The Music Educator Award, this year, went to Annie Ray, an orchestra(管弦乐队)director at Annandale High School.She was recognized for her efforts to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities.Ray got to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and bring home a $10,000 prize.
Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play the same instrument as their child.Ray also works with a local charity to give damaged instruments a second life in her classroom.
The orchestra is about much more than just making music.The most important is to give students a chance to develop their cooperation skills, make mistakes and learn the art of refining something.Ray pushes her students to be brave, go outside their comfort zone and realize they have to learn how to make bad sounds before learning how to make good sounds.And they teach her a lot in return.” They changed my educational philosophy.I understand what it truly means to meet a student where they’re at and apply that elsewhere,” she said.
The warm reception on the ceremony was meaningful.Actually, not many people understand what exactly music educators do or how much their work matters.While her administration is supportive, that lack of understanding is a problem facing the profession in general.Another is resources.She says her school “desperately” needs new instruments.She will use some of her prize money to buy more.
Ray also plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate.She knows of several, those particularly interested in music, and aims to offer financial support needed to realize their musical dreams” It is hard but truly satisfying,” Ray said.“And there’s nothing else like it for them.”

C. She gave away instruments to the poor. D. She founded a local charity for children.
5. What do students benefit most from the orchestra
A. They acquire in-depth musical knowledge. B. They make friends with the like-minded.
C. They gain personal growth from playing music. D. They improve their connections with educators.
6. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A. The reception on the ceremony. B. Importance of music education.
C. Challenges for music educators. D. Plans to obtain resources.

A. Winning a scholarship. B. Developing interest in music.

Biologists in the United States are sounding an alarm about a deadly disease that has been attacking a quiet, intelligent animal: the bat. The disease, called white-nose syndrome, is an infection caused by a fungus (真菌) that attack the nose, wings, and other skin areas on the bodies of bats while they are hibernating (冬眠) in large groups in their caves. The disease was first discovered in a New York cave in the winter of 2006, and it is spreading quickly. Infected caves have been discovered in 19 states and in Canada.
Scientists have discovered that the source is a strain of a cold-loving fungus usually found in polar regions. They are not sure how the fungus kills bats. One theory is that the fungus causes discomfort. The bats began to become upset and partially wake up from hibernation. This activity causes them to burn precious stored body fat and die of starvation. Experts estimate that over 5. 5 million bats across nine species have disappeared because of the disease. Wildlife experts fear that if the infection spreads to more bat populations in the Southeast and Midwest, endangered bat species, such as the Indiana bat and Virginia big-eared bat, may be in grave danger of extinction.
Why should Americans care about the loss of these creatures In warm months, bat fly at night, eating up to their body weight in insects. They control the populations of insects that bite, eat crops, destroy forests, and spread disease. Because of this, the United States government is getting involved. It has heard announcements from bat experts and is taking seriously their pleas (请愿) for funding to study the disease. The possibility of what one lawmaker called “an ecological and economic disaster” is very real if the deadly disease spreads further.
8. What causes white-nose syndrome among the bats
A. Ecological pollution. B. A cold-loving fungus.
C. The freezing climate. D. The lack of food.
9. What is the main idea of paragraph 2
A. Where the experts discovered the disease. B. Why the bats’ hibernation is disturbed.
C. How the fungus possibly affects bats. D. What contributed to the concern of the experts.
10. What is the main concern about the extinction of the bat in the US
A. The imbalance of the ecosystem. B. The destruction of the forests.
C. The spread of the disease. D. The decrease of the insect population.
11. What is the US government most likely to do in the future
A. To introduce laws to protect bats.
B. To appeal to people to stay away from infected bats.
C. To declare the coming of an ecological disaster
D. To approve funding for bat disease research.
D
A new study involving nearly 50000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults’ health and longevity(长寿), and whether the ideal number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up.
Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50,000 participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3,500 steps; the second, 5,800; the third, 7,800; and the fourth, 10,900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40—53% lower risk of death, compared to the lowest step group.
More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000—10,000 steps per day.
“So, what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases, until it levels off. Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before, which found that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people’s risk of early death. “There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.” Paluch says. “More steps per day are better for your health.”
12. Why did the scientists carry out the new study
A. To know about people’s health condition.
B. To explain the pedometer’s working principles.
C. To determine the best physical activity for people.
D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking.
13. What does the underlined words “leveled off” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Turned higher. B. Became stable. C. Fell sharply. D. Changed rapidly.
14. What does the experiment find
A. The old should walk as much as possible.
B. Young people usually walk more than the old.
C. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups.
D. Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death.
15. What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do
A. To walk more steps. B. To control walking speed.
C. To limit walking distance. D. To track the number of steps.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you think of your closest friends, who will come to your mind Perhaps your college roommates or the neighbor you played with as a child. Regardless of how you met these people, they most likely have one key thing in common: ____16____ A 2023 study found that, for those aged 21 to 30, over 80 percent in their social circles, were born within five years of them. Moreover, nearly 63 percent of adults have no close friends 15 years older or younger than them.
Spending our time with such a narrow group of people can fuel age segregation and increase our loneliness. These limitations also keep us from other generations’ mindsets and potentially surprising points of connection. ____17____ Of course, the ones that are older might offer a brief look into the coming years.
A program that runs schools out of senior centers has said a lot about it. ____18____ Dawn Carr, a sociology professor, said most older people get much from practical help—with new technology, for instance—their younger friends offered. ____19____ Having fun with someone decades younger definitely takes off their pressure to “act their age”.
____20____ Lila, aged 75, was proud that her life experiences prepared her to give advice to her young friend with depression, for which the young was grateful. Also, older friends offer more examples of what growing up can look like. If someone’s parents are the only older people they know well, they might fail to picture other possibilities. A greater pool of older friends can help young people create their own blueprint.
A. You befriend those who live around.
B. They’re all roughly the same age as you.
C. Others might find joy in exposure to new ideas.
D. Brought closer, both see more than one benefit.
E. Younger friends can be a reminder of past selves.
F. Forming these kinds of friendship is particularly hard today.
G. Indeed, intergenerational relationship is never a one-way street.

Thirty years ago, I was a senior high school student. One day after our test papers were____21____, our math teacher asked twelve students who had made exactly the same mistakes to remain. There is nothing really new about ____22____ in exams. Perhaps that was why she didn’t even say a word about it. ____23____, she wrote on the blackboard the words by Thomas Macaulay: the real ____24____ is not measured by what a man does in ____25____, where he’ll be seen, but what he would do if he knew he would never be____26____ out.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most important single ____27____of my life. Now entering my third decade after being____28____to Macaulay’s words, they still seem to me the best ____29____, because they give us a way to measure ourselves rather than others.
____30____ of us will be asked to make great decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are____31____ daily to make a great many personal decisions. Should the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket ____32____ turned over to the policeman Should the ____33____change received at the store be forgotten or____34____ Nobody will know except you.

“I bought it yesterday. Look! How lovely it looks!” said Lisa.
Jenny looked at the cellphone, which looked really lovely. Jenny wished she also could have such a cellphone.
That day, after Jenny came back home, she saw her father sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Jenny approached him and said, “Dad, could I have a cellphone Many of my classmates have their own cellphones now.”
“Of course, you can have one,” said Jenny's father.
“Thank you, Dad,” Jenny said happily. Then she asked, “When shall we go downtown to buy one ”
The father looked up hearing that. Then he said, “Oh, no, dear! I'm not going to buy you a cellphone. If you really want one, you should make money to buy one yourself.”
Jenny immediately became upset But she knew her father was serious. She walked away and went to her own room.
The following day Jenny went to school as usual. Lisa came to her and asked why she was wearing a long face that day. Jenny said, “I asked my dad to buy a cellphone for me, but he said I should work for one myself.” But Lisa didn't seem to be surprised at all, and she said, “Don't get surprised, because that's how I bought my own cellphone.”

Jenny started to look for part-time work on the Internet. Lucky for her, some families in the neighborhood were looking for part-time workers. One old couple needed someone to cut the grass. A young couple needed someone to look after their baby. Jenny called the families and she was offered the jobs.

The Music Educator Award, this year, went to Annie Ray, an orchestra(管弦乐队)director at Annandale High School.She was recognized for her efforts to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities.Ray got to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and bring home a $10,000 prize.
Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play the same instrument as their child.Ray also works with a local charity to give damaged instruments a second life in her classroom.
The orchestra is about much more than just making music.The most important is to give students a chance to develop their cooperation skills, make mistakes and learn the art of refining something.Ray pushes her students to be brave, go outside their comfort zone and realize they have to learn how to make bad sounds before learning how to make good sounds.And they teach her a lot in return.” They changed my educational philosophy.I understand what it truly means to meet a student where they’re at and apply that elsewhere,” she said.
The warm reception on the ceremony was meaningful.Actually, not many people understand what exactly music educators do or how much their work matters.While her administration is supportive, that lack of understanding is a problem facing the profession in general.Another is resources.She says her school “desperately” needs new instruments.She will use some of her prize money to buy more.
Ray also plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate.She knows of several, those particularly interested in music, and aims to offer financial support needed to realize their musical dreams” It is hard but truly satisfying,” Ray said.“And there’s nothing else like it for them.”
4. What can we learn about Ray from the first two paragraphs
A. She hosted the award ceremony. B. She brought music to more people.
C. She gave away instruments to the poor. D. She founded a local charity for children.
5. What do students benefit most from the orchestra

Biologists in the United States are sounding an alarm about a deadly disease that has been attacking a quiet, intelligent animal: the bat. The disease, called white-nose syndrome, is an infection caused by a fungus (真菌) that attack the nose, wings, and other skin areas on the bodies of bats while they are hibernating (冬眠) in large groups in their caves. The disease was first discovered in a New York cave in the winter of 2006, and it is spreading quickly. Infected caves have been discovered in 19 states and in Canada.
Scientists have discovered that the source is a strain of a cold-loving fungus usually found in polar regions. They are not sure how the fungus kills bats. One theory is that the fungus causes discomfort. The bats began to become upset and partially wake up from hibernation. This activity causes them to burn precious stored body fat and die of starvation. Experts estimate that over 5. 5 million bats across nine species have disappeared because of the disease. Wildlife experts fear that if the infection spreads to more bat populations in the Southeast and Midwest, endangered bat species, such as the Indiana bat and Virginia big-eared bat, may be in grave danger of extinction.
Why should Americans care about the loss of these creatures In warm months, bat fly at night, eating up to their body weight in insects. They control the populations of insects that bite, eat crops, destroy forests, and spread disease. Because of this, the United States government is getting involved. It has heard announcements from bat experts and is taking seriously their pleas (请愿) for funding to study the disease. The possibility of what one lawmaker called “an ecological and economic disaster” is very real if the deadly disease spreads further.
8. What causes white-nose syndrome among the bats
A. Ecological pollution. B. A cold-loving fungus.
C The freezing climate. D. The lack of food.
9. What is the main idea of paragraph 2
A. Where the experts discovered the disease. B. Why the bats’ hibernation is disturbed.
C. How the fungus possibly affects bats. D. What contributed to the concern of the experts.
10. What is the main concern about the extinction of the bat in the US
A. The imbalance of the ecosystem. B. The destruction of the forests.
C. The spread of the disease. D. The decrease of the insect population.
11. What is the US government most likely to do in the future
A. To introduce laws to protect bats.
B. To appeal to people to stay away from infected bats.
C. To declare the coming of an ecological disaster
D. To approve funding for bat disease research.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】

A new study involving nearly 50,000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults’ health and longevity(长寿), and whether the ideal number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up.
Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50,000 participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3,500 steps; the second, 5,800; the third, 7,800; and the fourth, 10,900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40—53% lower risk of death, compared to the lowest step group.
More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000—10,000 steps per day.
“So what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases, until it levels off. Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before, which found that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people’s risk of early death. “There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.” Paluch says. “More steps per day are better for your health.”
12. Why did the scientists carry out the new study
A. To know about people’s health condition.
B. To explain the pedometer’s working principles.
C. To determine the best physical activity for people.
D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking.
13. What does the underlined words “leveled off” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Turned higher. B. Became stable. C. Fell sharply. D. Changed rapidly.
14. What does the experiment find
A. The old should walk as much as possible.
B. Young people usually walk more than the old.
C. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups.
D. Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death.
15. What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do
A. To walk more steps. B. To control walking speed.
C. To limit walking distance. D. To track the number of steps.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项新研究对四大洲近5万人进行了分析，确定了能够最大程度改善健康、延长寿命的每日步数，同时调查了不同年龄段的人每日最佳步数是否有所不同。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up.(这项研究代表了一项关于体育活动益处的循证公共卫生信息的开发工作。这个每天一万步经常被重复的说法源于几十年前日本计步器的营销活动，没有科学依据。)”可知，现有的观点缺乏科学依据，本项研究旨在为科学的走路步数提供证据，由此可推知本研究旨在为日常走路锻炼提供科学指导。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线短语后面的“meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity”可知，多余的步数并不会增加额外的好处，由此可推知步数到达一定量之后降低死亡的风险趋于稳定，不再变化。“leveled off”意为“保持水平，保持平稳发展”，与Became stable意思相近。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000—10,000 steps per day.(更具体地说，对于60岁及以上的成年人来说，过早死亡的风险稳定在每天6000—8000步左右，这意味着更多的步数对寿命没有额外的好处，而对于60岁以下的成年人来说大约是每天8000—10000步。)”可推知，年龄不同，最佳效果步数也不一样。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Paluch所说的“There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.(有很多证据表明，多运动一点是有益的，尤其是对那些活动很少的人来说。)”和“More steps per day are better for your health.(每天多走几步对你的健康有益。)”可知，不运动的人，增加走路步数对健康有益，因此可知Paluch建议不运动的人应该增加走路步数。故选A。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you think of your closest friends, who will come to your mind Perhaps your college roommates or the neighbor you played with as a child. Regardless of how you met these people, they most likely have one key thing in common: ____16____ A 2023 study found that, for those aged 21 to 30, over 80 percent in their social circles, were born within five years of them. Moreover, nearly 63 percent of adults have no close friends 15 years older or younger than them.
Spending our time with such a narrow group of people can fuel age segregation and increase our loneliness. These limitations also keep us from other generations’ mindsets and potentially surprising points of connection. ____17____ Of course, the ones that are older might offer a brief look into the coming years.
A program that runs schools out of senior centers has said a lot about it. ____18____ Dawn Carr, a sociology professor, said most older people get much from practical help—with new technology, for instance—their younger friends offered. ____19____ Having fun with someone decades younger definitely takes off their pressure to “act their age”.
____20____ Lila, aged 75, was proud that her life experiences prepared her to give advice to her young friend with depression, for which the young was grateful. Also, older friends offer more examples of what growing up can look like. If someone’s parents are the only older people they know well, they might fail to picture other possibilities. A greater pool of older friends can help young people create their own blueprint.
A. You befriend those who live around.
B They’re all roughly the same age as you.
C. Others might find joy in exposure to new ideas.
D. Brought closer, both see more than one benefit.
E. Younger friends can be a reminder of past selves.
F. Forming these kinds of friendship is particularly hard today.
G. Indeed, intergenerational relationship is never a one-way street.

44. really 45. happiness
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述孔子作为伟大的教育家，也很精通音乐，并且讲到音乐在古代的作用。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：几千年来，孔子为许多中国传统音乐定下了基调。“thousands of years”为表示一段时间，所以前面用介词for搭配，在句中做时间状语，表示“几千年来”。故填for。
【37题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：他被认为是一位伟大的教育家。主语He和think之间是被动关系，且句子表达的是客观事实，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，注意主谓一致。故填is thought。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，他也是一位才华横溢的音乐家，他能够熟练地演奏几种乐器。分析可知，空处为形容词作定语，修饰名词musician，talented意为“有天赋的”，符合句意。故填talented。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：但在大约公元前500年的周朝，音乐在社会稳定方面发挥了重要作用。前文“Perhaps nowadays for people around the world, music is meant mainly for amusement.”说明音乐在今天主要是为了娱乐，后文“music _____5_____(have) an important role in making the society stable”讲述在周朝，音乐在社会稳定方面发挥了重要作用，前后为对比转折关系，所以用转折连词but，句首字母需大写。故填But。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：但在大约公元前500年的周朝，音乐在社会稳定方面发挥了重要作用。“during the time of the Zhou Dynasty about 500 B. C.”表明此处讲述过去的情况，所以用一般过去时。故填had。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：孔子教导人，要以诗为始，以礼为止，以乐为终。分析可知，句子不缺谓语，所以空处为非谓语动词作状语，表示目的，要用动词不定式。故填to educate。
【42题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：音乐知识是高等学问。表示“……的问题”为a matter of，符合句意。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：音乐之所以重要，是因为在中国古代，理想社会主要是由礼仪功能来统治的，在一个人们按礼仪行事的文化中，音乐被用来帮助统治他们。分析可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词为表示地点的名词culture，引导词在从句中做地点状语，所以用where引导。故填where。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：因此，音乐并不是真正的娱乐，而是统治者实现政治和社会目标的一种手段。分析可知，空处在句中作状语，修饰句子，所以用副词really，意为“真正地”。故填really。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：音乐最终是实现社会幸福的一种手段。形容词social后面修饰名词，happiness意为“幸福”，是不可数名词，符合句意。故填happiness。

As I delved deeper into its pages, I felt a spark of enthusiasm ignite within me. Reading has not only broadened my horizons but also taught me the value of empathy and understanding.
