A man came home from work late to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question ”
“Yeah sure, what is it ” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour ”
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. “How dare he ask such questions only to get some money ”
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down and started to think: “Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 because he really didn’t ask for money very often.”
The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son ” He asked. “No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too strict with you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my bad feelings on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.” The little boy sat straight up, smiling, “Oh, thank you, daddy!” Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled(褶皱的)bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. “Why do you want more money if you already have some ” the father complained. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $20 now.

Some chimpanzees(黑猩猩)are much wilder when it comes to making beats, scientists have discovered. In a Ugandan rainforest, the chimps have developed their own drumming(击鼓)styles on tree roots. Researchers observed their drumming styles range from rock to jazz. One chimpanzee brought back the style of the late John Bonham, a drummer who played a piece of music, Whole Lotta Love, and is ranked as one of the best. “The chimpanzee makes very fast drums with many evenly separated beats. His drumming is so fast that you can hardly see his hands.” said Catherine, leading scientist of the study.
Drumming with feet and hands with their special calls is used to exchange messages through thick forests, even with miles between them. Ben the Alpha’s call was a close two quick beats and a distant third, sometimes fourth.
Catherine also said. “We could often recognize which chimpanzee was drumming, and it was a fantastic way to find the different ones we were looking for. So if we could recognize, we were sure they could.”
The team was surprised to note the chimpanzees only used their personalized drumming styles when on the move, showing that the chimpanzees could decide whether to be recognized or not. The research could also settle a problem about why these chimpanzees greet each other when they meet but are not observed to say goodbye when they part in the forest. “The chimpanzees don’t need to say goodbye because they’re effectively able to keep in touch.” Catherine said. These long-distance signals give the chimpanzees a way to recognize with each other.
The researchers’ next study will be to explore whether different drumming styles can lead to different drumming cultures among the different chimpanzee populations.
28. What do we know about the chimpanzees in the first paragraph
A. Their drumming styles are too fast to discover.
B. Their own drumming styles have been formed.
C. Their wild drumming styles are ranked as the best.
D. Their drumming styles are in various music forms.
29. How do the male chimpanzees communicate through thick forests
A. By performing different styles of calling.
B. By beating the drum quickly on tree roots.
C. By combining drumming and special calls.
D. By using their personalized drumming styles.
30. Why is it unnecessary for these chimpanzees to say goodbye
A. Because they don’t want to be recognized.
B. Because they don’t want to see each other.
C. Because they are on the move all the time.
D. Because they have their own way to contact.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The Chimps—singers in their special voices
B. The Chimps—drummers in personalized styles
C. The Chimps interested in making musical beats
D. The Chimps delighted in performing with hands
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. D 31. B

细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The team was surprised to note the chimpanzees only used their personalized drumming styles when on the move, showing that the chimpanzees could decide whether to be recognized or not. (该团队惊讶地注意到，黑猩猩只在移动时使用它们个性化的击鼓风格，这表明黑猩猩可以决定是否被认出来)”可知，雄性黑猩猩通过使用它们个性化的鼓点风格在茂密的森林中交流。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The chimpanzees don’t need to say goodbye because they’re effectively able to keep in touch (黑猩猩不需要说再见，因为它们能够有效地保持联系)”可知，这些黑猩猩没有必要说再见是因为它们有自己的联系方式。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了研究人员观察到它们在树根上发展了自己的鼓点风格，从摇滚到爵士不等。结合文章最后一段“The researchers’ next study will be to explore whether different drumming styles can lead to different drumming cultures among the different chimpanzee populations.（研究人员的下一项研究将是探索不同的打鼓风格是否会在不同的黑猩猩群体中导致不同的打鼓文化。)”可知，因此本文的最佳标题是B. The Chimps—drummers in personalized styles（黑猩猩——个性化风格的鼓手）。故选B。

Speaking two languages deeply affects the brain and changes how the nervous system reacts to sound, and researches have shown that learning a foreign language can strengthen brain power, but a new study suggests that the effects go further to those who begin in middle childhood.
It indicates that people who began learning a foreign language at 10 and were always exposed to the language, meaning they heard and used it in daily life, had improvements in the structure of the brain’s white matter compared with people who grew up speaking only one language and did not learn a foreign language.
These “higher levels of structural integrity(完整性)” were in areas responsible for language learning and semantic(语义的)processing, which occurs when the meaning of a word is encoded and related to similar words with similar meaning.
The new findings, published in the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, studied brain scans from 200 subjects(实验者), all around the age of 30, who lived in Britain for at least 13 months. They all started learning English as a foreign language at the age of 10.
Their imaging scans were compared with people of similar age who spoke only English. The study was led by Christos of the University of Kent School of Psychology in Britain.
“Everyday dealing with more than one language benefits specific language-related brain structures by preserving their integrity, and therefore it protects them against deterioration in older age,” the study found.
32. Who may have stronger brain power according to the text
A. A person who learns English as a foreign language.
B. A person who speaks English as a mother language.
C. A person who can speak English well at an early age.
D. A person who hears and uses English in everyday life.
33. What can we know from 200 subjects’ brain scans
A. The 200 subjects lived in Britain to learn English.
B. The 200 subjects studied English at the age of 30.
C. The structure of their brains’ white matter improved.
D. The structure of their brains’ white matter disappeared.
34. What does the underlined word “deterioration” mean in the last paragraph
A. Evolving. B. Reaction. C. Worsening. D. Formation.
35. What’s the text mainly about
A. Speaking two languages affects the brain seriously.
B. Speaking two languages changes how the brain works.
C. Learning a foreign language can affect people’s childhood.
D. Learning a foreign language at 10 strengthens brain power.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了10岁学一门外语可以增强脑力。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“researches have shown that learning a foreign language can strengthen brain power.(研究表明，学习一门外语可以增强脑力。)”可知，把英语作为外语来学习的人脑力更强。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“It indicates that people who began learning a foreign language at 10 and were always exposed to the language, meaning they heard and used it in daily life, had improvements in the structure of the brain’s white matter compared with people who grew up speaking only one language and did not learn a foreign language.(研究表明，那些从10岁开始学习一门外语并一直接触到这门语言的人，也就是说他们在日常生活中听到并使用这门语言，与那些从小只说一门语言、没有学习过外语的人相比，他们的大脑白质结构有所改善。) ”和第四段的“The new findings, published in the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, studied brain scans from 200 subjects, all around the age of 30, who lived in Britain for at least 13 months. They all started learning English as a foreign language at the age of 10.(这项新发现于周一发表在《美国国家科学院》上，研究人员对200名30岁左右的受试者进行了脑部扫描，这些受试者在英国生活了至少13个月。他们都是从10岁开始学习英语作为外语的。)”可知，我们能从200名受试者的脑部扫描中了解到这200名受试者的大脑白质结构得到改善。。故选C。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“Everyday dealing with more than one language benefits specific language-related brain structures by preserving their integrity(研究发现:“每天使用一种以上的语言有利于保持与语言相关的特定大脑结构的完整性)”可知，这些大脑结构在老年时会得到保护从而不会恶化，则划线词意为“恶化”，故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段的“Speaking two languages deeply affects the brain and changes how the nervous system reacts to sound, and researches have shown that learning a foreign language can strengthen brain power, but a new study suggests that the effects go further to those who begin in middle childhood.(会说两种语言会对大脑产生深刻的影响，并改变神经系统对声音的反应。研究表明，学习一门外语可以增强脑力，但一项新的研究表明，对那些从童年中期开始学习外语的人来说，这种影响更大。)”和第二段的“It indicates that people who began learning a foreign language at 10 and were always exposed to the language, meaning they heard and used it in daily life, had improvements in the structure of the brain’s white matter compared with people who grew up speaking only one language and did not learn a foreign language.(研究表明，那些从10岁开始学习一门外语并一直接触到这门语言的人，也就是说他们在日常生活中听到并使用这门语言，与那些从小只说一门语言、没有学习过外语的人相比，他们的大脑白质结构有所改善。) ”可知，文章主要讲述了10岁学一门外语可以增强脑力。故选D。

“Pickleball comes from tennis, badminton and table tennis,” says Hope Tolley, managing director of USA Pickleball. ____37____ And it uses square paddles (球拍) and a small plastic ball that’s similar in size to a tennis ball, but much lighter.
Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn to serve. What you should do is keep the ball in the air, and if your opponent(called the receiver)fails to return the ball over the net, you get the point. ____38____ If not, you’ll end up with a shot that fails to reach the net. Matches can be played in doubles or singles, and games are played to 11 points.
____39____ Because the game can vary the intensity-going all out or taking a slower pace-pickleball suits professional athletes and beginners alike. It’s a great workout and it’s a low-influence sport, so it’s easy on players’ joints (关节).
People who are really into the sport can join tournaments at various levels. The first World Pickleball Games will be held next summer in Austin, Texas. ____40____
A. Here’s how the game is played.
B. So be sure to hit with enough force.
C. Make sure you can’t stand in wrong position.
D. Playing pickleball can’t have any negative impact on players.
E. It’s played on a badminton-sized court with a slightly lowered tennis net.
F. If you haven’t played it yourself, you’ve probably at least heard of pickleball.
G. By 2030, pickleball is expected to have as many as 40 million players worldwide.

第二节(共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分)

Chinese people eat foods with the symbols of good luck, prosperity, and happiness during the Chinese New Year.
Fish
Fish is ____56____ (common) eaten for New Year’s dinner throughout the country. The Chinese word “fish” sounds like the word for “yu”, ____57____ means always having more than you wish. It is custom that the fish ____58____ (cook) with its head and tail to ensure a good start and finish.
Chicken

【答案】monly
57. which 58. is cooked

60. bears 61. to comfort
62. as 63. saying
64. the 65. dishes
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国人在春节期间所吃的象征着好运、繁荣和幸福的食物。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意：在全国各地，新年晚餐通常吃鱼。使用副词修饰过去分词eaten，需要的词义为“通常”，故填commonly。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：“鱼”这个汉字听起来像“yu”，意思是永远拥有比你想要的更多的东西。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，yu是先行词，它在从句中作主语，指物，因此使用which引导定语从句，故填which。
【58题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：按照惯例，鱼在烹饪时要带着头和尾，寓意着人们有一个好的开始和结束。根据“It is custom ”可知，从句使用一般现在时，并且主语fish (单数意义) 承受cook的动作，因此cook使用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is cooked。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：鸡肉是餐桌上的必备菜，因为汉语中“鸡”的发音与“jí”的发音相同。使用名词作主语，需要的词义为“发音”，即pronunciation，它不需要变复数，特指“鸡”这个字的发音。故填pronunciation。
【60题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在某些地方，一只完整供应的鸡具有幸福的意义。此句子描述的为一般性事实，谓语动词使用一般现在时，并且主语a chicken 为单数意义，则bear使用第三人称单数的形式，故填bears。
【61题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：在中国农村，春节杀猪以慰藉一年的辛勤劳动是一种传统。此处为动词不定式作目的状语，表示“为了慰藉”，故填to comfort。
62题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：人们把在家庭团圆饭上吃猪肉视为来年富裕生活的象征。固定搭配regard...as...意为“把……看成是……”，故填as。
【63题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：当你说虾的时候，你的嘴会看起来像是在说“哈哈哈”。say的逻辑主语是you，因此完整的从句为“when you are saying shrimp”，将“you are”省略，故填saying。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：人们在这一年中最重要的晚餐上吃虾，为了祝愿新的一年生活幸福。new year为特指意义“来年”，因此使用定冠词the，故填the。
【65题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：2024年农历新年即将到来，试试这些寓意远大的传统菜肴，在新的一年里好运连连。dish是可数名词，在句子中为泛指意义，需要变复数，故填dishes。

67. 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。
Long long ago, there was a little prince who was used to having everything he wanted. He was so badly behaved that he wouldn’t let anybody have a new toy if he didn’t have it first. If any child in the land wanted a new toy, they had to buy two and give one to him. Therefore, the little prince had no friends except for his toys.
One day a magic toymaker, who invented the most wonderful toys, came to the land. The little prince liked his toys so much that he invited him to spend an entire year in the palace, promising him great wealth if he made him a new toy every day. The toymaker set just one condition: “My toys are very special and need an owner who will play with them” he said. “Will you be able to devote a little time to each one every day ” “Of course, I will” the little prince replied impatiently.
From then on, every morning the little prince received a new toy. Every day the toymaker delivered a toy better than the previous ones. The little prince appeared very happy.
But the toy collection kept growing and, after a few weeks there were simply too many toys to play with all of them every day. So, one day the little prince put a few toys to one side, hoping that the toymaker wouldn’t notice. However, when it was night time and he was ready to go to bed. The toys that had been put away lined up in front of him and, one by one, demanded their daily playtime. The little prince couldn’t get to sleep until well past midnight because he had to play with every single toy.
Next day, tired after all his efforts, the prince slept very late. In the little time left of the day, he had to get to know a new toy and then play with all the others too. Once again, he finished very late and was so tired he could hardly stop yawning (打哈欠).
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。
Every day was a little bit worse than the one before, with the same amount of time but one extra toy to play with.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The children saw the prince, wondering whether the prince would force them to hand over their toys just like before.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Every day was a little bit worse than the one before, with the same amount of time but one extra toy to play with. Tired and sleepy, the prince hardly had time to enjoy playing. Worse still, the toys were getting more and more angry because the time he spent playing with them was becoming shorter and shorter. He only had time to go from one toy to another, eating as he played, talking as he played and even sleeping as he played. Tiredness and loneliness captured him, just like a terrible dream. One day, he saw out of his window some children playing with toys next to the palace. He decided to walk to them.
The children saw the prince, wondering whether the prince would force them to hand over their toys just like before. But the prince didn’t want the toys. Surprisingly, he only wanted them to play with him and share his toys. He did the same thing every day and invited more children to the castle to share his toys. The prince could enjoy himself without having too many toys to play with. Even better, he made new friends. When it was time for the toymaker to leave, the 365 fantastic toys he made were shared and the palace turned into the best playroom for the prince and his friends.

A man came home from work late to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question ”
“Yeah sure, what is it ” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour ”
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”
Looking up, the little boy asked, “Daddy, may I please borrow $10 ”
The father was angry, “If the only reason why you asked that is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such this childish behavior ”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. “How dare he ask such questions only to get some money ”
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down and started to think: “Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 because he really didn’t ask for money very often.”
The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son ” He asked. “No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too strict with you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my bad feelings on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.” The little boy sat straight up, smiling, “Oh, thank you, daddy!” Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled(褶皱的)bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. “Why do you want more money if you already have some ” the father complained. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

Some chimpanzees(黑猩猩)are much wilder when it comes to making beats, scientists have discovered. In a Ugandan rainforest, the chimps have developed their own drumming(击鼓)styles on tree roots. Researchers observed their drumming styles range from rock to jazz. One chimpanzee brought back the style of the late John Bonham, a drummer who played a piece of music, Whole Lotta Love, and is ranked as one of the best. “The chimpanzee makes very fast drums with many evenly separated beats. His drumming is so fast that you can hardly see his hands.” said Catherine, leading scientist of the study.
Drumming with feet and hands with their special calls is used to exchange messages through thick forests, even with miles between them. Ben the Alpha’s call was a close two quick beats and a distant third, sometimes fourth.
Catherine also said. “We could often recognize which chimpanzee was drumming, and it was a fantastic way to find the different ones we were looking for. So if we could recognize, we were sure they could.”
The team was surprised to note the chimpanzees only used their personalized drumming styles when on the move, showing that the chimpanzees could decide whether to be recognized or not. The research could also settle a problem about why these chimpanzees greet each other when they meet but are not observed to say goodbye when they part in the forest. “The chimpanzees don’t need to say goodbye because they’re effectively able to keep in touch.” Catherine said. These long-distance signals give the chimpanzees a way to recognize with each other.
The researchers’ next study will be to explore whether different drumming styles can lead to different drumming cultures among the different chimpanzee populations.
28. What do we know about the chimpanzees in the first paragraph
A. Their drumming styles are too fast to discover.
B. Their own drumming styles have been formed.
C. Their wild drumming styles are ranked as the best.
D. Their drumming styles are in various music forms.
29. How do the male chimpanzees communicate through thick forests

B. By beating the drum quickly on tree roots.
C. By combining drumming and special calls.
D. By using their personalized drumming styles.
30. Why is it unnecessary for these chimpanzees to say goodbye
A. Because they don’t want to be recognized.
B. Because they don’t want to see each other.
C. Because they are on the move all the time.
D. Because they have their own way to contact.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The Chimps—singers in their special voices
B. The Chimps—drummers in personalized styles
C. The Chimps interested in making musical beats
D. The Chimps delighted in performing with hands
D
Speaking two languages deeply affects the brain and changes how the nervous system reacts to sound, and researches have shown that learning a foreign language can strengthen brain power, but a new study suggests that the effects go further to those who begin in middle childhood.
It indicates that people who began learning a foreign language at 10 and were always exposed to the language, meaning they heard and used it in daily life, had improvements in the structure of the brain’s white matter compared with people who grew up speaking only one language and did not learn a foreign language.
These “higher levels of structural integrity(完整性)” were in areas responsible for language learning and semantic(语义的)processing, which occurs when the meaning of a word is encoded and related to similar words with similar meaning.
The new findings, published in the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, studied brain scans from 200 subjects(实验者), all around the age of 30, who lived in Britain for at least 13 months. They all started learning English as a foreign language at the age of 10.
Their imaging scans were compared with people of similar age who spoke only English. The study was led by Christos of the University of Kent School of Psychology in Britain.
“Everyday dealing with more than one language benefits specific language-related brain structures by preserving their integrity, and therefore it protects them against deterioration in older age,” the study found.
32. Who may have stronger brain power according to the text
A. A person who learns English as a foreign language.
B. A person who speaks English as a mother language.
C. A person who can speak English well at an early age.
D. A person who hears and uses English in everyday life.
33. What can we know from 200 subjects’ brain scans
A. The 200 subjects lived in Britain to learn English.
B. The 200 subjects studied English at the age of 30.
C. The structure of their brains’ white matter improved.
D. The structure of their brains’ white matter disappeared.
34. What does the underlined word “deterioration” mean in the last paragraph
A. Evolving. B. Reaction. C. Worsening. D. Formation.
35. What’s the text mainly about
A. Speaking two languages affects the brain seriously.
B. Speaking two languages changes how the brain works.
C. Learning a foreign language can affect people’s childhood.
D. Learning a foreign language at 10 strengthens brain power.

The International Federation of Pickleball, with 60 member countries and counties, is working to make sure pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. ____36____
“Pickleball comes from tennis, badminton and table tennis,” says Hope Tolley, managing director of USA Pickleball. ____37____ And it uses square paddles (球拍) and a small plastic ball that’s similar in size to a tennis ball, but much lighter.

Matches can be played in doubles or singles, and games are played to 11 points.
____39____ Because the game can vary the intensity-going all out or taking a slower pace-pickleball suits professional athletes and beginners alike. It’s a great workout and it’s a low-influence sport, so it’s easy on players’ joints (关节).
People who are really into the sport can join tournaments at various levels. The first World Pickleball Games will be held next summer in Austin, Texas. ____40____
A. Here’s how the game is played.
B. So be sure to hit with enough force.

67. 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。
Long long ago, there was a little prince who was used to having everything he wanted. He was so badly behaved that he wouldn’t let anybody have a new toy if he didn’t have it first. If any child in the land wanted a new toy, they had to buy two and give one to him. Therefore, the little prince had no friends except for his toys.
One day a magic toymaker, who invented the most wonderful toys, came to the land. The little prince liked his toys so much that he invited him to spend an entire year in the palace, promising him great wealth if he made him a new toy every day. The toymaker set just one condition: “My toys are very special and need an owner who will play with them” he said. “Will you be able to devote a little time to each one every day ” “Of course, I will” the little prince replied impatiently.
From then on, every morning the little prince received a new toy. Every day the toymaker delivered a toy better than the previous ones. The little prince appeared very happy.
But the toy collection kept growing and, after a few weeks there were simply too many toys to play with all of them every day. So, one day the little prince put a few toys to one side, hoping that the toymaker wouldn’t notice. However, when it was night time and he was ready to go to bed. The toys that had been put away lined up in front of him and, one by one, demanded their daily playtime. The little prince couldn’t get to sleep until well past midnight because he had to play with every single toy.
Next day, tired after all his efforts, the prince slept very late. In the little time left of the day, he had to get to know a new toy and then play with all the others too. Once again, he finished very late and was so tired he could hardly stop yawning (打哈欠).
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。
Every day was a little bit worse than the one before, with the same amount of time but one extra toy to play with.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The children saw the prince, wondering whether the prince would force them to hand over their toys just like before.
