Hachiko was an Akita Inu(秋田犬) who was born in 1923 in a county, Japan. A year later he became a gift for the daughter of a professor of Tokyo University. When the professor, Eisaburo Ueno, saw him for the first time, he realized that his legs were a little bent. They looked like the kanji(汉字) “八” that represents the number 8, which in Japanese is pronounced hachi, so he decided to name him Hachiko.
When Ueno’s daughter grew up, she married and went to live with her husband, leaving the dog behind. The professor liked him, so he decided to keep Hachi instead of giving him away.
Ueno went to work by train every day and Hachiko became his faithful companion. Every morning the dog accompanied his owner to the Shibuya train station and in the afternoon he went back to meet his owner when Ueno returned.
One day, while teaching at the university, Ueno suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage(脑溢血)which ended his life. However, Hachiko continued to wait for him at the Shibuya station.
Day after day Hachiko went to the station and waited for hours for his owner, looking for his face among the thousands of strangers passing by. These days turned into months and months and eventually into years. Hachiko waited tirelessly for his owner for nine long years. Through rain, snow or sunshine, he would appear at the exact tie his master’s train was due in the station.
The locals of Shibuya knew Hachiko and had regularly seen him with Professor Ueno. Due to the busyness of the station, many found it annoying to have the dog getting in the way. However, when they realized what had happened, they took charge of feeding and taking care of him while he waited in the door of the station.
Hachiko kept waiting for his owner who would never appear. After his death, where he waited for Ueno every day, in 1934, a statue of him was put up in front of the same train station.

According to a study published by the American Psychological Association, playing an instrument as a child keeps the mind sharper as we age.
The study, done at the University of Kansas Medical Center, elected 70 healthy adults between the ages 60 and 83, who were divided into groups based on their levels of musical experience. The musicians performed better in several cognitive(认知的) tests than individuals who had never studied an instrument or learned how to read music. The brain functions measured by the tests tend to go worse with age.
“Musical activity throughout life may serve as a challenging cognitive exercise, making your brain fitter and more capable of meeting the challenges of aging,” said lead researcher Brenda Hanna-Pladdy. “Since studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning, it may create connections in the brain that could make up for cognitive drop as we get older.”
“Music-making is connected to a number of health benefits for older adults” said Suzanne Hanser, chair of the music treatment department at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. “Research shows that making music can lower blood pressure, slow heart rate, reduce stress, and ease anxiety. There is also increasing evidence that making music enhances the immunological(免疫)response, which enables us to fight disease,” Hanser said. Hanser said that anyone, without considering age or ability, can make music and benefit from it.
“People are not only living longer these days; they want to remain healthy and active for as long as possible,” said Antoinette Follett, editor-in-chief of “Making Music” magazine. “Plus, there is an increasing focus in the medical community on the need to keep the brain as healthy as the body. This focus is as much about making the empty nest and retirement years fun and worthwhile as it is about preventing debilitating dementias(衰弱性痴呆) such as Alzheimer’s disease. Music making is able to do both.”
8. Among 4 healthy adults below who might perform better in the cognitive tests
A. A senior who used to teach reading.
B. An aged man who knew a musician.
C. A grandpa who often listened to music.
D. An old lady who enjoyed playing the guitar.
9. What does the underlined word “enhances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Disables. B. Frees. C. Improves. D. Operates.
10. What can we conclude according to the passage
A. Brain functions go worse with age.
B. Learning music is able to stop aging.
C. Music is beneficial to brain and body.
D. Playing an instrument can fight diseases.
11. In which part of a newspaper could this article probably be found
A. Culture. B. Art. C. Medicine. D. Health.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究：孩童时期学习乐器可以使人晚年时的大脑更加敏锐。此外，制作音乐还能增强免疫反应，帮助人们抵抗疾病。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“According to a study published by the American Psychological Association, playing an instrument as a child keeps the mind sharper as we age.(根据美国心理协会发表的一项研究，小时候演奏一种乐器可以让我们长大后思维更敏捷。)”可知，小时候演奏一种乐器可以让我们长大后思维更敏捷。因此弹吉他的老太太会在认知测试中表现得更好。因此D选项“An old lady who enjoyed playing the guitar.(一位喜欢弹吉他的老太太。)”符合文章内容。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“which enables us to fight disease(这能让我们能够对抗疾病)”可知，创作音乐能够增强免疫力，由此对抗我们的身体疾病。故划线词与C选项为同义词，意为“提升，促进”。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Since studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning, it may create connections in the brain that could make up for cognitive drop as we get older.( 由于学习一种乐器需要多年的练习和学习，它可能会在大脑中建立联系，弥补随着年龄增长而出现的认知能力下降)”可知，随着年龄的增长，大脑功能越来越差。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“According to a study published by the American Psychological Association, playing an instrument as a child keeps the mind sharper as we age.(根据美国心理协会发表的一项研究，小时候演奏一种乐器可以让我们长大后思维更敏捷。)”以及通读全文可知，文章介绍了一项研究：孩童时期学习乐器可以使人晚年时的大脑更加敏锐。此外，制作音乐还能增强免疫反应，帮助人们抵抗疾病，故推断文章出自于报纸中关于健康的部分。故选D。
D
A drought is a period of time when an area or region experiences below-normal rainfall. The lack of enough rainfall, either rain or snow, can cause reduced soil wetness or groundwater, diminished steam low (减少的水流), crop loss, and a general water shortage. Droughts are the second-most costly weather events after hurricanes.
The early effects of a drought maybe difficult to identify right away, so it may take weeks or months to determine that a drought has started. The end of a drought is hard to identify for the same reason. A drought may last for weeks, months, or even years. Sometimes, drought conditions can exist for ten years or more in a region. The longer a drought lasts, the greater the harmful effects it has on people.
Droughts affect people in several ways. Clean drinking water is significant for all life and sources of water may narrow during a drought. Without the presence of water, people must bring in enough water from elsewhere to survive. Water is also needed for crops to grow. When not enough rainfalls to naturally water crops, they must be watered by irrigation (灌溉). Irrigation is possible only when there is enough water in nearby rivers, lakes, or streams, or from groundwater. During a drought, these water sources are diminished and may even dry up, preventing crops from being irrigated and causing them to die off.
One person studying these problems is Alexandra Cousteau, a National Geographic Emerging Explorer whose latest plan is Blue Legacy. She started Blue Legacy to raise awareness that we live on a water planet and must take care of it. Cousteau, the granddaughter of the well-known ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau, believes that water will be a key issue in this century. She predicts that water problems such as drought, storms, floods, and degraded water quality will create “water refugees”, people moving in search of water. Cousteau stresses that we must do all we can to protect Earth’s valuable freshwater resources.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To introduce what a drought is. B. To compare droughts with hurricanes.
C. To explain why a drought occurs. D. To raise awareness of some disasters.
13. Among all disasters, what is special about droughts
A. They cause the greatest harms. B. They are hard to spot in no time.
C. They usually end for no reason. D. They influence people’s living.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. Crops cannot grow without water.
B. Irrigation is impossible during a drought.
C. There are many ways to prevent droughts.
D. Droughts influence living and agriculture.
15. Why is “water refugees” mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To popularize Blue Legacy.
B. To tell we live on a water planet.
C. To persuade people to look for water.
D. To stress the importance of water resource.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了什么是干旱、干旱的特点以及干旱的影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一自然段“A drought is a period of time when an area or region experiences below-normal rainfall. The lack of enough rainfall, either rain or snow, can cause reduced soil wetness or groundwater, diminished steam low (减少的水流), crop loss, and a general water shortage. Droughts are the second-most costly weather events after hurricanes. (干旱是指一个地区的降雨量低于正常水平的一段时间。缺乏足够的降雨，无论是雨还是雪，都可能导致土壤湿度或地下水减少、蒸汽量减少、作物损失和普遍缺水。干旱是仅次于飓风的第二大天气事件。)”可知，本段主要介绍了什么是干旱以及引起干旱的因素。因此第一段的作用是介绍什么是干旱。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二自然段“The early effects of a drought maybe difficult to identify right away, so it may take weeks or months to determine that a drought has started. The end of a drought is hard to identify for the same reason. A drought may last for weeks, months, or even years. (干旱的早期影响可能很难立即确定，因此可能需要数周或数月的时间才能确定干旱已经开始。由于同样的原因，干旱的结束很难确定。干旱可能持续数周、数月甚至数年。)”可知，在所有灾害中，干旱的特别之处在于它们很难在短时间内被发现。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三自然段“Droughts affect people in several ways. (干旱对人们的影响有几个方面。)”可知，本段主要介绍干旱对人们的影响。又根据本段“Clean drinking water is significant for all life, and sources of water may narrow during a drought. (清洁的饮用水对所有生命都很重要，干旱期间水源可能会减少。)”和“Water is also needed for crops to grow. When not enough rainfalls to naturally water crops, they must be watered by irrigation (灌溉) . (作物生长也需要水。当降雨量不足以自然灌溉作物时，必须通过灌溉来解决。)”可知，第三段主要阐述干旱对生活和农业的影响。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“She predicts that water problems such as drought, storms, floods, and degraded water quality will create “water refugees”, people moving in search of water. Cousteau stresses that we must do all we can to protect Earth’s valuable freshwater resources. (她预测，干旱、风暴、洪水和水质恶化等水问题将造成“水难民”，即人们四处寻找水源。库斯托强调，我们必须竭尽全力保护地球上宝贵的淡水资源。)”可知，最后一段提到“水难民”是为了说明缺水问题的严重影响，进而强调水资源的重要性。故选D。

Why not help your friend move Always help friends pack their belongings and load the truck when they are moving. When people are loading their households into boxes, they usually find items that they no longer need or do not want to pack or unpack.

【答案】Dear Tom,
Knowing you are curious about the differences between Chaoshan dialect and Mandarin, I’m happy to provide you with some information.
Firstly, the pronunciation of the two dialects is quite different. Chaoshan dialect has its unique tones and phonetic system, which can be challenging for non-native speakers. On the other hand, Mandarin follows a more standardized pronunciation system. However, the grammar of Chaoshan dialect and Mandarin is quite similar. Both dialects follow subject-verb-object word order and share similar sentence structures. Chaoshan dialect holds significant importance for the Chaoshan people. It is not only a means of communication but also a way to preserve our cultural heritage.
Hopefully my explanations will be of use to you.
Yours，
Li Hua

第三节(满分15分)
57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tony and I were in our school basketball team, the Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA. When we weren’t playing on the court, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James while Tony’s was Tyrone Bogues.
Bogues was only 1.6 metrest all, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what Tony was only 1.6metrest all, too! Tony knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Tony once said, “If Bogues could make it, why not me ”
But our coach was not so sure. Tony had to tryout many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench(场边休息区), being just a replacement. Everyone knew Tony had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Tony didn’t get a chance.
This week, the Lions were playing our main competitors, the Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game.
The last quarter began, and my team was behind by 10 points. Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other. Pain raced through my body. My knee hurt badly. “I don’t think I can play anymore, coach,” I said quietly as the doctor put an icepack on my knee.
“No way,” the coach replied sharply. “We’ve got no more players!”

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“What about Tony ” someone suggested. But the coach shook his head. I also suggested letting Tony have a try. Then, Tony himself asked the coach to let him try and promised that he wouldn’t let the coach down. Finally, the coach agreed. Tony jumped up and rushed onto the court. And clearly, all the extra hours that he’d spent practicing alone paid off. The other team just couldn't keep up with his energy and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn’t stop clapping and cheering. When the game ended, our team had won by two points. A great sense of joy welled up in everyone’s heart. Surprised at Tony’s performance, the coach hit Tony on the shoulder and said that he’ d just earned his place on the team.

Hachiko was an Akita Inu(秋田犬) who was born in 1923 in a county, Japan. A year later he became a gift for the daughter of a professor of Tokyo University. When the professor, Eisaburo Ueno, saw him for the first time, he realized that his legs were a little bent. They looked like the kanji(汉字) “八” that represents the number 8, which in Japanese is pronounced hachi, so he decided to name him Hachiko.
When Ueno’s daughter grew up, she married and went to live with her husband, leaving the dog behind. The professor liked him, so he decided to keep Hachi instead of giving him away.
Ueno went to work by train every day and Hachiko became his faithful companion. Every morning the dog accompanied his owner to the Shibuya train station and in the afternoon he went back to meet his owner when Ueno returned.
One day, while teaching at the university, Ueno suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage(脑溢血)which ended his life. However, Hachiko continued to wait for him at the Shibuya station.
Day after day Hachiko went to the station and waited for hours for his owner, looking for his face among the thousands of strangers passing by. These days turned into months and months and eventually into years. Hachiko waited tirelessly for his owner for nine long years. Through rain, snow or sunshine, he would appear at the exact tie his master’s train was due in the station.
The locals of Shibuya knew Hachiko and had regularly seen him with Professor Ueno. Due to the busyness of the station, many found it annoying to have the dog getting in the way. However, when they realized what had happened, they took charge of feeding and taking care of him while he waited in the door of the station.
Hachiko kept waiting for his owner who would never appear. After his death where he waited for Ueno every day, in 1934, a statue of him was put up in front of the same train station.
4. Why did Ueno call the Akita Inu Hachiko
A. Because of his age. B. Because of his number.
C. Because of his appearance. D. Because of his pronunciation.
5. When did Hachiko begin to accompany Ueno to the station every day

According to a study published by the American Psychological Association, playing an instrument as a child keeps the mind sharper as we age.
The study, done at the University of Kansas Medical Center, elected 70 healthy adults between the ages 60 and 83, who were divided into groups based on their levels of musical experience. The musicians performed better in several cognitive(认知的) tests than individuals who had never studied an instrument or learned how to read music. The brain functions measured by the tests tend to go worse with age.
“Musical activity throughout life may serve as a challenging cognitive exercise, making your brain fitter and more capable of meeting the challenges of aging,” said lead researcher Brenda Hanna-Pladdy. “Since studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning, it may create connections in the brain that could make up for cognitive drop as we get older.”
“Music-making is connected to a number of health benefits for older adults,” said Suzanne Hanser, chair of the music treatment department at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. “Research shows that making music can lower blood pressure, slow heart rate, reduce stress, and ease anxiety. There is also increasing evidence that making music enhances the immunological(免疫)response, which enables us to fight disease,” Hanser said. Hanser said that anyone, without considering age or ability, can make music and benefit from it.
“People are not only living longer these days; they want to remain healthy and active for as long as possible,” said Antoinette Follett, editor-in-chief of “Making Music” magazine. “Plus, there is an increasing focus in the medical community on the need to keep the brain as healthy as the body. This focus is as much about making the empty nest and retirement years fun and worthwhile as it is about preventing debilitating dementias(衰弱性痴呆) such as Alzheimer’s disease. Music making is able to do both.”
8. Among 4 healthy adults below, who might perform better in the cognitive tests
A. A senior who used to teach reading.
B. An aged man who knew a musician.
C. A grandpa who often listened to music.
D. An old lady who enjoyed playing the guitar.
9. What does the underlined word “enhances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Disables. B. Frees. C. Improves. D. Operates.
10. What can we conclude according to the passage
A. Brain functions go worse with age.
B. Learning music is able to stop aging.
C. Music is beneficial to brain and body.
D. Playing an instrument can fight diseases.
11. In which part of a newspaper could this article probably be found
A. Culture. B. Art. C. Medicine. D. Health.
D
A drought is a period of time when an area or region experiences below-normal rainfall. The lack of enough rainfall, either rain or snow, can cause reduced soil wetness or groundwater, diminished steam low (减少的水流), crop loss, and a general water shortage. Droughts are the second-most costly weather events after hurricanes.
The early effects of a drought maybe difficult to identify right away, so it may take weeks or months to determine that a drought has started. The end of a drought is hard to identify for the same reason. A drought may last for weeks, months, or even years. Sometimes, drought conditions can exist for ten years or more in a region. The longer a drought lasts, the greater the harmful effects it has on people.
Droughts affect people in several ways. Clean drinking water is significant for all life, and sources of water may narrow during a drought. Without the presence of water, people must bring in enough water from elsewhere to survive. Water is also needed for crops to grow. When not enough rainfalls to naturally water crops, they must be watered by irrigation (灌溉). Irrigation is possible only when there is enough water in nearby rivers, lakes, or streams, or from groundwater. During a drought, these water sources are diminished and may even dry up, preventing crops from being irrigated and causing them to die off.
One person studying these problems is Alexandra Cousteau, a National Geographic Emerging Explorer whose latest plan is Blue Legacy. She started Blue Legacy to raise awareness that we live on a water planet and must take care of it. Cousteau, the granddaughter of the well-known ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau, believes that water will be a key issue in this century. She predicts that water problems such as drought, storms, floods, and degraded water quality will create “water refugees”, people moving in search of water. Cousteau stresses that we must do all we can to protect Earth’s valuable freshwater resources.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To introduce what a drought is. B. To compare droughts with hurricanes.
C. To explain why a drought occurs. D. To raise awareness of some disasters.
13. Among all disasters, what is special about droughts
A. They cause the greatest harms. B. They are hard to spot in no time.
C. They usually end for no reason. D. They influence people’s living.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. Crops cannot grow without water.
B. Irrigation is impossible during a drought.
C. There are many ways to prevent droughts.
D. Droughts influence living and agriculture.
15. Why is “water refugees” mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To popularize Blue Legacy.
B. To tell we live on a water planet.
C. To persuade people to look for water.
D. To stress the importance of water resource.

57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Tony and I were in our school basketball team, the Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA. When we weren’t playing on the court, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James while Tony’s was Tyrone Bogues.
Bogues was only 1.6 metrest all, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what Tony was only 1.6metrest all, too! Tony knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Tony once said, “If Bogues could make it, why not me ”
But our coach was not so sure. Tony had to tryout many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench(场边休息区), being just a replacement. Everyone knew Tony had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Tony didn’t get a chance.
This week, the Lions were playing our main competitors, the Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game.
The last quarter began, and my team was behind by 10 points. Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other. Pain raced through my body. My knee hurt badly. “I don’t think I can play anymore, coach,” I said quietly as the doctor put an icepack on my knee.
“No way,” the coach replied sharply. “We’ve got no more players!”
注意：
1.续写词数应为100左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“What about Tony ” someone suggested.
