In her 3 , she once faced hunger and hard conditions, but she never dropped out of her research. She kept scientific exploration all her life. Newton, one of the British pioneers, lived in a special 4 hundreds of years ago. He made great discoveries about the universe. Many people wonder 5 he could achieve so much. Above all, he kept exploring day and night. In ancient China, during the Warring States Period (BCE), Confucius, a great thinker, spread his ideas across the nation.

While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we seldom notice that creative thinking is in fact a process. Let’s look at what happened in 1666. Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it “gravity”. This story has become one of the most popular examples of “eureka” moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, the whole process of creative thinking shouldn’t be forgotten. Newton studied math for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years. Newton began to examine “gravity” carefully. He experimented (实验). Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever written came out. The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our life. In school, we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest. 11．What does the underlined word “eureka” in Paragraph 4 most likely mean? A．A difficult problem. B．A sudden discovery or realization. C．A long process of thinking. D．A scientific experiment. 12．Which of the following best describes Newton’s discovery of gravity? A．He never proved his idea about gravity. B．He discovered it immediately after seeing the apple fall. C．He wrote his famous book the same year the apple fell. D．He studied and experimented for many years before fully understanding it. 13．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．School education is the key to success. B．Only scientists can make great discoveries. C．Creative thinking requires preparation and long-term effort. D．Waiting for inspiration is the best way to succeed. 14．How does the writer explain Newton’s creative thinking process? A．By comparing it with other scientists’ work. B．By listing different scientific theories. C．By describing Newton’s experiments step by step. D．By telling the story of the apple and Newton’s later work. 15．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Isaac Newton was the greatest scientist in history. B．Creative thinking is a process, not just a sudden idea. C．Gravity was discovered by watching an apple fall. D．Hard work is more important than inspiration. B In recent years, China has introduced unusual inventions that are changing daily life and catching global attention. These inventions, often called the “New Four Great Inventions,” include high-speed rail, mobile payment, shared bikes, and online shopping. Unlike the ancient four great inventions—papermaking, printing, the compass, and gunpowder—these modern wonders connect closely to digital (数字的) technology and convenience. High-speed rail networks have completely changed travel within China. These trains glide (滑行) smoothly at speeds over 300 kilometers per hour, making long journeys between cities surprisingly fast and comfortable. They have become a symbol of China’s engineering progress and a preferred way of transport for millions of passengers each day. Mobile payment platforms allow people to pay for almost anything using just their smartphones. By scanning (扫描) a simple QR code in shops, restaurants, or even street vendors (小贩) , transactions (交易) are completed in seconds. This technology has made carrying cash almost unnecessary, offering great convenience and reducing the risk of loss. Shared bikes, easily unlocked with a mobile app, provide a simple solution for short trips. They help reduce traffic jams and are an environmentally friendly choice. Similarly, online shopping has changed how people buy goods, offering endless choices sent directly to one’s doorstep, often within days or even hours. These new inventions show that China is changing. It used to make traditional things, but now it is leading in making high-tech solutions. These solutions can solve real problems in our lives. They show how technology can make life simple, save time, and connect people to services more efficiently. 16．What is the main purpose (目的) of the article? A．To explain the history of China’s ancient inventions. B．To compare high-speed trains with shared bikes. C．To argue that mobile payment is the most important invention. D．To describe how China’s latest inventions are influencing modern life. 17．Why does the writer mention ancient inventions in the first paragraph? A．To give a history lesson. B．To explain how the compass was used. C．To show that modern inventions are less important. D．To show that the new inventions are different but equally important. 18．According to the passage, what is a major advantage (优点) of mobile payment? A．It requires carrying a lot of cash. B．It makes transactions fast and convenient. C．It can only be used in large shopping malls. D．It is slower than traditional payment methods. 19．Which invention is specifically mentioned as helping to reduce traffic and be eco-friendly? A．High-speed rail. B．Online shopping. C．Shared bikes. D．Mobile payment. 20．What can be inferred (推断) about these new inventions from the passage? A．They are only popular in China. B．They depend heavily on digital technology and practical applications. C．They are not useful for everyday life. D．They are more important than the ancient inventions. C Have you ever wondered why some people are better at maths while others are better at art? The answer might lie in how your brain works. Your brain has two halves, called hemispheres (半球), and each one has its own special jobs to do. The left hemisphere is like a logical (有逻辑的) thinker. It helps you with language, reading, and writing. When you solve maths problems or follow step-by-step instructions, your left brain is working hard. It also controls the right side of your body. It loves order and details (细节). The right hemisphere is more creative. It helps you understand music, remember faces, and enjoy art. When you imagine a beautiful sunset or feel emotions (情绪) from a song, your right brain is active. It controls the left side of your body and is better at seeing the “big picture” rather than small details. However, here’s an interesting fact: the “left brain vs right brain” idea is often misunderstood. While it’s true that each hemisphere has its advantages, they actually work together most of the time. For example, when you read a story, your left brain deals with the words, but your right brain helps you understand the emotions and pictures. Recent research shows that successful people use both hemispheres well. A great musician needs the right brain for creativity and the left brain to read musical notes. A scientist needs the left brain for logic and the right brain for creative thinking. So, don’t hold yourself back by thinking you’re only “left-brained” or “right-brained”. Your brain is an amazing team player, and both sides work together to make you gifted! 21．What does the left hemisphere help you with? A．Remembering faces. B．Seeing the big picture. C．Understanding music and art. D．Using language and reading. 22．Lily is good at drawing and always sees the whole plan first. Which is true about her? A．Her right brain is good at details. B．Her left brain controls her left side. C．Her left brain is active when she draws. D．Her right brain helps her see the whole plan. 23．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How the two brain hemispheres work together. B．Why the left brain is better than the right brain. C．What the right brain does to control our body parts. D．How the left brain works alone when we read stories. 24．How does the writer support the idea in Paragraph 5? A．By telling a moving story of a musician. B．By showing numbers from recent research. C．By comparing different kinds of brain roles. D．By giving two examples of successful people. 25．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To tell readers how to be good at maths and art. B．To show the importance of being a creative thinker. C．To encourage readers to use both brain hemispheres well. D．To explain why people are only left-brained or right-brained. 第二节 阅读还原 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Have you ever faced a problem that seemed too difficult to solve? Problem-solving ability is a very important skill in our daily life. It helps us to face challenges and find solutions (解决措施) to different problems. Whether at school, at work, or at home, we often meet situations that require us to think carefully and make decisions. 26 To improve problem-solving ability, we can follow a few simple steps. 27 This means asking questions like “What is the problem?” and “Why did it happen?”. Once we know the problem, we can start thinking of possible solutions. Sometimes, there are many ways to solve a problem, so it’s important to consider all choices. After that, we should choose the best solution and take action. Finally, we need to check if the solution works. If it doesn’t, we can try another way. Problem-solving also requires patience and creativity. 28 Instead, we should think outside the box and try new ways. For example, if a door is stuck, instead of pushing harder, we can try to find out why it’s stuck and fix the problem. 29 We don’t have to begin with big problems. We can start with small problems and gradually take on bigger challenges. Over time, we will become more confident and skilled at finding solutions. In conclusion, problem-solving ability is a skill that can be learned and improved through practice. 30 By staying calm, thinking creatively, and following the steps, we can become better problem solvers in life. A．But how can we improve this skill? B．What is the problem-solving ability? C．First, we need to understand the problem clearly. D．It helps us overcome difficulties and achieve our goals. E．Practicing problem-solving more often can make us better at it. F．Sometimes the first idea doesn’t work, but we shouldn’t give up. 第三节 信息匹配 （共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 下面的材料A~F分别介绍了不同的人物或作家，请根据对Jim，Tom，Lily，Tony和Lucy的描述，匹配与他们最合适的内容。 31 Next term Jim will go to America to study.

While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we seldom notice that creative thinking is in fact a process. Let’s look at what happened in 1666. Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree.

A．A difficult problem. B．A sudden discovery or realization. C．A long process of thinking. D．A scientific experiment. 12．Which of the following best describes Newton’s discovery of gravity? A．He never proved his idea about gravity. B．He discovered it immediately after seeing the apple fall. C．He wrote his famous book the same year the apple fell. D．He studied and experimented for many years before fully understanding it. 13．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．School education is the key to success.

A．Isaac Newton was the greatest scientist in history. B．Creative thinking is a process, not just a sudden idea. C．Gravity was discovered by watching an apple fall. D．Hard work is more important than inspiration. 【答案】11．B 12．D 13．C 14．D 15．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过牛顿发现万有引力的故事，阐述了创造性思维是一个过程，而非仅仅是灵光一闪。 【详解】11．词句猜测题。根据“Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it ‘gravity’.”可知，前文牛顿看到苹果落地后开始思考，进而有了关于引力的发现，这种突然的灵感和发现符合“eureka”时刻的描述。故选B。 12．细节理解题。根据“Newton studied math for long ... He experimented (实验). Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments.”可知，牛顿经过多年学习和实验才充分理解引力。故选D。 13．主旨大意题。根据“In school, we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we catch it and then keep on working in the years to come.”可知，最后一段提到在学校要为合适时刻做准备，时刻到来时抓住它并持续努力，说明创造性思维需要准备和长期努力。故选C。 14．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者介绍了牛顿看到苹果落地的故事以及他后续的研究工作来解释其创造性思维过程，因此“By telling the story of the apple and Newton’s later work.”符合要求，故选D。 15．主旨大意题。根据“we seldom notice that creative thinking is in fact a process.”和文章主要内容可知，本文主要强调创造性思维是一个过程，不只是突然的想法。因此“Creative thinking is a process, not just a sudden idea.”符合主旨，故选B。 B In recent years, China has introduced unusual inventions that are changing daily life and catching global attention.

The answer might lie in how your brain works. Your brain has two halves, called hemispheres (半球), and each one has its own special jobs to do. The left hemisphere is like a logical (有逻辑的) thinker. It helps you with language, reading, and writing. When you solve maths problems or follow step-by-step instructions, your left brain is working hard. It also controls the right side of your body. It loves order and details (细节). The right hemisphere is more creative. It helps you understand music, remember faces, and enjoy art. When you imagine a beautiful sunset or feel emotions (情绪) from a song, your right brain is active. It controls the left side of your body and is better at seeing the “big picture” rather than small details. However, here’s an interesting fact: the “left brain vs right brain” idea is often misunderstood. While it’s true that each hemisphere has its advantages, they actually work together most of the time. For example, when you read a story, your left brain deals with the words, but your right brain helps you understand the emotions and pictures. Recent research shows that successful people use both hemispheres well. A great musician needs the right brain for creativity and the left brain to read musical notes. A scientist needs the left brain for logic and the right brain for creative thinking. So, don’t hold yourself back by thinking you’re only “left-brained” or “right-brained”. Your brain is an amazing team player, and both sides work together to make you gifted! 21．What does the left hemisphere help you with? A．Remembering faces. B．Seeing the big picture. C．Understanding music and art. D．Using language and reading. 22．Lily is good at drawing and always sees the whole plan first. Which is true about her? A．Her right brain is good at details. B．Her left brain controls her left side. C．Her left brain is active when she draws. D．Her right brain helps her see the whole plan. 23．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How the two brain hemispheres work together. B．Why the left brain is better than the right brain. C．What the right brain does to control our body parts. D．How the left brain works alone when we read stories. 24．How does the writer support the idea in Paragraph 5? A．By telling a moving story of a musician. B．By showing numbers from recent research. C．By comparing different kinds of brain roles. D．By giving two examples of successful people. 25．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To tell readers how to be good at maths and art. B．To show the importance of being a creative thinker. C．To encourage readers to use both brain hemispheres well. D．To explain why people are only left-brained or right-brained. 【答案】21．D 22．D 23．A 24．D 25．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍大脑分为左、右两个半球，分别具备逻辑与创造性功能，纠正左右脑独立工作的误区，说明成功人士都会均衡使用两侧大脑，呼吁人们充分运用左右脑。 【详解】21．第二段“The left hemisphere is like a logical thinker. It helps you with language, reading, and writing.”说明左脑负责语言和阅读。 22．第三段“The right hemisphere is more creative…It controls the left side of your body and is better at seeing the ‘big picture’ rather than small details.”Lily擅长画画、擅长看整体规划，对应右脑功能。 23．第四段“While it’s true that each hemisphere has its advantages, they actually work together most of the time. For example, when you read a story, your left brain deals with the words, but your right brain helps you understand the emotions and pictures.”本段核心是左右脑协同工作。 24．第五段“A great musician needs the right brain for creativity and the left brain to read musical notes. A scientist needs the left brain for logic and the right brain for creative thinking”作者列举音乐家、科学家两类成功人士举例论证成功人士都擅长同时使用左右脑。 25．最后一段“So, don’t hold yourself back by thinking you’re only ‘left-brained’ or ‘right-brained’. Your brain is an amazing team player, and both sides work together to make you gifted!”点明作者写作目的是鼓励读者均衡用好左右脑。 第二节 阅读还原 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Have you ever faced a problem that seemed too difficult to solve? Problem-solving ability is a very important skill in our daily life. It helps us to face challenges and find solutions (解决措施) to different problems. Whether at school, at work, or at home, we often meet situations that require us to think carefully and make decisions. 26 To improve problem-solving ability, we can follow a few simple steps. 27 This means asking questions like “What is the problem?” and “Why did it happen?”. Once we know the problem, we can start thinking of possible solutions. Sometimes, there are many ways to solve a problem, so it’s important to consider all choices. After that, we should choose the best solution and take action. Finally, we need to check if the solution works. If it doesn’t, we can try another way. Problem-solving also requires patience and creativity. 28 Instead, we should think outside the box and try new ways. For example, if a door is stuck, instead of pushing harder, we can try to find out why it’s stuck and fix the problem. 29 We don’t have to begin with big problems. We can start with small problems and gradually take on bigger challenges. Over time, we will become more confident and skilled at finding solutions. In conclusion, problem-solving ability is a skill that can be learned and improved through practice. 30 By staying calm, thinking creatively, and following the steps, we can become better problem solvers in life. A．But how can we improve this skill? B．What is the problem-solving ability? C．First, we need to understand the problem clearly. D．It helps us overcome difficulties and achieve our goals. E．Practicing problem-solving more often can make us better at it. F．Sometimes the first idea doesn’t work, but we shouldn’t give up. 【答案】26．A 27．C 28．F 29．E 30．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了解决问题能力的重要性，从提升步骤、所需品质和练习方法等方面，说明如何通过实践提高解决问题的能力。 【详解】26．前文提到“解决问题的能力是日常生活中一项非常重要的技能，它帮助我们面对挑战、找到不同问题的解决方案。无论是在学校、工作中还是家里，我们经常遇到需要仔细思考和做决定的情况”，后文引出下文的提升方法。A项“But how can we improve this skill?”承接前文，以提问方式自然过渡到下文的提升方法，符合语境。 27．前文提到“要提高解决问题的能力，我们可以遵循几个简单的步骤”，后文说明“这意味着问‘问题是什么？’和‘它为什么会发生？’这样的问题”。C项“First, we need to understand the problem clearly.”承接前文的“简单步骤”，引出第一步“清晰理解问题”，与后文举例呼应，逻辑连贯。 28．前文提到“解决问题也需要耐心和创造力”，后文说明“相反，我们应该跳出固有思维，尝试新方法”。F项“Sometimes the first idea doesn’t work, but we shouldn’t give up.”承接前文的“耐心和创造力”，说明即使第一个想法行不通也不要放弃，为后文“尝试新方法”做铺垫，符合语境。 29．后文提到“我们不必从大问题开始，可以从小问题入手，逐步应对更大的挑战，久而久之，我们会更有信心，也更擅长找到解决方案”。E项“Practicing problem-solving more often can make us better at it.”作为段落总起句，引出后文“从小问题练习、逐步提升” 的建议，衔接自然。 30．前文提到“总之，解决问题的能力是一项可以通过学习和实践提高的技能”，后文说明“通过保持冷静、创造性思考和遵循步骤，我们可以成为更好的问题解决者”。D项“It helps us overcome difficulties and achieve our goals.”承接前文的总结，再次点明解决问题能力的价值，与后文的提升方法呼应，收束全文。 第三节 信息匹配 （共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 下面的材料A~F分别介绍了不同的人物或作家，请根据对Jim，Tom，Lily，Tony和Lucy的描述，匹配与他们最合适的内容。 31 Next term Jim will go to America to study.

While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we seldom notice that creative thinking is in fact a process. Let’s look at what happened in 1666. Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it “gravity”. This story has become one of the most popular examples of “eureka” moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, the whole process of creative thinking shouldn’t be forgotten. Newton studied math for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years. Newton began to examine “gravity” carefully. He experimented (实验). Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever written came out. The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our life. In school, we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest. 11．What does the underlined word “eureka” in Paragraph 4 most likely mean? A．A difficult problem. B．A sudden discovery or realization. C．A long process of thinking. D．A scientific experiment. 12．Which of the following best describes Newton’s discovery of gravity? A．He never proved his idea about gravity. B．He discovered it immediately after seeing the apple fall. C．He wrote his famous book the same year the apple fell. D．He studied and experimented for many years before fully understanding it. 13．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．School education is the key to success. B．Only scientists can make great discoveries. C．Creative thinking requires preparation and long-term effort. D．Waiting for inspiration is the best way to succeed. 14．How does the writer explain Newton’s creative thinking process? A．By comparing it with other scientists’ work. B．By listing different scientific theories. C．By describing Newton’s experiments step by step. D．By telling the story of the apple and Newton’s later work. 15．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Isaac Newton was the greatest scientist in history. B．Creative thinking is a process, not just a sudden idea. C．Gravity was discovered by watching an apple fall. D．Hard work is more important than inspiration. B In recent years, China has introduced unusual inventions that are changing daily life and catching global attention. These inventions, often called the “New Four Great Inventions,” include high-speed rail, mobile payment, shared bikes, and online shopping. Unlike the ancient four great inventions—papermaking, printing, the compass, and gunpowder—these modern wonders connect closely to digital (数字的) technology and convenience. High-speed rail networks have completely changed travel within China. These trains glide (滑行) smoothly at speeds over 300 kilometers per hour, making long journeys between cities surprisingly fast and comfortable. They have become a symbol of China’s engineering progress and a preferred way of transport for millions of passengers each day. Mobile payment platforms allow people to pay for almost anything using just their smartphones. By scanning (扫描) a simple QR code in shops, restaurants, or even street vendors (小贩) , transactions (交易) are completed in seconds. This technology has made carrying cash almost unnecessary, offering great convenience and reducing the risk of loss. Shared bikes, easily unlocked with a mobile app, provide a simple solution for short trips. They help reduce traffic jams and are an environmentally friendly choice. Similarly, online shopping has changed how people buy goods, offering endless choices sent directly to one’s doorstep, often within days or even hours. These new inventions show that China is changing. It used to make traditional things, but now it is leading in making high-tech solutions. These solutions can solve real problems in our lives. They show how technology can make life simple, save time, and connect people to services more efficiently. 16．What is the main purpose (目的) of the article? A．To explain the history of China’s ancient inventions. B．To compare high-speed trains with shared bikes. C．To argue that mobile payment is the most important invention. D．To describe how China’s latest inventions are influencing modern life. 17．Why does the writer mention ancient inventions in the first paragraph? A．To give a history lesson. B．To explain how the compass was used. C．To show that modern inventions are less important. D．To show that the new inventions are different but equally important. 18．According to the passage, what is a major advantage (优点) of mobile payment? A．It requires carrying a lot of cash. B．It makes transactions fast and convenient. C．It can only be used in large shopping malls. D．It is slower than traditional payment methods. 19．Which invention is specifically mentioned as helping to reduce traffic and be eco-friendly? A．High-speed rail. B．Online shopping. C．Shared bikes. D．Mobile payment. 20．What can be inferred (推断) about these new inventions from the passage? A．They are only popular in China. B．They depend heavily on digital technology and practical applications. C．They are not useful for everyday life. D．They are more important than the ancient inventions. C Have you ever wondered why some people are better at maths while others are better at art? The answer might lie in how your brain works. Your brain has two halves, called hemispheres (半球), and each one has its own special jobs to do. The left hemisphere is like a logical (有逻辑的) thinker. It helps you with language, reading, and writing. When you solve maths problems or follow step-by-step instructions, your left brain is working hard. It also controls the right side of your body. It loves order and details (细节). The right hemisphere is more creative. It helps you understand music, remember faces, and enjoy art. When you imagine a beautiful sunset or feel emotions (情绪) from a song, your right brain is active. It controls the left side of your body and is better at seeing the “big picture” rather than small details. However, here’s an interesting fact: the “left brain vs right brain” idea is often misunderstood. While it’s true that each hemisphere has its advantages, they actually work together most of the time. For example, when you read a story, your left brain deals with the words, but your right brain helps you understand the emotions and pictures. Recent research shows that successful people use both hemispheres well. A great musician needs the right brain for creativity and the left brain to read musical notes.

Problem-solving ability is a very important skill in our daily life. It helps us to face challenges and find solutions (解决措施) to different problems. Whether at school, at work, or at home, we often meet situations that require us to think carefully and make decisions. 26 To improve problem-solving ability, we can follow a few simple steps. 27 This means asking questions like “What is the problem?” and “Why did it happen?”. Once we know the problem, we can start thinking of possible solutions. Sometimes, there are many ways to solve a problem, so it’s important to consider all choices. After that, we should choose the best solution and take action. Finally, we need to check if the solution works. If it doesn’t, we can try another way. Problem-solving also requires patience and creativity. 28 Instead, we should think outside the box and try new ways. For example, if a door is stuck, instead of pushing harder, we can try to find out why it’s stuck and fix the problem. 29 We don’t have to begin with big problems. We can start with small problems and gradually take on bigger challenges. Over time, we will become more confident and skilled at finding solutions. In conclusion, problem-solving ability is a skill that can be learned and improved through practice. 30 By staying calm, thinking creatively, and following the steps, we can become better problem solvers in life.
