Lieutenant Colonel (中校) Song Lingdong will soon become one of the first astronauts from the post-1990s generation in China to start a space journey.
Born in August 1990 to a farmer’s family in Caoxian county, Shandong province, Song joined the PLA Air Force in September 2008 and was sent to learn flying. In the first months at the flight school, the young man had bad scores in his physical tests. He also had a tough time in his first flights due to airsickness.
Knowing clearly about his weaknesses, Song decided to depend on willpower and sweat to make up for them. He soon became the one student in his class who always appeared on the exercise field and often asked the trainers to double the amount of his training. Thanks to his hard work, he received the top score in his solo (个人) flight exam. After graduation, Song became a pilot.
In the spring of 2018, Song was told about the PLA Astronaut Department beginning to pick new members. Soon he decided to apply. He said the desire to fly above the atmosphere (大气层) was inspired by a TV news report he saw about China’s first spaceflight, when he was 13 years old.
In September 2020, he was selected as one of the third group of astronauts. He soon realized that a successful astronaut really needs calmness and team spirit. He learned to slow down and even started going fishing to improve his patience. In the eyes of the leader Cai Xuzhe and teammate Wang Haoze, Song is now fully able to complete a spaceflight and can be depended upon.
4. What can we learn about Song Lingdong from Paragraphs 2 &3?
A. He became a pilot without difficulty. B. He did very well in his physical tests.
C. He managed to make up for his weaknesses. D. He received the highest score in every exam.
5. What inspired Song Lingdong to be an astronaut?
A. A TV news report. B. A childhood dream.
C. His hard work in training. D. His curiosity about space.
6. Which of the following best describes Song Lingdong?
A. Shallow. B. Talented. C. Frank. D. Hardworking.
7. What can we learn from Song Lingdong’s story?
A. It is never too old to learn. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C
Imagine you’re walking across endless hills, with warm sunshine and the sound of birds all around. This peaceful scene is a rare one in the modern world. Our natural soundscapes (声音环境) are falling silent as bird populations reduce.
Our study explores the link between birdsong and people, specifically on English vineyards (葡萄园). We surveyed bird communities on 21 vineyards and our results showed that vineyards with more bird species (物种) had louder and more complex (复杂的) soundscapes.
But does the silencing of our soundscapes matter to us? The short answer is yes. There is growing evidence about the health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heart disease and anxiety.
So as part of our research, we explored the experience of 186 wine-tour participants (参与者) across three vineyards with different soundscapes. We also improved some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ contact with nature would be affected by increasing the kinds of birds and songs.
The results were fascinating. Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds — whether on vineyards with naturally richer soundscapes or on those we had improved — reported enjoying the sounds more. They felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours.
Our study shows the direct effect that birdsong has on our happiness and presents a strong argument for protecting natural soundscapes. So, we hope businesses and people will be inspired to invest (投资) in protection and promote connection with nature.
8. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To show opinions. B. To amuse readers.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To explain the causes.
9. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The process of the research. B. The objectives of the research.
C. The findings of the research. D. The importance of the research.
10. What does the underlined word “fascinating” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Too boring. B. Very surprising. C. Quite interesting. D. Much confusing.
11. What do the findings of the study suggest?
A. Doing deeper research. B. Building better businesses.
C. Seeking greater happiness. D. Connecting more with nature.

Growing up, I washed my hair every day. I was washing my body every day, so I thought I should wash my hair daily too. Then, in my teens, a classmate with hair much thicker than mine told me shampoo (洗发剂) was terrible — it made your hair dry and fragile (易损的). “Use shampoo as little as possible,” she advised.
But is shampoo actually bad for your hair? How often should one be using it? And which type of shampoo should one use? We asked experts.
“I don’t believe that shampoo is bad for hair,” says YeneADamtew, a hairstylist. “Cleaning your hair is important for keeping healthy hair.”
Dr Deeptej Singh says that it is true that shampoo can wash away “natural oils that protect our hair”, but there is a “happy medium”. The best solution is a Goldilocks approach: “Don’t overwash or underwash.” Generally, the range is somewhere between once a day and once a week.
“Each person’s shampoo plan will depend on many factors. These include hair texture (质地),whether it’s chemically treated, activity level and weather,” says Dr Elizabeth, a hair health expert. If you have very fine or thin hair, you may need to wash more often, while those with thick hair may need to wash less often. Color-treated hair should also be washed less often, as these treatments can make the hair more fragile. Deciding when to wash your hair depends on a number of personal factors. But going too long between washes, especially for those hair with much oil, can also harm our hair.
12. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By reporting an event. B. By listing the figures.
C. By sharing an experience. D. By solving the problems.
13. Which of the following best explain “a Goldilocks approach”?
A. Suit is the best. B. Less is more.
C. The more, the better. D. Practice makes perfect.
14. Which of the following may Dr Elizabeth agree with?
A. Color-treated hair should be washed more often.
B. Thin hair should be washed with less shampoo.
C. Thick hair should be washed with less shampoo.
D. Hair with much oil should be washed more often.
15. What will the author continue to write in the following text?
A. Is Shampoo bad for your hair? B. What is the correct way to wash hair?
C. What sort of shampoo should people use? D. How often should people wash their hair?
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,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。
When big news breaks, it's easy to get caught up in following the story online. The Internet can be a place to find useful information. _____16_____ Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.
Here's some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.
_____17_____ In the rush to cover stories, reporters make mistakes, officials don't always have correct information and tidbits (八卦新闻) that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.
Use social media wisely. Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. _____18_____ On the other hand, Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.
Be skeptical. _____19_____ After the Boston Marathon bombing, NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims. Not true. There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories. The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians. Visit them to find out if a story is true.
Keep it age-appropriate. Kids aren't always ready to digest big, tragic news - especially if the news is about kids, such as school shootings or abuses. The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids, and at the beginning of a news event, parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. _____20_____
A. Remember, breaking news is often wrong.
B. It also can be the source of misinformation.
C. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
D. Make sure you and your kids aren't falling victim to false news.
E. However, after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.
F. With social media at your fingertips, it's convenient to express your opinion.
G. Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jenny was a shy girl with a sweet voice. She had a passion for writing and her compositions were so beautifully written that her teacher Mr. Hill often read them in front of the whole class.
One day, Mr. Hill announced a school speech contest (比赛) that was to take place in two weeks and Jenny secretly wanted to take part. But speaking in front of so many people made her heart race, so she was afraid to sign up.
The next day, in class, Mr. Hill talked about the contest. “To anyone feeling nervous,” he said loudly enough for everyone to hear. “Don’t let fear hold you back. You can make full use of AI tools — they can listen to your reading, tell you how to change your tone (语气) and speed, and help you develop speaking skills. It’s a great way to learn something new while practicing!” Jenny’s eyes widened with surprise, as she’d never thought of AI as a helper for speeches. Encouraged by Mr. Hill’s words, Jenny signed up for the contest, for she thought to herself, “At least I can have a shot and challenge myself.”
After school, Jenny told her parents about Mr. Hill’s advice and her determination to try. They reacted positively. Her dad downloaded a speech-training app, through which Jenny tried reading her draft (稿子). To her great joy, the app not only pointed out where she spoke too softly but suggested proper pausing between lines. Following the tips, she repeated her speech draft section by section until she felt confident. Her mom and dad took turns acting as her audience and she was surprised to find herself improving greatly day by day.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为80个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the contest day, Jenny felt nervous at first on the stage.

Knowing clearly about his weaknesses, Song decided to depend on willpower and sweat to make up for them. He soon became the one student in his class who always appeared on the exercise field and often asked the trainers to double the amount of his training. Thanks to his hard work, he received the top score in his solo (个人) flight exam. After graduation, Song became a pilot.
In the spring of 2018, Song was told about the PLA Astronaut Department beginning to pick new members. Soon he decided to apply. He said the desire to fly above the atmosphere (大气层) was inspired by a TV news report he saw about China’s first spaceflight, when he was 13 years old.
In September 2020, he was selected as one of the third group of astronauts. He soon realized that a successful astronaut really needs calmness and team spirit. He learned to slow down and even started going fishing to improve his patience. In the eyes of the leader Cai Xuzhe and teammate Wang Haoze, Song is now fully able to complete a spaceflight and can be depended upon.

Imagine you’re walking across endless hills, with warm sunshine and the sound of birds all around. This peaceful scene is a rare one in the modern world. Our natural soundscapes (声音环境) are falling silent as bird populations reduce.
Our study explores the link between birdsong and people, specifically on English vineyards (葡萄园). We surveyed bird communities on 21 vineyards and our results showed that vineyards with more bird species (物种) had louder and more complex (复杂的) soundscapes.
But does the silencing of our soundscapes matter to us? The short answer is yes. There is growing evidence about the health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heart disease and anxiety.
So as part of our research, we explored the experience of 186 wine-tour participants (参与者) across three vineyards with different soundscapes. We also improved some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ contact with nature would be affected by increasing the kinds of birds and songs.
The results were fascinating. Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds — whether on vineyards with naturally richer soundscapes or on those we had improved — reported enjoying the sounds more. They felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours.
Our study shows the direct effect that birdsong has on our happiness and presents a strong argument for protecting natural soundscapes. So, we hope businesses and people will be inspired to invest (投资) in protection and promote connection with nature.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine you’re walking across endless hills, with warm sunshine and the sound of birds all around. This peaceful scene is a rare one in the modern world. Our natural soundscapes (声音环境) are falling silent as bird populations reduce. (想象一下,你正走过一望无际的山丘,温暖的阳光和鸟鸣环绕。这种宁静的景象在现代社会是罕见的。随着鸟类数量的减少,我们的自然声景正在变得沉默)”可知,第一段通过描述一个宁静的自然场景,引出了关于现代世界中鸟类减少导致自然声音环境变得沉默的问题。这为后续讨论鸟类与人类之间的联系以及研究背景做了铺垫,因此第一段的目的是引入话题。故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“So as part of our research, we explored the experience of 186 wine-tour participants (参与者) across three vineyards with different soundscapes. We also improved some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ contact with nature would be affected by increasing the kinds of birds and songs.(作为我们研究的一部分,我们调查了在三个具有不同声音环境的葡萄园中的186名葡萄酒旅游参与者的体验。我们还通过隐藏扬声器播放了额外五种鸟类的歌声来改善某些葡萄园的声音环境。这旨在观察增加鸟类种类和歌声如何影响参与者与自然的接触)”可知,第四段详细描述了研究的具体过程,包括如何在三个葡萄园中调查186名葡萄酒旅游参与者的体验,并且通过隐藏扬声器播放额外五种鸟类的声音来改善某些葡萄园的声音环境。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds — whether on vineyards with naturally richer soundscapes or on those we had improved — reported enjoying the sounds more. They felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours.(体验到更响亮和更复杂声音的游客——无论是在自然声音环境更丰富的葡萄园中,还是在我们通过技术手段改善了声音环境的葡萄园中——都表示他们更加享受这些声音。他们感到与自然的联系更为紧密,并对他们的游览更加满意。拥有更丰富的声音环境使他们在游览过程中感到更加专注和积极)”可知,参与者对更响亮、更复杂的声音环境表现出更高的满意度和享受感,说明研究结果十分有趣,故划线词意思是“非常有趣”。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Our study shows the direct effect that birdsong has on our happiness and presents a strong argument for protecting natural soundscapes. So, we hope businesses and people will be inspired to invest (投资) in protection and promote connection with nature.(我们的研究显示了鸟鸣对我们幸福的直接影响,并为保护自然声景提供了强有力的论据。因此,我们希望企业和人们能够受到激励,投资于保护自然,促进与自然的联系)”可知,这项研究的结果说明了应该多与自然联系。故选D。
D
Growing up, I washed my hair every day. I was washing my body every day, so I thought I should wash my hair daily too. Then, in my teens, a classmate with hair much thicker than mine told me shampoo (洗发剂) was terrible — it made your hair dry and fragile (易损的). “Use shampoo as little as possible,” she advised.
But is shampoo actually bad for your hair? How often should one be using it? And which type of shampoo should one use? We asked experts.
“I don’t believe that shampoo is bad for hair,” says YeneADamtew, a hairstylist. “Cleaning your hair is important for keeping healthy hair.”
Dr Deeptej Singh says that it is true that shampoo can wash away “natural oils that protect our hair”, but there is a “happy medium”. The best solution is a Goldilocks approach: “Don’t overwash or underwash.” Generally, the range is somewhere between once a day and once a week.
“Each person’s shampoo plan will depend on many factors. These include hair texture (质地),whether it’s chemically treated, activity level and weather,” says Dr Elizabeth, a hair health expert. If you have very fine or thin hair, you may need to wash more often, while those with thick hair may need to wash less often. Color-treated hair should also be washed less often, as these treatments can make the hair more fragile. Deciding when to wash your hair depends on a number of personal factors. But going too long between washes, especially for those hair with much oil, can also harm our hair.
12. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By reporting an event. B. By listing the figures.
C. By sharing an experience. D. By solving the problems.
13. Which of the following best explain “a Goldilocks approach”?
A. Suit is the best. B. Less is more.
C. The more, the better. D. Practice makes perfect.
14. Which of the following may Dr Elizabeth agree with?
A. Color-treated hair should be washed more often.
B. Thin hair should be washed with less shampoo.
C. Thick hair should be washed with less shampoo.
D. Hair with much oil should be washed more often.
15. What will the author continue to write in the following text?
A. Is Shampoo bad for your hair? B. What is the correct way to wash hair?
C. What sort of shampoo should people use? D. How often should people wash their hair?
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们对洗发剂的使用困惑,以及专家针对洗发剂是否有害、使用频率和选择类型给出的专业建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Growing up, I washed my hair every day. I was washing my body every day, so I thought I should wash my hair daily too. Then, in my teens, a classmate with hair much thicker than mine told me shampoo (洗发剂) was terrible — it made your hair dry and fragile (易损的). “Use shampoo as little as possible,” she advised.(小时候,我每天都洗头。我每天都洗澡,所以觉得头发也应该天天洗。到了十几岁时,一位头发比我浓密得多的同学告诉我,洗发剂很不好——它会让头发变得干枯易损。“尽量少用洗发剂,”她建议道)”以及第二段首句“But is shampoo actually bad for your hair?(但洗发剂真的对头发有害吗?)”可推知,作者通过分享自己的个人经历引出话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词组所在语境“Dr Deeptej Singh says that it is true that shampoo can wash away “natural oils that protect our hair”, but there is a “happy medium”. The best solution is a Goldilocks approach: “Don’t overwash or underwash.”(Deeptej Singh博士表示,洗发剂确实会洗掉保护头发的天然油脂,但存在一个“平衡点”。最佳方案是a Goldilocks approach:不要洗得太勤,也不要洗得太少)”可推测,划线词组指的是既不过度洗头,也不过少洗头,也就是说要适度。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But going too long between washes, especially for those hair with much oil, can also harm our hair.(但长时间不洗头——尤其是对于油性发质的人来说——也可能对头发造成伤害)”可推测,油性头发的人需要更频繁地清洗。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But is shampoo actually bad for your hair? How often should one be using it? And which type of shampoo should one use? We asked experts.(但洗发剂真的对头发有害吗?一个人应该多久用一次?又该选择哪种类型的洗发剂?我们咨询了专家)”可知,作者开篇提出了三个核心问题:洗发剂是否有害、使用频率、选择哪种类型,而文章只介绍了洗发剂是否有害、使用频率,并没有涉及人们应使用哪种类型的洗发剂。由此推知,下文大概率会围绕该问题继续阐述。故选C。

When big news breaks, it's easy to get caught up in following the story online. The Internet can be a place to find useful information. _____16_____ Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.
Here's some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.
_____17_____ In the rush to cover stories, reporters make mistakes, officials don't always have correct information and tidbits (八卦新闻) that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.
Use social media wisely. Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. _____18_____ On the other hand, Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.

The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids, and at the beginning of a news event, parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. _____20_____
A. Remember, breaking news is often wrong.
B. It also can be the source of misinformation.
C. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

38. whether
39. confusing
40. which 41. is heard
42. was invented
43. stars 44. invisible
45. but
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,用几个例子证明了英语中的表达有的时候令人费解。
【36题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:你有没有问过自己为什么人们在学习英语时经常遇到困难?本空在句中作宾语,且主语you和本空人称一致,故本空应用反身代词,故填yourself。
【37题详解】
考查动名词。句意同上。have trouble doing sth. 意为“做某事有困难”,故本空应用动名词作宾语,故填learning。
【38题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:我没问过,直到有一天我五岁的儿子问我hamburger(汉堡包)里是否有ham(火腿)。本空引导宾语从句,从句中不缺成分,但需要补充“是否”的意思,故本空应用连接词whether。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:即使是最小的单词也会令人困惑。本空在句中作表语,且主语为the smallest of words, 故本空应用形容词 “令人困惑的”,故填confusing。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:你还必须对一种语言的独特疯狂感到好奇,在这种语言中,一栋房子在倒塌时也会被烧毁,在这种语言中,警报一旦响起就会响起!本空引导定语从句,指代先行词a language在从句中作介词in的宾语,故应用关系代词which。
【41题详解】
考查时态语态。句意同上。根据空后goes可知本空应用一般现在时,且an alarm和动词hear之间为被动关系,故本空应用一般现在时的被动语态,故填is heard。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:英语是由人而不是电脑发明的,它反映了人类的创造力。 “发明”这一动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,且English和动词invent之间为被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was invented。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:那就是为什么星星出来时是看得见的,但灯熄灭时是看不见的。根据空后的are可知本空应用可数名词复数形式,故填stars。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。根据句意可知本空应用提示词visible的反义词invisible“看不见的”,故填invisible。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:那就是为什么当我给我的手表上发条时,它开始运转,但当我结束这篇文章时,它结束了。根据句意可知,本空前后分句为转折关系,故填but。
第三节 单词拼写(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
根据首字母或所给汉语释义,写出所需单词的完整形式。(每空一词)
46. The ________ (不熟悉的) slang is likely to add the difficulty in learning English. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)

【解析】
【详解】句意:这些不熟悉的俚语很可能会增加英语学习的难度。根据汉语提示“不熟悉的”可知,此处为形容词unfamiliar,作定语,修饰名词slang。
47. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood ______ (压力).
【答案】pressure
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:事实上,女性患高血压的可能性更小。根据汉语意思“压力”以及上文high blood可知表示“高血压”应填名词,故填pressure。
48. He asked the question out of c________. (根据首字母单词拼写)

Learning to play the guitar perfectly exemplifies this. For a long time, I was frightened by complex chords and sore fingers, only dreaming of playing a full song.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jenny was a shy girl with a sweet voice. She had a passion for writing and her compositions were so beautifully written that her teacher Mr. Hill often read them in front of the whole class.
One day, Mr. Hill announced a school speech contest (比赛) that was to take place in two weeks and Jenny secretly wanted to take part. But speaking in front of so many people made her heart race, so she was afraid to sign up.
The next day, in class, Mr. Hill talked about the contest. “To anyone feeling nervous,” he said loudly enough for everyone to hear. “Don’t let fear hold you back. You can make full use of AI tools — they can listen to your reading, tell you how to change your tone (语气) and speed, and help you develop speaking skills. It’s a great way to learn something new while practicing!” Jenny’s eyes widened with surprise, as she’d never thought of AI as a helper for speeches. Encouraged by Mr. Hill’s words, Jenny signed up for the contest, for she thought to herself, “At least I can have a shot and challenge myself.”
After school, Jenny told her parents about Mr. Hill’s advice and her determination to try. They reacted positively. Her dad downloaded a speech-training app, through which Jenny tried reading her draft (稿子). To her great joy, the app not only pointed out where she spoke too softly but suggested proper pausing between lines. Following the tips, she repeated her speech draft section by section until she felt confident. Her mom and dad took turns acting as her audience and she was surprised to find herself improving greatly day by day.
