Being cut from a school team can be a difficult experience for a kid. But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.
Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.
“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”
The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.
In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.

Lucy was rescued from a rural farm in New South Wales, Australia, two years ago. She was suffering from chlamydia (衣原体病), a disease widespread among koalas. Today, she is one of “the lucky” living creatures in tree corridors (走廊) that have been created by volunteers to protect koalas and other animals by saving their quickly shrinking habitats, or natural environment.
The corridors, planted by the local conservation group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are intended for koalas and other animals like the glossy black cockatoos, possums, and wallabies. All of them are endangered, or at risk of becoming extinct. The corridors provide a safe path across the koala’s increasingly broken habitat. “Our corridors are actually trying to get them away from humans, from cars and from dogs,” said Linda Sparrow, president of Bangalow Koalas. “They can safely move across the landscapes and don’t have to put up with us humans.”
The koala is predicted to be extinct in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest dangers include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development. Koalas have already been declared endangered in several Australian states. A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth an estimated $3.2 billion per year to the tourism industry.
Founded in 2016, Bangalow Koalas has planted over 936,000 trees on 119 properties, helping koala conservation and improving the local ecosystem. The group, which depends on com munity volunteers, aims to plant 500,000 trees by 2025. Volunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, still remains devoted to the cause. She said the activity is good for mental health and has brought the community together. “I can’t imagine a world where there’s no koalas in the wild. We’re going to do everything we can possibly to. make sure that won’t happen,” Lindy said.
8. Who is Lucy
A A farmer. B. A patient. C. A volunteer. D. A koala.
9. What are the tree corridors intended to do
A. To shelter koalas from human threat. B. To test the local natural environment.
C. To save koalas suffering from chlamydia. D. To stop koalas’ habitats from being rebuilt.
10. What does the author want to show in paragraph 3
A. The reason for koalas’ extinction. B. Koalas’ value in tourism industry.
C. The necessity of saving koalas. D. People’s deep love for koalas.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Bangalow Koalas: A Group Intended For Koalas
B. Tree Corridors: A Lifeline For Endangered Koalas
C. Bangalow Koalas: Call On Volunteers For Koalas’ Protection
D. Tree Corridors: Responsible For The Loss Of Koalas’ Habitats
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B

Deep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins (毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.
South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia (痴呆).
Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid (脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques (粘性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.
Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.
This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realising they’re at a dead end.”
12. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan
A. To help people enter deep sleep. B. To reduce memory loss and dementia.
C. To research how to remove sticky plaques. D. To study what the brain uses to clean itself.
13. What may cause dementia according to the text
A. Not enough blood in the brain. B. Too frequent cleaning of the brain.
C. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid. D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques.
14. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Beginning. B. Improvement. C. Worsening. D. Disappearance.
15. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan
A. It brings more work. B. It is just imaginary.
C. It is quite effective. D. It is far from exact.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们研究深睡眠时大脑自我清洁的现象，发现深睡眠有助于清除大脑中的毒素，与记忆力和抵御痴呆症有关。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia(痴呆). (南澳大利亚健康与医学研究所（SAHMRI）的神经科学家Tim Sergeant博士与SAHMRI分子成像和治疗研究部门的Edward Robins博士合作，开发了一种脑部扫描，显示大脑的自我清洁情况。研究表明，干净的大脑有助于记忆，同时对抗痴呆)”可知，Tim Sargeant博士与Edward Robins博士开发大脑扫描的目的是研究大脑用什么来自我清洁，故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia. (科学家认为，随着时间的推移，这种斑块积聚的大脑可能无法正确清洁自己，使人们面临痴呆的风险。)”可知，粘性斑块的增加可能导致痴呆症，故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中““We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said. (“我们的目标是在大多数人onset阿尔茨海默症之前，捕捉到大脑在努力保持自身清洁的迹象，这些人通常在50或60岁左右”Sargeant博士说。)”可知，此处是指患病之前，由此猜测，onset的意思是“开始，发病”，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realising they’re at a dead end.” (这项新的扫描是一项令人兴奋的成像技术，将使科学家能够形成一个活体大脑的图像，并实时观察它如何回收浪费的材料。罗宾斯博士说：“扫描消除了很多猜测工作，让科学家亲眼看到他们是否击中了目标”。“在没有成像的情况下，研究人员可以一路走到试验阶段，然后才意识到他们处于死胡同。”)”可知，Dr Robins认为大脑扫描非常有效，故选C项。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：3月21日，纪念中巴建交50周年音乐会在巴西里约热内卢科帕卡巴纳海滩举行。本句已有谓语动词took place，所以mark用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语concert之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填marking。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这场户外活动吸引了300多名观众，并邀请了中国音乐家，包括中央音乐学院的中国传统音乐乐队，带来了中国音乐作品，特别是展示了中国传统乐器的多样性。此处的outdoor event特指上文提到的音乐会，应该用定冠词修饰，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填The。

考查形容词。句意：这场音乐会由中国文学艺术界联合会联合发起，中国音乐家协会和巴中友好协会联合主办，邀请了经验丰富的指挥家以及中国音乐奖金钟奖的获奖者和评委参加演出。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，修饰conductors，修饰人，用-ed形式。故填experienced。

Yours,

【答案】Dear Alex,
I’m excited about your desire to dig into Chinese traditional culture. I highly recommend experiencing the Dragon Boat Festival held on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month.
This festival originated in honor of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet from ancient China who drowned himself. To prevent fish from eating his body, people began racing dragon boats and throwing zongzi into the river. Therefore, on that day, it’s customary for Chinese people to hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo leaves. Through this festival, you’ll witness not only activities steeped in history and tradition but also a perfect mix of sportsmanship, community and culinary delights.
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
My family had only recently moved into a new neighborhood. All of my neighbors have been very friendly and helpful since we moved in.
However, Mrs Davis, an elderly lady living in the last house on the other side of the road, escaped associating with us, or anyone else. When I asked around the neighborhood why, they warned me not to go after her because they thought she was insane (精神失常的) and preferred staying alone after losing her husband and only daughter in an aircraft crash. After that, she stayed isolated (孤立的) from all the neighbors, refusing all the care and help.
I often saw her on the streets during the evening, but she was always by herself. She appeared weak and I always wanted to help her, but after hearing what my neighbors had said about her, I wasn’t sure whether I should.
One day, when I was on my way to the supermarket, our paths crossed. I was walking past her and overheard her singing a tune. It immediately drew my attention because my parents used to sing the same song with me. I began to sing along with her, and she smiled at me for the first time. But when I smiled back, she quickly hurried her pace and went home.
She seemed very different to me that day. I refused to trust my neighbors’ claims that she had cut herself off from the rest of society because she was insane, so the next day, I knocked on her door. Mrs Davis was home, and instead of letting me in, she just looked at me silently through the window. I noticed her staring at me and was about to walk to the window when she quickly closed the curtains.
The next day, I revisited her house. “Hello, I brought you something,” I called out to her. “It’s the record of the music you were singing yesterday.”
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 door opened and Mrs Davis’ eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Several days later in the morning, the doorbell rang at my house.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
The door opened and Mrs Davis’ eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there. I held out the record, “I thought you might enjoy this.” Mrs Davis slowly took it from my hands, staring at it. For a moment, she seemed lost in memories. “Thank you,” she whispered. Then I was invited into her house, feeling a sense of connection blossoming between us. “I used to listen to this song with my husband and daughter. It was their favorite,” she shared stories of her love for music, and the pain of her loss. When I left her house, I offered to hug her, and Mrs Davis’ eyes shone with newfound hope.
Several days later in the morning, the doorbell rang at my house. Surprising and delightful, it was Mrs Davis! She stood at our doorstep, holding a tray of freshly baked cookies, her eyes sparkling with warmth, “I wanted to thank you for bringing light to my life.” I replied excitedly, “I’m just more than glad to see you.” Gradually, Mrs Davis no longer cut herself from the world and she became a regular visitor to my house, also finding her way back to the community that cared for her. Sometimes, I realized that all it took was a small act of kindness to break down the barriers of loneliness.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述了作者和家人搬到新社区后，尽管邻居们都很友好，但大家因误解而避开一位上了年纪的名叫Davis的女士，认为她因失去亲人而精神失常，选择孤立自己。作者最初也受此影响犹豫不决，但在偶然听到Davis女士唱起自己熟悉的歌曲后，决定不理会邻里间的传言，主动尝试接触和帮助她，通过送唱片作为交流的契机，作者去拜访了Davis女士。
【详解】1.段落续写

Family Vacations in Hawaii
Whether your interests are history, native cultures, hiking, water sports, or simply relaxing in the sun, Hawaii has abundant choices to keep you and your family entertained.
Waikiki Beach
This famous two-mile stretch of sand is home to scores of family-friendly beach hotels and all kinds of action-packed excitement.

These crashing walls of water are born for surfing and offer one of the best free shows on the islands. The North Shore is home to world-class surf contests, attracting the world’s top surfers.
Polynesian Cultural Center
Nothing appeals to the whole family like Hawaiian past coming alive. Besides, the colorful costumes, lively songs, and traditional dances in the Pacific region are presented here. You’ll see customs of Fiji, New Zealand, Marquesas, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii all represented in Polynesian Cultural Center’s re-created island villages, which is decorated with palm trees and tropical gardens.
Waimea Canyon (峡谷) State Park

Being cut from a school team can be a difficult experience for a kid. But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.
Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.
“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”
The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.
In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.
4. What do we know about Emmie from the first two paragraphs
A. She refused to give up performing. B. She used to be looked down upon.
C. She showed a special talent for cheerleading. D. She felt down for not joining the cheer squad.
5. Why did Sydnee post the video online

Lucy was rescued from a rural farm in New South Wales, Australia, two years ago. She was suffering from chlamydia (衣原体病), a disease widespread among koalas. Today, she is one of “the lucky” living creatures in tree corridors (走廊) that have been created by volunteers to protect koalas and other animals by saving their quickly shrinking habitats, or natural environment.
The corridors, planted by the local conservation group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are intended for koalas and other animals like the glossy black cockatoos, possums, and wallabies. All of them are endangered, or at risk of becoming extinct. The corridors provide a safe path across the koala’s increasingly broken habitat. “Our corridors are actually trying to get them away from humans, from cars and from dogs,” said Linda Sparrow, president of Bangalow Koalas. “They can safely move across the landscapes and don’t have to put up with us humans.”
The koala is predicted to be extinct in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest dangers include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development. Koalas have already been declared endangered in several Australian states. A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth an estimated $3.2 billion per year to the tourism industry.
Founded in 2016 Bangalow Koalas has planted over 936,000 trees on 119 properties, helping koala conservation and improving the local ecosystem. The group, which depends on com munity volunteers, aims to plant 500,000 trees by 2025. Volunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, still remains devoted to the cause. She said the activity is good for mental health and has brought the community together. “I can’t imagine a world where there’s no koalas in the wild. We’re going to do everything we can possibly to. make sure that won’t happen,” Lindy said.
8. Who is Lucy

9. What are the tree corridors intended to do

Deep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins (毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.
South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia (痴呆).
Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid (脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques (粘性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.
Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.
This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realising they’re at a dead end.”
12. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan
A. To help people enter deep sleep. B. To reduce memory loss and dementia.
C. To research how to remove sticky plaques. D. To study what the brain uses to clean itself.
13 What may cause dementia according to the text
A. Not enough blood in the brain. B. Too frequent cleaning of the brain.
C. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid. D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques.
14. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Beginning. B. Improvement. C. Worsening. D. Disappearance.
15. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan
A. It brings more work. B. It is just imaginary.
C. It is quite effective. D. It is far from exact.

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。
My family had only recently moved into a new neighborhood. All of my neighbors have been very friendly and helpful since we moved in.
However, Mrs Davis, an elderly lady living in the last house on the other side of the road, escaped associating with us, or anyone else. When I asked around the neighborhood why, they warned me not to go after her because they thought she was insane (精神失常的) and preferred staying alone after losing her husband and only daughter in an aircraft crash. After that, she stayed isolated (孤立的) from all the neighbors, refusing all the care and help.
I often saw her on the streets during the evening but she was always by herself. She appeared weak and I always wanted to help her, but after hearing what my neighbors had said about her, I wasn’t sure whether I should.
One day, when I was on my way to the supermarket, our paths crossed. I was walking past her and overheard her singing a tune. It immediately drew my attention because my parents used to sing the same song with me. I began to sing along with her, and she smiled at me for the first time. But when I smiled back, she quickly hurried her pace and went home.
She seemed very different to me that day. I refused to trust my neighbors’ claims that she had cut herself off from the rest of society because she was insane, so the next day, I knocked on her door. Mrs Davis was home, and instead of letting me in, she just looked at me silently through the window. I noticed her staring at me and was about to walk to the window when she quickly closed the curtains.
The next day, I revisited her house. “Hello, I brought you something,” I called out to her. “It’s the record of the music you were singing yesterday.”
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 door opened and Mrs Davis’ eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there.

Several days later in the morning, the doorbell rang at my house.
