On November 13, 2024, the Japanese poet Shuntaro Tanikawa passed away at the age of 92. Born in December 1931, Shuntaro Tanikawa was different from other poets among the modern Japanese poets who became well-known after World War II. He was called the leading figure of modern Japanese poetry and his works also had a very high reputation in the Chinese poetry world. His father, Tetsuzō Tanikawa, was a famous modern Japanese philosopher and literary theorist.
In Japan, he was known as the “Poet of the Universe”, the “People’s Poet”, and the “Textbook Poet”. One of his collections of poems had been republished more than fifty times and sold over 800,000 copies. The yearly money he got from the lyrics and school songs he wrote was more than $800,000. He made a lot of money from his poems, moved countless readers, and brought a lot of joy to children with his nursery rhymes. However, in the early days of his career, he was ignored by the poetry circle, because he didn’t want to be like those self-centered poets who shut themselves in a small circle. Instead, he liked to write for ordinary people and never cared that his works were published in those “useless” commercial magazines that so-called refined poets looked down upon.
In 2013, Southern People Weekly interviewed Shuntaro Tanikawa. When they talked about the power of poetry, he said, “The influence of poetry on society is very small. Even though it’s small, this power should still be kept. Just like electrons, we can’t see the tiny electrons with our eyes, but they will have an effect on our surroundings. Maybe poetry is like that… Right now, the power of poetry can’t be compared with the power of the economy, politics, and the military. But in the long history, in another 100 years or 500 years, maybe the power of poetry will be much greater than theirs.”
4. What can we learn about Shuntaro Tanikawa from paragraph 2
A. Tanikawa’s early failures. B. How he became wealthy.
C. His unique artistic choices. D. The history of Japanese poetry.
5. What can be inferred about Tanikawa’s early works
A. They were rejected by mainstream poets.
B. They were immediately popular.
C. They were written only in Chinese.
D. They focused on military themes.
6. What does the underlined word “refined” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Inexperienced. B. Superior. C. Odd. D. Selfless.
7. What does Tanikawa’s comparison of poetry to electrons suggest
A. Poetry belongs in science labs. B. Modern poets should study physics.
C. Electronic books will replace poetry. D. Small things can create big impacts.
C
The main difference between Western and East Asian city streets is that Western streets focus on how they look, while East Asian streets care more about what goes on in them. You can see this difference clearly. Western city streets might look clean and organized, but East Asian streets might seem messy at first. But it’s not really a mess. It’s a kind of hidden order that thinks about everything together. This way of looking at things includes all parts of daily life.
Streets are naturally filled with people’s lives. When no one tries to control them, people’s everyday activities just happen on their own. But if someone stops this natural way of life, it’s very hard to bring it back. Fixing or changing the street means getting in the way. Once outside people start changing how life happens on the street, that natural, easy feeling is gone.
When people try to improve a lively street, it often loses its energy, even if they want to make life better there. The problem is that these improvements usually only consider one part of life, like business. Just like traffic, business is only one piece of the whole picture of life. Even though different jobs and shops are separate, life itself is still one big thing. What makes a street lively is that things happen naturally, and this brings all kinds of activities. Even on a shopping street, you can see people doing things that aren’t just about buying and selling. When people change the street just to help businesses, they break up the normal flow of life. It’s like trying to stop life for a while. When water hits a block, it goes another way. Life is similar, but there’s a difference: when the block is gone, water can flow back, but life can’t. Life is closely connected to the place where it happens. When the place changes, life has to change too, and it usually can’t go back to how it was before.
8. Which of the following is a characteristic of Western streets
A. Business-focused. B. Life-mixed.
C. Hidden-structured. D. Visually-ordered.
9. Why does changing streets “get in the way”
A. It brings extremely high costs. B. It destroys the natural order of life.
C. It harms businesses activities. D. It creates environmental ugliness.
10. How does street life differ from water flow
A. It avoids unnecessary barriers. B. It fails to bounce back.
C. It needs strict control. D. It flows in a straight line.
11 What sustains true street energy
A Strict rules. B. Business focus.
C Unforced diversity. D. Visual neatness.
D
Microplastics — plastic particles (微粒) smaller than 5 mm — are spreading rapidly in the environment due to rising global plastic use. By 2023, over 300 million tons of plastic have been produced annually, with 2.5 million tons floating in oceans, a tenfold increase since 2005.
A study in Nature Medicine showed alarming findings: microplastics and nanoplastics build up more in the human brain than in the liver or kidneys (肾脏). Researchers studied organs from 91 dead individuals (1997 — 2022) and found plastics in all brain samples. The highest concentration reached 0.48% of brain tissue (≈2 grams, similar to a plastic spoon’s weight), with recent deaths showing a sharp rise. Microplastics’ fat loving nature allows them to stick to the brain’s fatty tissues (60% of its composition).
Particularly, Alzheimer’s patients had the highest plastic levels. Scientists come up with two theories: plastics may cause dementia, or diseased brains lose the ability to remove waste. Duke University neuroscientist Andrew West explains that our brains have a natural cleaning system using fluid that works during sleep. But too many plastics can damage this system.
Nanoplastics enter the body through bottled water, food packaging, seafood, airborne particles, and heated plastic containers. Global plastic waste, which could wrap the Earth in 2016, has since grown by 50%. As plastics break down, they form particles entering organs.
The study uncovered uncertainties: brains contained polyethylene (PE) (聚乙烯) (from milk bottles) but almost no PET (聚酯) plastic (common in water bottles), despite PET’s importance in blood. This puzzles scientists, highlighting gaps in understanding plastic behavior in the body. US federal funding cuts further hold back research, though students increasingly pursue this field to address the crisis.
The microplastics’ link to Alzheimer’s remains unproven. Scientists urge calm but stress lifestyle changes. They suggest three things: avoid heating food in plastic, use glass containers, and reduce packaged foods.
12. How are microplastics described in terms of size
A. More than 5 millimeters. B. Less than 5 millimeters.
C. More than 1 millimeter. D. Less than 1,000 nanometers.
13. Why do microplastics build up easily in the brain
A. Brain tissue has high water content.
B. Microplastics are fat-attracting.
C. The brain has a poor self-cleaning function.
D. Nanoplastics are smaller in size.
14. Which of the following is NOT listed as a preventive measure
A. Avoid heating food in plastic containers. B. Reduce the use of packaged foods.
C. Replace plastic bottles with glass cups. D. Ban entirely all plastic production.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. Microplastics: Unseen Invaders in the Human Brain
B. Plastic Waste: Rising Threats to Global Oceans
C. Nanoparticles: Hidden Dangers in Human Health
D. Alzheimer’s Disease: New Findings from Modern Research

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Not all effective learners rely on apps. If you aim to keep knowledge long-term, handwriting notes can deepen understanding. ___16___ While typing on a screen, people often give preference to speed rather than reflection, but pen and paper force you to engage in a smart way.
I keep a leather-bound journal and a set of colored pens in my bag. I avoid using my phone for quick notes. ___17___ Apps might summarize ideas for you, but they lose the personal connections your brain forms while you are writing. For complex subjects, my notebook works best.
___18___ It should act as a map of your thought process, showing how thoughts interlink through arrows, or highlighted keywords. Studies suggest handwritten notes help you remember things 30% better than digital ones.
In addition, I own an old encyclopedia set from the 1970s. Its pages are yellowed and weak, and some entries are outdated. ___19___ However, when I need to learn the historical evolution of an idea or compare pre-internet views, its value becomes certain.
Writing is the geometry of the soul. Modern research proves this: students who rewrite lecture notes in their own words outperform those who copy word-for-word.
___20___ Looking through a well-worn journal can unexpectedly inspire creativity no app can create.
A. However, paper lacks search functionality.
B. And the act of writing itself trains discipline.
C. I rarely open these books for factual accuracy.
D. Fast learning shouldn’t replace deep thinking.
E. A notebook isn’t just for recording information.
F. Digital tools break attention rather than focus it.
G. Highlighters can’t simulate cognitive engagement.

阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade, inspired by a cheerful conversation with my cousin about scary stories. Hours later, I had ___21___ my first short story. Writing ___22___ became my favorite hobby, but as I grew older, the ___23___ began to disappear. I started reading more books, encountering negative words online, and comparing my work with others. I began to doubt myself, and what was once fun became a source of ___24___. I felt I had to be “good” at writing to share it.
This ___25___ happens often. Hobbies start as a way to ___26___, and have fun. Yet, over time, social pressures to be ___27___ can change how we view them. Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, or any other ___28___, there’s an expectation to perform at a high level. When we don’t meet that standard, the joy fades, replaced by feelings of shortage.
For me, writing has been the hobby I try to keep, ___29___ moments of self-doubt. I’ve taken creative writing classes and seen significant improvement, but the constant ____30____ for perfection turns writing from a ____31____ into a task. I’ve realized that this mindset ____32____ me of the joy I once found in it.
We need to remember that it’s ____33____ not to be perfect. Perfection often exists in our ____34____ rather than in the real world, and more often than not, we judge ourselves too strictly. The challenge is finding balance between enjoyment and ____35____. Embrace imperfection, and enjoy the process, even if you’re not “great” at it.
21. A. showed off B. pulled over C. cut off D. wrapped up
22. A. slowly B. openly C. quickly D. carefully
23. A. hope B. surprise C. curiosity D. excitement
24. A. relief B. truth C. inspiration D. stress

47. 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。
Mark’s brother, Jamie, rang Mrs. Grady’s doorbell. “You know her better than I do, Mark. You do the talking.”
“Hi, Mrs. Grady,” said Mark, when their neighbor opened her door. “Would you like us to shovel (铲雪) your sidewalk and driveway ”
Shoveling was Jamie’s idea, a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day.
Mrs. Grady touched her hand to her heart. “That would be wonderful, boys. I think the job is getting to be too much for me.”
“It will cost 10 dollars,” Jamie said.
“If that’s OK,” Mark added.
“Oh dear. “Mrs. Grady sounded disappointed. “I haven’t been able to get to the bank. I can offer homemade cookies, but I realize that’s not what you had in mind.”
Mark was going to say that MIrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. “We’ll come back later. “
As they walked with an effort through the snow out of Mrs. Grady’s driveway, Mark glanced over his shoulder. Mrs. Grady stood at her window, watching them.
She didn’t look like the person who’d come to his rescue last summer when Mr. Dunn's collie (牧羊犬), Goldie, escaped from her backyard. Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mark didn't feel comfortable around big dogs. And Goldie had boxed him in between the wooden fence (栅栏) and the cedar hedge (雪松树篱).
Mark had tried to call for his dad, but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth.
Then Mrs. Grady’s front door had flown open. “Hold on, Mark. I’m coming!” Her apron had waved in the wind like a flag as she stepped out across the street holding a kitchen broom. “Goldie!” she’d called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. She wasn’t much taller than Mark, but she’d stood firm as a rock in front of him as she threw her arm out toward Mr. Dunn’s house. “Goldie, go home!” Then she’d swept her broom to hurry the dog along. “Get!” Goldie had obeyed.
When Mark’s father had appeared at their side, he’d said to Mrs. Grady,“That was very brave! Thank you. ” Mrs. Grady had laughed. “It was nothing. Good neighbors watch out for each other, don’t they ”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as he’d needed her last summer.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the boys worked, Mrs. Grady opened her door, stepping out with an old cookie tin under her arm.

The main difference between Western and East Asian city streets is that Western streets focus on how they look, while East Asian streets care more about what goes on in them. You can see this difference clearly. Western city streets might look clean and organized, but East Asian streets might seem messy at first. But it’s not really a mess. It’s a kind of hidden order that thinks about everything together. This way of looking at things includes all parts of daily life.
Streets are naturally filled with people’s lives. When no one tries to control them, people’s everyday activities just happen on their own. But if someone stops this natural way of life, it’s very hard to bring it back. Fixing or changing the street means getting in the way. Once outside people start changing how life happens on the street, that natural, easy feeling is gone.
When people try to improve a lively street, it often loses its energy, even if they want to make life better there. The problem is that these improvements usually only consider one part of life, like business. Just like traffic, business is only one piece of the whole picture of life. Even though different jobs and shops are separate, life itself is still one big thing. What makes a street lively is that things happen naturally, and this brings all kinds of activities. Even on a shopping street, you can see people doing things that aren’t just about buying and selling. When people change the street just to help businesses, they break up the normal flow of life. It’s like trying to stop life for a while. When water hits a block, it goes another way. Life is similar, but there’s a difference: when the block is gone, water can flow back, but life can’t. Life is closely connected to the place where it happens. When the place changes, life has to change too, and it usually can’t go back to how it was before.
8. Which of the following is a characteristic of Western streets
A. Business-focused. B. Life-mixed.
C. Hidden-structured. D. Visually-ordered.
9. Why does changing streets “get in the way”
A. It brings extremely high costs. B. It destroys the natural order of life.
C. It harms businesses activities. D. It creates environmental ugliness.
10. How does street life differ from water flow
A. It avoids unnecessary barriers. B. It fails to bounce back.
C. It needs strict control. D. It flows in a straight line.
11 What sustains true street energy
A Strict rules. B. Business focus.
C Unforced diversity. D. Visual neatness.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C

Microplastics — plastic particles (微粒) smaller than 5 mm — are spreading rapidly in the environment due to rising global plastic use. By 2023, over 300 million tons of plastic have been produced annually, with 2.5 million tons floating in oceans, a tenfold increase since 2005.
A study in Nature Medicine showed alarming findings: microplastics and nanoplastics build up more in the human brain than in the liver or kidneys (肾脏). Researchers studied organs from 91 dead individuals (1997 — 2022) and found plastics in all brain samples. The highest concentration reached 0.48% of brain tissue (≈2 grams, similar to a plastic spoon’s weight), with recent deaths showing a sharp rise. Microplastics’ fat loving nature allows them to stick to the brain’s fatty tissues (60% of its composition).
Particularly, Alzheimer’s patients had the highest plastic levels. Scientists come up with two theories: plastics may cause dementia, or diseased brains lose the ability to remove waste. Duke University neuroscientist Andrew West explains that our brains have a natural cleaning system using fluid that works during sleep. But too many plastics can damage this system.
Nanoplastics enter the body through bottled water, food packaging, seafood, airborne particles, and heated plastic containers. Global plastic waste, which could wrap the Earth in 2016, has since grown by 50%. As plastics break down, they form particles entering organs.
The study uncovered uncertainties: brains contained polyethylene (PE) (聚乙烯) (from milk bottles) but almost no PET (聚酯) plastic (common in water bottles), despite PET’s importance in blood. This puzzles scientists, highlighting gaps in understanding plastic behavior in the body. US federal funding cuts further hold back research, though students increasingly pursue this field to address the crisis.
The microplastics’ link to Alzheimer’s remains unproven. Scientists urge calm but stress lifestyle changes. They suggest three things: avoid heating food in plastic, use glass containers, and reduce packaged foods.
12. How are microplastics described in terms of size
A. More than 5 millimeters. B. Less than 5 millimeters.
C. More than 1 millimeter. D. Less than 1,000 nanometers.
13. Why do microplastics build up easily in the brain
A. Brain tissue has high water content.
B. Microplastics are fat-attracting.
C. The brain has a poor self-cleaning function.
D. Nanoplastics are smaller in size.
14. Which of the following is NOT listed as a preventive measure
A. Avoid heating food in plastic containers. B. Reduce the use of packaged foods.
C. Replace plastic bottles with glass cups. D. Ban entirely all plastic production.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. Microplastics: Unseen Invaders in the Human Brain
B. Plastic Waste: Rising Threats to Global Oceans
C. Nanoparticles: Hidden Dangers in Human Health
D. Alzheimer’s Disease: New Findings from Modern Research

I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade, inspired by a cheerful conversation with my cousin about scary stories. Hours later, I had ___21___ my first short story.

Mark’s brother, Jamie, rang Mrs. Grady’s doorbell. “You know her better than I do, Mark. You do the talking.”
“Hi, Mrs. Grady,” said Mark, when their neighbor opened her door. “Would you like us to shovel (铲雪) your sidewalk and driveway ”
Shoveling was Jamie’s idea, a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day.
Mrs. Grady touched her hand to her heart. “That would be wonderful, boys. I think the job is getting to be too much for me.”
“It will cost 10 dollars,” Jamie said.
“If that’s OK,” Mark added.
“Oh dear. “Mrs. Grady sounded disappointed. “I haven’t been able to get to the bank. I can offer homemade cookies, but I realize that’s not what you had in mind.”
Mark was going to say that MIrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. “We’ll come back later. “
As they walked with an effort through the snow out of Mrs. Grady’s driveway, Mark glanced over his shoulder. Mrs. Grady stood at her window, watching them.
She didn’t look like the person who’d come to his rescue last summer when Mr. Dunn's collie (牧羊犬), Goldie, escaped from her backyard. Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mark didn't feel comfortable around big dogs. And Goldie had boxed him in between the wooden fence (栅栏) and the cedar hedge (雪松树篱).
Mark had tried to call for his dad, but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth.
Then Mrs. Grady’s front door had flown open. “Hold on, Mark. I’m coming!” Her apron had waved in the wind like a flag as she stepped out across the street holding a kitchen broom. “Goldie!” she’d called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. She wasn’t much taller than Mark, but she’d stood firm as a rock in front of him as she threw her arm out toward Mr. Dunn’s house. “Goldie, go home!” Then she’d swept her broom to hurry the dog along. “Get!” Goldie had obeyed.
When Mark’s father had appeared at their side, he’d said to Mrs. Grady,“That was very brave! Thank you. ” Mrs. Grady had laughed. “It was nothing. Good neighbors watch out for each other, don’t they ”

As the boys worked, Mrs. Grady opened her door, stepping out with an old cookie tin under her arm.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as he’d needed her last summer. Mark stopped and looked at Jamie. “Remember when Mrs. Grady saved me from Goldie ” he asked. Jamie nodded. “She’s always been a great neighbor. Let’s help her for free.” At first, Jamie frowned, thinking about the video game they longed for. But then he sighed and nodded. “You’re right. She’s been so kind to us.” Without another word, the boys returned to Mrs. Grady’s house. When she opened the door, surprise lit up her face. “We’ve decided to do the job for free,” Mark said with a smile. Mrs. Grady was moved and her eyes welled up with tears. “Thank you, boys. You’re truly angels.”
As the boys worked, Mrs. Grady opened her door, stepping out with an old cookie tin under her arm. She sat on the steps, watching them shovel the snow. “These cookies are the least I can do,” she said. When they finished, Mark and Jamie’s faces were red from the cold, but they felt warm inside. Mrs. Grady handed them the tin, filled with delicious - looking chocolate - chip cookies. “I hope you come back to visit me, even without the snow,” she said. On the way home, the boys shared the cookies. “We may not have the video game money,” Jamie said, “but I feel better than if we’d earned it.” Mark nodded. “Yeah. Good neighbors really do watch out for each other.”
