三、阅读理解(本题共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
第一节 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选
项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Hundreds of years ago, ideas like flying to another city through the air sounded like dreams. Yet now scientific
study has made them real. Could other fairy tales come true someday?
Sleeping Beauty
Could anyone sleep for 100 years? Probably not. The daily cycle of sleep and waking is
set in your body. But animals like bears can hibernate (冬眠) through the winter until it warms.
If scientists can work out how animals hibernate, maybe one day people could hibernate
too. It would be great for astronauts to sleep through the long space journey. But hibernating
animals still grow older, so a future Sleeping Beauty might wake up as a Sleeping Grandma.
Talk to Animals
Talking to animals isn’t quite easy. But scientists are trying. Tiny cameras and
microphones have collected thousands of hours of animal conversations. Powerful computer
programs study animal sounds and match them with possible meanings. Soon they may let us
talk back.
But there are still challenges. Many animals communicate with smells, body language,
and sounds that humans can’t hear. And animals don’t think like people. So, when we think
they’re giving directions to the castle, they’re more likely to be saying “This is my tree!”
Let Down Your Hair
Rapunzel lowers her long hair to let visitors in. But could hair really hold up a prince?
Surprisingly, yes! A scientific study has found out that a single hair can hold 3 ounces, the
weight of a small tomato. And a common head has about 100,000 hairs. All those together
could hold up a couple of elephants. A prince? No problem.
However, Rapunzel would also need a shorter tower. Human hair only grows a few feet
long. The longest hair ever recorded is about 18 feet long—pretty short for a tower.
26. If astronauts could hibernate, they would ________.
A. stop growing completely B. sleep through space travel
C. need more food and water D. communicate with animals27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Animals think like people in giving directions.
B. Scientists have succeeded in talking back to animals.
C. A common person’s hair could hold up a giant panda.
D. Rapunzel in the fairy tale has the longest hair in history.
28. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To discuss new inventions for space travel.
B. To tell us how scientists influence fairy tales.
C. To compare different animals’ talking habits.
D. To show scientific possibilities behind fairy tales.
B
Sports might have started as a way to survive. Long ago, people ran, jumped, and climbed to stay alive.
Hunters were known for their special skills. Wall paintings from centuries ago, showing activities like wrestling or
dancing, were found in an Egyptian tomb. The ancient Greeks made a big change by holding the first Olympic
Games.
Modern sports began in England in the early 19th century and then spread globally. These became the models
for sports such as football that we play now.
Sports come in many shapes and sizes. Organized sports, whether swimming or ice hockey, are serious forms
of play. There are rules to obey, skills and positions to learn, and plans to carry out. Team sports like soccer require
you to work with teammates, while individual (个人的) sports such as tennis focus on your personal performance.
There’s no doubt that sports are valuable. The American Academy of Pediatrics says play is important for kids’
and teens’ thinking, bodies, social lives and feelings. Sports exercise our bodies and teach us about ourselves and
our world. Organized sports get us using our bodies and minds, which makes us more imaginative, curious, and
creative. The skills we learn can help us in school and later at work.
In an ideal world, sports would always be fun. But in reality, sports can cause physical hurt like broken bones,
and also harm in mind. In team sports, misunderstandings and hurt feelings are part of the learning process. Sports
are supposed to bring people together, but they can also drive people apart. But even when they’re not always a
cheerful experience, they show us how to face life’s challenges.You don’t have to be on a school team. But many, like school coaches, have found ways to make play their
work, which makes them feel whole.
There’s no better place to play and learn about the world than on a sports field. No matter what sport you
choose, the key is to play for fun. When you do, you’re already a winner.
29. In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?
A. Travel. B. Nature. C. Technology. D. Entertainment.
30. Why is play important for teenagers according to the passage?
A. It reduces their physical hurt easily. B. It improves their mind and body health.
C. It helps them have more time for sleep. D. It teaches them how to win competitions.
31. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?
A. People should try to become a famous athlete.
B. People can play mainly for fun and enjoyment.
C. Trying team sports is better than individual ones.
D. Avoiding sports that cause hurt is the best choice.
32. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. The Styles of Sports B. The History of Sports
C. The Charm of Sports D. The Challenges of Sports
C
①Do you sometimes feel too afraid to try new things? If you want to grow and get better, you need to take
risks and challenge yourself. But your brain often tells you to stay safe. It might say, “Don’t bother trying
something new.” Even when these thoughts aren’t reasonable, our anxiety (担心) can still win. Instead of thinking
about the good things that could happen, we worry more about “What if something goes wrong?”
②Avoiding all risks might seem smart, but it can make you feel unhappy. The problem is that we often make
decisions based on feelings, not facts. We think, “The more scared I feel, the riskier it is.” But feelings aren’t
always reasonable. If we knew how to think about risks clearly, we’d know which risks are worth taking. For
example, trying a new hobby like painting might feel scary at first, but it could bring you joy and new skills.
③Whether you’re afraid to change your job or too nervous to ask a friend for coffee, learning to take “good
risks” can improve your life. Here are good ways to help.
④Balance feelings with facts. Many times, we think fear means something risky. But that’s not true. For
example, driving a car feels safe because we do it every day, but giving a speech in public might make your heart
beat fast. Yet the fact shows that car accidents are much more common than getting hurt while speaking! So before
you avoid doing something scary, take three deep breaths and ask yourself, “What’s the real risk here?”⑤Take steps to succeed. You can do many small things to lower risks. If you’re nervous about a test, make a
study plan and review each day—this helps you feel more prepared. It’s okay to feel butterflies in your stomach
when you try something new. Facing fear helps build your mental muscle, just like exercising builds physical
muscle. So, taking smart risks helps you become mentally stronger. Each time you try something scary, you will
learn to deal with uncertainty and anxiety. You’ll also get new skills and grow from mistakes. If you try out for a
dance team and don’t make it, you can ask for the reason and then practise more. With practice, you’ll get better at
facing risks, and your chances of success will rise.
33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs?
A. Avoiding risks is a smart way to stay happy.
B. Taking risks requires us to trust our feelings.
C. Our brain often tells us to face challenges bravely.
D. Our feelings often influence us to make decisions.
34. What does the underlined phrase “build your mental muscle” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Develop strength in your mind. B. Exercise your body to stay healthy.
C. Think mainly about cheerful things. D. Avoid situations that make you afraid.
35. What is the structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2...)
A. B. C. D.
36. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Taking smart risks can push us forward.
B. Trying many small things can reduce risks.
C. Learning clearly about real risks can help a lot.
D. Practising more can help deal with risks better.
D
“Click, click, click...” The drummer hit the drumsticks against each other to give a beat, and the band started
to play. Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The
band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music
ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers.Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?”
Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.”
“Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the
characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid
I can’t give you high marks.”
“Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai.
They finally agreed.
Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai
looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.”
Kai was puzzled. What did she mean?
“The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board
represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.”
“Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?”
“Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the
dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of
art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them
with modern life.”
“Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?”
“Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person
develop his inner self.”
“Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question.
“Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the
value. How will you change your piece?”
“I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.”
That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional
spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered.
Then, he had an idea...
37. In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________.
A. play the drums well B. work well with others
C. express personal feelings D. show the guqin’s value
38. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?
a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai.b. The classmates kept a short silence.
c. Kai asked for another chance to play.
d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem.
e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms.
A. a-e-d-c-b B. e-b-d-c-a C. e-a-b-d-c D. a-b-d-e-c
39. What lesson has Kai learned from his experience?
A. Strict rules will stop our creativity in music.
B. Traditional instruments should be modernized.
C. Creation requires us to understand the tradition first.
D. The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education.
.
40 What might we hear in Kai’s next show?
A. Pop music in a traditional style. B. Folk music with local colour.
C. Country music in a Western style. D. Rock music with drums and dizi.

六、阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made a great invention—the telephone. For the first time in history, people
could talk to someone far away just like they were in the same room. But today, phones can do much more than just
make calls!
The story of mobile phones began with two-way radios. These early devices (设备) had a big problem—they
only worked when people were close to each other. In the 1940s, smart scientists found a way. They built tall radio
towers across the country to pass signals (信号) easily.
Everything changed in 1973 when Dr. Martin Cooper made the first real mobile phone call. During the 1980s,mobile phones became smaller but were still very expensive. Only rich business people could afford them, and the
phones looked like big plastic bricks.
The 1990s brought another big change. Phones became cheaper and smaller, fitting easily in pockets. Soon,
almost everyone had one. Text messaging became popular. People started writing short messages instead of making
phone calls. Meeting time became more flexible (灵活的) because you could just text “I’ll be 15 minutes late.”
Now we have smartphones—like powerful mini-computers in our pockets. We use them to take photos, watch
videos, play games, and even help with housework! Messaging apps let us send videos and long messages easily.
While phones help us stay connected, some people worry that we spend too much time on them.
Looking back, it’s amazing how phones have changed. From Bell’s simple telephone to today’s smartphones,
this has truly changed our lives. What will phones be able to do next? Only time will tell!
