Tomb Sweeping

We often hear honesty is the best policy,and no one likes to be called a liar.But is dishonesty always wrong
Not necessarily.
According to psychologists,there are two types of lies:Lies that help your relationships and the people around you are called pro-social lies;and lies that hurt them are called antisocial lies.
How often have you clicked “Like” online,not because you actually like what your friends posted,but because you want to show your support This white lie is an example of a pro-social lie.But when people tell lies on social networks to make their own lives seem more exciting,or to make others jealous,this is antisocial lying.
Workplace lies range from harmless lies to destructive untruthful statements.An example of a pro-social workplace lie is complimenting someone on his or her presentation—even though it was only average —because you know he or she was nervous beforehand.In this case,your intention is simply to protect your colleague’s feelings.However,people sometimes tell bigger lies at work for the purpose of avoiding blame or to stay on the boss’s good side.These are antisocial lies.They are antisocial because your boss is likely to discover the truth and as a result,will probably stop trusting you.
Lying is also a significant part of the natural world.So it’s little wonder we resort to it almost reflexively.Human babies sometimes pretend to cry,check to see if anyone is listening,and then start crying again.By the age of five,children learn to say things that are completely untrue,and most nine-year-olds have mastered keeping secrets to protect themselves.
Lying can be incredibly harmful to our relationships and to the people around us.But that’s only true for antisocial lies.Pro-social lies have the opposite effect — they can actually help us.
(　　)4. What may help us tell a pro-social lie from an antisocial lie
A.The purpose it serves.
B.The way it is told.
C.The occasion where it is told.
D.The people it is told to.
(　　)5. Why does the author mention bigger lies at work
A.Because they tend to avoid blame or to stay on the boss’s good side.
B.Because they prove that workplace lies can be destructive.
C.Because they show the intention of protecting others.
D.Because they help with hiding the truth.
(　　)6.Which statement is supported by the passage
A.We usually tell pro-social lies to protect our own feelings.
B.Lying always hurts both the liar and the person being lied to.
C.Lying on social media is pro-social,but face-to-face lying isn’t.
D.Sometimes,making people feel good benefits more than telling the absolute truth.
(　　)7.What’s the text intended to do
A. To warn that lies could harm us.
B.To make it clear that lying is a second nature.
C.To persuade that there are some lies that we need to tell.
D.To remind that honesty is the best policy.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了谎言的两种类型:一种是有助于你的人际关系和周围人的亲社会谎言,另一种是伤害他人的反社会谎言。
答案及剖析:
4.A　推理判断题。根据第五段的第二、第三句可知,职场上亲社会谎言的一个例子是称赞某人的表现,因为你知道他或她之前很紧张。在这种情况下,你的意图只是保护同事的情感。根据第五段的第四、第五句可知,然而,人们有时会在工作中说更大的谎言,目的是避免受到指责或保持老板的好感。这些都是反社会谎言。由此可推知,说谎行为的目的可以帮助我们区分亲社会谎言和反社会谎言。故选A。

6.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,亲社会谎言实际上有助于我们的人际关系,保护周围人的情感不受伤害,由此可推知,作者会同意“有时候,让人们感觉良好比说出真相更有好处”。故选D。
7.C　推理判断题。根据第一、第二段内容可知,我们经常听说诚实是上策,没有人喜欢被称为骗子。但不诚实总是错的吗 不一定。结合最后一段内容可知,作者认为有时候有必要说谎,亲社会谎言实际上有助于我们的人际关系,保护周围人的情感不受伤害。由此可推知,文章的目的在于说服我们相信有些谎言是我们需要说的。故选C。
C

A moon crystal found by China is giving scientists hope of providing limitless power for Earth forever.
The moon crystal has a key ingredient (成分) for the nuclear fusion (核聚变) process,a form of power production that controls the same forces that supply energy for the sun and other stars in space.The crystal was found in the matter collected from the moon in 2020 and makes China the third country to discover new moon matter.
One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3,which scientists believe may provide an ever-growing energy source for nuclear fusion reactors.The ingredient is hardly seen on Earth,but it seems to be fairly common on the moon.China launched Chang’e 6 in 2024,which attempted to collect the first samples (样品) from the other side of the moon — which never faces Earth.
For years,scientists have been attracted by helium-3 and its possible source of energy for nuclear fusion.Nuclear fusion reactions happen naturally,when two light atoms crash into a heavier one,under extreme pressure and heat.They take place inside stars,but humans have yet to create a fusion reactor with enough energy to start the process.
Helium-3 is promising as it produces less radiation and nuclear waste than other ingredients,according to the European Space Agency.The present nuclear fission (核裂变) process used in nuclear power plants,delivers not only energy but radioactivity,and the used nuclear energy must be reprocessed into harmful chemicals and other waste.It’s a process that has raised serious safety concerns,and as a result,scientists have been searching for a way to create nuclear power from nuclear fusion,rather than fission.During the fusion process,radioactive waste is not produced,possibly making a safer energy source.
Many countries hope to mine the moon for helium-3,and this latest discovery could start the race.
(　　)12.Which part of a website is the text probably taken from
A.Travel. B.Space.
C.Geography. D.Education.
(　　)13.What did the Chang’e 6 project in 2024 focus on
A.Energy sources for other stars.
B.Ingredients of the crystal found.
C.Pictures of the backside of the moon.
D.Samples from the far side of the moon.
(　　)14.Why do the scientists prefer nuclear fusion to nuclear fission
A.Due to its value.
B.Due to its safety.
C.Due to its quick process.
D.Due to its little waste.
(　　)15.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.China Discovers Moon Crystal
B.China Joins in Space Exploration
C.China’s Efforts to Mine the Moon
D.China’s Projects to Explore the Moon

That is:You only get paid in full when you complete the job properly.

语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了给孩子零用钱的作用和方法。
答案及剖析:
16.E　上文“Giving your children money can help them to make money decisions.”提到他们作出关于钱的决定,下文“or save it up for something bigger”为选择的一种决定。由此可推知,设空处内容应为另一种关于钱的决定。E项起承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选E。
17.A　上文“Which jobs you pay for... from family to family.”以及后两段的内容在谈给孩子零用钱的方法。由此可知,设空处内容应为这里有一些有关给孩子零用钱的建议。A项起承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选A。
18.G　上文“Family jobs... and tidying their room.”谈到孩子做了哪些家务劳动可以不给钱。结合下文“like sorting,washing,or sweeping the floors”可推知,设空处内容应为应该给孩子付费的是哪些家务劳动。G项与上下文紧密连接,符合语境。故选G。
19.B　下文“That is:You only get paid in full when you complete the job properly.”说明了获得全额报酬的规则。B项与上下文紧密连接,下文是对设空处内容的具体解释,下文中的That指的是B项中的“a lesson”。故选B。
20.C　设空处位于该段句首,故设空处内容应引领该段内容。下文讲的是了解其他父母的做法可以帮助你制定一个适合你的家庭的制度。C项总结该段内容,符合语境。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的
短文。
It’s hard being an astronaut’s son.I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me.I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does.But I’m just an average eleven-year-old kid.
Nowadays I dream about being a famous writer,but I used to dream about doing something special to impress my father and make him proud of me—something like rescuing a child from a burning building.
I was dreaming in school one morning,which I often do.I was daydreaming about being some kind of hero when my friend Ellen reminded me of my English teacher’s announcement about a Father’s Day essay contest.
“I hope we have winners right here in my English class,” she said.“There are three prizes for each of you.”
When I got home,I kissed my mum quickly.Then I went upstairs to my room and sat down with a pen and a pad of paper.I started to think about what I would write.
How did I see my father Mmm...
I saw him teaching me how to use a bat and how to throw baseball.
I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was hit by a car.
And I remembered how he sat and tried to explain death to me when Grandpa Bob died.
　　These were the things I was going to write about my dad.To me,he wasn’t just a famous astronaut.He was my dad.
I wrote about all these memories and put them in my essay.I handed it in the next day and was surprised to find out that the winning essays would be read in the lecture hall on Thursday night.All the parents and students were invited.
My parents and I went to school on Thursday night.One of our neighbours said,“I bet you’ll win the contest,David.I bet you wrote what it’s like to be the son of an astronaut,and you’re the only one in town who could write about that.”
　　注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
I shrugged and then the first prize winner—Ellen was announced.
Paragraph 2:
Surprised and thrilled,I went up to the stage.

When On a Thursday night
Where In the lecture hall of my school
What I wrote an essay about my father for a Father’s Day essay contest.Instead of writing about my father’s fame as an astronaut,I wrote about personal experiences and moments shared with my father that made me feel special and loved.
Theme The relationship between father and son and personal identity
Conflict & Clue Conflict:①I felt ordinary compared to my exceptional father. ②I wanted my father’s recognition but was unsure if my writing can adequately convey my deep feelings for him. Clue:①My English teacher announced a Father’s Day essay contest. ②To me,he wasn’t just a famous astronaut.He was my dad. ③One of our neighbours said,“I bet you’ll win the contest,David.I bet you wrote what it’s like to be the son of an astronaut,and you’re the only one in town who could write about that.”
Para.1 I shrugged and then the first prize winner—Ellen was announced. Q1:What did I feel about the announcement Q2:What did Ellen do and what was my parents’ response Q3:What happened at last before I went up to the stage
Para.2 Surprised and thrilled,I went up to the stage. Q1:What would I do and say on the stage Q2:What was my dad’s response Q3:What lesson did I get from the experience
One possible version:
I shrugged and then the first prize winner—Ellen was announced.Though I was deep down and didn’t want to win just because my father was an astronaut,I was relieved and disappointed at the same time at the news.When Ellen read to the end,I heard a chorus of praise and saw tears running down her parents’ face.Somehow,a mixed feeling welled up in me.Will Dad feel disappointed Maybe I should have written about being the son of an astronaut.Then the second prize winner was announced.To my amazement,it was me!
Surprised and thrilled,I went up to the stage.Taking a deep breath,I started to read my essay “My Father’s Son”. “He is a great astronaut.But more importantly,he is a great father to me.”Upon my finishing reading,the auditorium thundered with applause.When I went back to my seat,Dad put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,this is the proudest moment of my life,” he almost sobbed.It was the proudest moment of my life,too.Maybe I’ll never be a great hero,but just then,it was enough just to be my father’s son.

The Qingming Festival,also called the Tomb Sweeping Day,usually falls on April 4 or 5.It is time for people to go outside and start enjoying the greenery of spring.There are various activities for the Qingming Festival in China.
Tomb Sweeping
People show respect for their ancestors or departed relatives by visiting their tombs,offering food,tea or wine,burning incense (焚香),burning or offering “paper money”,etc.They sweep the tombs,remove weeds,and add fresh soil to the tombs.They might stick willow (柳树) branches,flowers,or plastic plants on the tombs.
Spring Outing
The Qingming Festival is a good time to feel the breath of spring.It is also called the Taqing Festival.Taqing means a spring outing in Chinese,when people get out and enjoy the spring flowers.The festival usually falls on a day not long before everything turns green in the north of China,and well into the spring flower season in the south of China.It marks the beginning of the season when people spend more time outside as the weather warms up.
Kite Flying
Flying kites is also an important custom in China,enjoyed by many people,young and old.However,the uniqueness of kite flying during the Qingming Festival lies in that kites are not only flown during the day but also in the evening.Little coloured lanterns are tied to the kites or to the strings that hold the kites.When kites fly in the evening,the lanterns look like shining stars.
(　　)1.Why do people visit the tombs of their ancestors or departed relatives on the Qingming Festival

B.Because they want to enjoy the grass and flowers in the wild.
C.Because they want to show respect for their ancestors or departed relatives.
D.Because they want to have a get-together with their late relatives.
(　　)2.What can we know about the spring season in China

B.It ends when the festival comes.
C.Southerners experience it earlier.
D.The weather begins to cool down.
(　　)3.What is special about kite flying during the Qingming Festival

We often hear honesty is the best policy,and no one likes to be called a liar.But is dishonesty always wrong
Not necessarily.
According to psychologists,there are two types of lies:Lies that help your relationships and the people around you are called pro-social lies;and lies that hurt them are called antisocial lies.
How often have you clicked “Like” online,not because you actually like what your friends posted,but because you want to show your support This white lie is an example of a pro-social lie.But when people tell lies on social networks to make their own lives seem more exciting,or to make others jealous,this is antisocial lying.
Workplace lies range from harmless lies to destructive untruthful statements.An example of a pro-social workplace lie is complimenting someone on his or her presentation—even though it was only average —because you know he or she was nervous beforehand.In this case,your intention is simply to protect your colleague’s feelings.However,people sometimes tell bigger lies at work for the purpose of avoiding blame or to stay on the boss’s good side.These are antisocial lies.They are antisocial because your boss is likely to discover the truth and as a result,will probably stop trusting you.
Lying is also a significant part of the natural world.So it’s little wonder we resort to it almost reflexively.Human babies sometimes pretend to cry,check to see if anyone is listening,and then start crying again.By the age of five,children learn to say things that are completely untrue,and most nine-year-olds have mastered keeping secrets to protect themselves.
Lying can be incredibly harmful to our relationships and to the people around us.But that’s only true for antisocial lies.Pro-social lies have the opposite effect — they can actually help us.
(　　)4. What may help us tell a pro-social lie from an antisocial lie
A.The purpose it serves.
B.The way it is told.
C.The occasion where it is told.
D.The people it is told to.
(　　)5. Why does the author mention bigger lies at work
A.Because they tend to avoid blame or to stay on the boss’s good side.
B.Because they prove that workplace lies can be destructive.
C.Because they show the intention of protecting others.
D.Because they help with hiding the truth.
(　　)6.Which statement is supported by the passage
A.We usually tell pro-social lies to protect our own feelings.
B.Lying always hurts both the liar and the person being lied to.
C.Lying on social media is pro-social,but face-to-face lying isn’t.
D.Sometimes,making people feel good benefits more than telling the absolute truth.
(　　)7.What’s the text intended to do
A. To warn that lies could harm us.
B.To make it clear that lying is a second nature.
C.To persuade that there are some lies that we need to tell.
D.To remind that honesty is the best policy.
C
In the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics process,hand-knitting (手工编织的) Chinese knot,a symbol of unity and happiness in Chinese context,was loved by people from many countries.It has a complex and graceful curve,but it can be reduced to the simple two-dimensional line.It displays fantasy and wisdom of the ancient Chinese civilisation.It has an elegant appeal which comes from the basic tools of human life in the beginning years.
Preparation of Chinese knot can be roughly divided into three categories:The basic knot,varying knot and combinatorial knot.Its knitting techniques,in addition to all the basic techniques,agree with a common principle of knitting and can be summarised as the basic techniques and combinatorial techniques.But the basic techniques use a single line,double line or lines to knit,or change the use of the parallel thread (线) to separate thread so as to make colourful knot or bow section.The combinatorial techniques use the extend of head and extended ear flap (耳帽),combine various knots flexibly,and complete pack of ever -changing knot ornaments (装饰).
To design a beautiful decorative knot,the most important thing is to determine what the knot will be used for.Accordingly,determine its size and shape,taking into account of the appropriate use of colour matching and accessories.The shape,colour and ornaments should suit each other.Do attach your own artistic beauty and deep emotion to it,which will be able to fully demonstrate the beauty of traditional Chinese art.
Long cultural heritage makes the Han ethnic Chinese knot techniques unique.Chinese knot not only has shape and colour beauty,but also gains its name because of its meaning,such as endless knot,caisson knot (藻井结) and double the money knot,reflecting the ancient Chinese cultural beliefs.It represents the pursuit of truth,goodness and beauty of good intentions.
(　　)8.What does Chinese knot represent in Chinese culture
A.Love and friendship.
B.Unity and happiness.
C.Grace and simplicity.
D.Fantasy and wisdom.
(　　)9.What’s the purpose of writing the second paragraph

D.To classify Chinese knot into categories.
(　　)10.What matters most in terms of designing a Chinese knot
A.Deciding its purpose.
B.Determining its shape.
C.Matching with colours.
D.Attaching artistic beauty.
(　　)11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about Chinese knot
A.Its inner beauty.

A moon crystal found by China is giving scientists hope of providing limitless power for Earth forever.
The moon crystal has a key ingredient (成分) for the nuclear fusion (核聚变) process,a form of power production that controls the same forces that supply energy for the sun and other stars in space.The crystal was found in the matter collected from the moon in 2020 and makes China the third country to discover new moon matter.
One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3,which scientists believe may provide an ever-growing energy source for nuclear fusion reactors.The ingredient is hardly seen on Earth,but it seems to be fairly common on the moon.China launched Chang’e 6 in 2024,which attempted to collect the first samples (样品) from the other side of the moon — which never faces Earth.
For years,scientists have been attracted by helium-3 and its possible source of energy for nuclear fusion.Nuclear fusion reactions happen naturally,when two light atoms crash into a heavier one,under extreme pressure and heat.They take place inside stars,but humans have yet to create a fusion reactor with enough energy to start the process.
Helium-3 is promising as it produces less radiation and nuclear waste than other ingredients,according to the European Space Agency.The present nuclear fission (核裂变) process used in nuclear power plants,delivers not only energy but radioactivity,and the used nuclear energy must be reprocessed into harmful chemicals and other waste.It’s a process that has raised serious safety concerns,and as a result,scientists have been searching for a way to create nuclear power from nuclear fusion,rather than fission.During the fusion process,radioactive waste is not produced,possibly making a safer energy source.
Many countries hope to mine the moon for helium-3,and this latest discovery could start the race.
(　　)12.Which part of a website is the text probably taken from
A.Travel. B.Space.
C.Geography. D.Education.
(　　)13.What did the Chang’e 6 project in 2024 focus on
A.Energy sources for other stars.
B.Ingredients of the crystal found.
C.Pictures of the backside of the moon.
D.Samples from the far side of the moon.
(　　)14.Why do the scientists prefer nuclear fusion to nuclear fission
A.Due to its value.
B.Due to its safety.
C.Due to its quick process.
D.Due to its little waste.
(　　)15.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.China Discovers Moon Crystal
B.China Joins in Space Exploration
C.China’s Efforts to Mine the Moon
D.China’s Projects to Explore the Moon

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的
短文。
It’s hard being an astronaut’s son.I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me.I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does.But I’m just an average eleven-year-old kid.
Nowadays I dream about being a famous writer,but I used to dream about doing something special to impress my father and make him proud of me—something like rescuing a child from a burning building.
I was dreaming in school one morning,which I often do.I was daydreaming about being some kind of hero when my friend Ellen reminded me of my English teacher’s announcement about a Father’s Day essay contest.
“I hope we have winners right here in my English class,” she said.“There are three prizes for each of you.”
When I got home,I kissed my mum quickly.Then I went upstairs to my room and sat down with a pen and a pad of paper.I started to think about what I would write.
How did I see my father Mmm...
I saw him teaching me how to use a bat and how to throw baseball.
I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was hit by a car.
And I remembered how he sat and tried to explain death to me when Grandpa Bob died.
　　These were the things I was going to write about my dad.To me,he wasn’t just a famous astronaut.He was my dad.
I wrote about all these memories and put them in my essay.I handed it in the next day and was surprised to find out that the winning essays would be read in the lecture hall on Thursday night.All the parents and students were invited.
My parents and I went to school on Thursday night.One of our neighbours said,“I bet you’ll win the contest,David.I bet you wrote what it’s like to be the son of an astronaut,and you’re the only one in town who could write about that.”
　　注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
I shrugged and then the first prize winner—Ellen was announced.
Paragraph 2:
Surprised and thrilled,I went up to the stage.
