Some visitors walked past it, believing that it was waiting to be repaired. A small label changed their response. The chair had belonged to a doctor who worked in a mountain village for forty years. Patients often sat on it while waiting for treatment. When one leg broke, a local carpenter repaired it with a different kind of wood. Years later, another repair added a metal strip. The marks recorded both long use and repeated care. The museum did not present the chair as a perfect design. Instead, it asked visitors to consider whether repair could add value. Many people spent longer with the chair after reading its history. Some noticed how the new wood contrasted with the old; others imagined the conversations that had taken place around it. The display suggests that damage does not always end an object's story. When repair is honest rather than hidden, it may reveal time, responsibility and human connection. 31. Why did some visitors first ignore the chair? A. It was behind a closed door. B. They thought it was awaiting repair. C. The room was too dark. D. They disliked wooden objects. 32. What did the different materials show? A. The chair was cheaply made. B. The doctor disliked it. C. The carpenter made a mistake. D. The chair had been repaired more than once. 33.

What happened after visitors read the history? A. They demanded a new chair. B. They left the room quickly. C. They observed it more carefully. D. They hid the repairs. 35. Which idea best matches the passage? A. Damage always destroys beauty. B. Honest repairs can carry meaning. C. Only perfect objects belong in museums. D. Old furniture has no practical value. 【答案】31．B 32．D 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文通过博物馆中的修补旧椅说明，真实保留的修复痕迹可以呈现时间、责任和人与人的联系。 【详解】31．参观者误以为椅子正等待修理，故选B。 32．不同木材和金属条说明椅子经历多次修复，故选D。 33．展览邀请人们思考修复是否会增加价值，故选A。 34．了解历史后，参观者观察得更仔细，故选C。 35．文章强调真实修复能够承载意义，故选B。 （C） Researchers asked two groups of volunteers to walk through the same garden. The first group received a list of plant names to find as quickly as possible. The second group was told to move slowly and record three details that made them curious. Both groups completed the walk, but their reports differed. The first group remembered more names immediately after the activity. A week later, however, many details had disappeared from memory. The second group remembered fewer names but gave richer descriptions. They recalled the rough edge of a leaf, the movement of light on water and the change in birdsong near a bridge. The researchers did not conclude that one method was always better. Fast searching is useful when people need specific information. Slow attention, by contrast, can support deeper observation and emotional connection. In daily life, people often behave like the first group, moving quickly toward a goal. The study suggests occasionally changing pace. Beauty may not be absent; attention may simply be elsewhere. 36. What did the first group have to do? A. Find named plants quickly. B. Draw every flower. C. Record curious details. D. Listen near the bridge. 37. What was special about the second group's reports? A. They contained more plant names. B. They were completed faster. C. They gave richer descriptions. D. They used fewer details. 38. What did the researchers say about fast searching? A. It should never be used. B. It prevents all memory. C. It creates emotional connection. D. It is useful for specific information. 39. What does “changing pace” mean here? A. Running through the garden. B. Sometimes slowing down to notice more. C. Visiting a different city. D. Learning more plant names. 40. What is the writer's main point? A. Gardens need more signs. B. Memory depends only on names. C. Beauty exists only in nature. D. Attention influences what beauty we notice. 【答案】36．A 37．C 38．D 39．B 40．D 【导语】本文比较快速搜寻与慢速观察，说明目标不同会影响记忆内容，而放慢节奏有助于发现细节之美。 【详解】36．第一组需快速寻找清单中的植物，故选A。 37．第二组记住名称较少，但描述更丰富，故选C。 38．研究者认为快速搜寻适合获取特定信息，故选D。 39．此处指偶尔放慢速度以观察更多细节，故选B。 40．全文说明注意方式影响人们发现的美，故选D。 （D） An orchestra once invited people with no musical training to a rehearsal. Before playing, the conductor asked them not to judge whether the music was “good” or “difficult”. Instead, they should notice changes in speed, silence and emotion. During the first piece, several listeners became confused by long quiet spaces. In the discussion, one woman said the pauses made her uncomfortable. A musician explained that the silence created expectation and allowed the next sound to carry greater force. When the orchestra played the piece again, the woman experienced the pauses differently. Other listeners focused on the players' movements. They saw how musicians breathed together before important entrances. This shared timing was nearly invisible to an audience at a formal concert, yet it shaped the sound. The rehearsal did not turn visitors into experts. It gave them useful ways to pay attention. Appreciation grew not from being told what to like, but from learning what to notice and then forming their own response. 41. What did the conductor ask visitors to avoid? A. Judging the music too quickly. B. Listening to silence. C. Watching the musicians. D. Sharing personal feelings. 42. Why were the pauses important? A. They let musicians rest for hours. B. They built expectation and strengthened later sounds. C. They showed the piece was unfinished. D. They allowed visitors to leave. 43. What nearly invisible detail did listeners notice? A. The colour of the chairs. B. The price of instruments. C. Musicians breathing together. D. Notes written by visitors. 44. Did the rehearsal make visitors musical experts? A. Yes, after the first piece. B. Yes, because they met musicians. C. No, because they disliked the music. D. No, but it improved their way of listening. 45. How did appreciation grow? A. Through attention and personal response. B. By accepting one fixed opinion. C. By avoiding difficult music. D. Through professional training only. 【答案】41．A 42．B 43．C 44．D 45．A 【导语】本文介绍面向普通听众的乐团排练，说明学习关注速度、停顿、情感和协作能深化音乐欣赏。 【详解】41．指挥要求听众不要过快判断音乐，故选A。 42．停顿制造期待并增强后续声音的力量，故选B。 43．听众注意到乐手在重要进入前共同呼吸，故选C。 44．活动未使人成为专家，但改善了倾听方式，故选D。 45．欣赏来自有方法的关注和个人感受，故选A。 五、书面表达（共1题，满分10分） 46. 假设你是学生会成员李华，请为“校园声音地图”作品征集写一则英文通知。请根据以下信息完成正文。 活动 录制一种有意义的校园声音，并说明其背后的故事 作品要求 录音30—60秒；英文说明40词以内；内容原创 提交截止 6月10日 展示 优秀作品6月14日午间在学校大厅播放 要求：60—80词；语句通顺，意思连贯；不得出现真实姓名和学校名称。 ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 Notice We are collecting works for a Campus Sound Map.
