More than 20 years ago, making large bowls was their job. If someone told them they would one day become artists, they would just laugh at it as a joke. But you can never predict what life will bring you next. Today, they both teach at a university, and their works are shown at home and abroad. They learned every step of making ceramics (陶瓷) on their own from a young age, and this gave them something even more valuable — a deep love for their material. Artists and teachers later led them into the world of ceramic art. Although receiving no professional art training, the brothers gradually developed a style — using ceramics, an old Chinese material, to express modern ideas and personal memories. Their most fascinating artwork is a huge ceramic tractor (拖拉机) called Dongfanghong. It is over two meters long and weighs two tons, with no support inside. Different thicknesses and thin parts let the clay break easily. They worked day and night, trying special materials and changing the heat levels again and again. The artwork finally looked like real metal through their years of efforts. Thanks to their efforts and new ideas, the brothers have won many prizes, and their artworks are kept in famous museums. Their story shows us that with patience and strong mind, even the most common journey can lead to something amazing. 6. What did the brothers do in the past? A. They decided to be artists. B. They taught at a university. C. They lived by making big bowls. D. They worked in foreign countries. 7. How did artists and teachers help the brothers? A. By telling them teaching methods. B. By giving them professional training. C. By asking them to produce ceramics. D. By guiding them into the world of art. 8. What do we know about the ceramic tractor? A. It seems like real metal. B. It needs months of work. C. It is nearly two meters high. D. It has strong support inside. 9. Which of the following best describes the brothers? A. Caring and cool-minded. B. Patient and well-educated. C. Talented and warm-hearted. D. Creative and hard-working. 10. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A deep love for the past B. An amazing turn in life C. A modern style of clay bowls D. An unexpected art class 【答案】6. C 7. D 8. A 9. D 10. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了来自河南的钞氏兄弟（钞子艺、钞子伟）从20多年前以制作大碗为生，到后来在艺术家和老师的引导下成为大学教师和艺术家的励志故事。 【6题详解】 第一段第二句“More than 20 years ago, making large bowls was their job.”说明，20多年前兄弟俩的工作是制作大碗，即靠制作大碗为生。 【7题详解】 第二段第二句“Artists and teachers later led them into the world of ceramic art.”说明，艺术家和老师将他们引入了陶瓷艺术的世界。 【8题详解】 第三段最后一句“The artwork finally looked like real metal through their years of efforts.”说明，经过多年努力，这件陶瓷拖拉机看起来像真正的金属。 【9题详解】 从全文来看，兄弟俩自创风格，用陶瓷表达现代理念，体现了创造性（creative）；他们日夜工作、反复尝试材料和温度，体现了勤奋（hard-working）。最后一段第一句中“their efforts and new ideas”也体现了这两点。 【10题详解】 全文围绕兄弟俩从普通碗匠到大学艺术家的人生转变展开，第一段“But you can never predict what life will bring you next.”点明了人生的意外转折，B选项“An amazing turn in life”最能概括主旨。 C With the world becoming warmer because of climate change, mosquitoes are busy enlarging their living space. Now, a Chinese company has created a new device which can detect mosquitoes and then kill them. The device promises a future in which the peace and quiet of a summer evening is no longer broken by flying mosquitoes. The small, light device uses AI to discover mosquitoes as small as 2 millimeters (毫米). Within 0.003 seconds, it fires a high-energy laser (激光) that disables a mosquito midflight — a course that can hardly be seen by humans — and can kill up to 30 mosquitoes every second. The Chinese device is not alone in mosquito control. The Locus, which is made by a foreign company, uses computers to locate (定位) mosquitoes indoors. However, while the Locus focuses on location, the Chinese device goes a step further by killing mosquitoes. It is not easy to improve the accuracy rate (准确率). The early models of the Chinese device failed to correctly discover mosquitoes within a short distance, as they were influenced by background noise. After years of hard work, careful research and countless tests, the company put AI and laser technology together, enabling a discovery rate of over 95 percent within six meters. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are over 3,500 kinds of mosquitoes in the world. About 200 kinds can spread diseases. Every year, mosquitoes kill more than 700,000 people. Millions of people face this risk every day. This new Chinese device provides a safe and effective way to fight mosquitoes and protect people’s health. 11. What does the underlined word “detect” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Warn. B. Blow. C. Watch. D. Discover. 12. How does the writer prove the effectiveness of the device in Paragraph 2? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By making comparisons. D. By using experts’ words. 13. What is an advantage of the Chinese device over the Locus? A. Killing mosquitoes after location. B. Focusing on mosquitoes outdoors. C. Finding mosquitoes in a short time. D. Using AI to drive mosquitoes away. 14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. How the device was tested. B. The influence of noise on accuracy. C. How AI was used in the device. D. The road to a high accuracy rate. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Most mosquitoes are dangerous. B. The Chinese device is of great use. C. Mosquitoes around us have been controlled. D. The Chinese device is praised by the WHO. 【答案】11. D 12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一款中国新型灭蚊设备，解释它利用AI和激光探测、灭杀蚊子的工作原理，对比国外同类产品的优势，讲述研发过程中提升识别准确率的历程，并结合世卫组织数据说明这款设备对抗蚊虫、保护人类健康的实用价值。 【11题详解】 根据第一段原文“a new device which can detect mosquitoes and then kill them”，和第二段“The small, light device uses AI to discover mosquitoes”可知，两处同义替换， detect含义和discover（发现、探测）一致。 【12题详解】 根据第二段出现多处数字“2 millimeters、0.003 seconds、up to 30 mosquitoes every second”可知，作者通过罗列具体数据来体现设备高效，以此证明设备效果。 【13题详解】 根据第三段“The Locus…uses computers to locate mosquitoes indoors. However, while the Locus focuses on location, the Chinese device goes a step further by killing mosquitoes.”可知，国外设备Locus仅能定位蚊子，而这款国产设备在定位蚊子后还能将其灭杀，这就是它独有的优势。 【14题详解】 根据第四段“It is not easy to improve the accuracy rate…After years of hard work…enabling a discovery rate of over 95 percent within six meters. ”可知，本段讲述设备从识别准确率不佳，经过长期钻研改良后实现超高识别率的完整过程，因此段落核心是提升准确率的研发历程， 【15题详解】 根据第五段引用世卫组织数据说明蚊虫传播疾病、致人死亡的严重危害，结尾点明“This new Chinese device provides a safe and effective way to fight mosquitoes and protect people’s health”，核心表达这款国产设备作用巨大、实用性强。 D Children have an unbelievably curious mind. They explore new things for no other reason except that they just desire (渴望) to know. But as kids grow, they often fall into fixed thinking patterns. George Land, a researcher from NASA, studied 1,600 children, testing their creative potential and curiosity levels at age 5, 10, and 15. The first time these kids took the test, 98% scored the highest possible score. Five years later, only 30% of them scored well. For the third time—by then in high school—only 12% of the kids did well. This dramatic decrease in curiosity could be caused by their increase in knowledge, according to George Land. Once they feel like there’s no gap (缺口) between what they know and what they want to know, they just stop acting curious. Curiosity, it seems, gets unlearned as people age. But why should we care? Research shows that allowing our curiosity to be piqued can be very good for our mind, For example, when presented with an interesting puzzle that doesn’t have a clear answer, your brain is highly activated—it gets ready for learning and becomes more creative in handling related tasks. Lit by curiosity, the mind sharpens its focus and gains a fresh perspective (角度). In education, curiosity serves as a stepping stone to academic (学术的) success. For one thing, it boosts memory. A study in Neuron finds that when participants are highly curious about a fact, they are 30% more likely to remember it. Curiosity also builds patience. A study from Duke University shows that curious people are more willing to wait for the solution to a puzzle, while less curious people always rush through tasks, missing opportunities for deeper learning. The benefits of curiosity do not end here. Greater curiosity can make people more open to hearing others’ opinions, even if they differ from their own. This openness is key to productive disagreements and helps avoid problems like groupthink, where poor decision-making happens because people don’t consider different viewpoints. Ready to do more to develop your curiosity? The good news is that low levels of curiosity don’t mean your curiosity is just gone. In fact, you can actively train your curiosity. One effective way is to ask yourself questions and write them down and find the answers later. This simple step of finding gaps in your knowledge naturally inspires more curiosity. We all start out curious. It’s our choice to be curious or not. As physicist Richard Feynman wisely said, “Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” And with the proven benefits, you may be surprised where curiosity leads you. 16. According to the passage, some people stop being curious because ________. A. they develop a more open mindset as they age B. they try to focus on their work rather than the mind C. their increase in knowledge weakens their desire to know D. their study interest drops after getting poor scores at school 17. The word “piqued” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. tested B. raised C. explained D. received 18. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Less curious people often suffer more from memory loss. B. High curiosity pushes people to look for quick solutions. C. Curiosity allows healthy disagreement within a group. D. Curiosity can be improved by remembering knowledge. 19. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To prove the possibility of training curiosity. B. To encourage people to restore their curiosity. C. To show how curiosity leads to academic success. D. To explore different reasons for developing curiosity. 20. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Curiosity falls with age but can be trained. B. Knowledge kills curiosity in most children. C. Curiosity greatly improves students’ memory. D. Groupthink harms creative thinking. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. C 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了好奇心随年龄增长而减弱的现象，分析了好奇心对大脑、学习及人际交往的益处，并介绍了培养好奇心的方法，鼓励人们保持好奇心。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This dramatic decrease in curiosity could be caused by their increase in knowledge...Once they feel like there's no gap...they just stop acting curious.”可知，好奇心的减少可能是因为知识的增加，一旦觉得已知和想知之间没有缺口，就不再好奇，核心推理逻辑是知识增加削弱了求知欲。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Research shows that allowing our curiosity to be piqued can be very good for our mind...your brain is highly activated”可知，当好奇心被……时，大脑会高度活跃，结合语境此处指好奇心被激发或提升，与raised意思相近。 【18题详解】 观点态度题。根据第五段“Greater curiosity can make people more open to hearing others' opinions...This openness is key to productive disagreements”可知，更大的好奇心让人更开放，这种开放是富有成效的分歧的关键，核心推理逻辑是好奇心有助于群体内健康的分歧。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We all start out curious. It's our choice to be curious or not...you may be surprised where curiosity leads you.”可知，文章最后强调选择保持好奇心会带来惊喜，结合全文介绍的好处和培养方法，核心推理逻辑是作者旨在鼓励人们恢复好奇心。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段指出好奇心随年龄下降，第二段分析原因，第三至五段阐述益处，第六段提出可以训练好奇心，最后一段总结，全文核心围绕好奇心随年龄减弱但可以通过训练恢复展开。 Ⅲ．阅读理解七选五。（10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Music’s role is much more than entertainment. Scientific studies show it activates (激活) nearly every brain region (区域) and keeps lots of brain networks strong, including those networks about emotion, happiness, movement and learning. ____21____ For example, hospitals use calming music to reduce patients’ anxiety before operation, which proves music can touch emotions beyond words. Neuroscientists find that familiar songs set off dopamine (多巴胺) release, creating natural joy without medication. Music also builds bridges where words fail. At global events like the Olympics, national anthems (国歌) unite audience, stirring up strong emotional resonance (共鸣). ____22____ The result turned out as expected. Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory. ____23____ Studies showed that music therapy (治疗) can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking and reduce falls. Music improves the performance in study. ____24____ More surprisingly, language learners mastering vocabulary through song lyrics progressed 30% faster than traditional methods. Students learning art report higher productivity with background instrumental music. Everyone can access (获得) its benefits without training. Try exploring free music apps, sharing meaningful songs with friends, or attending local concerts. Even singing softly to yourself when stressed can lower blood pressure. ____25____ Its power is everywhere, ready for you to find and use. A. Music helps the old people feel much happier. B. Music even shows promise in preventing injury (伤害). C. Music provides emotional benefits in many ways. D. Doctors often play soft music to relax the patients. E. As Plato noted, “Music gives soul to the universe.” F. Students listening to classical pieces show 20% better focus. G. Scientists examined whether music could improve old people’s health. 【答案】21. C 22. G 23. B 24. F 25. E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了音乐不仅是一种娱乐，还能在情绪、健康、学习和生活等方面带来益处。 【21题详解】 后文“For example, hospitals use calming music to reduce patients’ anxiety... strong emotional resonance.”讲述了医院用音乐缓解焦虑、熟悉歌曲带来快乐、国歌引发共鸣，全段都在讲音乐的情感作用。空格是该段的总领句，应表达音乐有许多益处的相关内容。选项C“音乐在很多方面提供情感益处。”概括了本段主旨。 【22题详解】 后句提到“The result turned out as expected.”，说明前句应涉及研究调查或者实验，且本段“...interest in life among diverse older adults...”等涉及关注老年人健康内容，因此空格处内容应与“调查老年人健康”话题相关。G项“科学家们研究了音乐是否能改善老年人的健康状况。”可作为该段第一句引出话题。 【23题详解】 该段最后一句中“...can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking...”提到改善行走和减少跌倒，属于预防身体伤害范畴，B项“音乐甚至显示出预防受伤的希望”与此呼应。 【24题详解】 该段首句讲述的主题是音乐提高学习表现，因此空格处内容应承接这一话题。F项表达了听古典乐曲的学生专注力更高，与主题及后文例子一致。 【25题详解】 该句话位于文章末段，空格后“Its power...”提及音乐的力量，空格处也应与该话题有关。E项引用名言“音乐赋予宇宙灵魂”升华主题，与后句“力量无处不在”衔接自然。 Ⅳ．（5分） 补全对话，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案完成对话。 A: Hi, Mary.

B Chao Ziyi and Chao Ziwei are brothers from Henan province. More than 20 years ago, making large bowls was their job. If someone told them they would one day become artists, they would just laugh at it as a joke. But you can never predict what life will bring you next. Today, they both teach at a university, and their works are shown at home and abroad. They learned every step of making ceramics (陶瓷) on their own from a young age, and this gave them something even more valuable — a deep love for their material. Artists and teachers later led them into the world of ceramic art. Although receiving no professional art training, the brothers gradually developed a style — using ceramics, an old Chinese material, to express modern ideas and personal memories. Their most fascinating artwork is a huge ceramic tractor (拖拉机) called Dongfanghong. It is over two meters long and weighs two tons, with no support inside. Different thicknesses and thin parts let the clay break easily. They worked day and night, trying special materials and changing the heat levels again and again. The artwork finally looked like real metal through their years of efforts. Thanks to their efforts and new ideas, the brothers have won many prizes, and their artworks are kept in famous museums. Their story shows us that with patience and strong mind, even the most common journey can lead to something amazing. 6. What did the brothers do in the past? A. They decided to be artists. B. They taught at a university. C. They lived by making big bowls. D. They worked in foreign countries. 7. How did artists and teachers help the brothers? A. By telling them teaching methods. B. By giving them professional training. C. By asking them to produce ceramics. D. By guiding them into the world of art. 8. What do we know about the ceramic tractor? A. It seems like real metal. B. It needs months of work. C. It is nearly two meters high. D. It has strong support inside. 9. Which of the following best describes the brothers? A. Caring and cool-minded. B. Patient and well-educated. C. Talented and warm-hearted. D. Creative and hard-working. 10. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A deep love for the past B. An amazing turn in life C. A modern style of clay bowls D. An unexpected art class C With the world becoming warmer because of climate change, mosquitoes are busy enlarging their living space. Now, a Chinese company has created a new device which can detect mosquitoes and then kill them. The device promises a future in which the peace and quiet of a summer evening is no longer broken by flying mosquitoes. The small, light device uses AI to discover mosquitoes as small as 2 millimeters (毫米). Within 0.003 seconds, it fires a high-energy laser (激光) that disables a mosquito midflight — a course that can hardly be seen by humans — and can kill up to 30 mosquitoes every second. The Chinese device is not alone in mosquito control. The Locus, which is made by a foreign company, uses computers to locate (定位) mosquitoes indoors. However, while the Locus focuses on location, the Chinese device goes a step further by killing mosquitoes. It is not easy to improve the accuracy rate (准确率). The early models of the Chinese device failed to correctly discover mosquitoes within a short distance, as they were influenced by background noise. After years of hard work, careful research and countless tests, the company put AI and laser technology together, enabling a discovery rate of over 95 percent within six meters. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are over 3,500 kinds of mosquitoes in the world. About 200 kinds can spread diseases. Every year, mosquitoes kill more than 700,000 people. Millions of people face this risk every day. This new Chinese device provides a safe and effective way to fight mosquitoes and protect people’s health. 11. What does the underlined word “detect” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Warn. B. Blow. C. Watch. D. Discover. 12. How does the writer prove the effectiveness of the device in Paragraph 2? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By making comparisons. D. By using experts’ words. 13. What is an advantage of the Chinese device over the Locus? A. Killing mosquitoes after location. B. Focusing on mosquitoes outdoors. C. Finding mosquitoes in a short time. D. Using AI to drive mosquitoes away. 14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. How the device was tested. B. The influence of noise on accuracy. C. How AI was used in the device. D. The road to a high accuracy rate. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Most mosquitoes are dangerous. B. The Chinese device is of great use. C. Mosquitoes around us have been controlled. D. The Chinese device is praised by the WHO. D Children have an unbelievably curious mind. They explore new things for no other reason except that they just desire (渴望) to know. But as kids grow, they often fall into fixed thinking patterns. George Land, a researcher from NASA, studied 1,600 children, testing their creative potential and curiosity levels at age 5, 10, and 15. The first time these kids took the test, 98% scored the highest possible score. Five years later, only 30% of them scored well. For the third time—by then in high school—only 12% of the kids did well. This dramatic decrease in curiosity could be caused by their increase in knowledge, according to George Land. Once they feel like there’s no gap (缺口) between what they know and what they want to know, they just stop acting curious. Curiosity, it seems, gets unlearned as people age. But why should we care? Research shows that allowing our curiosity to be piqued can be very good for our mind, For example, when presented with an interesting puzzle that doesn’t have a clear answer, your brain is highly activated—it gets ready for learning and becomes more creative in handling related tasks. Lit by curiosity, the mind sharpens its focus and gains a fresh perspective (角度). In education, curiosity serves as a stepping stone to academic (学术的) success. For one thing, it boosts memory. A study in Neuron finds that when participants are highly curious about a fact, they are 30% more likely to remember it. Curiosity also builds patience. A study from Duke University shows that curious people are more willing to wait for the solution to a puzzle, while less curious people always rush through tasks, missing opportunities for deeper learning. The benefits of curiosity do not end here. Greater curiosity can make people more open to hearing others’ opinions, even if they differ from their own. This openness is key to productive disagreements and helps avoid problems like groupthink, where poor decision-making happens because people don’t consider different viewpoints. Ready to do more to develop your curiosity? The good news is that low levels of curiosity don’t mean your curiosity is just gone. In fact, you can actively train your curiosity. One effective way is to ask yourself questions and write them down and find the answers later. This simple step of finding gaps in your knowledge naturally inspires more curiosity. We all start out curious. It’s our choice to be curious or not. As physicist Richard Feynman wisely said, “Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” And with the proven benefits, you may be surprised where curiosity leads you. 16. According to the passage, some people stop being curious because ________. A. they develop a more open mindset as they age B. they try to focus on their work rather than the mind C. their increase in knowledge weakens their desire to know D. their study interest drops after getting poor scores at school 17.
