Meyer Mixdorf, 5, was a patient at the children’s hospital in Missouri back in May. There he made his first mystery friend, Johnna Schindlbeck, a medical worker who works across the street.
Meyer’s mother, Liz Mixdorf, said that Meyer got brain cancer (癌症) in December 2020 and was taken to the children’s hospital to receive treatment. Five months into his treatment Liz and her husband decided to arrange sticky notes (便利贴) in the shape of a smiley face on Meyer’s window to cheer him up. They never knew that they would receive a wink face in response (回应) to their artwork a day later.
“It was a really funny and exciting activity that Meyer looked forward to,” Liz said. On Johnna’s side, she had no idea who she was communicating with. She thought that was just fun in the very beginning. Johnna realized her post-it friend was a patient after she saw a hospital sign on the window.
Meyer and his parents worked through other characters, including Iron Man, Batman, the Minions and more. Each creative design they put on would get responses. The Mixdorf family and Johnna Schindlbeck spent several weeks sending sticky note art to each other from their windows in May and July.
On July 13, Meyer was leaving the hospital. He even got a chance to meet Johnna who made his days brighter. “I knew it was him as soon as I saw him and just started crying,” Johnna talked about Meyer’s visit. “I think Liz and I just both had tears.”
Johnna once lost two older brothers to cancer. “That was kind of a personal connection for me. I really feel for him and his family because I know what it feels like to have to walk away at the end of the day and you’re just depending on the hospital staff’s care. Kindness does go a long way,” she shared. “And I’m learning to be thankful for the little things.”
4. What’s Meyer’s parents’ purpose of putting up sticky notes
A. To decorate the room. B. To make Meyer happy.
C. To get a wink face back. D. To teach him make sticky note.
5. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Johnna was curious about Meyer in the beginning.
B. Johnna wanted to encourage Meyer to be positive.
C. Johnna thought giving responses was interesting at first.
D. Johnna liked communicating with others in a new way.
6. Why did Johnna cry when she met Meyer
A. She got the friendship she wanted.
B. She was happy for Meyer’s visit.
C. She felt sorry for Meyer ‘s illness.
D. She thought of her own experience.
7. Which of the following ideas may the author agree with
A. A kind heart really makes a difference.
B. Love makes family members come together.
C. People should be thankful for others kindness.
D. The doctor-patient relations are easy to deal with.
C
Everybody hates rats. But in the areas where there are many earthquakes, rats will soon be man’s friends.
What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue(营救)dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornel University, New York says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
8. Why are rats used in the new research project
A. They are smarter than dogs. B. They are more curious.
C. They can reach smaller spaces. D. They are more popular than dogs.
9. What is the purpose of the new research project
A. To make a comparison. B. To help rescue people.
C. To reduce the work of rescuers. D. To charge robots.
10. What’s the main reason why rats are better than robots to find survivors
A. Rats have a better sense of smell to find survivors.
B. Robots can't judge the smell of living survivors.
C. Rats have natural ability to find survivors.
D. Rats can get to spaces unreachable for robots.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. The“rat project”would be fantastic.
B. Rats will soon be man’s new best friends.
C. Rats help find survivors after the earthquake.
D. Man will be happy to see a rat in the building.
D
Have you ever tried a cactus (仙人掌) pear Yes, its prickly surface makes it an unusual-looking fruit but it is widely used in Mexican dishes. This fruit from the cactus is really good for you because it is helpful in fighting against many diseases, and has many health benefits (利益). There are actually over 200 types of cactus fruit and they grow in hot dry places.
Since the world is getting hotter and drier, it is even more difficult for hot dry places to grow major crops (庄稼) that need more water. Therefore, providing food and fuel will go a long way in a world that is heating up. Researchers from the University of Nevada, Reno, set out to see if the cactus pear could become a superfood that could feed people and animals, remove carbon (碳) from the atmosphere and be used as a biofuel.
While the study looked at many types of cactuses, they settled on the nopal cactus or Opuntia. The fruit can be gathered as food and the rest of the cactus can be used for taking in carbon and can be used as biofuels according to biology professor Cushman. The plant keeps water by closing its pores (气孔) during the hottest part of the day to limit water loss and opens them at night. Cushman hopes to use the genes from this plant to add them to other plants.
They are also studying the Opuntia stunting disease, which causes cactuses to grow smaller plants and less fruits, in order to find out how it spreads. They hope to learn how to create tools to recognize and treat it so that they can help Opuntia become a prolific crop.
In a world that is also gaining population, finding a new superfood will go a long way in feeding a planet that will need 50-90 percent more food in 2050. Eating more plant-based foods will also reduce the amount of land needed for more food protection.
12. What can we know about the cactus pear
A. It is of great benefit to people.
B. It is the main food for Mexicans.
C. It can’t be seen outside Mexico.
D. It grows in hot wet places.
13. What is the feature of the nopal cactus
A. It is easy to be gathered.
B. It has fewer pores 10 save water.
C. It is suitable for various conditions.
D. It is eatable and good for the environment.
14. What does the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Helpful. B. Unusual. C. Attractive. D. Fruitful.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Getting away from increasingly higher temperatures
B. Cactus pears may become the new superfood crop
C. A cactus is the plant living well in dry areas
D. Providing plant-based food for the world

Meyer and his parents worked through other characters, including Iron Man, Batman, the Minions and more. Each creative design they put on would get responses. The Mixdorf family and Johnna Schindlbeck spent several weeks sending sticky note art to each other from their windows in May and July.
On July 13, Meyer was leaving the hospital. He even got a chance to meet Johnna who made his days brighter. “I knew it was him as soon as I saw him and just started crying,” Johnna talked about Meyer’s visit. “I think Liz and I just both had tears.”
Johnna once lost two older brothers to cancer. “That was kind of a personal connection for me. I really feel for him and his family because I know what it feels like to have to walk away at the end of the day and you’re just depending on the hospital staff’s care. Kindness does go a long way,” she shared. “And I’m learning to be thankful for the little things.”

Everybody hates rats. But in the areas where there are many earthquakes, rats will soon be man’s friends.
What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue(营救)dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornel University, New York says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
8. Why are rats used in the new research project
A. They are smarter than dogs. B. They are more curious.
C. They can reach smaller spaces. D. They are more popular than dogs.
9. What is the purpose of the new research project
A. To make a comparison. B. To help rescue people.
C. To reduce the work of rescuers. D. To charge robots.
10 What’s the main reason why rats are better than robots to find survivors
A. Rats have a better sense of smell to find survivors.
B. Robots can't judge the smell of living survivors.
C. Rats have natural ability to find survivors.
D. Rats can get to spaces unreachable for robots.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. The“rat project”would be fantastic.
B. Rats will soon be man’s new best friends.
C. Rats help find survivors after the earthquake.
D. Man will be happy to see a rat in the building.

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive.(当老鼠的大脑的活动跳跃时，营救者就知道，有人活着。)”可知，该项研究的目的是为了帮助人们寻找地震中的营救者，从而救出他们，故选B。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Everybody hates rats. But in the areas where there are many earthquakes, rats will soon be man's friends.(每个人都讨厌老鼠。但是在一些地震多发地区，老鼠将很快成为人们的朋友。)”以及后文对将老鼠用来搜索地震中的幸存者的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了老鼠可以帮助人们寻找地震中的幸存者，故选C。

Have you ever tried a cactus (仙人掌) pear Yes, its prickly surface makes it an unusual-looking fruit but it is widely used in Mexican dishes. This fruit from the cactus is really good for you because it is helpful in fighting against many diseases, and has many health benefits (利益). There are actually over 200 types of cactus fruit and they grow in hot dry places.
Since the world is getting hotter and drier, it is even more difficult for hot dry places to grow major crops (庄稼) that need more water. Therefore, providing food and fuel will go a long way in a world that is heating up. Researchers from the University of Nevada, Reno, set out to see if the cactus pear could become a superfood that could feed people and animals, remove carbon (碳) from the atmosphere and be used as a biofuel.
While the study looked at many types of cactuses, they settled on the nopal cactus or Opuntia. The fruit can be gathered as food and the rest of the cactus can be used for taking in carbon and can be used as biofuels according to biology professor Cushman. The plant keeps water by closing its pores (气孔) during the hottest part of the day to limit water loss and opens them at night. Cushman hopes to use the genes from this plant to add them to other plants.
They are also studying the Opuntia stunting disease, which causes cactuses to grow smaller plants and less fruits, in order to find out how it spreads. They hope to learn how to create tools to recognize and treat it so that they can help Opuntia become a prolific crop.
In a world that is also gaining population, finding a new superfood will go a long way in feeding a planet that will need 50-90 percent more food in 2050. Eating more plant-based foods will also reduce the amount of land needed for more food protection.
12. What can we know about the cactus pear
A. It is of great benefit to people.
B. It is the main food for Mexicans.
C. It can’t be seen outside Mexico.
D. It grows in hot wet places.
13. What is the feature of the nopal cactus
A. It is easy to be gathered.
B. It has fewer pores 10 save water.
C. It is suitable for various conditions.
D. It is eatable and good for the environment.
14. What does the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Helpful. B. Unusual. C. Attractive. D. Fruitful.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Getting away from increasingly higher temperatures
B. Cactus pears may become the new superfood crop
C. A cactus is the plant living well in dry areas
D. Providing plant-based food for the world
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了表面多刺的仙人掌梨，它们生长在炎热干燥的地方，是一种不同寻常的水果，被广泛用于墨西哥菜肴中。这种果实对人的身体有好处，它有助于对抗许多疾病。既可以养活人和动物，又可以从大气中去除碳，还可以用作生物燃料。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“This fruit from the cactus is really good for you because it is helpful in fighting against many diseases, and has many health benefits (利益).(仙人掌的这种果实对你真的很有好处，因为它有助于对抗许多疾病，对健康有很多好处)”可知，仙人掌果对人有很大好处。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The fruit can be gathered as food and the rest of the cactus can be used for taking in carbon and can be used as biofuels according to biology professor Cushman. The plant keeps water by closing its pores (气孔) during the hottest part of the day to limit water loss and opens them at night.(根据生物学教授库什曼的说法，仙人掌的果实可以作为食物收集，仙人掌的其余部分可以用来吸收碳，也可以用作生物燃料。植物通过在一天中最热的时候关闭毛孔来保持水分，以限制水分的流失，并在晚上打开毛孔)”可知，仙人掌的果实既可食用又对环境有益。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“They are also studying the Opuntia stunting disease, which causes cactuses to grow smaller plants and less fruits, in order to find out how it spreads.(他们还在研究仙人掌发育迟缓病，以找出它是如何传播的。这种疾病会导致仙人掌长出更小的植物，结果更少)”可知，发育迟缓病会导致仙人掌结果少，因此，创造工具来识别和治疗它是为了能让它结更多的果子。由此可知，划线词prolific应是指“多产的，结果多的”。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章介绍了仙人掌这种植物，它们生长在炎热干燥的地方，它的果实对人的身体有好处，它有助于对抗许多疾病，又可以从大气中去除碳，还可以用作生物燃料，将来可能会成为很好的食物。由此可知，Cactus pears may become the new superfood crop(仙人掌梨可能成为新的超级粮食作物)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。

二、按照所给的句型翻译句子(每题3分，共15分)
56. 即使明天下雨，我们也不会改变我们的计划。(even if) (汉译英)
【答案】Even if it rains tomorrow, we won’t change our plan.
【解析】
【详解】考查句子时态和固定搭配。结合句意可知，此句描述将来的事情，故主句用一般将来时，表示“改变”的动词为change，表示“我们的计划”的名词短语为our plan，因此表示“我们不会改变我们的计划”应用we won’t change our plan；表示“即使”的连词为even if，引导让步状语从句，从句中用一般现在时表将来。表示“明天下雨”应用it rains tomorrow。句首单词首字母大写，故翻译为Even if it rains tomorrow, we won’t change our plan。
57. 活到老，学到老。(too... to do sth)(汉译英)

60. 做早操对你的健康有利。(be of＋抽象名词)(汉译英)
【答案】Doing morning exercise is of benefit to your health.
【解析】

【答案】
Dear David,
I hope this letter finds you well. I’m glad that you’re interested in Chinese calligraphy. Calligraphy is a unique art form with a history spanning over 3,500 years in China. It’s not just about writing; it’s an expression of the artist’s thoughts, feelings, and state of mind.
In daily life, calligraphy can be found everywhere. Chinese couplets written on red paper are hung on the door during the Spring Festival, bringing good luck and prosperity. Calligraphy is also used for decoration, with beautiful characters enhancing the aesthetic value of spaces.
Calligraphy holds a significant place in Chinese culture. It’s considered an essential skill for scholars and an embodiment of traditional values. The art of calligraphy reflects the essence of Chinese culture—it’s both practical and aesthetic, reflecting the harmonious blend of form and content.
I hope this gives you a better understanding of Chinese calligraphy. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
Yours,
Li Hua
