes on my notebook, pretending to be busy. That afternoon, while I was cleaning the blackboard, I found a crumpled card under the teacher’s desk. It was a judging card from last year, with a sentence written on the back: “Speak to one person, not to a crowd.” I didn’t know who wrote it, but the words felt like a quiet hand on my shoulder. At home, I practiced in front of the mirror. The mirror offered no applause, only my own nervous face. On the day of the contest, the auditorium lights looked brighter than usual. My hands were cold, and my mouth felt dry. When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage and saw rows of blurred faces. For a moment, I wanted to run. Then I remembered the card in my pocket. 续写要求： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I took a deep breath and searched for just one face in the audience. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the contest, I unfolded the card once more and understood it differently. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: I took a deep breath and searched for just one face in the audience. I noticed my English teacher, who was sitting in the front row and giving me a supportive smile. Her smile made me feel that I was not alone and that I had someone who believed in me. I focused on her face and began to tell my story as if I were speaking only to her, ignoring the rest of the crowd. As I spoke, I found that my nervousness gradually faded away, and I felt more and more confident. Paragraph 2: After the contest, I unfolded the card once more and understood it differently. The sentence “Speak to one person, not to a crowd” not only gave me courage during the contest but also taught me a valuable lesson. It reminded me that confidence comes from within and that I should not be afraid to express myself, no matter who is listening. What matters is that I believe in myself and my abilities, which is what the card had been trying to tell me all along. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者曾认为自信属于他人，自己总是紧张不自信。英语老师宣布讲故事比赛时，作者很紧张。偶然作者发现一张写有鼓励话语的卡片，比赛当天紧张至极时，作者想起了它。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我深吸一口气，在观众中努力寻找一张熟悉的面孔。”可知，第一段可以描写作者在观众中找到老师，描写老师的表情带来的心理感受，接着写作者专注于她讲述故事，以及讲述过程中心态的变化。 ②由第二段句首内容“比赛结束后，我再次展开那张卡片，对上面的话有了新的理解。”可知，第二段可以描写作者重新理解卡片上的话，点明这句话带来的勇气和教会的道理，进而升华对自信的认知，点出卡片话语的真正内涵。 2.续写线索：深呼吸找观众面孔 —— 看到老师的鼓励微笑 —— 专注她讲述故事 —— 紧张感消退变得自信 —— 赛后重读卡片——有新理解 —— 领悟话语内涵与自信的真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/spot/observe ②支持性地微笑：give a supportive smile/smile supportively ③专注于：focus on/concentrate on/fix one’s attention on 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety/tension ②自信：confidence/self-assurance/self-confidence 【点睛】【高分句型1】I noticed my English teacher, who was sitting in the front row and giving me a supportive smile.

But in recent years, I’ve watched that capacity for intense concentration fade into infinite phone scrolling (滚动). My attention span contracts like a candle in the wind. I want to restore that mental flexibility. So, about a year ago, I made a small promise: every time I encountered a word I didn’t know, I’d look it up and write it down. Nothing complicated, just a running list kept, ironically, on my phone. Each week, I’d review to fix words into my memory. The list now covers almost 20 pages, and this tiny routine has been quietly transformative. Each time I look up, record and review a word, I feel a faint stretch, as though some neglected part of my brain is flexing again. It’s not an easy habit to keep up, often impractical. If I’m reading on the subway, I have to stop mid-paragraph, pull out my phone and type “millenarianism” into my Google document while trying not to knock into strangers. It can slow my reading to a maddening pace. And then there’s the revising, dutifully scrolling through my growing word-collection like preparing a vocabulary test. Realistically, I apply maybe 5% of these words into my everyday speech. Most remain like museum pieces-admired but rarely handled. Still, it’s made my mind sharper. I find myself reaching less often for the same tired adjectives, and more often for something precise. Few things are more satisfying than unearthing the exact word you seek. In an age when our devices absorb our attention with merciless efficiency, it feels unconventional to use mine as a tool for slow thinking. And it’s given me back something I feared I’d lost—the pleasure of exercising a mind that, after years of mindless scrolling, is finally waking up again. 4. Why did the author begin noting down unfamiliar words? A. To prepare for a vocabulary test. B. To collect rare words for daily use. C. To regain the ability to focus deeply. D. To replace phone use with useful tasks. 5. What can we know about the author’s word-recording habit? A. It requires his consistent effort. B. It speeds up his reading process. C. It improves his everyday speech. D. It enables him to use most words. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Common adjectives might be misused. B. Using precise words fulfills the author. C. Poor vocabulary does harm to thinking. D. The author no longer uses simple adjectives. 7. What does the underlined word “mine” refer to in the last paragraph? A. The author’s attention. B. The author’s time. C. The author’s vocabulary. D. The author’s phone. C Now a lot of people are paying much money to get their children the music teaching. As we know to learn an instrument such as the violin or accordion takes years. The job opportunities for musicians are scarce and competition is fierce. Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good cash to get their children the best music teaching they can afford? The secret lies in the influence of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person’s IQ over time. Different instruments and different types of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string family coming out on top, potentially increasing you IQ by up to 12 points! When is a good time to start learning music? Experts have found that even the fetus can benefit from listening to classical music. Surround yourself and your family with good music from the first. The Suzuki Piano Method teaches children from the age of 3 years piano, with two lessons per week. From preschool, children can learn to read music and play from sheet music. Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional to the amount of practicing. Is there such a thing as an unmusical child? Shinichi Suzuki proposes that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be “unmusical”. Of course there are exceptional talents, compared to which others may seem to be slower learners. Is there any benefit for adults in starting an instrument? Apart from the purely relaxing aspect, yes. Learning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels. Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Childish (musical get-togethers) or arrange house concerts. It has been established that people who play instruments tend to be more emotionally balanced and more patient with themselves, others and life in general. So go ahead, sign up for that amateur orchestra, dust off your old trombone or take your first real six-string down from the attic; get out there and play! 8. Why are so many people paying a lot of money to get their children the music teaching? A. All of them and their children like music very much. B. They want to increase their children’s IQ. C. They know to learn an instrument takes years. D. They want their children to become great musicians. 9. Which of the following is true in the author’s opinion? A. Playing the violin can help increase a person’s IQ most. B. The piano is the most important instrument. C. People like the trombone the most. D. Playing the accordion can help read music. 10. What Shinichi Suzuki says means ________. A. every child has natural talent for music B. all people can understand and read music C. it is too late for an adult to start an instrument D. the progress in learning an instrument depends on natural gifts 11. What is mainly discussed in the material? A. Whether we must attend Childish B. The people’s interest in musical instruments C. The importance of music in development D. How to send our children to music schools D The government of Singapore has created a highly developed system that turns wastewater into drinking water. The system involves a network of tunnels and high-technology treatment centers. Reused wastewater can now meet 40 percent of Singapore’s water demand. Most of the water is used for microchip manufacturing centers and cooling systems in buildings. But some of it is added to the country’s drinking water supplies. The system helps reduce ocean pollution, as only a small amount of the treated water is sent into the sea. Singapore, as an island nation, has long had to depend mostly on supplies from neighboring Malaysia. Low Pei Chin, chief engineer of the water reclamation department of the Public Utilities Board, told reporters with Independent, “Singapore lacks natural resources, and it is limited in space, which is why we are always looking for ways to explore water sources and stretch our water supply.” The Changi Water Reclamation Plant on Singapore’s eastern coast is the main part of the country’s recycling system. Parts of the water treatment center are underground. Wastewater enters the center through a 48-kilometer tunnel that is linked to sewers (下水道). The center contains a large system of steel pipes, tubes, tanks, cleaning systems and other machinery. It can treat up to 900 million liters of wastewater a day.

In my class, there were students who could raise a hand without trembling, who could read aloud as if their voices were made for attention. I was not one of them. When our English teacher announced a storytelling contest, my stomach tightened. “Everyone will try,” she said, smiling as if it were a gift. My classmates began discussing topics immediately. I kept my eyes on my notebook, pretending to be busy. That afternoon, while I was cleaning the blackboard, I found a crumpled card under the teacher’s desk. It was a judging card from last year, with a sentence written on the back: “Speak to one person, not to a crowd.” I didn’t know who wrote it, but the words felt like a quiet hand on my shoulder. At home, I practiced in front of the mirror. The mirror offered no applause, only my own nervous face. On the day of the contest, the auditorium lights looked brighter than usual. My hands were cold, and my mouth felt dry. When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage and saw rows of blurred faces. For a moment, I wanted to run. Then I remembered the card in my pocket. 续写要求： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I took a deep breath and searched for just one face in the audience. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the contest, I unfolded the card once more and understood it differently. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
