阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Now it’s the perfect time to teach kids about growing things. Try one or more of these plant experiments for fun and learning.
* Color carnations (康乃馨)
Fill a glass with water and color the water. Add a white carnation stalk (茎) and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great, short experiment to show how plants take in water.
* Plant root vegetables
Find out how root vegetables form underground by planting them in a clear container. First, fill the bottom of the container with small stones. Next, add potting soil and plant rot vegetable seeds, trying carrots or onions, evenly. Keep the soil wet and enjoy watching the rot form. Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it!
* Study speedy sunflowers
Sunflower seeds sprout (发芽) and grow quickly, making this the perfect flower for impatient children. These seeds can be started just about anywhere, even in a paper coffee cup or yogurt container. Kids love seeing the plant push its way out of the soil, wearing the seed’s outer part like a hat! Move your plant to a flower pot after it sprouts to observe the lower as it forms.
* Make a grass basket
Grass is another seed that grows quickly. Make a living basket by lining a basket with plastic and filling it with potting soil put grass seeds on top and water them lightly every day.
Growing plants is a great way to bring some leaning—and a little sunshine—to your daily life. Try any of these inexpensive garden experiments for a fun project this spring.
21. Which garden experiment will you choose to see how plants “drink” water

My mother always told me, “You should explore your own country before stepping out into the world.” However, it seems like a tough mission to travel all across its expansive surfaces. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July. The ticket was a bargain $ 150. My best friends Trevor, Joel and Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the opportunity and secured four tickets on the great Canadian railroad.
For a group of 20-year-olds, this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest.When we approached the train station in the morning, our 22-day adventure from Sudbury toVancouver was to begin. Eyes baggy from lack of sleep, we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. Although the thought of three full days on those tracks covering close to 3,000 kilometers crushed our spirits a little, what happened next caught us by surprise.
The three days on board turned into a summer camp on rails. At night, we would climb up the glass-domed train car, which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky, untouched by the harmful light pollution. Before we knew it, the warm sun rays beating down on our faces woke us up for another day on the rails. To my surprise, a sea of golden grain fields dominated the landscape we were in the Canadian Prairies.
Another day slipped away and we set up for another night in the dome (圆顶状物). And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone in the glass bubble in complete disbelief.
Arriving in the Rocky Mountains was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Before the train adventure, if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. That is no longer true. I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.
24. What has made the author’s train adventure across Canada a reality
A. The encouragement given by his mother.
B. The discount ticket offered by Via Rail Canada.
C. The appeal of the scenic views in the country.
D. His great courage to challenge a tough mission.
25. What can we infer about the young people from Paragraph 2
A. They left their parents for the first time in their life.
B. They never thought of having a train adventure.
C. They were hooked by the magic story of Harry Potter.
D. They were excited about the coming train journey.
26. What does “the glass bubble” in the fourth paragraph refer to
A. The glass-domed train car. B. The sightseeing tour.
C. A state of excitement. D. A summer camp on the train.
27. What did the author learn from the train adventure across Canada
A. The destination is what matters. B. Adventurous journey attracts young people.
C. Enjoying a journey counts a lot. D. The traveling experience is not real to him
C
Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
28. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest
A. It’s small in size. B. It’s hidden in trees.
C. It’s covered with wax. D. It’s hard to recognize.
29. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. A bee. B. A bird.
C. Animals or people looking for honey. D. A beekeeper.
30. The honey guide is special in the way .
A. it gets its food B. it goes to church
C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees’ nests
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey
C. Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover’s Helper

Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind
A research by Scott Barry Kaufinan, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.
So why does a simple shower have such magic power Science can explain it.
Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha! moment to us.”
Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H.Carson. author of Your Creative Brain. “A showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation period’ for your ideas.”
Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”
Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn’t just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance. Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind,whether it’s a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.
32. According to the article, what changes can showering cause
A. Increasing the level of dopamine. B. Bringing the terrible moment to us.
C. Leading to boredom or tiredness. D. Setting the creative part of the brain free.
33. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help .
A. draw one’s attention to the outside world B. turn one’s attention inwards
C. experience something new D. many chemical changes take place
34. It can be inferred from the article that .
A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new view
B. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspiration
C. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new things
D. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task
35. The example of Gertnude Stein in the last paragraph is used to .
A. show that creativity often comes from strange places
B. point out to readers that it’s hard to find inspiration
C. explain how to link inspiration with readers’ daily lives
D. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration

Emojis are widely used in our daily lives and have become 56 important way of communication. The first emojis were created in 1999 by Japanese designer Shigetaka Kurita,
57 worked on a mobile Internet platform 58 (call) i-mode. Kurita attempted to develop a simple way for people 59 (express) emotions in short text messages.
As emojis gained 60 (popular), they faced a significant technical hurdle (障碍): early emojis could not 61 (send) across different mobile platforms, since there was no standardized encoding (编码). This issue was resolved in 2010 by the Unicode Consortium, an organization responsible 62 maintaining a standardized encoding of text and symbols across platforms. This allowed for cross-platform communication and continued expansion in emoji usage worldwide.
Given 63 (they) origins in Japan, many early emoji characters were reflective of Japanese culture. As they’ve spread 64 (global), new characters have been added to account for cultural differences and provide a more universal means of communication. Users must also consider cultural sensitivities when 65 (communicate) via emojis, as certain symbols can have hugely different meanings across different cultures.

“Attention, please. This is Radio Three, the one o’ clock news. A female wolf escaped from the Monterey Zoo this morning, which is believed to be still at large in the Monterey area. If hungry, the wolf might be dangerous. If anyone sees this animal, please inform the nearest police station.”
Buried in making lunch before her baby woke up, Mrs. Smith switched the radio off with a little attention. In order to avoid disturbing her sleeping baby, she pushed the pram (婴儿车) into the garden, left it under a tree out of the sun as usual and went into the kitchen.
Several minutes later, she came to the back door to see if everything was all right. To her a little surprise, there was a big “dog” standing by the pram, looking at the baby. “That’s the Johnson’s dog. I’ve told them they ought to keep that great animal in their own garden. Those dogs are a bit too much like wolves.” Mrs. Smith thought. Then she went cold. “Wolves. What have I heard about wolves ” She was sure she had heard something about an escaped wolf on the radio. She looked hard at the creature by the pram. The more she looked, the more certain she became. It wasn’t the dog from next door. Like it, but different. It was as big as the dog, but the color was greyer and it looked thinner.
At this moment the creature put its front legs on the side of the pram and looked at the sleeping baby, licking its face. The baby woke up and began to cry quietly. Mrs. Smith wanted to scream, but she knew it would be wrong to do that. What should she do “Inform the police,” the radio had said. But that meant leaving the garden and going to the telephone near the front door. She was sure that somehow she must get the wolf away from the pram.

36-40 CGEAF
本文介绍了中国四个传统节日：清明节、重阳节、冬至和除夕，包括每个节日的时间、传统习俗及文化意义。
36. 本段主题为“清明节”，后文提到“remove the weeds growing on the ancestors’ tombs”（清理祖先坟墓上的杂草），可知核心习俗是“祭祖”。选项C. People will go to worship their ancestors（人们会去祭拜祖先）符合语境，且与“扫墓”行为直接相关。
37. 本段主题为“重阳节”，后文解释“九月的汉字与‘九’相同，因此得名”，可知需先说明节日时间。选项G. It is celebrated on Sept. 9th of the Lunar Calendar, around October.明确指出“农历九月初九，约在十月”，符合“重阳节”的时间特征，且与下文“九月”的解释衔接紧密。
38. 本段主题为“冬至”，后文提到“北方吃饺子和馄饨，南方吃汤圆”，强调不同地区的饮食差异。选项E. That day people in different regions eat different food.不同地区的人吃不同的食物概括了这一内容，且与下文具体饮食例子衔接自然。
39. 本段后文描述“农历年的最后一天”“家庭团圆饭、放烟花、守岁”等习俗，符合“除夕”的特征。选项A. New Year’s Eve（除夕）是对该节日的直接命名，且与“the last day of the Lunar year”呼应。
40. 前文提到除夕打碎碗碟时要说“岁岁平安”，选项F. It is a pun, meaning you will be healthy every year.解释“这是双关语，意味着每年健康平安”，符合“岁岁平安”的文化内涵（“碎”与“岁”谐音），补充说明了祝福语的意义。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
41-45 CACDA 46-50 BDCAD 51-55 DBBCA
本文讲述了95岁古巴歌手Angela Alvarez的励志故事。她自幼热爱音乐，却因家庭原因搁置音乐梦想数十年。在孙子的鼓励下，她录制了人生第一张专辑，并于2021年获得拉丁格莱美“最佳新人奖”，成为该奖项最年长得主。她的故事激励人们“追梦永不晚”。
41. 前文提到“追求目标没有年龄限制”，后文强调95岁实现梦想的特殊性。Angela的故事核心是“励志”，而非单纯的“惊讶”或“兴奋”。她的经历能激励他人，因此选项C. inspiring鼓舞人心的最符合语境。exciting：令人兴奋的 understanding：体谅人的surprising：令人惊讶的
42. 后文提到“her first album”（首张专辑），音乐专辑的正式推出常用 released发行（专辑、作品等），而“created”仅指创作，不涉及发布。因此选项A. released符合“发行专辑”的语境。searched：搜索created：创造increased：增加
43. Angela曾告诉父亲想成为歌手，此处强调“职业歌手”这一身份目标，而非风格（浪漫、独特）或状态（精力充沛）。“professional singer”（职业歌手）符合语境。选项C. professional职业的为答案。romantic：浪漫的unique：独特的energetic：精力充沛的
44. 前文提到“life wasn’t easy”（生活艰难），因此她不得不“搁置”音乐梦想。选项 D. put aside表示暂时放弃，符合因现实原因暂停梦想的语境。take up：开始从事get into：进入，陷入bring in：引进，带来
45. “music was always there to keep her company”（音乐一直陪伴她），陪伴的作用通常是带来“选项A. comfort安慰”。其他选项“概念”“专辑”“舞台”均不符合“陪伴”的逻辑结果。concept：概念album：专辑stage：舞台
46. 孙子“sorted out the old stuff”（整理旧物时）发现了她的歌曲，这一发现是“偶然的”，而非刻意寻找或最终结果。“选项B. accidentally偶然地”符合“意外发现”的语境。finally：最终actually：实际上evidently：明显地
47. 后文提到“over 50 songs”（50多首歌），结合Angela是“song writer”（词曲作者），可知这些歌是她“写”的。“选项D. written”符合“创作歌曲”的逻辑。hidden：隐藏quoted：引用heard：听到
48. 孙子问她是否愿意去“studio”（录音室），录音室的核心行为是“录制歌曲”。“选项C. recording her songs”（录制她的歌）符合语境，而“润色”“改编”并非录音室的主要目的。
49. Angela的话意为“我的梦想是在离开人世时，知道我的音乐以某种方式显露并流传下去”。“选项A. leave this life”（离世）是固定搭配，符合老人对人生终点的期许。continue：继续keep：保持bear：忍受
50. 孙子询问后，Angela的回答开启了录制专辑的过程，因此这是她梦想实现的“开端”。“选项D. beginning”符合“从这一刻开始行动”的逻辑。conclusion：结论award：奖项ending：结尾
51. Angela的故事“甚至”引起了演员Andy Garcia的注意，“选项D. even”表示递进关系，强调影响力超出预期，符合语境。still：仍然never：从不ever：曾经
52. Andy Garcia作为演员，对Angela的故事应是“深感震撼”，才会决定制作纪录片。“选项B. blew me away”符合对感人故事的强烈反应。left me out：排除我got me down：使我沮丧set me up：陷害我
53. 后文提到“their generation of Cubans”（他们那一代古巴人），Angela的经历“代表”了那一代古巴人的坚韧，“选项B. represented代表”符合“象征、代表”的语境。defended：保卫made：制作strengthened：加强
54. “reached new 选项C. heights”（达到新高度）是固定搭配，指她的梦想因获得格莱美提名而达到新的成就，符合语境。distances：距离insights：见解angles：角度
55. Angela的演讲鼓励未实现梦想的人，“with faith and love”（凭借信念和爱）是实现梦想的核心要素。“选项A. faith”（信念）与“never too late”呼应，符合励志主题。reaction：反应responsibility：责任quality：品质
