Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.
It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.
Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.
24. What do we know about Anne of Green Gables
A. It is a recent release. B. It covers real events.
C. It is a timeless classic. D. It features world history.
25 What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3
A. She is true to herself. B. She achieves her goal.
C. She is talented in drawing. D. She cares about others.
26. Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19
A. Time waits for no man. B. Do one thing at a time.
C. Fortune favours the brave. D. Stop and smell the roses.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell a story. B. To remember a writer.
C. To teach a lesson. D. To recommend a book.
C
Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.
The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers.
In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”
The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.
Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”
28. What does the robot do
A. Plant new tulips. B. Clear troubled bulbs.
C. Kill deadly virus. D. Harvest grown flowers.
29. What can we infer from Visser’s words
A. He dreams of a sports car. B. Tulip fields are low in production.
C. The robot is worth the cost. D. Farmers lack technical knowledge.
30. What is the key to making the robots work effectively
A. GPS systems. B. High-tech cameras.
C. Daily training. D. Human knowledge.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip Farming
B. Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging Farmers
C. Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the Netherlands
D. Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip Businesses
D
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
32. What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Make sense. B. Face doubts.
C. Bring relief. D. Start debates.
33. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior
A. Inability to tell right from wrong.
B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends.
D. Lack of social experience.
34. How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study
A. It starts fights between them.
B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence.
D. It helps them to learn better.
35. What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom
A. Conduct group discussion.
B. Improve time management.
C. Encourage personal opinions.
D. Develop decision-making skills.

Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.
It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
The book teaches me a lot of things the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.
Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.
24. What do we know about Anne of Green Gables
A. It is a recent release. B. It covers real events.
C. It is a timeless classic. D. It features world history.
25. What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3

A. Time waits for no man. B. Do one thing at a time.
C. Fortune favours the brave. D. Stop and smell the roses.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell a story. B. To remember a writer.
C. To teach a lesson. D. To recommend a book.

第24题 C 推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present. (《绿山墙的安妮》是儿童的理想之作——当人们看到封面或翻阅这部杰作的封底时,可能会这么认为。它于1904年首次出版,作者是露西·莫德·蒙哥马利,但它仍然与我们忘记生活在当下的当今世界联系在一起。)”可知,《绿山墙的安妮》是一部永恒的经典之作。故选C。
第25题 A 推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. (这本书教会了我很多东西,最重要的是——做你自己。为什么我们需要假装成别人,给自己树立一个虚假的形象,让自己看起来更好?我们需要意识到,我们在自己的方式上都是不同的,并首先接受自己。)”可知,第一句是本段的主旨句,告诉我们本段主旨是:做你自己。下文用安妮的例子来证明这一观点。从第三段我们可以了解到安妮忠于自己。故选A。
第26题 D 推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures (我相信,最美好、最甜蜜的日子并不是那些发生了任何精彩、美妙或激动人心的事情的日子,而是那些带来简单小快乐的日子)”可知,生活中的点滴小事情就是最美好、最甜蜜的日子,因此最符合第19章的引文的是:停下来闻一闻玫瑰花。故选D。
第27题 D 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey. (它以其振奋人心、令人耳目一新的故事,为寻求一段快乐而丰富的文学之旅的各个年龄段的人们提供了一本精彩的读物。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是推荐一本书。故选D。
C
Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.
The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers.
In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”
The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.
Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”
28. What does the robot do
A. Plant new tulips. B. Clear troubled bulbs.
C. Kill deadly virus. D. Harvest grown flowers.
29. What can we infer from Visser’s words
A. He dreams of a sports car. B. Tulip fields are low in production.
C. The robot is worth the cost. D. Farmers lack technical knowledge.
30. What is the key to making the robots work effectively
A. GPS systems. B. High-tech cameras.
C. Daily training. D. Human knowledge.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip Farming
B. Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging Farmers
C. Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the Netherlands
D. Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip Businesses
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰郁金香田中使用的高科技机器人Theo的工作情况,包括其如何检测并杀死生病的郁金香鳞茎以防止病毒传播,以及这些机器人在郁金香产业中的重要性。
第28题 B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs(鳞茎)to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus(病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested.(机器人沿着一排排黄色和红色的郁金香滚动,检查每棵植物,必要时,杀死患病的鳞茎,以防止郁金香破裂病毒的传播。病毒削弱了球茎,使它们无法开花。在收获后,死球茎会在分拣中心从健康球茎中取出。)”可知,机器人Theo在郁金香田中滚动,检查每株植物,并在必要时杀死生病的鳞茎以防止郁金香破碎病毒的传播。因此,它的工作是清除有问题的鳞茎。故选B。
第29题 C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”(Allan Visser是第三代郁金香种植者,他正在使用这个机器人。“你可以用机器人的价格买一辆非常好的跑车,”Visser说。该机器人售价18.5万欧元。“它比跑车慢得多,在田地里的履带上滚动,”他补充说。“但我选择机器人是因为跑车看不到病态的郁金香。现在真正能做到这一点的人越来越少了。”)”可知,从Visser的话中,我们可以推断出他认为这个机器人是值得这个价格的。他提到虽然机器人的价格相当于一辆很漂亮的跑车,但是跑车并不能看到生病的郁金香,而机器人可以。这暗示了他认为机器人虽然昂贵,但其能够执行的工作和带来的效益使得这个价格是值得的。故选C。
第30题 D 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.(他们的人工智能模型检查照片,寻找生病植物上的迹象,并决定哪些需要杀死。这位工程师解释说,机器人使用GPS来确保它们摧毁的是正确的郁金香。这台机器的核心是输入人工智能模型的知识,这些知识来自于经验丰富的郁金香种植者,比如Theo van der Voort,他给这台机器人取了名字。)”可知,机器人的核心是AI模型中的知识,这些知识来自于像Theo van der Voort这样有经验的郁金香农民。这表明,使机器人有效工作的关键是人类的知识和经验,它们被输入到AI模型中,以便机器人能够准确地检测和处理生病的郁金香。故选D。
第31题 A 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip(郁金香)fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.( Theo不分昼夜,连周末都在荷兰的郁金香地里工作,从不抱怨肌肉疲劳。这怎么可能呢?Theo是以一位退休农民的名字命名的,他是一个高科技机器人,在田地里消灭疾病。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了机器人Theo在荷兰郁金香田中的应用和其在提高生产效率、预防病毒传播方面的重要性。选项A“Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip Farming (Theo的守望:郁金香农业的进步)”既突出了主角机器人Theo,又表明了它所带来的农业进步,最能概括文章的主旨。故选A。
D
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
32. What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Make sense. B. Face doubts.
C. Bring relief. D. Start debates.
33. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior
A. Inability to tell right from wrong.
B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends.
D. Lack of social experience.
34. How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study
A. It starts fights between them.
B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence.
D. It helps them to learn better.
35. What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom
A. Conduct group discussion.
B. Improve time management.
C. Encourage personal opinions.
D. Develop decision-making skills.
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了青少年与同龄人在一起时更容易冒险的原因,并通过实验表明同龄人的影响也会促使青少年在学习方面取得更好的表现,专家建议利用青少年对朋友的敏感来促进教育。
第32题 A 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water.”(青少年的父母往往不信任他们孩子的朋友,担心他们的孩子会被同龄人怂恿去做一些愚蠢甚至危险的事情。他们的担忧hold water。)和下文“In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.”(在之前的一项研究中,心理学家劳伦斯·斯坦伯格发现,与单独驾驶或与成年人驾驶相比,与同龄乘客一起驾驶的青少年司机发生交通事故的风险更高。)可知,下文用一项研究结论来说明青少年与同龄人在一起时,做一些愚蠢甚至危险的事情,发生意外的可能性确实更高,所以“父母的担心是有道理的”,hold water与make sense意思相近,意为“有道理”。故选A项。
第33题 B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.”(当人们体验到一些有益的东西时,大脑的奖励系统就会被激活,比如吃到美味的食物,这会让他们感到满足。在这种情况下,青少年获得的奖励更大,这促使他们寻求更高风险的体验。)可知,青少年之所以会有危险行为,是因为他们寻求奖励,寻求满足感,所以获得满足感是青少年危险行为背后的原因。故选B项。
第34题 D 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.”(有同伴的玩家更愿意冒险,试图找出哪些牌组可以帮助他们获胜。结果表明,与同龄人一起玩的青少年比单独玩的青少年更有探索行为,学习速度更快,在任务中表现更好。)可知,在最新的研究中,有同伴的玩家更愿意冒险,而这种冒险可以帮助青少年学得更快,表现更好。故选D项。
第35题 A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education.”(现在,一些专家建议,我们应该利用青少年对朋友在场的敏锐感知来改善教育。)和Blakemore的话“Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,”(在教育背景下,冒险是一项重要的技能,它能够促进进步和创造力的发展。)可推知,Blakemore会建议教师在课堂上进行小组讨论等活动,利用青少年对朋友在场的敏锐感知来提高他们的冒险精神和创造力。故选A项。

The statue, as it stands today in the Louvre, has been partly repaired. The right wing is a modern copy, but the missing feet, arms, and head have not been recovered, giving viewers much to imagine. For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. ____39____ She must have simply raised her right arm in greeting. Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face.
____40____ As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before.

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了卢浮宫里的Winged Victory雕像的历史,艺术形态和历史价值。
第36题 C 下文“Later it was brought to Paris and has been on display in the Louvre since 1866. (后来被带到巴黎,自1866年以来一直在卢浮宫展出。)”说明的是雕像的历史变迁,因此C项“它于1863年在爱琴海的一个希腊岛屿上被发现”符合语境,故选C。
第37题 F 上文“Winged Victory has just flown down from the sky (Winged Victory刚刚从空中飞下来)”说明的是雕像的状态,空格处承接上文“飞下来”,然后“降落在船顶”,因此F项“她登上舰顶,庆祝一场古老战役的胜利”符合语境,故选F。
第38题 E 上文“The wind blows her dress across her body, gathering it in heavy folds, and streaming behind her. When viewers look at her, they can almost feel the wind from the sea. (风把她的裙子吹到身上,卷起厚厚的褶皱,流到身后。当观众看着她时,他们几乎能感觉到来自大海的风)”说明雕像的形态栩栩如生,因此E项“他们很难相信这么逼真的雕像是石头做的”符合语境,故选E。
第39题 A 上文“For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. (例如,耐克是否将物体握在她的手中?事实上,人们在1950年发现了她的右手,她的手指是张开的)”说明空格处回答了上文提出的问题:是否将物体握在她的手中?因此A项“这意味着她不能拿任何东西”符合语境,故选A。
第40题 G 上文“Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face. (她的头可能直视前方,观众只能猜测她的面部特征)”说明Winged Victory的头部是不存在的,是不完整的,以及下文“As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before (作为现存为数不多的希腊原始雕塑之一,它将继续吸引观众,就像它以前毫无疑问地那样)”说明Winged Victory的重要意义和价值,可知,空格处起着承上启下的作用,因此G项“尽管Winged Victory未完全幸存,但它确实是一部杰作”符合语境,故选G。
