The rich, deep and fruity smell of apples will attract you. “It is really a wonderful time, one of the most beautiful times for the farm,” Matilda Temperley points out as we enjoy the sight of the trees with apples, relax in the cool morning light and bathe in a light mist that appears around the farm. While the Temperleys have been farming here since the 1960s, cider has been made here for hundreds of years, with the area famous for its apples and the quality of cider it produces. “We have a total of about 105 different kinds of apples on the farm, but we use 40 main kinds in our cider,” Matilda explains as we head down a path. “Harvesting starts in September with pears and eating apples, and then the main cider apple harvest starts in October and runs through until Christmas.” As we walk past the trees, the different apples are close to our eyes and so many apples are on the trees. Matilda picks up a small, yellowy-green apple from the ground as we walk, taking a bite before tossing the core into the trees. We reach a few rows of trees that look different from the others. These trees are thick with small branches and small red apples. “They are called ‘Stoke Red’.” “You can always recognize them because they look like big olive trees and grow like weeds,” she explains. “Living among apple trees and enjoying the smell of cider, what a pleasant life it is!” I say to myself while walking among apple trees with Matilda. 19. The Temperleys began to farm here ________. A. about forty years ago B. about sixty years ago C. about eighty years ago D. about 100 years ago 20. The underlined word “Harvesting” means ________. A. Watering the trees B. Making wine from apples C. Collecting fruits from the trees D. Having a good time under apple trees 21. Why can we always recognize “Stoke Red”? A. Because they taste very sweet. B. Because they grow like weeds. C. Because they grow green apples. D. Because they are used for making cider. 22. What is the writer doing on the farm? A. Buying or selling cider. B. Producing cider with apples. C. Planting apple trees with friends. D. Getting relaxed among apple trees. 【答案】19. B 20. C 21. B 22. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了作者在秋日探访一座苹果酒农场，和农场的Matilda一同在苹果园中游览，了解农场的务农历史、苹果品种、收获时间以及特色苹果品种的相关信息，感受农场秋日的美好氛围。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“While the Temperleys have been farming here since the 1960s”可推知，Temperley家族从20世纪60年代开始在此务农，距今约六十年。 【20题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Harvesting starts in September with pears and eating apples, and then the main cider apple harvest starts in October and runs through until Christmas.”可推知，该词后接梨、苹果等果实的相关安排，后文也出现了同义的harvest表示收获，因此Harvesting的意思是从树上采摘果实。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“You can always recognize them because they look like big olive trees and grow like weeds”可推知，“Stoke Red”容易被认出，是因为它长得像大橄榄树，且像杂草一样生长。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“as we enjoy the sight of the trees with apples, relax in the cool morning light and bathe in a light mist that appears around the farm”以及最后一段“while walking among apple trees with Matilda”可推知，作者在农场的苹果树间游览放松。 C When I was your age, my mom always told me, “I just want you to be happy.” But what exactly is happiness? Is it about having fun playing the latest online games? Is it about getting the basketball shoes in fashion? Is it about achieving our goals? Is it a destination, or is it more like a road that never ends? Is happiness on social media? It surely seems that way. Take a look at the most popular platforms Weibo and Xiaohongshu. Youngsters love posting perfect pictures of their best moments on them to get likes from others. It usually takes them hours to make their pictures perfect and hours to reply to others’ comments. They do get a lot of likes from others but do these likes bring them joy? Plenty of research has connected social media use to low moods. One U.S. study found that people who frequently check their social media are twice as likely to feel lonely. Of course, when we share a happy moment, we must have felt happy. But over the years, I’ve come to discover and experience that when something good happens, after a while, we return to feeling the same as before. In other words, happiness doesn’t last for long. As the feeling fades (消退), we search for new sources of happiness. Happily, there’s still hope for us to find lasting happiness: emotional authenticity (情感真实性) — accepting fear and sadness. It’s not easy, but when we are honest about our experiences, we build deeper and more meaningful connections with others. And those friendships bring us smiles that last much longer than any number of likes. March 20th is World Happiness Day. Take it as a reminder that happiness isn’t about running after a picture-perfect life. Trying to be happy all the time is like trying to catch a unicorn (独角兽) — it’s just not going to happen. Instead, pay attention to your own journey and accept different feelings you’ll feel along the way. 23. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. The reasons why people love posting pictures online. B. The influence of social media on users’ emotions. C. How to avoid feeling lonely when using social media. D. Which social media platforms are the most suitable for sharing life. 24. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following lines shows the change of happiness? A. A B. B C. C D. D 25. What does the writer want to tell people with the unicorn analogy (比喻) in the last paragraph? A. Trying to be happy all the time is an impossible goal. B. It is easy to achieve a picture-perfect life if people keep trying. C. Unicorns are magical creatures that can bring long-lasting happiness. D. People should spend more time chasing different things to feel happy. 26. Which of the following shows the structure of this text? A. B. C. D. 【答案】23. B 24. C 25. A 26. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文，围绕“幸福的本质”展开探讨，开篇提出对幸福的疑问，接着指出社交媒体的点赞、日常好事带来的快乐都无法持久，随后提出获得持久幸福的方法是保持情感真实性、接纳负面情绪，最后总结点明幸福是一段旅程，要接受沿途的不同感受。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Plenty of research has connected social media use to low moods. One U.S. study found that people who frequently check their social media are twice as likely to feel lonely.” 可知，第二段阐述了社交媒体使用与低落情绪、孤独感的关联，体现了社交媒体对用户情绪的影响。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第3段“when something good happens, after a while, we return to feeling the same as before. In other words, happiness doesn’t last for long.” 可知，幸福度会伴随好事发生上升，随着时间推移又会逐渐消退，回到初始的平常状态，对应先上升后下降、最终回到初始水平的曲线。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Trying to be happy all the time is like trying to catch a unicorn (独角兽) — it’s just not going to happen.” 可知，作者用“捕捉独角兽”这一不可能实现的事作比喻，说明一直保持快乐是无法达成的目标。 【26题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第1段提出关于幸福的疑问，引出核心话题；第2段论述社交媒体的点赞无法带来真正持久的幸福，第3段论述真实的快乐也会随时间消退，两段并列说明“常见的幸福无法持久”的问题；第4段提出获得持久幸福的方法是保持情感真实性；第5段总结全文，点明幸福的真谛。整体结构为“总起引入→并列论述问题→提出解决方法→总结升华”，与选项A的结构匹配。 (Mr. Wonka is showing the visitors around his chocolate factory. One of the visitors, Veruca Salt, is a girl who wants everything she sees.) Scene One Mr. Wonka led the group into a beautiful room. One hundred squirrels were sitting on stools around a large table, breaking the nuts (坚果) with their teeth at a fantastic speed. “The squirrels are specially trained!” Mr. Wonka explained happily. “They can tell a good nut from a bad nut. The bad ones never get broken. They will be thrown down the rubbish chute (滑道).” Veruca’s eyes grew wide with desire (欲望). “Daddy!” she shouted, stamping on her foot. “I want a trained squirrel! Get me one of them!” “All right, my pet, Daddy will get you one.” Mr. Salt said. Scene Two Mr. Salt walked confidently towards the squirrels. “No! Stop! Don’t!” shouted Mr. Wonka. But it was too late. Mr. Salt caught the nearest squirrel. The squirrel shouted loudly and angrily. Scene Three The moment Mr. Salt touched the squirrel, all the other squirrels stopped working. They turned and looked at him. Then, with a sudden move, they jumped on him. They didn’t bite or scratch him. Instead, they pushed him down the rubbish chute. Veruca shouted, “Daddy! Save my squirrel!” Then the squirrels turned to Veruca. “They’re testing her!” said Mr. Wonka. “They think she’s a bad nut!” Scene Four Seconds later, Veruca was also pushed down the chute by squirrels. Her shouts disappeared gradually. After a while, Mr. Wonka turned to the other children. “It happens about once a week,” he said with a shrug (耸肩).”They are really excellent judges of character.” (Then, Mr. Wonka led the rest of the visitors to another room...) ——adapted from Charlie and the chocolate Factory 27. According to Scene One, what is the squirrels’ job in the room? A. Eating good nuts. B. Breaking good nuts. C. Selling good nuts. D. Producing good nuts. 28. In Scene Two, how did Mr. Wonka feel when he shouted? A. Bored. B. Happy. C. Shocked. D. Peaceful. 29. What can we infer from the text? A. Veruca is a good girl who hardly breaks the rules. B. No one has been pushed down the chute before. C. The other visitors felt sorry for Veruca and her father. D. Mr. Wonka had no plans to save Veruca and her father. 30. Each picture above matches one scene. Which scene is missing? A. Scene One. B. Scene Two. C. Scene Three. D. Scene Four. 【答案】27. B 28. C 29. D 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自童话名著《查理和巧克力工厂》，主要讲述了贪婪任性的女孩Veruca及其父亲在巧克力工厂的坚果车间企图抓走一只受过专业训练的松鼠，最终双双被松鼠判定为“坏坚果”并扔进垃圾滑道的滑稽故事。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。第一幕中明确提到：“One hundred squirrels were sitting on stools around a large table, breaking the nuts with their teeth…”以及“They can tell a good nut from a bad nut. The bad ones never get broken.”，坏坚果不会被咬开，说明松鼠在房间里的具体工作是咬开好的坚果。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。第二幕中明确提到Mr. Wonka大声制止：“‘No! Stop! Don’t!’ shouted Mr. Wonka. But it was too late.”，连用三个带有感叹号的急促否定词，说明面对Mr. Salt突然走上前抓松鼠的不当举动，Mr. Wonka感到十分震惊。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。结合第三、四幕可知父女俩被推进滑道后，Mr. Wonka耸耸肩说道“It happens about once a week…”，随后直接带领其余访客前往另一个房间“Then, Mr. Wonka led the rest of the visitors to another room…”，说明Mr. Wonka并不打算去营救Veruca和她的父亲。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。比对配图与场景可知，图一男子抓松鼠对应第二幕；图二松鼠围在桌旁剥坚果对应第一幕；图三松鼠群扑向男子将其推入滑道对应第三幕；三幅图对应了前三幕，唯独缺少第四幕Veruca也被推下垃圾滑道的画面。 E Have you ever noticed the sharp sound of shoes on the floor when playing basketball? It is a sound so common that we seldom stop to think about it. ____31____ What causes this strange sound? Scientists found that it comes from a physical phenomenon called “stick-slip” (粘滑现象). To study it, they pushed a basketball shoe across a glass plate and recorded the bottom of the shoe. The rubber did not move smoothly. Small parts of the bottom first stuck to the glass. ____32____ At the same time, tiny waves traveled across the rubber very quickly. These quick movements hit the air like lots of little drumbeats. When the beats are regular, they form a clear, high sound. That’s the loud noise we hear in the gym. The bottom pattern (图案) of the shoe is important too. ____33____ But rubber with patterns made a clear sound because the patterns kept the tiny waves in order. So the sound comes from the design as well as from touching the floor. ____34____ For example, engineers might use it to make quieter shoes or even turn the sounds into music. They once made rubber blocks play a short Star Wars tune! Next time you hear trainers screaming across a court, don't just cover your ears. ____35____ There’s always great fun in learning from life. A. Then they suddenly moved forward. B. A smooth piece of rubber made unclear noise. C. This helps increase the force between rubber and the floor. D. This finding may help engineers create better shoes or tools. E. Under the trainers, physics is running faster than the players. F. However, scientists have found some fun facts under the shoe recently. 【答案】31. F 32. A 33. B 34. D 35. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了打篮球时鞋子与地面摩擦发出尖锐声音的原因，说明这种声音与“粘滑现象”和鞋底图案有关，也提到这一发现可能帮助工程师设计更好的鞋子或工具。 【31题详解】 根据前文“我们很少停下来思考这种常见的声音”和后文“是什么导致了这种奇怪的声音？科学家发现……”，可知此处需要一个转折句来引出科学家的研究。选项F“然而，科学家最近在鞋底发现了一些有趣的事实”起到了完美的承上启下作用。 【32题详解】 前文提到了“粘滑现象（stick-slip）”，并说明“鞋底的一小部分首先粘（stuck）在玻璃上”。根据该现象的名称和动作的连贯性，粘住之后必然会发生滑动。选项A“然后它们突然向前移动”准确描述了“滑（slip）”的动作，且句中的“they”指代前文的“Small parts”，逻辑严密。 【33题详解】 空格后一句由“But（但是）”引导，提到“有图案的橡胶发出了清晰的声音”。由此可以推断，空格处应该描述没有图案（即光滑）的橡胶发声的情况，从而与后文形成对比。选项B“一块光滑的橡胶发出不清晰的噪音”完美契合这一语境。 【34题详解】 空格后一句为“例如，工程师可能会利用它来制造更安静的鞋子……”，这说明空格处应该是一个总述句，指出这项研究发现的实际应用价值。选项D“这一发现可能有助于工程师创造更好的鞋子或工具”直接引出了后文的举例说明。 【35题详解】 文章结尾处，前文建议“下次听到鞋子摩擦声时不要只捂住耳朵”，后文感叹“从生活中学习总有很大乐趣”。选项E“在运动鞋下，物理学比球员跑得更快”语言幽默生动，既呼应了打篮球的场景，又点明了文章探讨日常现象背后物理原理的主题，非常适合放在段尾升华主旨。 第II卷（满分50分） IV．综合运用（本题10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分） MUSCLE MEMORY Learning a language, as you know, is not easy.

Parents and grandparents always know who to ask when they have problems with their phones or digital gadgets—the nearest teenager, of course! So different organizations around the country have had the brilliant idea of connecting teenage digital experts to people in need of help with technology. What’s happening in your area? Comments (3 replies) A Phoebe and Logan We’re members of our school’s Good Citizens project. So we spend every Wednesday afternoon at a club for senior citizens — that means older people who don’t work anymore. They bring along their laptops, tablets and phones to ask us for advice on how to use them. It’s a simple idea and works really well! Most of their questions are about Skype and downloading photos and videos. These are great ways for people to keep in touch with family and friends living far away. I think what we do is a sort of exchange: they learn some digital skills from us and we learn more about life from talking to them! B Noemi I’m in the SOS Tech group at my youth club. There are about ten of us and we go to the community centre every Saturday morning to teach people how to use their digital gadgets. All sorts of people come for help — it’s not only older people that don’t feel confident about using computers. The other day, I showed a woman how to do her shopping online because she couldn’t drive after an operation on her leg. Another man came in with a new tablet. He decided he’d better learn to use it because he didn’t want to be left behind! What do I get out of it? Well, I’ve discovered that I enjoy explaining things to people, so I’m thinking about becoming a teacher! C Louis You should see the computer room in our public library on a Tuesday evening! It’s one of the busiest places in town. People can come in and ask for advice about technology. I’m on the team of experts and we try to help everyone.

They faced terrible storms, dry deserts and cold mountains on the way bravely. They never gave up and kept moving forward bravely when they finally reached their goal—a long-awaited meeting with the powerful Mongol leader Kublai Khan (忽必烈). The historic event took place in 1275 at the Khan’s beautiful summer capital in Shangdu, in what is now northern China. Marco Polo’s trip had, in fact, started more than 9,000 kilometers away in Venice when he was just a teenager. His father and uncle already knew Kublai Khan from an earlier visit nine years before, when they had spent a short time in Shangdu. On this second trip, the Polos stayed for 17 years before they went back home. They tried their best to help the Khan, and carried out many important jobs for him. It is likely that the Khan thought it was a great honor that these Europeans—who were rare in China—had made this very hard journey, and he used the chance to make good use of their skills and knowledge. While he worked for Kublai Khan, “the most powerful man in the world with large populations, wide lands and great wealth,” Marco Polo (马可波罗) was able to learn and experience many things that were new to Europeans. He admired the Khan’s newly finished capital—Daidu—whose streets were “so straight and so broad.” The city was in what is now the center of Beijing, and Kublai Khan’s city planning can still be seen in the straight, wide streets of China’s modern capital. We learn from Marco Polo that, in the rule of his large country, Kublai Khan used a fast and simple message system. Horse riders stood every 40 kilometers, so messages could travel 500 kilometers a day. Marco also learned about asbestos cloth, which is made from a kind of stone and does not burn. Paper money also surprised him because it was not yet used in the West at that time. People’s homes were heated with “black stones which burn like wood.” Those stones were coal—unknown in most of Europe—and there was so much coal that many people could take a hot bath three times a week. Although the Khan did not want his visitors to leave, the Polos finally got permission to return home in 1292. Marco kept writing down what he saw during the sea trip through Sumatra and India. After he returned home, Marco finished a book about his trip, full of details about his wonderful cultural experiences. It was probably the most important work to introduce the geography of the East to people in the West. 49. Add the events to the timeline. a. Marco Polo writes a book. b. Niccolò, Maffeo, and Marco Polo leave China. c. Niccolò, Maffeo, and Marco Polo visit India and Sumatra. d. Niccolò, Maffeo, and Marco Polo meet Kublai Khan. e. Niccolò, Maffeo, and Marco Polo start their journey and leave Venice. f. Niccolò and Maffeo Polo meet Kublai Khan. _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ 50. Complete the notes below using a word or number from the reading passage. *Marco Polo (MP) Kublai Khan (KK) MP’s journey to China • Started in Venice when MP was a __________ • __________ many difficulties • Stayed in China for __________ years, left 1292 • Helped KK with different __________ • KK “considered it an honor” because there were few __________ in China MP’s observations • KK had amazing palace • Impressed by capital, Daidu (now center of __________) • KK had fast messaging system __________ horse riders • Learned about: 1 asbestos cloth, 2 paper money, 3 __________ Why important? • Used notes to complete a __________ • Was considered “single greatest contribution to geographical knowledge” about East to the West 51. Who do you think got more from the Polos’ visit to China—Marco Polo or Kublai Khan? Why? (About 20 words.) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】49. ①. f ②. e ③. d ④. b ⑤. c ⑥. a 50. ①. teenager ②. Faced ③. 17 ④. jobs ⑤. Europeans ⑥. Beijing ⑦. with ⑧. coal ⑨. book 51. I think Marco Polo got more because he learned many new things and wrote a famous book about his journey. (Or: I think Kublai Khan got more because he made good use of the Polos’ skills and knowledge to rule his country.) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了马可•波罗及其父亲和叔叔在中国长达17年的不可思议的旅行经历，以及马可•波罗回国后写书向西方介绍东方地理的重要贡献。 【49题详解】 根据文章第二段“His father and uncle already knew Kublai Khan from an earlier visit nine years before”可知，尼科洛和马费奥在9年前（1275-9=1266年）见过忽必烈，故1266年对应f；根据第一段“had been traveling for three and a half years... The historic event took place in 1275”可知，他们旅行了三年半于1275年到达，所以出发时间是1271年，故1271年对应e；1275年他们见到了忽必烈，故第三个框对应d；根据第五段“the Polos finally got permission to return home in 1292”可知，1292年他们离开中国，故1292年对应b；根据第五段“Marco kept writing down what he saw during the sea trip through Sumatra and India.”可知，离开中国后他们途经苏门答腊和印度，故第五个框对应c；根据第五段“After he returned home, Marco finished a book about his trip”可知，回家后马可•波罗写了一本书，故最后一个框对应a。 【50题详解】 ①根据第二段“started more than 9,000 kilometers away in Venice when he was just a teenager.”可知，马可•波罗开始旅行时还是个十几岁的少年，故填teenager。 ②根据第一段“They faced terrible storms, dry deserts and cold mountains on the way bravely.”可知，他们面临了许多困难，故填Faced，位于句首需大写。 ③根据第二段“On this second trip, the Polos stayed for 17 years before they went back home.”可知，他们在中国待了17年，故填17。 ④根据第二段“carried out many important jobs for him.”可知，他们帮助忽必烈完成了许多工作，故填jobs。 ⑤根据第二段“It is likely that the Khan thought it was a great honor that these Europeans—who were rare in China”可知，当时在中国欧洲人很少，故填Europeans。 ⑥根据第三段“The city was in what is now the center of Beijing”可知，大都是现在北京的中心，故填Beijing。 ⑦根据第四段“Kublai Khan used a fast and simple message system. Horse riders stood every 40 kilometers”可知，忽必烈使用带有骑马者的快速信息系统，故填with（原文其他语句中有with，仍然符合使用原文词汇填空的要求）。 ⑧根据第四段“Those stones were coal”可知，马可·波罗还了解了煤炭，故填coal。 ⑨根据第五段“Marco finished a book about his trip”可知，他用笔记完成了一本书，故填book。 【51题详解】 本题为开放性问题，言之有理即可，答案不唯一。若认为马可•波罗收获更多，可从他学到了新知识并写了著名的书的角度回答。若认为忽必烈收获更多，可从他利用波罗一家的技能和知识的角度回答。 VI．书面表达（共15分） 52. 请以“My Great Change in Study”为题，写一篇英语短文。 要点： 1．你过去在学习上遇到的问题；2．你找到的有效的学习方法；3．你的变化与收获。 要求： 1．短文须包含所有要点，可适当发挥；2．词数100左右；3．文中不得出现真实姓名、校名。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】 My Great Change in Study I used to have trouble with my study.

Amanda wants to make fruit tea by following The Best Fruit Tea You Can Make at Home. She has several kinds of fruit in the kitchen: apples, bananas, oranges, papayas, pears, and strawberries. Which are some of the fruits she can use to make the fruit tea? A. Oranges, papayas and pears. B. Apples, bananas and oranges. C. Apples, oranges and strawberries. D. Bananas, papayas and strawberries. 17. How long do we need to wait after putting fruit pieces into the hot tea? A. At least 10 seconds B. 2 to 3 minutes C. About 4 minutes D. 5 to 6 minutes 18. According to the reading, which is correct when we make the fruit tea? A. Boiling water with sugar in it. B. Making sure to take out the fruit. C. Putting in the fruit and the lemon juice at the same time. D. Leaving the teabags in the pot of hot water for 2 to 3 minutes B Autumn on a cider farm smells like apples. The rich, deep and fruity smell of apples will attract you. “It is really a wonderful time, one of the most beautiful times for the farm,” Matilda Temperley points out as we enjoy the sight of the trees with apples, relax in the cool morning light and bathe in a light mist that appears around the farm. While the Temperleys have been farming here since the 1960s, cider has been made here for hundreds of years, with the area famous for its apples and the quality of cider it produces. “We have a total of about 105 different kinds of apples on the farm, but we use 40 main kinds in our cider,” Matilda explains as we head down a path. “Harvesting starts in September with pears and eating apples, and then the main cider apple harvest starts in October and runs through until Christmas.” As we walk past the trees, the different apples are close to our eyes and so many apples are on the trees. Matilda picks up a small, yellowy-green apple from the ground as we walk, taking a bite before tossing the core into the trees. We reach a few rows of trees that look different from the others. These trees are thick with small branches and small red apples. “They are called ‘Stoke Red’.” “You can always recognize them because they look like big olive trees and grow like weeds,” she explains. “Living among apple trees and enjoying the smell of cider, what a pleasant life it is!” I say to myself while walking among apple trees with Matilda. 19. The Temperleys began to farm here ________. A. about forty years ago B. about sixty years ago C. about eighty years ago D. about 100 years ago 20. The underlined word “Harvesting” means ________. A. Watering the trees B. Making wine from apples C. Collecting fruits from the trees D. Having a good time under apple trees 21. Why can we always recognize “Stoke Red”? A. Because they taste very sweet. B. Because they grow like weeds. C. Because they grow green apples. D. Because they are used for making cider. 22. What is the writer doing on the farm? A. Buying or selling cider. B. Producing cider with apples. C. Planting apple trees with friends. D. Getting relaxed among apple trees. C When I was your age, my mom always told me, “I just want you to be happy.” But what exactly is happiness? Is it about having fun playing the latest online games? Is it about getting the basketball shoes in fashion? Is it about achieving our goals? Is it a destination, or is it more like a road that never ends? Is happiness on social media? It surely seems that way. Take a look at the most popular platforms Weibo and Xiaohongshu. Youngsters love posting perfect pictures of their best moments on them to get likes from others. It usually takes them hours to make their pictures perfect and hours to reply to others’ comments. They do get a lot of likes from others but do these likes bring them joy? Plenty of research has connected social media use to low moods. One U.S. study found that people who frequently check their social media are twice as likely to feel lonely. Of course, when we share a happy moment, we must have felt happy. But over the years, I’ve come to discover and experience that when something good happens, after a while, we return to feeling the same as before. In other words, happiness doesn’t last for long. As the feeling fades (消退), we search for new sources of happiness. Happily, there’s still hope for us to find lasting happiness: emotional authenticity (情感真实性) — accepting fear and sadness. It’s not easy, but when we are honest about our experiences, we build deeper and more meaningful connections with others. And those friendships bring us smiles that last much longer than any number of likes. March 20th is World Happiness Day. Take it as a reminder that happiness isn’t about running after a picture-perfect life. Trying to be happy all the time is like trying to catch a unicorn (独角兽) — it’s just not going to happen. Instead, pay attention to your own journey and accept different feelings you’ll feel along the way. 23. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. The reasons why people love posting pictures online. B. The influence of social media on users’ emotions. C. How to avoid feeling lonely when using social media. D. Which social media platforms are the most suitable for sharing life. 24. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following lines shows the change of happiness? A. A B. B C. C D. D 25. What does the writer want to tell people with the unicorn analogy (比喻) in the last paragraph? A. Trying to be happy all the time is an impossible goal. B. It is easy to achieve a picture-perfect life if people keep trying. C. Unicorns are magical creatures that can bring long-lasting happiness. D. People should spend more time chasing different things to feel happy. 26. Which of the following shows the structure of this text? A. B. C. D. (Mr. Wonka is showing the visitors around his chocolate factory. One of the visitors, Veruca Salt, is a girl who wants everything she sees.) Scene One Mr. Wonka led the group into a beautiful room. One hundred squirrels were sitting on stools around a large table, breaking the nuts (坚果) with their teeth at a fantastic speed. “The squirrels are specially trained!” Mr. Wonka explained happily. “They can tell a good nut from a bad nut. The bad ones never get broken. They will be thrown down the rubbish chute (滑道).” Veruca’s eyes grew wide with desire (欲望). “Daddy!” she shouted, stamping on her foot. “I want a trained squirrel! Get me one of them!” “All right, my pet, Daddy will get you one.” Mr. Salt said. Scene Two Mr. Salt walked confidently towards the squirrels. “No! Stop! Don’t!” shouted Mr. Wonka. But it was too late. Mr. Salt caught the nearest squirrel. The squirrel shouted loudly and angrily. Scene Three The moment Mr. Salt touched the squirrel, all the other squirrels stopped working. They turned and looked at him. Then, with a sudden move, they jumped on him. They didn’t bite or scratch him. Instead, they pushed him down the rubbish chute. Veruca shouted, “Daddy! Save my squirrel!” Then the squirrels turned to Veruca. “They’re testing her!” said Mr. Wonka. “They think she’s a bad nut!” Scene Four Seconds later, Veruca was also pushed down the chute by squirrels. Her shouts disappeared gradually. After a while, Mr. Wonka turned to the other children. “It happens about once a week,” he said with a shrug (耸肩).”They are really excellent judges of character.” (Then, Mr. Wonka led the rest of the visitors to another room...) ——adapted from Charlie and the chocolate Factory 27. According to Scene One, what is the squirrels’ job in the room? A. Eating good nuts. B. Breaking good nuts. C. Selling good nuts. D. Producing good nuts. 28. In Scene Two, how did Mr. Wonka feel when he shouted? A. Bored. B. Happy. C. Shocked. D. Peaceful. 29. What can we infer from the text? A. Veruca is a good girl who hardly breaks the rules. B. No one has been pushed down the chute before. C. The other visitors felt sorry for Veruca and her father. D. Mr. Wonka had no plans to save Veruca and her father. 30. Each picture above matches one scene. Which scene is missing? A. Scene One. B. Scene Two. C. Scene Three. D. Scene Four. E Have you ever noticed the sharp sound of shoes on the floor when playing basketball? It is a sound so common that we seldom stop to think about it. ____31____ What causes this strange sound? Scientists found that it comes from a physical phenomenon called “stick-slip” (粘滑现象). To study it, they pushed a basketball shoe across a glass plate and recorded the bottom of the shoe. The rubber did not move smoothly. Small parts of the bottom first stuck to the glass. ____32____ At the same time, tiny waves traveled across the rubber very quickly. These quick movements hit the air like lots of little drumbeats. When the beats are regular, they form a clear, high sound. That’s the loud noise we hear in the gym. The bottom pattern (图案) of the shoe is important too. ____33____ But rubber with patterns made a clear sound because the patterns kept the tiny waves in order. So the sound comes from the design as well as from touching the floor. ____34____ For example, engineers might use it to make quieter shoes or even turn the sounds into music. They once made rubber blocks play a short Star Wars tune! Next time you hear trainers screaming across a court, don't just cover your ears. ____35____ There’s always great fun in learning from life. A. Then they suddenly moved forward. B. A smooth piece of rubber made unclear noise. C. This helps increase the force between rubber and the floor. D. This finding may help engineers create better shoes or tools. E. Under the trainers, physics is running faster than the players. F. However, scientists have found some fun facts under the shoe recently. 第II卷（满分50分） IV．综合运用（本题10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分） MUSCLE MEMORY Learning a language, as you know, is not easy.

So different organizations around the country have had the brilliant idea of connecting teenage digital experts to people in need of help with technology. What’s happening in your area? Comments (3 replies) A Phoebe and Logan We’re members of our school’s Good Citizens project. So we spend every Wednesday afternoon at a club for senior citizens — that means older people who don’t work anymore. They bring along their laptops, tablets and phones to ask us for advice on how to use them. It’s a simple idea and works really well! Most of their questions are about Skype and downloading photos and videos. These are great ways for people to keep in touch with family and friends living far away. I think what we do is a sort of exchange: they learn some digital skills from us and we learn more about life from talking to them! B Noemi I’m in the SOS Tech group at my youth club. There are about ten of us and we go to the community centre every Saturday morning to teach people how to use their digital gadgets. All sorts of people come for help — it’s not only older people that don’t feel confident about using computers. The other day, I showed a woman how to do her shopping online because she couldn’t drive after an operation on her leg. Another man came in with a new tablet. He decided he’d better learn to use it because he didn’t want to be left behind! What do I get out of it? Well, I’ve discovered that I enjoy explaining things to people, so I’m thinking about becoming a teacher! C Louis You should see the computer room in our public library on a Tuesday evening! It’s one of the busiest places in town. People can come in and ask for advice about technology. I’m on the team of experts and we try to help everyone. If you haven’t got access to a computer these days, life can be difficult. We help people find information online, show them how to fill in online forms, how to use job sites, things like that. At first, people are often embarrassed because they feel like they should know how to do these things. After we’ve explained what to do, they look relaxed and we’re happy to share our skills. They think we’re so clever, but I always tell them everything’s easy when you know how to do it! 46. Read the posts. Which is the best title? A. Sharing your digital skills. B.

They faced terrible storms, dry deserts and cold mountains on the way bravely. They never gave up and kept moving forward bravely when they finally reached their goal—a long-awaited meeting with the powerful Mongol leader Kublai Khan (忽必烈). The historic event took place in 1275 at the Khan’s beautiful summer capital in Shangdu, in what is now northern China. Marco Polo’s trip had, in fact, started more than 9,000 kilometers away in Venice when he was just a teenager. His father and uncle already knew Kublai Khan from an earlier visit nine years before, when they had spent a short time in Shangdu. On this second trip, the Polos stayed for 17 years before they went back home. They tried their best to help the Khan, and carried out many important jobs for him. It is likely that the Khan thought it was a great honor that these Europeans—who were rare in China—had made this very hard journey, and he used the chance to make good use of their skills and knowledge. While he worked for Kublai Khan, “the most powerful man in the world with large populations, wide lands and great wealth,” Marco Polo (马可波罗) was able to learn and experience many things that were new to Europeans. He admired the Khan’s newly finished capital—Daidu—whose streets were “so straight and so broad.” The city was in what is now the center of Beijing, and Kublai Khan’s city planning can still be seen in the straight, wide streets of China’s modern capital. We learn from Marco Polo that, in the rule of his large country, Kublai Khan used a fast and simple message system. Horse riders stood every 40 kilometers, so messages could travel 500 kilometers a day. Marco also learned about asbestos cloth, which is made from a kind of stone and does not burn. Paper money also surprised him because it was not yet used in the West at that time. People’s homes were heated with “black stones which burn like wood.” Those stones were coal—unknown in most of Europe—and there was so much coal that many people could take a hot bath three times a week. Although the Khan did not want his visitors to leave, the Polos finally got permission to return home in 1292. Marco kept writing down what he saw during the sea trip through Sumatra and India. After he returned home, Marco finished a book about his trip, full of details about his wonderful cultural experiences. It was probably the most important work to introduce the geography of the East to people in the West. 49. Add the events to the timeline. a. Marco Polo writes a book. b.
