A
When visiting Washington, D.C., visitors often go to the main places: The
Lincoln Memorial, the National Archives, and the famous Smithsonian museums.
This strong focus on history and politics can make the trip feel more like a dull school
lesson than a fun vacation. The writer suggests going to some different spots to find
new and surprising choices. The following five places, which are less known but very
interesting, offer a fresh experience:
International Spy Museum Want to check your secret skills? Guests get a spy
name, take short tests, and see cool things like James Bond’s famous car and smart
spy tools.
Museum of the Bible Though it talks about religion, it shows an interesting past
of the book. Displays have parts of very old writings, an early King James Bible, and
a small model of an old town.
Rubell Museum The Rubell family started this place to bring new and modern
art to the city. Its big collection has strange and fun modern works, like a very real-
looking lady covered in plastic.
Lincoln’s Cottage This quiet house was President Lincoln's place for summer,
德阳市高中2024级高二上期期中教学质量监测考试英语试卷 第3页（共12页）where he did his most important thinking, and wrote a key paper about freedom. The
area also has a large grave site for soldiers, showing the high cost of the war.

A.Opt for those interesting minor places.
B.Only visit museums that focus on fun.

B
Deep in New Jersey's South Mountain Park, a magical world exists. Along a
one-mile walking path, dozens of tiny fairy houses hide among trees and mossy
areas. When storms damage these small houses, someone secretly fixes them. This
secret builder is Therese Ojibway, a 60-year-old teacher from Millburn, New Jersey,
who started this work five years ago.
As a child in Michigan, Therese built fairy houses with her sisters. Her mother
taught her to see magic in common things, which started her fairy path work. The
fairy path truly began when Therese's son Clinton was found to have autism(自闭
症）at age two. Therese took Clinton on nature walks in the woods to help him.
During these walks, Clinton noticed small natural details—a hollow log, a strange
rock. These walks helped Therese remember her childhood imagination. "In the
woods, I could follow his pace," she explains. "We discovered magic together." Years
later, during difficult times, Therese began placing handmade fairy things along the
path—small beds, swings, and ladders. As more houses appeared, the community
joined in, leaving small gifts of nuts and seashells for the fairy neighbors.
The work faced problems occasionally. Children broke one of Therese's most
德阳市高中2024级高二上期期中教学质量监测考试英语试卷 第4页（共12页）difficult works—a two-story fairy house with a moss roof. However, Therese did not
give up, just like she didn’t give up his son. Today, the fairy path remains special.
"The joy is in making and sharing," says Therese, whose patience was developed
through raising an autistic child. Now Clinton is much better. The fairy path shows
how creativity and patience can create something wonderful where broken things are
mended and wonder never stops.
24. What made Therese seriously start the fairy path work in South Mountain Park?
A.The community’s expectation of creating a magical path.
B. Her mother’s teaching about finding magic in common things.
C. The need to help her autistic son Clinton through nature walks.
D. Her childhood experience of building fairy houses with sisters.
25. How did the community participate in the fairy path project?
A.Organized group activities for children with special needs.
B.Began to build more elaborate fairy houses along the path.
C. Helped Therese maintain and repair the damaged fairy houses.
D. Contributed by offering small presents for the fairy residents.
26. Where can we infer Therese’s patience mainly comes from ？
A. the support from the local community.
B. her childhood habit of exploring nature.
C. her long-term experience of raising Clinton.
D. repairing broken fairy houses again and again.
27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.An autistic boy’s recovery is related to nature walks.
B.Therese’s childhood memory leads her to build fairy houses.
C.A magical fairy path in New Jersey’s park attracts many visitors.
D.Therese uses creativity and patience to create a special fairy path.
C
Does the popular activity benchmark(基准) of walking 10,000 steps a day feel
too distant? New research finds you can gain health benefits just by moving a little
more than usual.
Aiming for 7,000 steps daily is a good goal when possible, said lead study author
Dr. Melody Ding, public health professor at the University of Sydney. Compared with
adults who took 2,000 steps (the minimal count), those with 7,000 steps had a 47%
lower risk of all-cause death, 25% less risk of cardiovascular(心血管）disease and
德阳市高中2024级高二上期期中教学质量监测考试英语试卷 第5页（共12页）38% less risk of mental illnesses.
Many fitness tracker users see 10,000 steps as a daily activity standard, but this
number lacks solid evidence, noted Dr. Sean Heffron from NYU, who was not
involved in the research. A 2019 study found aiming for 10,000 steps likely originated
from a Japanese pedometer marketing campaign by Yamasa Clock and Instrument
Company, called "Manpo-kei" ("10,000 steps meter").
"More than 7,000 steps isn’t harmful and may even bring extra benefits, though."
Ding said,"Active people doing 10,000+ steps don’t need to cut back to 7,000!."
Dr. Gulati from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center said step counts help estimate
overall exercise levels. "The less you move, the fewer exerkines—special chemicals
released during muscle contractions that not only benefit blood vessel health, but
also improve insulin(胰岛素）sensitivity—and the higher your health risks," he
explained.
28. What can we learn from Dr. Melody Ding’s research?
A.10,000 steps a day is the best daily activity benchmark.
B.7,000 daily steps cuts all-cause death risk by 47% vs 2,000 steps.
C.Moving less than 2,000 steps a day has no health risks at all.
D. People with 10,000+ steps daily should cut back to 7,000 steps.
29. Why is the 10,000-step standard questioned?
A.It came from marketing with no solid supporting evidence.
B.Most adults can hardly achieve the 10,000-step goal daily.
C.It has been proved harmful to people’s cardiovascular health.
D. It totally ignores the health benefits of fewer daily steps.
30. What is the function of exerkines according to Dr. Gulati?
A.They help track daily step counts in an accurate way.
B.They reduce people’s need for regular daily exercise.
C.They benefit blood vessel health and insulin sensitivity.
D. They raise mental illness risk when released by muscles.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It talks about the history of the 10,000-step activity standard.
B. Research shows 7,000 daily steps bring health benefits to people.
C. It tells how to choose a suitable fitness tracker for step counting.
D. It introduces doctors’ views on the harm of being physically inactive.

Learning a musical instrument is good for your hands, language skills, memory,
and brain. Musicians often practice a lot, even when it causes them pain from repeated
movements. Researchers wanted to know if this kind of training changes how
musicians feel pain.
Scientists know that pain makes us react quickly, like pulling your hand away
from a hot stove. Short-term pain protects us. But long-term pain can cause problems.
For example, if you don't move an injured ankle for weeks, it makes the pain worse
and affects the brain areas that handle pain.
In the study, scientists gave musicians and non-musicians temporary hand pain.
They applied a safe protein for this. They then measured brain activity to see how
each person's brain reacted to their hand before and after the pain. The results showed
that musicians' brains were different.
Musicians felt less pain, and their brain's "hand map" (how the brain understands
the hand) did not shrink like non-musicians' maps did. This study involved only 40
people, but it suggests that musical training helps musicians' brains react to pain
differently. While music cannot cure long-term pain, this training might help us
understand how people deal with pain and develop new treatments.
32. What is the purpose of this article?
A. To talk about the benefit of playing music.
B. To explain why musicians are smarter than others.
C. To introduce a new way to treat long-term pain.
D. To show how music training changes pain feelings.
33. Why does the author mention an "injured ankle" in the second paragraph?
A. To explain how short-term pain might be of good use.
B. To describe an injury musicians often get in their lives.
C. To show the bad effects of pain that lasts a long time.
D. To prove that pain could help us make quicker reaction.
34. How did the scientists make people feel pain in the study?
A. By using a harmless protein.
B. By shrinking their brain’s “hand map”.
C. By measuring their brain activity.
D. By causing them long-term hand pain.
35. What can we guess from this article?
德阳市高中2024级高二上期期中教学质量监测考试英语试卷 第7页（共12页）A. The study included many people.
B. The pain used in the study lasted forever.
C. Music training might help you deal with pain better.
D. The more you play music, the more pain you will feel.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的
短文。
When I started my college life abroad, I wanted to be a successful student. I
always sat in the front seat and kept my notebook neat and tidy. I was used to the old
Chinese way of learning: listening quietly, writing notes carefully, and never talking
when the teacher was speaking. I thought the quietest student showed the most
respect.
But in my first class, I soon found things were different. My teacher, Professor
Miller, asked us to question every idea and speak up often. "Your thoughts are as
important as the old books," she said. Students talked fast and often interrupted each
other. The teacher seemed happy with this. When she asked me a question, I just
froze. I had spent the whole time getting a perfect answer ready in my mind, but when
I raised my hand, the talk had gone to a totally new thing. After class, asked my
American classmate, David, for advice. He just laughed, "You look like you are
waiting for a ticket to talk, Li. Just jump in!"
The next week, I tried to be stronger. I got even more ready for the class. But
every time I stopped for a second to breathe, another person quickly started talking.
The class talk felt less like a serious discussion and more like a fast game. I felt very
sad, but I knew my quiet way was not wrong. I thought there must be a way to share
my ideas that used my Chinese learning style but still met the class rules.
