People write Chinese characters with a brush, which requires great patience and focus. I love it because it helps me relax and calm down when I am stressed. Also, practising calligraphy allows me to better understand Chinese culture and history. It is truly an art of the brush.

She is a master of Kunqu Opera, a traditional Chinese art form with a history of over 600 years. Wang started learning Kunqu when she was just 12 years old. The training was very strict. She had to get up at 5 a.m. every day to practise her voice and movements. "Kunqu is not just singing and dancing," Wang says. "It's a combination (结合) of literature, music, dance, and martial arts (武术). Every movement and every word has a deep meaning." For many years, Kunqu Opera was not very popular. Few young people were interested in it. Wang and other artists were worried that this beautiful art form might disappear. So, they decided to make some changes. They created new stories that young people could relate to (有共鸣) and used modern stage designs and lighting. Their hard work paid off. More and more young people began to watch and love Kunqu Opera. Wang has performed in many countries, sharing this Chinese treasure with the world. "I am proud to be a Kunqu artist," she says. "My dream is to let more people, both in China and abroad, understand and appreciate its beauty." 31. What can we learn about Kunqu Opera from the passage? A. It is a new art form in China. B.

For centuries, this has been a mystery for scientists. Some birds fly thousands of kilometres from their summer homes to their winter homes and back again every year. How do they know where to go? Recent studies have shown that many animals have a built-in compass (内置指南针). They can sense the Earth's magnetic field (磁场) and use it to navigate. For example, scientists have found tiny crystals (晶体) of a magnetic mineral (磁性矿物) called magnetite in the beaks (鸟喙) of some birds. These crystals may act like a compass needle, pointing the birds in the right direction. But the magnetic field is not the only tool animals use. Many birds also use the sun and the stars to guide them. During the day, they can tell direction by the position of the sun. At night, they use the patterns of the stars. Some animals, like sea turtles, may even use their sense of smell to find their way back to the beach where they were born. Understanding how animals navigate is not just interesting; it can also be useful for humans. By studying the amazing abilities of animals, scientists hope to develop better navigation systems for ships and planes. The natural world still holds many secrets, and animals are some of its best teachers. 34. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To describe the beauty of bird migrations. B. To introduce the mystery of animal navigation. C. To explain why birds migrate every year. D. To show how far birds can fly. 35. According to the passage, how might some birds sense the Earth's magnetic field? A. Through the tiny crystals in their beaks. B. Through the patterns of the stars. C. Through the position of the sun. D. Through their sense of smell. 36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a tool for animal navigation? A. The Earth's magnetic field. B. The sun and the stars. C. The sense of smell. D. The sound of the ocean. 37. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Animals are smarter than humans. B. Animal navigation is a completely solved mystery. C. Studying animals can help improve human technology. D. Ships and planes already use the same systems as animals. 【答案】34.B 35.A 36.D 37.C 【解析】说明文。文章围绕动物长途迁徙如何辨别方向展开，介绍动物依靠地磁场、日月星辰、嗅觉等多种方式导航，并且研究动物的导航能力有助于人类研发更先进的导航设备。 34.段落作用题 第一段提出疑问：动物长途迁徙如何认路，引出动物导航这一未解谜团，故选 B。 35.细节理解题 根据第二段，部分鸟类鸟喙内含有磁性矿物小晶体，帮助感知地磁场，故选 A。 36.细节理解题 文中提到导航方式：地磁场、日月星辰、嗅觉，没有提及海洋的声音，故选 D。 37.推理判断题 由最后一段可知，研究动物有助于科学家研发更好的船舶、飞机导航系统，即研究动物能够推动人类技术发展，故选 C。 第ⅠI卷 非选择题（满分50分） 四、词汇运用。(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) A. 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

B Last summer, I decided to learn how to play the guitar. I had always loved music, but I had never tried to play an instrument before. At first, it was really hard. My fingers hurt, and I couldn't make a clear sound. I felt like giving up many times. However, my music teacher, Mr. Li, was very patient. He told me that everyone finds it difficult at the beginning. He taught me some simple songs and encouraged me to practise for at least 30 minutes every day. Slowly, I started to see some progress. I could play a few songs, and my fingers didn't hurt as much. The feeling of finally being able to play a song I liked was amazing. It made all the hard work worth it. Now, playing the guitar is my favourite way to relax. When I feel stressed from schoolwork, I pick up my guitar and play. The music helps me forget my worries and feel happy again. Learning the guitar has taught me that with patience and practice, I can overcome any difficulty. 28. Why did the writer want to learn to play the guitar? A. Because his friends could play it. B.

She is a master of Kunqu Opera, a traditional Chinese art form with a history of over 600 years. Wang started learning Kunqu when she was just 12 years old. The training was very strict. She had to get up at 5 a.m. every day to practise her voice and movements. "Kunqu is not just singing and dancing," Wang says. "It's a combination (结合) of literature, music, dance, and martial arts (武术). Every movement and every word has a deep meaning." For many years, Kunqu Opera was not very popular. Few young people were interested in it. Wang and other artists were worried that this beautiful art form might disappear. So, they decided to make some changes. They created new stories that young people could relate to (有共鸣) and used modern stage designs and lighting. Their hard work paid off. More and more young people began to watch and love Kunqu Opera. Wang has performed in many countries, sharing this Chinese treasure with the world. "I am proud to be a Kunqu artist," she says. "My dream is to let more people, both in China and abroad, understand and appreciate its beauty." 31. What can we learn about Kunqu Opera from the passage? A. It is a new art form in China. B. It only includes singing and dancing. C. It has a history of over 600 years. D. It was created by Wang Fang. 32. Why did Wang Fang and other artists make changes to Kunqu Opera? A.

A. 取得成功 B. 付出代价 C. 还清债务 D. 得到回报 D Have you ever wondered how animals find their way during long migrations (迁徙)? For centuries, this has been a mystery for scientists. Some birds fly thousands of kilometres from their summer homes to their winter homes and back again every year. How do they know where to go? Recent studies have shown that many animals have a built-in compass (内置指南针). They can sense the Earth's magnetic field (磁场) and use it to navigate. For example, scientists have found tiny crystals (晶体) of a magnetic mineral (磁性矿物) called magnetite in the beaks (鸟喙) of some birds. These crystals may act like a compass needle, pointing the birds in the right direction. But the magnetic field is not the only tool animals use. Many birds also use the sun and the stars to guide them. During the day, they can tell direction by the position of the sun. At night, they use the patterns of the stars. Some animals, like sea turtles, may even use their sense of smell to find their way back to the beach where they were born. Understanding how animals navigate is not just interesting; it can also be useful for humans. By studying the amazing abilities of animals, scientists hope to develop better navigation systems for ships and planes. The natural world still holds many secrets, and animals are some of its best teachers. 34. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To describe the beauty of bird migrations. B. To introduce the mystery of animal navigation. C. To explain why birds migrate every year. D. To show how far birds can fly. 35. According to the passage, how might some birds sense the Earth's magnetic field? A. Through the tiny crystals in their beaks. B. Through the patterns of the stars. C. Through the position of the sun. D. Through their sense of smell. 36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a tool for animal navigation? A. The Earth's magnetic field. B. The sun and the stars. C. The sense of smell. D. The sound of the ocean. 37. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Animals are smarter than humans. B. Animal navigation is a completely solved mystery. C. Studying animals can help improve human technology. D. Ships and planes already use the same systems as animals. 第ⅠI卷 非选择题（满分50分） 四、词汇运用。(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) A. 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

Like many teenagers, he spends a lot of time on his phone and computer. But last year, his life changed when he started gardening on his small balcony (阳台). It all began when his grandmother gave him a small tomato plant. Tom didn't know much about plants, but he decided to give it a try. He found a pot, filled it with soil, and planted the little tomato plant. Every day, he watered it and watched it grow. He was so excited when he saw the first small, green tomato appear. Encouraged by his success, Tom started to plant other things, like herbs (香草) and flowers. He learned how to take care of them by reading books and watching videos online. He found that gardening was not just about growing plants; it was also a great way to relax. When he was working in his little garden, he could forget about the stress from school. Now, Tom's balcony is full of different plants. He even shares his home-grown herbs with his neighbours. "Gardening has taught me to be patient and responsible," Tom says. "It's amazing to see something grow because of your hard work. It brings me a lot of joy." 58. Where did Tom start his gardening? 59. Who gave Tom the first plant? 60.

Like many teenagers, he spends a lot of time on his phone and computer. But last year, his life changed when he started gardening on his small balcony (阳台). It all began when his grandmother gave him a small tomato plant. Tom didn't know much about plants, but he decided to give it a try. He found a pot, filled it with soil, and planted the little tomato plant. Every day, he watered it and watched it grow. He was so excited when he saw the first small, green tomato appear. Encouraged by his success, Tom started to plant other things, like herbs (香草) and flowers. He learned how to take care of them by reading books and watching videos online. He found that gardening was not just about growing plants; it was also a great way to relax. When he was working in his little garden, he could forget about the stress from school. Now, Tom's balcony is full of different plants. He even shares his home-grown herbs with his neighbours. "Gardening has taught me to be patient and responsible," Tom says. "It's amazing to see something grow because of your hard work. It brings me a lot of joy." 58. Where did Tom start his gardening? 59. Who gave Tom the first plant? 60. How did Tom learn to take care of his plants? 61. What else did Tom find gardening could help him do? 62. What has gardening taught Tom? 七、书面表达。(共20分) 假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Mike对中国传统文化很感兴趣。他来信询问你最喜欢的中国传统艺术形式。请你根据以下要点，给他写一封回信。 要点： 你最喜欢的传统艺术形式是什么（如：书法、国画、剪纸、京剧等）； 简要介绍这种艺术形式（如：历史、工具、特点等）； 你喜欢它的原因（如：让你放松、了解文化、培养耐心等）。 要求： 词数80左右； 内容须包括所有要点，可适当发挥，使文章连贯； 文中不得出现真实的人名、校名等信息。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
