【答案】Dear Martin,
I’m delighted to hear that you and your family are coming to China to experience our Spring Festival. The main custom of the festival is the New Year’s Eve dinner, where families gather to feast on symbolic dishes like dumplings, which represent wealth and luck, especially in the north. In the south, people prefer tangyuan—sweet rice balls symbolizing unity.
For my hometown specialty, I must insist that you and your family try Peking Duck. The duck is hung and flame-roasted, shaved into slices, dipped in sweet flour sauce, and wrapped inside a paper-thin pancake. I bet it will be an unforgettable experience for you and your family.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】例文
“Lift her legs a bit more,” Mr. Thompson directed. He wrapped an emergency blanket around her. “Keep talking to her — anything to keep her awake.” Sophie, Josh and I took turns telling jokes that made Lily groan despite the pain. Her faint laughter was the sweetest sound. But as the air grew colder, her grip weakened. “Stay with us,” Mr. Thompson urged. “Tell us about Tokyo’s cherry blossoms,” I added softly. She described busy markets and pink skies, struggling to stay conscious.
At last, the ambulance arrived. The paramedics checked our work and nodded. “Great job — you stabilized her perfectly.” Lily squeezed my hand weakly before they carried her away. Three weeks later, she returned to class, slightly lame but bright. She placed a paper crane on my desk. “In Japan, this crane stands for healing. You helped me hold on.” Deeply moved, I decided then that I would always be someone who help people stand up again when they fall.绝密★启用前

Yes, There’s a Museum for That!
Museums have changed. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone. The following are some of the most fascinating museums based on their community importance, level of enjoyment, and the beauty of the collections.
Museum of Motherhood (MOM)
St. Petersburg, Florida
The Museum of Motherhood is the first of its kind — a museum and educational center covering the art, science and history of mothers.
“I watched a couple of kids from the local high school try on the pregnancy vests groaning (抱怨),” says museum founder Martha Joy Rose. “Within five minutes, they begged to take them off.”
National Comedy Center (NCC)
Jamestown, New York
Based in Lucille Ball’s hometown, this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt and Joan Rivers’s card catalog of 65,000 jokes.
“Before visitors go through the entrance, they create their ‘sense of humor profile,’” says executive director Journey Gunderson. “They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.”
Museum of Bad Art (MOBA)
Boston, Massachusetts
MOBA collects, exhibits and celebrates art that will be shown in no other museum. The museum’s new location, in the Dorchester Brewing Co., assumes visitors would need a drink after seeing this work.
Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers, a painting found in 1993 leaning against a trash bin, waiting for garbage collection. A low point — and a must-see — is the painting Our Lady of Endless Housework.
4. What can be the main purpose of Museum of Motherhood
A. To build social bonds among teenagers.
B. To offer parenting guidance for mothers.
C. To showcase art work created by mothers.
D. To deepen societal appreciation for motherhood.
5. How does NCC personalize their visitors’ experiences
A. By using visitor preferences. B. By introducing wine industry.
C. By surveying the visitors’ needs. D. By applying interactive technology.
6. What do these museums have in common
A. They grow out of unique ideas. B. They focus on community values.
C. They house priceless cultural treasures. D. They aim to refine artistic sensibilities.
Humans cannot possibly survive without a handful of things. Water, undoubtedly, is one of the most important. Regarding our total dependence on water for survival, have you ever wondered if other creatures also depend on water so much Let’s narrow down the kind of “creatures” to fish. This may sound a bit strange, but do fish feel thirsty too
This question is interesting because it is about “thirst”. Humans show this in different degrees (it can be just a little or I-can-wolf-the-whole-bowl-down). Thirst is an altogether different thing when we’re talking about creatures that live in water for most of their lives. Think of it this way: how would you ever feel hungry if you lived inside a pizza Similarly, how can fish feel a strong need to drink water when they are practically surrounded by water all the time
However, it’s not as simple as that. Both freshwater and seawater fish show different behaviors when it comes to actively drinking water. Freshwater fish have blood with a higher concentration (浓度) of salt than the water they are surrounded by. Therefore, they run a high risk of having their blood diluted (稀释) if they drink water. This is why they don’t actively drink water to keep the balance of salt and water inside their bodies. Since the salt concentration in the blood of seawater fish is lower than the water they are surrounded by, they are often threatened by dehydration (脱水), so they actively drink water. Thanks to the impressive design of their gills (鳃), they can drink saltwater, process it and then remove the extra salt from their bodies.
Actually, thirst, in fish, is more of a simple response that happens without requiring a thoughtful decision on their part (unlike humans); it just happens. Fish don’t necessarily have to feel thirsty in order to drink water. They don’t have that need to drink water after a hard round of exercise, or after walking across town on a hot, sunny day. One less thing to worry about!
7. What does the underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refer to
A. The feeling of thirst. B. The question about fish.
C. The need to live inside water. D. The ability to drink a whole bowl of water.
8. What can be inferred about fish’s behaviors
A. Seawater fish drink water to increase the salt level in their blood.
B. Seawater fish drink water to avoid losing water from their bodies.
C. Freshwater fish don’t drink water because they are threatened by losing water.
D. Freshwater fish don’t drink water because they take in enough water through their skin.
9. Which of the following can best describe thirst in fish
A. A mental need. B. An unusual feeling. C. A natural reaction. D. A thoughtful choice.
10. What is the most suitable title for the text
A. Why Is Water Important B. Do Fish Get Thirsty
C. How Are Fish Different D. How Do Fish Process Saltwater
Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons (神经元) in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits (回路) in the brain are known to play a role in monitoring food intake, the neurons in those circuits do not make the final decision to cease eating a meal.
How does the brain know when the body has had enough and how does it act on that information to stop eating Alexander Nectow, a physician-scientist at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and his team member, Srikanta Chowdhury, used new single-cell techniques that make it possible to peer into a region of the brain and discern different types of cells that until now have been difficult to distinguish from one another.
During their profiling of a brainstem (脑干) region known for processing complex signals, the researchers spotted previously unrecognized cells that had similar characteristics to other neurons involved in regulating appetite. To see how the neurons influenced eating,the researchers engineered the neurons so they could be turned on and off by the researchers with light.
When the neurons were activated by the light, the mice ate much smaller meals. The intensity of the activation determined how quickly animals stopped eating. “Interestingly, these neurons don’t just signal an immediate stop; they help the mice to slow down their eating gradually,” said Chowdhury.
The researchers also looked at how other eating circuits and hormones affected the neurons. The researchers found that the neurons were silenced by a hormone that increases appetite and activated by a GLP-1 agonist, a class of drugs now popular for treating obesity and diabetes. These experiments found that these inputs helped the neurons track each bite the mice took.
“Essentially, these neurons can smell food, see food, feel food in the mouth and in the gut (肠道), and interpret all the gut hormones that are released in response to eating,” said Nectow. “And ultimately, they leverage all of this information to decide when enough is enough.”
11. What is the main function of the specialized neurons found in mice’s brains
A. Helping mice digest. B. Making mice feel full.
C. Choosing what mice eat. D. Monitoring mice’s energy intake.
12. What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Illustrate. B. Combine. C. Recognize. D. Analyze.
13. How did researchers know the effect of the new neurons on eating behavior
A. By observing the mice’s eating habits.
B. By comparing the mice’s weight changes.
C. By engineering the neurons in the mice’s bodies.
D. By controlling the light connected to the neurons.
14. Which can be the best title for the text
A. New Techniques in Brain Cell Research
B. The Impact of Light on Controlling Eating
C. The Role of Hormones in Appetite Regulation
D. Brain Cells Which Tell You When to Stop Eating

六、读后续写
46. 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。
The scorching sun beat down on our sixth — grade class hiking through Blue Mountains. Mr. Thompson, our outdoor education teacher, kept reminding us: “Drink water, watch your footing, and remember-every scratch here could become a life lesson.”
My best mate Josh chuckled, balancing his water bottle like a circus act. “Relax, Em! We’ve done CPR drills a million times. What’s the worst that could —”
A sharp cry cut through the air.
Twenty meters ahead, Lily-the quiet exchange student from Japan-had stumbled into a dried riverbed. Her leg was pinned beneath a pointed rock, blood soaking through her trousers. “I... I think I heard a crack,” she whispered, her face ghostly pale.
Mr. Thompson knelt beside her, his voice steady but urgent. “Lily, don’t move. Everyone else-backpacks off! Josh, get the first aid kit. Emily, find two straight branches for splints (夹板). Now!”
My hands shook as I pressed a bandage against Lily’s wound. Josh froze, staring at the odd angle of her leg. “Focus!” Mr. Thompson snapped, his tone softening as he addressed Lily. “You’re doing brilliantly. Breathe slowly. Help’s coming.”
He turned to us, rapid — firing instructions:
“Josh-control bleeding. Use the pressure bandage from the yellow pouch.”
“Emily-stabilize the leg. Remember the ‘above and below’ rule for splint placement.”
“Sophie-call emergency services. GPS coordinates (坐标) are on my watch.”
Lily gripped my wrist as I positioned the branches. “Will I... walk again ” Her whisper sent chills down my spine.
“Of course you will,” I lied, recalling last week’s first — aid lecture: Broken bones risk infection. Immobilization is critical. I tightened the bandages, whispering apologies each time she screamed.
As dusk approached, the radio crackled with bad news — Ambulance needs 90 minutes. Josh suddenly lunged toward the first aid kit. “Her lips are turning blue! What if it’s shock ”
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Lift her legs a bit more,” Mr. Thompson directed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At last, the ambulance arrived.
