“What’s your zodiac sign (星座)?”
“It’s Virgo.”
“Then you must be an organized person.”
This kind of conversation is common among young people. They believe zodiac signs can show people’s personality. This idea actually comes from astrology (占星术). It’s an ancient belief system, saying the positions of stars and planets at your birth can shape your personality. Like the Chinese zodiac, astrology groups people into twelve zodiac signs. However, the Chinese zodiac is based on birth years, while astrology is based on birth dates. But is it real science? The answer is NO.
There are two main reasons for this myth (迷思). First, there is no physical connection between planets and our lives — planets are too far away to influence us. Second, the Barnum effect (巴纳姆效应) explains why people still believe in it: astrology uses unclear and positive words. They fit almost everyone. People usually remember the true words and forget the ones not fitting them, creating a false feeling of truth.
To prove this, physicist Shawn Carlson did a famous study. He asked 30 top experts in astrology to match people’s birth dates with their real personalities. However, the results showed these experts got only about 30 percent of them correct. This was no better than guessing. This study clearly showed that astrology cannot predict or describe true personality.
In short, astrology can be harmless fun and a good conversation starter. But it is not science. Never let a zodiac sign decide who you are. Your personality comes from what you are born with, your experiences, and the environment — not the stars.
31. What does astrology use to group people?
A. Birth years. B. Birth dates. C. Personalities.
32. According to the Barnum effect, why do people believe in astrology?
A. Because it gives exact and clear answers.
B. Because planets can influence people’s lives.
C. Because they focus on the words fitting them.
33. Why does the writer mention Shawn Carlson’s study?
A. To introduce how to do a scientific study.
B. To prove astrology is not based on science.
C. To show the experts get only a few things right.
34. According to the passage, what can influence personality?
① zodiac signs ② experiences ③ environment ④ stars
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④
35. In which part of the magazine can we read this passage?
A. B. C.

三、阅读表达(共10小题;计20分)
A. 完成图表 (共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。每空不超过三个词。
When you first see the cover of the English textbook, you may notice a high mountain. Have you ever wondered which mountain it is? This snow-covered mountain against the blue sky is Mount Kilimanjaro.
Mount Kilimanjaro stands in Tanzania, East Africa. As “the Roof of Africa”, it rises about 5,895 meters above sea level. This also explains why, although it lies close to the equator (赤道), its top is covered with snow. Clouds float around the mountain, making Mount Kilimanjaro look quiet and magical.
What makes the mountain more special is that it’s actually a big volcano (火山)! Many years ago, hot lava and ash came out from the earth. When they cooled, they formed hard layers. Over a very long time, these layers built up and made the huge volcanic mountain we see today. Mount Kilimanjaro has three volcanic cones (火山锥). Two of them are dead, while Kibo, the highest volcanic cone, is “sleeping” now and can wake up some day.
This mysterious volcanic mountain has a powerful call for adventurers. Thousands of climbers from all over the world visit Mount Kilimanjaro every year to challenge themselves and enjoy its amazing views. For these climbers, the journey is really hard because of the thin air and freezing weather. Still, they try to reach the top. It is a deep exploration of nature and a great test of physical strength.
It’s a pity that the beauty of this place may not last forever. The weather around the world is getting warmer every single year. Over 80 percent of the snow has gone since 1912 and scientists predict we may see no ice by 2050.
Now, when you look at the cover of your book again, you will see not only a volcanic mountain, but also a symbol of human spirit and a reminder of environmental protection.

B. 任务型阅读 (共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
Countries across the world are spending plenty of dollars and lots of time on different space tasks, whether to the moon or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the world’s poor and find ways to solve other problems, such as pollution and serious diseases. However, others hold a different view.
Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. A large number of satellites (卫星) record the information of land and weather. Then they send it to scientists on Earth. After careful study, the scientists can provide useful advice for farmers. As a result, it has helped farmers in their efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth’s increasing population.
Secondly, space exploration has already encouraged improvements in technologies that benefit us all. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new materials. They have also helped factories make better machines that doctors regularly use. Today, people widely use space technologies in all kinds of industries, and everyday products, such as smartphone cameras (照相机), are changing our lives.
Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world’s problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realize that we are running low on natural resources (资源). In order to provide for such a quickly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home.
In short, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better ways to solve people’s short-term and long-term problems.
56. Why are some people against space exploration?
___________________________________________________________
57. What have satellites done for food production?
___________________________________________________________
58. How does space exploration benefit us today in paragraph 3?
___________________________________________________________

【答案】1. C 2. D

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了经典军事战例四渡赤水,讲述遵义会议后,红军在毛泽东的指挥下,于川黔滇交界地区巧用战术四次渡过赤水,以少胜多成功摆脱敌军包围,彰显了红军英勇无畏的精神、超凡的智慧与坚定的意志。
【1题详解】
句意:它从1935年1月19日持续到3月22日,在贵州、四川和云南省的交界地区。根据空前的“in the”和空后的“of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces”可知,此处指在三省的相邻地区,选项C“neighboring areas(邻近地区)”符合语境。
【2题详解】
句意:遵义会议后,毛泽东开始在领导大约3万名红军战士中发挥关键作用。根据空后的“leading about 30,000 Red Army soldiers”可知,毛泽东在领导红军方面起到了关键作用,选项D“play a key role in(在……中起关键作用)”符合语境。
【3题详解】
句意:他们勇敢地面对巨大的困难,尽管敌人的兵力是他们的十倍以上。前半句提到红军勇敢面对困难,后半句提到敌我力量悬殊,前后句意构成让步转折关系,选项A“even though(即使,虽然)”引导让步状语从句,符合语境。
【4题详解】
句意:红军以巧妙的方式四次渡过赤水河,最终摆脱了危险的境地。根据文章首句提到的“smart fighting”以及空后的“finally got out of the dangerous situation”可知,红军渡河的战术非常巧妙,选项B“in smart ways(以聪明/巧妙的方式)”符合语境。
【5题详解】
句意:通过这些巧妙的行动,红军成功地摆脱了敌人。根据空后的动名词短语“breaking free from the enemy”可知,此处考查固定搭配succeed in doing sth.(成功做某事),选项E“succeeded in(成功)”符合语境。

“What’s your zodiac sign (星座)?”
“It’s Virgo.”
“Then you must be an organized person.”
This kind of conversation is common among young people. They believe zodiac signs can show people’s personality. This idea actually comes from astrology (占星术). It’s an ancient belief system, saying the positions of stars and planets at your birth can shape your personality. Like the Chinese zodiac, astrology groups people into twelve zodiac signs. However, the Chinese zodiac is based on birth years, while astrology is based on birth dates. But is it real science? The answer is NO.
There are two main reasons for this myth (迷思). First, there is no physical connection between planets and our lives — planets are too far away to influence us. Second, the Barnum effect (巴纳姆效应) explains why people still believe in it: astrology uses unclear and positive words. They fit almost everyone. People usually remember the true words and forget the ones not fitting them, creating a false feeling of truth.
To prove this, physicist Shawn Carlson did a famous study. He asked 30 top experts in astrology to match people’s birth dates with their real personalities. However, the results showed these experts got only about 30 percent of them correct. This was no better than guessing. This study clearly showed that astrology cannot predict or describe true personality.
In short, astrology can be harmless fun and a good conversation starter. But it is not science. Never let a zodiac sign decide who you are. Your personality comes from what you are born with, your experiences, and the environment — not the stars.
31. What does astrology use to group people?
A. Birth years. B. Birth dates. C. Personalities.
32. According to the Barnum effect, why do people believe in astrology?
A. Because it gives exact and clear answers.
B. Because planets can influence people’s lives.
C. Because they focus on the words fitting them.
33. Why does the writer mention Shawn Carlson’s study?
A. To introduce how to do a scientific study.
B. To prove astrology is not based on science.
C. To show the experts get only a few things right.
34. According to the passage, what can influence personality?
① zodiac signs ② experiences ③ environment ④ stars
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④
35. In which part of the magazine can we read this passage?
A. B. C.
【答案】31. B 32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了“星座决定性格”的说法,然后指出这一说法的来源(占星术)和分类方式(基于出生日期),但明确给出结论“不是科学”。。
【31题详解】
文章第一段明确指出“astrology is based on birth dates”,而中国生肖基于出生年份。因此占星术是根据出生日期来划分星座的。故选B。
【32题详解】
第二段关于巴纳姆效应的解释是:占星术使用模糊而积极的描述,这些描述几乎适合所有人。人们通常只记住那些符合自己的描述,而忘记不符合的部分,从而产生“说得真准”的错觉。因此C项正确。
【33题详解】
第三段开头说“To prove this, physicist Shawn Carlson did a famous study”,这里的“this”指代前文关于占星术不可靠的论述。实验结果仅约30%正确,不比猜测好,这直接证明了占星术无法预测或描述真实性格,即“不是科学”。故选B。
【34题详解】
文章最后一句明确给出“Your personality comes from what you are born with, your experiences, and the environment — not the stars.” 即性格由“天生特质、经历和环境”决定,与星座或星星无关。因此②experiences和③environment正确,故选B。
【35题详解】
本文讨论了星座与性格有关的结论的不科学性,故在神秘与真相杂志上更可能读到这篇文章。

【43题详解】
句意:布鲁内莱斯基还必须找到一种方法把材料提升到高空。分析句子结构可知,此处考查“a way to do sth.”(做某事的方法),应用动词不定式作后置定语,lift符合语境。故填to lift。
【44题详解】
句意:即使是现在,专家们仍然不能完全理解他是如何在没有现代工具的情况下完成如此奇妙的作品的。分析句子结构可知,此处需用副词修饰动词understand,“完全地”符合语境。故填fully。
【45题详解】
句意:它仍然让人们感到惊讶,并作为人类创造的伟大象征而矗立着。此处需填入名词,表示“人类的创造”,故填creation。

三、阅读表达(共10小题;计20分)
A. 完成图表 (共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。每空不超过三个词。
When you first see the cover of the English textbook, you may notice a high mountain. Have you ever wondered which mountain it is? This snow-covered mountain against the blue sky is Mount Kilimanjaro.
Mount Kilimanjaro stands in Tanzania, East Africa. As “the Roof of Africa”, it rises about 5,895 meters above sea level. This also explains why, although it lies close to the equator (赤道), its top is covered with snow. Clouds float around the mountain, making Mount Kilimanjaro look quiet and magical.
What makes the mountain more special is that it’s actually a big volcano (火山)! Many years ago, hot lava and ash came out from the earth. When they cooled, they formed hard layers. Over a very long time, these layers built up and made the huge volcanic mountain we see today. Mount Kilimanjaro has three volcanic cones (火山锥). Two of them are dead, while Kibo, the highest volcanic cone, is “sleeping” now and can wake up some day.
This mysterious volcanic mountain has a powerful call for adventurers. Thousands of climbers from all over the world visit Mount Kilimanjaro every year to challenge themselves and enjoy its amazing views. For these climbers, the journey is really hard because of the thin air and freezing weather. Still, they try to reach the top. It is a deep exploration of nature and a great test of physical strength.
It’s a pity that the beauty of this place may not last forever. The weather around the world is getting warmer every single year. Over 80 percent of the snow has gone since 1912 and scientists predict we may see no ice by 2050.
Now, when you look at the cover of your book again, you will see not only a volcanic mountain, but also a symbol of human spirit and a reminder of environmental protection.
51. ________
52. ________
53. ________
54. ________

【答案】51.
More Than 52.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了乞力马扎罗山的地理位置、形成原因、吸引攀登者的原因以及其面临的环境问题。
【51题详解】
根据文章最后一段“Now, when you look at the cover of your book again, you will see not only a volcanic mountain, but also a symbol of human spirit and a reminder of environmental protection.(现在,当你再次看着书的封面时,你看到的将不仅仅是一座火山,而是人类精神的象征和环境保护的提醒。)”可推知,乞力马扎罗山不仅仅是一座山。故填More Than。
【52题详解】
根据文章第二段“As ‘the Roof of Africa’, it rises about 5,895 meters above sea level. This also explains why, although it lies close to the equator, its top is covered with snow.(作为‘非洲屋脊’,它海拔约5895米。这也解释了为什么尽管它靠近赤道,山顶却覆盖着雪。)”可推知,山顶被雪覆盖是因为它的高度。故填height。
【53题详解】
根据文章第三段“Two of them are dead, while Kibo, the highest volcanic cone, is ‘sleeping’ now and can wake up some day.(其中两座是死火山,而最高的火山锥基博目前正在‘沉睡’,并且有朝一日可能会苏醒。)”可推知,基博火山锥有朝一日可能会苏醒,变成一座活火山。故填active。
【54题详解】
根据文章第四段“This mysterious volcanic mountain has a powerful call for adventurers. Thousands of climbers from all over the world visit Mount Kilimanjaro every year to challenge themselves and enjoy its amazing views.(这座神秘的火山对探险者有着强烈的吸引力。每年有成千上万来自世界各地的攀登者来到乞力马扎罗山挑战自我,欣赏其迷人的景色。)”可推知,它以神秘的美景吸引着攀登者。主语It为第三人称单数,动词需用单三形式。故填attracts。
【55题详解】
根据文章第五段“Over 80 percent of the snow has gone since 1912 and scientists predict we may see no ice by 2050.(自1912年以来,超过80%的积雪已经消失,科学家预测到2050年我们可能看不到冰了。)”以及图表中的“The snow scene will disappear in the future.(雪景在未来将会消失。)”可推知,此处概括的是山上的积雪情况。故填snow。
B. 任务型阅读 (共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
Countries across the world are spending plenty of dollars and lots of time on different space tasks, whether to the moon or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the world’s poor and find ways to solve other problems, such as pollution and serious diseases. However, others hold a different view.
Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. A large number of satellites (卫星) record the information of land and weather. Then they send it to scientists on Earth. After careful study, the scientists can provide useful advice for farmers. As a result, it has helped farmers in their efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth’s increasing population.
Secondly, space exploration has already encouraged improvements in technologies that benefit us all. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new materials. They have also helped factories make better machines that doctors regularly use. Today, people widely use space technologies in all kinds of industries, and everyday products, such as smartphone cameras (照相机), are changing our lives.
Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world’s problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realize that we are running low on natural resources (资源). In order to provide for such a quickly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home.
In short, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better ways to solve people’s short-term and long-term problems.

例文
From a Child to a Teenager
As 14-year-old students, we have said goodbye to childhood and stepped into our teenage years.
Different from children who depend on parents, teenagers are more independent and responsible. We solve problems on our own and take charge of our lives.
I have three growth plans. First, I will manage my study time well and finish tasks on time. Second, I will practice emotion management and calm down wisely in bad moods. Third, I will share housework to reduce my parents’ burden.
Growing up means progress. I will keep working hard to become a better teenager.
