They saw more than 30 false killer whales (伪虎鲸) swimming there. Among them, at least three baby false killer whales were playing near their mothers. The team recorded the scene (场景) at that moment, as it was important for science. They are coming back. Past records ·In 2022, people first found a large group of false killer whales in Haimen, Nantong. ·From June to July 2023, about 60 false killer whales swam around in Qidong, Nantong. ·In June 2024, people saw about 30 false killer whales in Nantong. About false killer whales They are very large, mostly black or dark grey, with big mouths. On average, a grown-up false killer whale is about 4.9 metres long, and weighs between 1 and 2.5 tons. They often live in large groups in warm oceans. People protect them because they are in danger. Why do they keep coming back? The waters near Nantong are becoming a better home for these animals. Thanks to the fishing rules, the sea environment is becoming safer, and there is more food for them. ( ) 21. Why did the team record the scene then? A. Because the sea animals were large. B. Because it was important for science. C. Because it was interesting to watch. ( ) 22. What facts do we know about false killer whales? ①They are large and black with white mouths. ②They can grow up to 4.9 metres long. ③They often stay together in warm waters. ④They are in danger. A. ②③ B. ①④ C. ③④ ( ) 23. What brings false killer whales back to the waters near Nantong? A. Warmer water temperature. B. A large group of sea animals. C. A safe environment and much food. B Lily and Mia were good friends, and everyone loved their warm friendship. However, Lily thought Mia always seemed better. Mia could finish maths problems faster, and her handwriting was cleaner. Even in sports, Mia jumped higher. One day, their teacher asked them to make a class poster as a team. Lily was worried then. Mia said, “I’m better at drawing, so I’ll draw the pictures. You can do the writing.” For three days, Mia drew colourful pictures, and Lily wrote. But every time Lily wrote something, Mia would say, “Maybe try this word?” On the fourth day, Lily shouted unhappily, “You always correct (纠正) me. You’re better than me! Maybe we shouldn’t be friends!” Mia’s eyes filled with tears. “I don’t think so. I try so hard just because I compare myself with you. Your stories were always good, so I practised writing at home. In maths class, you understood everything so quickly — I had to work twice as hard to keep up. I didn’t tell you because I thought you were better than me.” Lily was surprised. She never knew Mia felt the same way. Lily said, “Maybe we don’t need to be better than each other. We could be better together.” Mia nodded. After that, Mia asked Lily for advice on colours, and Lily asked Mia to read her writing. They laughed more and worked more happily. Finally, they understood: comparing builds walls; connecting builds bridges (桥). ( ) 24. What did Lily think Mia was better at? A. Drawing, singing, and sport. B. Maths, handwriting, and sport. C. Writing, drawing, and handwriting. ( ) 25. Which of the following shows the changes in Lily’s feelings? A. excited; They stopped fighting B. sad; Mia didn’t listen to her at first C. angry; Mia shared her true feelings ( ) 26. Which of the following can best describe Mia? A. Slow and forgetful. B. Outgoing and untidy. C. Hard-working and honest. ( ) 27. What can we learn from Lily’s words in the last paragraph? A. Always try to be the best. B. Don’t compare ourselves with others. C. Focus on our own work. C Cats always land on their feet. Many scientists tried to find out why, but there are still some questions without answers. Now, a study shows that a cat’s spine (脊柱) may hold the key. In 1894, a scientist named Étienne-Jules Marey took the first pictures of a cat turning in the air as it fell. They showed that the cat was able to twist (扭转) in the air, so it landed on its feet. This seemed unusual. In science, if something turns in the air, it needs a force (力). However, no one knew exactly how the cat did it. In order to find out how cats do this trick, scientists at Yamaguchi University did a study. They first studied cats’ spines carefully. They found that each cat’s spine has two parts: the front half, and the back half. The front half of the spine is much lighter and more flexible (灵活的) than the back half. In fact, it can twist about three times as far as the back half. It moves like a person’s neck. Next, they watched two cats falling many times. They discovered that the cats didn’t turn over all at once. Instead, the front half turned first, and then the back half followed. This was because the front half is easier to move. The ability might also help cats when they are running fast or turning quickly. This study helped us understand how cats twist in the air. In the future, scientists hope to study more cats’ falling movements, and even create 3D models of them. ( ) 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Scientists solved all the questions. B. Scientists were not interested in cats. C. The spine may explain cats’ landing. ( ) 29. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The process of the study. B. The weight of the spine. C. Different parts of a cat’s spine. ( ) 30. What do the words “the ability” in paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A. Cats can run faster than most other animals. B. Cats can turn quickly and easily without falling. C. Cats can move two parts of their spine in different ways. ( ) 31. What can we infer (推断) about the scientists’ further study? A. It will focus on how to make 3D models. B. It will find out more facts about cats’ movements. C. It will explain why cats run faster and faster. 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Outdoor spaces play an important role in our daily lives.

In fact, the way of travelling changes a lot with age. A new study shows the differences across age groups. Different age groups travel differently. People aged 35-44 travel most. Those over 65 do not travel often, though more than 75% of them still enjoy vacations. When it comes to hotel choices, more than half of travellers aged 13-28 choose hotels with many services (服务). People aged over 65 prefer (更喜欢) common hotels. People travel for different reasons. Most people travel to rest and relax. However, for young travellers, the most important thing is to spend time with their loved ones. This shows younger travellers care more about experiences with friends and family than just having a rest. Travel spending also changes with age. Older travellers usually spend more. People over 65 spend about €750 on a trip on average. Travellers aged 18-24 spend the least, around €600. Most people stay out for 4-6 nights during a trip, but those over 54 prefer a trip of 12days or longer. These facts show age affects the way we explore the world. You may prefer to relax on a beach or go on an adventure (冒险) with friends, but there’s no right or wrong way — just different ways for different ages. 56. Who travels most according to the study? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 57.
