It happens when a part of a song—maybe from a video or a store—gets stuck in your brain like glue. Why does this happen? Your brain loves things that are easy to remember and repeat. Songs with simple music, catchy rhythms, and repeating lyrics are like little brain snacks—they’re quick to catch and difficult to let go. If you only heard a snippet, your brain might play it again and again like a broken record, trying to “finish” singing the song even if you don’t want it to. This uninvited song loves to visit when you are not busy. It comes during a boring lesson, when you walk home, or when you try to sleep. Suddenly, a music show starts inside your mind. Mostly you can’t help humming (哼唱) it out loud and you cannot stop it! Sometimes you feel like saying to yourself: “Be quiet, you fool”. Want it to go away? Here are some easy ideas. Sometimes, listening to the whole song from start to finish can help—this makes your brain feel that the tune is finished, so it stops repeating. Or, quickly change to a song you really love, one that’s so enjoyable that it can push the earworm out. The best way, though, is to do something that needs all your attention: work on your homework problem, have a lively chat with a friend, or even draw a detailed picture. This fills your brain with new, enjoyable thoughts, leaving no room for the unwanted song. Don’t feel bad if this happens. It does not mean you like the song. It just means your brain is active and having fun. If nothing works, just sing along. Sometimes, that is the fastest way to make it leave. 21. What is an “earworm” according to the passage? A. A kind of small worm that likes music. B. A video that has beautiful pictures. C. A snack that is good for your brain. D. A song that stays in your head without permission. 22. Which can be used to replace the underlined words “a snippet”? A. A whole song. B. A funny problem. C. A small piece of music. D. An interesting video. 23. Why do some songs easily become earworms? A. They are easy to remember and repeat. B. They are from popular videos or stores. C. They are songs that people don’t like at all. D. They are very long and hard to remember. 24. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. We can’t stop an “earworm”. B. An “earworm” means you like the song. C. An “earworm” will come when we are busy. D. Listening to the whole song may stop an “earworm”. 25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Earworms: My Favorite Songs B. Earworms: Songs Stuck in Your Head C. The Correct Way to Listen to Music D. The Magic of the Human Brain C It was the big school charity sale day, and Grace felt anxious, twisting her hands nervously. She stayed up late baking chocolate cupcakes, but the oven was too hot — some burnt on the bottom, others sank in the middle. Worse, she added too much chocolate, making it an unpleasant dark brown. “They look awful!” she looked at her “products”. Her best friend Mia tried to cheer her up: “Don’t be sad. Maybe someone will buy them.” But Grace shook her head. Finding out other stalls with perfect pink macarons, golden cookies, and rainbow cakes, she was sure no one would want her ugly ones. When the sale started, students walked by, only having a look before leaving; some even snickered. Grace’s face felt hot with embarrassment, and she wanted to hide the plate. Just then, creative classmate Daniel stopped. He leaned in, looked at the cupcakes excitedly, and said: “These aren’t ruined! We’ll call them ‘Adventure Cupcakes’!” He pointed to a burnt one: “It’s a chocolate volcano! This sunken one is a hidden treasure — sweet jam inside!” He grabbed a marker and a piece of cardboard, writing down: “Adventure Cupcakes — Special & Fun! Charity!” Then he called out loudly to the students walking nearby. To Grace’s surprise, students came over at once, interested in the special cupcakes. “I want one!” “Me too!” Soon a small line formed, and even teachers stopped by to buy them. Before long, the plate was completely empty. Counting her money, Grace was happy to find she’d made more than Mia with her perfect macarons. “Thank you, Daniel. You turned my bad cupcakes into something everyone loved.” Daniel smiled: “Mistakes aren’t always bad. Sometimes you just need a different way of looking at things— people love special, different things; perfect can be boring!” Grace nodded, learning an important lesson: when things go wrong, don’t give up. Creativity and positivity can turn “ugly” mistakes into happy surprises. 26. What did Grace make for the sale? A. Cookies B. Macarons C. Cupcakes D. Chocolate 27. Look at the mind map. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. Students snickered, Happy B. Daniel stopped, Awful C. Calling out loudly, Tired D. Staying up late, Nervous 28. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Grace put treasures in her cakes. B. Teachers didn’t like the cakes. C. Grace made less money than Mia in the end. D. Daniel gave a new name to Grace’s cakes. 29. Which of the following can best describe Daniel? A. Creative and helpful. B. Kind and honest. C. Strict and friendly. D. Quiet and hard-working. 30. What lesson did Grace learn from the experience? A. It’s easy to bake perfect cupcakes if you are careful. B. When things go wrong, don’t give up easily. C. Charity sales are not fun for students. D. Perfect things are always the most popular. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余） We all know banks where we keep our money. But have you ever heard of a “Food Bank”? In Futian District, Shenzhen, you can see smart boxes that look like package lockers. They give free, fresh food to people in need day and night. ____31____ It is teamwork with the government, companies and social groups. Up to now, 22 smart boxes on 10 streets of Futian are full of different safe foods. Just like a usual bank, this system uses “deposits (存放)” and “withdrawals (提取)”. The “deposits” come from 87 partner companies. ____32____ A warm example is the “veteran steamed buns”—a retired soldier used his pension money to make them by hand. These buns are now loved by local people. ____33____ Instead of letting the donors take the food back, it is given to people who need help. First, before 8 p.m., low-income families, disabled people and street cleaners can get the food through the “i Shenzhen” App. To waste less food, any food left after 8 p.m. is open to all people. ____34____ The food bank has strict rules: the boxes stay cool, we know where all the food comes from, and workers check the boxes regularly. ____35____ It has saved 195 tons of food from being thrown away, and cut carbon emissions by 390 tons. These food banks do more than give food—they build a warm community and help protect the environment. They are a great example of Shenzhen’s creative and kind city care. A. This project started in May 2022. B. Safety is the most important thing here. C. People usually get the same food every day. D. However, the “withdrawals” work in a different way. E. They give away extra food or food that will go bad soon. F. By December 2025, this project had helped 484,000 people. 三、短文填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。 story create same and modern if however different talk by “Look in my eyes.

These videos have become popular, showing these ancient people speaking in ____37____ language. In one video, Du Fu ____38____ about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles, like trying to be healthy ____39____ drinking goji (枸杞) berry water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people.

If you open it to the page about the Ming Dynasty, you might see a big surprise. There is a picture of the famous Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. But wait! He looks very different from before. In the past, students saw a strange picture of him. In that old picture, his face was very long, and his chin (下巴) looked like a “shoehorn.” He looked a little scary and ugly. Many students remembered him because of this funny face. However, the new textbooks are different. Now, the Emperor looks like a handsome, middle-aged man. He has a normal face and looks very serious and calm. This is not a mistake. This is actually the “real” picture of the Emperor. This painting comes from the Palace Museum, where they keep important things from the past. So, why did we have two different pictures? Why was the old one so strange? The answer is an interesting story about power. Long ago, dragons were regarded as powerful gods, and a “dragon face” (high forehead, long chin) was considered special. To make people see his father as godlike and respect his power, the emperor’s son, Zhu Di had artists paint the emperor with a dragon face — a made-up legend to help the family rule the country. For a long time, people believed the legend. But today, historians want to show us the truth. It is great to see the real man behind the stories. Now, when we look at our history books, we can learn the facts, not just the legends. 46. Fill in the blanks according to the passage. In the old picture The face was long with a strange chin The Emperor looked ________. （不超过5词） In the new textbooks The Emperor looks like ________.（不超过5词） The Emperor looks very serious and calm. 47. Zhu Di made his father’s face special because it could ______________________________.（不超过10词） 48. Historians use the “real” picture of the Emperor to __________________________________.（不超过5词） 49.
