The Amazon Rainforest, often called the “lungs of the Earth”, has always mesmerized me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落). When I had the chance to join a research expedition, I took it, excited about the adventure ahead. I didn’t know it would be a great experience.
The journey into the rainforest was tough such as the dense leaves, endless rain and the sound of insects and animals. However, the beauty of the rainforest was amazing.
One of the most exciting parts of the trip was meeting a local tribe. Their way of life so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. Learning about their customs and understanding their relationship with the rainforest was a special experience. It made me realize how separated from nature we have become in the technological advancement.
The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability.
As we left the rainforest, I recalled the impact the trip had on me. It was not just an adventure but a journey of self-discovery.
My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries(边界) taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices.
4. Which of the following best explains “mesmerized” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Puzzled. B. Moved. C. Attracted. D. Defeated.
5. Which word can describe the relation between the local tribe and the rainforest
A. Exciting. B. Close. C. Relaxing. D. Separated.
6. What can we learn about the trip from paragraph 4
A. It’s dangerous and meaningless. B. It’s fanny but unbearable.
C. It’s important and interesting. D. It’s challenging but worthwhile.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The meaning of the trip. B. The experience of the trip.
C. The memory of the trip. D. The purpose of the trip.
C
The world loves a cup of tea. It only takes a few grams to make a cup of tea and millions of tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for you because it contains some things that help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Tea also contains caffeine(咖啡因), which improves not only mental alertness but can also increase anxiety and cause other problems.
What would be agreeable is a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or none of caffeine. Chen Liang and Jin Jiqiang in the Tea Research Institute Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences think they have found just such a plant, growing wild in a remote area in southern China’s Fujian Province. Known locally as hongyacha, the discovered plant grows only between 700 meters and 1,000 meters above sea level around a handful of Chinese villages. As they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that, the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.
The researchers are now exploring methods to protect hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out. It can take time—and sometimes it does not work—for new plant varieties to be bred for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffee plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress has been reported. Tea lovers will be watching hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.
8. What’s the disadvantage of drinking tea according to paragraph 1
A. It can make people hard to sleep. B. It can make people feel anxious.
C. It can get people addicted. D. It can take people much time.
9. What can we learn about hongyacha in paragraph 2
A. It is nothing but just medicine. B. It can only survive in greenhouses.
C. It is a good pick for caffeine lovers. D. It has a good taste and little caffeine.
10. What might the follow-up study focus on about hongyacha
A. Its future location. B. Its natural habitats.
C. Its future market. D. Its production process.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A A health magazine. B. An advertising brochure.
C. A travel guidebook. D. A newspaper.
D
“Hello Mother, Dad, and Blanche,” a quiet voice, has clearly been played many times over. “How’s everything at home I’m recording this from Dallas…” The disc is small, seven inches across, dated October 1954. The old label shows that the speaker’s name is “Gene”. Gene suggests in his minute-long message that he is traveling and tells his family not to worry about him.
This forgotten sound is one of the world’s early “voice mails”. During the first half of the 20th century, these “voice mails” and other messages were recorded largely, pressed onto metal discs and vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and mailed in places all over the world. When Thomas Edison invented the phonograph (留声机) in 1877, he expected a device that could reproduce music and even store languages.
The gramophone, a later form of the phonograph developed by Emile Berliner in 1887, provided a first possibility for recorded sound being used for long distance communication. The practice of sending “voice mails” really got going across the world in the 1930s and 1940s. Back then, families could listen to the messages on repeat — gathering together around the record player whenever one arrived. They could play it proudly again anytime there were guests, but with each play, the needle would scrape away at the grooves (凹槽) until the message could hardly be heard any longer.
Today at Princeton University, professor Thomas Levin is trying to store these sounds of the past. Linguists (语言学家) are particularly interested in “voice mails” because it provides some of the earliest-ever recorded samples of how regular people spoke — their conversational vocabulary, their pronunciation and accents, their sentence structure and their intonation (语调).
12. Why did Gene record his voice in the disc
A. To let his family know he was OK. B. To prepare for his experiment.
C. To test an old vinyl record. D. To keep a memory.
13. Which of the following is the disadvantage of gramophone
A. People couldn’t listen to the music in it.
B. It couldn’t keep voice in the records very clear.
C. The recorded sound would be damaged by the needle.
D. The needle of the gramophone must be changed often.
14. For what do linguists study “voice mails”
A. To research the earliest-ever recorded voice.
B. To prove recorded samples are true.
C. To learn from famous historical linguists.
D. To reproduce the sound of the past.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Early Days of Recorded Sound B. The Importance of “Voice Mails”
C. The Development of Our Language D. The History of “Voice Mails”

47. 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。
A six-year-old Scottish girl has taken her first steps even though doctors said she would spend her life in a wheelchair. Arabella was born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC, 先天性多发性关节挛缩症) affecting both her arms and legs, but when doctors in Scotland said there was nothing that could be done for Arabella, her mom Catherine refused to believe it and instead made it her mission to find a solution to help her daughter.
She reached out to Dr. David S Feldman, a famous doctor based in Florida who treats AMC with surgery (外科手术), and made an appointment with his team at the Paley European Institute in Warsaw, Poland. “We all agreed she is a great person for operation and can gain motion in her legs, which gave great hope to Arabella and her mom,” Dr, Feldman said. However, it needed a big amount of money for the operation, which the family couldn’t afford it.
When Catherine returned to Scotland to meet with some famous doctors, they said there was nothing that could be done and the surgery wasn’t suitable for Arabella. As a result, Catherine was a little disappointed. “They said we needed to be realistic and think about how we could improve Arabella’s life in a wheelchair,” Arabella’s father William said, “On hearing that, as any parents, it dashed (使破灭) our hopes so much...” For the next two months, the family was in a low spirit. William has been on a mission ever since to help his daughter walk again. He launched a crowd funding page to raise 125,000 for the surgery.
Arriving in October 2021 and remaining there over Christmas, Arabella underwent 12 weeks of careful rehabilitation and physiotherapy (康复理疗) with the dedicated nurses as she built up her muscles and learned to walk. Last August she returned to hospital for a second operation and a further six weeks of physiotherapy. They didn’t give up. On the contrary. they looked after Arabella carefully and encouraged her to feel confident of the operation.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The parents tried their best to raise money for the second operation.

The journey into the rainforest was tough, such as the dense leaves, endless rain and the sound of insects and animals. However, the beauty of the rainforest was amazing.
One of the most exciting parts of the trip was meeting a local tribe. Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. Learning about their customs and understanding their relationship with the rainforest was a special experience. It made me realize how separated from nature we have become in the technological advancement.
The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability.
As we left the rainforest, I recalled the impact the trip had on me. It was not just an adventure but a journey of self-discovery.
My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries(边界) taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices.

A. Puzzled. B. Moved. C. Attracted. D. Defeated.

【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词下一句“When I had the chance to join a research expedition, I took it, excited about the adventure ahead. (当我有机会参加一次研究探险时，我接受了，对未来的冒险感到兴奋。)”可知，作者对即将去亚马逊雨林参加研究探险感到非常兴奋，再结合画线词后的“me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落)”可推出，亚马逊雨林的生物多样性和当地部落对作者很有吸引力。mesmerized意为“迷住，吸引”，与attracted意思相近。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. (他们的生活方式与自然如此紧密相连，与我们的城市生活不同。)”可知,当地部落的生活方式与自然紧密相连，二者的关系很紧密。故选B。

However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability. (这次旅行并非没有挑战。在森林里行走，应对恶劣的天气，应对未知的恐惧，考验着我们的意志力。然而，我们克服的每一个挑战都带来了成就感，并加强了我们的团队纽带。它教会了我团队合作和适应性的重要性。)”可推测出，这次旅行虽然很有挑战，但也非常值得。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries (边界) taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices. (我的亚马逊雨林之旅是一次有意义的经历。这段旅程突破了我的界限，给我上了宝贵的一课，给我留下了难忘的回忆。这不仅仅是一次旅行，还是对未知事物的探索，提醒我们对地球的责任。冒险可能已经结束，但旅程仍在继续，因为我带着教训和记忆，影响着我的生活和选择。)”可推测出，最后一段主要讲述了这次旅行的意义。故选A。

The world loves a cup of tea. It only takes a few grams to make a cup of tea and millions of tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for you because it contains some things that help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Tea also contains caffeine(咖啡因), which improves not only mental alertness but can also increase anxiety and cause other problems.
What would be agreeable is a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or none of caffeine. Chen Liang and Jin Jiqiang in the Tea Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences think they have found just such a plant, growing wild in a remote area in southern China’s Fujian Province. Known locally as hongyacha, the discovered plant grows only between 700 meters and 1,000 meters above sea level around a handful of Chinese villages. As they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that, the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.
The researchers are now exploring methods to protect hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out. It can take time—and sometimes it does not work—for new plant varieties to be bred for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffee plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress has been reported. Tea lovers will be watching hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.
8. What’s the disadvantage of drinking tea according to paragraph 1
A. It can make people hard to sleep. B. It can make people feel anxious.
C. It can get people addicted. D. It can take people much time.
9. What can we learn about hongyacha in paragraph 2
A. It is nothing but just medicine. B. It can only survive in greenhouses.
C. It is a good pick for caffeine lovers. D. It has a good taste and little caffeine.
10. What might the follow-up study focus on about hongyacha
A. Its future location. B. Its natural habitats.
C. Its future market. D. Its production process.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A health magazine. B. An advertising brochure.
C. A travel guidebook. D. A newspaper.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一种新发现的茶树——红芽茶——不含咖啡因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Tea also contains caffeine(咖啡因), which improves not only mental alertness but can also increase anxiety and cause other problems.(茶中还含有咖啡因，它不仅能提高精神警觉性，还会增加焦虑和引发其他问题。)”可知，喝茶的缺点之一是它会让人们感觉焦虑。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What would be agreeable is a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or none of caffeine.(这样的一种茶树会非常令人喜欢，这种茶树既不失口感和营养价值，又不含咖啡因或者仅含少量咖啡因。)”“they have found just such a plant(他们发现了这种植物)”“Known locally as hongyacha(在当地被称作红芽茶)”可知，红芽茶口感好且几乎不含咖啡因。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It can take time—and sometimes it does not work—for new plant varieties to be bred for commercial use.(为商用而培育新茶品种，可能花费大量时间，有时会失败。)”可推测出，后续的研究可能关注红芽茶的未来市场。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一段讲述了茶对身体的好处和坏处；第二段讲述了红芽茶不含咖啡因并且有独特的药物成分；最后一段讲述了红芽茶的研究进展。由此可推测出，本文与茶和健康有关，最有可能出自健康杂志。故选A。
D
“Hello Mother, Dad, and Blanche,” a quiet voice, has clearly been played many times over. “How’s everything at home I’m recording this from Dallas…” The disc is small, seven inches across, dated October 1954. The old label shows that the speaker’s name is “Gene”. Gene suggests in his minute-long message that he is traveling and tells his family not to worry about him.
This forgotten sound is one of the world’s early “voice mails”. During the first half of the 20th century, these “voice mails” and other messages were recorded largely, pressed onto metal discs and vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and mailed in places all over the world. When Thomas Edison invented the phonograph (留声机) in 1877, he expected a device that could reproduce music and even store languages.
The gramophone, a later form of the phonograph developed by Emile Berliner in 1887, provided a first possibility for recorded sound being used for long distance communication. The practice of sending “voice mails” really got going across the world in the 1930s and 1940s. Back then, families could listen to the messages on repeat — gathering together around the record player whenever one arrived. They could play it proudly again anytime there were guests, but with each play, the needle would scrape away at the grooves (凹槽) until the message could hardly be heard any longer.
Today at Princeton University, professor Thomas Levin is trying to store these sounds of the past. Linguists (语言学家) are particularly interested in “voice mails” because it provides some of the earliest-ever recorded samples of how regular people spoke — their conversational vocabulary, their pronunciation and accents, their sentence structure and their intonation (语调).
12. Why did Gene record his voice in the disc
A. To let his family know he was OK. B. To prepare for his experiment.
C. To test an old vinyl record. D. To keep a memory.
13. Which of the following is the disadvantage of gramophone
A. People couldn’t listen to the music in it.
B. It couldn’t keep voice in the records very clear.
C. The recorded sound would be damaged by the needle.
D. The needle of the gramophone must be changed often.
14. For what do linguists study “voice mails”
A. To research the earliest-ever recorded voice.
B. To prove recorded samples are true.
C. To learn from famous historical linguists.
D. To reproduce the sound of the past.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Early Days of Recorded Sound B. The Importance of “Voice Mails”
C. The Development of Our Language D. The History of “Voice Mails”
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是语音邮件的历史。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Gene suggests in his minute-long message that he is traveling and tells his family not to worry about him.(Gene在一分钟长信息中表示，他正在旅行，并告诉他的家人不要担心他)”可知，Gene把他的声音录在光盘里是为了让家人知道他没事。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They could play it proudly again anytime there were guests, but with each play, the needle would scrape away at the grooves (凹槽) until the message could hardly be heard any longer.(只要有客人来，他们就可以骄傲地再弹一遍，但是每弹一次，针就会刮开凹槽，直到几乎听不到信息)”可知，每弹一次，针就会刮开凹槽，所以随着播放次数的增加录制的声音会被针破坏。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Linguists (语言学家) are particularly interested in“voice mails”because it provides some of the earliest-ever recorded samples of how regular people spoke — their conversational vocabulary, their pronunciation and accents, their sentence structure and their intonation (语调).(语言学家对“语音邮件”特别感兴趣，因为它提供了一些关于人们如何正常说话的最早记录样本——他们的会话词汇、发音和口音、句子结构和语调)”可知，语言学家研究“语音邮件”是为了研究有史以来最早的语音记录。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段通过一个具体事例引出“voice mails(语音邮件)”的话题，文章第二、三、四段集中讲述语音邮件的发展历史，纵观全文，文章都是在围绕着语音邮件的历史来展开。由此可知，D项The History of “Voice Mails”(语音邮件的历史)作为文章的标题最合适。故选D项。

47. 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。
A six-year-old Scottish girl has taken her first steps even though doctors said she would spend her life in a wheelchair. Arabella was born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC, 先天性多发性关节挛缩症) affecting both her arms and legs, but when doctors in Scotland said there was nothing that could be done for Arabella, her mom Catherine refused to believe it and instead made it her mission to find a solution to help her daughter.
She reached out to Dr. David S Feldman, a famous doctor based in Florida who treats AMC with surgery (外科手术), and made an appointment with his team at the Paley European Institute in Warsaw, Poland. “We all agreed she is a great person for operation and can gain motion in her legs, which gave great hope to Arabella and her mom,” Dr, Feldman said. However, it needed a big amount of money for the operation, which the family couldn’t afford it.
When Catherine returned to Scotland to meet with some famous doctors, they said there was nothing that could be done and the surgery wasn’t suitable for Arabella. As a result, Catherine was a little disappointed. “They said we needed to be realistic and think about how we could improve Arabella’s life in a wheelchair,” Arabella’s father William said, “On hearing that, as any parents, it dashed (使破灭) our hopes so much...” For the next two months, the family was in a low spirit. William has been on a mission ever since to help his daughter walk again. He launched a crowd funding page to raise 125,000 for the surgery.
Arriving in October 2021 and remaining there over Christmas, Arabella underwent 12 weeks of careful rehabilitation and physiotherapy (康复理疗) with the dedicated nurses as she built up her muscles and learned to walk. Last August she returned to hospital for a second operation and a further six weeks of physiotherapy. They didn’t give up. On the contrary. they looked after Arabella carefully and encouraged her to feel confident of the operation.

【答案】参考范文:
The parents tried their best to raise money for the second operation. They continued to make use of the crowd funding page to raise money. Many neighbors even strangers also knew about their difficulty, and they all donated money actively. To their joy, they collected all the money needed for the operation finally through hard work. They thanked everyone supporting and donating to help Arabella. They said they would remember those who encouraged and supported in the tough times from the bottom of her heart forever because they let them see the hope.
Arabella had the second operation and physiotherapy. She is much better than before. Now she can walk slowly. What an amazing surprise! The couple thanked Dr. Feldman for helping their daughter when no one else would Dr. Feldman encouraged her to do more exercise and stick to taking medicine and said she could walk normally in the future. What William and Catherine did proved the doctors in Scotland were wrong. They are so proud of their daughter and are sure their daughter will be well soon.
