Lots of shops and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY. English people like DIY. There is a saying in the UK—“An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Many people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles” .

More and more people have found the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular. DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture (家具) which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it difficult to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are easy and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing for sure is that, though most DIY jobs are started with the best intentions (意图) many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical (带电的) should be done by a professional (专业的) worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230, 000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41, 000 who fell off ladders. Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew (嚼). Maybe companies should make things that are easier and safer for us to DIY. 24. British people can often enjoy programmes about DIY on ________ . A. the radio B. TV C. the Internet D. the map 25.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了DIY（自己动手做）在英国的流行情况、英国人喜欢DIY的原因、DIY存在的困难和危险，以及对DIY的相关思考。 【24题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“TV programmes show people how to DIY.”可知，英国人可以在电视上观看DIY相关的节目。 【25题详解】 根据第二段第三句“Many people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful‘castles’.”可知，很多英国人假期会把自己的家装扮得更漂亮。 【26题详解】 根据第二段中“More and more people have found the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money.”可知，英国人喜欢DIY是因为它能带来乐趣，还能省钱。 【27题详解】 根据第三段“DIY can also be dangerous…Unluckily, many people don’t care about this and put themselves in danger.”以及英国每年有大量人做DIY时受伤的例子，可以推断出做DIY时要小心注意安全。 【28题详解】 画线句“bite off more than we can chew”的字面意思是“咬下超过自己能咀嚼的量”，结合前文“DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be”可知，这句话在这里引申为“做了超出自己能力范围的、太难的事”。 C When I was little, I was really little. But I dreamed of being a basketball player. But I was never given a chance to join the school team. As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa, “I’m going to be a player.” “Dave,” Grandpa said gently, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.” I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I added one more mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles. 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it — 17 miles on my 17th birthday. All this running inspired (激发) another big dream — Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon. I went there. I ran fast that day, but I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to hospital. I called Grandpa and told him I failed. “No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You learned that ________. If you train hard, I promise to cheer you on next year.” I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him. That day, I ran fast. “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I made each painful (痛苦的) step, till I crossed the finish line. 29. Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team? A. Because he was too young. B.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者因身材矮小无法加入篮球队，在爷爷鼓励下投身跑步运动，历经失败与亲人离世，最终完成马拉松梦想的故事，探讨了梦想与坚持的核心主题。 【29题详解】 第二段“As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger.”以及第三段爷爷说的“if you can’t be big, you can do something big.”可以看出Dave没能进校篮球队是因为身高不够。 【30题详解】 第七段爷爷后面说“If you train hard, I promise to cheer you on next year.”说明爷爷想表达梦想需要努力付出。A、C是消极否定；D表达只需要等待，不用努力，不符合文意。B“远大梦想不会凭空而来，它们需要付出努力”符合语境。 【31题详解】 全文围绕“big dream”展开，爷爷的话“if you can’t be big, you can do something big”是文章主旨，“Dream Big”最适合做标题。 D The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics surprisingly didn’t go to a typical physicist, instead, to two pioneers in machine learning: John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton. What they did was to use principles from physics to make discoveries in machine learning, which pushed the development of Al. This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough (突破). ________ In simple terms, cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject. It means being curious and open to ideas from different fields—whether it’s science, art, history or technology—and using that knowledge to improve our own understanding. Cross-disciplinary learning is nothing new. We have seen many examples over the centuries. Even the ancient Greeks practiced it. They believed that music, math and astronomy (天文学) were interconnected. This helped them make groundbreaking discoveries. Great minds like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton and Zhang Heng gave us amazing and influential creations because they were inventors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers and more, all at the same time. These inventors used knowledge from many different fields. As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies. They hope that by drawing from multiple areas, students can contribute to different fields and make a meaningful influence. Cross-disciplinary learning can help you gain new opinions, find creative solutions and, most importantly, better prepare you to deal with the complex challenges of tomorrow. You never know where inspiration (灵感) might come from. Sometimes the best ideas are found in the most unexpected places. So, go ahead, mix it up, learn from everything, and see how far it takes you! 32. Which sentence should go into ________ in Paragraph 1? A. It’s cross-disciplinary learning at its best. B. This means AI is the new start of physics. C. The award brings attention to machine learning. D. The breakthrough is cross-disciplinary learning. 33. What can we learn about cross-disciplinary learning from the passage? A. It was first created and practiced by ancient Greeks. B. It helps find out where your inspiration come from. C. It means being open to science, art, history and technology. D. It contributes to thinking beyond the boundaries of a subject. 34. Why does the writer mention great minds in Paragraph 4? A. To show how clever they were. B. To tell how they made inventions. C. To explain why schools push cross-disciplinary learning. D. To introduce how cross-disciplinary learning developed. 35. Which of the four students is practicing cross-disciplinary learning? A. Chen Xi does physics homework in a geography class. B. Zhang Jia uses math knowledge to solve a biology problem. C. Wang Yi introduces paper-cutting to exchange students in English. D. Li Na likes to listen to music while doing a chemistry experiment. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍跨学科学习。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough (突破).”可知，这是一个将不同学科中的观点融合在一起从而取得突破的绝佳范例，此处说的是跨学科学习的最佳状态。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject.

And they get the name because there is a slash between their job titles (头衔). Being a slashie has become many young Chinese people’s preferred (更喜爱的) choice of work. A study of nearly 2,000 people aged between 18 and 35 by the newspaper China Youth Daily found that 52.3% of the young people said they have friends who are slashies. Another report shows that the number of slashies in China has reached 80 million. What are the differences between slashies and common workers? Some people take up several jobs to make a living, some try to turn their hobbies into jobs, and others believe that they can learn more skills by doing different jobs. Being a slashie also makes one’s life more stable (稳定的). Some companies prefer hiring a person who is a slashie. They believe the person is creative and hard-working. And as a slashie, of course the person can make more money. At the same time, losing one’s job does not mean losing all one’s pay. If you have other interests besides your job, becoming a slashie may work for you. 41. Who are slashies? ________________________________________________ 42. Why do slashies get the name? ________________________________________________ 43. How many slashies are there in China according to the study? ________________________________________________ 44.

The headdress is known as zanhua or zanhuawei. In 2008, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). As a child, Huang Rongbing watched his mother, Wen Xiuzhen, comb (梳理) her long and thick hair every day.” After making a bun (圆发髻) at the back of her head, she put colourful flowers into her hair,” the 34-year-old said. In 2016, Huang and his elder sister opened a salon (美发厅). There, visitors can get their hair styled in the Xunpu traditional style and have their photos taken.Now, there are over 200 similar businesses in the centuries-old village. People flood into Xunpu for zanhua. They love matching it with Chinese-style clothes such as qipao and mamianqun. The increase in the number of tourists brings joy to Huang. It not only keeps the business busy but also helps spread the history and culture behind the headdress. Huang said the women of Xunpu are hard-working, warm-hearted and brave.”When they put zanhua on their heads, they express their wish for happiness,” he added. 21. How does the writer start the article? A. By explaining a word B. By giving a saying C. By raising a question D. By telling a story 22. What can we learn about Xunpu? A. It’s a small city in Fujian. B. It’s popular among tourists. C. It’s famous for its flowers. D. It has a short history. 23. Where can you probably read the passage? A. In a storybook. B. In a history textbook. C. In a science report. D. In a cultural magazine. B DIY, which means “Do It Yourself”, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of shops and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY. English people like DIY. There is a saying in the UK—“An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Many people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles” . If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have found the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular. DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture (家具) which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it difficult to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are easy and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing for sure is that, though most DIY jobs are started with the best intentions (意图) many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical (带电的) should be done by a professional (专业的) worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230, 000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41, 000 who fell off ladders. Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew (嚼). Maybe companies should make things that are easier and safer for us to DIY. 24. British people can often enjoy programmes about DIY on ________ . A. the radio B. TV C. the Internet D. the map 25. How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage? A. Making their homes beautiful. B. Visiting their friends. C. Traveling all over the world. D. Making a lot of money. 26. Why do English people like DIY? A. Many stores sell DIY things. B. DIY can bring them fun. C. TV programmes teach them to DIY. D. All DIY things are easy. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. DIY can’t save any money. B. It is always difficult to DIY. C. We should be careful while doing DIY. D. It is very safe for us to DIY. 28. In the last paragraph, the underlined sentence probably means ________ . A. we can eat everything we like B. we should do something too difficult C. we do something that is too difficult D. we eat too much food that is not safe C When I was little, I was really little. But I dreamed of being a basketball player. But I was never given a chance to join the school team. As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa, “I’m going to be a player.” “Dave,” Grandpa said gently, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.” I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I added one more mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles. 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it — 17 miles on my 17th birthday. All this running inspired (激发) another big dream — Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon. I went there. I ran fast that day, but I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to hospital. I called Grandpa and told him I failed. “No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You learned that ________. If you train hard, I promise to cheer you on next year.” I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him. That day, I ran fast. “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I made each painful (痛苦的) step, till I crossed the finish line. 29. Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team? A. Because he was too young. B. Because he couldn’t run fast. C. Because he didn’t work hard. D. Because he was not tall enough. 30. Which sentence may be filled in “________” ? A. you are too small to finish the marathon B. big dreams don’t just come, they need work C. running a marathon is a little too big for you D. just wait and big dreams are waiting for you 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Dream Big B. The Story of Grandpa C. The Boston Marathon D. Dream of Being a Basketball Player D The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics surprisingly didn’t go to a typical physicist, instead, to two pioneers in machine learning: John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton. What they did was to use principles from physics to make discoveries in machine learning, which pushed the development of Al. This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough (突破). ________ In simple terms, cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject. It means being curious and open to ideas from different fields—whether it’s science, art, history or technology—and using that knowledge to improve our own understanding. Cross-disciplinary learning is nothing new. We have seen many examples over the centuries. Even the ancient Greeks practiced it. They believed that music, math and astronomy (天文学) were interconnected. This helped them make groundbreaking discoveries. Great minds like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton and Zhang Heng gave us amazing and influential creations because they were inventors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers and more, all at the same time. These inventors used knowledge from many different fields. As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies. They hope that by drawing from multiple areas, students can contribute to different fields and make a meaningful influence. Cross-disciplinary learning can help you gain new opinions, find creative solutions and, most importantly, better prepare you to deal with the complex challenges of tomorrow. You never know where inspiration (灵感) might come from. Sometimes the best ideas are found in the most unexpected places. So, go ahead, mix it up, learn from everything, and see how far it takes you! 32. Which sentence should go into ________ in Paragraph 1? A. It’s cross-disciplinary learning at its best. B. This means AI is the new start of physics. C. The award brings attention to machine learning. D. The breakthrough is cross-disciplinary learning. 33. What can we learn about cross-disciplinary learning from the passage? A. It was first created and practiced by ancient Greeks. B. It helps find out where your inspiration come from. C. It means being open to science, art, history and technology. D. It contributes to thinking beyond the boundaries of a subject. 34. Why does the writer mention great minds in Paragraph 4? A. To show how clever they were. B. To tell how they made inventions. C. To explain why schools push cross-disciplinary learning. D. To introduce how cross-disciplinary learning developed. 35. Which of the four students is practicing cross-disciplinary learning? A. Chen Xi does physics homework in a geography class. B. Zhang Jia uses math knowledge to solve a biology problem. C. Wang Yi introduces paper-cutting to exchange students in English. D. Li Na likes to listen to music while doing a chemistry experiment. 四、信息还原 What is DIY? Why do many people like it?

Slashies are people who do more than one job. They usually use the time off from one job to work on projects for other jobs. And they get the name because there is a slash between their job titles (头衔). Being a slashie has become many young Chinese people’s preferred (更喜爱的) choice of work. A study of nearly 2,000 people aged between 18 and 35 by the newspaper China Youth Daily found that 52.3% of the young people said they have friends who are slashies. Another report shows that the number of slashies in China has reached 80 million. What are the differences between slashies and common workers? Some people take up several jobs to make a living, some try to turn their hobbies into jobs, and others believe that they can learn more skills by doing different jobs. Being a slashie also makes one’s life more stable (稳定的). Some companies prefer hiring a person who is a slashie. They believe the person is creative and hard-working. And as a slashie, of course the person can make more money. At the same time, losing one’s job does not mean losing all one’s pay.
