1.阅读理解
Dream in Heart
    On the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmate—a wrinkled little old lady—to us. Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old.
    After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the following months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted, listening to this “time machine〞 as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
    Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She tended to be highly motivated, responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She even participated in some form of athletic activity. She said that extra-curricular activities can form a vital part of her experience, creating unique chances for friendship and learning.
    At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I'm sorry I'm so nervous.〞 As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you're nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year, you will turn twenty. If I'm eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. It's non-optional but that doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. In this way the elderly don't have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.〞 Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose〞. She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives.
    At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
〔1〕Why does the author compare Rose to “time machine〞 in Paragraph 2?
A.To stress her old age and knowledge of life.
B.To describe the close friendship between them.
C.To show that she always enjoyed her active life.
D.To explain why she took on a challenge in college.
〔2〕Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because ______.
A.she was a great football fan
B.she was the smartest student
C.she tried hard to achieve her dream
D.she became more educated than the others
〔3〕We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that ______.
A.growing older means growing up
B.it takes talent and ability to grow up
C.receiving high education helps to be courageous
D.one grows older at the same time when he grows up
〔4〕The passage is intended to ______.
A.provide an example for the elderly
B.discuss how to grow up quickly
C.tell the importance of attending college
D.inspire the readers to live up to lives

Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, which has been transporting all astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS) since 2021, typically carries a crew of three. However, the MS-14 capsule launched (发射) from a Russian spaceport in southern Kazakhstan on August 22, 2021, had just one passenger—a human-like robot named Skybot F-850.
The robot is the latest version of Russia's FEDOR robots, which were initially designed to help with search and rescue efforts. Skybot is good at many human skills, including driving a car, having short conversations, and even telling jokes. But since it lacks some special sills, the spacecraft to the ISS was piloted from the ground by scientists from Russia's space Agency. Roscosmos.
The six-foot-tall, 350-pound robot had another important task while on board. Without risking the lives of human astronauts, it helped Roscosmos researchers test the safety and flight experience of the new Soyuz-2.1, a carrier rocket, which carried the spacecraft into orbit. The feedback (反响) will be important in determining if the rocket is safe to transport future human crews to space.
Though the launch into orbit went smoothly, Skybot's arrival at the ISS was delayed by three days, from August 24 to August 27. The delay didn't seem to bother the robot, which announced its arrival, "Sorry about the delay. Met with traffic. Ready to work now."
Skybot's two-week task is largely a test to measure its ability to work effectively in microgravity, and includes simple tasks like using tools. If all goes well, Russia hopes to send more advanced versions of the FEDOR robots to help astronauts with special tasks.
Earlier this year, the US space agency launched two little robots called Astrobees to help astronauts with daily chores, like finding lost pieces of equipment. Meanwhile, the European Space Agency's social AI-powered CIMON spent a year assisting astronauts, before returning to Earth on August 27, 2021.
〔1〕What is Skybot F-850 unable to do？
A.Drive a vehicle like humans.
B.Conduct short conversations.
C.Say something funny to people.
D.Pilot the spacecraft to the ISS.
〔2〕How long did it take Skybot F-850 to fly to the ISS？
A.Two days.
B.Three days.
C.Five days.
D.Fourteen days.
〔3〕We infer from the text that Skybot          .
A.is bound to take the place of human crews
B.isn't the first robot to help at the space station
C.worked with two other robots to assist astronauts
D.was launched to measure its security and flexibility
〔4〕Where is the text most likely from？
A.A science experiment.
B.A news report.
C.A technology guidebook.
D.A research paper.

    Limiting kids' recreational(消遣的) screen time to less than two hours a day, along with enough sleep and physical activity, is associated with improved cognition(认知), according to a study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.
    The study included about 4,500 US children aged 8 to 11 and measured their habits against the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth. It found that 51% of the children got the recommended(建议) nine to eleven hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, 37% met the recreational screen time limit of two hours or less per day, while 18% met the physical activity recommendation of at least 60 minutes of accumulated physical activity a day. Only 5% of the children in the study met all three recommendations; 30% met none at all.
    The researchers found that as each recommendation was met by a participant, there was a positive association with global cognition, which includes memory, attention, processing speed and language. Those who met all three had the most "superior" global cognition, followed by those meeting the sleep and screen time recommendation and finally the screen time recommendation alone, according to the study.
    Other organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics have guidelines in place to help with the management of children's screen time. The organization suggests putting realistic rules or limits in place for how long your children are on their screens, knowing who they are talking to and what they are doing. The amount of recommended screen time depends on the age of the child. Besides, parents should also make sure to encourage physical activity and have bedroom rules such as creating "tech-free zones".
〔1〕Who are the target readers of this passage?
A.Researchers.
B.Teachers.
C.Parents.
D.Children.
〔2〕What is the main idea of this passage?
A.A study on children's screen time is published.
B.The US children fail to meet movement guidelines.
C.Organizations are concerned about children's cognition.
D.Limitation on children's screen time is linked to better cognition.
〔3〕According to the passage, which of the following might contribute least to cognition?
A.The screen time limit.
B.Sleep hours.
C.The physical activity time.
D.Sleep hours and the screen time limit.
〔4〕Why does the American organization suggest creating "tech-free zones"?
A.To make sure children have enough physical playtime.
B.To make sure children have enough sleep time.
C.To make sure children have recreational time.
D.To protect children against radiation.


    Parents often think that time spent with their kids will gradually decrease in adolescence. But a new study suggests that while teens try to avoid spending a lot of time together with their parents, private parent-child meetings may actually increase in their early adolescent years. And that may raise a teenager's self-esteem (自尊) and social confidence, especially if it is the time that spent with Dad, the researchers added. The researchers created a long-term study in which they invited families in 16 school districts in central Pennsylvania to participate. In each family, a teenager, a younger sibling (兄弟姐妹), their mother and their father were interviewed at home and then asked about their activities and self-worth five times over a period of seven years.
    The study authors were surprised to discover that when fathers spent more time alone with their teenagers, the kids reported they felt better about themselves. Something about the father's role in the family seemed to improve self-esteem among the teenagers in the study, said study co-author Susan McHale, a professor of human development at Pennsylvania State University.
    “Time with Dad often involves joking, teasing, and other playful interactions. Fathers, compared to mothers, were more involved in leisure activities and had more peer-like interactions with their children, which is crucial for youth social development,〞 the study showed. But Marta Flaum, a psychologist in Chappaqua, New York, said, “How these findings reflect the real world is a real question. The sample in the study is so small and so unrepresentative of most families in the country today that I'm not sure how much we can generalize from it. In my community in Westchester County, I don't see parents and teenagers spend much time together at all. Parents are often working so hard and have less time to be together with their kids.〞
    However, Flaum encourages parents to make time for their kids no matter how much work they have to do. “Research like this reminds us of how important it is. The time we have with them is so short,〞 she said.
〔1〕According to the study, when teenagers spend more time alone with their fathers, _________.

A.their social skills will be improved
B.their fathers will better understand them
C.they will be willing to help their siblings
D.their family members will spend more time together
〔2〕What is Flaum' attitude towards the findings of the study?


B.Favorable.
C.Doubtful.
D.Puzzled.
〔3〕What does the underlined word “it〞 in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The research by Susan McHale.
B.The work to be done.
C.Parents' encouragement.
D.The time parents spending together with their kids.
〔4〕Where is the passage most likely to be taken from?

A.Science magazine.
B.A news report.
C.A research plan.
D.An advertisement.

    "You have two ears and one mouth. Remember to listen more and speak less." That was the advice I 1  from a communications expert before, which got me thinking about listening.

Before our time was up he was 12  how his son is a carpenter restoring a church, and how 13  building preservation was to him and his family. Had I not 14 practiced listening, we might have left his office earlier.
    It has taken me a very long time to learn how to 15 . I might have been more 16 had I listened more. Now that I write and teach, I have 17  often about how important hearing is to our connection with others, and what a 18  my hearing has made in my life. 19 , hearing is different from listening, and, interestingly, there isn't any hardware that can help you listen; you just have to sit down, shut up and 20  it.

2.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，自2021年以来, 俄罗斯的联盟号宇宙飞船一直在运送宇航员往返国际空间站, 通常搭载三名宇航员。然而, 2021年8月22日从哈萨克斯坦南部的俄罗斯航天发射场发射的MS-14太空舱只有一名乘客—一个名 为Skybot F-850的人形机器人。
〔1〕考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Skybot is good at many human skills, including driving a car, having short conversations, and even telling jokes. But since it lacks some special sills, the spacecraft to the ISS was piloted from the ground by scientists from Russia's space Agency. Roscosmos.〞 Skybot擅长许多人类技能，包括驾驶汽车，进行简短的对话，甚至讲笑话。但由于缺少一些特殊的门槛，这艘飞往国际空间站的飞船由俄罗斯航天局的科学家从地面驾驶。可知, Skybot F-850无法导航太空飞船抵达国际空间站。应选D。

〔4〕考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, which has been transporting all astronauts to and from the International Space Station〔ISS〕since 2021, typically carries a crew of three. However, the MS-14 capsule launched〔发射〕from a Russian spaceport in southern Kazakhstan on August 22, 2021, had just one passenger—a human-like robot named Skybot F-850. 〞自2021年以来，俄罗斯的联盟号航天器一直在运送所有宇航员往返国际空间站(ISS)，通常搭载三名机组人员。然而，2021年8月22日从哈萨克斯坦南部的一个俄罗斯航天港发射的MS-14太空舱只有一名乘客-一个名为Skybot F-850的类人机器人。以及根据本文的主要内容可推断, 本文最有可能出自“新闻报道〞。应选B。
【点评】此题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
3.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，建议父母们要把孩子的屏幕消遣时间限制在2小时之内、保证孩子有足够的睡眠和锻炼，因为这样做可以让孩子有更好的认知能力。
〔1〕考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Limiting kids' recreational(消遣的) screen time to less than two hours a day, along with enough sleep and physical activity, is associated with improved cognition(认知), according to a study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.〞可知，本文主要建议父母们要把孩子的屏幕消遣时间限制在2小时之内、保证孩子有足够的睡眠和锻炼，这样做可以让孩子有更好的认知能力。所以本文的目标读者是父母们，而不是研究人员、老师或儿童。应选C。
〔2〕考查主旨大意。本文主要建议父母们要把孩子的屏幕消遣时间限制在2小时之内、保证孩子有足够的睡眠和锻炼。根据第三段中的“Those who met all three had the most 'superior' global cognition…〞告诉父母们如果他们这样做可以让孩子有更好的认知能力。应选D。
〔3〕考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Those who met all three had the most 'superior' global cognition, followed by those meeting the sleep and screen time recommendation and finally the screen time recommendation alone, according to the study.〞可知，满足三个要求的人认知能力最好，接下来是满足睡眠时间以及屏幕消遣限制时间，最后是满足屏幕消遣限制时间。据此推断，体育锻炼对认知能力影响最小。应选C。

4.【解析】【分析】本文讲述了父母亲和孩子在一起的时间对孩子的成长的重要性，并建议父母亲多花时间和孩子在一起。

〔1〕A 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句The study authors were surprised to discover that when fathers spent more time alone with their teenagers, the kids reported they felt better about themselves. Something about the father's role in the family seemed to improve self-esteem among the teenagers in the study可知这些研究发现父亲在孩子的开展中起着更为重要的作用，能够开展孩子的自尊等社交技能。故A项正确。
〔2〕C 态度意图题。根据第三段第三句But Marta Flaum, a psychologist in Chappaqua, New York, said, “How these findings reflect the real world is a real question.可知Marta Flaum认为这些发现是否反响的是真实情况还是一个问题。说明他对这一研究持疑心的态度。故C项正确。
〔3〕D 词义猜想题。根据本句However, Flaum encourages parents to make time for their kids no matter how much work they have to do. “Research like this reminds us of how important it is. Flaum还是鼓励父母亲多花时间与孩子在一起，这些研究也提醒我们这种做法非常重要。所以it指代D项内容。
〔4〕B 推理判断题。本文属于新闻报道，报道了父母亲和孩子在一起的时间对孩子的成长的重要性。与科学研究、研究方案以及广告无关。故B项正确。
【点评】猜想词义题的解题技巧中有根据定义或上下文解释进行猜想的方法。有时短文中出现一个需要猜想其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如：Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.
句子给予annealing 以明确的定义，即“退火〞。It will be very hard but also very brittle — that is, it will break easily.从后面that is(也就是说)的解释中我们可以了解到brittle是“脆〞的意思。The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year.定语从句中 looks after sheep 就说明了herdsman的词义为“牧羊人〞。The underlined words “tipping points〞 most probably refer to “_______〞.A. freezing points      B. burning points C. melting points       D. boiling points解析：C。请看原文：In his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting〔融化〕of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica. 根据后一句的such as the melting〔融化〕of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica.可知tipping points的意思是“融点〞。结合本文第32题：The underlined word “crucial〞 in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.根据文章第一段Remember, language learning is a combination of input + practice. As you're reading, you're taking in language naturally, and you're seeing how it all fits together.语言学习是输入和练习的融合，当我们在阅读的时候，我们在自然地吸收语言，同时我们能够理解语言是如何融合在一起的。这种阅读的过程对语言的学习是很重要的。所以该词等同于important。
二、任务型阅读〔共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分〕
5.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要为语言初学者提供了学习语言的三条建议。

四、语法填空〔共10题；每题1.5分，总分值15分〕
7.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国的春节，它是中国的传统节日之一。人们会有各种各样的活动，每个家庭在春节时都是其乐融融的。
〔1〕考查非谓语动词。句意：春节，也被称为农历新年，是中国的传统节日之一。句子的谓语动词是is，call不是谓语动词，Spring Festival和call之间为被动关系，应使用过去分词。故填called。
〔2〕考查冠词。句意：它历史悠久，对中国人来说非常重要。表示“一段悠久的历史〞，应使用不定冠词，long是以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
〔3〕考查形容词。句意：它历史悠久，对中国人来说非常重要。动词is后面用形容词作表语，故填important。
〔4〕考查代词。句意：春节前，人们清扫房屋并用剪纸装饰门窗。句子主语是people，代替people作houses的定语，应使用形容词性物主代词，故填their。
〔5〕考查介词。句意：在除夕夜，家人聚在一起吃一顿丰富的晚餐来庆祝节日。除夕夜只是一天，在具体某一天要用介词on。故填on。
〔6〕考查非谓语动词。句意：在除夕夜，家人聚在一起吃一顿丰富的晚餐来庆祝节日。介词by后接动名词作宾语。故填eating。
〔7〕考查固定结构。句意：不但成年人喜欢春节，而且孩子们也非常喜欢。not only… but also…固定短语，“不但......而且.....〞，故填but。
〔8〕考查语态。句意：更重要的是，祖父母，父母和其他亲戚可以给孩子压岁钱。主语they指的是children，它和谓语动词give之间为被动关系。故填be given。
〔9〕考查名词。句意：除了这些传统活动之外，近年来人们更喜欢在七日假期内外出旅行，这可能会给整个家庭带来更多乐趣。介词besides后接名词作宾语，traditional修饰名词作定语，active的名词是activity，它是可数名词，此处需要变复数。故填activities。
〔10〕考查定语从句。句意：除了这些传统活动之外，近年来人们更喜欢在七日假期内外出旅行，这可能会给整个家庭带来更多乐趣。分析句子结构可知，应使用关系代词引导定语从句，指代前面整句话的意思，有逗号隔开的是非限制性定语从句，所以用which。故填which。
【点评】此题考点涉及非谓语动词，冠词，形容词，代词，介词，语态，名词以及定语从句等多个知识点的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的根底上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
 

五、短文改错〔共10小题；每题1分，总分值10分〕
8.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者以自己的亲身经历，论证了生活没有目标就像航海没有指南针。
①考查冠词。句意：生活没有目标，犹如航海没有罗盘。compass是可数名词，此处是泛指，故在without 后加 a。
②考查形容词。句意：如果没有目标，我们就会迷失方向。get lost固定短语，“迷路“，故把lose 改为 lost。
③考查同位语从句。the truth后面是同位语从句，说明the truth的具体内容，故把which 改为 that。
④考查介词。skip“跳过“，在这里是及物动词，故把后面的from去掉。
⑤考查连词。句意：考虑到我的情况，我的老师给了我一些详细的方法，并建议我设定一个短期目标来提高我的数学水平。此处由considering〔连词〕考虑到，引导句子，相当于一个条件状语从句，故把Considered 改为 Considering。
⑥考查名词。several后面跟可数名词复数，故把approach 改为 approaches。
⑦考查时态。根据上文中的Last term,可知句子用一般过去时态，故把work 改为 worked。
⑧考查代词。句意：我比以前更加努力地工作，并在数学上取得了很大的进步。故把her 改为 my。
⑨考查副词。句意：在我看来，成功在于一系列的目标。因此，我们应该记住，要把我们的目标明确，并尽最大努力实现我们的梦想。前后是因果关系，故把However 改为 Therefore。
⑩考查形容词。make+宾语+形容词，此处形容词做宾语补足语，故把clearly 改为 clear。
【点评】此题考点涉及冠词，形容词，同位语从句，介词，连词，名词，时态，代词，副词等多个知识点的考查，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。

六、书面表达〔25分〕
9.【解析】【分析】假设你是红星中学的李华，收到来自英国学生Mark的电子邮件，咨询你校暑期为外国学生举办的汉语夏令营活动，请通过电子邮件向Mark介绍本次活动，其内容如下：1. 活动时间：7月10日到7月30日；地点：红星中学。2. 活动内容：学习日常汉语，可与当地人交流；举办各种晚会，了解中国历史和中国传统文化，例如节日等；参观博物馆，长城等。3. 活动意义。要把所提示的点写全，可根据内容要点适当增加细节，写作时要注意准确运用时态、语态、上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。不要总是用简单句，根据句意适当使用并列连词，同时也要合理运用高级词汇和高级句子为文章增色添彩，注意要求的字数在100词左右，不要太多或太少。开头已给出，不计入总词数。

【点评】I feel delighted to get your email, knowing you are so interested in the Chinese Summer Camp to be held in our school from July 10th to July 30th this summer.此句中运用了现在分词作结果状语和动词不定式一般式的被动式作定语；Firstly, you will learn everyday Chinese by communicating with Chinese students so that you can speak simple Chinese with local people.本句包含了一个so that引导的结果状语从句；Secondly, you will take part in different parties, knowing the history of China and Chinese culture, especially Chinese holidays, which will impress you deeply.在句中运用了现在分词作状语和which引导的非限制性定语从句；I believe the Chinese Summer Camp will not only provide the chance for you to study Chinese, but also will promote friendship between us.此句含有一个宾语从句和not only…but also…结构。这篇文章中多处运用现在分词，因此给文章增色很多。
