The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same： not interested.
That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession （迷恋） with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.
Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt. Qomolangma.
I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos — all united around a common goal.
I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get： the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been： inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.
4． Why did the author once hate climbing Mt. Qomolangma
A.Because the mountain was overcrowded.
B.Because his original climbing goal changed.
C.Because climbing it became a profit-driven industry.
D.Because he had to brave the elements on the mountain.
5． What motivated the author to climb Mt. Qomolangma later
A.The influence of Thom Pollard.
B.The results of the previous climbing.
C.The development of advanced equipment.
D.The spirit of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.
6．
What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Relieved my tiredness.
B.Showed my respect.
C.Expressed my gratitude.
D.Proved my determination.
7． What message does the passage mainly convey
A.The search for missing adventurers holds great value.
B.Modern climbing lacks respect for the natural environment.
C.Spirits of the climbers of Mt. Qomolangma are worth respect.
D.Experienced climbers are qualified to conquer Mt. Qomolangma.
A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao’s first city-walking journey in the spring of last year. Since then, the 21-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University has remained a city-walk fan, believing it to be the best way to "rediscover a city".
"I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during which going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the impression that Beijing was a noisy place," Zhao said.
With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive （沉浸式的） way.
Compared with tightly scheduled routes （路线） and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous （自发的） experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms.
On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. "The route offers a glimpse （瞥见） into the culture and landscape in different historical stages, as well as its beautiful natural scenery," it said.
Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. "City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much," he said.
8．Why do Zhao call city-walking the best way to "rediscover a city"
A.The variety of travel choices is limited.
B.Traditional group tour totally satisfies people’s need.
C.It is a more enjoyable and personal way to explore the city.
D.Common tour wastes much time in taking pictures.
9．What do we know about city-walk culture
A.It refers to a 30-minute walk on the video-sharing app Douyin.
B.It encourages the experience of free urban life without transportation.
C.It offers practical travel tips through social media platforms.
D.It shows historical moments of life-sharing platform Xiaohongshu.
10．What can we learn in the last but one paragraph
A.City-walk has gained popularity on the Internet.
B.City-walk is only loved by young people.
C.City-walk recommends the shortest route from one city to another.
D.City-walk has both advantages and disadvantages.
11．What is the best title of the passage
A.Walking Out from Home
B.Culture of Walking Catching on in Cities
C.A Popular Social Platform
D.Going Free to Explore the World
Damian Stefaniuk and his colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） have developed a novel energy storage device—a supercapacitor— using three basic, inexpensive materials： water, cement, and a soot （煤灰）, which can carry electricity.
Supercapacitors are highly efficient at storing energy but differ from batteries in some important ways. They can charge much more quickly than a lithium （锂） battery and don’t experience the same level of performance decline over time. But supercapacitors also release the power they store rapidly, making them less useful in devices such as mobile phones, laptops or electric cars where a steady supply of energy is needed over an extended period of time.
Yet according to Stefaniuk, these supercapacitors could make an important contribution to efforts to reduce carbon emissions and make the global economy more environmentally friendly. "If it can be scaled up, the technology can help solve an important issue— the storing of renewable energy," he says.
He and his fellow researchers at MIT envision several applications for their supercapacitors. One might be to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road. The rapid release of energy from the supercapacitors would allow vehicles to get a rapid boost to their batteries. Another application would be using supercapacitors in the foundations or walls of houses, so that these parts of the house not only support the structure but also store energy.
"But it’s still early stages. Right now, the supercapacitor made from building materials can only store just under 300 watt-hours per cubic meter, enough to power a 10-watt LED light for 30 hours. The power might seem low compared to regular batteries, but a foundation made from 30-40 cubic meters of this material could meet the daily energy needs of a house," says Stefaniuk. "Since this material is used so widely around the world, it has the potential to be very competitive and useful for energy storage."
12． What might be an advantage of supercapacitors
A.They require little care.
B.They are lighter in design.
C.They release power in a stable manner.
D.They continue to work effectively over time.
13． How does the author highlight the application of supercapacitors
A.By providing examples.
B.By giving instructions.C By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect.
14． Which of the following can be inferred about the supercapacitor technology
A.It is still developing and has great potential.
B.It will be limited to small-scale applications.
C.It is efficient enough to help replace batteries.
D.It will become widely used in everyday devices.
15． What is the purpose of this text
A.To present a difficult problem.
B.To advocate a timely action.
C.To introduce a possible solution.
D.To explain a complex process.
二、七选五
16．
Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether.① So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.
Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime. ②
Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). ③ Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can’t fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep.
④ Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences. ⑤ For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.
A.It can guarantee sufficient sleep.
B.It’s natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep.
C.The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age.
D.Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings.
E.This can have a serious effect on a person’s quality of life if it continues.
F.People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music.
G.Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past.

34．
Our school holds an annual book fair each January, where new and used books are available for students to purchase. Our librarian, Mr. Egan, is the school sponsor （主办者） for it. Traditionally, the tenth-grade students are responsible for the planning, set-up, and selling at the fair. I am sure that Mr. Egan consulted our teacher, Ms. Cates, for suggestions as to who would be the student directors, and I was pleasantly surprised when he approached me to be one of the students in charge. I was even more surprised when he told me that the student I would be working with was Charlie Lyons.
Charlie and I have known each other since kindergarten but have never been close. Ever since we were partners for the science project last year, there is very little we choose to say to each other. Needless to say, the science project fell short of our expectations. In light of that event, I was shocked that Mr. Egan and Ms. Cates found us a suitable match.
At the meeting with Mr. Egan, we divided the responsibilities between us. I would be in charge of setting up the room and getting the volunteers to work the sale for all three days. Charlie would be in charge of all the books. We were both quite satisfied with our jobs, and even more satisfied that there would be little contact between us.
With only two weeks to plan, I knew I could not waste time. I asked John and Rachel to help me with the set-up and twelve other classmates to work at the fair. I figured that, between Mr. Egan, the friends who volunteered to help, and me, we would be just fine.
Meanwhile, I tried on two separate occasions to start a conversation with Charlie about the progress he was making, but each time his response was, "Everything’s cool."
On the day of the set-up, my friends and I arrived, only to find Charlie with his head in his hands, surrounded by a million boxes of books. I asked him, "Charlie, what’s wrong "

4．答案： C
解析： 文章第一段指出"The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry.",表明珠峰原本是登山目标,后来却成了商业向导行业的焦点,这种商业化改变让作者讨厌攀登珠峰,所以原因是攀登它变成了逐利的产业,故选C选项。
5．答案： A
解析： 文中第二段提到"That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession （迷恋） with one of the greatest mysteries.",意思是若不是老朋友Thom Pollard及其对重大谜团的迷恋,作者关于珠峰的故事可能就结束了,可见是Thom Pollard的影响促使作者后来去攀登珠峰,因此选择A选项。
6．答案： B
解析： 结合第三段"Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route."的语境,作者不仅向Mallory和Irvine,还向所有有动力沿此路线攀登的人做这个动作,可推断出"tipped my hat"表达的是一种敬意,即"表示我的尊重",所以选B选项。
7．答案： C
解析： 文章最后一段"I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get： the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been： inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma."表明作者去珠峰寻找Irvine,最终发现了两人共有的精神,且强调这种精神就在那些勇敢攀登珠峰的人身上,传达出珠峰攀登者的精神值得尊重这一主旨,所以选择C选项。
8．答案： C
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段"With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive （沉浸式的） way.（随着旅游选择的多样化,传统的团体游已经不能满足那些寻求更个性化和不同的旅行体验,并希望以一种更沉浸式的方式探索城市的每一个部分的人）"和最后一段中Zhao所说的话"City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much （城市漫步就是在探索城市的过程中做任何你想做的事情,它实际上是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式,我非常喜欢）"可推知,因为不同于传统的团体游,城市漫步是探索城市的一种更愉快、更个人化的方式,所以赵称城市漫步是"重新发现一个城市"的最好方式。故选C项。
9．答案： B
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中"The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one's legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms.（流行的城市漫步文化也在各大社交媒体平台上引起了轰动,这种文化鼓励人们在除了腿和脚之外没有任何交通工具的情况下体验城市生活）"可知,城市漫步文化鼓励人们在没有交通工具的情况下体验自由城市生活。故选B项。
10．答案： A
解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中"On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about city walk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-foldfirom the previous year.（在视频分享应用抖音,中国版的Tik-Tok上,最近发布的一段关于广东省广州城市漫步路线的视频,获得了超过17.1万个赞,有7.2万名不同年龄的观众把这段视频加到了自己的收藏。根据生活方式分享平台小红书的一份报告,今年上半年,关于城市漫步的搜索量比去年增长了30倍）"可知,城市漫步在抖音和小红书两个平台上都是热门话题。由此可知,城市漫步在互联网上很受欢迎。故选A项。
11．答案： B
解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段"Compared with tightly scheduled routes （路线） and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous（自发的） experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one's legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms.（与紧凑的路线和拍照旅游相比,城市漫步侧重于自由、随意和自发的体验。流行的城市漫步文化也在各大社交媒体平台上引起了轰动,这种文化鼓励人们在除了腿和脚之外没有任何交通工具的情况下体验城市生活）"可知,文章围绕城市漫步展开,介绍了城市漫步作为一种个性化和不同的旅游方式,满足了人们以一种更沉浸式的方式探索城市的需求,是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式,受到了人们的喜爱。因此,B项"漫步文化在城市中流行起来"契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
12．答案： D
解析： 根据第二段"They can charge much more quickly than a lithium （锂） battery and don’t experience the same level of performance decline over time."可知,超级电容器与锂电池相比,不会随着时间出现同样程度的性能下降,即它们能长时间持续有效地工作,所以选择D选项。A选项"它们几乎不需要保养"文中未提及；B选项"它们设计上更轻便"也未在文中体现；C选项"它们以稳定的方式释放能量"与文中"They also release the power they store rapidly"不符,其释放能量是快速的,并非稳定的。
13．答案： A
解析： 文章第四段"He and his fellow researchers at MIT envision several applications for their supercapacitors. One might be to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road. Another application would be using supercapacitors in the foundations or walls of houses, so that these parts of the house not only support the structure but also store energy."通过列举在道路上以及房屋基础或墙壁中的应用等例子,来突出超级电容器的应用情况,所以是通过举例的方式,选择A选项。B选项"通过给出指导说明"不符合文章呈现方式；C选项"通过作比较"文中主要不是用比较手法来体现应用的；D选项"通过呈现因果关系"也不符合此处对应用的介绍方式。
14．答案： A
解析： 从最后一段"But it’s still early stages. Right now, the supercapacitor made from building materials can only store just under 300 watt-hours per cubic meter...Since this material is used so widely around the world, it has the potential to be very competitive and useful for energy storage."可知,目前超级电容器技术还处于早期阶段,不过鉴于其使用材料在全球应用广泛,有很大的潜力,所以可以推断出它仍在发展且潜力巨大,选择A选项。B选项"它将局限于小规模应用"与文中提到的有多种应用设想及潜力不符；C选项"它效率足够高以至于能帮助取代电池",文中只是说有应用场景,未表明能取代电池；D选项"它将在日常设备中广泛使用"目前还处于早期阶段,还未达到广泛使用的程度。
15．答案： C
解析： 文章开篇介绍了一种新型的超级电容器,接着阐述了它的优势、应用设想以及目前的发展阶段和潜力等内容,整体是在向读者介绍这种可能有助于解决能源存储等问题的方案,所以目的是介绍一种可能的解决方案,选择C选项。A选项"呈现一个难题"不是文章重点；B选项"倡导一个及时的行动"文中未体现倡导之意；D选项"解释一个复杂过程"文章重点不是解释过程,而是介绍超级电容器这一事物本身及其相关情况。
16．答案： E； F； D； B； G
解析： ①根据上文"Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether.（即使你最终能睡着,花太长时间入睡也会导致睡眠时间太少）"以及后文"So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.（所以入睡困难的人总是想知道他们如何才能睡得好）"可知,本句承接上文,说明花太长时间入睡的情况对人们的影响,后文给出解决方案。故E选项"如果这种情况持续下去,会对一个人的生活质量产生严重的影响"符合语境,故选E。
②根据上文"Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime.（父母从经验中知道轻柔的音乐可以帮助婴儿入睡。科学支持这一点,表明所有年龄段的孩子,从婴儿到小学生,在听了舒适的音乐后睡得更好。幸运的是,孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人）"可知,上文提到"孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人",说明其他年龄段的人也可以从中受益。故F选项"各年龄段的人都说听轻音乐后睡眠质量更好"符合语境,故选F。
③根据上文"Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology （生理机能）.（听音乐可能改善睡眠的原因不止一个。音乐可以通过影响你的生理机能直接促进睡眠）"可知,本句具体说明音乐是如何影响生理机能促进睡眠的。故D选项"听音乐可以减轻你的压力,激发积极的情绪"符合语境,故选D。
④根据后文"Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep.（研究考察了许多类型的音乐和播放列表,但对于最适合睡眠的音乐,还没有一个明确的答案）"可知,本句与最适合睡觉的音乐类型有关,B选项type对应后文types。故B选项"想知道最适合睡觉的音乐类型是很自然的"符合语境,故选B。
⑤根据上文"One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences.（关于音乐如何影响一个人的身体,最重要的一点是他们自己的音乐偏好）"以及后文"For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.（对于那些不想设计自己的播放列表的人来说,在线音乐服务已经介入,通常提供睡眠或放松的播放列表）"可知,本句主要说明设计个人播放列表来促进睡眠。故G选项"有用的个人播放列表可能包括过去帮助睡眠的放松歌曲"符合语境,故选G。
17．答案： C
解析： 根据前文"I was interested in volunteering at a hospital because both of my parents work in hospitals. I wanted to see..."可知,因为父母都在医院工作,作者想看看在医院工作到底是什么样的经历（experience）,所以选择C选项。A选项"机会"、B选项"决定"、D选项"冒险"均不符合此处语境。
18．答案： A

32．答案： an； where； to spot； rose； compared； as； claiming； and； firms； affordable
解析： ①"hour"是以元音音素开头的可数名词,此处表示"大约一小时的车程",所以用"an"。
②此处考查定语从句,先行词是"chaguans, or traditional teahouses",在从句中作地点状语,即"localsgathered to discuss the news or conduct business"是在这些茶馆里发生的,所以用关系副词"where"引导定语从句。

④根据时间状语"Between2010 and 2022"可知,此处描述的是过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时,所以填"rose"。

34．答案：
He responded in despair, “There are a lot more books here than I expected.” My initial impulse was to say, “This is your mess. Figure it out yourself.” But instead I said, “Let me see if I can get some help.” Charlie nodded, appreciating the support. Then, we, together with other helpers, rolled up our sleeves and started sorting them by genre. Hours passed by as we worked side by side. Slowly but surely, the chaos began to transform into a perfect fair, and our avoidance of contact into smooth communication. I was surprised that the book fair was a success and even more surprised that we could actually work well together.(98 words)
After the book fair was over, I couldn’t stop wondering why Mr. Egan put us together. I approached him, eager to figure out his intention of this unlikely pairing. However, his reply was quite simple, “Iknew that this would be a great experience for both of you. It wasn’t so much about running the book fair as it was a lesson in how important it is to communicate and to work alongside others when necessary.” Hearing what he said and thinking of what happened between Charlie and me, I couldn’t help but smile. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons are learned amidst the challenges we face and the people we least expect to be our allies.(100 words)
