语法填空
61. Made 考查过去分词的用法。此处的make与逻辑主语Shaoxing wine之间是被动关系，故用过去分词。且位于句首，首字母需大写，所以填Made。

64. depending 考查现在分词作伴随状语。depend与前句逻辑主语Shaoxing wine 构成主谓关系，所以用现在分词作伴随状语。
65. is enjoyed 考查一般现在时的被动语态用法。enjoy与主语it之间是被动关系，且该处谈论的是事实，故用一般现在时的被动语态。
66. cultural考查词性变化。修饰名词significance需要形容词，故用cultural。
67. happiness 考查词性变化。动词symbolize后用名词作宾语，故用happiness。
68. to cook考查不定式的用法。be used to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“被用于做什么”。
69. Its 考查代词。修饰名词making process and use要用形容词性物主代词，故填Its。
70. the 考查冠词。固定短语“around the world”中冠词缺失，因此要用定冠词。
短文改错
71. 删除a 考查固定短语。 by chance是固定短语“偶然”。
72. am 改为was 考查时态。从上下文语境看出要用过去时。
73. think改为thinking 考查动名词。在介词without后用动名词作介宾。
74. surprised改为surprise 考查名词。在介词后用名词。
75. player改为players 考查名词单复数。前面修饰词是many，故用复数。
76. his改为their 考查人称代词。从面前的many players可知，此处应用their。
77. or改为and 考查并列连词。根据句意，此处为并列关系，故用and。
78. better后加at。be better at...意思是更擅长于……
79. became改为become 考查过去分词。根据句意此处是现在完成时，应使用has done的形式。

M: What’s wrong, Miyako
W: Amanda said we should get together again and that I should call her. But I don’t have her phone number.
M: I see... Well, don’t worry about it. For Americans, that’s usually a friendly way to say goodbye. It’s like when Americans say “Hello, how are you ” But they don’t want you to tell them how you are. It’s just a friendly greeting.

M: Thank you so much. I appreciate you calling me. I just thought I need to buy a new one as soon as possible.

W: Sure, I got it.
M: Thanks.
(Text 10)
W: What is life like for today’s students How do they treat money As the university and college terms began, I interviewed a few students. Sarah is a second-year biology student. She says that money is a big problem. She can eat cheaply at university, but she spends quite a lot on transport. She also spends quite a lot on stylish clothes. Colin, who is studying engineering, says that he doesn’t spend anything on clothes unless counting climbing shoes and special tools, some of which are very expensive. Not much of his money goes on transport because he likes to ride his bike around. Diana is a first-year designing student. She makes all her own clothes. This should save her money. But in fact, the materials are very expensive. She does not know how she would manage if she did not sell some of the dresses and hats she made to other students. She says that everything is expensive. That includes rent, food, transport and heating for the flat in winter. Jack is a science student. He doesn’t spend much money on clothes but his rent is high and he spends quite a lot on books, so he is doing part-time jobs to afford all of these.
I started liking soccer by a chance when I was in primary school. One day, while passing
by the school playground, I am nearly hit by a soccer ball. Without think, I stopped it and
was thinking
kicked it back hard. To my surprised, it sailed straight into the net. The loud cheers and claps

hard, I got better soccer and became a skilled player. Now, soccer has became more than just a

Fifth-graders gathered around a large tank inside their school’s greenhouse. Plants hang overhead, and trays of seedlings (幼苗) fill the shelves. Small silver fish pop their heads out of the water as Blanka, 10 years old, holds out food. “If you put your finger in a little bit, they might bite it. It doesn’t hurt; it just feels funny,” explains Blanka.
At Manzo Elementary Schools in Tucson, raising fish at school was one small answer to a big problem faced by many people in the neighborhood — food insecurity. While the students could have breakfast and lunch at school, their families often struggled to provide dinner. The teachers came up with an idea: could the students raise food at school for the neighborhood
It wouldn’t be easy. Being in a desert region, water was a scarce resource in Tucson. Apart from that, the soil doesn’t always have the nutrients plants need to grow, so the students would need to add a natural fertilizer. Inspired by the Aztecs’ ancient practice of chinampas, floating farms on lakes near Mexico City, Counselor Moses Thompson introduced an aquaponics (鱼菜共生) system where fish waste served as fertilizer for the plants, while the plants’ roots purified the water in the fish tank. Apart from fish, other animals played an important part in supporting the students’ mission to feed their neighbors. Chickens laid eggs, and visiting pollinators (传粉者) like bees and butterflies helped transform flowers into vegetables.
Once the students had harvested enough food, it was time for Market Day. They offered vegetables as donations to people in the neighborhood and sold eggs and fish to raise funds for fish food and chicken feed. “We can plant good food and have fun while we’re doing something important,” says Blanka. “I’m so happy to be at this school.”

Roosters (公鸡) act differently when faced with another chicken rather than just their own reflection. This may mean that the birds can recognize themselves in a mirror, a key indicator of self-awareness. In the traditional mirror self-recognition test, which originated in 1970, researchers place a mark on an animal’s body in a spot that it only see when seeing its reflection. They note if the animal touches the mark while examining its mirror image, which suggests it understands that what it sees represents its own body. Few non-human species have passed this test, but they include some great apes, dolphins, elephants.
However, results from the test are often variable. Sonja Hillemacher and her colleagues from the University of Bonn in Germany wondered if this was because there is little natural reason for many animals to find out such marks. So, they have tried to adapt the test to the natural behaviour of roosters. Roosters usually make loud noises to warn other chickens when they see predators (捕食者) but generally stay quiet when they are alone.
In the lab, they tested 68 roosters one by one in an arena divided by a wire net. They placed a bird on one side, and either left the other side empty or put another rooster in it. Then they added a mirror to the divider for some tests. The results showed that when a rooster was paired with another rooster, it raised the alarm more often than when it was alone, regardless of whether it could see its own reflection. When another rooster was present but hidden behind a mirror, few alarms were raised, showing that roosters can distinguish between reflection and reality through vision rather than smell or sound.
Since the birds acted similarly when alone and with a reflection, they may realise their reflection is of themselves, say the researchers. While the research suggests that roosters may recognize themselves in mirrors, it is too early to claim that chickens possess this ability.
28. What can we learn about the traditional mirror self-recognition test
A. The test was improved in 1970.
B. Elephants failed to pass the test.
C. Most non-human species have passed the test.
D. Animals touching the mark show self-awareness.

C. Their loud sound. D. Their native behavior.
30. What did Sonja’s test suggest about roosters
A. They sent fewer alarm before another rooster.
B. They showed more interest in their reflection.
C. They used vision to tell reality from reflection.
D. They were unable to recognize their reflection.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Roosters: Quiet Reflection-observers
B. Roosters: Possible Self-recognizers
C. Roosters: Clever Mark-checkers
D. Roosters: Brave Alarm-raisers
D
An ancient Greek belief about the most pleasing combinations of musical notes — often attributed to philosopher Pythagoras — doesn’t actually seem to reflect the way people worldwide appreciate harmony. Instead, Pythagoras’s mathematical arguments may merely have been taken as a fact and used to maintain the superiority of Western culture.
According to legend, Pythagoras found that the ringing sounds of two blacksmith’s hammers were most pleasant when the ratio (比率) between the size of their tools involved two integers, or whole numbers, such as 3:2. The philosopher’s belief that listeners like music played in perfect mathematical ratios better was so influential that it has shaped how western musicians play instruments.
But when Harrison at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues surveyed 4,272 people in the UK and South Korea about their view of music, their findings flew in the face of this ancient idea. In one experiment, participants were played musical chords (和弦) and asked to rate how pleasant they seemed. Listeners showed a slight preference for sounds with an imperfect ratio.
Another experiment discovered little difference in appeal between the sounds made by instruments from all over the world, including the bonang, an Indonesian instrument, which produces harmonies that can’t be produced on a Western piano. Although instruments like the bonang have traditionally been referred to as inharmonic in Western music culture, study participants appreciated the sounds of the instrument and others like it. “If you use non-Western instruments, you start preferring different harmonies. It’s fascinating that music can be so universal yet so diverse at the same time.” says Harrison.
Harrison says the findings tell us that Pythagoras was wrong about the harmony of music and that music theory has been too focused on the belief that Western views are held worldwide. “What our studies are showing is that, actually, this is not an sacred law. It’s something that depends very much on the way in which you’re playing music.” he says.
32. Which statement will Pythagoras probably agree with
A. Western culture is superior to other cultures.
B. Music should be played using irregular ratios.
C. The sound of hammers depends on their size.
D. Perfect mathematical ratios are preferred in music.
33. Which of the following best explains “flew in the face of” underlined in Paragraph 3
A. Challenged. B. Defended. C. Matched. D. Improved.
34. What can we infer from the experiments
A. Participants mostly preferred the same chords.
B. Listeners slightly favored sounds with imperfect ratios.
C. Different instruments can produce the same harmony.
D. Non-Western instruments are not appreciated globally.
35. According to Harrison, what does harmony depend on
A. Western cultural influences. B. Pythagorean beliefs.
C. The method of performing music. D. Perfect mathematical ratios.

We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones. We use sunscreen to protect our skin. 36 A lot. Here are some experts’ suggestions to protect our vision and eye health.
Buy quality sunglasses
A professor at Johns Hopkins University emphasizes the importance of protecting eyes from ultraviolet light, which can affect cataract (白内障) development. 37 Instead, wear sunglasses certified to block out 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB light.
38
Protective eyewear is necessary beyond construction or factory work. Gardening, sports, and home activities also carry eye injury risks. “Up to 90% of sports-related eye injuries are preventable with proper equipment like sports glasses.” recommended by experts.
Take a break from screens
There’s no evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes. But staring at a screen can leave eyes tired and may make it hard to see clearly. Experts suggest following the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a break and look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Blinking (眨眼) less at screens leads to dryness. 39 If you still feel your eyes are dry or getting tired, use eye drops.
Stop smoking
Smoking isn’t just bad for your lungs, it can harm the eyes. Research indicates that smoking can lead to dry eyes, worsen existing eye conditions, and increase the risks of developing conditions such as cataracts and damage to the optic nerve. Eye problems triggered by smoking not only impact daily quality of life but can also result in significant visual impairment, even blindness. 40
A. Protect our eyes when at work
B. Wear safety glasses when needed
C. Then what can we do to keep healthy
D. But what can we do to protect our eyes
E. A good way to prevent that is drinking water.
F. Surprisingly, dark glasses may not offer the best protection.
G. Therefore, kicking the habit is necessary for maintaining good eyesight.
