Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification ()"Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off,and in 10 years from now they will be poor.I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks."A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia's agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change.She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable()crops,using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (rather than chemicals. In 2012,Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert.She moved to Tunisia,and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action.'I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are.Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water." By September 2016,more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms,with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate.Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia's farmland.She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028.In the next couple of years,Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 4.How did Toumi's holiday trips to Tunisia affect her? A.They fired her passion for helping others. B.They helped her better understand her father. C.They made her decide to leave the country. D.They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. 5.What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia's farmland? A.Cold weather.B.Soil pollution. C.Low rainfall. D.Forest damage. 6.Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia? A.To create job opportunities for young people. B.To promote the protection of their farmland. C.To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D.To help the children obtain a basic education. 7.Which of the following can best describe Sarah? A.Strict and intelligent. B.Responsible and determined. C.Ambitious but self-doubting. D.Modest but inexperienced. C Musical training is gaining worldwide recognition for its striking impact on human cognition which has long been paid less attention to in traditional education.A growing body of scientific 第2页共8页 evidence shows that learning to play a musical instrument greatly promotes brain development and strengthens the processing skills of languages,especially when people try to understand speech in noisy environments. To explore how music influences the brain,researchers at Northwestern University carried out a controlled experiment,in which they compared two groups of young adults.One group had received continuous musical training for at least four years,while the other had no experience of playing any musical instrument.Participants (were asked to recognize spoken statements mixed with background noise,and the results showed a clear advantage:those with musical training performed much better in picking out useful sounds from unwanted noise. Professor Kraus,who was in charge of the study,stressed that continuous musical practice sharply improves auditory processing.The ability to identify pitch,rhythm (and tone in music directly strengthens the brain's ability to understand spoken language,benefiting daily communication and classroom learning. The findings also proved that people with musical training usually have better memories and higher grades in language subjects.Regular instrumental practice helps improve attention and connections,placing a solid cognitive basis for better academic performance. Based on the above findings,Professor Kraus and some experts suggest that music could receive greater attention in school curricula.Instead of being regarded as an extra subject for relaxation,music should be treated as a key part of basic education that supports all-round intellectual development. Music is not just a form of entertainment,but a powerful type of cognitive training that can effectively improve students'learning abilities in different fields. 8.What is the function of musical training according to Paragraph 1? A.To offer people more ways to relax. B.To reduce background noise in daily life C.To take the place of traditional education.D.To improve language processing ability. 9.What were the participants asked to do in the experiment? A.Tell loud noises apart. B.Play musical instruments. C.Recognize speech in noisy situations. D.Receive four years of musical training 10.What is the author's attitude to the present school music education? A.Supportive. B.Confident. C.Indifferent. D.Dissatisfied. 11.What is the best title for the text? A.School Music Education Needs Greater Attention B.Musical Training Improves Language Cognitive Skills C.Music Study Helps Noise-Based Language Recognition. D.Auditory Processing Promotes Language Understanding. D Primary and secondary school learners,university students,and guests were invited on Wednesday and were treated to a colorful celebration at the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi,to mark the beginning of the year of the dragon which officially starts on Saturday.The place 第3页共8页 featured beautiful decorations with red and gold colors and lucky symbols.

My last piece of advice is to read something that interests you.Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you will enjoy.Think about the type that is in your own language and find that type in English.20 A.For example,Dr Seuss's books are sure to make you laugh B.All in all,the key to success is choosing the right book for you. C.It means reading books can bring you knowledge as well as fun. D.How much you can understand a book depends on your vocabulary.

(她预计到2028年种植100万棵树。未来几年，Toumi希望将项目扩展到阿尔及利亚和摩洛哥。)”及全文内容可知，全文讲述Sarah立志对抗沙漠化、践行可持续农业、坚持种树并推广项目，体现出她有责任心且意志坚定。 【C篇解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了音乐训练对人类认知，尤其是语言处理能力有显著积极影响，建议学校应更重视音乐教育。DCDB 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A growing body of scientific evidence shows that learning to play a musical instrument greatly promotes brain development and strengthens the processing skills of languages, especially when people try to understand speech in noisy environments. (越来越多的科学证据表明，学习演奏乐器能极大地促进大脑发育，并增强语言处理能力，尤其是当人们在嘈杂环境中试图理解言语时)”可知，D音乐训练的功能是提高语言处理能力。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Participants (参加者) were asked to recognize spoken statements mixed with background noise, and the results showed a clear advantage: those with musical training performed much better in picking out useful sounds from unwanted noise. (参与者被要求识别混合了背景噪音的口语陈述，结果显示出明显的优势：受过音乐训练的人在从不需要的噪音中挑选出有用的声音方面表现得更好)”可知，C参与者被要求在嘈杂的情况下识别语言。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Based on the above findings, Professor Kraus and some experts suggest that music could receive greater attention in school curricula. Instead of being regarded as an extra subject for relaxation, music should be treated as a key part of basic education that supports all-round intellectual development. (基于上述发现，克劳斯教授和一些专家建议，音乐在学校课程中应该得到更多关注。音乐不应被视为放松的额外科目，而应被视为支持全面智力发展的基础教育的重要组成部分)”可知，D作者对目前的学校音乐教育不满意，认为它没有得到足够重视。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇指出音乐训练对人类认知有显著影响，且在传统教育中长期未得到足够重视，接着通过西北大学的研究实验，详细阐述了音乐训练能促进大脑发育、增强语言处理能力，比如有音乐训练的人在嘈杂环境中识别有用声音的能力更强，还能提高记忆力、在语言学科取得更好成绩等，所以“音乐训练提高语言认知技能”准确概括了文章，B重点阐述其对语言认知技能提升这一核心内容，适合作为文章标题。 【D篇解析】 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了内罗毕大学孔子学院举办的庆祝中国龙年的多彩活动，吸引了中小学生、大学生和来宾参加。活动包括文化体验、品尝中国美食、欣赏表演等，旨在加强中肯文化交流，促进孔子学院的发展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题，根据第二段中“Visitors got an opportunity to participate in cultural experiences including painting, papercutting and pot throwing as well as experiencing Chinese cuisines like spicy hotpot, steamed stuffed buns (包子) , Chinese hamburgers, dumplings and barbecue among others.

(她也鉴赏了装饰、绘画、图片和表演。)”可知，Leah Muthoni在欣赏中国装饰、绘画、图片和表演的同时也称赞了活动上的中国菜，尤其是面条和饺子。此处appreciate与划线词构成并列，故划线词与必选项“Praised.(赞扬)”为同义词。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Kiama said the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi has achieved a lot since its establishment in 2005, including winning the Confucius Institute of the Year Award seven times and pioneering the establishment of the Bachelor of Arts in the Chinese language in Kenya.

B As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia affect her? A. They fired her passion for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father. C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. 5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland? A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage. 6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia? A. To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland. C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education. 7. Which of the following can best describe Sarah? A. Strict and intelligent. B. Responsible and determined. C. Ambitious but self-doubting. D. Modest but inexperienced. C Musical training is gaining worldwide recognition for its striking impact on human cognition (认知), which has long been paid less attention to in traditional education. A growing body of scientific evidence shows that learning to play a musical instrument greatly promotes brain development and strengthens the processing skills of languages, especially when people try to understand speech in noisy environments. To explore how music influences the brain, researchers at Northwestern University carried out a controlled experiment, in which they compared two groups of young adults. One group had received continuous musical training for at least four years, while the other had no experience of playing any musical instrument. Participants (参加者) were asked to recognize spoken statements mixed with background noise, and the results showed a clear advantage: those with musical training performed much better in picking out useful sounds from unwanted noise. Professor Kraus, who was in charge of the study, stressed that continuous musical practice sharply improves auditory processing. The ability to identify pitch, rhythm (节奏) and tone in music directly strengthens the brain’s ability to understand spoken language, benefiting daily communication and classroom learning. The findings also proved that people with musical training usually have better memories and higher grades in language subjects. Regular instrumental practice helps improve attention and connections, placing a solid cognitive basis for better academic performance. Based on the above findings, Professor Kraus and some experts suggest that music could receive greater attention in school curricula. Instead of being regarded as an extra subject for relaxation, music should be treated as a key part of basic education that supports all-round intellectual development. Music is not just a form of entertainment, but a powerful type of cognitive training that can effectively improve students’ learning abilities in different fields. 8. What is the function of musical training according to Paragraph 1? A. To offer people more ways to relax. B. To reduce background noise in daily life. C. To take the place of traditional education. D. To improve language processing ability. 9. What were the participants asked to do in the experiment? A. Tell loud noises apart. B. Play musical instruments. C. Recognize speech in noisy situations. D. Receive four years of musical training. 10. What is the author’s attitude to the present school music education? A. Supportive. B. Confident. C. Indifferent. D. Dissatisfied. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. School Music Education Needs Greater Attention. B. Musical Training Improves Language Cognitive Skills. C. Music Study Helps Noise-Based Language Recognition. D. Auditory Processing Promotes Language Understanding. D Primary and secondary school learners, university students, and guests were invited on Wednesday and were treated to a colorful celebration at the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi, to mark the beginning of the year of the dragon which officially starts on Saturday.

Kiama hopes that this year the Confucius Institute will gain more force with the blessing of power, courage and vitality from the year of the Chinese dragon. He said the Confucius Institute offers a good platform for cultural exchange between China and Kenya through events like the Chinese Lunar Year celebrations. Kiama hoped that the relationship between China and Kenya would further be strengthened by the blessings of the year of the dragon. In Chinese methodology (方法论) , the dragon has the power to control seasons, time and harvests, and it’s seen as a symbol of wealth.
