二、阅读理解
Nowadays many people go camping for fun. Camping can be enjoyed in the backyard or deep in the wilderness. Whether camping for one night or several weeks, being prepared is the key.
Endless fun
Once the tent, your base, is put up and the fire area is prepared, there is lots to do. Fishing and hiking are just some of the fun activities. At night, campers often sit by the fire, talking and telling stories. If the weather turns rainy, campers usually wait it out in their tents, reading, drawing or playing games.
Required equipment
Shelter, bedclothes, food and water are necessary. Deciding what else you will need depends on the kind of camping trip you are planning and the length of your trip. Pack light if you are going to carry equipment any distance. Clothing should be prepared enough to protect against weather and insects. A hat, a whistle, bug repellent (驱虫剂) and a rope may come in handy. Don’t forget a flashlight, a compass, cookers and a first-aid box.
Various tents
There are many types and styles of tents. You should choose your tent based on your needs. If you are camping alone in the backyard, a simple lean-to or small tent may do. If you are camping with your family, a larger cabin tent or camping trailer may be best.
Proper locations
Where you decide to set up your campsite is very important. Look for a high and dry location if it rains. The ground should be level because hills and rocks are uncomfortable to sleep on. A sunny exposure (接触) in the morning with shade in the afternoon is ideal.
Green camping
Wherever you camp, it is important to respect the environment around you. If you are in a park, make sure to follow its rules. Put your garbage and waste in rubbish bins. If you are in the wilderness, keep noise to a minimum and do not disturb the plants or animals.

As one grows old, keeping an active mind is important. Recently, a study out of the UK found that playing music (rather than just listening to it) helped older adults stay active across different kinds of mental (智力的) skills.
The researchers-collected information from 1, 100 people aged 40 and above. The average age was 68. The influences of playing an instrument, singing, reading a musical score (乐谱) and listening to music played by others were studied.
Those who played instruments showed the greatest gains (收获) from the activity, especially for piano and for those who played in old age. This may be because this action requires making your hands, mouth, eyes, and brain work well together while playing. Singing was also good for your brain, perhaps because of its social nature.
Because we have such exact brain tests for this study, we are able to look at every way how the brain works, such as short-term memory, long-term memory, and problem-solving. And we can also study how music influences that,” said Anne Corbett, one of the researchers of the study. “Our brain is a muscle (肌肉) like anything else and it needs to be exercised, and learning to read music is a bit like learning a new language. It’s challenging.”
The study also pointed out the value of musical education. It is worth picking up even later in life, although music alone-cannot help us avoid dementia (痴呆症). The message is around how people can reduce their risk of dementia, and really thinking about using music as a way of doing that. This study does suggest that it could be part of a much wider lifestyle to improve brain health as you grow old.
4．What did the study out of the UK find
A．Playing music saves the old from dementia.
B．Playing music keeps older adults’ brains active.
C．Music benefits people aged 40 and above more.
D．Music helps older adults learn different skills.
5．Which of the following is the best for old people
A．Listening to classical music. B．Singing soft songs in public.
C．Playing a musical instrument. D．Enjoying the music of the piano.
6．What can we learn from Anne Corbett’s words
A．The study includes the effect of music on people’s memory.
B．Music can help people pass the test more easily.
C．Musical education must begin as early as possible.
D．More other studies need to be done in the future.
7．Why did Anne Corbett mention a new language
A．To encourage us to learn a new language.
B．To show how music can help us learn a language.
C．To tell us the connection of language and music.
D．To explain the difficulty of learning to read music.

I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people. It would be hard to find a person who is neutral (中立的), or simply doesn’t care one way or the other. What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.
Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere. Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.
The poison argument (毒性的争论) is a strong one. Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death. However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.
And what do we do with the people who really like snakes They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully. Why The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.
Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life. They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do. If you are lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime. That would be fine with most of us.
8．Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes
A．They welcome snakes as their best friends.
B．They would rather see a mouse than a snake.
C．They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.
D．They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.
9．What can we learn about the writer from the last paragraph
A．The writer dislikes snakes. B．The writer has the best luck.
C．The writer loves snakes. D．The writer prefers to be left alone.
10．Why are people who really like snakes open-minded
A．Because they are able to put aside differences.
B．Because they think all the snakes are poisonous.
C．Because they are able to deal with poisonous snakes.
D．Because they take part in the poison argument.

What do you do with your old clothes You might throw them away, sell them or give them to people in need. No matter which way you choose, it’s always you who have to decide what to do. However, California decided to push clothing companies to take care of the old clothes. As a result, the state passed the first US clothing recycling law (法律) on Sept 28, 2024.
This new law is expected to make less pollution. In 2021, about 1.2 million tons of old clothes were thrown away in California. While 95% are reusable or recyclable, only 15% are actually recycled.
The law said that companies making clothes have to set up a program to reuse, repair and recycle their goods. What’s more, they would have to pay for the costs of the whole program.
More than 150 groups, including environmental groups and some stores like Ikea, agree with the law. It would do good to the environment. It could also create over 1,000 new green jobs, reported The Guardian.
As a main polluter, the fashion industry (时尚产业) causes nearly 10% of the world’s carbon emissions (碳排放), according to the United Nations. Other countries like France and the Netherlands also have laws on clothing recycling programs. In France, for example, there are 47,000 recycling centers.

A．The problem of clothes waste is serious. B．Companies are worried about the law.
C．The new law has had a great influence. D．Too many clothes are produced each year.
15．What do the companies have to do according to the law
A．Reduce the number of products. B．Sell their goods at a low price.
C．Set up a new environmental group. D．Pay for the clothing recycling program.
16．What’s the best title for the text
A．How to Reuse and Recycle Old Clothes at Home
B．The Rise of Green Jobs Because of the New Law
C．Fashion Industry Becomes Important in California
D．New Law Pushes Companies to Reduce Fashion Waste

Shanya Gill is a 13-year-old girl from California, US. In April, 2024, she got a special invitation to visit the US Fire Administration’s Office with her father. There, they had a talk about fire control. They were invited because Gill made a new fire detector (探测器), which made her win the top prize in an international competition the year before they talk.
It all started with a big fire. When Gill was in Grade 6, the restaurant behind her house burned down. No one died, but the accident made Gill and her family feel afraid. “The restaurant had smoke detectors, but still, the restaurant could not be saved,” Gill said. “I came to realize that smoke detectors simply are not good enough and decided to make a better fire detector.”
She studied programming and made a system that can detect warm things with 98% accuracy (准确率). It detects hot ones with 97% accuracy and sends warnings to people. This is better than traditional smoke detectors which only have about 82% to 94% accuracy. Gill now hopes to share her invention with the world. She doesn’t want to patent (申请专利) it because she hopes everyone can use it. She wants it to save as many lives and buildings as possible. In fact, Gill is creating a website to share the system with the public.
“She’s offering a new solution to the world, which is an improved solution over what’s out there today,” said Mike Dugas, the director of research and development at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
17．When did Gill win the top prize
A．In 2011. B．In 2017. C．In 2023. D．In 2024.
18．What made Shanya Gill decide to start her invention
A．A broken fire detector. B．A big fire in a restaurant.
C．An accident in her house. D．A talk about fire control.
19．What is special about Gill’s new invention compared to traditional ones
A．It warns people in a special way. B．Its system is connected to a website.
C．It has a system with higher accuracy. D．It is created to detect smoke in the air.
20．Which of the following best describes Gill
A．Creative and helpful. B．Calm and friendly.
C．Brave and warm-hearted. D．Honest and hard-working.
【答案】17．C 18．B 19．C 20．A

18．细节理解题。根据第二段“When Gill was in Grade 6, the restaurant behind her house burned down... I came to realize that smoke detectors simply are not good enough and decided to make a better fire detector.”可知，她家后面餐厅的一场大火让Gill意识到现有烟雾探测器不足，从而决定发明更好的火灾探测器。故选B。

Nature has many ways of solving problems. Humans learn a lot from animals and plants. There is a science that studies how we copy ideas from nature to create useful products. This science is called biomimetics (仿生学).
Some animals, like the sugar glider, have wing-like structures (结构). They spread out their arms and legs to slow down and land easily. The idea for wing-suits, special clothes that let people experience flying, comes from the sugar glider.
Other animals, like the armadillo, have structures to protect themselves. The armadillo has a hard shell (壳) that protects it from dangerous animals. When it feels dangerous, it rolls (卷曲) into a ball for safety. Once the danger is gone, it unrolls. This behavior gave the idea for the design of a backpack with a hard surface to protect the things inside.
Plants have also helped create amazing inventions. One famous example is Velcro (魔术贴). Velcro has two pieces of cloth that stick together when pressed. The idea for Velcro came from the burrs (带刺的小果实) of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to clothes or hair, helping them spread to other places.

However, he took part in a special performance. For the first time, he sang and even held hands with his singing partner Lottee Brown. He found a way to express himself through songs.
Now his room is filled with hundreds of CDs and he uses songs to communicate and express his feelings. He knows all the words in all of the songs. His parents were told that he was always happy with music and that maybe they could try to see if music could help him.
Kyle’s mom, Caroline Coleman, was very excited. She said music allowed her son to connect with another person for the first time. “He doesn’t normally let people touch him. When Lottee first held his hand, he jumped a bit, and then he seemed to think and said, ‘It’s okay.’”

Nowadays many people go camping for fun. Camping can be enjoyed in the backyard or deep in the wilderness. Whether camping for one night or several weeks, being prepared is the key.
Endless fun
Once the tent, your base, is put up and the fire area is prepared, there is lots to do. Fishing and hiking are just some of the fun activities. At night, campers often sit by the fire, talking and telling stories. If the weather turns rainy, campers usually wait it out in their tents, reading, drawing or playing games.
Required equipment
Shelter, bedclothes, food and water are necessary. Deciding what else you will need depends on the kind of camping trip you are planning and the length of your trip. Pack light if you are going to carry equipment any distance. Clothing should be prepared enough to protect against weather and insects. A hat, a whistle, bug repellent (驱虫剂) and a rope may come in handy. Don’t forget a flashlight, a compass, cookers and a first-aid box.
Various tents
There are many types and styles of tents. You should choose your tent based on your needs. If you are camping alone in the backyard, a simple lean-to or small tent may do. If you are camping with your family, a larger cabin tent or camping trailer may be best.
Proper locations
Where you decide to set up your campsite is very important. Look for a high and dry location if it rains. The ground should be level because hills and rocks are uncomfortable to sleep on. A sunny exposure (接触) in the morning with shade in the afternoon is ideal.
Green camping
Wherever you camp, it is important to respect the environment around you. If you are in a park, make sure to follow its rules. Put your garbage and waste in rubbish bins. If you are in the wilderness, keep noise to a minimum and do not disturb the plants or animals.
1．According to the passage, which item is essential for camping
A．A skirt. B．A blanket. C．A hat. D．A rope.
2．If the camper faces a strong wind, which kind of tent might be the best choice
A．Lean-to tents. B．Pup tents. C．Alpine tents. D．Dome tents.
3．The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A．call on more people to take up camping
B．introduce the advantages and disadvantages of camping
C．offer some suggestions on how to prepare for camping
D．remind people to follow the rules of camping
As one grows old, keeping an active mind is important. Recently, a study out of the UK found that playing music (rather than just listening to it) helped older adults stay active across different kinds of mental (智力的) skills.
The researchers-collected information from 1, 100 people aged 40 and above. The average age was 68. The influences of playing an instrument, singing, reading a musical score (乐谱) and listening to music played by others were studied.
Those who played instruments showed the greatest gains (收获) from the activity, especially for piano and for those who played in old age. This may be because this action requires making your hands, mouth, eyes, and brain work well together while playing. Singing was also good for your brain, perhaps because of its social nature.
Because we have such exact brain tests for this study, we are able to look at every way how the brain works, such as short-term memory, long-term memory, and problem-solving. And we can also study how music influences that,” said Anne Corbett, one of the researchers of the study. “Our brain is a muscle (肌肉) like anything else and it needs to be exercised, and learning to read music is a bit like learning a new language. It’s challenging.”
The study also pointed out the value of musical education. It is worth picking up even later in life, although music alone-cannot help us avoid dementia (痴呆症). The message is around how people can reduce their risk of dementia, and really thinking about using music as a way of doing that. This study does suggest that it could be part of a much wider lifestyle to improve brain health as you grow old.
4．What did the study out of the UK find
A．Playing music saves the old from dementia.
B．Playing music keeps older adults’ brains active.
C．Music benefits people aged 40 and above more.
D．Music helps older adults learn different skills.
5．Which of the following is the best for old people
A．Listening to classical music. B．Singing soft songs in public.
C．Playing a musical instrument. D．Enjoying the music of the piano.
6．What can we learn from Anne Corbett’s words
A．The study includes the effect of music on people’s memory.
B．Music can help people pass the test more easily.
C．Musical education must begin as early as possible.
D．More other studies need to be done in the future.
7．Why did Anne Corbett mention a new language
A．To encourage us to learn a new language.
B．To show how music can help us learn a language.
C．To tell us the connection of language and music.
D．To explain the difficulty of learning to read music.
I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people. It would be hard to find a person who is neutral (中立的), or simply doesn’t care one way or the other. What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.
Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere. Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.
The poison argument (毒性的争论) is a strong one. Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death. However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.
And what do we do with the people who really like snakes They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully. Why The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.
Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life. They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do. If you are lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime. That would be fine with most of us.
8．Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes
A．They welcome snakes as their best friends.
B．They would rather see a mouse than a snake.
C．They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.
D．They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.
9．What can we learn about the writer from the last paragraph
A．The writer dislikes snakes. B．The writer has the best luck.
C．The writer loves snakes. D．The writer prefers to be left alone.
10．Why are people who really like snakes open-minded
A．Because they are able to put aside differences.
B．Because they think all the snakes are poisonous.
C．Because they are able to deal with poisonous snakes.
D．Because they take part in the poison argument.
One day, Miss Ellis gave her students a new task on happiness. Her students would be “happiness collectors”. They had to see what would happen when they tried to bring happiness to those around them. Each student did a good job, but what Carla did left everyone surprised.
Carla turned up carrying a big bag. “In this bag, I’ve got all the happiness I’ve collected so far,” she said, smiling. Everyone desired to see what was in the bag, but Carla would keep it a surprise. Instead of showing them, she took out a small box and handed it to Miss Ellis. Carla also had an instant camera (即时成像相机) ready. “Open it, Miss Ellis, please.” Carla said.
Miss Ellis slowly opened the box and looked inside. A big smile appeared on her face, and at that moment, Carla took a photo. The new photo came out of the camera at once, and she offered it to Miss Ellis. Carla explained, “It’s a big pile (堆) of smiles!” She turned the box upside down and hundreds of photos fell out, each having a different beautiful smile.

What do you do with your old clothes You might throw them away, sell them or give them to people in need. No matter which way you choose, it’s always you who have to decide what to do. However, California decided to push clothing companies to take care of the old clothes. As a result, the state passed the first US clothing recycling law (法律) on Sept 28, 2024.
This new law is expected to make less pollution. In 2021, about 1.2 million tons of old clothes were thrown away in California. While 95% are reusable or recyclable, only 15% are actually recycled.
The law said that companies making clothes have to set up a program to reuse, repair and recycle their goods. What’s more, they would have to pay for the costs of the whole program.
More than 150 groups, including environmental groups and some stores like Ikea, agree with the law. It would do good to the environment. It could also create over 1,000 new green jobs, reported The Guardian.
As a main polluter, the fashion industry (时尚产业) causes nearly 10% of the world’s carbon emissions (碳排放), according to the United Nations. Other countries like France and the Netherlands also have laws on clothing recycling programs. In France, for example, there are 47,000 recycling centers.
14．What does the numbers in Paragraph 2 show
A．The problem of clothes waste is serious. B．Companies are worried about the law.
C．The new law has had a great influence. D．Too many clothes are produced each year.
15．What do the companies have to do according to the law

C．Set up a new environmental group. D．Pay for the clothing recycling program.
16．What’s the best title for the text
A．How to Reuse and Recycle Old Clothes at Home
B．The Rise of Green Jobs Because of the New Law

Shanya Gill is a 13-year-old girl from California, US. In April, 2024, she got a special invitation to visit the US Fire Administration’s Office with her father. There, they had a talk about fire control. They were invited because Gill made a new fire detector (探测器), which made her win the top prize in an international competition the year before they talk.
It all started with a big fire. When Gill was in Grade 6, the restaurant behind her house burned down. No one died, but the accident made Gill and her family feel afraid. “The restaurant had smoke detectors, but still, the restaurant could not be saved,” Gill said. “I came to realize that smoke detectors simply are not good enough and decided to make a better fire detector.”
She studied programming and made a system that can detect warm things with 98% accuracy (准确率). It detects hot ones with 97% accuracy and sends warnings to people. This is better than traditional smoke detectors which only have about 82% to 94% accuracy. Gill now hopes to share her invention with the world. She doesn’t want to patent (申请专利) it because she hopes everyone can use it. She wants it to save as many lives and buildings as possible. In fact, Gill is creating a website to share the system with the public.
“She’s offering a new solution to the world, which is an improved solution over what’s out there today,” said Mike Dugas, the director of research and development at Thermo Fisher Scientific.

On Chinese New Year Eve in 2024, 3000 drones (无人机) lit up the sky at Chaotianmen, which was watched by 100,000 people and had 300 million views online. Drones, are becoming very popular recently, because they can complete difficult and special tasks timely.
After an earthquake, they can fly over roads that are blocked and find people or see if there are dangers. Reaching the mountain village by road may take several hours, but drones provide information in just a few minutes.
Drones are also good for protecting wildlife. For example, they can find where poachers are hiding and if they are carrying guns. At night, drones with infrared (红外线的) cameras can easily find them in the dark.
At a sports event, drones are used to give a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing.
In a word, drones have been widely used in different situations. Drones are a big part of what we call the “low-altitude economy (低空经济).” They are less expensive and less dangerous than planes. Many companies in China, are making drones, and there are more than 2 million registered (注册).

Nature has many ways of solving problems. Humans learn a lot from animals and plants. There is a science that studies how we copy ideas from nature to create useful products. This science is called biomimetics (仿生学).
Some animals, like the sugar glider, have wing-like structures (结构). They spread out their arms and legs to slow down and land easily. The idea for wing-suits, special clothes that let people experience flying, comes from the sugar glider.
Other animals, like the armadillo, have structures to protect themselves. The armadillo has a hard shell (壳) that protects it from dangerous animals. When it feels dangerous, it rolls (卷曲) into a ball for safety. Once the danger is gone, it unrolls. This behavior gave the idea for the design of a backpack with a hard surface to protect the things inside.
Plants have also helped create amazing inventions. One famous example is Velcro (魔术贴). Velcro has two pieces of cloth that stick together when pressed. The idea for Velcro came from the burrs (带刺的小果实) of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to clothes or hair, helping them spread to other places.
Biomimetics is used in many ways in our daily life. What other problems will nature help us solve in the future Let’s wait and see!

Are you afraid of getting old Do you think age stops people from being powerful
DonnaJean Wilde, a 59-year-old grandmother from Alberta, Canada, has shown that age doesn’t stop you from being amazing. She set two world records: the most push-ups (俯卧撑) by a woman in one hour, with 1,575, and the longest plank (平板支撑) time for a woman, at 4 hours, 30 minutes and 11 seconds.
Wilde started doing 500 push-ups every day while practising planks. She loved push-ups and decided to challenge herself. She practised outside near her home in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. She said that nature’s quiet power gave her inspiration (鼓舞).
When she broke the push-up record, she had 17 minutes left. Her 11 grandchildren cheered her on, counted her sets, “My grandma is officially amazing! Even though she hurt her shoulder, she kept going. She believes that staying active and having health goals are the key to aging ‘gracefully (优雅地) and powerfully’.”
DonnaJean Wilde is a great example that age is just a number and we can do great things no matter how old we are.

At a young age, Kyle Coleman developed autism (自闭症). He used to go to the hospital but it didn’t really work. The autism was so serious that he could only speak several words. He couldn’t have any physical contact (接触) with others.
However, he took part in a special performance. For the first time, he sang and even held hands with his singing partner Lottee Brown. He found a way to express himself through songs.
Now his room is filled with hundreds of CDs and he uses songs to communicate and express his feelings. He knows all the words in all of the songs. His parents were told that he was always happy with music and that maybe they could try to see if music could help him.
Kyle’s mom, Caroline Coleman, was very excited. She said music allowed her son to connect with another person for the first time. “He doesn’t normally let people touch him. When Lottee first held his hand, he jumped a bit, and then he seemed to think and said, ‘It’s okay.’”

How many fathers usually come to the parent-teacher meetings of your class Have you ever thought of a “dads only” parent-teacher meeting
On August 24, a school in Hangzhou had a special meeting to which only dads were invited. The meeting hoped to “encourage dads to actively take part in family education”, reported Guangming Daily.
In the last few years, people have been talking about the fact that fathers are missing from family education. Most moms in China help their kids with homework, according to All-China Women’s Federation (ACWF) and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
Why do dads miss the school meetings and even family education Some fathers say that they are too busy with work to take time off or they think the moms are better at communicating with teachers. Also, some hold a traditional point that dads just make the money while going to school meetings feels like more of a mom’s job.
However, dads and moms both play important parts in their children’s education. When dads spend more time with their kids, the kids can do better in language and math, feel more confident and even make more friends. “Dads are also important in shaping young kids’ personalities (性格),” said Luo Xuepeng from Guangdong, a father of a 9-year-old boy. “A rational (理性的) and strong dad can help kids have good habits and become more lively,” he added.
