B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述张雪从贫困少年成长为摩托车品牌创始人的励志故事。他历经艰辛，坚持自主研发，最终在世界顶级比赛中夺冠，证明了坚持梦想就能创造奇迹。 【16题详解】 句意：这辆摩托车来自38岁的张雪创立的品牌。 根据“by 38-year-old Zhang Xue”可知，该品牌是由张雪创立的，set up“建立，创立”符合句意。given up“放弃”、put up“举起，搭建”逻辑不符。 【17题详解】 句意：他的成功之路绝非易事。 根据下文描述他童年捡垃圾、辍学当学徒等种种艰辛经历可知，他的成功之路绝不轻松，never easy表示“绝非易事”。hard“困难的”与句意冲突，dangerous“危险的”不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：14岁时，他辍学成为一家摩托车修理店的学徒。 根据“left school”和“in a motorcycle repair shop”可知，14岁辍学去修理店应该是当学徒学习技术，应用learner。coach“教练”、doctor“医生”与修理店不匹配。 【19题详解】 句意：出于对摩托车的深爱，他甚至能闭着眼睛组装发动机。 根据“put an engine together”和常识可知，此处表达他技术极其熟练，甚至可以“闭着眼睛”完成，with one’s eyes closed为常见表达。hands“手”、mouth“嘴”逻辑不通。 【20题详解】 句意：19岁时，他冒雨骑行一百多公里追赶电视节目组，只为获得车队接受的机会。 根据“catch up with a TV program team”可知，他努力展示自己是为了被车队看中并“接受”，应用accepted。hidden“隐藏”、proved“证明”均与加入车队逻辑不符。 【21题详解】 句意：他甚至离开了他的第一家公司，因为他拒绝放弃自主研发中国发动机。 前后句之间是因果关系，后半句是他离开公司的原因，应用because引导原因状语从句。but“但是”、so“所以”均不符合因果逻辑。 【22题详解】 句意：2024年，他创立了以自己名字命名的品牌。 此处为固定搭配name after，意为“以……命名”，符合句意。of“……的”、with“和……一起”与name搭配不当。 【23题详解】 句意：他坚持独立研发所有核心部件。 根据上文“self-developed Chinese engines”可知，他一直坚持自主“研发”核心部件，应用developing。buying“购买”、selling“出售”均与“自主研发”的精神相悖。 【24题详解】 句意：实际上，这次成功不仅是张雪个人的胜利，也是中国工业的一大步。 此处用于揭示事件的深层意义，Actually“实际上”用于深化观点、升华主旨。Finally“最终”、Suddenly“突然”均不符合语境。 【25题详解】 句意：他的旅程告诉我们，如果我们为梦想不断奋斗，没有什么是不可能的。 根据“if we keep fighting for our dreams”可知，只要奋斗就能创造奇迹，Nothing is impossible是常见的励志表达，意为“没有什么是不可能的”。everything“一切”、anything“任何事”不符合句意。 IV．阅读理解 (共两节，25小题；满分45分) 第一节 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从写中所给的A、B、C、D四个选出最佳答案。 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) A Do you want to know more about western table manners?

The knife and the fork point towards each other.”表明暂停用餐时，需要将刀叉摆成V形，刀和叉尖相对，对应C图样式。 【29题详解】 “CLEARING THE PLATES”部分“The hostess clears the plates, often with the help of a guest or two.”表明女主人收拾餐盘，通常会有一两位客人帮忙。如果你参加了非正式用餐，那么你应该帮助女主人清理餐盘和餐桌。 【30题详解】 全文围绕西方餐桌礼仪展开，属于饮食文化内容，对应报纸的文化版块。 B Mary began to like her life here. Every morning, she went outside after breakfast and spent most of the day in the grounds. The cold wind brought pink to her face. And she finished all of her food each evening. She was much healthier. After dinner, she liked sitting near the fire and talking to Martha. “Why does Mr. Craven hate the locked garden?” Mary asked once. “It was Mrs. Craven’s garden and she loved it. She looked after the flowers together with Mr. Craven. No gardeners were allowed in.” “But what happened?” Mary asked. “There was an old tree in the garden with a branch like a seat. Mrs. Craven often sat there, reading and talking. One day, the branch broke and she fell down. She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.” Mary seldom felt sorry for anyone, but now she understood how sad her uncle must be. The wind roared (咆哮) around the house, and the doors and windows banged. Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying. “Can you hear someone crying?” she asked Martha. Martha seemed pretty worried. “No,” she answered. “It’s only the wind or the servant who works in the kitchen. She’s got a toothache. Perhaps she’s crying. I’m going to check if she needs any help.” After the words, Martha left the room quickly. When Martha left her alone, Mary decided to explore the house. She went quietly along corridors (走廊) and up and down stairs. In the silence of the house she heard it again. She stopped to listen at a door, but then another door opened and Mrs. Medlock came out. “What are you doing here?” she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. “Get back to your room at once.” -Adapted from The Secret Garden 31. From Paragraph 1, we know Mary________ A. seldom went outside B. didn’t like Martha C. felt bored with the life D. became much healthier 32. Mr. Craven ________after his wife died. A. locked himself in the garden B. never talked about the garden C. cut down the tree in the garden D. didn’t talk to anyone at all 33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A. The roar of the strong wind. B. Mrs. Medlock’s voice. C. The sound of a child crying. D. The noise from the doors. 34. How did Martha react (作出反应) when Mary asked about the crying sound？ A. She calmly explained it was the wind. B. She became very nervous and left quickly. C. She laughed and said it was her imagination. D. She took Mary to find the source of the sound. 35. What can you infer (推断) from the passage？ A. Martha didn’t tell the truth. B. Mr. Craven would leave home. C. Mary knew her uncle well. D. Mrs. Medlock was very kind. 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《秘密花园》，讲述玛丽适应庄园生活后，从玛莎口中得知克雷文先生锁起花园的缘由，夜里她听见孩童哭声，玛莎刻意掩饰并匆忙离开，玛丽独自探寻哭声时被梅德洛克夫人制止。 【31题详解】 根据第一段原文“She was much healthier.”可知，玛丽在这里生活后变得更健康了。 【32题详解】 根据第五段原文“Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.”可知，妻子去世后他不再谈论花园。 【33题详解】 划线词“it”出自第六段句子“Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying.”，下文中玛丽向玛莎询问哭声，因此it指代小孩哭泣的声音。 【34题详解】 根据第八段原文“Martha seemed pretty worried…After the words, Martha left the room quickly.”可知，玛莎反应紧张并迅速离开。 【35题详解】 玛莎在被问到哭声时显得“worried”（担心），解释说是风或牙痛的仆人，随后“left the room quickly”，且后文玛丽又听到了声音，这些迹象都表明玛莎在掩饰真相，没有说实话。 C At Wuying Village in Shangqiu, Henan, many elderly villagers gathered in front of a “Tian’anmen Square” to take a photo. Though they needed sticks and even wheelchairs to move, the joy on their faces was very clear. Why has a “Tian’anmen Square” appeared in a village? The story begins with a 40-year-old man named Wu Chengyan. Wu is a farmer and painter in Wuying Village. During a chat with an elderly villager, Wu learned that his greatest wish was to see Tian’anmen Square. Many old people in the village share the same dream. However, they have seldom travelled far in their lives. To fulfill their wish, Wu spent five days painting an 18-metre-long mural (壁画) of Tian’anmen Square and invited the elderly villagers for a group photo. Today, about 120 million people aged 60 and above live in rural China. Their younger family members move away to cities for work, making “empty-nest” households (空巢家庭) a common reality in the countryside. Across much of China, more and more villages have built special care centres for the elderly. These centres are close to old people’s homes. So they can stay in familiar places while enjoying good meals, care, and friendship. Many centres also work with village clinics (诊所) and hospitals to offer better health care services. Like painter Wu Chengyan, many young people across China are caring for the elderly in their own ways. Since the elderly had few chances to be photographed when they were young, many young volunteers take photos of them or △ with cameras. Through short videos, the elderly people share everyday stories of village life, learn how to avoid scams (诈骗) , or try selling things through live streaming (直播) . In these new roles, their later life has been lit up with fresh purpose and new possibilities. 36. Why did Wu Chengyan paint the “Tian’anmen Square” mural? A. To practise his painting skills. B. To attract visitors to the village. C. To honour the village’s historical past. D. To realize the elderly villagers’ dream. 37. Which of the following pictures shows a “rural” scene? A. B. C. D. 38. What is the advantage of the special care centres in villages? A. They provide jobs for young villagers. B. They give the elderly a sense of purpose. C. They let the elderly stay locally while getting care. D. They offer the old villagers free medical treatment. 39. Which of the following can be put in △? A. record their daily lives B. take care of them C. talk with them online D. buy goods for them 40. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The benefits of short videos for the elderly. B. The care given by the youth to the elderly. C. The volunteer programmes in China’s villages. D. The main hobbies of elderly villagers in China. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. C 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述河南商丘吴营村画家吴承言为村里老人绘制天安门广场巨幅壁画，帮老人实现心愿；同时介绍我国乡村空巢老人现状、村级养老照料中心配套服务，以及各地青年用拍照、短视频等多种方式关爱乡村老人的暖心故事。 【36题详解】 第二段提到“To fulfill their wish, Wu spent five days painting an 18-metre-long mural of Tian’anmen Square”，说明吴承言绘制壁画是为了实现村里老年村民的心愿。 【37题详解】 “rural”意为“乡村的、农村的”，A图画包含农田农房，是乡村场景。 【38题详解】 第四段“So they can stay in familiar places while enjoying good meals, care and friendship”，说明照料中心优势是老人可留在本地同时获得照料。 【39题详解】 最后一段“Through short videos, the elderly people share everyday stories of village life”，说明相机用来记录日常。 【40题详解】 最后一段“Like painter Wu Chengyan, many young people across China are caring for the elderly in their own ways”，可知，本段围绕青年以多种方式关爱老人展开，主旨为青年给予老年人的关怀。 D Invasive species (入侵物种) are plants and animals which arrive in an area where they are not native, usually because of human activity. They are often able to grow quickly in their new homes because they have no natural enemies. As a result, they may replace or damage native plants and animals living in the same environment. Red squirrels used to be a common sight in Britain. Then, in the 1870s, grey squirrels were introduced from North America because rich people thought they looked fashionable in their large gardens. At first sight, the two species of squirrels are similar. They both have a long tail, large eyes and small ears. However, the red squirrel has a length of around 19 to 23 cm and a body weight of 250 to 340 grams. Grey squirrels are larger. Their length measures between 23 and 30 cm and their body weighs between 400 and 600 grams. That allows them to store more fat and helps them to survive hard winters, making it possible for them to win the battle (战役) between the two species finally. More differences explain why red squirrels lost in the competition with grey squirrels. First, red squirrels live high up in the trees, while grey squirrels spend more time on the ground. They fully depend on tall trees to find food and build nests. Any loss of forest habitat greatly affects red squirrels. Another reason is that grey squirrels can adapt (适应) to a new environment more easily. For example, they are able to eat food offered by humans. What’s worse, grey squirrels carry parapoxvirus (副痘病毒), which is deadly to the reds. It seems that scientists can’t do much to help red squirrels survive in Britain. Some politicians support destroying populations of grey squirrels, but many British people say that is cruel (残忍的). Red squirrels have been successfully reintroduced from other countries. They are now protected in places where there are no grey squirrels. 41. What is the problem caused by invasive species? A. They eat all local food. B. They replace native wildlife. C. They grow too slowly. D. They bring more natural enemies. 42. Why did grey squirrels first arrive in Britain? A. They escaped from ships. B. They needed warmer weather. C. They were fashionable garden pets. D. They followed red squirrels here. 43. What harms red squirrels most? A. Living in the forest. B. Eating human food. C. Having smaller eyes. D. Getting a deadly virus. 44. How do red squirrels survive in Britain? A. Scientists feed red squirrels. B. Politicians kill all grey squirrels. C. Red squirrels beat grey squirrels. D. Red squirrels live in grey-free areas. 45. What’s the best title of the text? A. Protecting Squirrels’ habitat B. Saving Animals in Danger C. Losing the Battle for Survival D. Destroying Invasive Species 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以英国灰松鼠作为入侵物种为例，介绍入侵物种的定义、危害，对比红松鼠与灰松鼠的生存差距，分析红松鼠竞争落败的多重原因，同时讲述当下保护红松鼠的相关措施。 【41题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“As a result, they may replace or damage native plants and animals living in the same environment.”可知，入侵物种会取代、伤害本土动植物。 【42题详解】 根据第二段“Then, in the 1870s, grey squirrels were introduced from North America because rich people thought they looked fashionable in their large gardens.”可知，灰松鼠最初被引入英国是因为富人觉得它们适合当作花园观赏宠物。 【43题详解】 根据第三段最后一句“What’s worse, grey squirrels carry parapoxvirus (副痘病毒), which is deadly to the reds.”可知，灰松鼠携带的致命病毒对红松鼠伤害最大。 【44题详解】 根据最后一段“Red squirrels have been successfully reintroduced from other countries. They are now protected in places where there are no grey squirrels.”可知，红松鼠在没有灰松鼠的区域得到保护、得以存活。 【45题详解】 全文围绕入侵灰松鼠和本土红松鼠的生存竞争展开，红松鼠在这场生存竞争中落败，只能退到无灰松鼠的区域受保护，Losing the Battle for Survival“输掉生存之战”符合核心内容，适合作标题。A“保护松鼠栖息地”只是文中一个细节；B“拯救濒危动物”范围太宽泛；D“摧毁入侵物种”不是本文的核心内容，因此选C。 第二节 阅读下面短文，根据短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最住选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整．（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） E Natural disasters may happen at any time.

Know what disasters may happen in your area. 【答案】46. A 47. E 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了为应对自然灾害所做的准备工作，包括了解潜在灾害、制定应急计划、准备救生包和演练计划。 【46题详解】 上文提到应该提前做好准备，下文开始分条给出具体建议。A项“Here is some useful advice.”总述下文将给出建议，与上文“做准备”和下文具体内容形成衔接。 【47题详解】 下文提到了解当地可能发生的灾害类型以及关注新闻和天气报告。E项“Know what disasters may happen in your area.”概括本段主题，与下文具体方式形成总分关系。 【48题详解】 上文提到如果家人失散要计划相聚方式，下文说选择两个地点——一个在家外应对突发紧急情况，一个在社区外。C项“Choose two right places for everyone to go.”与上文“计划相聚”和下文“两个地点”形成具体呼应。 【49题详解】 上文提到救生包应包含家庭需要的必需品，下文提到还要考虑特殊需求。D项“For example, water, medicine and some tools.”举例说明必需品内容，与上文“必需品”形成具体呼应。 【50题详解】 上文提到定期与家人演练并确保每个人知道做什么，下文说自然灾难无法阻止但更多准备能更好保护自己。B项“These steps can help you survive.”总结上文准备工作的重要性，与下文“更好保护”形成逻辑衔接。 第二部分 V．情景交际 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据情景提示，用得体的英文表达完成下列对话 51. A: _____________________________________ when the snowstorm came? B: I was travelling on the train. 【答案】 What were you doing 【解析】 【详解】根据答语“I was travelling on the train.”使用了过去进行时，表示过去某一时刻(暴雪来临时)正在进行的动作。根据答语内容可知，问句是在询问“你正在做什么”，故特殊疑问词用What。过去进行时的特殊疑问句结构为“特殊疑问词+were/was+主语+doing+其他？”。问句主语隐含为you，因此be动词用were。What were you doing符合语境。 52. A: ______________________________________ a volunteer? B: I have been a volunteer at the museum for two years. 【答案】 How long have you been 【解析】 【详解】答句回答时长，出现时间段for two years，因此问句需针对时长提问，how long用于对持续一段时间的动作/状态提问，时态匹配现在完成时have been。对应固定句型How long have you been，符合语境。 53. A: I’m not feeling well. I think I have got a cold. What should I do? B: ___________________________________________________ 【答案】 You should see a doctor. (答案不唯一，如：You’d better drink more water and have a rest. 亦可) 【解析】 【详解】根据上文“I’m not feeling well. I think I have got a cold. What should I do?”可知，对方表示感冒了不舒服并征求建议，此处应给出合理的应对建议。故填You should see a doctor.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 54. A: Have you finished your book report? B: _________________________. But I’ve just borrowed the book from the library. 【答案】 No, I haven’t 【解析】 【详解】问句为现在完成时的一般疑问句，答句的后句说自己刚从图书馆借了这本书，既然书才刚借到，说明不可能已经完成读书报告，因此空处应填否定回答“No, 主语+haven’t”，问句主语“you”及答语后句中“I’ve”共同提示空处主语用I。 55. A: ___________________________________ Mount Qomolangma? B: It’s 8848.86 metres high. 【答案】 How high is 【解析】 【详解】结合B的回答“It’s 8848.86 metres high.”意为“它高8848.86米”，答句核心是说明山峰的高度数值，因此问句功能为询问事物的高度。 “How high is + 事物？……有多高？”是专门用于询问高度的基础句型，适配本题询问山峰高度的语境。 VI．看图写话 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. already ________________________________________________________________ 57. while ________________________________________________________________ 58. sort, important ________________________________________________________________ 59. long, world ________________________________________________________________ 60. yesterday ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56.

The Nile River is the longest river in the world. 60. The girl played the flute yesterday. 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图片和提示词“already”可知，本句可表达为“我已经读过《西游记》了”，用现在完成时，译为I have already read Journey to the West。“我”用I表示，作主语；“已经”用already，常置于have与过去分词之间；“读过”用have read表示，read为read的过去分词形式；“《西游记》”用Journey to the West表示，专有名词首字母大写。 【57题详解】 根据图片和提示词“while”可知，本句可表达为“那个男孩正在做作业，而他的爸爸正在洗碗”，用过去进行时，译为The boy was doing his homework while his father was washing the dishes。“那个男孩”用The boy表示，作主句的主语；“正在做作业”用was doing his homework表示，过去进行时结构；“而”用while引导时间状语从句，强调两个过去动作同时进行；“他的爸爸”用his father表示；“正在洗碗”用was washing the dishes表示。 【58题详解】 根据图片和提示词“sort, important”可知，本句可表达为“对垃圾进行分类是非常重要的”，用一般现在时，译为Sorting the rubbish is very important。“对……进行分类”用Sorting表示，动名词短语作主语；“垃圾”用the rubbish表示；“是”用is，主语为动名词短语，谓语动词用单数形式；“非常重要的”用very important表示，作表语。 【59题详解】 根据图片和提示词“long, world”可知，本句可表达为“尼罗河是世界上最长的河流”，用一般现在时，译为The Nile River is the longest river in the world。“尼罗河”用The Nile River表示，作主语；“是”用is，主语为单数；“最长的河流”用the longest river表示，形容词最高级前加the；“在世界上”用in the world表示，作地点状语。 【60题详解】 根据图片和提示词“yesterday”可知，本句可表达为“那个女孩昨天吹了笛子”，用一般过去时，译为The girl played the flute yesterday。“那个女孩”用The girl表示，作主语；“吹了”用played表示，为play的过去式；“笛子”用the flute表示，作宾语；“昨天”用yesterday表示，作时间状语。 VII．短文填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据语境或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词。要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使全文意思完整，行文连贯。 For Chinese people, chopsticks are one of the most commonly used ____61____ (thing) in daily life. But not many of us know the history of them. Chinese people ____62____ (start) to use chopsticks as early as the Shang Dynasty. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were called “Zhu”. “Zhu” sounds the same as “stop” in Chinese, which is ____63____ unlucky word. So by the Ming Dynasty, people began to call ____64____ (they) “Kuai”, meaning “fast” in Chinese. This is the start of today’s name of Chinese chopsticks. ____65____, there is no historical record about who made chopsticks. It is said that Dayu, the founder (建立者) of the Xia Dynasty, invented (发明) chopsticks. He used sticks to pick ____66____ hot food in order to save time for flood control. ____67____ (final), the floods were under control and the sticks that helped Dayu became chopsticks. Chopsticks are not just simple dining tools. They have their own special rules and traditions. Chinese people usually let the old people take up chopsticks first when they are ____68____ (eat) with the old people. Besides, playing with chopsticks is thought to be bad manners. It’s also ____69____ (polite) to make any noise with chopsticks. Nowadays, chopsticks are becoming popular around the world. People in many countries have learned to use them.

Finally 68. eating 69. impolite 70. closer 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍筷子的历史渊源、名称演变及相关文化习俗。 【61题详解】 句意：筷子是日常生活中最常用的物品之一。“one of + 可数名词复数”是固定搭配，thing的复数形式是things。 【62题详解】 句意：中国人早在商朝就开始使用筷子。“as early as the Shang Dynasty”描述过去的历史事实，需用一般过去时，start的过去式是started。 【63题详解】 句意：这是不吉利的词。空格后“unlucky word”为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一个”，需用不定冠词修饰；unlucky以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an。 【64题详解】 句意：人们开始称它们为“快”。动词“call”后需接宾语，指代前文的“chopsticks”，需用人称代词宾格，they的宾格形式是them。 【65题详解】 句意：然而，没有关于谁发明了筷子的历史记录。前文讲述了筷子的名称演变，后文说没有历史记录，前后是转折关系，且空格后有逗号，需用副词However连接，位于句首首字母大写。 【66题详解】 句意：他用木棍夹起热的食物。“pick up”是动词短语，意为“捡起、夹起”，为固定搭配。 【67题详解】 句意：最终，洪水得到了控制。空格处修饰整个句子，需用副词作状语，表示“最终”，final的副词形式是Finally，位于句首首字母大写。 【68题详解】 句意：当他们与老人一起吃饭时。时间状语从句“when they are...”中，表示“吃饭”这一动作，需用现在分词eating与“are”构成现在进行时。 【69题详解】 句意：用筷子发出任何声音也是不礼貌的。空格前“It’s”后需用形容词作表语；根据句意，用筷子发出声音是不礼貌的，polite加否定前缀im-变为impolite。 【70题详解】 句意：它们比以往任何时候都更让人们接近中国食物和传统。空格后“than”是比较级的标志词，表示与以前比较，需用形容词close的比较级形式closer。 VIII．书面表达(满分15分) 71. 我校将在下个月举办“中国文学节” (Chinese Literature Festival)，同时接待外国学生交流团。本次活动需要招募数名擅长英语且了解中国文学相关知识的志愿者。假定你是李华，你希望成为志愿者中的一员。请你结合以下提示，给该项目负责人王老师写一封英文自荐信。词数80词左右。 注意事项： 1．必须包含所有提示信息，可适当发挥，开头已给出，不计入总词数： 2．意思清楚，表达通顺，行文连贯，书写规范； 3．请勿在文中使用真实的姓名和校名。 Dear Mr Wang, I’m Li Hua.

In which part of the newspaper can we find the passage? A. Culture. B. Hobbies. C. Science. D. Travel. B Mary began to like her life here. Every morning, she went outside after breakfast and spent most of the day in the grounds. The cold wind brought pink to her face. And she finished all of her food each evening. She was much healthier. After dinner, she liked sitting near the fire and talking to Martha. “Why does Mr. Craven hate the locked garden?” Mary asked once. “It was Mrs. Craven’s garden and she loved it. She looked after the flowers together with Mr. Craven. No gardeners were allowed in.” “But what happened?” Mary asked. “There was an old tree in the garden with a branch like a seat. Mrs. Craven often sat there, reading and talking. One day, the branch broke and she fell down. She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.” Mary seldom felt sorry for anyone, but now she understood how sad her uncle must be. The wind roared (咆哮) around the house, and the doors and windows banged. Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying. “Can you hear someone crying?” she asked Martha. Martha seemed pretty worried. “No,” she answered. “It’s only the wind or the servant who works in the kitchen. She’s got a toothache. Perhaps she’s crying. I’m going to check if she needs any help.” After the words, Martha left the room quickly. When Martha left her alone, Mary decided to explore the house. She went quietly along corridors (走廊) and up and down stairs. In the silence of the house she heard it again. She stopped to listen at a door, but then another door opened and Mrs. Medlock came out. “What are you doing here?” she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. “Get back to your room at once.” -Adapted from The Secret Garden 31.

C At Wuying Village in Shangqiu, Henan, many elderly villagers gathered in front of a “Tian’anmen Square” to take a photo. Though they needed sticks and even wheelchairs to move, the joy on their faces was very clear. Why has a “Tian’anmen Square” appeared in a village? The story begins with a 40-year-old man named Wu Chengyan. Wu is a farmer and painter in Wuying Village. During a chat with an elderly villager, Wu learned that his greatest wish was to see Tian’anmen Square. Many old people in the village share the same dream. However, they have seldom travelled far in their lives. To fulfill their wish, Wu spent five days painting an 18-metre-long mural (壁画) of Tian’anmen Square and invited the elderly villagers for a group photo. Today, about 120 million people aged 60 and above live in rural China. Their younger family members move away to cities for work, making “empty-nest” households (空巢家庭) a common reality in the countryside. Across much of China, more and more villages have built special care centres for the elderly. These centres are close to old people’s homes. So they can stay in familiar places while enjoying good meals, care, and friendship. Many centres also work with village clinics (诊所) and hospitals to offer better health care services. Like painter Wu Chengyan, many young people across China are caring for the elderly in their own ways. Since the elderly had few chances to be photographed when they were young, many young volunteers take photos of them or △ with cameras. Through short videos, the elderly people share everyday stories of village life, learn how to avoid scams (诈骗) , or try selling things through live streaming (直播) . In these new roles, their later life has been lit up with fresh purpose and new possibilities. 36. Why did Wu Chengyan paint the “Tian’anmen Square” mural? A. To practise his painting skills. B. To attract visitors to the village. C. To honour the village’s historical past. D. To realize the elderly villagers’ dream. 37. Which of the following pictures shows a “rural” scene? A. B. C. D. 38. What is the advantage of the special care centres in villages? A. They provide jobs for young villagers. B. They give the elderly a sense of purpose. C. They let the elderly stay locally while getting care. D. They offer the old villagers free medical treatment. 39. Which of the following can be put in △? A. record their daily lives B. take care of them C. talk with them online D. buy goods for them 40. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The benefits of short videos for the elderly. B. The care given by the youth to the elderly. C. The volunteer programmes in China’s villages. D. The main hobbies of elderly villagers in China. D Invasive species (入侵物种) are plants and animals which arrive in an area where they are not native, usually because of human activity. They are often able to grow quickly in their new homes because they have no natural enemies. As a result, they may replace or damage native plants and animals living in the same environment. Red squirrels used to be a common sight in Britain. Then, in the 1870s, grey squirrels were introduced from North America because rich people thought they looked fashionable in their large gardens. At first sight, the two species of squirrels are similar. They both have a long tail, large eyes and small ears. However, the red squirrel has a length of around 19 to 23 cm and a body weight of 250 to 340 grams. Grey squirrels are larger. Their length measures between 23 and 30 cm and their body weighs between 400 and 600 grams. That allows them to store more fat and helps them to survive hard winters, making it possible for them to win the battle (战役) between the two species finally. More differences explain why red squirrels lost in the competition with grey squirrels. First, red squirrels live high up in the trees, while grey squirrels spend more time on the ground. They fully depend on tall trees to find food and build nests. Any loss of forest habitat greatly affects red squirrels. Another reason is that grey squirrels can adapt (适应) to a new environment more easily. For example, they are able to eat food offered by humans. What’s worse, grey squirrels carry parapoxvirus (副痘病毒), which is deadly to the reds. It seems that scientists can’t do much to help red squirrels survive in Britain. Some politicians support destroying populations of grey squirrels, but many British people say that is cruel (残忍的). Red squirrels have been successfully reintroduced from other countries. They are now protected in places where there are no grey squirrels. 41. What is the problem caused by invasive species? A. They eat all local food. B. They replace native wildlife. C. They grow too slowly. D. They bring more natural enemies. 42. Why did grey squirrels first arrive in Britain? A. They escaped from ships. B. They needed warmer weather. C. They were fashionable garden pets. D. They followed red squirrels here. 43. What harms red squirrels most? A. Living in the forest. B. Eating human food. C. Having smaller eyes. D.
