二、阅读理解
The Age of Exploration was a period when adventurers set out to find new sea routes, a pursuit that fundamentally reshaped humanity’s geographical understanding of the planet. Here are four key figures from different nations whose discoveries had a lasting impact.
Meriwether Lewis
Leading the Lewis and Clark Expedition (航行) (1804-1806), this American explorer was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson to map the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. His team journeyed from the Mississippi River to the Pacific, documenting new species and establishing relations with Native tribes (部落). This journey opened the American West to settlement, connecting the nation from coast to coast.
Ferdinand Magellan
Sailing for Spain, this Portuguese explorer organized the first expedition to encircle the globe in 1519. Though he was killed in the Philippines in 1521, one of his ships completed the voyage in 1522. This historic journey proved the world was round, linked the world’s oceans, and revealed the vastness of the Pacific.
James Cook
This British naval captain led three groundbreaking voyages across the Pacific in the late 18th century. He mapped the eastern coast of Australia, charted New Zealand’s coastline, and explored numerous Pacific islands. Cook’s accurate mappings and scientific observations greatly expanded European knowledge of the Pacific region and established new connections between Europe and the South Pacific.
Marco Polo
This Venetian trader traveled the Silk Road to China in the 13th century, spending 17 years in Asia. His detailed accounts of Asian cultures, technologies, and wealth introduced Europeans to a previously unknown world. His book, The Travels of Marco Polo, inspired generations of future explorers and helped bridge the cultural divide between the East and the West.
21．What did Lewis’ team document
A．The geography of the Silk Road. B．New species along their journey.
C．Cultural customs in ancient China. D．Asian technologies in the 13th century.
22．Which explorer mapped the eastern coast of Australia
A．James Cook. B．Marco Polo.
C．Meriwether Lewis D．Ferdinand Magellan.
23．What do the four explorers have in common according to the text
A．They sailed across the Pacific Ocean.
B．They completed their planned expeditions.
C．Their journeys promoted global connections.
D．Their achievements focused on new land mapping.
Walt Disney’s vision of creating “The Happiest Place on Earth” for families revolutionized the amusement park industry and his company now has six resorts (度假区) with a dozen theme parks worldwide.
Disneyland in Anaheim, California is the first resort in the world. According to the Themed Entertainment Association, Disneyland now ranks as the world’s second — most visited theme park, closely behind Disney World in Florida, which opened in 1971. In 2023, it drew more than 17 million visitors.
The park was built on what was once an orange forest in Anaheim, just outside Los Angeles. It opened on July 17, 1955. Although Walt Disney was known for his attention to detail, the opening day was famously a disaster. The park opened just a year after its groundbreaking and the shoes of the guests sank into the muddy land. There weren’t enough restrooms in the park. Food and drinks were in short supply, too.
Among the original rides still around today are the Mad Tea Party, Peter Pan’s Flight and the Jungle Cruise. The cost to get in that first year was $1 for adults and 50 cents for children, although tickets for most rides were an additional 10 to 50 cents. Today, a one-day ticket starts at more than $100 and on some days can double that.
Over the years, the park has hosted US presidents, kings and queens, and countless celebrities. A few even got their start at Disneyland. Actor Kevin Costner was a skipper on the Jungle Cruise and comedian Steve Martin worked at a magic shop where he learned about being a performer.
While Disneyland still features many of the touches Walt Disney oversaw himself, the original park is ever-evolving. Some of the moves have been made to keep up with a changing society, while others have been made to introduce more thrilling attractions with the latest technology to keep up with competitors. The resort in Anaheim now includes Disney California Adventure and Downtown Disney, a shopping and entertainment district.
24．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．Florida. B．Disneyland. C．Disney World. D．California.
25．Which of the following best describes Disneyland’s opening
A．Ill-prepared. B．Unsuccessful. C．Well-scheduled. D．Ordinary.
26．What can be inferred about Peter Pan’s Flight
A．It costs 10 to 50 cents for each ride. B．It has helped countless famous people.
C．It is the most advanced ride in the park. D．It is one of the oldest rides at Disneyland.
27．What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Disneyland
A．Its popularity. B．Its history. C．Its growth. D．Its benefits.
In Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady River, there is a group of Irrawaddy dolphins that are best-known for giving a special signal — a wave of their tail — right before the fishers should cast nets. They even passed this skill on to their babies.
“This is a pretty rare phenomenon in terms of human and wildlife cooperation. So, we’re not only conserving on a species level, but also on a cultural level,” says Brian Smith, a river dolphin expert. “It’s a lesson to humanity about our relationship with wildlife.”
The Irrawaddy dolphins have another less-known trick: They spit water. It’s not just for fun, though. They use it to drive fish into tight groups so they’re easier to catch. Some scientists even think they might do it to impress a potential mate.
The Irrawaddy dolphins are one of the only six species that can live in freshwater. But they can also inhabit coastal waters — a quality shared by even fewer species. Their range includes parts of coastal waters of South and Southeast Asia, as well as three specific rivers: the Mekong in Cambodia, the Mahakam in Indonesia, and the Ayeyarwady in Myanmar. While the species as a whole is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the populations in these three rivers are considered critically endangered, with fewer than 100 individuals estimated in each.
These rivers and coastal areas are often close to intense human activity, so they face serious threats from pollution, habitat loss, coal-carrying ships, and illegal electro-fishing — a practice in which fishers send electric currents through the water to kill fish. Electro-fishing not only dramatically reduces the fish populations that dolphins rely on, but it can also injure or kill the dolphins.
“Without urgent action, these cooperative, curious creatures could disappear forever, much like the Yangtze dolphins, which disappeared from China’s waters in 2006, despite conservation efforts, as well as Mexico’s Vaquita dolphins, down to around 10 individuals,” warns Smith.
28．Why do the Irrawaddy dolphins wave their tail
A．To drive away the fishers.
B．To ask the fishers to work together.
C．To have fun with the fishers.
D．To remind the fishers of their presence.
29．What can be learned about the Irrawaddy dolphins from paragraph 4
A．Fewer than 300 of them still exist.
B．Their habitat is limited to three rivers.
C．They know how to drive fish together.
D．They can also survive in coastal waters.
30．What does the author intend to do by mentioning the electro-fishing
A．To call on the government to take action.
B．To introduce the latest fishing method.
C．To show the threats faced by the dolphins.
D．To explain its effects on fish populations.
31．Which is the most critically endangered species
A．The Vaquita dolphins.
B．The Yangtze dolphins.
C．The Mekong dolphins.
D．The Mahakam dolphins.
Kids who are stars seldom grow up to be top achievers, a new study reported in a paper published Thursday in the journal Science.
The researchers examined data from nearly 35,000 adults in two dozens of previously published studies and found there was just a 10% overlap (重叠) between child prodigies and high - performing adults, such as Olympic champions, renowned composers, and Nobel prize winners.
“There are those young top performers who later become world-class performers at peak performance age,” said Arne Güllich, co - author of the paper. “But these are the exception, not the rule.”
The researchers defined peak years as being between ages 20 and 30 for sports and chess, and between ages 40 and 50 for science and music. The findings were consistent across various fields.
The new analysis also challenged ideas that excellence comes from hours of specialized early training, or the “10,000-hour rule” popularized by Malcolm Gladwell. The rule suggests that a person needs about 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery.
“Many people make decisions for themselves or their children based on these ideas, such as starting their child early in a sport or a musical instrument with the goal of producing the next Tiger Woods or Yo-Yo Ma,” said Arne Güllich. “However, our study indicates that adult world-class performers do a range of activities when they were young — with fewer practice hours in their specific discipline but more time in other activities.”
Fred Oswald, a psychologist at Rice University who wasn’t involved in the work, said the findings were informative, but the implications for advising individuals are unclear. “However, there’s a key takeaway: Encourage kids to pursue a variety of interests rather than specializing early,” he said. “Evidence suggests that engaging in two additional areas to the main discipline is the sweet spot. So it’s unwise to try as many as possible, like sampling all the instruments in music.”
32．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prodigies” in paragraph 2
A．Geniuses. B．Caregivers.
C．Musicians. D．Trainees.
33．According to Malcolm Gladwell, what is the key to mastering a skill
A．Talent. B．Curiosity.
C．Age. D．Exercise.
34．What is a feature of the top-performing adults according to the new study
A．They usually stand out in childhood.
B．They often have a variety of interests.
C．They enjoy early specialized training.
D．They set ambitious goals at an early age.
35．What might Fred Oswald suggest parents do
A．Allow their kids to start specialized training early.
B．Put top priority on a couple of music instruments.
C．Encourage their kids to select a couple of interests.
D．Sign up their kids for as many activities as possible.
Older people who are particularly at risk of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) disease could slow their cognitive (认知) decline by taking just 3,000 steps a day. 36 However, it could be linked to the impact of regular exercise on inflammation (炎症) or blood flow to the brain. Previous studies that link regular exercise to reduced cognitive decline have mostly relied on people recalling their activity levels but have rarely explored why staying active may have this effect.
To address such limitations, Wai-Ying Wendy Yau at Harvard University and her co-workers analysed the physical activity of 296 cognitively healthy people, who wore step-tracking devices for one week to objectively measure their activity levels. 37 Most of the participants had their brain imaged to reveal their baseline levels of misfolded proteins called tau (tau蛋白) and beta-amyloid, gathering of which is thought to cause Alzheimer’s. The participants also completed annual cognitive tests that assessed things like their memory and how quickly they processed information. 38 They found that, among the participants with above-average levels of misfolded beta-amyloid in their brain at the start, taking between 3,000 and 5,000 steps per day seemed to greatly slow the build-up of misfolded tau, but not beta-amyloid.
“ 39 This activity level showed 54% slower cognitive decline than inactivity,” says Yau.
The researchers didn’t explore exactly how regular exercise may have these effects, but it could be due to physical activity reducing inflammation. 40
A．What was the result
B．A simple walk can fight diseases.
C．The tests were not easy to complete.
D．These people were aged between 50 and 90.
E．Exercise may also boost blood flow to the brain.
F．Why this step count might have this effect is unclear.
G．Walking 5,000 to 7,500 steps daily further reduces tau build-up.
三、完形填空
What started as a peaceful day off for Sarasota County lifeguard Landon Lacy turned into a dramatic life-saving mission. On May 30, Lacy was 41 his leisure time at Venice Beach when he noticed a person rushing toward the ocean carrying flotation devices.

67．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。
I held my purse tightly as I rushed into my neighborhood Starbucks. The rich smell of freshly made coffee filled the air, but I paid no attention my eyes were fixed on the shelf where the limited edition bear cups should have been. But it was empty! My heart sank, but I walked straight to the register.
“Do you have any more of those bear cups in the warehouse ” I asked, leaning forward. That cup was for my sick niece, who’d been begging for it for weeks.
The server, a young woman with a name tag reading “Lila”, gave a polite but apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. They’re selling very fast — we sell out within hours of getting a new shipment. We’ll have a new delivery on Friday, though. I can put your name and number down to set one aside for you.”
My patience broke. I hit my hand on the counter and said, “No! That’s impossible!” My voice was loud, drawing looks from every corner of the store. “From downtown to the suburbs, this is the ninth Starbucks I’ve been to today! Nine. And everyone says ‘sold out’! But I see them online for hundreds of dollars! You’re holding them back to resell, aren’t you !”
Lila’s smile faded, but her voice stayed steady. “Ma’am, I work fifty hours a week here. The last thing I want is to bring a Starbucks cup home. We don’t keep any back — first-come, first-served. Even regular customers struggle to get one. Can I get you a drink or something to eat Our lemon loaf just came out warm.”
Anger made my cheeks burn. “Forget it!” I hit both hands on the counter harder, then turned around and rushed out. The doorbell rang sharply behind me. As I walked away, guilt washed over me — I’d totally overreacted, but I was so desperate to see my niece smile.

W: Yes, you can afford to go skiing now! In fact, ski holidays are on the rise in the UK. That’s because more and more people find it just easy to book a last-minute ski trip thanks to online booking platforms like Sunweb. On Sunweb, you spend only 159 on a ski trip that lasts for a whole week. To take your dream ski trip at a low cost, use the following tips.
First, choosing the right time of year to plan your trip could make a big difference to the overall cost. While you might think that traveling during term-time is key to great ski deals, there are actually cheaper offers for the school holidays on Sunweb. It can help you save up a lot of money.
Second, you may think that the early birds have already caught the greatest deals for the new ski season. In fact, websites like Sunweb offer competitive prices to those who booked trips within just six weeks of travel.
Lastly, when it comes to packing properly for the snow, remember that skiing isn’t about fashion — it’s about being practical.

66．One possible version:
The Power of Body Language
Body language plays a vital role in our daily communication. It not only helps express our feelings and attitudes but also makes what we say more vivid and convincing. For example, a warm smile conveys friendliness, and steady eye contact builds trust.
However, body language varies across cultures. In some countries, a thumbs-up indicates approval, but in others, it may be offensive. Similarly, nodding usually means “yes” in many cultures, yet in parts of Greece and Bulgaria, it can mean “no”. Therefore, understanding these differences is key to effective cross-cultural communication.
67．One possible version:
The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. Lila was taking an order when she saw me; she nodded gently, indicating she’d be with me soon. When she came over, I lowered my head slightly and said, “Lila, I’m truly sorry for yelling at you yesterday. I was really overwhelmed — my niece is sick, and I just wanted to make her happy.” She smiled, “I understand. Family matters most. I’ll keep one for you. Could you leave your phone number so I can call you when it comes in ”I quickly wrote it down, thanking her repeatedly.
Three days later, my phone rang. It was Lila, her warm voice coming through: “Hi, this is Lila from Starbucks. The bear cup you wanted has arrived.” A surge of joy filled me, and I thanked her again. I rushed to the store right away, and when I saw the neatly placed bear cup on the counter, I knew my niece’s wish would come true. Taking the cup gently in my hands, I was already looking forward to seeing my niece’s bright smile. It was Lila’s kindness that had turned my anxiety into relief.
