Maybe a plastic bottle, a piece of paper, or an empty can. We all know that some rubbish does harm to the environment. But do you actually stop to pick it up? A new sport called “plogging” is encouraging people to do exactly that. The word “plogging” comes from “jogging” and the Swedish phrase (瑞典语) “plocka upp”, which means “pick up”. The idea is simple: pick up rubbish while you are jogging! It all started in 2016 when Erik Ahlström, a runner, moved from a small town in northern Sweden to Stockholm. He was upset to see so much rubbish during his daily runs. So, he invented the word “plogging” and created a website called Plogga to encourage people to start plogging. Today, plogging has become a global sport. Since 2021, the World Plogging Championship has been held annually in Italy. In the 2024 event, over 80 ploggers from 13 countries took part and collected over 1,200 kilograms of rubbish. Plogging is also great for your health, as you’re running and squatting (蹲) to pick up rubbish, which burns more calories than just jogging. It can also be a fun social activity if you invite others to join in. Together, you can make a big contribution to the environment. Of course, not everyone likes jogging. But you can combine picking up rubbish with almost any other outdoor activity. According to the Plogga website, you can plog while cycling, skateboarding, or even just walking—any way you like to get outside and move. 34. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By showing an example. 35. What do we know about Erik Ahlström? A. He was born in Stockholm, Sweden. B. He started a website to spread his idea. C. He invented “plogging” to keep healthy. D. He joined the 2024 World Plogging Championship. 36. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How plogging developed and improved. B. What problems might plogging bring about. C. Why plogging has become a global activity. D. How plogging helps people and the environment. 37. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a great runner. B. To encourage people to try plogging. C. To call on people to exercise every day. D. To explain the importance of outdoor activities. 【答案】34. C 35. B 36. D 37. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项新兴运动plogging（慢跑捡垃圾），讲解它的起源、发明者、对健康和环境的好处，还说明可以结合多种户外活动开展这项运动。 【34题详解】 原文第一段“When you go out for a walk or a jog, do you notice the rubbish on the road?”，文章开头使用两个问句引出话题。 【35题详解】 原文第三段“So, he invented the word “plogging” and created a website called Plogga to encourage people to start plogging.”，Erik Ahlström创建网站来传播这个理念。 【36题详解】 原文第四段“Plogging is also great for your health, as you’re running and squatting to pick up rubbish, which burns more calories than just jogging.”及“Together, you can make a big contribution to the environment.”，本段介绍plogging对人体健康和环境两方面的益处。 【37题详解】 通读全文，文章介绍plogging这项运动，介绍它的好处，目的是鼓励大家参与这项活动。 C You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Li Xing, a math professor at Ning Xia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I complete agree with what he said. Numbers are beautiful There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure (测量) the length from your head to your belly button and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My skiff (小船) has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Curves (曲线) are beautiful “Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. “Tangent curve” is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing (猛冲) down three thousand feet from on high”. Formulas (公式) are beautiful There are some amazing formulas. In a right-angled triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. How amazing! Just as Chinese-American mathematician Chern Shingshen said, “Math is fun!” 38. If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________. A. it has a golden color B. it only happens in human bodies C. it looks like a human body D. it might bring people a sense of beauty 39. Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage? A. To introduce the topic. B. To support his opinion. C. To share the beauty of Li Bai’s poems. D. To offer advice on learning math. 40. What does a tangent curve look like? A. B. C. D. 41. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why math is beautiful and fun. B. Why math is difficult and boring. C. How we can learn math in a right way. D. How math helps us live a better life. 【答案】38. D 39. B 40. C 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文详细介绍了数学中的美感和趣味性，包括数字的美感、曲线的美感和公式的美感，以及通过例子来说明这些美感，使读者能够在新的视角下看到数学的魅力。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies...The ratio of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.”可知，如果人体的分割比例是0.618，说明这具身体是富有美感的；而在自然、音乐和绘画中，处处可见黄金比例。由此推知，如果一个事物是黄金比例，那么这个事物可以带给我们美感。故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote...all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.”可知，作者提到李白的诗歌，是为了展示诗歌中的数字美。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘Tangent curve’ is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, ‘dashing down three thousand feet from on high’.”可知，“切线”如瀑布，正如李白所言，“飞流直下三千尺”。结合选项的图形，C选项符合。故选C。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文中小标题和“Just as Chinese-American mathematician Chern Shingshen said, ‘Math is fun!’”可知，本文主要通过一些例子来说明数学的美以及数字带来的乐趣。故选A。 D Zhang Shengwu, a 60-year-old farmer from Maanshan, Anhui Province, successfully built a submarine (潜艇) by himself, which has drawn widespread attention. The 5-metric-ton home-built submarine, named “Big Black Fish”, can dive to a depth of 8 meters, CCTV news reported. Zhang has been interested in inventions since childhood. Over the years, he has worked in carpentry, welding, and the shipping industry. Over 20 years ago, he returned to his hometown and started selling sand at the cargo dock, spending his days watching ships come and go. In 2014, Zhang saw a TV programme where a person built a submarine. This inspired him to build one by himself. Although his family worried about the cost and risk, Zhang completed his own submarine. Drawing on his experience with boats and handcrafting, Zhang spent about 5,000 yuan on materials. It took him six months to build his first submarine, which is 6 meters long, 1.2 meters high and weighs 2 tons. Although his first submarine suffered from sealing (密封) problems, the invention earned him a utility model patent (实用新型专利). In 2016, he developed a surface ship that produced small waves while moving. This invention also received a utility model patent. However, this grassroots inventor had a bigger dream. His most challenging project is the new submarine. He has invested over 40,000 yuan into it. This new submarine has a length of 7 meters, a height of 1.8 meters, and weighs 5 tons. It can dive to a depth of 8 meters, carry two people, and travel at a speed of 4 nautical miles per hour. Watching his submarines grow larger and his techniques improve, he dreams of building an even larger, fully practical one. “Only when you try and achieve success, you do realize what you’re really able to do,” Zhang said. 42. What can we know about Zhang Shengwu from the first two paragraphs? A. He has worked in the shipping industry since he was 20. B. He developed an interest in inventions when he was young. C. He is a 60-year-old engineer who was born in Anhui Province. D. He lived in his hometown and sold sand for more than 40 years. 43. What inspired Zhang Shengwu to build a submarine? A. A news report. B. A TV programme. C. His work experience. D. His father’s encouragement. 44. What can we learn about Zhang’s first submarine? A. It could dive to 8 meters. B. It has no problems when in use. C. It got him his first utility model patent. D. It took him 10 years to finish building. 45. How is the new submarine different from the first one? A. It is longer and taller than the first one. B.

You leave a digital footprint, and it will never disappear. Here are reasons why your digital footprint matters to you. How people think of you You may think you are a pretty good person, but if people get information about you, they might form opinions based on what you have left online. ____47____ Years later, it’s found by the university you applied to, and they don’t think it’s funny. Maybe they decide you are not the “right” kind of person for them. Your private (私人的) information Not everything can be shared with everyone. For example, you might share your school grades with your parents, but you’d better keep them secret (秘密) from your e-friends. If you share them on the Internet, they will no longer be a secret. ____48____ Keeping your money safe ____49____ Even some of them want to steal (偷) your money. So, you should never send bank information, card numbers or passwords in emails or messages. Overall, the fact is: ____50____ But you can be careful and control what you share. A. You leave footprints wherever you go. B. For example, you make a silly joke online. C. Therefore, be careful about what you post online. D. No one can go online without leaving a digital footprint. E. People online might use your information in harmful ways. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. C 49. E 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了数字足迹不会消失的特点，并从他人对你的印象、个人隐私安全、财产安全三个维度说明了数字足迹对个人至关重要的原因。 【46题详解】 空前句描述“想象你正在厚厚的积雪中行走”，空后句点明“同样的事发生在你使用电脑等设备时，你会留下数字足迹”，前后是用现实雪地留脚印的常识类比引出数字足迹的概念。A项“You leave footprints wherever you go.”承接雪地行走的场景，指出走在哪里都会留下脚印，刚好完成现实场景的铺垫，自然过渡到后文“使用电子设备也会留下同类痕迹”的类比逻辑，让前后“留痕迹”的共性完全对应。 【47题详解】 空前核心观点是“他人会根据你留在网上的内容形成对你的评价”，空后句描述“多年后你申请的大学看到了它，不觉得有趣，甚至判定你不符合要求”，句中的代词it需要在前文有具体的指代对象。B项“For example, you make a silly joke online.”是对前文“网上留下的内容影响他人评价”的具象举例，其中的silly joke刚好对应后文大学觉得不好笑的指代对象it，用具体的生活化案例把抽象观点落地。 【48题详解】 本段主题是“私人信息保护”，空前句指出“如果把隐私信息发到网上，它就不再是秘密了”，是对本段核心危害的总结性铺垫，需要一句收尾性的建议呼应主题。C项“Therefore, be careful about what you post online.”用因果逻辑副词Therefore承接前文“隐私公开就不再是秘密”的后果，顺理成章得出“要谨慎对待线上发布内容”的行动建议。 【49题详解】 本段主题是“保障资金安全”，空后句提到“甚至其中部分人想偷你的钱”，代词them需要有明确的指代对象，且要铺垫出“线上存在恶意使用者”的前提。E项“People online might use your information in harmful ways.”先点明线上有人会恶意使用你的个人信息，刚好对应后文them的指代主体，同时“恶意使用信息”和后文“偷钱”形成递进关系，契合Even引导的程度加深逻辑。 【50题详解】 空前是全文总结句“总的来说事实是”，空后句转折指出“但你可以谨慎行事，控制分享的内容”，需要先陈述无法规避的客观现实，再通过转折引出可控的应对方案。D项“No one can go online without leaving a digital footprint.”先点明“上网必然留下数字足迹”这个无法改变的客观事实，再通过后文的转折，突出“虽然客观规律不可避免，但人可以主动管控分享内容”的核心引导，完全契合全文的总结导向。 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共45分） 五、写作 第一节 语篇填词（5分） 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。 Zu Chongzhi was an outstanding mathematician in ancient China.

This year’s challenge is to create an invention that makes sports safer, more fun, and easier for everyone! Here are the first three inventions! Remember to visit our Challenge website to vote (投票) for your favourites! Glo Zone 6-year-old Kabir from California came up with this cool invention after being hit by four adults on a ski trip! To make night skiing (especially for kids) safer, he created Glo Zone, a fun glowing (发光的) rainbow umbrella that can be fixed onto the skier’s helmets. Others were amazed by how he carefully tested his invention and took feedback from other kids. Kabir says, “Glo Zone not only lights up the user but also creates a ’glow zone’around it. Glo Zone keeps other skiers from hitting kids.” Skate Shoes “DOOD” It’s the worst when you ruin your shoes during exercise! Luckily, 17-year-old Rommel from Mexico has made cheap, environmentally-friendly skate shoes. These shoes have a special design: their parts can be taken off and replaced. So if one part breaks, you don’t have to throw away the whole pair. Just change the broken part into a new one. Skaters can also exchange the soles to suit different types of tricks and moves. The HIVE Inventors Brayden and Eli were members of the team that won the challenge last year. Together with Charlotte and Cailey, they have created The HIVE, a VR sports portal (体育平台) for people of all abilities. The team went to Bill Hannigan for advice. He is a member of the US Paralympics bobsled team who uses a wheelchair. He said, “I think something like this is so nice. If they can do something at home to keep them going, to keep their minds fresh, to feel a part of something, that would be great.” Which of these fantastic inventions will win the Cricket Choice Award? Cast your vote here by May 16! 31. Why did Kabir invent the Glo Zone? A. To improve kids’ skiing skills. B. To make skiing much safer at night. C. To decorate ski helmets with colours. D. To become famous among classmates 32. What is special about Rommel’s skate shoes? A. They are made from recycled materials. B. They are especially designed for teenagers. C. They can be easily fixed by replacing parts. D. They can be suitable for different types of sports. 33. How can The HIVE help people? A. By allowing them to play VR sports at home. B. By teaching them to build a VR portal at home. C. By helping them become members of the Paralympics team. D. By providing them with training courses from Bill Hannigan. B When you go out for a walk or a jog (慢跑), do you notice the rubbish on the road? Maybe a plastic bottle, a piece of paper, or an empty can. We all know that some rubbish does harm to the environment. But do you actually stop to pick it up? A new sport called “plogging” is encouraging people to do exactly that. The word “plogging” comes from “jogging” and the Swedish phrase (瑞典语) “plocka upp”, which means “pick up”. The idea is simple: pick up rubbish while you are jogging! It all started in 2016 when Erik Ahlström, a runner, moved from a small town in northern Sweden to Stockholm. He was upset to see so much rubbish during his daily runs. So, he invented the word “plogging” and created a website called Plogga to encourage people to start plogging. Today, plogging has become a global sport. Since 2021, the World Plogging Championship has been held annually in Italy. In the 2024 event, over 80 ploggers from 13 countries took part and collected over 1,200 kilograms of rubbish. Plogging is also great for your health, as you’re running and squatting (蹲) to pick up rubbish, which burns more calories than just jogging. It can also be a fun social activity if you invite others to join in. Together, you can make a big contribution to the environment. Of course, not everyone likes jogging. But you can combine picking up rubbish with almost any other outdoor activity. According to the Plogga website, you can plog while cycling, skateboarding, or even just walking—any way you like to get outside and move. 34. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By showing an example. 35. What do we know about Erik Ahlström? A. He was born in Stockholm, Sweden. B. He started a website to spread his idea. C. He invented “plogging” to keep healthy. D. He joined the 2024 World Plogging Championship. 36. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How plogging developed and improved. B. What problems might plogging bring about. C. Why plogging has become a global activity. D. How plogging helps people and the environment. 37. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a great runner. B. To encourage people to try plogging. C. To call on people to exercise every day. D. To explain the importance of outdoor activities. C You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Li Xing, a math professor at Ning Xia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I complete agree with what he said. Numbers are beautiful There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure (测量) the length from your head to your belly button and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My skiff (小船) has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Curves (曲线) are beautiful “Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. “Tangent curve” is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing (猛冲) down three thousand feet from on high”. Formulas (公式) are beautiful There are some amazing formulas. In a right-angled triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. How amazing! Just as Chinese-American mathematician Chern Shingshen said, “Math is fun!” 38. If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________. A. it has a golden color B. it only happens in human bodies C. it looks like a human body D. it might bring people a sense of beauty 39. Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage? A. To introduce the topic. B. To support his opinion. C. To share the beauty of Li Bai’s poems. D.

D Zhang Shengwu, a 60-year-old farmer from Maanshan, Anhui Province, successfully built a submarine (潜艇) by himself, which has drawn widespread attention. The 5-metric-ton home-built submarine, named “Big Black Fish”, can dive to a depth of 8 meters, CCTV news reported. Zhang has been interested in inventions since childhood. Over the years, he has worked in carpentry, welding, and the shipping industry. Over 20 years ago, he returned to his hometown and started selling sand at the cargo dock, spending his days watching ships come and go. In 2014, Zhang saw a TV programme where a person built a submarine. This inspired him to build one by himself. Although his family worried about the cost and risk, Zhang completed his own submarine. Drawing on his experience with boats and handcrafting, Zhang spent about 5,000 yuan on materials. It took him six months to build his first submarine, which is 6 meters long, 1.2 meters high and weighs 2 tons. Although his first submarine suffered from sealing (密封) problems, the invention earned him a utility model patent (实用新型专利). In 2016, he developed a surface ship that produced small waves while moving. This invention also received a utility model patent. However, this grassroots inventor had a bigger dream. His most challenging project is the new submarine. He has invested over 40,000 yuan into it. This new submarine has a length of 7 meters, a height of 1.8 meters, and weighs 5 tons. It can dive to a depth of 8 meters, carry two people, and travel at a speed of 4 nautical miles per hour. Watching his submarines grow larger and his techniques improve, he dreams of building an even larger, fully practical one. “Only when you try and achieve success, you do realize what you’re really able to do,” Zhang said. 42. What can we know about Zhang Shengwu from the first two paragraphs? A. He has worked in the shipping industry since he was 20. B. He developed an interest in inventions when he was young. C. He is a 60-year-old engineer who was born in Anhui Province. D. He lived in his hometown and sold sand for more than 40 years. 43. What inspired Zhang Shengwu to build a submarine? A. A news report. B. A TV programme. C. His work experience. D. His father’s encouragement. 44. What can we learn about Zhang’s first submarine? A. It could dive to 8 meters. B. It has no problems when in use. C. It got him his first utility model patent. D. It took him 10 years to finish building. 45. How is the new submarine different from the first one? A. It is longer and taller than the first one. B.
