Yo-Yo Ma is one of the most famous musicians of modern times. His parents were Chinese, but he was
born in Paris in 1955 and moved to New York City at age seven. Ma started taking music lessons very young
and began performing before audiences at age five. He even performed for presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower
and John F. Kennedy when he was seven. At age eight, he appeared on American television with his sister in a
concert. He studied at some of the most impressive colleges in the United States— the Juilliard School, which
is a famous music school, and Harvard University, which is one of the top colleges in the US. He has played
music all over the world, and made more than ninety music albums and won eighteen Grammy Awards! Ma
plays all different types of music, like American folk music, traditional Chinese music, and even music from
Argentina and Brazil. He is a very interesting and talented musician!

Dear Peter,
Delighted to learn that you have a keen interest in Chinese characters, I’m writing to offer you some
information.
Chinese characters have developed from symbols carved on animals’ bones to a well-formed writing system
over thousands of years. They have been playing an important part in Chinese civilisation. Not only do they help
connect China’s present with its past, but also contribute to uniting people divided geographically. Nowadays, an
increasing number of international students are appreciating the beauty of Chinese characters, which will certainly
deepen their understanding of Chinese splendid culture.
I’m looking forward to your coming and exposing yourself to Chinese characters personally.
Yours,
Li Hua

Not long ago when I had a dinner party, a guest noticed the gravy boat ( 船形酱汁壶) — a piece of china, “Is it a heirloom (传家宝) ” The boat is very old, matches nothing else, and has a V-shaped cut on it. But it is the one I will keep forever.
Our history together began fifty years ago when I was seven. That December the river started to rise. We worked hard against the disaster and even kept a rowboat downstairs. My mother carefully packed the china in the study upstairs because it’d been her mother’s and was valuable to her. She told me, “You must treasure the things people you love have treasured. It keeps you in touch with them.” But then I didn’t really understand her concern.
The water rose higher. One night, the floor of the study fell through and the china was on the first floor under the rising river. The loss really broke her heart. That night she sat on the top of the stairs and cried.
The next morning I could tell how bad she still felt. Suddenly I saw the rowboat — yes, I could fish for the china. I put a hook (钩) onto a line, let it down until I felt it hit bottom and slowly moved the rowboat back and forth, pulling my line, but time after time I pulled the line up empty.
When we had to leave as the water poured in, I tried for the last time. Suddenly I felt something and raised my catch. The gravy boat! The moment I took it out in front of my mother, she was in tears of joy.
It was just then that I realized how deeply that old gravy boat connected me to the people and places of my past, tying me to my mother as well as her life, her joy and her love.
What can we learn about the gravy boat
A. It is fifty years old. B. It means much to “my” family.
C. It is old but perfect. D. It matches the furniture well.
What made the author’s mother cry that night
A. Pain of the injury. B. Rise of the river.
C. Damage of the study. D. Loss of the treasure.
Which of the following can best describe “I”
A. Caring. B. Honest. C. Confident. D. Responsible.
What does the author want to express in the text
Stay calm in face of a disaster.
“Heirlooms” connect generations.
Suffering improves the parent-child tie.
Mother’s love promotes her child’s growth.
C
Different people enjoy different amounts (数量) of human contact. While some adore making lots of friends, others prefer plenty of time on their own. However, is there such a thing as too much time alone And how does isolation (孤独) affect humans
In April, a Spanish athlete named Beatriz Flamini came out of a cave where she had spent 500 days as part of a study on social isolation. During her time 70 metres underground, Flamini had no human contact at all. However, she did record videos of herself and was monitored continually by scientists.
Doctors measuring the effects of isolation are building up a picture of how it can change the way people experience the passing of time, and how it affects the body’s natural clock. Flamini first entered the cave on 20 November 2021, but she lost track of time 65 days later. During her time underground, she sometimes experienced auditory hallucinations, which means that she was hearing noises that weren’t there. The isolation affected her balance when she came out of the cave, and she also had to get used to being in sunlight.
Isolation studies are important for planning for long-lasting space tasks. Although astronauts (宇航员) often work with other members, the teams are small and their living quarters are small, too. For example, the astronaut Kjell Lindgren spent 141 days on board the International Space Station with never more than five teammates for company. This summer, four volunteers will start a year of living inside a big box, as part of NASA’s Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog. The aim of this experiment is to find out how astronauts will manage extreme isolation and stay healthy while living on Mars.
What does the underlined word “adore” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Avoid. B. Allow. C. Love. D. Stop.
What did Beatriz Flamini do underground
A. She watched videos every day. B. She stayed alone for over a year.
C. She explored the cave’s secrets. D. She talked with scientists sometimes.
What did Beatriz Flamini suffer in the study
A. Disorder of body clock. B. Poor eyesight.
C. Complete loss of balance. D. Sudden deafness.
What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Extreme Isolation B. Power of Human Contact
C. Underground Experiences D. Astronauts’ Health Experiments
D
In many adults, learning and thinking begin to decline (衰退) as early as age 30 and become worse in their mid-60s, which is shown in tests of cognitive (认知的) abilities.
These changes are often considered as the result of normal aging. But they may instead show something more like the “summer slide” that some schoolchildren experience in study process during summer break. After formal education and job training end, many adults experience years of reduced chances of learning.
However, a three-month study Rachel Wu and her partners designed suggests that this decline can be addressed. In this study, they provided an encouraging learning environment for 24 older adults between 58 and 86 years of age. Before and after, they tested the cognitive abilities. The older adults signed up for at least three classes that met weekly to learn new skills, such as drawing, iPad using and Spanish-language learning. During this period, the adults’ cognitive scores for memory improved greatly, and their cognitive abilities after one year were similar to those of adults 50 years younger.
The team is still investigating why their cognitive scores continued to climb after the program’s end, but one possibility is that the experience encouraged these adults to continue learning and practice new skills. To be clear, the researchers do not think that formal education is the only or most important way to support learning. Their idea is to instead create encouraging environments for older adults, so they can increase both real-world skills and cognitive abilities over the long term.
“Use it or lose it,” the saying goes. Let’s change the conversation about adults from avoiding loss and decline, or keeping what people have, to learning and growing.
What leads to the decline in cognitive abilities
A. Age-related diseases. B. Slower processing speed.
C. Too many holiday breaks. D. Fewer learning experiences.
How did Rachel Wu and her partners conduct their research
A. By doing surveys. B. By arranging interviews.
C. By searching documents. D. By making comparisons.
What can we learn from Paragraph 4
Learning contributes to physical improvement.
Taking classes is key to cognitive development.
Positive learning environments should be created.
Older adults need to practice their language skills.
What’s the author’s attitude toward the study
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。
Healthy friendships can protect against anxiety and increase happiness. While many people believe it’s the number of friends that matters, research shows that quality is more important — and having even a small group of close friends is a stronger sign of happiness than having lots of general connections. 36
Continuously spend time.
37 Research suggests that it takes about 90 hours to become regular friends and more than 200 hours to form a best friendship. If you find you haven’t put much time and effort into your friendships, add a section for connection to your daily to-do list.
Get vulnerable (脆弱的).
Another key is allowing yourself to be vulnerable. Start by sharing small opinions, like what you think about your book club’s latest choice. 38 Being vulnerable shows that you like your friends and trust them, which brings people closer together.
Mix in several creativity.
It might be time to put new energy into your most familiar (熟悉的) friendships. That goes for both conversations and activities. 39 And think about new adventures you can carry on together, like traveling to a new destination or joining a football team.
40
Every friendship will surely arrive at key moments: the highs and lows in life that certainly affect how we feel about our friendships. Was your friend there when you got promoted or became seriously ill The answer determines how much we’ll value that friendship.
Turn to your friends.
Show up for the important moments.
Here are some useful ways to build up friendships.
Making time for whom we care about can deepen friendships.
Go deeper by telling your friends what you’re now struggling with.
Arrange moments of conversation where you can do something different.
If you’re in low spirits, be open about how you’re feeling and deal with it.
