Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.

A. observing her school routine

C. impressing her classmates

5. What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?
A. A dull night on the journey.
B. The beauty of the great valley.

7. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________.

Feeding birds is a popular way to watch wildlife.But experts say it might put wild birds at risk.
Feeding birds is not necessary for their survival except in extreme weather conditions.Feeders(喂食器)can definitely help birds get through that kind of weather.But most birds eat insects and show little interest in bird feeders.For those birds,we can grow native plants in a natural environment.Birds which are fond of eating seeds will be more likely to come to feeders if there is some cover nearby.This lets them feed and then fly to protective areas,such as in trees.
The most common mistake people make with their bird feeders is that they put feeders in places where birds are easily frightened by passers-by,risk being hurt by cats,or risk flying into windows.
So set up a bird feeder at least one meter away from a window.That way,if a bird gets frightened,it won’t get killed when it hits the glass.Owners of cats should keep them inside home so they can’t hurt the birds.
Some birds are more aggressive at feeders.They eat a lot and do not leave much food for other birds.A solution is to put the food in more than one place by using different kinds of seeds or fruits.This can also increase the number and diversity of birds in your neighborhood.But don’t feed wild birds anything salty,like potato chips,or food that could choke them,like bread.
Pay attention to food quality and freshness.Unprotected food left too long in feeders will turn moldy(发霉),which can kill wildlife.
Another word of advice:Always provide a supply of clean water for birds,but use care when looking for the right birdbath.If the birdbaths are too deep for birds,putting a few large stones in the water can give the birds a place to sit.
8. What’s the most common mistake about feeding birds?
A. Putting feeders in improper places. B. Providing food in inappropriate time.
C. Leaving feeders unprotected. D. Supplying dirty and deep water.
9. Which of the following may not be suitable for feeding birds?
A. Seeds. B. Bread. C. Fruit. D. Insects.
10. The author advises helping more birds by_________.
A. increasing the number of feeders
B. cleaning the birds with clean water
C. putting more large stones in the feeders
D. keeping aggressive birds away from the feeders
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Problems with bird feeding.
B. Where to place bird feeders.
C. Popular ways of protecting wild birds.
D. How to feed wild birds safely and healthily.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,人们在喂鸟的时候无意中会给鸟儿带来危险,文章具体解释了这些危险并提出了安全喂鸟的建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The most common mistake people make with their bird feeders is that they put feeders in places where birds are easily frightened by passers-by,risk being hurt by cats,or risk flying into windows.”可知人们在喂鸟的时候,最常见的错误是把喂鸟器放在错误的地方,这样给鸟儿带来了很多危险。故A项正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段最后一句“But don’t feed wild birds anything salty,like potato chips,or food that could choke them,like bread.”可知作者建议人们不要喂给鸟儿薯条和面包,因为这些食物不适合喂鸟。故B项正确。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段第三句“A solution is to put the food in more than one place by using different kinds of seeds or fruits.”可知作者建议我们把食物放在多个地方,并提供不同种类的食物。这样做,自然是要增加喂鸟器的数量。故A项正确。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Feeding birds is a popular way to watch wildlife. But experts say it might put wild birds at risk.”可知本文主要讲述的是喂鸟会给鸟儿带来一定的危险;第三段介绍了具体的危险,后四段里提出具体的安全喂鸟的建议。故D项“How to feed wild birds safely and healthily”符合本文中心思想,故选择D项。
D
Do you have a younger brother? Does he always get in trouble? Well, there might be some science behind that.
According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, second-borns are more likely than first-borns to behave badly, which could be why you from time to time consider your younger brother or sister sprites.
Researchers, who explored data from tens of thousands of sibling(兄弟姐妹) pairs from Denmark and Florida, found second-borns are 20% to 40% more likely to have behavioral problems. If you’re the second-born child you may want to have a little chat with your parents. The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than first-born is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.
“Second-born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings because first-born children experience their mother’s maternity leave (产假). First-borns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time with Mum following their birth, but the time Mum takes off with younger siblings, too.” the authors explain.
It’s not just about the parents, however. Speaking to NRP, co-author Joseph Doyle said, “The first-born has role models, who are adults. And the second, later-born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2-year-olds, you know, their older siblings. The difference of parental investments and the sibling influences probably contribute to these differences we see in the labor market and what we find in behaviors against regulations, even against laws. It’s just very difficult to separate those two things because they happen at the same time”
The results, the authors argue, have an important effect on social policy.
12. What does the underlined word “sprites” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Losers
B. Troublemakers
C. Close companions
D. Parents’ pets
13. According to the report, what influences the second-born children’s behavior?
A. Challenges of their elder siblings
B. The amount of attention they receive from parents
C. More family problems they are faced with
D. Fewer chances of talking with others
14. Joseph Doyle holds the opinion that the older siblings ______.
A. have the same role models as their younger ones
B. are not to blame for their younger siblings’ failure
C. are partly responsible for their younger siblings’ problems
D. affect the parental investment and the labor market participation
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Parents Prefer First-Born Kids
B. How Parents Improve Family Relationships
C. Social Policy Guides Family Education
D. Why the Second-Born Tend to be Misbehaved
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要根据麻省理工学院的一份报告分析了为什么二胎孩子通常表现不佳。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中second-borns are more likely than first-borns to behave badly老二比老大更有可能行为不端。可知,弟弟妹妹应该会带来麻烦事,因此猜测划线词sprites意为“麻烦制造者”。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than first-born is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.第二胎的兄弟姐妹比第一胎的表现更差的原因是父母往往不太关注他们。可知,二胎孩子从父母那里得到的关注度影响了他们的行为。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中The first-born has role models, who are adults. And the second, later-born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2-year-olds, you know, their older siblings. 第一个孩子有自己的榜样,他们都是成年人。第二代,也就是晚出生的孩子,他们的榜样是有点不理性的比他们大的2岁的孩子,你知道,就是他们的哥哥姐姐。由此判断出,约瑟夫·道尔认为,年长的兄弟姐妹对他们弟弟妹妹的问题负有部分责任。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中Do you have a younger brother? Does he always get in trouble? Well, there might be some science behind that. 你有弟弟吗?他总是惹麻烦吗?嗯,这背后可能有一些科学道理。以及第二段中According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, second-borns are more likely than first-borns to behave badly根据麻省理工学院的一份报告,老二比老大更有可能行为不端。可知,本文主要是根据报告分析了为什么二胎孩子表现不佳,因此本文的最佳标题是选项D“为什么第二胎的孩子会表现不佳”。故选D项。

45. showing
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了近年来中国将数字科技融入文化产业,博物馆借助新技术推动馆藏数字化,让文化遗产更贴近大众的相关内容。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:大数据和人工智能等数字工具为博物馆与公众互动创造了新的机遇。提示词opportunity是可数名词,此处表泛指多个机遇,空前没有限定词,因此用复数形式。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:传统展览正通过互动性强且视觉冲击力强的数字方式被重新诠释,尤其吸引年轻观众。根据上文的appeal可知,此处用介词to构成固定短语appeal to意为“对……有吸引力”。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:宫博物院拥有超过100万件艺术品,此前仅展出了其珍宝中的一小部分。修饰名词treasures需要用形容词性物主代词,it对应的形容词性物主代词是its,指代故宫的藏品。
【39题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意:在新冠疫情爆发期间,由于实地参观受到限制,博物馆加快了馆藏的数字化进程。主语physical visits和动词limit是被动关系,事件发生在过去,因此用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数名词,所以谓语动词为were limited。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。此处特指故宫馆藏的数字化工作,表特指用定冠词the。
【41题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:此后,人们便利用3D建模、云平台及其他技术在线重现了这座宫殿。此处用动词不定式作目的状语,说明使用技术的用途,be employed to do sth表示“被用来做某事”。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这些技术方案提升了公众对文化遗产的兴趣。修饰名词heritage需要用形容词,culture的形容词形式是cultural,意为“文化的”。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:数以百万计的游客现在可以在线参观博物馆,使世界各地的人们更容易接触历史。空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前文“游客在线探索博物馆”这件事,在从句中作主语,因此用关系代词which。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:通过文化与科技的结合,中国正以创新的方式激励年轻人欣赏传统艺术。定冠词the后需要接名词,combine是动词,其名词形式为combination,意为“结合”。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过这些努力,博物馆不仅在保护历史,还以富有创意的方式向公众进行教育,展示了数字化发展如何为文化瑰宝注入新的生命力。句子主语museums和动词show是逻辑上的主动关系,此处作伴随状语,因此用现在分词形式。

“Ka-boom!” Thunder resounded after lightning flashed across the sky. The rain poured down. I had to brave through the storm on the way home from school. I sighed. It just had to rain on the day I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thankfully, there was a taxi stand right ahead, where I could seek some shelter even for a brief moment. Before I could set off on the last part of my journey, I saw a familiar face approaching me with an umbrella. It was my brother coming to my rescue!
Holding the umbrella, we walked home, talking and laughing. Arriving home, we took off our shoes. Then I noticed my brother’s shoes were all wet, with water in them. These shoes were his favorite. He loved playing football very much. These shoes were especially suitable for playing football, so he wore them almost every day. Now they were worn out. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask parents to buy a new pair for you?”
He said, “I don’t want to be a burden(负担), so I haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Although these shoes are a bit old, I can put up with them. Please, my dear sister, don’t tell parents about it.” “You’re so nice. I won’t tell them. Let me dry your shoes first. Later I’ll make you some cookies. You can go to your room to do your homework.”
My heart ached for him. I knew how much he loved playing soccer and how important it was for him to have proper shoes to run and kick the ball. I remembered the kindness he had always shown me, and I knew I had to do something for him. As I promised, I didn’t mention it to my parents, but I knew what I would do next.

I secretly started to save up my pocket money.

On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I secretly started to save up my pocket money. I spent less on my school lunch and I didn’t buy any snacks. I even took on a small part-time job to earn extra cash. On weekends, when I usually went out with my friends having fun, I helped my neighbours look after their kids. I put the money they gave me in my piggy bank. Every day, I would take out the money and count it. Day by day, the amount grew larger and it was enough for a gift. And my brother’s birthday was drawing near.
On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. When he opened the box, his eyes widened in surprise and joy. He took the shoes, examining them carefully, and said, “I didn’t expect this. You’re the best sister ever!” I hugged him tightly, feeling warmth spreading all over. “You’re the best brother of mine. I’m just returning the kindness you’ve given me.” I replied. Our bond has grown stronger ever since. The shoes became a symbol of our love and support, a reminder that no matter what challenges we faced, we could count on each other to overcome them.

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.
4. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.
A. observing her school routine
B. expressing her satisfaction
C. impressing her classmates
D. preserving her history
5. What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?
A. A dull night on the journey.
B. The beauty of the great valley.
C. A striking quotation from a book.
D. Her concerns for future generations.
6. What does the author put in her diary now?
A. Notes and beautiful pictures.
B. Special thoughts and feelings.
C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.
D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.
7. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________.
A. to experience it
B. to live the present in the future
C. to make memories
D. to give accurate representations of it
C
Feeding birds is a popular way to watch wildlife.But experts say it might put wild birds at risk.
Feeding birds is not necessary for their survival except in extreme weather conditions.Feeders(喂食器)can definitely help birds get through that kind of weather.But most birds eat insects and show little interest in bird feeders.For those birds,we can grow native plants in a natural environment.Birds which are fond of eating seeds will be more likely to come to feeders if there is some cover nearby.This lets them feed and then fly to protective areas,such as in trees.
The most common mistake people make with their bird feeders is that they put feeders in places where birds are easily frightened by passers-by,risk being hurt by cats,or risk flying into windows.
So set up a bird feeder at least one meter away from a window.That way,if a bird gets frightened,it won’t get killed when it hits the glass.Owners of cats should keep them inside home so they can’t hurt the birds.
Some birds are more aggressive at feeders.They eat a lot and do not leave much food for other birds.A solution is to put the food in more than one place by using different kinds of seeds or fruits.This can also increase the number and diversity of birds in your neighborhood.But don’t feed wild birds anything salty,like potato chips,or food that could choke them,like bread.
Pay attention to food quality and freshness.Unprotected food left too long in feeders will turn moldy(发霉),which can kill wildlife.
Another word of advice:Always provide a supply of clean water for birds,but use care when looking for the right birdbath.If the birdbaths are too deep for birds,putting a few large stones in the water can give the birds a place to sit.
8. What’s the most common mistake about feeding birds?
A. Putting feeders in improper places. B. Providing food in inappropriate time.
C. Leaving feeders unprotected. D. Supplying dirty and deep water.
9. Which of the following may not be suitable for feeding birds?
A. Seeds. B. Bread. C. Fruit. D. Insects.
10. The author advises helping more birds by_________.
A. increasing the number of feeders
B. cleaning the birds with clean water
C. putting more large stones in the feeders
D. keeping aggressive birds away from the feeders
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Problems with bird feeding.
B. Where to place bird feeders.
C. Popular ways of protecting wild birds.
D. How to feed wild birds safely and healthily.
D
Do you have a younger brother? Does he always get in trouble? Well, there might be some science behind that.
According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, second-borns are more likely than first-borns to behave badly, which could be why you from time to time consider your younger brother or sister sprites.
Researchers, who explored data from tens of thousands of sibling(兄弟姐妹) pairs from Denmark and Florida, found second-borns are 20% to 40% more likely to have behavioral problems. If you’re the second-born child you may want to have a little chat with your parents. The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than first-born is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.
“Second-born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings because first-born children experience their mother’s maternity leave (产假). First-borns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time with Mum following their birth, but the time Mum takes off with younger siblings, too.” the authors explain.
It’s not just about the parents, however. Speaking to NRP, co-author Joseph Doyle said, “The first-born has role models, who are adults. And the second, later-born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2-year-olds, you know, their older siblings. The difference of parental investments and the sibling influences probably contribute to these differences we see in the labor market and what we find in behaviors against regulations, even against laws. It’s just very difficult to separate those two things because they happen at the same time”
The results, the authors argue, have an important effect on social policy.
12. What does the underlined word “sprites” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Losers
B. Troublemakers
C. Close companions
D. Parents’ pets
13. According to the report, what influences the second-born children’s behavior?
A. Challenges of their elder siblings
B. The amount of attention they receive from parents
C. More family problems they are faced with
D. Fewer chances of talking with others
14. Joseph Doyle holds the opinion that the older siblings ______.
A. have the same role models as their younger ones
B. are not to blame for their younger siblings’ failure
C. are partly responsible for their younger siblings’ problems
D. affect the parental investment and the labor market participation
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Parents Prefer First-Born Kids
B. How Parents Improve Family Relationships
C. Social Policy Guides Family Education
D. Why the Second-Born Tend to be Misbehaved

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。
“Ka-boom!” Thunder resounded after lightning flashed across the sky. The rain poured down. I had to brave through the storm on the way home from school. I sighed. It just had to rain on the day I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thankfully, there was a taxi stand right ahead, where I could seek some shelter even for a brief moment. Before I could set off on the last part of my journey, I saw a familiar face approaching me with an umbrella. It was my brother coming to my rescue!
Holding the umbrella, we walked home, talking and laughing. Arriving home, we took off our shoes. Then I noticed my brother’s shoes were all wet, with water in them. These shoes were his favorite. He loved playing football very much. These shoes were especially suitable for playing football, so he wore them almost every day. Now they were worn out. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask parents to buy a new pair for you?”
He said, “I don’t want to be a burden(负担), so I haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Although these shoes are a bit old, I can put up with them. Please, my dear sister, don’t tell parents about it.” “You’re so nice. I won’t tell them. Let me dry your shoes first. Later I’ll make you some cookies. You can go to your room to do your homework.”
My heart ached for him. I knew how much he loved playing soccer and how important it was for him to have proper shoes to run and kick the ball. I remembered the kindness he had always shown me, and I knew I had to do something for him. As I promised, I didn’t mention it to my parents, but I knew what I would do next.
