第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
To celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, we highly recommend four films about war.
Schindler’s List (1993)
The film tells the true story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who risked everything to save over 1,200 Jews from the horrors of Nazi. Shot in contrasting black and white, it vividly captures the cruelty and sufferings of the war, emphasizes the value of every human life and offers an insightful reflection on the power of good.
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Set in 1944 Normandy, the film hits home with the bloody opening scene of Omaha Beach. Captain Miller led a team to rescue Private Ryan, whose three brothers were all killed in the war. The shaky camera movements create a realistic sense of chaos, urgency and violence. Overall, the film is a profound exploration of the meaning of war, human nature and the value of life.
The Pianist (2002)
Based on a true story, the film portrays a Polish-Jewish pianist’s survival from the war. Unlike other war films, it focuses on the pianist’s intense and desperate fight for existence instead of grand heroism, showing the weakness of life and the strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable horror. Its realistic portrayal of war and the strategic use of silence and pauses make it a timeless cinematic experience.
Dunkirk (2017)
The film focuses on the withdrawal of Allied soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk in May and June 1940. The film captures the desperation of the trapped soldiers and the bravery of the civilian and military personnel who came to their rescue. The director artfully tells three stories at the same time and uses wide sweeping shots to make the audience feel as if they were at the scene.
1. What is the common theme of Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan
A. The value of life. B. The love of country.
C. The power of good. D. The weakness of life.
2. Which film focuses on an individual’s desperate struggle for survival in the war
A. Schindler’s List. B. The Pianist.
C. Saving Private Ryan. D. Dunkirk.
3. What technique is used in Dunkirk
A. Silence and pauses. B. Wide sweeping shots.
C. Black-and-white cinematography. D. Shaky camera movements.
B
At age 15, Zhao Yicheng has taken the speed climbing community by storm following his two stunning climbs of 4.68 and 4.65 seconds — unofficially faster than US athlete Sam Watson’s 4.74-second world record set at last year’s Paris Olympics.
Zhao’s record-breaking moment happened during a trial event for China’s national team on March 26. Since the event was not approved by the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC), his achievement was not officially recognized. Nevertheless, evidently Zhao has emerged as one of China’s most promising speed climbers.
Born in 2009 in Suzhou, Zhao’s journey with speed climbing began at age 5, when a friend dragged him to a climbing gym. What started as a weekly hobby soon occupied his weekends. By 9, he had already won medals at multiple youth events. After winning the 2023 IFSC Youth World Championships in Seoul, South Korea, Zhao had to choose between school and sports. At that time, he was a top middle school student, but he chose to dedicate four to eight years to speed climbing to see how far he could go.
In September 2023, Zhao joined the Shanghai speed climbing team. During the 2023-24 winter camp, his times improved from 5.4 seconds to 4.99, reaching the “sub-five” milestone. He kept that strong momentum in the 2024 season, clocking 4.93 seconds to win the national speed climbing championships in September.
Zhao credits his quick progress to scientific training and active thinking. After his first winter training camp with the national team, he emerged transformed. “The team’s environment pushed me to train smarter. The nation’s best climbers are here, and every session demands your absolute best,” said Zhao. Between training sessions, Zhao reads history books, sci-fi stories, and a biography of basketball legend Kobe Bryant. When he can’t sleep, he watches climbing videos to study others’ movements. “Climbing isn’t just physical. It’s a mental game. Without active thinking, you can’t reach the top level in any sport,” Zhao said.
For now, age rules stop Zhao from competing in international events, but he sees the delay as an opportunity to improve his performance. “Next year, I’ll compete internationally in peak form to strive for honor for my country,” he told Xinhua.
4. Why were Zhao Yicheng’s record-breaking climbs not officially recognized
A. Because the event was not officially admitted by the IFSC.
B. Because he was too young to qualify for world records.
C. Because his times were slower than Sam Watson’s record.
D. Because he competed in a national championship instead.
5. What can be inferred about Zhao’s decision to focus on speed climbing over school
A. He wanted to break records immediately.
B. He focused on his passion despite being a top student.
C. His family pressured him to pursue sports professionally.
D. He struggled academically and needed an alternative path.
6. According to Zhao, what contributed to his rapid improvement in speed climbing
A. Natural talent.
B. Support from his school teachers.
C. International competition experience.
D. Well-organized training and mental discipline.
7. Which of the following can best describe Zhao Yicheng
A. Hardworking and ambitious. B. Patient and creative.
C. Talented and selfless. D. Brave and strong-willed.
You might see loneliness as someone(usually an old person) sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window. Such images are deceptive. Researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people, and such images of solitude (孤独) don’t match the experience of loneliness during youth. Those years are typically spent surrounded by other people, at school or at work.
Loneliness during youth can be defined as a negative feeling about a difference between the relationships we have and those we want. This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don’t feel they understand us or share common interests with us. Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and rethink our relationships so that we can build(or seek out) the ones that; mean the most to us.
There are certain features of youth that tend to give rise to loneliness. In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support. Research shows that young people have higher expectations of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends. When we consider that loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe within our social world, it makes sense that the feeling like “we do not ‘fit-in’ ” as so many young people feel, gives rise to loneliness. Another reason is our developing sense of self discovering who we are. That often means changes to values or beliefs. It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the same path as you. Young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But when there are difficulties at home—such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members—these can make the feeling of loneliness worse.
If you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. It is likely that you have not yet found the strategy that works for you. Here are some practical steps you can try, starting with what you can do on your own and moving on to ways to connect with others.
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 1
A. unrelated B. unfortunate C. shameful D. misleading
9. What does loneliness of young people usually refer to
A. Not having a preference for dealing with tough things alone.
B. Not having friends or family in company when in trouble.
C. Not having interest in others’ school life with in the social world.
D. Not having positive attitude to the present relationships with others.
10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason of young people’s loneliness
A. Difficulties at home. B. Unfamiliar environments.
C. Lack of interactions with friends. D. Discovery of self-identity.
11 What will the text probably talk about next
A. Suggestions on how to beat loneliness.
B. More reasons that cause the feeling of loneliness.
C. Strategies to deal with the arguments or tension in family.
D. Ways to face the departure of supportive family members.
Dog owners often believe that their pets understand commands such as “sit” and “stay”, and even associate words with their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that.
But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding, which would suggest a deeper understanding of language, like the kind that humans have.
A recent study conducted in Hungary appearing in Current Biology, explores this issue. It involved 18 dogs and employed a non-invasive EEG procedure to measure their brain activity. Researchers played audio clips of their owners saying the names of objects, such as “ball” or “frisbee”, and then showed the dogs either the corresponding object or a different one to see if dogs would show a distinct brain response when the object matched the word compared to when it did not.
Boros, a co-lead writer of the study, said “A different brain pattern appeared when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word compared to when it did not, indicating that they might create a mental image of the object upon hearing its name. That was previously unproven.”
Lilla Magyari, another co-lead writer, noted that while other animals have shown some level of referential understanding, they often require extensive training. In contrast, the study suggests that in dogs, such abilities appear to be inborn and require no special training or talent. This finding supports that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans.
Despite the study’s promising results, some experts are skeptical. Clive Wynne from Arizona State University argued on Facebook that the study only demonstrates dogs’ responses to stimuli (刺激物), rather than an understanding of specific words. He doubts whether dogs grasp the exact meaning of words.
Scientists believe the first dogs began to be kept by humans up to 30,000 years ago. The animals have lived closely alongside us ever since. However, whether this long history of cohabitation contributed to their ability to understand referential language remains an open question.
12. What does “referential understanding” refer to
A. Associating words with emotions. B. Responding actively to commands.
C. Forming mental images of objects. D. Learning objects through training.
13. How did researchers test dogs’ brain responses
A. By using different audio tones. B. By adjusting shapes of objects.
C. By matching objects with words. D. By comparing different objects.
14. Which does Clive Wynne agree with about the study
A. It overestimates dogs’ cognitive abilities.
B. It is widely accepted by the scientific field.
C. It proves dogs know specific words very well.
D. It provides a new insight about dogs’ evolution.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A. What dog owners’ belief about their pets is.
B. What dogs’ response to the different objects is.
C. Whether we can train dogs to follow commands.
D. Whether referential understanding exists in Dogs.

Summer vacation was coming. Andy and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.
Andy and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!”
Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with-all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and couldn’t stand up without any help. But Grandpa declared stubbornly(倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once an intelligent explorer. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs... How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. Then a bright idea came to Andy’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!”
Berlin thought it was a good idea. With the tools fetched from the backyard, they returned to the forest to search for an appropriate young tree for a cane. Hardly had they selected one when they got started with their BIG PROJECT. Andy, the elder brother, took on the job of cutting it down, while Berlin, who was younger and more creative, was responsible for decoration. Hard as it might seem to them, they never thought about quitting. After what seemed a long time, an elegant and tough cane appeared. Both of them were more than satisfied with their work and couldn’t wait to rush home.
注意：1.续写词数应为80左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa.
