Writer Shan Xiaohua was deep in thought with her pen in hand in a room. Ma Jun was leaning back with a relaxed expression on his face, exploring the world of literature with his cellphone. In a shop, blind writer Zhao Ling was listening to classic works with customers while working…These scenes take place in Xiji county, a mountainous area in southern Ningxia. It has won the name Hometown of Literature.
Historically speaking, the region has deep roots in it. The Xihaigu area was once a passage along the Silk Road, with active exchanges and diverse folk arts such as folk singing hua’er, storytelling and Qinqiang Opera, as well as events like blessing events during the Spring Festival. For thousands of years, diverse cultures have mixed together, creating a unique humanistic atmosphere here, which influenced and guided people born and raised here to turn their thoughts about the land, nation, homeland and themselves into words on the page.
Reality has always been a source of inspiration. Considered as “one of the most unfit places for human settlement” by the UN in the 1970s, Xihaigu once had nothing but the poor land, droughts and a weak ecological (生态的) environment. People living here had no choice but to suffer the difficulties of life. It was literature that gave them strength.
Clean and tidy roads, public squares with well-equipped facilities, schools full of books, factories with orderly production…Great changes have taken place in Xihaigu. In the past, being poor stopped people from writing as they struggled to feed themselves first. Now, writing reflects their wish for a better life. More people can create literary works. Here, the flowers of literature bloom everywhere; here, literature is the land that grows the best crops.
4. What is the purpose of describing the scenes in the first paragraph?
A. To show writing is easy to master.
B. To describe the locals’ love for writing.
C. To introduce some writers in Xiji county.
D. To compare the situation in different times.
5. What is the most typical feature of the Xihaigu area as mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Socially disordered. B. Culturally rich.
C. Historically important. D. Geographically diverse.
6. What role did literature play for the people in Xiji in the past?
A. A source of spiritual support.
B. A written record of sufferings.
C. An expression of gratitude.
D. A bridge to the outside world.
7. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The special geography of Xiji county.
B. The spiritual goals of people in Xiji county.
C. The historical cultural importance of Xiji county.
D. The power of literature for people in Xiji county.
C
If the other paintings in the room that houses Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris could talk, they might be whispering “Good riddance (解脱)!” to one another right now. That’s because of the French government’s announcement that the world’s most famous painting is to be removed from the Salle des Etats and rehoused in its own space in the Louvre with a special entrance.
This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of show and presentation it should have. The move that aims to relieve the Louvre’s overcrowding problem isn’t just great for Mona Lisa. It could also allow the dozens of other artworks in the Salle des Etats by the likes of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese to finally receive their due.
“People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’,” said Souleymane, a professor of French and philosophy at Columbia University who was appointed by the museum in 2024 to give a series of lectures about its art collection. “And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be attracted by Mona Lisa.” The other major paintings in the space include Titian’s Pastoral Concert, Tintoretto’s The Coronation of the Virgin, and Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa.
“The Wedding Feast at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre,” said Compagnon, a professor at the College de France and at Columbia University. Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove.
8. What is the reason for moving Mona Lisa to a new area in the Louvre?
A. To stress its importance.
B. To make room for a show.
C. To draw more visitors to the Louvre.
D. To improve its show conditions.
9. What is Souleymane’s attitude toward the government’s decision?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
10. Which painting is displayed on the wall opposite Mona Lisa?
A. Pastoral Concert. B. The Wedding Feast at Cana.
C. Man with a Glove. D. The Coronation of the Virgin.
11. What does Compagnon suggest about the Mona Lisa?
A. It needs better protection.
B. It fails to live up to its fame.
C. It should be promoted through lectures.
D. It steals attention from other paintings.
D
All good things must come to an end, and the astonishing life of the International Space Station (ISS) is no different.
First launched in 1998, the ISS is used for a wide range of experiments and has hosted nearly 300 astronauts from 26 different countries in an impressive display of international cooperation. However, after a quarter century in action, the ISS is wearing down. Life in orbit is very hard on the station, which causes more damage than anything on Earth. Not only that, but in a world where technological advancements are coming at a fast pace, the technology built into the ISS is becoming outdated.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and its partner agencies debated different approaches to decommissioning (终止使用) the ISS. One early idea was to move the ISS to even higher orbit, but that would be very risky because, without regular care, the station could break down and leave behind parts that could rain down on Earth, causing serious problems. They also considered taking apart the station in space and bringing it home piece by piece, but this process would be too expensive and difficult. The only realistic end to the ISS is to bring the whole thing crashing down to Earth at once.
Fortunately, Earth’s atmosphere will help to reduce the danger by incinerating a large part of the ISS as it goes downwards. This will happen because the speedy fall from space will create enough friction (摩擦力) between the station and the air to start a fire. However, many parts of the ISS will survive this breakup, and those are expected to land in a point in the South Atlantic Ocean called Point Nemo, which is considered the most remote location on Earth, a technological graveyard.
NASA has announced that it will not create a replacement for the ISS. Instead, a new order is set to be established, in which private companies operate space stations. China’s Tiangong Space Station was launched in 2021, and it seems clear now that the future of space exploration lies in several stations, not one central hub like the ISS.
12. What is the current state of the International Space Station?
A. It lacks research fund.
B. It requires technological updates.
C. It is nearing the end of its service life.
D. It is experiencing a cycle of performance tests.
13. What concerns NASA and its partners on ISS decommissioning?
A. Pollution and dangers. B. Safety and expense.
C. Technology and cost. D. Responsibilities and risks.
14. What does the underlined word “incinerating” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Burning up. B. Crashing into. C. Cutting off. D. Sweeping away.
15. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. What’s Wrong with the Space Exploration?
B. What Challenges Does Space Exploration Face?
C. Where Will the International Space Station Land?
D. How Far Can the Tiangong Space Station Reach?

One winter day after school, Tim asked his mother to allow him to go out and play in the snow. “Sure, you can. Remember to put on your coat, your hat and your gloves,” his mother said. “You can build a snowman before your father comes home.”
“I’m going to need a carrot for the nose,” Tim said. “And I’ll need some things for the snowman’s hat and face.” Tim got a bucket (桶) and collected everything he needed to decorate his snowman. His mother promised she would watch him build the snowman from the window.
Outside, in his front yard, Tim started with a very small ball of snow. He got on his knees and rolled the snow into a big ball. At another window, someone else was watching Tim play. It was his new neighbour Jenny. Jenny asked her mother if she could go outside and join Tim in building his snowman. Jenny’s mother agreed and promised to watch her from the window. “You can play until your father comes home,” her mother said.
Jenny ran outside to Tim’s yard and asked if she could help him finish his snowman.
“Yes, please help me,” Tim said. “I have built my snowman’s body with two snowballs. I need to roll one more for my snowman’s head.”
“But snowmen only have two snowballs. One is for the body and the other one is for the head,” Jenny said.
“No, snowmen always have three snowballs,” Tim said. “I don’t think I need you to help me after all.”
Tim picked up some snow and made it into a small snowball. He got on his knees and rolled the snow away from Jenny to make the snowman’s head. Jenny walked back into her own yard and began to build her own snowman.
Tim made a hat for his snowman with his bucket. He used his mother’s buttons for the eyes and mouth. Lastly, he added a carrot for the snowman’s nose. Seeing his snowman, Tim was happy, but suddenly a terrible thing happened. The head fell off the snowman and crashed onto the ground! “Oh, no! My snowman fell apart,” Tim said, “and my father is almost home!”

Writer Shan Xiaohua was deep in thought with her pen in hand in a room. Ma Jun was leaning back with a relaxed expression on his face, exploring the world of literature with his cellphone. In a shop, blind writer Zhao Ling was listening to classic works with customers while working…These scenes take place in Xiji county, a mountainous area in southern Ningxia. It has won the name Hometown of Literature.
Historically speaking, the region has deep roots in it. The Xihaigu area was once a passage along the Silk Road, with active exchanges and diverse folk arts such as folk singing hua’er, storytelling and Qinqiang Opera, as well as events like blessing events during the Spring Festival. For thousands of years, diverse cultures have mixed together, creating a unique humanistic atmosphere here, which influenced and guided people born and raised here to turn their thoughts about the land, nation, homeland and themselves into words on the page.
Reality has always been a source of inspiration. Considered as “one of the most unfit places for human settlement” by the UN in the 1970s, Xihaigu once had nothing but the poor land, droughts and a weak ecological (生态的) environment. People living here had no choice but to suffer the difficulties of life. It was literature that gave them strength.
Clean and tidy roads, public squares with well-equipped facilities, schools full of books, factories with orderly production…Great changes have taken place in Xihaigu. In the past, being poor stopped people from writing as they struggled to feed themselves first. Now, writing reflects their wish for a better life. More people can create literary works. Here, the flowers of literature bloom everywhere; here, literature is the land that grows the best crops.

If the other paintings in the room that houses Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris could talk, they might be whispering “Good riddance (解脱)!” to one another right now. That’s because of the French government’s announcement that the world’s most famous painting is to be removed from the Salle des Etats and rehoused in its own space in the Louvre with a special entrance.
This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of show and presentation it should have. The move that aims to relieve the Louvre’s overcrowding problem isn’t just great for Mona Lisa. It could also allow the dozens of other artworks in the Salle des Etats by the likes of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese to finally receive their due.
“People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’,” said Souleymane, a professor of French and philosophy at Columbia University who was appointed by the museum in 2024 to give a series of lectures about its art collection. “And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be attracted by Mona Lisa.” The other major paintings in the space include Titian’s Pastoral Concert, Tintoretto’s The Coronation of the Virgin, and Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa.
“The Wedding Feast at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre,” said Compagnon, a professor at the College de France and at Columbia University. Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove.
8. What is the reason for moving Mona Lisa to a new area in the Louvre?
A. To stress its importance.
B. To make room for a show.
C. To draw more visitors to the Louvre.
D. To improve its show conditions.
9. What is Souleymane’s attitude toward the government’s decision?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
10. Which painting is displayed on the wall opposite Mona Lisa?
A. Pastoral Concert. B. The Wedding Feast at Cana.
C. Man with a Glove. D. The Coronation of the Virgin.
11. What does Compagnon suggest about the Mona Lisa?
A. It needs better protection.
B. It fails to live up to its fame.
C. It should be promoted through lectures.
D. It steals attention from other paintings.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍卢浮宫决定将《蒙娜丽莎》迁至独立展厅展出,此举不仅能改善其展出条件、缓解展厅拥挤,也能让同展厅其他珍贵画作获得游客关注。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of show and presentation it should have.(这个独立于博物馆其他部分的特定空间,将让《蒙娜丽莎》获得它本该拥有的展示条件和陈列环境。)”可知,搬迁的主要原因是为了改善其展示条件。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’(人们来这里只是为了打卡‘我参观了《蒙娜丽莎》的展柜’)”以及“And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be attracted by Mona Lisa.(即使你怀着欣赏其他画作的目的进入展厅,也会被《蒙娜丽莎》吸引。)”可知,Souleymane认可现状弊端,支持此次搬迁决定。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa.(韦罗内塞的《卡纳的婚宴》,这是一幅巨大的画作,人们不去看它,因为它挂在正对《蒙娜丽莎》的墙上。)”可知,与《蒙娜丽莎》相对的是The Wedding Feast at Cana。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove.(Compagnon还对游客能够关注到他在这个房间里最喜爱的画作——提香的《戴手套的人》感到兴奋。)”可推知,Compagnon认为《蒙娜丽莎》此前抢占了其他画作的关注度。

All good things must come to an end, and the astonishing life of the International Space Station (ISS) is no different.
First launched in 1998, the ISS is used for a wide range of experiments and has hosted nearly 300 astronauts from 26 different countries in an impressive display of international cooperation. However, after a quarter century in action, the ISS is wearing down. Life in orbit is very hard on the station, which causes more damage than anything on Earth. Not only that, but in a world where technological advancements are coming at a fast pace, the technology built into the ISS is becoming outdated.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and its partner agencies debated different approaches to decommissioning (终止使用) the ISS. One early idea was to move the ISS to even higher orbit, but that would be very risky because, without regular care, the station could break down and leave behind parts that could rain down on Earth, causing serious problems. They also considered taking apart the station in space and bringing it home piece by piece, but this process would be too expensive and difficult. The only realistic end to the ISS is to bring the whole thing crashing down to Earth at once.
Fortunately, Earth’s atmosphere will help to reduce the danger by incinerating a large part of the ISS as it goes downwards. This will happen because the speedy fall from space will create enough friction (摩擦力) between the station and the air to start a fire. However, many parts of the ISS will survive this breakup, and those are expected to land in a point in the South Atlantic Ocean called Point Nemo, which is considered the most remote location on Earth, a technological graveyard.
NASA has announced that it will not create a replacement for the ISS. Instead, a new order is set to be established, in which private companies operate space stations. China’s Tiangong Space Station was launched in 2021, and it seems clear now that the future of space exploration lies in several stations, not one central hub like the ISS.
12. What is the current state of the International Space Station?
A. It lacks research fund.
B. It requires technological updates.
C. It is nearing the end of its service life.
D. It is experiencing a cycle of performance tests.
13. What concerns NASA and its partners on ISS decommissioning?
A. Pollution and dangers. B. Safety and expense.
C. Technology and cost. D. Responsibilities and risks.
14. What does the underlined word “incinerating” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Burning up. B. Crashing into. C. Cutting off. D. Sweeping away.
15. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. What’s Wrong with the Space Exploration?
B. What Challenges Does Space Exploration Face?
C. Where Will the International Space Station Land?
D. How Far Can the Tiangong Space Station Reach?
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍国际空间站服役多年逐渐老化落后,美国国家航空航天局及合作机构探讨其退役方案、坠落销毁的安全保障,同时介绍未来太空探索将告别单一空间站模式,转向私营空间站与多国空间站并存的新格局。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, after a quarter century in action, the ISS is wearing down. Life in orbit is very hard on the station, which causes more damage than anything on Earth. Not only that, but in a world where technological advancements are coming at a fast pace, the technology built into the ISS is becoming outdated.(然而,在运行了四分之一个世纪后,ISS正在磨损。轨道生活对空间站造成了极大的损耗,其损害程度远超地球上的任何事物。不仅如此,在技术飞速发展的当今世界,ISS搭载的技术也日渐过时。)”可知,国际空间站设备老化、技术过时,即将到达服役寿命终点。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One early idea was to move the ISS to even higher orbit, but that would be very risky because, without regular care, the station could break down and leave behind parts that could rain down on Earth, causing serious problems. They also considered taking apart the station in space and bringing it home piece by piece, but this process would be too expensive and difficult.(一个早期的想法是将ISS移至更高的轨道,但这非常危险,因为没有定期维护,空间站可能会解体,碎片可能坠落地球造成严重问题。他们还考虑过在太空中拆解空间站并将其分批运回地球,但这一过程过于昂贵且困难。)”可知,NASA及其合作机构在空间站退役问题上,主要顾虑安全风险与高昂成本。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Fortunately, Earth’s atmosphere will help to reduce the danger by incinerating a large part of the ISS as it goes downwards. This will happen because the speedy fall from space will create enough friction (摩擦力) between the station and the air to start a fire.(幸运的是,地球大气层将通过在ISS向下运行时incinerating其大部分来帮助降低危险。这种情况的发生因为从太空高速坠落会在空间站与空气间产生足够摩擦从而引发火灾。)”可知,大气层会通过燃烧销毁空间站大部分残骸,incinerating意为“烧毁、焚毁”,与Burning up意思相近。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇点明ISS即将退役,随后详细阐述了其磨损现状、退役方案的考量(安全性与经济性)、最终处理方式(坠入大气层,残骸落入尼莫点)以及未来太空探索的新格局。C选项“Where Will the International Space Station Land?(国际空间站将降落在何处?)”既涵盖了核心事件,又具有悬念,最能概括全文重点。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One winter day after school, Tim asked his mother to allow him to go out and play in the snow. “Sure, you can. Remember to put on your coat, your hat and your gloves,” his mother said. “You can build a snowman before your father comes home.”
“I’m going to need a carrot for the nose,” Tim said. “And I’ll need some things for the snowman’s hat and face.” Tim got a bucket (桶) and collected everything he needed to decorate his snowman. His mother promised she would watch him build the snowman from the window.
Outside, in his front yard, Tim started with a very small ball of snow. He got on his knees and rolled the snow into a big ball. At another window, someone else was watching Tim play. It was his new neighbour Jenny. Jenny asked her mother if she could go outside and join Tim in building his snowman. Jenny’s mother agreed and promised to watch her from the window. “You can play until your father comes home,” her mother said.
Jenny ran outside to Tim’s yard and asked if she could help him finish his snowman.
“Yes, please help me,” Tim said. “I have built my snowman’s body with two snowballs. I need to roll one more for my snowman’s head.”
“But snowmen only have two snowballs. One is for the body and the other one is for the head,” Jenny said.
“No, snowmen always have three snowballs,” Tim said. “I don’t think I need you to help me after all.”
Tim picked up some snow and made it into a small snowball. He got on his knees and rolled the snow away from Jenny to make the snowman’s head. Jenny walked back into her own yard and began to build her own snowman.
Tim made a hat for his snowman with his bucket. He used his mother’s buttons for the eyes and mouth. Lastly, he added a carrot for the snowman’s nose. Seeing his snowman, Tim was happy, but suddenly a terrible thing happened. The head fell off the snowman and crashed onto the ground! “Oh, no! My snowman fell apart,” Tim said, “and my father is almost home!”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

【答案】例文
Jenny heard Tim’s cry and ran over to his yard to see what the problem was. Seeing the broken snowman on the ground, she felt sorry for Tim and offered to help at once. “Don’t worry. We can make a new head together,” Jenny said gently. Tim nodded with a grateful smile. They rolled a firm round snowball quickly, lifted it onto the body carefully, and fixed the buttons and bucket back in place. Just as they finished, Tim’s father’s car appeared down the road. Tim sighed in relief and thanked Jenny sincerely for her timely help.
“You’re welcome... but my snowman still doesn’t have a nose,” Jenny said softly. Tim looked at her lovely snowman with big eyes and stick arms and immediately had an idea. He ran back, pulled the carrot out of his snowman’s nose, and cut it into two halves. He handed one half to Jenny, who put it on her snowman happily. The two snowmen stood next to each other like close friends. At that moment, Tim truly understood what a good neighbour was — sharing and caring, turning a cold winter day into one full of warmth and joy.
