The passage will be read twice. 5% Reporters love writing about 1 : wake at four, run ten kilometres, read before breakfast. I spoke with thirty Shanghai scientists, athletes, artists and business owners and their answers were 2 : every big journey began with one short word — “Yes.” Dr. Wu, later winner of the International Physics Olympiad, almost skipped a dull middle-school debate, but he 3 , spoke for two minutes, and discovered he could turn messy thoughts into clear words. That tiny courage led him to ask professors for lab time and, finally, to lead his own laser project. Chen Ailin, now a chief engineer at COMAC, first got curious at sixteen when a delayed flight to Guangzhou left passengers complaining; 4 explained how headwinds burn extra fuel. Chen changed her major from accounting to aerospace, and today her new wing shape saves airlines millions of litres each year. Success is a chain reaction: say yes to a routine challenge, train a small mental muscle, and repeat. So next time 5 appears, ignore the voice that says, “Later.” Step forward and start your own chain. Ⅱ．Choices:20% 1. This man ________ in 1985. He ________ to be a sportsman when he ________ young. A. borns; wanted; was B. is born; wants; is C. was born; wanted; was D. was borned; wants; was 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个人出生于1985年。他年轻时想成为一名运动员。 第一空，表示“出生于1985年”，be born表示“出生”，描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时，应用was born；第二空，表示“年轻时想”，描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时，谓语动词应用过去式wanted；第三空，此处表示过去的状态，主语为“he”，be动词用was，应填was born；wanted；was。 2. —What ________ him? —He ________ a car accident and ________ his feet.

We will arrive ________ the airport at 7PM, but we won’t arrive ________ London until midnight, as we are traveling ________ weekdays. A. in, at, on B. in, at, at C. at, in, in D. at, in, on 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们将于晚上7点到达机场，但我们要到午夜才能到达伦敦，因为我们是在工作日出行。 at在（小地点）；in在（大地点）；on在（具体某天）。arrive at后接小地点，机场属于小地点；arrive in后接大地点，伦敦属于大地点；on weekdays为固定搭配，表示在工作日。根据介词用法以及固定搭配可知，应填at；in；on。 12.

A. friendly; friendship B. unfriendly; friendship C. unfriendly; friend D. friendly; friend 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：虽然起初他们对彼此表现出不友好的行为，但最终他们基于信任和理解建立了深厚的友谊。 friendly友好的，形容词；unfriendly不友好的，形容词；friend朋友，名词；friendship友谊，名词。根据连词Although可知前后句意存在转折关系，后半句表示建立了深厚的关系，为积极结果，因此第一空应填表示消极意义的unfriendly；第二空表示抽象的“友谊”关系，而非具体的“朋友”，应用名词friendship。 13.

Maybe Judy’s quick movement through the streets, or Nick’s toothy smile? For many Disney fans, this ____21____ is of a film they watched “not long ago.” No wonder quite a few experience a mild shock when they realize that the first Zootopia came out in 2016. So why is it that the city still feels ____22____ after the whole nine years? One reason is that the world of Zootopia has never really stopped growing. On screen, the story keeps expanding. The short series Zootopia+ returns to side characters and gives them their own small adventures. The sequel, Zootopia 2, goes even further. According to the filmmakers, the new film includes 178 characters ___23___ 67 species. There is a snake called Gary De’ Snake and a new area named Marsh Market, which is ____24____ to many semi-aquatic creatures. The map of the city is larger and more complex, but the main theme remains the same: very different animals trying to share one ____25____. At the same time, the city has quietly stepped off the screen. In 2023, Shanghai Disney Resort opened the first Zootopia-themed land in the world. Visitors can walk past colorful shops, read funny posters on the walls, and hear music that makes them feel as if they have entered the film. Designers did not simply copy every scene; they also created new corners of the city. Later, some of these ideas moved back into Zootopia 2, so the direction of influence became two-way: the film ____26____ the park, and the park helped shape the film. Beyond the cinema and the theme park, Zootopia keeps appearing in other forms. On a Disney cruise ship, guests can visit a sweets shop based on the movie. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a live show lets visitors meet the characters face to face. A steady range of toys, clothes and notebooks ____27____ images from the film into bedrooms, classrooms and daily routines. For fans, these objects are more than products. They are small ____28____ that the city still exists somewhere in their lives. This helps explain a common ____29____ to the sequel. When people hear that the first film is already nine years old, they are genuinely surprised. Their memory does not ____30____ the calendar. From their point of view, Zootopia has been here all along, changing shape and location but never truly disappearing. The city has stayed with them, and so time itself feels shorter than it really is. 21. A. memory B. dream C. story D. joke 22. A. strange B. familiar C. boring D. close 23. A. following B. drawing C. representing D. making 24. A. land B. park C. home D. zoo 25. A. place B. room C. house D. home 26. A. copied B. inspired C. stopped D. forgot 27. A. takes B. carries C. brings D. sends 28. A. letters B. prizes C. reminders D. presents 29. A. plan B. idea C. reaction D. habit 30. A. follow B. match C. beat D. catch 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 24. C 25. D 26. B 27. C 28. C 29. C 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了《疯狂动物城》系列电影为何在九年后仍让人感觉熟悉，分析了其世界扩展、主题乐园及周边产品对观众记忆的影响。 【21题详解】 句意：对许多迪士尼粉丝来说，这段记忆是关于一部他们“不久前”看过的电影。 根据前文“think of...what do you see first”及后文“watched”可知，此处指脑海中的回忆“memory”。其他选项与“回想看过电影”的语境不符。 【22题详解】 句意：那么为什么时隔整整九年之后，这座城市依旧让人感觉熟悉呢？ 根据前文“not long ago”及粉丝意识到时间后的“shock”可知，感觉应是很熟悉“familiar”。strange“奇怪的”、boring“无聊的”感情色彩不符，close“紧密的”语意不通。 【23题详解】 句意：据影片制作人员介绍，这部新电影包含来自67个物种的178个角色。 根据角色与物种的对应关系，角色代表“representing”物种。其他选项无法表达角色与物种的归属关系。 【24题详解】 句意：有一条名叫加里・德・蛇的蛇，还有一处名叫沼泽集市的全新区域，这里是许多半水生生物的家园。 “be home to”是固定搭配，意为“是……的家园/所在地”。其他选项无此固定搭配且语意不通。 【25题详解】 句意：这座城市的地图变得更大、更复杂，但核心主题依然不变：截然不同的动物们努力共享同一个家园。 根据主题“不同动物共存”，home“家园”比place“地方”更具情感色彩，指共同生活的家园。room“房间”、house“房子”空间太小，不符合城市语境。 【26题详解】 句意：后来，其中一部分创意又反哺运用到《疯狂动物城2》当中，于是影响变成双向的：电影启发了主题乐园，乐园反过来也助力塑造了电影。 根据“two-way”及后文“park helped shape the film”可知，电影是灵感“inspired”来源。其他选项不符合双向影响的逻辑。 【27题详解】 句意：源源不断的一系列玩具、服饰与笔记本把影片中的形象带入卧室、教室以及日常生活。 “bring... into...”意为“把……带入……”，符合语境。takes“带走”方向相反，carries“携带”、sends“发生”均不符。 【28题详解】 句意：它们是小小的提示物，提醒着粉丝，这座动物城仍然存在于他们生活的某个角落。 根据功能“表明城市仍存在”，reminders“提醒物”最符合。其他选项无法体现“让人想起”的功能。 【29题详解】 句意：这也有助于解释大家对于这部续集的一种普遍反应。 根据后文“surprised”可知，这是人们的反应“reaction”。其他选项不能概括“惊讶”这一行为。 【30题详解】 句意：他们的记忆并不吻合日历上的时间。 根据前文惊讶于时间之久，说明记忆与现实时间不匹配“match”。其他选项无法表达两者不一致的关系。 Ⅳ．Reading comprehension:15% （A） Larry was on another underwater expedition (探险) and he was very famous for it. But this time it was very different. He decided to bring his ten-year-old daughter with him. It was her first time to join her father in the underwater trip. Larry first started diving when he was as old as his daughter. Back then, his own father took him on a trip too. From then on, Larry was crazy about diving. At first, he rented diving suits from a small shop by the sea. He didn’t like them because they never fit well — they were either too big or too small. Also, the instructor only gave him a short lesson before letting him dive into the water with his father. This was quite unusual for him. A kid of his age wasn’t able to dive at all. They had to study for five hours and practice for another five hours with a teacher first. After that first trip, Larry’s diving adventures kept getting better and more exciting. There was never a dull moment. In his blue and black suit and with an oxygen tank (氧气罐) on his back, he dived from boats into the deep ocean. Dangerous places didn’t stop him from continuing his adventures. Sometimes he had to stay in a cage underwater, but it didn’t matter. He could still take pictures of the fish and other sea animals. Larry’s first expedition without his father was to the Cayman Islands. There were a number of diving spots in that area and Larry was determined to visit them all. Luckily, a kind man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he took. He saw more than thirty kinds of fish and sea animals there. Larry looked at his daughter. She looked just as excited as he was at her age. He hoped she loved diving as much as he did and could continue the family tradition. She already seemed braver than he was back then. And that, he thought, was the most important thing for a successful underwater adventure. 31. In what way was this expedition different for Larry? A. His daughter had grown up. B. He had become a famous diver. C. His father would dive with him. D. His daughter would dive with him. 32. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes? A. To protect himself from danger. B. To dive into the deeper water. C. To admire the underwater view. D. To take photos more conveniently. 33. What can be learned from the underlined sentence? A. Larry didn’t wear a watch. B. Larry was not good at maths. C. Larry had a poor memory. D. Larry enjoyed the adventure. 34. What did Larry expect his daughter to do? A. To become a successful diver. B. To make a good diving guide. C. To take a lot of photos underwater. D. To have longer hours of training. 35. Which of the following about Larry’s daughter is NOT true? A. She was only ten years old when she made her first underwater expedition. B. She was very excited about her first underwater expedition. C. She was much braver than he had been. D. She didn’t like diving because she was not experienced enough. 【答案】31. D 32. A 33. D 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Larry的水下探险经历。 【31题详解】 根据第一段“Larry was on another underwater expedition (探险), and he was very famous for it. But this time it was very different. He decided to bring his ten-year-old daughter with him.”可知，这直接说明这次探险的不同之处是他的女儿会和他一起潜水。 【32题详解】 根据第三段“Dangerous places didn’t stop him from continuing his adventures. Sometimes he had to stay in a cage underwater, but it didn’t matter.”可知，危险区域潜水时需要待在水下笼子，目的是保护自己免受危险伤害。 【33题详解】 根据第四段划线句“Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he took.”可知，这句话说明Larry沉浸在潜水之中，到了忘我的状态，能看出Larry很享受这次探险。 【34题详解】 根据最后一段“He hoped she loved diving as much as he did and could continue the family tradition.”可知，家族传统就是潜水，说明他希望女儿成为一名成功的潜水者。 【35题详解】 根据最后一段“She looked just as excited as he was at her age. She already seemed braver than he was back then.”可知，女儿对潜水很兴奋，并不是不喜欢潜水。D选项表述和原文不符。 （B） People often think their chances of winning the lottery (彩票) are higher than they actually are. In America, the lottery uses the phrase, “It could be you.” While that might be true in theory (理论上), to be completely honest it should really say: “It could be you, but it probably won’t be.” Not long ago, thousands of people from other states rushed into Pennsylvania. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. Each ticket cost only 90 cents, but that small amount offered the possibility of winning $90 million. It was the second largest lottery prize in history ever. For that huge lottery prize, people bought more than 87 million tickets. They had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of winning was just 1 in 9.6 million, but that little chance still didn’t stop people from buying tickets. In the last few days before the lottery draw (抽奖), people were buying tickets at an amazing speed of 500 per second. Experts say many people see lotteries as a form of legal gambling (赌博). Some critics point out that most players are poor and may struggle to afford tickets. There are also serious addicts (成瘾者) who focus too much on the game. They may spend all their savings on lottery tickets. A few clubs have even started to help these people get rid of the habit. Politicians support lotteries because they provide money for government departments. The profits from lotteries usually go toward education or programs for the old. But critics argue that this is just a way for states to make gambling acceptable by calling it “social progress.” Whether you think lotteries are right or wrong, you cannot refuse to accept their popularity with many Americans. 36. There is ________ chance to win the lottery for most of the people. A. often a B. little C. a big D. a good 37. In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling ________. A. $1.62 million B. $1.82 million C. $9.6million D. $87 million 38. People who are addicted to (痴迷) playing lotteries should ________. A. join a support group B. get rid of the habit C. win the lottery D. save every cent 39. The main idea of the passage is that ________. A. lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys them B. playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market C. many people buy lottery tickets, but lotteries cause disagreement D. lotteries are nothing but legalized evils 40. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Politicians don’t like lotteries because they like to pay extra taxes. B. The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress. C. Some critics don’t like lotteries because many poor people waste money on them. D. People love the lottery because it is a stock market. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. B 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了美国彩票受欢迎的现象、极低的中奖几率、引发的社会争议（批评者与政治家的不同观点）以及其不可否认的流行度。 【36题详解】 根据第三段第三句“The chance of winning was just 1 in 9.6 million…”可知，中奖几率仅为九百六十万分之一，几率非常小。 【37题详解】 根据第二段第三句“Each ticket cost only 90 cents…”和第三段第四句“…people were buying tickets at an amazing speed of 500 per second”可知，每张彩票90美分（0.9美元），每秒钟出售500张彩票，1小时为3600秒（60×60=3600），0.9×500×3600=1620000，一小时销售额为1620000美元，即$1.62 million。 【38题详解】 根据第四段最后一句“A few clubs have even started to help these people get rid of the habit.”可知，俱乐部帮助成瘾者戒掉这个习惯。 【39题详解】 根据第五段第四句“Whether you think lotteries are right or wrong, you cannot refuse to accept their popularity with many Americans.”可知，文章主要讲述了彩票虽然引发争议但非常流行。 【40题详解】 根据第四段第二句“Some critics point out that most players are poor and may struggle to afford tickets.”可知，批评者认为大多数玩家是穷人且难以负担，即穷人会在彩票上浪费钱。 （C） Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans-a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology (宇宙学). As he himself admitted, he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks. It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable (不可治愈的) illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23. At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed, I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research and worked at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believed that his story showed that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.” Please answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences: 41. Did Hawking work hard at school and always come top of his class? __________________________________________________________________________ 42. How serious is the motor neurons disease? __________________________________________________________________________ 43. What was Stephen Hawking by profession? __________________________________________________________________________ 44.

The passage will be read twice. 5% Reporters love writing about 1 : wake at four, run ten kilometres, read before breakfast. I spoke with thirty Shanghai scientists, athletes, artists and business owners and their answers were 2 : every big journey began with one short word — “Yes.” Dr. Wu, later winner of the International Physics Olympiad, almost skipped a dull middle-school debate, but he 3 , spoke for two minutes, and discovered he could turn messy thoughts into clear words. That tiny courage led him to ask professors for lab time and, finally, to lead his own laser project. Chen Ailin, now a chief engineer at COMAC, first got curious at sixteen when a delayed flight to Guangzhou left passengers complaining; 4 explained how headwinds burn extra fuel. Chen changed her major from accounting to aerospace, and today her new wing shape saves airlines millions of litres each year.

Visitors can walk past colorful shops, read funny posters on the walls, and hear music that makes them feel as if they have entered the film. Designers did not simply copy every scene; they also created new corners of the city.

He decided to bring his ten-year-old daughter with him. It was her first time to join her father in the underwater trip. Larry first started diving when he was as old as his daughter. Back then, his own father took him on a trip too. From then on, Larry was crazy about diving. At first, he rented diving suits from a small shop by the sea. He didn’t like them because they never fit well — they were either too big or too small. Also, the instructor only gave him a short lesson before letting him dive into the water with his father. This was quite unusual for him. A kid of his age wasn’t able to dive at all. They had to study for five hours and practice for another five hours with a teacher first. After that first trip, Larry’s diving adventures kept getting better and more exciting. There was never a dull moment. In his blue and black suit and with an oxygen tank (氧气罐) on his back, he dived from boats into the deep ocean. Dangerous places didn’t stop him from continuing his adventures. Sometimes he had to stay in a cage underwater, but it didn’t matter. He could still take pictures of the fish and other sea animals. Larry’s first expedition without his father was to the Cayman Islands. There were a number of diving spots in that area and Larry was determined to visit them all. Luckily, a kind man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he took. He saw more than thirty kinds of fish and sea animals there. Larry looked at his daughter. She looked just as excited as he was at her age. He hoped she loved diving as much as he did and could continue the family tradition. She already seemed braver than he was back then. And that, he thought, was the most important thing for a successful underwater adventure. 31. In what way was this expedition different for Larry? A. His daughter had grown up. B.

In America, the lottery uses the phrase, “It could be you.” While that might be true in theory (理论上), to be completely honest it should really say: “It could be you, but it probably won’t be.” Not long ago, thousands of people from other states rushed into Pennsylvania. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. Each ticket cost only 90 cents, but that small amount offered the possibility of winning $90 million. It was the second largest lottery prize in history ever. For that huge lottery prize, people bought more than 87 million tickets. They had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of winning was just 1 in 9.6 million, but that little chance still didn’t stop people from buying tickets. In the last few days before the lottery draw (抽奖), people were buying tickets at an amazing speed of 500 per second. Experts say many people see lotteries as a form of legal gambling (赌博). Some critics point out that most players are poor and may struggle to afford tickets. There are also serious addicts (成瘾者) who focus too much on the game. They may spend all their savings on lottery tickets. A few clubs have even started to help these people get rid of the habit. Politicians support lotteries because they provide money for government departments. The profits from lotteries usually go toward education or programs for the old. But critics argue that this is just a way for states to make gambling acceptable by calling it “social progress.” Whether you think lotteries are right or wrong, you cannot refuse to accept their popularity with many Americans. 36.

Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Politicians don’t like lotteries because they like to pay extra taxes. B. The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress. C. Some critics don’t like lotteries because many poor people waste money on them. D. People love the lottery because it is a stock market. （C） Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans-a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology (宇宙学). As he himself admitted, he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks. It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable (不可治愈的) illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23. At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed, I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research and worked at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believed that his story showed that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.” Please answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences: 41.
