【解析】介绍了中国第一套邮票 “大龙” 的相关情况，包括其发行时间（1878 年清朝时期）、象征意义、设计特点、印刷次数及每次的变化、价值等，还提到这些邮票帮助我们了解过去人们寄信的方式，强调了其在历史和收藏方面的重要性。
6.A 句意： “中国有悠久的邮政系统历史”。“a long history” 表示 “一段悠久的历史”，这里是泛指，不是特指，所以用不定冠词 “a”，因为 “long” 是以辅音音素开头的单词，不能用 “an”，所以选 A。
7.C 句意：“在 1878 年（清朝时期），第一套名为‘大龙’的三张邮票发行了”。这里讲述的是过去发生的事情，所以要用一般过去时，“come” 的过去式是 “came”，所以选 C。
8.D 句意：“事实上，在古代龙是皇帝的象征”。“in ancient times” 是固定短语，意为 “在古代”，所以选 D。
9.B句意：“人们也能看到龙周围的云和水”。“can” 表示 “能够”，这里是说人们有能力看到龙周围的云和水，“must” 表示 “必须”，“need” 表示 “需要”，“should” 表示 “应该”，都不符合句意，所以选 B。
10.B句意：“每种邮票都有它自己的颜色 ——1 分银的是绿色，3 分银的是红色，5 分银的是黄色”。“its” 是 “it” 的所有格形式，表示 “它的”，这里指 “邮票的”，所以选 B。
11.B句意： “这些邮票被印刷了三次，每次它们都有一些变化”。“a few” 后面接可数名词复数，“change” 作名词时，复数形式是 “changes”，所以选 B。
12.C 句意： “第二次，他们把邮票之间的间距变大了”。这里表示顺序，“第二次” 要用 “the second time”，“two” 是基数词，“twice” 表示 “两次”，是副词，“secondly” 是副词，所以选 C。
13.D句意： “根据 2024 年的《杭州日报》，发现一整套‘大龙’邮票可能高达约 5000 万元并不令人惊讶”。“it is + 形容词 + to do sth.” 是固定句型，表示 “做某事是…… 的”，所以选 D。
14. B句意：“这些旧邮票现在非常特别并且有价值”。“valuable” 是形容词，表示 “有价值的”，“value” 作名词是 “价值”，作动词是 “重视”，“valueless” 表示 “无价值的”，根据句意选 B。
15.A句意： “它们帮助我们记起在人们像我们今天这样有快速传递信息的方式之前，很久之前人们是如何寄信的”。“before” 表示 “在…… 之前”，这里是说在有现代快速通信方式之前的情况，“because” 表示 “因为”，“if” 表示 “如果”，“so that” 表示 “以便”，都不符合句意，所以选 A。

第一节、阅读选择（30分）
A
Collecting is a popular hobby with people around the world. Some people collect stamps, bottles or dolls, and others collect baseball cards, teapots or shells. There are almost as many kinds of collections as there are collectors.
Coin collecting, called numismatics, is one of the most popular kinds of collecting. People like learning about coins and their history. They like to find rare（稀有的）coins. Some see their collections as a valuable investment（投资），and others just enjoy the beauty and variety of their coins.
There are many different kinds of coin collections. Some numismatists choose to collect foreign coins. They may choose a certain country or a certain time period when they begin their collections. Another popular way to collect is to choose a theme(主題)and then look for coins that have pictures of the animals, people, or objects about it.
Some collections can become very valuable. This counts on the type of the coin, the rarity of the coin and the need for the coin. If you own a rare coin that few people are interested in, it will be worth less than a rare coin that many people want to own.
Condition(状况)also plays an important role in deciding a coin's value. Serious collectors keep their coins very carefully in special boxes. They handle their coins with gloves.
If you are interested in starting a coin collection, the best thing to do is to learn a little about it first. You can find books about coin collecting at the library, and you’ll learn how to decide the value of different coins and keep your collection properly. The next time you look through the coins in your pocket, you might find that you have the beginning of a very interesting hobby!

28.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The value of rare coins. B.The kinds of coin collection.
C.The collection of foreign coins. D.The suggestions of coin collection.

When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. “I don’t believe Tommy has a hobby,” she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies (蝴蝶) in a glass case. The teacher liked the samples (标本) very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.
“What are you doing, Tommy ” She asked. “Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That’s when the parents are coming to see them.”
“I know that,” answered Tommy, “and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn’t want them to be out of our house at night.”
“But, aren’t the butterflies yours ” asked the teacher.
“No,” answered Tommy. “They are my brother’s.”

Personally, I am not much of a collector. I collect photos of special times in my life, and I have a big collection of soft toys-rabbits, bears, elephants, dogs and snakes. I love them!
Most people collect things at some time in their life. Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books Many people collect the letters or emails from friends. And most children have a good toy collection. Most people don't think of themselves as "collectors" because they think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life. However, some people love collecting things as a hobby, and you can collect anything, from stamps to toys to football match programmes to old photos. In fact, some people have unusual collections.
For example, Robert Opie collects things we usually throw away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and boxes. He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection.
When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died aged 87, he left behind some unusual collections. His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers. Andy did not want to keep these collections and decided to look on the Internet to see if anyone else would like the collections. He was surprised to find out that his father's collections were very valuable. After he sold them, he bought a new car with the money.
Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to specialist shops or markets to buy things for your collection, or you can buy collectors' magazines. You can even look on the Internet at sites like E-bay. Or you can trade things you have for something else that you would like. For example, if you have two stamps that are exactly the same, you might be able to trade one of them for a different one that you prefer.
36. What does the writer mean by saying "Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books"
A. Nobody collects photos or books.
B. Most people collect things at some time.
C. Most people don't think they are collectors.
D. People can collect everything.
37. According to the writer, the following collections are unusual EXCEPT__________.
A. sweet papers B. matchboxes C. bus tickets D. photos

A. Graham collected 5,000 toy soldiers.
B. Graham's son Andy kept his collections.
C. Graham's collections brought Andy a lot of money.
D. Nobody wanted Graham's collections.
39. From the last paragraph, we can know _____________________.
A. when to collect things B. how to collect things
C. why to collect things D. what to collect
40. What is the best title for the passage
A. Collectors and Their Collections B. Two Extraordinary Collectors
C. Good Ways to Collect Things D. Mad Collections
【答案】BDCBD
【解析】这篇短文向读者是一位收藏家，他向读者又介绍了两位与众不同的收藏家和他们的藏品，并不只是介绍他们两个人的生平，作者也向读者简单介绍如何收集物品，全篇围绕关键词“收藏”展开
36. 考查推理判断。原文第二段这句话“Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books ”的意思是“有谁没有收藏照片或书籍的？”说明作者这么说是表示大多数人都在某个时间收集东西，而不是说“没有人收集照片或书籍”、“大多数人不认为自己是收藏家”或“人们可以收集所有东西”，故选B。
37. 考查细节理解。原文“Robert Opie collects things we usually throw away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and boxes.”（罗伯特·奥皮（Robert Opie）收集我们通常扔掉的东西，例如旧报纸，精美的报纸和盒子）说明糖果纸是不寻常的藏品之一，原文“His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers.”（他的儿子安迪（Andy）发现斯图尔特（Stuart）是一位敏锐的收藏家，他发现父亲收集了超过5000张旧巴士票，3000个旧火柴盒和1000个玩具士兵。）说明公交车票、火柴盒也是不寻常的，因此作者并不认为照片是不寻常的藏品，故选D。
38. 考查细节理解。原文“His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers.”（他的儿子安迪（Andy）发现斯图尔特（Stuart）是一位敏锐的收藏家，他发现父亲收集了超过5000张旧巴士票，3000个旧火柴盒和1000名玩具士兵）说明格雷厄姆收集了1000个玩具兵，选项A错误。原文“After he sold them, he bought a new car with the money.”（卖掉后，他用这笔钱买了一辆新车）说明格雷厄姆的儿子安迪卖掉了它们，得到了很多钱，并没有保留这些藏品，也说明有人要他的藏品，选项BD错误，故选C。
39. 考查细节理解。原文“Collectors collect things in different ways.”（收集者以不同的方式收集东西。）说明这一段主要讲如何收集东西，然后作者提出了几个小建议，故选B。
40. 考查最佳标题。这篇短文向读者就是一位收藏家，他向读者又介绍了两位与众不同的收藏家和他们的藏品，并不只是介绍他们两个人的生平，作者也向读者简单介绍如何收集物品，全篇围绕关键词“收藏”展开，内容新奇，最佳标题可以是“疯狂的收藏”，故选D。

My collection
I love collecting all kinds of tickets, such as train tickets, movie tickets and tickets to museums and other places.
I began to collect tickets 3 years ago. When I got a ticket for the first time, I found that it was beautiful. Therefore, I began collecting tickets. Up to now, I have got more than 200 different tickets. I get them from different places. I get movie tickets when I go to the cinema. I get train tickets when I travel. I ask my friends to give theirs to me as well. My favorite ticket is a concert ticket. I went to a famous singer's concert with my friends. It was an unforgettable experience.
I enjoy collecting tickets. They not only help me remember different beautiful places and times I had clearly, but also they are a good way for me to keep track of my life.

A
Collecting is a popular hobby with people around the world. Some people collect stamps, bottles or dolls, and others collect baseball cards, teapots or shells. There are almost as many kinds of collections as there are collectors.
Coin collecting, called numismatics, is one of the most popular kinds of collecting. People like learning about coins and their history. They like to find rare（稀有的）coins. Some see their collections as a valuable investment（投资），and others just enjoy the beauty and variety of their coins.
There are many different kinds of coin collections. Some numismatists choose to collect foreign coins. They may choose a certain country or a certain time period when they begin their collections. Another popular way to collect is to choose a theme(主題)and then look for coins that have pictures of the animals, people, or objects about it.
Some collections can become very valuable. This counts on the type of the coin, the rarity of the coin and the need for the coin. If you own a rare coin that few people are interested in, it will be worth less than a rare coin that many people want to own.
Condition(状况)also plays an important role in deciding a coin's value. Serious collectors keep their coins very carefully in special boxes. They handle their coins with gloves.

Personally, I am not much of a collector. I collect photos of special times in my life, and I have a big collection of soft toys-rabbits, bears, elephants, dogs and snakes. I love them!
