Raised in Bengaluru, Meera Iyer has spent over a decade of her life discovering and restoring the city’s unexplored heritage buildings. The key moment came when she paid a visit to Devanahalli Fort. “It was shocking that many residents of the city were unaware of the presence of heritage buildings,” Meera says. “That realization became the catalyst for me to join INTACH (Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage).”
Speaking on the topic of what truly makes up history in the eyes of people, Meera comments, “There are thousands of monuments (历史遗迹) in the country protected by ASI (Archaeological Survey of India). However, there are small temples, buildings, schools, and homes that also hold historical significance. The challenge lies in protecting them. I understand that it’s not practical to protect every fragment (碎片) of the past, but there must be a way to document and raise awareness about these sites, so that more of our history can be maintained.”
To deal with the challenge, INTACH hosts heritage walks. The walks mainly focus on the local community and are targeted at the citizens of the city. “While we do welcome tourists and travellers, our emphasis is on engaging the local population,” says Meera. The group has organized hundreds of heritage walks in the local language to reach the goal. The organization also works on the protection of historical buildings. In the past years, it has restored several buildings in and around Bengaluru.
Talking about the future, Meera says, “We face a number of issues, with funding being the major problem. However, my end goal is to find myself without a job. In such a desirable state, heritage is fully protected, and the community as a whole is deeply involved in its protection. While the realization of this goal may be uncertain and not immediate, it remains a significant career.”
4. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in Paragraph I probably mean
A. Tool. B. Reason. C. Purpose. D. Disadvantage.
5. What aspect of cultural protection does Meera call for
A. Education about national heroes. B. Restoration of typical monuments.
C. Attention to varied types of heritage. D. Management of historical documents.
6. What does INTACH try to achieve through heritage walks
A. To familiarize people with local heritage. B. To explore new uses of the city heritage.
C. To raise money for building restoration. D. To attract citizens to local tourism.
7. How does Meera Iyer view her heritage protection work
A. Tiring and costly. B. Inspiring but dangerous.
C. Interesting and shocking. D. Challenging but rewarding.

Playing a musical instrument or singing could help keep the brain healthy in older age, UK researchers suggest. In their report, published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, they say music should be considered as part of a lifestyle approach to maintain the brain.
More than 1,100 people aged over 40, with an average age of 68, were studied. Scientists observed their brain function data, looking at the effects of playing an instrument, singing, reading and listening to music.
The researchers compared the cognitive (认知的) data of those in the study who engaged in music in some way in their lives, with those who never had. Their results showed that people who played musical instruments benefited the most, which may be because of the “multiple cognitive demands” of the activity.
“Playing the piano or keyboard appeared to be particularly beneficial. Simply listening to music did not appear to help cognitive health. The benefit seen with singing might be partly because of the known social aspects of being in a choir or group.” the researchers say.
“Because we have such sensitive brain tests for this study, we are able to look at individual aspects of the brain function, such as short-term memory, long-term memory and problem-solving,” lead author Anne Corbett said.
“Playing an instrument has a particularly big effect, and people who continue to play into an older age saw an additional benefit,” she said. “Our brain is a muscle like anything else and it needs to be exercised, and learning to read music is a bit like learning a new language.” In the study, people who read music regularly had better numerical memory.
“The message is around how people can proactively reduce their risk of cognitive decline or dementia (痴呆), and really thinking about engaging with music as a way of doing that.” Anne said. However, she added. “It would be naive to think taking up a musical instrument would mean you won’t develop dementia.”
8. What does the research say about music
A. It takes constant practice. B. It does old people’s brains a favor.
C. It improves long-term memory. D. It sharpens the language ability.
9. How is the research carried out
A. By conducting a survey. B. By citing an expert.
C. By making comparison. D. By exercising the brain.
10. Which best describes playing musical instruments
A. Emotionally disturbing. B. Mentally pleasing.
C. Physically challenging. D. Cognitively demanding.
11. Which word can replace the underlined word “naive” in the last paragraph
A. innocent. B. complicated. C. realistic. D. wise.

Mrs. Palin spoke as she walked to the front of the classroom, “Next Wednesday, I’ll give you a test to check your ability as a conductor. Now, select one of the composers listed on the chalkboard. And after class, find a tape containing the composition created by the composer. During the test, use the tape player to play the composition. When the music starts, imagine you are the conductor of an orchestra that performs the composer’s music.” And then she smiled, “You’ll receive the test in front of your classmates.”
“What A test in front of the classmates It will kill me,” I said to myself. Although normally I performed well in music, and often have high marks, I am quite a shy girl. After a short while, I took a deep breath and scanned the list of names on the chalkboard. One name caught my attention.
“Who’s that person ” I wondered. I didn’t know, but that was going to be my choice.
Seated in the classroom, I fixed my eyes on that name anxiously, hoping no one would announce that name. Finally, it was my turn. I said without a second thought, “Johannes Brahms.” once I said the name, panic washed over me. I sighed, “How am I going to do this I know nothing about the person and his composition. But I have to perform in front of my classmates and teacher.”
Later in the day, I went to a store and bought a tape that contained Johannes Brahms’s compositions and its relevant music notation (乐谱). Back home, played the tape, and tried to get familiar with the composition. When listening to the composition and looking at the music score, I held a stick and moved my arms to and fro (来回地), pretending to be guiding an orchestra. During the following days, I kept practicing but didn’t perform quite well. The composition was indeed hard to me.
When the big day came, I felt nervous as I slipped into my seat and waited for my turn to perform. Eventually, Mrs. Palin called my name, “Jill, it’s your turn.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Then, I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom.

The next day, Mrs. Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score.

【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Raised in Bengaluru, Meera Iyer has spent over a decade of her life discovering and restoring the city’s unexplored heritage buildings. The key moment came when she paid a visit to Devanahalli Fort.( Meera Iyer在班加罗尔长大，她花了十多年的时间来发现和修复这座城市未开发的遗产建筑。当她访问Devanahalli堡时，关键时刻到来了)”以及划线词上文“It was shocking that many residents of the city were unaware of the presence of heritage buildings(令人震惊的是，这座城市的许多居民都不知道这些历史建筑的存在)”可知，Meera花了十多年的时间来发现和修复这座城市未开发的遗产建筑，她去Devanahalli Fort参观时发现，没人了解那里的建筑，所以这种认识成为了地加入INTACH这个组织的“原因”。故划线词意思是“原因”。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, there are small temples, buildings, schools, and homes that also hold historical significance. The challenge lies in protecting them.(然而，也有一些具有历史意义的小寺庙、建筑、学校和住宅。挑战在于如何保护它们)”可知，Meera呼吁重视对多种类型文化遗产的保护。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The walks mainly focus on the local community and are targeted at the citizens of the city. “While we do welcome tourists and travellers, our emphasis is on engaging the local population,” says Meera. The group has organized hundreds of heritage walks in the local language to reach the goal.(步行主要集中在当地社区，并针对城市市民。Meera说：“虽然我们欢迎游客和旅行者，但我们的重点是吸引当地居民。”为了实现这一目标，该组织用当地语言组织了数百次遗产徒步旅行)”可知，INTACH组织遗产之旅的月的是让市民们了解他们城市的文化遗产。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Talking about the future, Meera says, “We face a number of issues, with funding being the major problem. However, my end goal is to find myself without a job. In such a desirable state, heritage is fully protected, and the community as a whole is deeply involved in its protection. While the realization of this goal may be uncertain and not immediate, it remains a significant career.”(谈到未来，米拉说：“我们面临许多问题，资金是主要问题。然而，我的最终目标是发现自己没有工作。在这种理想状态下，遗产得到充分保护，整个社会都深深参与到保护中来。虽然实现这一目标可能不确定，也不会立即实现，但它仍然是一项重要的事业。”)”可推知，虽然面临很多困难，Meera仍致力于文化遗产保护，即她认为这一事业“充满挑战，但有意义”。故选D。
C
Playing a musical instrument or singing could help keep the brain healthy in older age, UK researchers suggest. In their report, published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, they say music should be considered as part of a lifestyle approach to maintain the brain.
More than 1,100 people aged over 40, with an average age of 68, were studied. Scientists observed their brain function data, looking at the effects of playing an instrument, singing, reading and listening to music.
The researchers compared the cognitive (认知的) data of those in the study who engaged in music in some way in their lives, with those who never had. Their results showed that people who played musical instruments benefited the most, which may be because of the “multiple cognitive demands” of the activity.
“Playing the piano or keyboard appeared to be particularly beneficial. Simply listening to music did not appear to help cognitive health. The benefit seen with singing might be partly because of the known social aspects of being in a choir or group.” the researchers say.
“Because we have such sensitive brain tests for this study, we are able to look at individual aspects of the brain function, such as short-term memory, long-term memory and problem-solving,” lead author Anne Corbett said.
“Playing an instrument has a particularly big effect, and people who continue to play into an older age saw an additional benefit,” she said. “Our brain is a muscle like anything else and it needs to be exercised, and learning to read music is a bit like learning a new language.” In the study, people who read music regularly had better numerical memory.
“The message is around how people can proactively reduce their risk of cognitive decline or dementia (痴呆), and really thinking about engaging with music as a way of doing that.” Anne said. However, she added. “It would be naive to think taking up a musical instrument would mean you won’t develop dementia.”
8. What does the research say about music
A. It takes constant practice. B. It does old people’s brains a favor.
C. It improves long-term memory. D. It sharpens the language ability.
9. How is the research carried out
A. By conducting a survey. B. By citing an expert.
C. By making comparison. D. By exercising the brain.
10. Which best describes playing musical instruments
A. Emotionally disturbing. B. Mentally pleasing.
C. Physically challenging. D. Cognitively demanding.
11. Which word can replace the underlined word “naive” in the last paragraph
A. innocent. B. complicated. C. realistic. D. wise.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐活动（尤其是演奏乐器）对老年人认知健康的积极影响及研究方法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Playing a musical instrument or singing could help keep the brain healthy in older age, UK researchers suggest.(英国研究人员指出，演奏乐器或唱歌有助于老年人保持大脑健康)”可知，研究表明音乐对老年人的大脑有益。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The researchers compared the cognitive (认知的) data of those in the study who engaged in music in some way in their lives, with those who never had.(研究人员将研究中那些在生活里以某种方式接触过音乐的人的认知数据，与那些从未接触过音乐的人的认知数据进行了对比)”可推知，这项研究是通过比较的方式进行的。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Their results showed that people who played musical instruments benefited the most, which may be because of the ‘multiple cognitive demands’ of the activity.(他们的研究结果表明，演奏乐器的人受益最大，这可能是因为这项活动的“多种认知需求”)”可知，演奏乐器涉及“多重认知需求”，这意味着它需要大量的脑力投入，会激活大脑的多个区域，这也是它对认知健康如此有益的原因。所以用“认知要求高”来描述演奏乐器最合适。故选D。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文““The message is around how people can proactively reduce their risk of cognitive decline or dementia (痴呆), and really thinking about engaging with music as a way of doing that.” Anne said. (安妮说：“关键信息在于人们如何能够主动降低认知能力下降或患痴呆症的风险，并且切实考虑将参与音乐活动作为达成这一目标的一种方式。” )”及转折词“However”可知，前文提到人们可以通过参与音乐活动来主动降低认知能力下降或患痴呆症的风险，说明音乐对大脑健康有积极作用。而“However”在语境中起到了转变语义方向的作用，Anne指出认为学习一种乐器就意味着不会患痴呆症这种想法是一种不切实际、过于简单天真的想法。因此划线词naive的意思是“天真的，幼稚的”，与innocent“天真的，无辜的”意思相近。故选A。

(你知道自己没完没了地刷社交媒体的那些时刻吗？很多人都患有这种病，这让人们感到疲惫，工作效率低下。)”可知，空格处的句子应该接着说Blinkist是怎样帮助人们打破无意识刷屏的习惯。所以，D项“Blinkist turns those wasted minutes into valuable learning opportunities. (Blinkist把这些浪费的时间变成宝贵的学习机会。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选D项。
【16题详解】

【答案】Dear Tom,
Hearing that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals, I’m writing to tell you something about my favourite festival — the Mid-Autumn Festival.
With a long history of over 1300 years, the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most significant festivals in China, which falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. On that day, family members usually get together and have a feast. Besides, people will also admire the moon and share mooncakes. The reason why I love this festival is that I like eating mooncakes. They are in the shape of a full moon, carrying people’s wishes to the families they love and miss.
In short, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of pleasure and happiness. I hope that my letter will help you know more about Chinese festivals.
Yours,
Li Hua

53. 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。
Mrs. Palin spoke as she walked to the front of the classroom, “Next Wednesday, I’ll give you a test to check your ability as a conductor. Now, select one of the composers listed on the chalkboard. And after class, find a tape containing the composition created by the composer. During the test, use the tape player to play the composition. When the music starts, imagine you are the conductor of an orchestra that performs the composer’s music.” And then she smiled, “You’ll receive the test in front of your classmates.”
“What A test in front of the classmates It will kill me,” I said to myself. Although normally I performed well in music, and often have high marks, I am quite a shy girl. After a short while, I took a deep breath and scanned the list of names on the chalkboard. One name caught my attention.
“Who’s that person ” I wondered. I didn’t know, but that was going to be my choice.
Seated in the classroom, I fixed my eyes on that name anxiously, hoping no one would announce that name. Finally, it was my turn. I said without a second thought, “Johannes Brahms.” once I said the name, panic washed over me. I sighed, “How am I going to do this I know nothing about the person and his composition. But I have to perform in front of my classmates and teacher.”
Later in the day, I went to a store and bought a tape that contained Johannes Brahms’s compositions and its relevant music notation (乐谱). Back home, played the tape, and tried to get familiar with the composition. When listening to the composition and looking at the music score, I held a stick and moved my arms to and fro (来回地), pretending to be guiding an orchestra. During the following days, I kept practicing but didn’t perform quite well. The composition was indeed hard to me.
When the big day came, I felt nervous as I slipped into my seat and waited for my turn to perform. Eventually, Mrs. Palin called my name, “Jill, it’s your turn.”

Paragraph 2:
The next day, Mrs. Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then, I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom. Standing in front of all the students made me very nervous, and my legs kept shaking. To make the matter worse, my brain went blank at that very moment, forgeting my previous practice. However, I tried to remind myself to be calm. After a few deep breaths, I felt much better and began to perform. Thinking my conduct must be terrible, I was even unwilling to think about the result.
The next day, Mrs. Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score. With my report card in hand, my heart pounded because I was afraid that I would be the one who got the lowest score. I closed my eyes and slowly opened my report card. To my surprise, I got a high score. When the teacher announced that I was the best in my class, I almost jumped with joy. I understood that only by working hard, can we get good results.
