A woman planning “Harry Potter night” at a supper club she runs at home has been forced to change their name after a warning from film studio Warner Bros (华纳兄弟).
The evenings in Kiburn, north London, were due to include food and other elements from the Harry Potter books. However, Warner Bros, maker of the Harry Potter films, wrote to the club’s organizer “Ms Marmite Lover” warning that the parties would infringe (侵犯) its rights.
The club will now hold two “Genetic Wizard nights” for Halloween. On her blog, Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer.
Guests would have to enter the venue, called the Underground Restaurant, through “Diagon Alley” and by giving a password-while a “Sorting Hat” would decide the seating plan.
After Warner Bros learned about the ticketed (被加标签) event, it wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying: “While we are delighted that you are such a fan of the Harry Potter series, unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry Potter Properties without our permission would amount to an infringement of Warner’s rights.”
The letter added: “Warner does not, of course, object to you holding a Genetic Wizard Halloween night at the Underground Restaurant.”
Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的) and creative”.
The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each, except alcohol. Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-profit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories.
The vast majority of non-commercial events are able to go ahead with the studio’s support, it says.
41. Mr. Marmite Lover had to change their name because ______.
A. the use of the name infringed Warner’s rights
B. JK Rowling didn’t approve of their doing so
C. the Underground Restaurant charged too much
D. they sold tickets to whoever attends the supper club
42. From the passage we know that Ms Marmite was ______.
A. the researcher of Harry Potter films B. the maker of the Harry Potter films
C. a cooking- book writer D. a single parent
43. The seventh paragraph told us that ______.
A. Ms Marmite Lover was creative and she is good at cooking
B. JK Rowling was sure to agree with what a creative woman did
C. Ms Marmite Lover attempted to find excuse for what she had done
D. JK Rowling suffered a lot before she published her novel series
44. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. “Sorting Hat” is the password to go through “Diagon Alley”
B. Ms Marmite Lover was not pleased with Wamer Bros
C. the charges that the guests pay for the dinner include alcohol
D. Warner is a charity organization which helps the single mother.
45. The word “mother” in the seventh Paragraph refers to ______.
A. J. K. Rowling B. the food writer C. Warner Bros D. Ms Marmite
C
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Music and Emotions
Music has a powerful effect on our emotions. Have you ever listened to a sad song and felt tears in your eyes? Or heard an energetic tune and wanted to dance? Scientists have studied how music affects the brain and found that it can change our mood, reduce stress, and even relieve pain.
One famous experiment involved patients who were about to undergo surgery. Half of them listened to relaxing music before the operation, while the other half did not. The results showed that those who listened to music felt less anxious and needed less pain medication afterward. Music therapy is now used in hospitals to help patients recover faster.
But why does music have such an effect? According to researchers, music activates the brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine — a chemical that makes us feel good. This is the same chemical released when we eat delicious food or fall in love. That’s why our favorite songs can instantly lift our spirits.
However, not all music affects everyone the same way. Personal preference plays a big role. A song that makes one person happy might remind another of a sad memory. So the next time you feel down, try putting on your favorite playlist — it might be just what you need.
46. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music can cure all diseases.
B. Music has a strong influence on human emotions.
C. Listening to music is better than taking medicine.
D. Everyone likes the same kind of music.
47. What did the experiment with surgery patients show?
A. Music helped them feel less pain and anxiety.
B. Music made them fall asleep faster.
C. They preferred classical music to pop music.
D. Music had no effect on them.
48. The word “dopamine” in Paragraph 3 is probably a kind of ________.
A. music B. disease C. chemical D. memory
49. According to the passage, why does music affect people differently?
A. Because people have different musical preferences.
B. Because some people don’t like music.
C. Because music is too complicated.
D. Because the brain works differently.
50. What is the author’s attitude toward music therapy?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
第II卷 写作(共30分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5题;每题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.
Like his fathers, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills.
Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally end up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player.
Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.
After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, “I never really set out to change the game. What I wanted to do was just be myself..I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put in the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible.
51. Why does the author mention the “simple basket” at the beginning of the passage? (No more than 15 words )
______________________________________________________________________
52. What made the ball go in all directions? (No more than 10 words )
________________________________________________________________________
53. What does the underlined word “day in and day out” mean in English? (No more than 5 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
54. When did Stephen Curry led the Warriors to their first championship? (No more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________________
55. What can we learn from Stephen’s success? (No more than 10 words )
_______________________________________________________________________

1. ---Tony claimed to have seen a UFO last night.
---Oh,________! I don’t believe a word of that.
A. come along B. come off C. come on D. come over
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:---Tony声称他昨晚看到了一个不明飞行物。---哦,别这样!我一个字也不相信。A.come along一起向前走;B. come off 举行;C.come on 加油,别这样;D.come over过来。根据句意和语境可知是应该是come on,一般在口语中表示一种语气,故选C。
2. The law ________ equal rights for the students in senior high schools.
A. guarantees B. composes C. seizes D. declines
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:法律保障高中学生的平等权利。A. guarantees保障;B. composes组成;C. seizes抓住;D. declines拒绝。根据句意可知,此处为动词guarantees“保障”,指法律保障权利。
3. The country life he was used to ________ greatly since 1992.
A. change B. has changed C. changing D. have changed
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:自从1992年以来,他所习惯的乡村生活发生了巨大的变化。句子的主语是“The country life”,“he was used to”是省略了关系代词的定语从句,用来修饰主语。根据句中的时间状语“since 1992”可知,主句谓语动词应使用现在完成时。同时,主语“The country life”为第三人称单数,谓语动词需用单数形式has changed。
4. The speech was so ________ that they were all ________.
A. inspiring; exciting B. inspired; excited
C. inspiring; excited D. inspired; exciting
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:演讲很鼓舞人心,他们都很兴奋。分析句子,设空处使用形容词作表语,-ing结尾的形容词修饰物;-ed结尾的形容词修饰人;inspiring意为“鼓舞人心的”,inspired意为“受到鼓舞的”;exciting意为“令人兴奋的”,excited意为“使人感到兴奋的”。句中第一空the speech为物,故使用inspiring;第二空主语为they为人,故用excited。故选C。
【点睛】
5. In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl whose ankle is __________.
A. twice its normal size B. twice normal it size
C. its twice normal size than D. it normal size twice
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查倍数表达法。句意:在这个特殊的场景中间,我看到一个小女孩,她的脚踝是正常大小的两倍。结合选项和句意可知,这里表示的是小女孩的脚踝是正常脚踝大小的两倍,应用倍数表达法。“倍数词+the size/weight/height...+of...”表示“是……的几倍大/重/高……”,A项是该结构的变体,相当于twice the size of the normal ankle,所以A项符合题意。故选A。
6. — What do you think of the novel?
— Excellent. It’s worth ________ a second time.
A. to read B. to be read C. reading D. being read
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你觉得这本小说怎么样?——非常棒。它值得再读一遍。be worth doing为固定搭配,意为“值得做某事”,用动名词形式reading,主动形式表示被动意义。
7. Recently, I asked a friend had just returned from a long walk in the woods she had observed. “Nothing in particular,” she replied.
A. who, where B. who, what C. that, where D. which, what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:最近,我问一位刚在树林里长途散步回来的朋友,她观察到了什么。“没什么特别的,”她回答说。第一空引导定语从句修饰先行词a friend,先行词指人,且在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who或that;第二空引导宾语从句,在从句中作observed的宾语,表示“什么”,应用连接代词what。
8. — This sauce needs a bit of flavour.
— I know, some lemon juice should ________.
A. do the trick B. carry on C. fall behind D. stick to
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这酱汁需要一点味道。——我知道,加点柠檬汁应该就行了。A. do the trick起作用,奏效;B. carry on继续;C. fall behind落后;D. stick to坚持,粘住。根据语境,前文提到酱汁缺少味道,后文提到使用柠檬汁作为补救措施,表示柠檬汁可以达到预期的改善效果,do the trick“起作用,奏效”符合语境。
9. We are very _______ of what you have done to help us out of the trouble.
A. regretful B. embarrassed C. appreciative D. delighted
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我们非常感谢你为帮助我们摆脱困境所做的一切。A. regretful后悔的;B. embarrassed窘迫的;C. appreciative感激的;D. delighted高兴的。根据“what you have done to help us out of the trouble”可知,“你”有帮助“我们”摆脱困境,因此appreciative“感激的”符合语境,构成固定短语be appreciative of,意为“对……表示感激”,表示对此很感激。故选C。
10. ________ didn’t seem worthwhile writing it all again.
A. This B. That C. Which D. It
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:把这一切再写一遍似乎不值得。此处为固定句型“It seems/is worthwhile doing sth.”,意为“做某事(似乎)是值得的”。在此结构中,“It”作为形式主语置于句首,而真正的主语是后置的动名词短语“writing it all again”。
11. Despite from several publishers, J.D. Salinger refused to give up but continued writing.
A. rejections B. revelation C. interaction D. impression

A woman planning “Harry Potter night” at a supper club she runs at home has been forced to change their name after a warning from film studio Warner Bros (华纳兄弟).
The evenings in Kiburn, north London, were due to include food and other elements from the Harry Potter books. However, Warner Bros, maker of the Harry Potter films, wrote to the club’s organizer “Ms Marmite Lover” warning that the parties would infringe (侵犯) its rights.
The club will now hold two “Genetic Wizard nights” for Halloween. On her blog, Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer.
Guests would have to enter the venue, called the Underground Restaurant, through “Diagon Alley” and by giving a password-while a “Sorting Hat” would decide the seating plan.
After Warner Bros learned about the ticketed (被加标签) event, it wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying: “While we are delighted that you are such a fan of the Harry Potter series, unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry Potter Properties without our permission would amount to an infringement of Warner’s rights.”
The letter added: “Warner does not, of course, object to you holding a Genetic Wizard Halloween night at the Underground Restaurant.”
Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的) and creative”.
The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each, except alcohol. Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-profit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories.
The vast majority of non-commercial events are able to go ahead with the studio’s support, it says.
41. Mr. Marmite Lover had to change their name because ______.
A. the use of the name infringed Warner’s rights
B. JK Rowling didn’t approve of their doing so
C. the Underground Restaurant charged too much
D. they sold tickets to whoever attends the supper club
42. From the passage we know that Ms Marmite was ______.
A. the researcher of Harry Potter films B. the maker of the Harry Potter films
C. a cooking- book writer D. a single parent
43. The seventh paragraph told us that ______.
A. Ms Marmite Lover was creative and she is good at cooking
B. JK Rowling was sure to agree with what a creative woman did
C. Ms Marmite Lover attempted to find excuse for what she had done
D. JK Rowling suffered a lot before she published her novel series
44. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. “Sorting Hat” is the password to go through “Diagon Alley”
B. Ms Marmite Lover was not pleased with Wamer Bros
C. the charges that the guests pay for the dinner include alcohol
D. Warner is a charity organization which helps the single mother.

Music and Emotions
Music has a powerful effect on our emotions. Have you ever listened to a sad song and felt tears in your eyes? Or heard an energetic tune and wanted to dance? Scientists have studied how music affects the brain and found that it can change our mood, reduce stress, and even relieve pain.
One famous experiment involved patients who were about to undergo surgery. Half of them listened to relaxing music before the operation, while the other half did not. The results showed that those who listened to music felt less anxious and needed less pain medication afterward. Music therapy is now used in hospitals to help patients recover faster.
But why does music have such an effect? According to researchers, music activates the brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine — a chemical that makes us feel good. This is the same chemical released when we eat delicious food or fall in love. That’s why our favorite songs can instantly lift our spirits.
However, not all music affects everyone the same way. Personal preference plays a big role. A song that makes one person happy might remind another of a sad memory. So the next time you feel down, try putting on your favorite playlist — it might be just what you need.
46. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music can cure all diseases.
B. Music has a strong influence on human emotions.
C. Listening to music is better than taking medicine.
D. Everyone likes the same kind of music.
47. What did the experiment with surgery patients show?
A. Music helped them feel less pain and anxiety.
B. Music made them fall asleep faster.
C. They preferred classical music to pop music.
D. Music had no effect on them.
48. The word “dopamine” in Paragraph 3 is probably a kind of ________.
A. music B. disease C. chemical D. memory
49. According to the passage, why does music affect people differently?
A. Because people have different musical preferences.
B. Because some people don’t like music.
C. Because music is too complicated.
D. Because the brain works differently.
50. What is the author’s attitude toward music therapy?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
【答案】46. B 47. A 48. C 49. A 50. C
【解析】
【导语】本文探讨了音乐对人类情绪的深刻影响。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“Music has a powerful effect on our emotions.(音乐对我们的情绪有强大的影响)”并通读全文可知,全文从实验结果、作用原理、个体差异多个角度围绕音乐对人类情绪的影响展开论述,核心主旨是音乐对人类情绪有很强的影响。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The results showed that those who listened to music felt less anxious and needed less pain medication afterward.(结果显示,那些听音乐的人焦虑感更轻,术后需要的止痛药也更少)”可知,这个针对手术患者的实验证明音乐能够帮助他们减轻焦虑和疼痛感。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“According to researchers, music activates the brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine — a chemical that makes us feel good.(研究人员表示,音乐能激活大脑的奖赏系统,释放多巴胺——这是一种能让我们产生愉悦感的化学物质)”可知,多巴胺是一种化学物质。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, not all music affects everyone the same way. Personal preference plays a big role.(然而,并非所有音乐对每个人的影响都是一样的。个人偏好起到了很大的作用)”可知,音乐对人们的影响不同是因为人们的音乐偏好不同。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So the next time you feel down, try putting on your favorite playlist — it might be just what you need.(所以下次你心情低落的时候,试试播放你最爱的歌单——这可能正是你需要的)”可知,作者建议心情低落的时候听音乐,说明作者认可音乐的积极作用,对音乐疗法持支持态度。
第II卷 写作(共30分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5题;每题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.
Like his fathers, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills.
Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally end up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player.
Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.
After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, “I never really set out to change the game. What I wanted to do was just be myself..I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put in the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Stephen Curry通过自信、努力、毅力和来自别人的帮助,最终成为了一名优秀的篮球运动员的故事。
【51题详解】
考查推理判断。根据文章第一段“Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.(在弗吉尼亚州的小石窟附近,一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里的祖父的房子通往附近的树林。这里远离美国国家篮球协会(NBA)明亮的灯光和闪闪发光的球场,正是在这条路上,斯蒂芬的祖父把一块塑料绑在电线杆上,做了一个简单的篮筐。)”可知,文章开头提到“简单的篮筐”是为了展示斯蒂芬的篮球生涯是从一个低谷发展起来的。故答案为:To show that Stephen’s basketball career developed from a low point.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions.(篮筐下的道路两旁的颠簸和岩石使球向四面八方弹跳。)”可知,篮筐下的坑洼和石头使得球四处乱弹。故答案为:The bumps and rocks under the basket.
【53题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线词所在句子“Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills.(只有完全瞄准球门中心的射门才会进入又厚又重的篮筐。就这样,日复一日的练习帮助斯蒂芬提高了他的技能。)”可知“Day in and day out”意思是“每天”,即Everyday。故答案为:Everyday.
【54题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段最后一句“In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.(2015年,斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军,他带领勇士队获得了自1975年以来的第一个总冠军。)”可知 Stephen Curry在2015年带领勇士队赢得了他们的第一个冠军。故答案为:He led the Warriors to their first championship in 2015.
【55题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible.(斯蒂芬·库里激励着别人相信自己,他是一个活生生的例子,证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么样的人。通过自信、努力、毅力和一个旧铁箍的帮助,他证明了一切皆有可能。)”可知从Stephen的成功中我们可以学到,自信、努力和毅力是成功的要素。故答案为:Self-belief, hard work and perseverance account for success.

The Teacher Who Inspires Me Most
There are many teachers in my school life. Among them, Mr. Li, my physics teacher, inspires me most. He is knowledgeable and easy-going, always making his classes lively and interesting.
Last term, I failed an important physics exam. I felt discouraged and lost interest in the subject. Mr. Li noticed my low spirits. He patiently analyzed my mistakes and told me not to be afraid of failure. He believed I had the ability to do well and guided me to form good learning habits. With his help, my physics improved little by little.
I really appreciate his trust and encouragement. He teaches me to keep trying when facing difficulties. His influence will stay with me forever.
