Shortly before Christmas in 2024, Brazilian pianist Martins invited his friends to a bar near his home, showing them the best gift he had received: a new pair of gloves.
They aren’t just any gloves, however. The specially made bionic (仿生学的) devices are letting the 79-year-old play with both hands for the first time in over 20 years. The artist is considered one of the greatest players of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Martins retired in 2024. By then, he had undergone 24 medical procedures to try to reduce pain caused by a progressive disease and from a series of accidents. His limitations had forced him to work mostly as a musical conductor since the early 2000s. But in the final days of 2019, friends returned to his home. They listened to him once again bringing his favourite classical music back to life on his piano. Before the gloves especially developed for him, Martins could only play songs slowly with his thumbs and, sometimes, his pointer fingers.
Martins’ health problems date from 1965. He became known for coming back from every struggle he faced. For example, he suffered nerve damage in his arm from a soccer injury. But even his close friends believed that the latest surgery, on his left hand, would mark the end of his days as a pianist.
However, one designer, Ubirata Bizarro Costa, created special bionic gloves for Martins’ hands. The gloves help move his fingers up after they press on the piano keys. Costa created early models based on images of Martins’ hands. But he said those models were “far from ideal”. He then decided to tell Martins about his efforts. Costa and Martins then spent several months testing different models. The perfect match came in December, and cost only $125 to build.
The new gloves have given Martins a new goal. He hopes to play the piano at New York’s Carnegie Hall. He is already set to conduct a concert celebrating the 60th anniversary of his first appearance there.
24．Why did Martins specifically invite his friends to the bar
A．To showcase his new compositions.
B．To celebrate his physical recovery.
C．To share the joy of his artistic rebirth.
D．To announce his new performance schedule.
25．What may be the evaluation of the effectiveness of his latest surgery
A．A wonder. B．Great regret.
C．An unavoidable accident. D．An unexpected success.
26．What can be inferred from the text
A．Costa is passionate about classical music.
B．Costa is a person full of kindness and creativity.
C．Martins has never performed at Carnegie Hall before.
D．It was in the 2010s that Martins was unemployed.
27．What is the purpose of the text
A．To advertise a special concert.
B．To promote a new technology.
C．To tell us about magic gloves letting a pianist play again.
D．To introduce an outstanding musician.

One day in Bronx, a first-grade teacher sat down in a barbershop for a haircut and one of his students walked in, sat down, and started looking antsy. He thought to himself that it was a perfect opportunity to practice reading, a thought that changed Alvin Irby’s life, and he’s filling many barbershops around the US with free books to trim back childhood illiteracy (文盲). His non-profit, Barbershop Books, has delivered 50,000 free books to more than 200 barbershops in mainly black neighborhoods in 24 states, considering the fact that in Black American communities, barbershops are like community centers where people gather naturally.
“So many kids associate reading with something you do in or for school,” he said. “If the only place a kid practices the piano is during a lesson, the progress will be slow. Our program is about getting kids to say three words: ‘I’m a reader.’”
Irby’s program may seem straightforward but there’s a lot of thought behind it. He puts a colorful, kid-sized bookshelf in each shop, making it inviting to children. The books displayed are all carefully chosen based on recommendations from his target audience. The bookshelves display the covers of the books rather than the spines, helping kids who may be interested in reading seize the opportunity for themselves, whether they’re in the barber’s chair or they’re waiting on their dad or friend. And Irby involves the barbers in his mission — training them to engage kids about reading. “We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,” he said. “Then they can talk to them about how they like reading, how funny a book was or tell them about another book another kid was reading.”
Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income, but he was willing to quit that to help the community. “I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an impact.”
“These books, I would say, have power,” 8-year-old boy Chance said. That’s what keeps Irby motivated. “I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.”
28．What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A．Restless. B．Serious. C．Relieved. D．Joyful.
29．Why does the program appeal to children
A．Because it expresses children’s requirements. B．Because it shows children’s characteristics.
C．Because it protects children’s security. D．Because it considers children’s preferences.
30．What made Denny Moe give up the video games finally
A．That he wanted to attract more customers. B．That he wanted to make a difference.
C．That he wanted to bring in more money. D．That he wanted to meet different demands.
31．What is the best title for this passage
A．Black Kids, Potential Big Readers
B．Free Books, Good Way to Pay Back
C．Colourful Covers, Nice Try to Attract Kids
D．Small Barbershops, Treasure House to Start Reading
D
Most of us know that music can brighten daily life, turning boring tasks into enjoyable moments and making exercise more exciting. But what about listening to music after an experience Can it affect how well we remember it A recent study from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) suggests that music can indeed shape memory — depending on the emotions it produces.
The researchers showed volunteers images of common objects such as oranges, computers and telephones. After viewing about 100 pictures, participants listened to 10 minutes of classical music. Once their emotional response returned to normal, they took a memory test. Some images were exactly the same, some a little different and others entirely new. Participants had to tell whether each object had been seen before and if it was exactly the same or different.
The results showed that music did not improve memory overall. Instead, its effect depended on the listener’s emotional response. Neither the style of music — whether happy or sad — nor its familiarity played a decisive role. What mattered most was the level of emotional response the music caused. Individuals who experienced a medium level of emotional response showed better memory for details, especially in recognizing similar but not exactly the same images. Those with very strong or very weak emotional response had worse detail-based memory but better memory for the general idea of the experience.
According to the researchers, these findings suggest that music can help sharpen detailed memory when it creates just the right amount of emotional response. “This discovery may have practical applications in education and treatment. For instance, music that causes a medium level of emotion could help learning if played after studying. It might also support individuals with Alzheimer’s or anxiety disorders by helping them manage how they remember past experiences,” they said.
However, since people respond differently to music, personalized playlists may be necessary. Further research is needed to develop targeted musical methods that can improve — or soften — specific types of memory. With additional support, music could become a powerful, safe tool for improving memory and supporting mental health.
32．What did the participants do immediately after viewing the images for the first time
A．They listened to classical music. B．They took a memory test.
C．They described the images they saw. D．They discussed their emotional responses.
33．What advantage did participants with a medium emotional response have
A．They felt no stress at all. B．They finished the test faster.
C．They remembered more details. D．They could draw pictures easily.
34．What is the researchers’ attitude toward the use of music in medical treatment
A．Hopeful. B．Unconcerned. C．Doubtful. D．Critical.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．Music makes life enjoyable. B．Classical music benefits memory.
C．Personal playlists aid mental health. D．Music affects memory through emotions.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A recent study suggests that reading paper books does make you smarter.While all reading benefits the brain,particularly at a young age,physical books offer the most advantages.Students who read paper books scored approximately 2.5 years ahead of those who didn’t read,whereas digital readers scored just under a year ahead 36
A previous study has consistently shown that reading comprehension is better with paper books compared to digital reading. 37 Even in areas where digital reading is more common,students who read paper books demonstrate a better understanding of the material.
One reason for this is that reading on paper comes with fewer distractions(干扰) .Digital platforms often distract readers with games or videos. 38 Additionally,the absence of blue light in physical books prevents potential harm to readers’ eyes and aids in better sleep.The brain activity involved in reading a paper book helps the mind wind down,avoiding blue light that can interrupt the circadian rhythm (生物钟).
39 Children surrounded by books are encouraged to read and discuss what they learn,developing a habit of engaged learning and achieving greater success.While digital books have made reading more accessible to disadvantaged students,they do not replace the unique benefits of physical books.However,since physical copies can be more expensive and harder to find,digital reading remains a valuable alternative.
It’s true that paper books have clear advantages. 40 So,regardless of how you choose to read,know that any book is better than none.
A．Paper books, on the contrary, keep readers focused.
B．Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for digital books.
C．This differenee of more than a year and a half is significant.
D．Digital reading, on the other hand, is far better than not reading at all.
E．Consider adding books to your physical library, rather than digital ones.
F．The new one further confirms the long-term benefits for physical book readers.
G．Moreover, people with more books at home are typically higher academic achievers.

Final exams were approaching, and everyone in school was excited about vacations. We were dreaming of far-off destinations, our minds filled with images of thrilling adventures.
After school on Friday, on my way home, I ran into my best friend. Enthusiastic about the vacations, I asked him about his plans. His eyes twinkled brightly as he replied, “I’m going to visit my grandparents with my parents for a week.”
“Don’t you ever get tired of going to the same place year after year I remember, every year, your family takes 7 to 10 days off to head back to your native village,” I asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
“Oh, not at all! That’s the absolute best time of the year for me! Being with my folks in the village is just amazing.” His face beamed with joy as he continued, "In the village, I get to meet so many wonderful people, and everyone there is so kind and welcoming. Our neighborhood crew is tight! We’re always hanging out together, you know Just running wild, chilling by the lake, or bouncing between each other’s houses. Honestly, I know what really matters about these village trips. It’s not the cool places we see — it’s spending time with the people I love. That’s the real treasure of life.”
His words made me recall my own grandparents. I realized I hadn’t seen them for years. But still, it’s a pleasure to be there. … we had big long gardens and a big multi-story house.
The next day, over breakfast, I mustered up the courage and asked my parents, “Can we visit grandparents this summer after exams ” Dad replied hesitantly, “Oh, that’s unexpected.” Mom was surprised. “Well, you know it gets really hot there this time of year.” After a short pause, Dad gave a small sigh and met my hopeful gaze. “However,” he said, “if you perform well in exams, we’ll make the trip.”
For the next six weeks, I threw myself completely into my studies. My mom was amazed by this sudden transformation in me. Soon came the long-awaited exam results.

(1)续写词数应为150左右；

62．【答案】One possible version:
I rushed home and immediately handed my parents my score card and a note with “PLEASE.” This time, they instantly agreed. The next day, we set out for our hometown. Every one, be it relatives or neighbors, greeted us with smiles, treating me like their own son. Every day brought new happiness –- digging with Grandpa in the garden, playing games with cousins until sunset, roaming around familiar streets with loved ones and even joining the local kids in their football matches. The days passed as we had a wonderful time together. Truth be told, everything was more fun in a big family. When departure day came, my heart ached.
I saw my mom had tears in her eyes when leaving them. She wiped them away and smiled, saying, “I didn’t realize how much I missed the village until now. It’s not just a place; it’s where our roots are.” As we drove away, I felt a mix of excitement and nostalgia. I realized that the real adventure wasn’t about exploring far-off places but about reconnecting with family and our heritage. This trip wasn’t just for me; it was a reminder for all of us that family is the true treasure of life. From then on, visiting Grandma and Grandpa became our annual tradition, a time to cherish love, laughter, and the simple joys of being together.
