In my work as a vocational school teacher in Germany, some of my classes are full of students of different nationalities. More often than not, I will have a few refuges (难民) in the class, whose command of German is often rather incomplete regardless of whether they are blow-ins or not. Some of these students who manage to complete their three-year apprenticeships (学徒期) may actually continue to go to school to gain qualifications so they can attend university.
In the past few years, I have taken them aside and given them tips on how to improve their language skills via books, newspapers, apps or online grammar quizzes. And I have given them tips on how to integrate themselves into the German culture better.
Over the last few weeks, I have taken three young men aside and given them tips on how to improve their German such as joining sports clubs, finding ways to build their vocabulary outwith class and taking language immersion courses. After class, I actually even took a couple of them to a noticeboard which displayed valuable information on a poster and they were grateful for this little gesture that only took a minute of my time.
I do not get any extra money for offering this sort of advice and I have sacrificed the odd break over the years, but I feel it is important to help the youngsters in what I consider a valuable way, because once they pass their exams, they will be likely to set up a home and spend their working life here.
Good integration is so important as it builds bridges and expands horizons. It makes me happy to share my knowledge as a language teacher and spread those kindness ripples in everyday life.
4. What does the underlined word “blow-ins” in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Newcomers. B. Announcers. C. Onlookers. D. Job seekers.
5. How does the author help the refugees
A. By qualifying them for apprenticeship. B. By enhancing their language competence.
C. By integrating diverse cultures. D. By developing their interpersonal skills.
6. What does the author think of her deeds
A. Far-reaching. B. Time-consuming.
C. Pioneering. D. Demanding.
7. What does the author try to express through the text
A. One good turn deserves another. B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. A little kindness goes a long way. D. Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一位在德国的职业学校教师，班上常有多国学生，包括一些难民学生。多年来，作者利用课余时间，主动向他们提供提高语言技能和融入德国文化的建议，如读书、看报、使用语言学习应用等。尽管没有额外报酬，作者仍认为帮助这些年轻人是有价值的，因为他们的成功融入对于建设和谐社会和拓展个人视野都至关重要。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。结合第一段“More often than not, I will have a few refuges (难民) in the class, whose command of German is often rather incomplete regardless of whether they are blow-ins or not.(通常情况下，我在班上会遇到一些难民，不管他们是否是blow-ins，他们德语掌握得相当不全面)”中“refuges”可推知，这些难民可能是新来的也可能不是，德语水平都不高。划线词blow-ins与newcomers同义，意为“刚到的人；新来的人”。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the past few years, I have taken them aside and given them tips on how to improve their language skills via books, newspapers, apps or online grammar quizzes. And I have given them tips on how to integrate themselves into the German culture better.(在过去的几年里，我把他们叫到一边，告诉他们如何通过书籍、报纸、应用程序或在线语法测试来提高他们的语言技能。我给了他们一些建议，告诉他们如何更好地融入德国文化)”可知，作者通过提高他们的语言能力来帮助这些难民。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“but I feel it is important to help the youngsters in what I consider a valuable way, because once they pass their exams, they will be likely to set up a home and spend their working life here.(但我觉得以我认为有价值的方式帮助年轻人是很重要的，因为一旦他们通过考试，他们很可能会在这里建立一个家，并度过他们的职业生涯)”可推知，作者认为自己的行为可能帮助到年轻人，对他们的生活产生深远的影响。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段中“After class, I actually even took a couple of them to a noticeboard which displayed valuable information on a poster and they were grateful for this little gesture that only took a minute of my time.(下课后，我甚至把他们中的几个带到公告板前，上面有一张海报，上面显示着有价值的信息。我只花了一分钟的时间，但他们很感激)”、第四段中“but I feel it is important to help the youngsters in what I consider a valuable way, because once they pass their exams, they will be likely to set up a home and spend their working life here.(但我觉得以我认为有价值的方式帮助年轻人是很重要的，因为一旦他们通过考试，他们很可能会在这里建立一个家，并度过他们的职业生涯)”和最后一段中“It makes me happy to share my knowledge as a language teacher and spread those kindness ripples in everyday life.(作为一名语言教师，我乐于分享我的知识，并将这些善良的涟漪传播到日常生活中)”可知，文章讲述了多年来，作者利用课余时间，主动帮助难民学生提供提高语言技能和融入德国文化。尽管没有额外报酬，但作者认为自己的行为可能帮助到年轻人，对他们的生活产生深远的影响。由此推知，作者试图通过文章告诉我们：小小的善意会有大大的帮助。故选C项。

Playing a musical instrument or singing could help keep the brain healthy in old age, UK researchers suggest. In their report, published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. they say music should be considered as part of a lifestyle approach to maintaining the brain.
More than 1,100 people aged over 40, with a mean age of 68, were studied. Scientists observed their brain function data and looked at the effects of playing an instrument, singing. reading and listening to music, and musical ability. The researchers compared the cognitive (认知) data of those in the study who engaged in music in some way in their lives with those who never did.
Their results showed that people who played musical instrument s benefited the most, which may be because of the “multiple cognitive demands” of the activity. Playing the piano or keyboard appeared to be particularly beneficial, while simply listening to music did not appear to help cognitive health. The benefit seen with singing might be partly because of the known social aspects of being in a choir or group, the researchers say.
“Playing an instrument has a particularly big effect, and people who continue to play into an older are saw an additional benefit,” lead author Prof Corbett said. In the study, people who read music regularly had better numerical memory. “Our brain is a muscle like anything else and it needs to be exercised, and learning to read music is a bit like learning a new language — it’s challenging.” she said.
Researchers did not test potential benefits of taking up a music al hobby for the first time later in life, but Phof Corbett said she believed, based on current evidence, it would be “very beneficial”.
“The message is around how people can proactively reduce their risk of cognitive decline or dementia, and about engaging with music as a way of doing that.” However, Prof Corbett said, “It would be naive (幼稚的) to think taking up a musical instrument would mean you won’t develop dementia. It’s not as simple as that.”
8. What do researchers say about music
A. It offers a cure for mental disorder. B. It is supposed to be a lifestyle.
C. It keeps old brains in good shape. D. It is cognitively demanding.
9. How does singing affect people
A. It makes them feel a sense of relief. B. It makes them feel morally superior.
C. It makes them sort of socially active. D. It makes them better at reading music.
10. What’s Prof Corbett’s attitude towards taking up music in old age
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Critical.
11. What does Prof Corbett intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To defend an argument. B. To make a prediction.
C. To give an explanation. D. To correct a misconception.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Playing a musical instrument or singing could help keep the brain healthy in old age, UK researchers suggest.(英国研究人员称，演奏乐器或唱歌有助于在老年时保持大脑健康)”可知，研究人员认为音乐有助于在老年时保持大脑健康，即可以使年迈的大脑保持良好的状态。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The benefit seen with singing might be partly because of the known social aspects of being in a choir or group, the researchers say.(研究人员说，唱歌的好处可能部分是因为在合唱团或团体中已知的社交方面)”可知，唱歌通过在社交上更活跃来影响人们。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Researchers did not test potential benefits of taking up a musical hobby for the first time later in life, but Phof Corbett said she believed, based on current evidence, it would be “very beneficial”.(研究人员没有测试在晚年第一次从事音乐爱好的潜在益处，但科贝特教授说，根据目前的证据，她相信这将“非常有益”)”可推知，科贝特教授对老年人学习音乐持赞成态度。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Prof Corbett的话“It would be naive (幼稚的) to think taking up a musical instrument would mean you won’t develop dementia. It’s not as simple as that.(如果你认为学习一种乐器就不会患上痴呆症，那就太天真了。事情并没有那么简单)”可知，最后一段中，科贝特教授纠正了一个错误的观念。故选D项。

With the establishment of shared conservancies covering over 20% of the country’s territory, Namibia has pioneered a sustainable approach that balances conservation with economic development.
For the rhino rangers who devote their lives to safeguarding these iconic creatures, the job is rewarding. Living under the vast southern sky, they bear weeks of tented living, braving the dangers of tracking rhinos on foot. Despite the challenges, their serious commitment ensures the continued survival of the desert-adapted black rhino, a testament to the power of community-driven conservation efforts in preserving Earth’s oldest mammals.

Below are some tips that can be used to summarize as effectively as possible.
Understand the purpose of the text
It is impossible to give an overview of something you don’t fully understand. To put it in other words, the purpose of the writing should be clear for you.

Identify the main ideas
Summarizing is about taking relevant information out of a text and putting it into your own words. Reading the text, finding the main points, and connecting them gives you a summary. ____18____ If you have multiple paragraphs, you can take the central idea from each one for the summary. If it is a huge text, make a small outline highlighting the primary ideas.
Paraphrasing (意译) is not summarizing
____19____ While the former is usually the same length as the original text, the latter is always shorter. When paraphrasing, you can use all the ideas in a text, whether it is a primary or secondary idea, while a summary requires just primary ideas.
No personal opinions or comments
A summary should contain all the essential information of the original text. ____20____ You can summarize a text by understanding its meaning and finding primary ideas expressed in it. But be sure not to contain any personal beliefs or opinions.
A. A book summary can be in just a few sentences.
B. Thus, you should avoid giving your interpretations.
C. It is difficult to summarize if the author describes the information briefly.
D. Though they may follow the same pattern, there are key differences.

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。
It all started after a routine doctor visit. I’d been planning on getting healthy, but the number s showed that my vague efforts weren’t working at all. Weijing 325pounds, I found my blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure were all way over target. Things had to change. Dradically.
But I was definitely not doing another diet of cramming (塞满) denial and shame down my throat until I hit some number on a scale. I was tired of watching the weight return again and again. bringing with it more guilt and shame. Clearly, I needed to make lifestyle changes.
It occurred to me that I knew a lot about what didn’t work, since all my previous attempts had led me to this sorry state. I needed to get healthy, but in a slow, steady, rest-d-my-life kind of way.
I’ve been a software developer for twenty-five years, so naturally I went to that skill set. I thought. “What if the system I need to redesign is me ” I decided to reboot (重启) my own system. Could I make it easy Make it fun
That idea seems radical (过激的). It goes against diet culture and the advertising messages we’ve been bombarded with our entire lives. We’re told over and over that getting health y is difficult. No pain, no gain, right
But I found out it doesn’t have to be that way. I started upgrading my system by reviewing all the times I tried to get healthy in the past. I made a list of what didn’t work. Then I wrote down what did work, or at least worked for a while, and why it stopped working. There were some surprises. My membership at 15-Minute Fitness, for example, was a huge success. I worked out with a trainer for an intense fifteen minutes twice a week and saw huge gains.
One by one, I went through every failed attempt. I realized that the consistent elements across all of them were guilt, shame and internal bullying.

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then I came up with new rules.

After my first 100 days, I sat e big improvements.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Then I came up with new rules. Each rule was specifically tailored to address my previous failed attempts at getting healthy. Instead of forcing myself to have restrictive diets, I decided to focus on enjoyment and sustainability. I realized that treating myself with kindness and understanding was crucial for long-term success. Gradually, I started to notice a shift in my mindset. I no longer viewed healthy living as a chore but as a journey filled with opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Surprisingly, they turned out extraordinarily effective.
After my first 100 days, I saw big improvements. I was eating better and had more energy as I followed these new, healthy behaviors. My blood sugar had dropped fifteen points, my blood pressure had dropped forty points, and I’d lost sixty pounds. My doctor called me her greatest success story. All of this was done with love and self-care. I finally made it without medication, without surgery and without beating myself up. Through this experience I got a deeper insight into the importance of healthy lifestyle and learnt the lesson that every drop of sweat counts.

In my work as a vocational school teacher in Germany, some of my classes are full of students of different nationalities. More often than not, I will have a few refuges (难民) in the class, whose command of German is often rather incomplete regardless of whether they are blow-ins or not. Some of these students who manage to complete their three-year apprenticeships (学徒期) may actually continue to go to school to gain qualifications so they can attend university.
In the past few years, I have taken them aside and given them tips on how to improve their language skills via books, newspapers, apps or online grammar quizzes. And I have given them tips on how to integrate themselves into the German culture better.
Over the last few weeks, I have taken three young men aside and given them tips on how to improve their German such as joining sports clubs, finding ways to build their vocabulary outwith class and taking language immersion courses. After class, I actually even took a couple of them to a noticeboard which displayed valuable information on a poster and they were grateful for this little gesture that only took a minute of my time.
I do not get any extra money for offering this sort of advice and I have sacrificed the odd break over the years, but I feel it is important to help the youngsters in what I consider a valuable way, because once they pass their exams, they will be likely to set up a home and spend their working life here.
Good integration is so important as it builds bridges and expands horizons It makes me happy to share my knowledge as a language teacher and spread those kindness ripples in everyday life.
4. What does the underlined word “blow-ins” in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Newcomers. B. Announcers. C. Onlookers. D. Job seekers.
5 How does the author help the refugees
A. By qualifying them for apprenticeship. B. By enhancing their language competence.
C. By integrating diverse cultures. D. By developing their interpersonal skills.
6. What does the author think of her deeds
A. Far-reaching. B. Time-consuming.
C. Pioneering. D. Demanding.
7. What does the author try to express through the text
A. One good turn deserves another. B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. A little kindness goes a long way. D. Actions speak louder than words.

Playing a musical instrument or singing could help keep the brain healthy in old age, UK researchers suggest. In their report, published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. they say music should be considered as part of a lifestyle approach to maintaining the brain.
More than 1,100 people aged over 40, with a mean age of 68, were studied. Scientists observed their brain function data and looked at the effects of playing an instrument, singing. reading and listening to music, and musical ability. The researchers compared the cognitive (认知) data of those in the study who engaged in music in some way in their lives with those who never did.
Their results showed that people who played musical instrument s benefited the most, which may be because of the “multiple cognitive demands” of the activity. Playing the piano or keyboard appeared to be particularly beneficial, while simply listening to music did not appear to help cognitive health. The benefit seen with singing might be partly because of the known social aspects of being in a choir or group, the researchers say.
“Playing an instrument has a particularly big effect, and people who continue to play into an older are saw an additional benefit,” lead author Prof Corbett said. In the study, people who read music regularly had better numerical memory. “Our brain is a muscle like anything else and it needs to be exercised, and learning to read music is a bit like learning a new language — it’s challenging.” she said.
Researchers did not test potential benefits of taking up a music al hobby for the first time later in life, but Phof Corbett said she believed, based on current evidence, it would be “very beneficial”.
“The message is around how people can proactively reduce their risk of cognitive decline or dementia, and about engaging with music as a way of doing that.” However, Prof Corbett said, “It would be naive (幼稚的) to think taking up a musical instrument would mean you won’t develop dementia. It’s not as simple as that.”
8. What do researchers say about music
A. It offers a cure for mental disorder. B. It is supposed to be a lifestyle.
C. It keeps old brains in good shape. D. It is cognitively demanding.
9. How does singing affect people

In the vast desert plains of northwest Namibia, rhino (犀牛) trackers start a journey to monitor the desert-adapted black rhinos. These creatures, known for their poor eyesight, walk freely in this remote region.
Led by Sebulon Hoeb, the principal field office r of Save the Rhino Trust Namibia, the tracker carefully approach a grazing rhino named Matty 2. identified by his partner Ebson Mbunguha. Despite the windy conditions working in their favor, they maintain a safe distance, aware of the potential danger of encountering these massive animals.
Every day and night, devoted trackers and local community ranger s patrol (巡逻) the vast expanse of land, totaling 25, 000 square kilometers, where the desert-adapted black rhino thrives. Armed with extensive knowledge of the rhinos’ behaviors and characteristics, they carefully document their observations, contributing to conservation efforts and fighting poaching (偷猎), which remains a constant threat due to the high demand for rhino horns.
Despite challenges, Namibia’s community conservation model has succeeded in protecting the rhino population. By prioritizing the preservation of wildlife and ensuring local communities to benefit from their natural resources, Namibia has become a lighthouse of conservation efforts in Africa. Save the Rhino Trust, established in 1982, has played a vital role in this achievement, witnessing a remarkable recovery in the black rhino population.
The significance of community conservation is stressed by Namibia’s commitment to environmental protection, written in its constitution since gaining independence in 1990. With the establishment of shared conservancies covering over 20% of the country’s territory, Namibia has pioneered a sustainable approach that balances conservation with economic development.
For the rhino rangers who devote their lives to safeguarding these iconic creatures the job is rewarding. Living under the vast southern sky, they bear weeks of tented living, braving the dangers of tracking rhinos on foot. Despite the challenges, their serious commitment ensures the continued survival of the desert-adapted black rhino, a testament to the power of community-driven conservation efforts in preserving Earth’s oldest mammals.

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。
It all started after a routine doctor visit. I’d been planning on getting healthy, but the number s showed that my vague efforts weren’t working at all. Weijing 325pounds, I found my blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure were all way over target. Things had to change. Dradically.
But I was definitely not doing another diet of cramming (塞满) denial and shame down my throat until I hit some number on a scale. I was tired of watching the weight return again and again. bringing with it more guilt and shame. Clearly, I needed to make lifestyle changes.
It occurred to me that I knew a lot about what didn’t work, since all my previous attempts had led me to this sorry state. I needed to get healthy, but in a slow, steady, rest-d-my-life kind of way.
I’ve been a software developer for twenty-five years, so naturally I went to that skill set. I thought. “What if the system I need to redesign is me ” I decided to reboot (重启) my own system. Could I make it easy Make it fun
That idea seems radical (过激的). It goes against diet culture and the advertising messages we’ve been bombarded with our entire lives. We’re told over and over that getting health y is difficult. No pain, no gain, right
But I found out it doesn’t have to be that way. I started upgrading my system by reviewing all the times I tried to get healthy in the past. I made a list of what didn’t work. Then I wrote down what did work, or at least worked for a while, and why it stopped working. There were some surprises. My membership at 15-Minute Fitness, for example, was a huge success. I worked out with a trainer for an intense fifteen minutes twice a week and saw huge gains.
One by one, I went through every failed attempt. I realized that the consistent elements across all of them were guilt, shame and internal bullying.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
