35. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The main function of cultural memory ... is to use knowledge of past experiences to avoid making the same mistakes again and again.”和“it enables cultures to adapt to new circumstances by keeping traces (痕迹) of what worked in the past”可知，文化记忆的主要作用是使人们能够利用从过去的经历中总结的经验或智慧指引现在。故选A。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。对于我们中的大多数人而言，摆脱久坐的生活方式是一件难事，而运动对于摆脱久坐有很多益处。本文介绍了如何使运动变得不那么痛苦且更有乐趣的方法。
36. G 空前讲：尽管有良好的意愿，但对我们中的大多数人而言，摆脱久坐的生活方式仍是一件难事。空后讲：最大的障碍是心理上的。空处内容很可能与心理障碍形成对比，且涉及阻碍我们运动的事情。G项提到了现实生活中的一个实际问题——繁忙的日程，这能导致锻炼变得有挑战性，且与心理障碍形成对比。故选G。
37. D 空前讲：尽管你知道锻炼的多种方法和重要原因，但这些无法帮助你开始并坚持锻炼计划。空后讲：需要遵循这些步骤以使锻炼变得不那么痛苦且更有乐趣。由此可知，空处内容应是关于使锻炼变成习惯。D项“If you really want to make exercise a habit”提供了一个前提条件，表示如果你真的想要使锻炼成为一种习惯，这与空后提到的需要遵循的步骤紧密相关。故选D。
38. E 空前讲：摒弃极端的态度，你不用长时间待在健身房或强迫自己做自己讨厌的单调或痛苦的活动来体验锻炼对身体和情感的益处。因此空处需要填入的内容应与对待运动的正确态度有关。E项“Remember a little exercise is better than nothing”与空前提到的极端的态度形成对比，强调即使是少量的锻炼也好过完全不锻炼，且E项中的“a little exercise”与空后的“tiny amounts of physical activity”呼应。故选E。
39. A 空前讲“如果你错过了一次锻炼，不要责怪自己”，这暗示空处填入的内容应与对待错过锻炼的态度有关，尤其是在没有按时每天锻炼时如何保持积极的心态。A项中的“Let it go”与前文的态度一致，强调采取一种轻松态度——随它去吧。A项中的“be patient”呼应后文中的“at the end of the day, you will find an exercise routine that works for you”。故选A。
40. C 根据最后三段的结构特点可知，空处是本段的主旨句。空后讲“你不是一夜之间变得不健康的，你也不可能立刻改变你的身体”，接着指出“要求太多和太快只会导致不满”。由此可推知，本段主要讲述的是要有合理的锻炼期望。故选C。
第三部分 语言运用

第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文：
As a high school student, I think this summer vacation will be special. I plan to focus on personal growth and exploration.
I have decided to work part-time at a bookstore. This experience will not only help me develop a sense of responsibility but allow me to save up for a language course. Being surrounded by books will be an added bonus because I’m a book lover. Additionally, I’m determined to learn Arabic. Understanding another language opens doors to different cultures and perspectives, which I find incredibly valuable.
I’m sure this combination of work and learning will make for a both productive and meaningful summer.
第二节
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Finally came the day when the winners were announced. The head teacher started with the third place winner followed by a boy in the second place. Then the students waited with bated breath for the first place winner to be announced. “First place goes to — Amy!” said the head teacher. After a moment of silence, the crowd clapped. Amy stepped onto the stage to accept the prize, shocked and delighted. When Amy explained her intention of spreading the idea of unity and hope, everyone was moved. After that, things changed.
Paragraph 2:
The children who had laughed at Amy started to see her in a new way. They got to know the real Amy — her kindness and her dreams. She wasn’t alone anymore. During breaks, kids crowded around her to see her create pictures, which made her classmates eager to try drawing with their own thoughts, too. Amy’s art became well-known outside of school as well. A local gallery asked to exhibit her best painting. As Amy made more art, she became more confident. Her art changed her life and how others saw art and the world.

W: Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to tell you about a movie I watched recently. I didn’t go to the cinema. Instead I watched it in my own bedroom because the movie is on Disney+ as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The movie is about an unlikely but strong friendship. It is set in a beautiful town near the sea on the Italian Riviera. In the town there lives one young boy called Luka. Every summer, he loves going outdoors for adventure. One day, he makes friends with a boy he has never seen before. Luka shares his adventures with his new best friend. However, all the fun is threatened by a secret. His new friend isn’t a real person. He is a sea creature from another world just below the water’s surface. If you want to find out what happens to the two friends in the end, you can watch it sometime. That’s all about the movie.

In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward.
One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day!
As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can’t win at everything in life all the time.
On and of the field, I am more iron-willed, disciplined (遵守纪律的) and respectful, and a better leader. I have had so many awesome experiences through sports, which have taught me much and prepared me for the future. The memories of all the trips and diverse experiences I have had will be with me for a lifetime.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph
A. He often switched sports. B. He was a gifted child in sports.
C. He had a busy childhood. D. He was fond of sports from childhood.
25. How did the author feel during the semi-final at the World Series
A. Stressed and tired. B. Proud and confident.
C. Unbearable and down. D. Surprised and energetic.
26. What was tough for the author according to paragraph 3
A. Leading his team to face failure. B. Giving a speech before the team.
C. Improving his leadership qualities. D. Overcoming his own nervousness.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Interesting Life of Sports B. Life Lessons from Sports
C. Deep Affection for Sports D. Special Moments in Sports
C
Childhood can bring a lot of awe (敬畏). Research also suggests that awe is important in promoting well-being beyond our individual lives — it can encourage our children to care for others.
A recent study by researchers Eftychia Stamkou, Keltner, and their colleagues invited children aged 8-13 to take part in an experiment. In the awe group, children were offered a short part of a movie that features a child transformed into a seal (海豹) and exploring the sea while in the joy group, children were offered a short part of another movie where friends were celebrating.
Researchers measured children’s kindness toward poor families by inviting children to support their food drive by spending as much time as they wanted in counting donated things, to make sure the poor got access to the donated food as quickly as possible. They also invited children to donate the reward they earned from taking part in the research (e.g., a snack or a museum ticket) to a poor family.
The results Children who watched the awe-inspiring video spent more time counting food donations and donated their rewards to poor families more often compared to the children who watched the joy-inspiring video.

Awesome architecture, like symphony halls, museums, and even features like staircases, can be a way to experience awe with our children.

People may typically think of memory as the recollection of the past. Memory enables people to learn from past experiences and apply that knowledge in present circumstances. It is a vital part of our identity. So is culture, the way of life specific to a group of people.
Cultural memory is the constructed understanding of the past that is passed from one generation to the next through text, oral traditions, monuments and other symbols. Cultural memory is often amassed in objects, such as museums or historical monuments. To understand culture, humans access a mass of cultural symbols, such as books. Artifacts (历史文物) of the past provide insights into where we came from. Libraries and the Internet keep a seemingly boundless amount of data on what it means to be part of a culture. Cultural memory is the longest-lasting form of memory.
Like all forms of memory, cultural memory has important functions. For example, it makes the experiences a nation owns clear. It provides us with an understanding of the past and the values of the group to which we belong. Besides, it creates a form of shared identity and a means for communicating this identity to new members. The most powerful forms of cultural memory may involve memories of past disastrous experiences undergone by groups of victims. For example, in Russia, their role in World War Ⅱ — in which tens of millions of Russians were killed — is still an important part of modern Russian identity. Because all groups have cultural memory, it can bring about a spirit of resistance or survival among threatened groups.
The main function of cultural memory is not to recall the past, whether it is good or bad. Rather, it is to use knowledge of past experiences to avoid making the same mistakes again and again. Aleida Assmann, a professor who has worked on memory theory since the 1960s, calls this “remembering forward”. Cultural memory enables people to adapt to their culture; it enables cultures to adapt to new circumstances by keeping traces (痕迹) of what worked in the past.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. Reporting a discovery of cultural memory.
B. Leading to the concept of cultural memory.
C. Introducing the importance of memory in identity.
D. Making a connection between memory and culture.
33. Which can replace the underlined word “amassed” in paragraph 2
A. Stored. B. Overlooked. C. Evaluated. D. Created.
34. Russia is mentioned in paragraph 3 to indicate ________.
A. the features of cultural memory B. the formation of cultural memory
C. the role of big events in Russian identity D. the impact of cultural memory on identity
35. What is cultural memory mainly expected to do
A. Pass previous wisdom down. B. Keep traces of history.
C. Get people to know about the past. D. Remind people of their identity.

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。
Amy loved to draw, and her hands, always dirty from the pencil lead, moved on the paper, showing the pictures in her mind. She would sit for hours, lost in art. Trees on her pages seemed to swing in an unseen wind, and the faces she drew wore lifelike expressions. But Amy didn’t look like the art she made. Her clothes were old and had many patches (补丁) that her mother made with care. Amy’s family did not have much money, but they loved each other very much. Her mother worked hard at many jobs to take care of them after Amy’s father got sick and died.
Amy had her good times and hard times in school. She loved different corners of the school which were sources of her inspiration and expected the art lesson. Yet other kids’ laughing at her dress made her sad. She wanted to change the situation, but didn’t know how to go about it. Despite this, she would quietly help someone with a hard math problem or pick up garbage on her way home. She always found comfort in her drawing. In the middle of the term, an art contest on the theme of “My Dream” was to be held, which would select the top three winners, and the head teacher would award them prizes. This news thrilled the children, Amy in particular. They enthusiastically registered for the contest and, after thoughtful consideration, finished their own art pieces. The contest organizers gathered all submissions one week later and set up an exhibit showcasing every participant’s work in the school gym.
The school gym was filled with viewers as the walls displayed the efforts of the young artists. There were paintings of colorful landscapes where the sun burst through thick clouds. Some students had created portraits (肖像) of their heroes. In this sea of creativity, one painting stood out. In the painting, a community garden was drawn, a place where people from all walks of life were planting seeds together. The heartfelt work drew the viewers into a world where every detail had meaning. The exhibition would last a week and all the students and teachers could vote their favorite work.
