B One day, my young grandson Milo asked me a special favor: he needed to “borrow” a grandmother for his best friend Charlie. Charlie was my grandson’s first best friend, who had become close friends in kindergarten. “Our class is making cards for Mother’s Day,” he explained, “but when I asked the teacher when Grandma’s Day was, she said that there really wasn’t one. So, Charlie and I are going to make a day”, he assured me, “but we need a grandma for Charlie. I have two, but he doesn’t even have one.” Our house was no more than a quick twenty-minute drive away. I could hardly refuse his sweet request. Three days later, I found an envelope with two large red hearts, where a stamp would usually be attached, under my pillow: Grandmother’s Day, 2:00 p.m., Saturday, May 13. At the appointed time, I knocked on the screen door. Welcoming yellow and blue balloons were tied to the handle, so I did not want to risk pulling it open. The boys were clean and excited, waiting for me eagerly. The table was beautifully prepared with lemonade, forks and themed napkins (餐巾). Every piece was covered with different stickers, such as stars, animals, trucks and cars. Mine had a warm little grandma pattern, with the words “Happy Grandmother’s Day” on it. Charlie could not hide his pride and said happily that his mother had made a chocolate cake for the event, “But,” he told everyone, “you have to eat a sandwich first. And,” he continued without a pause, “MY GRANDMOTHER came to my house yesterday, and we decorated the cake with cream together.” “No! ” Milo immediately corrected. “That’s MY grandmother.” He frowned (皱眉) firmly, unwilling to share me with anyone else. Noticing their argument, I was about to kneel down and comfort them. But Milo suddenly calmed himself down, looked at Charlie sincerely and said, “Next Grandmother’s Day, we’ll prepare everything together from start to finish. And we’ll save the biggest piece for Grandma—no arguing. We’ll celebrate happily and have a wonderful Grandmother’s Day again.” 24. Why did Milo turn to the author for help? A. To act as Charlie’s grandma. B. To prepare a family gathering. C. To accompany his lonely friend D. To draw a card for Mother’s Day. 25. How did the author react to Milo’s request? A. She felt surprised at the boy’s plan. B. She thought the boy’s idea was creative. C. She was touched by Milo’s sincere idea. D. She wondered if the plan would work well. 26. Which of the following best describes Milo? A. Caring and easy-going. B. Childish but thoughtful. C. Independent and devoted. D. Self-centered but determined. 27. What is the main theme of the passage? A. The warmth of family and friendship. B. The value of friendship between kids. C. The courage of solving disagreements. D. The love from the elderly to the young. C What does it take to become the best at something? The answer may not lie in early childhood excellence or in lifelong, full devotion. Instead, the path to becoming really good at a skill might involve a lot more exploration. Recent research explores what it takes to be greater than others in fields, from sports to chess to classical music. Somewhat against common sense, people who showed the greatest promise in their area as children rarely went on to reach the peak (顶峰) as adults. Psychologist Brooke Macna says that the findings blow up “the 10,000-hour rule”, the idea that if someone spends 10,000 hours on purpose practicing a skill, they will master it. The rule is based on a former study of top-performing violin students. These students had each built up an average of 10,000 hours of practice by age 20. Yet they were not world-class performers. “Compared with national-class counterparts (对手), world-class performers often started their field later,” Macna explains. These people tend to engage in various activities early on and don’t shine in one thing at a particularly young age. They have less practice in their field and more practice in others and then rise to the top relatively late. “This pattern doesn’t follow the idea of the focused practice theory or the 10,000-hour rule, both of which suggest that starting early and making full use of focused practice is the path to top-level performance,” Macna adds. The researcher highlights that the findings aren’t suggesting people don’t need to put in effort to become a chess master or a sport winner. Instead, they show that top adult performers tend to be “late risers”. In sports, for example, world-class athletes peak later than national-class athletes. Those who peak early reach a level that is the best for their age but that isn’t as high as what the other group will finally achieve when older. For the young failing to make it to the top: do not lose heart. Most world-class performers didn’t, either. 28. What does the underlined words blow up in paragraph 3 mean? A. Challenge. B. Stress. C. Follow. D. Ignore. 29. What can be inferred from the “10,000-hour rule”? A. It is concluded from top chess players. B. It is well supported by the new research. C. It is strictly followed by world-class athletes. D. It helps people reach a high but not top level. 30. What is a typical feature of world-class performers A. An early start in professional training. B. Various attempts before focused practice. C. Extraordinary performances at an early age. D. Mastery of a single skill with sufficient practice. 31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To explain how to achieve the peak. B. To prevent early cross-field practice. C. To prove long-time practice is useless. D. To encourage late risers not to give up. D Fermented (发酵的) foods are enjoyed worldwide for their strong, often salty and spicy tastes. This makes them particularly attractive to astronauts, who report that their sense of taste can get weaker in space. Although many dishes have been prepared on the International Space Station (ISS), nothing has ever been fermented there. Indeed, given that microgravity and strong energy rays from space might affect the microbial (微生物的) interactions needed for this process, it has always been unclear if fermentation was even possible in space. Now, researchers Maggie Coble from Massachusetts and Josh Evans from Denmark have proved that fermentation is possible by creating miso, a kind of condiment (酱料), in space. They first prepared a ready-to-ferment mixture using cooked soybeans, salt and rice previously fermented. The mixture was separated into three containers and frozen. One remained in Denmark, one went to Massachusetts, and one was sent to Houston for transport to the ISS. All of them fermented for several weeks. When the miso returned to Earth for analysis, researchers identified all the chemicals normally found in this condiment. Taste tests showed that the taste was similar compared to Danish and Massachusetts miso. Even so, it was different enough for the researchers to call it “space miso”. The space miso had a stronger sweet taste than the Earth-made miso, coming from high levels of C₆H₁₀O₂, the same chemical also found in honey and some wines. It also had stronger cheese-like taste, probably resulting from higher concentrations of an acid, a type of chemical. Why these chemicals appeared in greater amounts remains unconfirmed, but microgravity is the likely cause. Under normal condition on Earth, a small amount of gas produced by microbes during fermentation simply rise upwards to the surface. Not so in space. In microgravity, the gas travel in all directions, probably affecting microbial growth by changing how important gases like oxygen spread around. Now that fermentation has been shown to be possible, the door opens for producing other foods for future space travelers. 32. What makes fermentation difficult in space? A. The strong tastes of fermented foods. B. The variety of food prepared on the ISS. C. Special conditions of space environment. D. Astronauts’ weak sense of taste in space. 33. What approach did the researchers adopt in the experiment? A. A research using different materials. B. A study of several kinds of condiments. C. A test on different fermentation periods. D. A comparison in different environments. 34. How does space miso differ from regular one? A. A distinct cheese taste. B. Increased chemical types. C. A honey-and-wine-like note. D. Reduced sugar concentration. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward the space fermentation research? A. Unclear. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. 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。 Auto Racing: More Than Just Speed “DRIVERS, START your engines! ” This famous shout marks the beginning of an exciting NASCAR Cup Series, which is a popular auto racing sport in the US with a rich history and global popularity. To win the Cup Series, drivers must have the most points at the end of the 36-race season. ___ They race more than 12,000 miles in a season, which is like traveling from New York to Los Angeles and back twice. Many people think auto racing is only for men, but women make up about 37% of the fan base. Danica Patrick is perhaps the most famous female driver. In 2013, she became the first woman to hold the pole position—the front and most favorable spot at the start of a race. ___ Clearly, auto racing is a sport for everyone—both on the track and in the stands. While auto racing has become more inclusive, it remains naturally dangerous. In 2001, a terrible crash took the life of the driver Dale during the final lap. After that, NASCAR made several important safety improvements, such as the HANS device to protect the neck and the SAFER barrier around the track. ___ However, many people may not realize that auto racing is a highly demanding physical sport. During a race, a driver’s heart rate can reach 170 to 180 beats per minute—similar to that of marathon runners. Drivers also lose up to 7 pounds of sweat from start to finish. ___ It truly tests their physical limits. ___ It brings together diverse audiences, encourages technological innovation and improves local economies. Fans appreciate the skill, bravery, and excitement that racing offers. They view it as more than just a sport but as a symbol of will power and progress. A. They must also wear special clothes. B. She proved that females had great wisdom. C. Auto racing is more than just a test of speed. D. Therefore, drivers require quick breaks to regain energy. E. Female drivers are increasingly making their mark today. F. They earn points based on their finishing position in each race. G. Thanks to the changes, drivers are better protected than before. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every day after school, Lucas and Noah pressed their noses against Mr. Henderson’s shop window.
