Many great inventions may never come true if people don’t have this wonderful ability. Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents (天赋). I am just very curious.” Curiosity can bring new discoveries. It encourages people to explore and discover new things. Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He showed great interest in electricity (电力) and had a deep curiosity about its nature. He did a lot to understand it. For example, he flew a kite in a heavy storm. His curiosity finally helped him to invent the lightning rod, which can protect buildings from lightning. Curiosity can also make people brave enough to try new things. Just look at Wan Hu, a man in the Ming Dynasty, who was quite curious about the unknown space. He wanted to fly into the sky so much that he invented a “flying chair”. He made forty-seven rockets () himself and put them on his flying chair. Unluckily, he lost his life while testing his invention. Although his try didn’t succeed, his curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learned from his example, and created safer ways to explore space. A mountain on the moon was named Wan Hu so that people won’t forget the great pioneer in space travel. Curiosity also drives people to their goals. Zhang Heng, a famous Chinese scientist and inventor, was curious about the world: How did everything in the world move? He spent years studying the sky and the earth. Finally, he drew China’s first star map, and invented the world’s first earthquake detector. His curiosity still affects (影响) modern scientists today. Just as Jacques Cousteau said, “What is a scientist after all? It’s a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.” Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world. 21．What can we learn about Benjamin Franklin from the article? A．He flew kites just for fun on rainy days. B．He studied the sky and the earth all his life. C．He invented the first star map in the world. D．His curiosity helped him to make a useful invention. 22．Why is a mountain on the moon named Wan Hu? A．He flew into space with his flying chair. B．He found many new things on the moon. C．He created the safest way to travel to space. D．People hoped to remember him as a space travel pioneer. 23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A．Scientists are the keyhole of nature. B．Zhang Heng invented the first earthquake detector. C．All great inventions come from dangerous adventures. D．Einstein was curious and also had many special talents. 24．Whose invention process (过程) is dangerous? A．Albert Einstein’s. B．Benjamin Franklin’s. C．Wan Hu’s. D．Zhang Heng’s. 25．What does the article mainly talk about? A．The unknown space. B．The importance of hard working. C．The power of curiosity. D．Famous scientists and their inventions. 【答案】21．D 22．D 23．B 24．C 25．C 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕好奇心展开，介绍了好奇心在日常生活中的重要作用，通过本杰明・富兰克林、万户、张衡三位中外人物的事例，展现好奇心推动探索与发明的力量，最终点明好奇心是帮助我们探索新世界的关键。 21．根据第二段“His curiosity finally helped him to invent the lightning rod, which can protect buildings from lightning.”可知，富兰克林的好奇心帮他做出了避雷针这一实用发明。 22．根据第三段“A mountain on the moon was named Wan Hu so that people won’t forget the great pioneer in space travel.”可知，以万户命名月球山峰，是为了让人们铭记这位太空探索先驱。 23．根据第四段“Finally, he drew China’s first star map, and invented the world’s first earthquake detector.”可知张衡发明了世界上第一台地动仪。 24．根据第三段“Unluckily, he lost his life while testing his invention.”可知，万户在测试发明时失去生命，他的发明试验过程十分危险。 25．通读全文可知，从开篇点明好奇心很有用，再用多个事例论证好奇心推动发现、探索、达成目标，结尾重申好奇心是开启新世界大门的关键，核心讲好奇心的力量与重要性。 B China sent off its youngest-ever team for its space station on October 26, 2023. It is part of the country’s plan to put astronauts on the moon before 2030. The China Manned Space Agency said the average age of the three-member team is the youngest since the launch of the space station construction mission. Their average age is 38. The three astronauts are Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin. They replaced the team that had been on the station for five months. The new team performed experiments in space medicine, space technology and other areas during their stay. And they helped to place and do possible repairs to equipment (设备) inside and outside the station. In 2022, the Chinese government built its own space station after it was not permitted to join the International Space Station. The Americans worried that the Chinese space programme was under the control of the People’s Liberation Army. China’s first manned space mission in 2003 made it the third country after the former Soviet Union and the USA to put a person into space using its own resources. Although the American space programme is believed to be ahead of China at this time, China made some important steps. They include bringing back samples (样本) from the moon’s surface for the first time and landing a vehicle on the less explored far side of the moon. The USA,meanwhile, aims to put astronauts back on the moon’s surface. In addition to their moon programmes, the two countries have also independently (独立地) sent vehicles on Mars. And China plans to land a spacecraft on an asteroid (小行星). 26．When does China plan to put astronauts on the moon? A．Before 2030. B．Before 2025. C．Before 2040. D．Before 2050. 27．What can we learn about the three astronauts? A．They stayed at the station for five months. B．They did experiments in different areas. C．They are the youngest astronauts at the age of 38. D．They used the equipment to repair the station. 28．Why did China build its own space station? A．China was controlled by the American space programme. B．China wanted to challenge the USA in space exploration. C．China wanted to have control over the American space programme. D．China was not allowed to join the International Space Station. 29．Which is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．China landed a vehicle on the far side of the moon. B．China brought back samples from the moon's surface. C．China has taken important steps in space exploration. D．China will put astronauts on the moon's surface before 2030. 30．What have both the USA and China achieved in their space programmes? A．They have landed vehicles on Mars independently. B．They have built a joint International Space Station. C．They have landed a spacecraft on an asteroid. D．They have landed their first manned spacecraft on the moon. 【答案】26．A 27．B 28．D 29．C 30．A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了中国航天团队、空间站建设以及中美航天领域的发展与成就。 26．根据第一段第二句“It is part of the country’s plan to put astronauts on the moon before 2030.”可知，中国计划在2030年前将宇航员送上月球。 27．根据第二段第五句“The new team performed experiments in space medicine, space technology and other areas during their stay.”可知，三位宇航员在不同领域做了实验。 43．根据第三段第一句“In 2022, the Chinese government built its own space station after it was not permitted to join the International Space Station.”可知，中国被禁止加入国际空间站，所以建造了自己的空间站。 28．第五段主要讲述中国在太空探索方面采取了一些重要步骤，包括首次从月球表面带回样本、在月球远侧着陆等。 30．根据最后一段第一句“In addition to their moon programmes, the two countries have also independently sent vehicles on Mars.”可知，美国和中国都独立在火星上着陆了探测器。 C We all enjoy music, but have you ever wondered what happens inside your brain and body when you listen to your favourite song? Science can help us understand the powerful effects of music. Music influences your brain. Scientists have found that listening to music releases (释放) a chemical called dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is often called the “feel-good” chemical because it makes you feel happy and rewarded. This is the same chemical that is released when you eat your favourite food or win a game. Music can change your physical state. Have you noticed your foot tapping to a beat? This is because music can influence your heart and breath. Fast music with a strong beat can make your heart beat faster and increase your energy levels, which is why it’s perfect for exercise. On the other hand, slow and quiet music with a simple melody (旋律) can help slow down your heart rate and relax your muscles, reducing feelings of stress. A French researcher, Dr Alfred A．Tomatis, proposed (提出) the “Mozart Effect”, which suggests that listening to classical music might temporarily (暂时地) improve your ability to focus and solve difficult problems. While it won’t make you smarter, many students find that listening to some music while studying helps them focus better and block out noises that distract them. In conclusion, music is not just an art; it’s also a science. It can chemically improve your happiness, physically change your body’s rhythms, and sharpen your mental focus. The next time you press play, remember that there’s a lot of interesting science working to create those wonderful feelings. 31．What is dopamine? A．It’s the name of a kind of good feeling. B．It’s a chemical that makes people feel happy. C．It’s the rhythm of a piece of beautiful music. D．It’s a kind of machine used by the scientists. 32．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Fast music with a strong beat is suitable for sports. B．Listening to some music is good for people’s hearts. C．Whether the music is fast or slow depends on the beats. D．Music that is soft and quiet is more welcomed by people. 33．According to the “Mozart Effect”, in which situation can classical music help you? A．You need to focus on your homework. B．You feel sad and need to be cheered up. C．You are doing exercise and need energy. D．You want to relax and fall asleep quickly. 34．What does the underlined word “distract” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Develop one’s interest. B．Change one’s mind. C．Draw one’s attention away. D．Influence one’s health condition. 35．Which is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】31．B 32．A 33．A 34．C 35．D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，核心介绍了音乐对人体的科学作用，分别从音乐影响大脑情绪、改变身体状态、提升专注力三个角度展开说明，最后总结音乐兼具艺术性与科学性。 31．根据文章第2段“Dopamine is often called the “feel-good” chemical because it makes you feel happy and rewarded.”可知，多巴胺是一种能让人产生愉悦感的化学物质。 32．根据文章第3段“Fast music with a strong beat can make your heart beat faster and increase your energy levels, which is why it’s perfect for exercise.”可知，节奏强烈的快音乐适合运动。 33．根据文章第4段“the “Mozart Effect”, which suggests that listening to classical music might temporarily improve your ability to focus and solve difficult problems”可知，莫扎特效应指出古典音乐能提升专注力，在需要专注完成作业时可以发挥作用。 34．根据文章第4段“many students find that listening to some music while studying helps them focus better and block out noises that distract them.”可推知，学习时听音乐能帮助人更专注，阻挡会分散注意力的噪音，因此distract的含义是“转移某人的注意力”。 35．文章第1段总起，引出“音乐对人体有强大作用，可通过科学解释”的主题；第2、3、4段分别从音乐对大脑的影响、对身体状态的改变、对专注力的提升三个角度具体说明；第5段总结全文，点明音乐兼具艺术与科学属性，属于“总-分-总”结构，与选项D的结构图示一致。 D ①Have you read Harry Potter? Fans of the Harry Potter books will know Quidditch (魁地奇), the magical sport where players fly around on broomsticks (扫帚柄). But do you know that the game is in the real world, too? ②It’s called quadball (魁地球/四球), and it first began back in 2005, when American college students decided to create their own, real-life version of Quidditch. More and more people started playing the game, with countries all over the world making their own teams. ③The rules of quadball are very similar to those of Quidditch. Although players don’t fly in the sky on broomsticks like in the books, they must play with a “broomstick”—usually a wooden stick—between their legs at all times. ④And like Quidditch, there are four forms of players on a quadball team. The Chasers (追球手) try to score goals by throwing volleyballs through the opposite team’s hoops (球门环), and the Keepers try to stop goals from being scored. The Beaters throw balls at other players. If a player is hit, he has to drop any ball he is carrying and run back to his own hoop. And the Seeker (找球手), which was the position that Harry Potter played in the books, has to find the Golden Snitch (金色飞贼). In the books, the Snitch was a small, gold ball that flew around the field. But in quadball, the Snitch is a person—the Flag Runner, a fair player who runs around the field with a flag tied to his back. If a Seeker catches the Flag Runner’s flag, his team gets 30 points and the game ends. ⑤Quadball is an exciting sport to watch and even more exciting to play. In 2012, the world’s first Quadball World Cup was held. However, after its name change, quadball seemed to lose its magic and fall into trouble. Because of various reasons, it failed to successfully enter the Quadball World Cup to be held in 2024. People have a great love for the world full of magic, so there are still countless people who hope this sport can develop better. 36．Why did the writer mention Quidditch in Harry Potter in the first paragraph? A．To give an example. B．To make a comparison. C．To tell people the truth. D．To catch people’s attention. 37．Which paragraph shows the development of quadball? A．Paragraph 2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Paragraph 5. 38．What is the difference between quadball and Quidditch? A．There aren’t many fans in quadball. B．There isn’t a Snitch in quadball. C．People don’t fly in the sky in quadball. D．People don’t use a broomstick in quadball. 39．What can we learn about quadball from Paragraph 4? A．The Beaters can only throw balls at the Keepers. B．The Seeker must fly around in the sky on broomsticks. C．The Flag Runner should run around the field with a flag. D．The Chasers need to throw basketballs through the hoops. 40．Who will most probably be interested in this passage? A．Technology fans. B．Sports lovers. C．History researchers. D．Book sellers. 【答案】36．D 37．A 38．C 39．C 40．B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了现实生活中的“魁地球”运动，包括其起源、规则、与小说中魁地奇的区别以及发展现状。 36．根据文章第一段中“Have you read Harry Potter?... But do you know that the game is in the real world, too?”可推知作者通过提及小说内容并提问，旨在引起读者的兴趣和注意。 37．根据文章第二段中“It’s called quadball (魁地球/四球)... it first began back in 2005... More and more people started playing the game...”可推知该段主要讲述了魁地球运动的起源及在世界范围内的发展过程。 38．根据文章第三段中“Although players don’t fly in the sky on broomsticks like in the books...”可推知现实中的魁地球玩家不像书中那样在天上飞，这是两者的主要区别。 39．根据文章第四段中“the Flag Runner, a fair player who runs around the field with a flag tied to his back.”可推知持旗手需要背着旗帜在场上奔跑，符合选项描述。 40．根据文章第五段中“Quadball is an exciting sport to watch and even more exciting to play.”可推知文章介绍的是一项体育运动，因此体育爱好者最可能对此感兴趣。 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Chinese festivals are an important part of Chinese culture.

An international team found the artifacts at Marathousa 1 in Greece, where wet conditions helped wood 51 . The two objects, dated to about 430,000 years ago, were not random sticks. Microscopic study showed marks from chopping and carving, which 52 that people had deliberately shaped them. The discovery matters because wood usually 53 long before archaeologists can study it. Stone tools survive more easily, so they often give an incomplete   54 of ancient technology. One object, made from alder, may have been used for digging near the lakeshore or stripping bark. Another smaller piece of willow or poplar also showed signs of human 55 . The site tells a wider story. Stone tools and animal remains suggest early humans used the area for butchering prey near an ancient lake. A larger wood fragment had grooves, but researchers concluded they were made by a large carnivore, possibly a bear, rather than by people. That detail 56 a dangerous environment in which humans and predators may have competed for 57 . For scientists, the find pushes back evidence of hand-held wooden tool use by at least 40,000 years. It also shows that early humans were not limited to stone. They selected plants, shaped materials and solved practical problems with 58 . Because such evidence is rare, researchers had to 59 each mark carefully. Some marks were human-made, while others came from animals; telling the difference required 60 comparison. Without microscopes and teamwork, the wood might have been 61 as ordinary fragments.

I was 66 (deep) attracted by the secret universe. My first dream was to be 67 astronaut. Few people knew how hard the journey would be. My parents worried that the training for space‑travellers was really difficult. Still, I never gave up my dream. I kept reading books about planets and the space station in my free time. At 16, I took part in a city‑level space camp. There I experienced real astronauts’ daily training. I learnt that taikonauts must stay calm both in strong shaking and a 68 (weight) environment. Once I nearly gave up after a long‑time anti‑gravity practice. 69 the words from a space hero encouraged me 70 (move) on. Years passed. I kept making my body strong and studied space‑science knowledge every day. I knew every small step would bring me closer 71 space. Last summer, I got the chance to visit the national space centre. When I saw the real spaceship, my eyes 72 (fill) with tears. The guide told us human beings 73 (send) many machines to explore Mars so far. More young people are drawn into space research. Now I understand exploring the universe is never a lonely journey. We young dreamers are carrying the future of space 74 (explore). I will not waste any chance to improve 75 (I). Even if I cannot fly into space one day, my love for the outer world will never fade away. 【答案】66．deeply 67．an 68．weightless 69．But 70．to move 71．to 72．were filled 73．have sent 74．exploration 75．myself 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者怀揣着探索宇宙的梦想，为成为一名太空旅行者/宇航员坚持不懈地努力，逐步接近自己的太空探索理想的经历。 66．句意：我被这个神秘的宇宙深深吸引。此处修饰动词“attracted”，要用副词，deep的副词形式是deeply，意为“深深地”。 67．句意：我的第一个梦想是成为一名宇航员。此处表示泛指“一名宇航员”，astronaut是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。 68．句意：我了解到中国宇航员必须在剧烈震动和失重环境中都保持冷静。此处修饰名词“environment”，结合语境“太空环境”可知是“失重的”，weight的形容词形式weightless表示“失重的”。 69．句意：但一位航天英雄的话鼓励我继续前进。前文提到曾差点放弃，后文说太空英雄的话鼓励了“我”，前后是转折关系，句首单词首字母大写，所以用But。 70．句意：但一位航天英雄的话鼓励我继续前进。encourage sb to do sth意为“鼓励某人做某事”，所以此处用动词不定式to move。 71．句意：我知道每一小步都将让我离太空更近。bring sb close to...意为“让某人靠近……”，所以此处用介词to。 72．句意：当我看到真正的宇宙飞船时，我的眼中充满了泪水。主语“my eyes”和动词fill是被动关系，描述过去的事，要用一般过去时的被动语态，结构为“were + 过去分词”，主语是复数，所以用were filled。 73．句意：导游告诉我们，迄今为止人类已经发射了许多探测器来探索火星。句中时间状语“so far”（到目前为止）是现在完成时的标志，结构为“have/has + 过去分词”，主语“human beings”是复数，所以用have sent。 74．句意：我们这些年轻的追梦人肩负着太空探索的未来。此处表示“太空探索”，space后需要名词，explore的名词形式是exploration，为不可数名词。 75．句意：我不会浪费任何机会去提升自己。此处表示“提升我自己”，主语是I，对应的反身代词是myself，作improve的宾语。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 情境运用（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据所提供的图片，用一个完整的句子完成情境交际。 76．A: Cool! ________________________________?

Many great inventions may never come true if people don’t have this wonderful ability. Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents (天赋). I am just very curious.” Curiosity can bring new discoveries. It encourages people to explore and discover new things. Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He showed great interest in electricity (电力) and had a deep curiosity about its nature. He did a lot to understand it. For example, he flew a kite in a heavy storm. His curiosity finally helped him to invent the lightning rod, which can protect buildings from lightning. Curiosity can also make people brave enough to try new things. Just look at Wan Hu, a man in the Ming Dynasty, who was quite curious about the unknown space. He wanted to fly into the sky so much that he invented a “flying chair”. He made forty-seven rockets () himself and put them on his flying chair. Unluckily, he lost his life while testing his invention. Although his try didn’t succeed, his curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learned from his example, and created safer ways to explore space. A mountain on the moon was named Wan Hu so that people won’t forget the great pioneer in space travel. Curiosity also drives people to their goals. Zhang Heng, a famous Chinese scientist and inventor, was curious about the world: How did everything in the world move? He spent years studying the sky and the earth. Finally, he drew China’s first star map, and invented the world’s first earthquake detector. His curiosity still affects (影响) modern scientists today. Just as Jacques Cousteau said, “What is a scientist after all? It’s a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.” Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world. 21．What can we learn about Benjamin Franklin from the article? A．He flew kites just for fun on rainy days. B．He studied the sky and the earth all his life. C．He invented the first star map in the world. D．His curiosity helped him to make a useful invention. 22．Why is a mountain on the moon named Wan Hu? A．He flew into space with his flying chair. B．He found many new things on the moon. C．He created the safest way to travel to space. D．People hoped to remember him as a space travel pioneer. 23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A．Scientists are the keyhole of nature. B．Zhang Heng invented the first earthquake detector. C．All great inventions come from dangerous adventures. D．Einstein was curious and also had many special talents. 24．Whose invention process (过程) is dangerous? A．Albert Einstein’s. B．Benjamin Franklin’s. C．Wan Hu’s. D．Zhang Heng’s. 25．What does the article mainly talk about? A．The unknown space. B．The importance of hard working. C．The power of curiosity. D．Famous scientists and their inventions. B China sent off its youngest-ever team for its space station on October 26, 2023. It is part of the country’s plan to put astronauts on the moon before 2030. The China Manned Space Agency said the average age of the three-member team is the youngest since the launch of the space station construction mission. Their average age is 38. The three astronauts are Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin. They replaced the team that had been on the station for five months. The new team performed experiments in space medicine, space technology and other areas during their stay. And they helped to place and do possible repairs to equipment (设备) inside and outside the station. In 2022, the Chinese government built its own space station after it was not permitted to join the International Space Station. The Americans worried that the Chinese space programme was under the control of the People’s Liberation Army. China’s first manned space mission in 2003 made it the third country after the former Soviet Union and the USA to put a person into space using its own resources. Although the American space programme is believed to be ahead of China at this time, China made some important steps. They include bringing back samples (样本) from the moon’s surface for the first time and landing a vehicle on the less explored far side of the moon. The USA,meanwhile, aims to put astronauts back on the moon’s surface. In addition to their moon programmes, the two countries have also independently (独立地) sent vehicles on Mars. And China plans to land a spacecraft on an asteroid (小行星). 26．When does China plan to put astronauts on the moon? A．Before 2030. B．Before 2025. C．Before 2040. D．Before 2050. 27．What can we learn about the three astronauts? A．They stayed at the station for five months. B．They did experiments in different areas. C．They are the youngest astronauts at the age of 38. D．They used the equipment to repair the station. 28．Why did China build its own space station? A．China was controlled by the American space programme. B．China wanted to challenge the USA in space exploration. C．China wanted to have control over the American space programme. D．China was not allowed to join the International Space Station. 29．Which is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．China landed a vehicle on the far side of the moon. B．China brought back samples from the moon's surface. C．China has taken important steps in space exploration. D．China will put astronauts on the moon's surface before 2030. 30．What have both the USA and China achieved in their space programmes? A．They have landed vehicles on Mars independently. B．They have built a joint International Space Station. C．They have landed a spacecraft on an asteroid. D．They have landed their first manned spacecraft on the moon. C We all enjoy music, but have you ever wondered what happens inside your brain and body when you listen to your favourite song? Science can help us understand the powerful effects of music. Music influences your brain. Scientists have found that listening to music releases (释放) a chemical called dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is often called the “feel-good” chemical because it makes you feel happy and rewarded. This is the same chemical that is released when you eat your favourite food or win a game. Music can change your physical state. Have you noticed your foot tapping to a beat? This is because music can influence your heart and breath. Fast music with a strong beat can make your heart beat faster and increase your energy levels, which is why it’s perfect for exercise. On the other hand, slow and quiet music with a simple melody (旋律) can help slow down your heart rate and relax your muscles, reducing feelings of stress. A French researcher, Dr Alfred A．Tomatis, proposed (提出) the “Mozart Effect”, which suggests that listening to classical music might temporarily (暂时地) improve your ability to focus and solve difficult problems. While it won’t make you smarter, many students find that listening to some music while studying helps them focus better and block out noises that distract them. In conclusion, music is not just an art; it’s also a science. It can chemically improve your happiness, physically change your body’s rhythms, and sharpen your mental focus. The next time you press play, remember that there’s a lot of interesting science working to create those wonderful feelings. 31．What is dopamine? A．It’s the name of a kind of good feeling. B．It’s a chemical that makes people feel happy. C．It’s the rhythm of a piece of beautiful music. D．It’s a kind of machine used by the scientists. 32．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Fast music with a strong beat is suitable for sports. B．Listening to some music is good for people’s hearts. C．Whether the music is fast or slow depends on the beats. D．Music that is soft and quiet is more welcomed by people. 33．According to the “Mozart Effect”, in which situation can classical music help you? A．You need to focus on your homework. B．You feel sad and need to be cheered up. C．You are doing exercise and need energy. D．You want to relax and fall asleep quickly. 34．What does the underlined word “distract” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Develop one’s interest. B．Change one’s mind. C．Draw one’s attention away. D．Influence one’s health condition. 35．Which is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． D ①Have you read Harry Potter? Fans of the Harry Potter books will know Quidditch (魁地奇), the magical sport where players fly around on broomsticks (扫帚柄). But do you know that the game is in the real world, too? ②It’s called quadball (魁地球/四球), and it first began back in 2005, when American college students decided to create their own, real-life version of Quidditch. More and more people started playing the game, with countries all over the world making their own teams. ③The rules of quadball are very similar to those of Quidditch. Although players don’t fly in the sky on broomsticks like in the books, they must play with a “broomstick”—usually a wooden stick—between their legs at all times. ④And like Quidditch, there are four forms of players on a quadball team. The Chasers (追球手) try to score goals by throwing volleyballs through the opposite team’s hoops (球门环), and the Keepers try to stop goals from being scored. The Beaters throw balls at other players. If a player is hit, he has to drop any ball he is carrying and run back to his own hoop. And the Seeker (找球手), which was the position that Harry Potter played in the books, has to find the Golden Snitch (金色飞贼). In the books, the Snitch was a small, gold ball that flew around the field. But in quadball, the Snitch is a person—the Flag Runner, a fair player who runs around the field with a flag tied to his back. If a Seeker catches the Flag Runner’s flag, his team gets 30 points and the game ends. ⑤Quadball is an exciting sport to watch and even more exciting to play. In 2012, the world’s first Quadball World Cup was held. However, after its name change, quadball seemed to lose its magic and fall into trouble. Because of various reasons, it failed to successfully enter the Quadball World Cup to be held in 2024. People have a great love for the world full of magic, so there are still countless people who hope this sport can develop better. 36．Why did the writer mention Quidditch in Harry Potter in the first paragraph? A．To give an example. B．To make a comparison. C．To tell people the truth. D．To catch people’s attention. 37．Which paragraph shows the development of quadball? A．Paragraph 2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Paragraph 5. 38．What is the difference between quadball and Quidditch? A．There aren’t many fans in quadball. B．There isn’t a Snitch in quadball. C．People don’t fly in the sky in quadball. D．People don’t use a broomstick in quadball. 39．What can we learn about quadball from Paragraph 4? A．The Beaters can only throw balls at the Keepers. B．The Seeker must fly around in the sky on broomsticks. C．The Flag Runner should run around the field with a flag. D．The Chasers need to throw basketballs through the hoops. 40．Who will most probably be interested in this passage? A．Technology fans. B．Sports lovers. C．History researchers. D．Book sellers. 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Chinese festivals are an important part of Chinese culture. They show people’s love for life and family.

An international team found the artifacts at Marathousa 1 in Greece, where wet conditions helped wood 51 . The two objects, dated to about 430,000 years ago, were not random sticks. Microscopic study showed marks from chopping and carving, which 52 that people had deliberately shaped them. The discovery matters because wood usually 53 long before archaeologists can study it. Stone tools survive more easily, so they often give an incomplete   54 of ancient technology. One object, made from alder, may have been used for digging near the lakeshore or stripping bark. Another smaller piece of willow or poplar also showed signs of human 55 . The site tells a wider story. Stone tools and animal remains suggest early humans used the area for butchering prey near an ancient lake. A larger wood fragment had grooves, but researchers concluded they were made by a large carnivore, possibly a bear, rather than by people. That detail 56 a dangerous environment in which humans and predators may have competed for 57 . For scientists, the find pushes back evidence of hand-held wooden tool use by at least 40,000 years. It also shows that early humans were not limited to stone. They selected plants, shaped materials and solved practical problems with 58 . Because such evidence is rare, researchers had to 59 each mark carefully. Some marks were human-made, while others came from animals; telling the difference required 60 comparison. Without microscopes and teamwork, the wood might have been 61 as ordinary fragments. Instead, it now 62 the timeline of early technology and adds southeastern Europe to the map of important discoveries.

I was 66 (deep) attracted by the secret universe. My first dream was to be 67 astronaut. Few people knew how hard the journey would be. My parents worried that the training for space‑travellers was really difficult. Still, I never gave up my dream. I kept reading books about planets and the space station in my free time. At 16, I took part in a city‑level space camp. There I experienced real astronauts’ daily training. I learnt that taikonauts must stay calm both in strong shaking and a 68 (weight) environment. Once I nearly gave up after a long‑time anti‑gravity practice. 69 the words from a space hero encouraged me 70 (move) on. Years passed. I kept making my body strong and studied space‑science knowledge every day. I knew every small step would bring me closer 71 space. Last summer, I got the chance to visit the national space centre. When I saw the real spaceship, my eyes 72 (fill) with tears. The guide told us human beings 73 (send) many machines to explore Mars so far. More young people are drawn into space research. Now I understand exploring the universe is never a lonely journey. We young dreamers are carrying the future of space 74 (explore). I will not waste any chance to improve 75 (I). Even if I cannot fly into space one day, my love for the outer world will never fade away. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 情境运用（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据所提供的图片，用一个完整的句子完成情境交际。 76．A: Cool! ________________________________?

Many great inventions may never come true if people don’t have this wonderful ability. Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents (天赋). I am just very curious.” Curiosity can bring new discoveries. It encourages people to explore and discover new things. Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He showed great interest in electricity (电力) and had a deep curiosity about its nature. He did a lot to understand it. For example, he flew a kite in a heavy storm. His curiosity finally helped him to invent the lightning rod, which can protect buildings from lightning. Curiosity can also make people brave enough to try new things. Just look at Wan Hu, a man in the Ming Dynasty, who was quite curious about the unknown space. He wanted to fly into the sky so much that he invented a “flying chair”. He made forty-seven rockets () himself and put them on his flying chair. Unluckily, he lost his life while testing his invention. Although his try didn’t succeed, his curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learned from his example, and created safer ways to explore space. A mountain on the moon was named Wan Hu so that people won’t forget the great pioneer in space travel. Curiosity also drives people to their goals. Zhang Heng, a famous Chinese scientist and inventor, was curious about the world: How did everything in the world move? He spent years studying the sky and the earth. Finally, he drew China’s first star map, and invented the world’s first earthquake detector. His curiosity still affects (影响) modern scientists today. Just as Jacques Cousteau said, “What is a scientist after all? It’s a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.” Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world. 21．What can we learn about Benjamin Franklin from the article? A．He flew kites just for fun on rainy days. B．He studied the sky and the earth all his life. C．He invented the first star map in the world. D．His curiosity helped him to make a useful invention. 22．Why is a mountain on the moon named Wan Hu? A．He flew into space with his flying chair. B．He found many new things on the moon. C．He created the safest way to travel to space. D．People hoped to remember him as a space travel pioneer. 23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A．Scientists are the keyhole of nature. B．Zhang Heng invented the first earthquake detector. C．All great inventions come from dangerous adventures. D．Einstein was curious and also had many special talents. 24．Whose invention process (过程) is dangerous? A．Albert Einstein’s. B．Benjamin Franklin’s. C．Wan Hu’s. D．Zhang Heng’s. 25．What does the article mainly talk about? A．The unknown space. B．The importance of hard working. C．The power of curiosity. D．Famous scientists and their inventions. B China sent off its youngest-ever team for its space station on October 26, 2023. It is part of the country’s plan to put astronauts on the moon before 2030. The China Manned Space Agency said the average age of the three-member team is the youngest since the launch of the space station construction mission. Their average age is 38. The three astronauts are Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin. They replaced the team that had been on the station for five months. The new team performed experiments in space medicine, space technology and other areas during their stay. And they helped to place and do possible repairs to equipment (设备) inside and outside the station. In 2022, the Chinese government built its own space station after it was not permitted to join the International Space Station. The Americans worried that the Chinese space programme was under the control of the People’s Liberation Army. China’s first manned space mission in 2003 made it the third country after the former Soviet Union and the USA to put a person into space using its own resources. Although the American space programme is believed to be ahead of China at this time, China made some important steps. They include bringing back samples (样本) from the moon’s surface for the first time and landing a vehicle on the less explored far side of the moon. The USA,meanwhile, aims to put astronauts back on the moon’s surface. In addition to their moon programmes, the two countries have also independently (独立地) sent vehicles on Mars. And China plans to land a spacecraft on an asteroid (小行星). 26．When does China plan to put astronauts on the moon? A．Before 2030. B．Before 2025. C．Before 2040. D．Before 2050. 27．What can we learn about the three astronauts? A．They stayed at the station for five months. B．They did experiments in different areas. C．They are the youngest astronauts at the age of 38. D．They used the equipment to repair the station. 28．Why did China build its own space station? A．China was controlled by the American space programme. B．China wanted to challenge the USA in space exploration. C．China wanted to have control over the American space programme. D．China was not allowed to join the International Space Station. 29．Which is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．China landed a vehicle on the far side of the moon. B．China brought back samples from the moon's surface. C．China has taken important steps in space exploration. D．China will put astronauts on the moon's surface before 2030. 30．What have both the USA and China achieved in their space programmes? A．They have landed vehicles on Mars independently. B．They have built a joint International Space Station. C．They have landed a spacecraft on an asteroid. D．They have landed their first manned spacecraft on the moon. C We all enjoy music, but have you ever wondered what happens inside your brain and body when you listen to your favourite song? Science can help us understand the powerful effects of music. Music influences your brain. Scientists have found that listening to music releases (释放) a chemical called dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is often called the “feel-good” chemical because it makes you feel happy and rewarded. This is the same chemical that is released when you eat your favourite food or win a game. Music can change your physical state. Have you noticed your foot tapping to a beat? This is because music can influence your heart and breath. Fast music with a strong beat can make your heart beat faster and increase your energy levels, which is why it’s perfect for exercise. On the other hand, slow and quiet music with a simple melody (旋律) can help slow down your heart rate and relax your muscles, reducing feelings of stress. A French researcher, Dr Alfred A．Tomatis, proposed (提出) the “Mozart Effect”, which suggests that listening to classical music might temporarily (暂时地) improve your ability to focus and solve difficult problems. While it won’t make you smarter, many students find that listening to some music while studying helps them focus better and block out noises that distract them. In conclusion, music is not just an art; it’s also a science. It can chemically improve your happiness, physically change your body’s rhythms, and sharpen your mental focus. The next time you press play, remember that there’s a lot of interesting science working to create those wonderful feelings. 31．What is dopamine? A．It’s the name of a kind of good feeling. B．It’s a chemical that makes people feel happy. C．It’s the rhythm of a piece of beautiful music. D．It’s a kind of machine used by the scientists. 32．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Fast music with a strong beat is suitable for sports. B．Listening to some music is good for people’s hearts. C．Whether the music is fast or slow depends on the beats. D．Music that is soft and quiet is more welcomed by people. 33．According to the “Mozart Effect”, in which situation can classical music help you? A．You need to focus on your homework. B．You feel sad and need to be cheered up. C．You are doing exercise and need energy. D．You want to relax and fall asleep quickly. 34．What does the underlined word “distract” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Develop one’s interest. B．Change one’s mind. C．Draw one’s attention away. D．Influence one’s health condition. 35．Which is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． D ①Have you read Harry Potter? Fans of the Harry Potter books will know Quidditch (魁地奇), the magical sport where players fly around on broomsticks (扫帚柄). But do you know that the game is in the real world, too? ②It’s called quadball (魁地球/四球), and it first began back in 2005, when American college students decided to create their own, real-life version of Quidditch. More and more people started playing the game, with countries all over the world making their own teams. ③The rules of quadball are very similar to those of Quidditch. Although players don’t fly in the sky on broomsticks like in the books, they must play with a “broomstick”—usually a wooden stick—between their legs at all times. ④And like Quidditch, there are four forms of players on a quadball team. The Chasers (追球手) try to score goals by throwing volleyballs through the opposite team’s hoops (球门环), and the Keepers try to stop goals from being scored. The Beaters throw balls at other players. If a player is hit, he has to drop any ball he is carrying and run back to his own hoop. And the Seeker (找球手), which was the position that Harry Potter played in the books, has to find the Golden Snitch (金色飞贼). In the books, the Snitch was a small, gold ball that flew around the field. But in quadball, the Snitch is a person—the Flag Runner, a fair player who runs around the field with a flag tied to his back. If a Seeker catches the Flag Runner’s flag, his team gets 30 points and the game ends. ⑤Quadball is an exciting sport to watch and even more exciting to play. In 2012, the world’s first Quadball World Cup was held. However, after its name change, quadball seemed to lose its magic and fall into trouble. Because of various reasons, it failed to successfully enter the Quadball World Cup to be held in 2024. People have a great love for the world full of magic, so there are still countless people who hope this sport can develop better. 36．Why did the writer mention Quidditch in Harry Potter in the first paragraph? A．To give an example. B．To make a comparison. C．To tell people the truth. D．To catch people’s attention. 37．Which paragraph shows the development of quadball? A．Paragraph 2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Paragraph 5. 38．What is the difference between quadball and Quidditch? A．There aren’t many fans in quadball. B．There isn’t a Snitch in quadball. C．People don’t fly in the sky in quadball. D．People don’t use a broomstick in quadball. 39．What can we learn about quadball from Paragraph 4? A．The Beaters can only throw balls at the Keepers. B．The Seeker must fly around in the sky on broomsticks. C．The Flag Runner should run around the field with a flag. D．The Chasers need to throw basketballs through the hoops. 40．Who will most probably be interested in this passage? A．Technology fans. B．Sports lovers. C．History researchers. D．Book sellers. 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Chinese festivals are an important part of Chinese culture. They show people’s love for life and family. Let’s learn about some popular ones. 41 It falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. On this night, families get together to eat sweet dumplings and watch beautiful lantern shows. Children often play with lanterns in different shapes. The Dragon Boat Festival is on the 5th day of the fifth lunar month. 42 People believe doing this can bring good luck and keep away bad things.

Once I nearly gave up after a long‑time anti‑gravity practice. 69 the words from a space hero encouraged me 70 (move) on. Years passed. I kept making my body strong and studied space‑science knowledge every day. I knew every small step would bring me closer 71 space. Last summer, I got the chance to visit the national space centre. When I saw the real spaceship, my eyes 72 (fill) with tears. The guide told us human beings 73 (send) many machines to explore Mars so far. More young people are drawn into space research. Now I understand exploring the universe is never a lonely journey. We young dreamers are carrying the future of space 74 (explore). I will not waste any chance to improve 75 (I). Even if I cannot fly into space one day, my love for the outer world will never fade away. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 情境运用（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据所提供的图片，用一个完整的句子完成情境交际。 76．A: Cool! ________________________________?
