Nilas Corneliussen is the Swedish-born head chef of a Nordic-Asian combination restaurant in Thailand’s capital.
While Thailand had long appealed to him, even in his youth, Corneliussen said he never imagined a career in cooking. Instead, he was drawn to Muay Thai, or Thai boxing. During high school breaks, he even traveled alone to Thailand to join Muay Thai training camps. During those trips, he fell in love with the country. After suffering a hand injury while boxing, he was forced to move on from Muay Thai. However, he didn’t stop thinking about Thailand.
The very day after graduating from high school in Sweden, Corneliussen booked a one-way ticket to Bangkok and applied for a study visa. It wasn’t until halfway through his studies, from 2010 to 2014, that he was invited to the birthday party of a fellow student and friend, whose parents ran local Thai restaurants. The atmosphere inside the kitchen attracted him—everyone had to come together to make it happen.
At the time, Corneliussen didn’t think he could run after his new enthusiasm for cooking in Thailand. Instead, he thought it would be best to go back to his roots and understand the flavors he’d grown up with before cooking anything, so he finished his studies and moved back to Europe. It’s a view he doesn’t agree with today. He thinks now that no cooking style is more important than another.
Starting out in a Stockholm restaurant, he honed his skills and finally won the silver in the world’s most famous international cooking competition as part of the Swedish team. Despite the success, he returned to Thailand with his love for cooking arts in 2022.
“In Thailand, I get this feeling of belonging and connection to the people, food and culture,” he says, recalling his first days as a foreigner in the Thailand.
4. What inspired Corneliussen to become a cook
A. The team work in the kitchen. B. Delicious and unique Thai meals.
C Recommendation of a Thai friend. D. The inconvenient life in Bangkok.
5. What does the underlined word “honed” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Shared. B. Improved. C. Recovered. D. Assessed.
6. What can be learned about Corneliussen according to the text
A. He showed great interest in cooking when young.
B. He was injured when cooking for the first time.
C. He considers all cooking styles are of equal importance.
D. He thinks his returning to Europe quite a wise decision.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A Swedish-born head chef in Thailand. B. A Swedish child’s love for Thailand.
C. Different cooking styles in the world. D. A Nordic-Asian combination restaurant.

The winner of the Natural History Museum of London’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award is Nima Sarikhani, for her image of a polar bear sleeping on sea ice, which is called “Ice Bed”. It was taken in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago.
Sarikhani spent three days looking for polar bears but without success as they were trapped in a thick fog. But then, as the ship came across some sea ice, she saw two polar bears. She and her team tracked them for eight hours. And under the light of the midnight sun, the bear clawed out a bed on a small iceberg before sleeping.
The photograph inspires strong emotions in all its viewers. While climate change is the biggest challenge for humans, the photograph also inspires hope that there is still time to fix the mess we have caused.
Polar bears are known to dig themselves spots to sleep in, which are sometimes referred to as “day bed”. They’re also known to take one-to two-hour-long sleeps, especially after a good meal.
According to the museum, the area where the polar bear was taken on film is among the most isolated (孤立) in the world, and holds a population of 19 polar bears that rely on the sea ice to travel and hunt offshore. But air temperatures in Svalbard have increased by 3℃ to 5℃over the past 40 to 50 years, which has resulted in heavy winter rainfall and some areas being ice-free most of the year. While the bears that follow sea ice may still be able to hunt year-round, this is increasingly over deeper waters, which may be less productive.
Less sea ice for polar bears to use as a way to safely travel has also led to the animals having less genetic (基因的) diversity. There aren’t as many opportunities for different groups to mix. This is leading to increased inbreeding among local bears.
At present, Svalbard’s polar bear population is still considered to be stable, but as global temperatures continue to increase, that may not be the case for long.
8. What made it difficult for Sarikhani to spot polar bears in the beginning
A. The outdated equipment. B. The terrible weather.
C. The lack of support. D. The tight schedule.
9. What poses a risk to polar bears in Svalbard
A. The loss of sea ice. B. The extremely low temperature.
C. The isolated position. D. The increase in genetic diversity.
10. What is the author’s attitude to the future of Svalbard’s polar bears
A. Uncaring. B. Worried. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Norway’s Svalbard Archipelago B. The Biggest Challenge for Polar Bears
C. An Award-Winning Photo “Ice Bed” D. The Reduction in Polar Bear Population
D
It is thought that music can make maths more enjoyable, keep students concentrating and help ease fear or anxiety they have about maths. Techniques for integrating music into maths lessons range from clapping to pieces with different rhythms when learning numbers and fractions (分数) to using maths to design musical instruments.
Research done before has shown that children who are better at music also do better in maths. But whether teaching music to youngsters actually improves their maths has been less clear. Researchers searched for studies on the topic published between 1975 and 2022 and then combined the results of 55 studies from around the world to come up with an answer.
According to the researchers, there are three types of musical interventions: standardized musical interventions (children sing, listen to and compose music), instrumental musical interventions (children learn how to play instruments), and music-maths integrated interventions.
Students took maths tests before and after taking part in the intervention and the change in their scores was compared with that of youngsters who didn’t take part in any intervention. The use of music, whether in separate lessons or as part of maths classes, was related to greater improvement in maths over time. Around 73% of students who had integrated lessons, 69% of students who learned how to play instruments and 58% of students who had normal music lessons do significantly better than youngsters who didn’t have any type of musical intervention.
The results also show that music helps more with learning arithmetic (算术) than other types of maths and has a bigger effect on younger pupils and those learning more basic mathematical concepts. Some experts point out that maths and music have much in common, such as the use of some symbols. Both subjects also require abstract thought and quantitative reasoning. Arithmetic may lend itself particularly well to being taught through music because key concepts, such as fractions and ratios, are also basic to music. However, there are still many things that need improvement about the study.
12. How did the researchers make the new findings
A. By experimenting with different musical instruments.
B. By referring to previous studies.
C. By organizing maths tests regularly.
D. By conducting surveys on the Internet.
13. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 4 mainly focus on
A. Its principle. B. Its process. C. Its background. D. Its result.
14. Which of the following benefits students most in learning maths
A. Providing music-maths integrated classes.
B. Teaching students to play musical instruments.
C. Permitting students to compose music to their taste.
D. Allowing students to listen to their favorite songs after class.
15. What might the author continue talking about
A. The practical uses of the findings. B. The difficulty in combining music and maths.
C. The similarities between maths and music. D. The specific limitation of the study.

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 writing journey began when I was a little girl of four. I wrote a story about a native American girl named White Lily as she and her family prepared to travel to their winter camping grounds. From that one-page short story, I continued writing as I grew older, filling notebook after notebook with tales of fantastic kingdoms, thrilling journeys to the stars, and tales of noble heroes who faced deadly groups of enemies. But sometimes, inspiration would fail me—I’d find myself staring at an empty page, and the words wouldn’t come no matter how hard I tried.
Being home educated, my awesome teacher was my mom. She gave me the freedom to explore different forms of writing and practice my skills. And when I hit a brick wall one day, I asked her how on earth to overcome the terrible curse (诅咒) of writer’s block.
She had a unique way. “You just need to write a stump (树桩) story!” she declared. “That’s what to do when you get stumped.”
“What should it be about ” I asked her, my eyes wide.
“Why, a STUMP, of course!”
I was puzzled. Why on earth would writing a story about an actual stump help me work out which heroic adventure I should write about next I stormed out of the room, and grabbed my notebook. Pencil in hand, I was angry as I stared at that teasing, empty page. Rolling my eyes, I eventually gave in. “At least this is easier than writing a long and complex ad venture story,” I thought to myself. And I wrote a very short story about an actual stump in the forest.
After writing that boring but inspiring story, I felt better. I had a much clearer idea of what to write. So I began to write a story about a brave prince and his little sister who got into trouble more often than not.
注意：1. 写作词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I kept writing on the wonderful afternoon.

Nilas Corneliussen is the Swedish-born head chef of a Nordic-Asian combination restaurant in Thailand’s capital.
While Thailand had long appealed to him even in his youth, Corneliussen said he never imagined a career in cooking. Instead, he was drawn to Muay Thai, or Thai boxing. During high school breaks, he even traveled alone to Thailand to join Muay Thai training camps. During those trips, he fell in love with the country. After suffering a hand injury while boxing, he was forced to move on from Muay Thai. However, he didn’t stop thinking about Thailand.
The very day after graduating from high school in Sweden, Corneliussen booked a one-way ticket to Bangkok and applied for a study visa. It wasn’t until halfway through his studies, from 2010 to 2014, that he was invited to the birthday party of a fellow student and friend, whose parents ran local Thai restaurants. The atmosphere inside the kitchen attracted him—everyone had to come together to make it happen.
At the time, Corneliussen didn’t think he could run after his new enthusiasm for cooking in Thailand. Instead, he thought it would be best to go back to his roots and understand the flavors he’d grown up with before cooking anything, so he finished his studies and moved back to Europe. It’s a view he doesn’t agree with today. He thinks now that no cooking style is more important than another.
Starting out in a Stockholm restaurant, he honed his skills and finally won the silver in the world’s most famous international cooking competition as part of the Swedish team. Despite the success, he returned to Thailand with his love for cooking arts in 2022.
“In Thailand, I get this feeling of belonging and connection to the people, food and culture,” he says, recalling his first days as a foreigner in the Thailand.
4. What inspired Corneliussen to become a cook
A. The team work in the kitchen. B. Delicious and unique Thai meals.
C. Recommendation of a Thai friend. D. The inconvenient life in Bangkok.
5. What does the underlined word “honed” in paragraph 5 mean

6. What can be learned about Corneliussen according to the text
A. He showed great interest in cooking when young.
B. He was injured when cooking for the first time.
C. He considers all cooking styles are of equal importance.
D. He thinks his returning to Europe quite a wise decision.
7. What is the text mainly about

The winner of the Natural History Museum of London’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award is Nima Sarikhani, for her image of a polar bear sleeping on sea ice, which is called “Ice Bed”. It was taken in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago.
Sarikhani spent three days looking for polar bears but without success as they were trapped in a thick fog. But then, as the ship came across some sea ice, she saw two polar bears. She and her team tracked them for eight hours. And under the light of the midnight sun, the bear clawed out a bed on a small iceberg before sleeping.
The photograph inspires strong emotions in all its viewers. While climate change is the biggest challenge for humans, the photograph also inspires hope that there is still time to fix the mess we have caused.
Polar bears are known to dig themselves spots to sleep in, which are sometimes referred to as “day bed”. They’re also known to take one-to two-hour-long sleeps, especially after a good meal.
According to the museum, the area where the polar bear was taken on film is among the most isolated (孤立) in the world, and holds a population of 19 polar bears that rely on the sea ice to travel and hunt offshore. But air temperatures in Svalbard have increased by 3℃ to 5℃over the past 40 to 50 years, which has resulted in heavy winter rainfall and some areas being ice-free most of the year. While the bears that follow sea ice may still be able to hunt year-round, this is increasingly over deeper waters, which may be less productive.
Less sea ice for polar bears to use as a way to safely travel has also led to the animals having less genetic (基因的) diversity. There aren’t as many opportunities for different groups to mix. This is leading to increased inbreeding among local bears.
At present, Svalbard’s polar bear population is still considered to be stable, but as global temperatures continue to increase, that may not be the case for long.
8. What made it difficult for Sarikhani to spot polar bears in the beginning
A. The outdated equipment. B. The terrible weather.
C. The lack of support. D. The tight schedule.
9. What poses a risk to polar bears in Svalbard
A. The loss of sea ice. B. The extremely low temperature.
C. The isolated position. D. The increase in genetic diversity.
10. What is the author’s attitude to the future of Svalbard’s polar bears
A. Uncaring. B. Worried. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Norway’s Svalbard Archipelago B. The Biggest Challenge for Polar Bears
C. An Award-Winning Photo “Ice Bed” D. The Reduction in Polar Bear Population
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Sarikhani spent three days looking for polar bears but without success as they were trapped in a thick fog.(Sarikhani花了三天时间寻找北极熊，但没有成功，因为他们被困在浓雾中)”可知，糟糕的天气状况使发现北极熊的工作非常困难。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“According to the museum, the area where the polar bear was taken on film is among the most isolated (孤立) in the world, and holds a population of 19 polar bears that rely on the sea ice to travel and hunt offshore. But air temperatures in Svalbard have increased by 3℃ to 5℃over the past 40 to 50 years, which has resulted in heavy winter rainfall and some areas being ice-free most of the year.(据博物馆介绍，拍摄北极熊的地区是世界上最与世隔绝的地区之一，这里有19只北极熊，它们依靠海冰在海上旅行和捕猎。但在过去的40到50年里，斯瓦尔巴群岛的气温上升了3到5摄氏度，这导致了冬季的强降雨，一些地区一年中大部分时间都没有冰)”可知，北极熊依靠海冰在海上行走和捕猎， 但是随着气温上升，海冰减少，它们捕猎的成果可能会减少。也就是说，海冰的减少会对北极熊造成威胁。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“At present, Svalbard’s polar bear population is still considered to be stable, but as global temperatures continue to increase, that may not be the case for long.(目前，斯瓦尔巴群岛的北极熊数量仍然被认为是稳定的，但随着全球气温的持续上升，这种情况可能不会持续太久)”可推知，作者担忧该地区的北极熊。故选B。

It is thought that music can make maths more enjoyable, keep students concentrating and help ease fear or anxiety they have about maths. Techniques for integrating music into maths lessons range from clapping to pieces with different rhythms when learning numbers and fractions (分数) to using maths to design musical instruments.
Research done before has shown that children who are better at music also do better in maths. But whether teaching music to youngsters actually improves their maths has been less clear. Researchers searched for studies on the topic published between 1975 and 2022 and then combined the results of 55 studies from around the world to come up with an answer.
According to the researchers, there are three types of musical interventions: standardized musical interventions (children sing, listen to and compose music), instrumental musical interventions (children learn how to play instruments), and music-maths integrated interventions.
Students took maths tests before and after taking part in the intervention and the change in their scores was compared with that of youngsters who didn’t take part in any intervention. The use of music, whether in separate lessons or as part of maths classes, was related to greater improvement in maths over time. Around 73% of students who had integrated lessons, 69% of students who learned how to play instruments and 58% of students who had normal music lessons do significantly better than youngsters who didn’t have any type of musical intervention.
The results also show that music helps more with learning arithmetic (算术) than other types of maths and has a bigger effect on younger pupils and those learning more basic mathematical concepts. Some experts point out that maths and music have much in common, such as the use of some symbols. Both subjects also require abstract thought and quantitative reasoning. Arithmetic may lend itself particularly well to being taught through music because key concepts, such as fractions and ratios, are also basic to music. However, there are still many things that need improvement about the study.
12. How did the researchers make the new findings
A. By experimenting with different musical instruments.
B. By referring to previous studies.
C. By organizing maths tests regularly.
D. By conducting surveys on the Internet.
13. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 4 mainly focus on
A. Its principle. B. Its process. C. Its background. D. Its result.
14. Which of the following benefits students most in learning maths
A. Providing music-maths integrated classes.
B. Teaching students to play musical instruments.
C. Permitting students to compose music to their taste.
D. Allowing students to listen to their favorite songs after class.
15. What might the author continue talking about
A. The practical uses of the findings. B. The difficulty in combining music and maths.
C. The similarities between maths and music. D. The specific limitation of the study.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Students took maths tests before and after taking part in the intervention and the change in their scores was compared with that of youngsters who didn’t take part in any intervention.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。中国东北吉林省长春市双阳区的新家村有五座博物馆，不仅是农村村民的文化中心，帮助他们更多地了解过去，记录当地历史，而且还可以鼓励来自城市的游客参观。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：通常情况下，博物馆与大型建筑、引人注目的亮点和市中心地区的大量藏品联系在一起。主语与谓语构成被动关系，且根据状语“As is often the case”可知，此处表示常识情况， museums与 associate之间是被动关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为museums，谓语用复数。故填are associated。
【37题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：在宽阔的玉米地附近，有一个博物馆，主要介绍马虎戏，这是中国东北满族的传统艺术。陈述事实用一般现在时，且本句为倒装结构，主语是a museum，故谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填is。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这个博物馆坐落在一个以前是小学的地方，有五个展览室，展出了相当多的物品，包括手稿、面具、服装、乐器和书籍。句子谓语动词是has，空格处使用非谓语动词，此处museum与lie之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作伴随状语。首字母大写。故填Lying。
【39题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：这个博物馆坐落在一个以前是小学的地方，有五个展览室，展出了相当多的物品，包括手稿、面具、服装、乐器和书籍。object为可数名词，其前有considerable修饰，故应用复数形式。故填objects。
【40题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：此外，博物馆里从当地人那里收集的物品，比如传统农具，也反映了这个位于中国东北吉林省长春市双阳区的村庄的历史。句子谓语动词是reflect，空格处填入非谓语动词，此处collect与items之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词短语作后置定语。故填collected。
41题详解】
考查代词。句意：一位村民说，他从来没有想到这些旧东西可以用。此处考查固定句型it occurred to sb. that...其中it为形式主语， 真正的主语为that引导的从句。故填it。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：如果不是专门收集在博物馆里，它们可能早就被扔掉了。此处应用副词specially作状语修饰动词gathered。故填specially。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在人口只有2800人左右的新家村，现在有五座博物馆建在当地民居附近。引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Xinjia village，在从句中作主语，指物。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：博物馆是农村村民的文化中心，帮助他们了解过去，记录当地历史。介词as在此处意为“作为”。function as sth.“起……作用； 具有……功能”。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：博物馆是农村村民的文化中心，帮助他们了解过去，记录当地历史。此处应用and连接省略to的动词不定式learn和record。故填and。

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 writing journey began when I was a little girl of four. I wrote a story about a native American girl named White Lily as she and her family prepared to travel to their winter camping grounds. From that one-page short story, I continued writing as I grew older, filling notebook after notebook with tales of fantastic kingdoms, thrilling journeys to the stars, and tales of noble heroes who faced deadly groups of enemies. But sometimes, inspiration would fail me—I’d find myself staring at an empty page, and the words wouldn’t come no matter how hard I tried.
Being home educated, my awesome teacher was my mom. She gave me the freedom to explore different forms of writing and practice my skills. And when I hit a brick wall one day, I asked her how on earth to overcome the terrible curse (诅咒) of writer’s block.
She had a unique way. “You just need to write a stump (树桩) story!” she declared. “That’s what to do when you get stumped.”
“What should it be about ” I asked her, my eyes wide.
“Why, a STUMP, of course!”
I was puzzled. Why on earth would writing a story about an actual stump help me work out which heroic adventure I should write about next I stormed out of the room, and grabbed my notebook. Pencil in hand, I was angry as I stared at that teasing, empty page. Rolling my eyes, I eventually gave in. “At least this is easier than writing a long and complex ad venture story,” I thought to myself. And I wrote a very short story about an actual stump in the forest.
After writing that boring but inspiring story, I felt better. I had a much clearer idea of what to write. So I began to write a story about a brave prince and his little sister who got into trouble more often than not.

I kept writing on the wonderful afternoon.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This experience has taught me a valuable lesson.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I kept writing on the wonderful afternoon. I finished my story when the sunlight was turning golden and streamed through my windows. I got up and showed my “stump story” as well as the prince story to Mom and forcedly admitted that it had helped a lot. Mom explained that sometimes all that I needed to do was something boring but inspiring. I agreed with her because it helped me see that writing about my hero is a lot more fun than writing about that dumb old stump!
This experience has taught me a valuable lesson. Writing doesn’t always have to start with a grand idea or a burst of inspiration. Sometimes, it’s about showing up at the blank page and believing that the act of putting pen to paper will guide you to where you need to go. From that day forward, whenever writer’s block threatens to stall my creative flow, I’ll remember the stump story. It has become a reminder that inspiration isn’t always waiting to strike like lightning. Sometimes, it’s cultivated through the simple act of persisting, even if that means writing about something as ordinary as a tree stump in the woods. And in those moments of perseverance some of the most extraordinary stories are born.
