阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In Gansu province, three generations of workers have worked hard to stop desertification.
Babusha, a big sand dune (沙丘) at the edge (边缘) of the Tengger Desert, was a big cause of sandstorms in the 1980s. The desert destroyed farmland and villages in its south, and affected more than 30,000 people. However, with the effort of “the six old men” and their children and grandchildren, now, a green belt, which is 10 kilometers long and 8 kilometers wide, has been built.
This project is time-consuming. Guo Chaoming and five other villagers first had the idea of renting 5,000 hectares (公顷) of sandy land to plant trees in 1981. Their original goal was to prevent sandstorms from destroying their crops. At the time, Guo, the oldest of the six, was already 61, while Zhang Runyuan, the youngest, was not yet 50.
At first, they planted 667 hectares of saplings (幼苗). However, after the first sandstorm, no more than 30 percent survived. After countless failures, they successfully thought of the idea of burying wheat straw (埋麦秸) around trees to hold the sand.
Planting trees in the desert is difficult, but taking care of them was even more challenging. To protect the trees, they chose to live there for years, in a simple shelter they made from wooden poles and straw (木杆和稻草). They used bricks (砖头) to support a cooking pot (灶台), drank boiled water and ate steamed buns when hungry.
In the eyes of the six men, the Babusha forest farm became their most valuable possession. Even in the 1990s, when they lacked money, they didn’t cut down a single tree or grass to sell. Time passed by and four of the six passed away. But their children and grandchildren took up the torch and continued their work.
Now, the desert has changed into grassland and forest. The amount of plants has increased from less than 3% to more than 75%. In 2019, “the six old men” and their families were honored “Model of the Times” and “Most Beautiful Fighters” for their hard work.
16. In paragraph 1, “three generations of workers” refers to ________.
A. “The six old men”
B. Six scientists including Guo Chaoming, Zhang Runyuan and so on
C. “The six old men” and their children and grandchildren
D. More than 30,000 people in the villages
17. What was the original purpose of the six old men in renting the sandy land?
A. To contribute to the society.
B. To protect their own crops from sandstorms.
C. To improve their own skills by planting trees.
D. To deal with the environmental problem.
18. How did the six old men manage to increase the survival rate (比率) of saplings in the desert?
A. By planting fewer saplings.
B. By taking good care of saplings and watering them several times a day.
C. By keeping testing and failing several times.
D. By burying wheat straw to hold the sand.
19. Which of the following words best describe the six old men’s qualities?

On June 23, the Chinese actress Huo Siyan posted a video on Xiaohongshu. She shared how she and her husband discovered an injured beagle (比格犬) by the roadside. It turned out that the poor dog had come from a lab. The couple took her home and named her Pearl.
Their story has drawn public attention to animals used in lab testing. Animals have long played an important role in scientific studies. In the 1880s, Louis Pasteur conducted experiments on sheep and showed the world that some diseases are caused by germs. In the 1970s, treatments for a serious skin disease were used on animals before being given to humans. In 1974, Rudolf Jaenisch put DNA from a virus into mice. Genetic research grew quickly after that.
Today, animal testing is still required for many products. From cosmetics (化妆品) to medicines, new chemicals are often tested on animals first. It is said that more than 115 million animals are used in experiments every year. Lab testing on animals is not like taking your pet to the vet. Lab animals are harmed in many ways. Some tests even require the animal to die. That’s the sad but true situation for millions of mice, rabbits, dogs and other animals.
Back in the 17th century, people had different opinions about animal testing. Many people disliked it. They believed that animals should not be harmed for humanity’s sake. In recent years, more and more people are saying “no” to animal research. Some countries have banned (禁止) the testing of certain products on animals. Scientists have been working to offer non-animal methods. For example, they have created 3D chips (芯片) from human cells. These chips work like tiny human organs. They are used to find out how human systems respond to drugs. Some scientists remove cells from a cancer patient’s tumor. These cells are then used to test different treatments. Researchers also make use of computer models. They can predict how a medicine might affect us. These methods help improve the understanding and treatment of the human body. They are also faster and cheaper than animal testing. Old habits die hard. But non-animal methods will one day replace experiments on animals. This will be a good thing not just for animals, but for human health in general.
21. What led to the increased public attention on the issue of animal testing?
A. The development of 3D chips from human cells.
B. Huo Siyan’s discovery of an injured beagle from a lab.
C. The banning of animal testing in certain countries.
D. The use of computer models to predict drug effects.
22. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. People’s attention has been drawn to the animals used in lab testing.
B. Animal testing should be stopped immediately.
C. The negative effects of animal testing.
D. Animal testing has had an important impact on scientific progress.
23. What is the current status of animal testing according to the passage?
A. It has been completely banned worldwide.
B. It is still required for many products, including cosmetics and medicines.
C. It has been replaced by non-animal methods.
D. It is only conducted for scientific research, not for product testing.
24. What is the structure of the passage?
A. ①→②→③④ B. ①→②③→④ C. ①→②→③→④ D. ①②→③④
25. What is the author’s attitude on the future of non-animal testing methods?
A. They will never replace animal testing.
B. They will eventually replace animal testing and benefit both animals and human health.
C. They are too expensive and time-consuming to be practical.
D. They are not as effective as traditional animal testing methods.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了孔子向音乐大师师襄子学习古琴的故事。孔子反复练习同一首曲子,不只追求弹奏技巧,还不断钻研乐曲背后的思想与创作者,体现出严谨踏实的求学态度。
【1题详解】
句意:事实上,孔子对音乐也有着浓厚的兴趣。
后文提到他向音乐大师师襄子学习弹古琴,由此可知本段围绕音乐展开;chess“象棋”,history“历史”,science“科学”,和下文学弹琴的情节无关。因此填music。
【2题详解】
句意:当孔子开始上课时,他连续好多天一直弹奏同一首曲子。
下文师襄子对此感到疑惑,不理解为何他总弹这一首,same意为“相同的”;different“不同的”,difficult“困难的”,ancient“古老的”,与反复练习同一乐曲的情节矛盾。因此填same。
【3题详解】
句意:现在你这首曲子弹得很好了,你可以继续学习其他曲子了。
师襄子认为孔子已经掌握当前曲目,建议他学习新的乐曲,learn意为“学习”;write“写”,teach“教”,copy“抄写”,不符合师徒学琴的语境。因此填learn。
【4题详解】
句意:谢谢您,但我还得学习它的弹奏技巧。
后文“After some days, Confucius could play with the skills”可以得到提示,孔子认为自己尚未掌握曲子的技巧;writers“作者”,sounds“声音”,instruments“乐器”,和后文原词skills不呼应。因此填skills。
【5题详解】
句意:你可以开始学习新的曲子了。
前文已经练完一首,老师再次建议他学习别的曲目,new意为“新的”;easy“简单的”,strange“陌生的”,modern“现代的”,文中没有提示曲子难易或者时代特点。因此填new。
【6题详解】
句意:在接下来的日子里,孔子继续练习同一首乐曲。
前文老师两次劝他换曲子,而孔子想要弄懂乐曲的思想,于是继续坚持练习,continued意为“继续”;stopped“停止”,forgot“忘记”,imagined“想象”,和情节逻辑相反。因此填continued。
【7题详解】
句意:但是我还没有弄清楚这首曲子的创作者是谁。
下文孔子说出作曲者身份,说明此时他还没有探究出答案,found out意为“查明,弄清楚”;played against“对抗”,acted out“表演出来”,cared for“关心”,不符合探寻创作者的语境。因此填found out。
【8题详解】
句意:有一天孔子停下弹奏,自信地告诉他的老师。
后文孔子准确说出作曲者,说明此时他十分笃定,confidently意为“自信地”;sadly“难过地”,patiently“耐心地”,faithfully“忠实地”,不能体现他得出结论后的状态。因此填confidently。
【9题详解】
句意:我确定作曲者是周文王!
结合上文孔子反复揣摩乐曲内涵,此时已经得出判断,be certain意为“确信的”,用来表达十分肯定的推断;angry“生气的”,sorry“遗憾的”,unaware“未意识到的”,均和孔子笃定的语气不符。因此填certain。
【10题详解】
句意:师襄子惊讶地说:“你太聪慧了!”
前文孔子仅凭乐曲就推断出作曲者,这出乎老师的意料,in surprise是固定短语,意为“惊讶地”;detail“细节”,public“公开”,order“命令”,无法表现老师意外赞叹的状态。因此填surprise。

On June 23, the Chinese actress Huo Siyan posted a video on Xiaohongshu. She shared how she and her husband discovered an injured beagle (比格犬) by the roadside. It turned out that the poor dog had come from a lab. The couple took her home and named her Pearl.
Their story has drawn public attention to animals used in lab testing. Animals have long played an important role in scientific studies. In the 1880s, Louis Pasteur conducted experiments on sheep and showed the world that some diseases are caused by germs. In the 1970s, treatments for a serious skin disease were used on animals before being given to humans. In 1974, Rudolf Jaenisch put DNA from a virus into mice. Genetic research grew quickly after that.
Today, animal testing is still required for many products. From cosmetics (化妆品) to medicines, new chemicals are often tested on animals first. It is said that more than 115 million animals are used in experiments every year. Lab testing on animals is not like taking your pet to the vet. Lab animals are harmed in many ways. Some tests even require the animal to die. That’s the sad but true situation for millions of mice, rabbits, dogs and other animals.
Back in the 17th century, people had different opinions about animal testing. Many people disliked it. They believed that animals should not be harmed for humanity’s sake. In recent years, more and more people are saying “no” to animal research. Some countries have banned (禁止) the testing of certain products on animals. Scientists have been working to offer non-animal methods. For example, they have created 3D chips (芯片) from human cells. These chips work like tiny human organs. They are used to find out how human systems respond to drugs. Some scientists remove cells from a cancer patient’s tumor. These cells are then used to test different treatments. Researchers also make use of computer models. They can predict how a medicine might affect us. These methods help improve the understanding and treatment of the human body. They are also faster and cheaper than animal testing. Old habits die hard. But non-animal methods will one day replace experiments on animals. This will be a good thing not just for animals, but for human health in general.
21. What led to the increased public attention on the issue of animal testing?
A. The development of 3D chips from human cells.
B. Huo Siyan’s discovery of an injured beagle from a lab.
C. The banning of animal testing in certain countries.
D. The use of computer models to predict drug effects.
22. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. People’s attention has been drawn to the animals used in lab testing.
B. Animal testing should be stopped immediately.
C. The negative effects of animal testing.
D. Animal testing has had an important impact on scientific progress.
23. What is the current status of animal testing according to the passage?
A. It has been completely banned worldwide.
B. It is still required for many products, including cosmetics and medicines.
C. It has been replaced by non-animal methods.
D. It is only conducted for scientific research, not for product testing.
24. What is the structure of the passage?
A. ①→②→③④ B. ①→②③→④ C. ①→②→③→④ D. ①②→③④
25. What is the author’s attitude on the future of non-animal testing methods?
A. They will never replace animal testing.
B. They will eventually replace animal testing and benefit both animals and human health.
C. They are too expensive and time-consuming to be practical.
D. They are not as effective as traditional animal testing methods.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了泰国绿山国家动物园的小河马Moo Deng在网络上走红的故事,以及人们对小河马的喜爱和对河马未来保护的希望。
【36题详解】
句意:她于7月10日在泰国绿山国家动物园出生。“July 10”是具体日期,用介词on。故填on。
【37题详解】
句意:自从动物园开始发布这只小河马的可爱时刻视频以来,它就在网上走红了。根据“since the zoo began...”可知,主句用现在完成时“have/has done”,主语“The baby hippo”是名词单数,助动词用has,become的过去分词是become。故填has become。
【38题详解】
句意:自从动物园开始发布这只小河马的可爱时刻视频以来,它就在网上走红了。空后是名词“cute moments”,空处应是she的形容词性物主代词her。故填her。
【39题详解】
句意:她助力动物园的游客数量翻了一番。根据“She has helped double the number of...(visit) to the zoo.”可知,此处指游客的数量翻了一倍,空处应是名词复数形式visitors“游客”,表泛指。故填visitors。
【40题详解】
句意:她真是个小小的团子。根据“She’s such...little lump (团).”可知,此处指一个小团子,little以辅音音素开头,空处应是a。故填a。
【41题详解】
句意:一位兴奋的粉丝在见到她后说道。根据“an...(excite) fan”可知,修饰人,用形容词excited“感到兴奋的”,作定语。故填excited。
【42题详解】
句意:这个狂热的粉丝坐了3个小时的飞机来到泰国。It takes/took sb. time to do sth.“做某事花费某人多少时间”是固定句型,空处应是不定式,故填to come。
【43题详解】
句意:它是由粉丝通过线上投票选出的。根据“Moo Deng, which means “bouncy pork” in Thai, is a type of meatball. It...(choose) by fans through an online vote.”可知,已知名字“Moo Deng”,说明“投票选出名字”的动作发生在过去,用一般过去时;且主语“It”和动词“choose”之间是被动关系,用一般过去时的被动语态“was done”,choose的过去分词是chosen。故填was chosen。
【44题详解】
句意:由于这些动物遭到猎杀,它们的栖息地也遭到破坏,其数量正持续大幅下降。根据“And the number continues to drop...(sharp)”可知,空处修饰动词drop,应使用副词形式sharply“急剧地,突然大幅度地”。故填sharply。
【45题详解】
句意:虽然情况很糟糕,但人们仍然对河马的未来保护抱有希望。根据“...the situation is bad, people are still hopeful for the future protection of the hippo.”可知,although/though符合语境,引导让步状语从句,表示“虽然形势不容乐观,但人们仍抱有希望”。故填Although/Though。

【答案】例文:
Recently, some social media platforms began to report the fact that some schools are limiting their students during the 10‑minute break between classes.
Many students can’t go out of the classroom except for drinking water or going to the toilet. Even during the lunch break, they are not allowed to play on the playground. In my opinion, we should make good use of the 10‑minute break. We can take a short walk outside to relax ourselves. It helps us get fresh air and clear our minds.
After a good rest, we will feel more energetic and do better in the next class. So schools should give us more free time.
