It is said to be the last cartoon movie by Hayao Miyazaki. Go to see the movie today and tell me you like it or not. Feel free to leave your thoughts. Share 480 Comments(评论) 1,212 Likes 2,800 Wei Ying : I just came out from the theatre. This movie is a story about life and nature. The death of the boy’s mother changed him. He taught me how to face difficulties with a strong heart, and reminded me to protect the environment. It’s truly meaningful. 11:12 IP: Zhejiang Lan Zhan : I went to the theatre this morning, and this was the first thing I did when I got up. Each character is very perfect, especially the heron (苍鹭), because it’s not only the connection between the boy and himself but also the boy and the nature. I will try to find myself too. 12:01 IP: Shanxi Xie Lian : I will watch the movie again this evening! I can’t wait to share my feelings. This movie is wonderful. Many people didn’t see the hidden meaning of the movie— anti-war(反战). The boy Jin’s adventure makes me think of the values of my own life. Hayao Miyazaki is a great director. I hope I can be a good director too in the future. 18:01 IP: Guangdong 16. The movie The Boy and the Heron is _________ cartoon movie by Hayao Miyazaki. A. the first B. the last C. the greatest D. the shortest 17. What time did Wei Ying finish watching the movie? A. Around 11 in the morning. B. At 9 in the morning. C. Around 11 in the evening. D.

In a book about a famous director. C. On a website with all kinds of news. D. In a magazine about space travel. B Who do you think would win in a race: a tiger or an ostrich? The answer is the ostrich! The world’s largest bird can’t fly, but it can run at up to 70 kilometres each hour, making it one of the world’s fastest animals. Here are some more interesting facts about ostriches! They have large bodies and large eggs. An ostrich can grow up to 2.75 metres tall and weigh over 150 kg. Then it may be no surprise that ostrich eggs are the largest eggs in the world. And the egg is so strong that even if a person stands on it, it won’t break! ________ Never make an ostrich angry—it’s not afraid to use its strong kick! An ostrich kick is strong enough to kill many animals, even lions. Their heads aren’t in the sand. Some people think ostriches often bury their heads in the sand to hide (躲避) from danger, but they don’t actually do this! They do make holes to put their eggs in, however. So if you see an ostrich with its head in the sand, it may be checking (检查) on its eggs! 21. What can we know about ostrich eggs from Paragraph 2? A. They can break easily. B. They are very strong. C. Each of them is about 150 kg. D. They are as heavy as a person. 22. Which of the following can be put in ________? A. They have a strong kick. B. They get angry easily. C. They kill many animals. D. They are stronger than lions. 23. Why may an ostrich bury its head in the sand? A. To have a rest. B. To make itself cool. C. To hide from danger. D. To check on its eggs. 24.

To give advice on protecting the ostrich. C. To tell some interesting facts about the ostrich. D. To tell us differences between ostriches and other birds. C The soldiers stepped in perfect lines during the military parade (阅兵) on Sept 3. Did you enjoy watching them? Maybe everyone would say “yes” as uniformity makes us feel so good. The reason is that our brains love orderly things, according to China Science Communication. This has to do with something called “processing fluency (加工流畅性) ”. It helps our brain do things easily, such as remembering and deciding. Usually, symmetry (对称) , clear shapes and sharp contrast (对比) can help improve processing fluency. But why does our brain like this fluency? Scientists have different ideas. Some say it’s because our brain doesn’t have to work hard to understand. This helps us make quick choices without thinking too hard. Another idea is that our brains learned this from evolution (进化). When things are easy to get, our brain thinks we’re safe. But if things get tricky, it might mean danger, said Psychology Today. The neocortex (新皮质), a part of our brain, plays a big part in this. It has 300 million brain cells that look for patterns to help us learn. Processing fluency can be helpful for marketing (市场营销). For example, Apple often uses this idea to make its ads simple and clear. This way, people can understand and remember their products (产品) very easily. 26. How does the writer start the passage? A. By sharing a good feeling. B. By comparing different feelings. C. By giving an example. D. By explaining a scientific idea. 27. What does the underlined word “uniformity” mean in Paragraph 1? A. 严阵以待 B. 整齐划一 C. 军威浩荡 D. 威风凛凛 28. Which is the easiest picture for our brain to process? A. B. C. D. 29. According to Paragraph 4, why does uniformity make people feel good? A. Because it is helpful for the evolution of the brain. B. Because it helps the neocortex work better. C. Because it excites most of our brain cells. D. Because it tells the brain that everything is okay. 30. What does the example of Apple show? A. The use of the scientific rule. B. Different marketing skills. C. The evolution of our brains. D. Ways to process fluency. 第二节（共5小题，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项为多余选项） Are you an “E” person or an “I” person? Do you know the differences?

Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly (苍蝇) touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses (压) the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly. Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all these important things, especially nitrogen (氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need.

A 5. B 6. C 7. D 8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述双胞胎Mia和Marina外貌几乎一模一样，但生活习惯处处相反、经常争吵，父母借助一块正反两面颜色不同的木板，让她们懂得两个人的观点或许都没有错的故事。 【1题详解】 句意：她们身高一样，都长着一头漂亮的金色长发。 介词with可以用来描述人自带的外貌特征，贴合句子想要表达“拥有长发”的含义。in“搭配衣物色彩”，of“表所属关系”，for“表目的”，三者均不适用于此处。 【2题详解】 句意：就连她们的父母都很难分清姐妹俩的差别。 前文交代二人是双胞胎、长相高度相似，difference表示“差异、不同之处”，贴合前后文逻辑。result“结果”，problem“麻烦”，talent“天赋”，代入句子语义不通。 【3题详解】 句意：尽管两人看起来一模一样，姐妹俩在其他很多方面都截然不同。 句子前后存在让步关系，Although是连词，可引导让步状语从句，契合句内转折逻辑。However“副词，无法连接完整句子”，As“因为”，Because“由于”，均和本句逻辑冲突。 【4题详解】 句意：尽管两人看起来一模一样，姐妹俩在其他很多方面都截然不同。 in most other ways表示“在大多数其他方面”是常用搭配，ways符合要求。things“事物”，kinds“种类”，points“要点”，都无法和介词in构成该固定短语。 【5题详解】 句意：米娅是左撇子，玛丽娜却习惯用右手写字。 本段核心对比姐妹左右手使用习惯，写字需要用到手，writes“写字，书写”贴合本段对比主题。plays“玩耍”，reads“阅读”，cooks“做饭”，均和左右手使用习惯无关。 【6题详解】 句意：米娅喜欢夜里学习，玛丽娜却更偏爱清晨。 句中while表对比，和night“夜晚”形成对应的时间是morning“清晨”，符合二人作息相反的设定。evening“傍晚”，afternoon“下午”，noon“中午”，都无法和夜晚形成对立对比。 【7题详解】 句意：举个例子，米娅觉得早起十分煎熬，玛丽娜却反驳说：“清晨空气很清爽。” wake up是固定词组，含义为“起床”，waking能和空后up搭配构成早起的语义。giving“给予”，standing“站立”，showing“展示”，都不能表达起床的意思。 【8题详解】 句意：可玛丽娜却说：“当你昏昏欲睡时，很难熬到深夜！” stay up late是固定短语，意思是“熬夜”，和前文夜晚学习、犯困的内容相呼应。hang out“外出闲逛”，care about“在意”，look up“查阅、向上看”，均和熬夜学习的话题无关。 【9题详解】 句意：姐妹俩总吵架，她们的父母决定结束这场无休止的争执。 put an end to是固定短语，意为“终止、结束”，end填入此处语义通顺。idea“想法”，fire“火焰”，joke“玩笑”，均不能和put，to搭配表达停止争吵。 【10题详解】 句意：之后父母设计了一件事，让姐妹俩明白两个人的观点可能都是正确的。 后文木板一面黑一面白，姐妹二人各自看到的颜色都属实，both指代“两者都”，贴合后文情节。either“二者任意一个”，all“用于三者及以上”，neither“两者都不”，都不符合木板带来的道理。 【11题详解】 句意：她们看不到对方看到的那一面木板。 两人分别站在木板两侧，视线被木板隔开，couldn’t表示“不能，没办法”，贴合当时的场景。shouldn’t“不应该”，mustn’t“禁止”，needn’t“不必”，都不符合视线受阻的客观情况。 【12题详解】 句意：妈妈问道：“这块木板是什么颜色？” 后文两人一个说黑色一个说白色，围绕木板的色彩展开争论，colour“颜色”贴合对话内容。size“尺寸”，kind“种类”，height“高度”，和后文黑白的回答不匹配。 【13题详解】 句意：父母让她们两人交换位置。 此处指代Mia和Marina两个女孩，人称代词them用来指代复数女性。us“我们”，it“它，单数”，her“她，单数”，人称数量不匹配。 【14题详解】 句意：她们都十分吃惊：米娅这边涂成黑色，玛丽娜那边涂成白色。 交换位置后发现木板两面颜色不同，完全超出两人预料，surprised表示“吃惊的”，贴合此刻心情。excited“兴奋的”，interested“感兴趣的”，relaxed“放松的”，无法体现出乎意料的感受。 【15题详解】 句意：我们大多都和米娅、玛丽娜一样，总认为自己是对的，最后才发现别人也可能没错。 经历这件事后才知晓他人也有道理，find out表示“弄清楚、发觉”，贴合全文主旨。think of“想到”，make up“编造、和解”，worry about“担心”，无法体现事后知晓真相的含义。 二、阅读理解（共20小题，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题，满分30分） 阅读下面三篇短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。 A @The Boy and the Heron April 3rd, 2024 00:05 IP: Beijing Today’s the opening day of the new movie The Boy and the Heron.

Did you enjoy watching them? Maybe everyone would say “yes” as uniformity makes us feel so good. The reason is that our brains love orderly things, according to China Science Communication. This has to do with something called “processing fluency (加工流畅性) ”. It helps our brain do things easily, such as remembering and deciding. Usually, symmetry (对称) , clear shapes and sharp contrast (对比) can help improve processing fluency. But why does our brain like this fluency? Scientists have different ideas. Some say it’s because our brain doesn’t have to work hard to understand. This helps us make quick choices without thinking too hard. Another idea is that our brains learned this from evolution (进化). When things are easy to get, our brain thinks we’re safe. But if things get tricky, it might mean danger, said Psychology Today. The neocortex (新皮质), a part of our brain, plays a big part in this. It has 300 million brain cells that look for patterns to help us learn. Processing fluency can be helpful for marketing (市场营销). For example, Apple often uses this idea to make its ads simple and clear. This way, people can understand and remember their products (产品) very easily. 26. How does the writer start the passage? A. By sharing a good feeling. B. By comparing different feelings. C. By giving an example. D. By explaining a scientific idea. 27. What does the underlined word “uniformity” mean in Paragraph 1?

Because it is helpful for the evolution of the brain. B. Because it helps the neocortex work better. C. Because it excites most of our brain cells. D. Because it tells the brain that everything is okay. 30. What does the example of Apple show? A. The use of the scientific rule. B. Different marketing skills. C. The evolution of our brains. D. Ways to process fluency. 【答案】26. C 27. B 28. B 29. D 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以阅兵为例引出大脑喜欢有序事物的现象，解释其与加工流畅性的关系及进化原因，还提及该原理在营销和生活中的应用。 【26题详解】 根据第一段“The soldiers stepped in perfect lines during the military parade on Sept 3.”可知，作者通过举阅兵的例子开篇。 【27题详解】 根据文章开头“The soldiers stepped in perfect lines”以及第二段“our brains love orderly things”可以推测，uniformity的意思与“完美、有序”接近，即“整齐划一” 【28题详解】 根据第二段“ Usually, symmetry, clear shapes and sharp contrast can help improve processing fluency.”可知，对称、形状清晰、对比鲜明的图片最易被大脑处理，选项B的图片符合。 【29题详解】 根据第四段“When things are easy to get, our brain thinks we’re safe. But if things get tricky, it might mean danger”可知，整齐划一的事物让大脑觉得容易理解，意味着安全，即“一切都好”。 【30题详解】 根据最后一段“Processing fluency can be helpful for marketing.”可知，苹果的例子是对“加工流畅性”的实际应用。 第二节（共5小题，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项为多余选项） Are you an “E” person or an “I” person? Do you know the differences? In this article, we will talk about the differences between “E” people and “I” people. ____31____ According to a survey, “E” people are more outgoing and active in activities than “I” people. ____32____ However, “I” people like to spend time alone more than communicating with others. When it comes to making friends, “E” people like to have a larger circle of friends and build stronger connections with others quickly. ____33____ They feel more comfortable and relaxed with fewer people around. Besides, “E” people and “I” people may have different opinions about the same behavior (行为). “E” people think some behaviours are polite and acceptable. ____34____ For example, “E” people may interrupt (打断) others in conversation, which can make “I” people feel uncomfortable. ____35____ “I” people may become more outgoing as they practise socializing (交际) and get confidence (自信), while “E” people may become less interested in making new friends as they age and only look for relaxation and a quiet “me time”.

Maybe not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap (捕蝇草). The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly (苍蝇) touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses (压) the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly. Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor.
