These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list. Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways. Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich Sitting on the edge of the University of East Anglia’s campus, the Sainsbury Centre holds a collection of remarkable works of art spanning over 2,000 years. Inside the seminal Norman Foster building, you’ll find artworks from around the world, including some stunning pieces of European modern art by Degas, Francis Bacon, and Alberto Giacometti. Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century. Whitworth, Manchester After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions. 1. What is special about the Royal Academy of Arts? A. It offers interactive experiences. B. It displays works by senior artists. C. It occupies a vast space in the museum. D. It stages exhibitions in a traditional way. 2. What do Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whitworth have in common? A. They are small in scale. B. They offer outdoor settings. C. They feature long-standing works. D. They host exhibitions on an annual basis. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. An art textbook. B. An art student’s paper. C. A personal travel blog. D. A travel guidebook. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个游客必看的英国艺术画廊。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London部分中“It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.(它以举办一些让每个人都在谈论的展览而闻名于世。此外，RA的独特之处在于它通过参与式体验与公众互动，让参观者不仅可以观看艺术，还可以以创新的方式成为艺术的一部分)”可知，皇家艺术学院的特别之处在于它提供的是一种互动体验。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire部分中“Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air.(当谈到我们传统上如何看待艺术时，约克郡雕塑公园打破了规则，通过在露天展示英国和国际艺术家的作品，努力打破障碍)”和Whitworth, Manchester部分中“Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored.(画廊充分利用其风景如画的公园环境，拥有一个美丽的艺术花园和一个雕塑露台, 所有这些都有待探索)”可知，约克郡雕塑公园和惠特沃斯画廊的共同之处在于它们都提供户外环境。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第一段“With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.(拥有如此强大的艺术遗产，英国在世界一流的艺术画廊中脱颖而出也就不足为奇了。这些是你需要添加到你的必游列表的画廊)”可知，这段文本很可能摘自一本旅行指南。故选D项。 B Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 4. Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A. He showed no passion for China. B. He was unwilling to make the effort. C. He avoided learning a second language. D. He avoided doing something difficult. 5. What caused the author to learn Chinese? A. His regret about starting learning late. B. Support from many friends around him. C. Eagerness to take up the challenge. D. A thirst to prove his gift for language. 6. What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Valueless. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Unacceptable. 7. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Love breaks down difficulties. B. Hard work pays off. C. Hard work is the key to success. D. Bravery opens up a new world. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者一开始到中国时因为惧怕困难而不想学习中文，但是在中国一年后作者决定接受这个挑战，在认真学习后，作者发现学习中文不仅对其日常生活有帮助，而且加深了自己对这个迷人国家的文化理解。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，作者2017年到中国时不学中文是因为他逃避做困难的事情。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.(考虑到这些因素和对新挑战的渴望，我决定开始我的语言之旅，我唯一的遗憾是我没有早点开始。)”可知，对新挑战的渴望促使作者开始学习中文。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段第一句中的“as I once thought(像我原本以为的)”和第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，此处是指学习中文并不像“我”原本以为的那样难，所以insurmountable意为“困难的”。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith.(学习中文不仅对我的日常生活有帮助，而且加深了我对这个迷人国家的文化理解。所以，我要对我所有的非中国朋友说，接受挑战，大胆地迈出信念的一步。)”可知，从作者的经历中可以了解到勇敢接受挑战会打开新世界的大门。故选D。 C In the vast digital landscape, Google stands as a towering giant of innovation and creativity. Among its many offerings, one stands out for its ability to charm, educate, and celebrate the diversity of human culture—the Google Doodle (涂鸦). This artistic project, which has evolved from simple still images to animated pictures, interactive games, and short videos, has turned the usual act of searching the internet into an enjoyable journey through history, culture, and, importantly, the English language. The idea of Google Doodle began in the late 1990s, when the company’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, wanted to add a touch of fun and personality to their search engine. The first Google Doodle, created in 1998 to mark the Burning Man Festival, was the start of a tradition that has since become known for its creativity, diversity and user engagement. Each Google Doodle is a masterpiece, designed and published by any doodler online to bring out the certain theme every year. From paying respect to literary greats like Mark Twain and Dickens to marking key moments in worldwide history, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Google Doodles show the global influence of English and colorful cultural roots. One of the most amazing things about Google Doodle is its ability to mix the English language with artistic expression. Many Doodles include clever wordplay, literary quotes, and historical references, encouraging users to explore the events and celebrities more deeply. For example, a Doodle celebrating the life and works of William Shakespeare might show famous quotes from his plays, inviting users to dive into the rich world of Elizabethan literature. In conclusion, Google Doodle is more than just a visual delight. Through its charming designs, and interactive features, it invites us to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the diverse traditions that have shaped our shared human heritage. It serves as a bridge connecting the digital world with human emotions and memories, making every search a potential discovery of beauty and meaning. 8. What can you do on Google Doodle? A.

To make Google funny and personalized. B. To mark the Burning Man Festival in 1988. C. To celebrate a certain theme every year. D. To show the global influence of Google. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. One key technique of Google Doodle. B. One common subject of Google Doodle. C. One amazing capability of Google Doodle. D. One artistic representative of Google Doodle. 11. In which column of a magazine can you probably find this text? A. Creativity & Art. B. Language & Culture. C. Festivals & Celebrations. D. Emotions & Memories. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“Google Doodle”谷歌涂鸦的历史起源、内容、发展、价值及意义等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This artistic project, which has evolved from simple still images to animated pictures, interactive games, and short videos, has turned the usual act of searching the internet into an enjoyable journey through history, culture, and, importantly, the English language.(这个艺术项目从简单的静态图像演变为动画图片、互动游戏和短视频，将通常的互联网搜索行为变成了一次愉快的历史、文化之旅，更重要的是，了解英语。)”可知，Google Doodle上人们可以享受到动画图片、互动游戏和短视频。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The idea of Google Doodle began in the late 1990s, when the company’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, wanted to add a touch of fun and personality to their search engine.(Google Doodle的想法始于20世纪90年代末，当时该公司的创始人Larry Page和Sergey Brin想给他们的搜索引擎增添一点乐趣和个性。)”可知，Larry Page和Sergey Brin想让让谷歌变得有趣和个性化所以创办了Google Doodle。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“One of the most amazing things about Google Doodle is its ability to mix the English language with artistic expression.(Google Doodle最令人惊奇的事情之一是它能够将英语语言与艺术表达相结合。)”可知，第四段主要讲述Google Doodle的一个惊人的功能。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, Google Doodle is more than just a visual delight. Through its charming designs, and interactive features, it invites us to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the diverse traditions that have shaped our shared human heritage. (总之，Google Doodle不仅仅是视觉上的愉悦。通过其迷人的设计和互动功能，它邀请我们探索、欣赏和庆祝塑造了我们共同的人类遗产的各种传统。)”可知，本文主要介绍Google Doodle融合了创意与艺术的故事，由此推断这篇文章会在创意与艺术专栏。故选A。 D One key element of human language is the connection of words with meanings. Scientists had long thought that unlike our words, animal vocalizations(发出的声音) were involuntary, showing the feelings of the animal without communicating any other information. However, over the last forty years, many studies have shown that different animals have different calls with specific meanings. Interestingly, the most impressive are birds. Many bird species use different alarm calls for different predators(捕食性动物). Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their young to lower down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends the young jumping out of the nest completely. And black-capped chickadees change the number of “dees” in their calls to indicate the size and threat of predators. Besides alarm calls, many bird species use recruitment calls that gather other members of their species. Japanese tits add alarm calls to recruitment calls to create a sort of call to arm, gathering their partner members to attack and drive off a predator. When the birds hear this call, they approach the caller while scanning for danger. Scientists led by Professor Toshitaka Suzuki of Kyoto University discovered that the order of the combined calls matters to the Japanese tits. When Suzuki’s team played a recorded “alarm + recruitment” call to tits, it gets a much stronger response than a “recruitment + alarm” call. However, this could simply be explained by the birds responding to the combined calls without knowing the parts of the combination, but the scientists tried to clarify this question from different angles. 12. What do we know about animal vocalizations? A. They are produced unconsciously. B. They lack meaningful information. C. They are difficult for scientists to understand. D. They are connected with particular meanings. 13. How does the writer develop paragraph 2? A. By the order of time. B. By the order of space. C. By providing examples. D. By making comparisons. 14. What’s the reaction of Japanese tits to a predator? A. They jump out of their nests immediately. B. They change the number of “dees” in their calls. C. They combine alarm calls with recruitment calls. D. They approach the predator while looking for danger. 15. What will the text talk about next? A. Other reasons for the birds’ different responses. B. Various habits and characteristics of Japanese tits. C. Diverse combinations of animals’ vocalizations. D. The importance of the “recruitment + alarm” call. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了关于鸟类语言的研究，发现鸟类语言也有含义，并且语言顺序也很重要。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段 “many studies have shown that different animals have different calls with specific meanings(许多研究表明，不同的动物有不同的叫声和特定的含义)”可知，动物发出的声音是有特定含义的，故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段 “Many bird species use different alarm calls for different predators(许多鸟类对不同的捕食者发出不同的警报)”可知本段将介绍许多鸟类对不同的捕食者使用不同的警报，后文作者举例Japanese tits以及black-capped chickadees的语言和行为说明此观点，故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Japanese tits add alarm calls to recruitment calls to create a sort of call to arm, gathering their partner members to attack and drive off a predator.(日本山雀在招募呼叫中增加了警报呼叫，以制造一种武装呼叫，召集伙伴攻击并赶走捕食者)”可知日本山雀在招募叫声中加入了警报叫声来应对捕食者，故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, this could simply be explained by the birds responding to the combined calls without knowing the parts of the combination, but the scientists tried to clarify this question from different angles(然而，这可以简单地解释为鸟类对组合叫声的反应，而不知道组合的组成部分，但科学家们试图从不同的角度来澄清这个问题)”可知，后文将继续介绍关于鸟类语言相关的研究，科学家们将从其他角度来分析这个问题，即探索鸟类有不同反应的背后原因，故选A项。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself?

Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time. (当我们学会自己解决问题而不是立即向他人求助时，这有助于建立我们的信心，让我们感到更独立，对做决定感觉更好。足智多谋可能无法帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何应对它们会让你下次感到压力更小、准备更充分。)”可知，本段主要讲足智多谋的各种好处，E选项“Resourcefulness is a skill that’s good for you in lots of ways.

(你也会了解到自己擅长什么。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“also”承接上文的好处，表示递进关系，且该选项中的“learn what you’re good at”与下文的“boost self-esteem”相呼应，表示了解自己的优势有助于提升自尊。 【19题详解】 由上文“Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. (接下来，尽可能多地想出问题的解决方案。)”以及下文“Finally, review what has and hasn’t worked, so you’re equipped to deal with a situation next time. (最后，回顾哪些有效哪些无效，这样你下次就能应对这种情况。)”可知，本空要说在提出多个方案后如何选择，G选项“Weigh up what’s good and bad about each one and choose the best.

After a full day’s work at a flower shop, she had put in another six hours waiting tables before heading home. This was her typical weekends. Pushing the key into the lock, she quietly opened the door so as not to wake her younger siblings. She stepped into the front room, and froze. The house was a mess: plates of half-eaten food were scattered in front of the TV; clothes, shoes and exercise books were everyone. Amy’s eyes welled with tears. “This is just too much for me.” she thought. Terrible memories began to race through her mind. Two years before, her parents lost their lives in an accident, leaving Amy and her siblings for their grandma, Helen, who had spent half of her life in a wheelchair. The life burden fell on Amy’s shoulders, which was too much for a girl. Life moved on. One day, walking across the school grounds, Amy found a table littered with university brochures. She browsed through pictures of spacious campuses and happy peers, all of it looking unachievable for her, given the current situation and financial conditions. But her teacher gave her unexpected hope, saying“ You could attend university for free. It would take a scholarship, though, and for that you’d need much better grades.” During her final year of high school, Amy diligently attended classes, then went to work after school, returned to her grandmother’s house, cared for her sisters and brothers and went through homework till the early hours of the morning, struggling for her dream university. One afternoon, she walked home from school, holding a sheet of paper tightly. It was a letter from the University of California, informing her that she would be offered a scholarship and was admitted to the university. It was what she’d been longing for, a place where she could study to become someone special-a nurse, perhaps, or maybe even a lawyer. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Yet the letter only made Amy struggle inside. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next afternoon, Amy spotted the wrinkled letter she threw into the dustbin on the table when arriving home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Yet the letter only made Amy struggle inside. She knew that attending university was her dream, but the reality of it was much more daunting. The letter promised a scholarship, but the cost of living and books and other expenses still loomed large. Amy knew that even with the scholarship, she would still need to work to support herself and her siblings. She felt the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. How could she leave her siblings behind, especially her grandmother Helen, who needed constant care? Amy’s heart was torn between her dreams and her responsibilities. She sat on her bed, holding the letter tightly, tears streaming down her face. She didn’t know what to do. The next afternoon, Amy spotted the wrinkled letter she threw into the dustbin on the table when arriving home. She couldn’t believe she had done that. She had worked so hard for this opportunity, and now she was considering giving it up. Amy sat down and slowly unfolded the letter, reading it again. She knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and she didn’t want to let it slip away. She had to find a way to balance her responsibilities and her dreams. Amy made a decision. She would go to university, but she would find a way to work remotely or part-time so she could support her family. She would also find people to help care for her grandmother. Amy knew it would be challenging, but she was ready to face it. She had the strength and determination to make her dreams a reality. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了18岁的艾米·沃尔德鲁普父母在一次事故中丧生了，把艾米和她的兄弟姐妹留给了在轮椅上度过了半生的奶奶海伦。生活的重担落在了艾米的肩上，这对一个女孩来说太沉重了。艾米渴望去上大学，但是担心家里无法维系生计。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，这封信只是让艾米内心挣扎”可知，第一段可描写艾米内心的挣扎以及迷茫。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天下午，艾米发现了那封皱巴巴的信，她回家时把它扔进了桌子上的垃圾箱”可知，第二段可描写艾米思考解决办法以及决心实现梦想。 2.续写线索：内心挣扎——担忧家人——摇摆不定——思考办法——决心实现梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①养活自己：support oneself/feed oneself ②实现：make sth. a reality /make sth. come true ③照顾：care for/attend 情绪类 ①令人气馁：daunting/discouraging ②准备好：ready/prepared 【点睛】[高分句型1] She knew that attending university was her dream, but the reality of it was much more daunting.(运用了that引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] How could she leave her siblings behind, especially her grandmother Helen, who needed constant care?

These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list. Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways. Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich Sitting on the edge of the University of East Anglia’s campus, the Sainsbury Centre holds a collection of remarkable works of art spanning over 2,000 years. Inside the seminal Norman Foster building, you’ll find artworks from around the world, including some stunning pieces of European modern art by Degas, Francis Bacon, and Alberto Giacometti. Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century. Whitworth, Manchester After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions. 1. What is special about the Royal Academy of Arts? A. It offers interactive experiences. B. It displays works by senior artists. C. It occupies a vast space in the museum. D. It stages exhibitions in a traditional way. 2. What do Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whitworth have in common? A. They are small in scale. B. They offer outdoor settings. C. They feature long-standing works. D. They host exhibitions on an annual basis. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. An art textbook. B. An art student’s paper. C. A personal travel blog. D. A travel guidebook. B Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 4. Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A. He showed no passion for China. B. He was unwilling to make the effort. C. He avoided learning a second language. D. He avoided doing something difficult. 5. What caused the author to learn Chinese? A. His regret about starting learning late. B. Support from many friends around him. C. Eagerness to take up the challenge. D. A thirst to prove his gift for language. 6. What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Valueless. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Unacceptable. 7. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Love breaks down difficulties. B. Hard work pays off. C. Hard work is the key to success. D. Bravery opens up a new world. C In the vast digital landscape, Google stands as a towering giant of innovation and creativity. Among its many offerings, one stands out for its ability to charm, educate, and celebrate the diversity of human culture—the Google Doodle (涂鸦). This artistic project, which has evolved from simple still images to animated pictures, interactive games, and short videos, has turned the usual act of searching the internet into an enjoyable journey through history, culture, and, importantly, the English language. The idea of Google Doodle began in the late 1990s, when the company’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, wanted to add a touch of fun and personality to their search engine. The first Google Doodle, created in 1998 to mark the Burning Man Festival, was the start of a tradition that has since become known for its creativity, diversity and user engagement. Each Google Doodle is a masterpiece, designed and published by any doodler online to bring out the certain theme every year. From paying respect to literary greats like Mark Twain and Dickens to marking key moments in worldwide history, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Google Doodles show the global influence of English and colorful cultural roots. One of the most amazing things about Google Doodle is its ability to mix the English language with artistic expression. Many Doodles include clever wordplay, literary quotes, and historical references, encouraging users to explore the events and celebrities more deeply. For example, a Doodle celebrating the life and works of William Shakespeare might show famous quotes from his plays, inviting users to dive into the rich world of Elizabethan literature. In conclusion, Google Doodle is more than just a visual delight. Through its charming designs, and interactive features, it invites us to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the diverse traditions that have shaped our shared human heritage. It serves as a bridge connecting the digital world with human emotions and memories, making every search a potential discovery of beauty and meaning. 8. What can you do on Google Doodle? A. Learn how to doodle. B. Celebrate all festivals. C. Enjoy short videos. D. Study the English language. 9. Why did Larry Page and Sergey Brin create Google Doodle? A. To make Google funny and personalized. B. To mark the Burning Man Festival in 1988. C. To celebrate a certain theme every year. D. To show the global influence of Google. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. One key technique of Google Doodle. B. One common subject of Google Doodle. C. One amazing capability of Google Doodle. D. One artistic representative of Google Doodle. 11. In which column of a magazine can you probably find this text? A. Creativity & Art. B. Language & Culture. C. Festivals & Celebrations. D. Emotions & Memories. D One key element of human language is the connection of words with meanings. Scientists had long thought that unlike our words, animal vocalizations(发出的声音) were involuntary, showing the feelings of the animal without communicating any other information. However, over the last forty years, many studies have shown that different animals have different calls with specific meanings. Interestingly, the most impressive are birds. Many bird species use different alarm calls for different predators(捕食性动物). Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their young to lower down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends the young jumping out of the nest completely. And black-capped chickadees change the number of “dees” in their calls to indicate the size and threat of predators. Besides alarm calls, many bird species use recruitment calls that gather other members of their species. Japanese tits add alarm calls to recruitment calls to create a sort of call to arm, gathering their partner members to attack and drive off a predator. When the birds hear this call, they approach the caller while scanning for danger. Scientists led by Professor Toshitaka Suzuki of Kyoto University discovered that the order of the combined calls matters to the Japanese tits. When Suzuki’s team played a recorded “alarm + recruitment” call to tits, it gets a much stronger response than a “recruitment + alarm” call.

After a full day’s work at a flower shop, she had put in another six hours waiting tables before heading home. This was her typical weekends. Pushing the key into the lock, she quietly opened the door so as not to wake her younger siblings. She stepped into the front room, and froze. The house was a mess: plates of half-eaten food were scattered in front of the TV; clothes, shoes and exercise books were everyone. Amy’s eyes welled with tears. “This is just too much for me.” she thought. Terrible memories began to race through her mind. Two years before, her parents lost their lives in an accident, leaving Amy and her siblings for their grandma, Helen, who had spent half of her life in a wheelchair. The life burden fell on Amy’s shoulders, which was too much for a girl. Life moved on. One day, walking across the school grounds, Amy found a table littered with university brochures. She browsed through pictures of spacious campuses and happy peers, all of it looking unachievable for her, given the current situation and financial conditions. But her teacher gave her unexpected hope, saying“ You could attend university for free. It would take a scholarship, though, and for that you’d need much better grades.” During her final year of high school, Amy diligently attended classes, then went to work after school, returned to her grandmother’s house, cared for her sisters and brothers and went through homework till the early hours of the morning, struggling for her dream university. One afternoon, she walked home from school, holding a sheet of paper tightly. It was a letter from the University of California, informing her that she would be offered a scholarship and was admitted to the university. It was what she’d been longing for, a place where she could study to become someone special-a nurse, perhaps, or maybe even a lawyer. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Yet the letter only made Amy struggle inside. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next afternoon, Amy spotted the wrinkled letter she threw into the dustbin on the table when arriving home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
