第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The skin is an essential part of your body and is its largest organ. As you can imagine, getting burnt can lead to very serious injuries. The first and most important step in the treatment of burns is giving first aid.
CAUSES OF BURNS
You can get burnt by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation, the sun, electricity, acids, or other chemicals.
TYPES OF BURNS
Burns are divided into three types, depending on the depth of skin damage.
● First- degree burns These affect only the top few millimetres of the skin. These burns are not serious. Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by other minor household incidents.
● Second- degree burns These go below the top layer of the skin. They are serious and take a few weeks to get better. Examples include burns caused by hot liquids.
● Third- degree burns These affect every layer of the skin, and sometimes the tissue under it. Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or petrol fires. These burns cause very severe internal injuries and the victim must go to the hospital at once.
FIRST-AID TREATMENT
1. Place burns under cool running water, especially within the first ten minutes. The cool water stops the burning process and reduces the pain and swelling.
2. Dry the burnt area gently with a clean cloth.
3. Remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric sticking to the burnt skin.
4. Cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth. Applying oil to the injured areas is a bad idea, as it will keep the heat in the wounds and may cause infection.
5. If burns are on the face, make sure the victim can still breathe.
6. If the victim is suffering from second or third- degree burns, there is an urgent need to take him/ her to the hospital at once.
1. What is an example of a first- degree burn mentioned in the text
A. A slight kitchen burn. B. A burn from very hot water.
C. A severe burn from a petrol fire. D. A deep tissue damage from steam.
2. Why shouldn't oil be applied to burn
A. It is a poor conductor of heat.
B It can worsen the burn by trapping heat.
C. It will increase pain and cause immediate scarring.
D. It may lead to infection by creating a wet environment.
3. Where would you expect to find the information above
A. A financial newsletter. B. A beauty and skincare guide.
C. A home improvement magazine. D. A first- aid book.
B
On a quiet afternoon, as the sunlight shone through the curtains and cast a warm glow on the attic (阁楼) floor, I started a journey through time. It was there, in the corner behind the old suitcase, that I made a fascinating discovery—a shoebox filled with old letters.
These letters, tied together with a faded ribbon, were a collection of conversations between my grandmother and her friends from past time. The dusty smell of aged paper and ink filled the air, transporting me to a time when communication was a deliberate and heartfelt act.
In an age where a simple text or email can convey our thoughts, these letters served as a deeply touching reminder of the depth and meaning that can be found in the written word. They were more than just messages; they were pieces of a life, snapshots of a time, and most importantly, they were a bridge between the past and the present, between my grandmother's generation and my own.
With the letters safely back in their resting place, I made a quiet promise to myself— to pick up pen and paper more often, to write not just messages, but little pieces of history that future generations might one day cherish.
In a world racing towards the future, it's the old letters that remind us to slow down, to appreciate the moment, and to write our own stories with care. And perhaps, one day, someone will find my letters and experience the same joy of discovery, the same sense of connection across the years. For now, the attic holds not just boxes of old letters but also the promise of stories yet to be told.
4. What does the author consider the letters to be
A. Simple messages from the past. B. Bridges between different generations.
C. Outdated communication methods. D. Unimportant things of past time.
5. What personal resolution does the author make after reflecting on the letters
A. To clean the attic of unnecessary items.
B. To digitize all family letters for preservation.
C. To learn more about the history of the family.
D. To write more frequently to maintain connections.
6. Which sentence may the author agree according to the passage
A. Every family has a story to tell.
B. The pen is stronger than the sword.
C. Old letters carry voices from the past.
D. The hand that writes the history makes the history.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Treasure in Letters. B. A Journey Through the Attic.
C. Digital Distraction. D. The Power of Pen and Ink.
C
Research into whether the human voice helps plants isn't conclusive. Even so, there are convincing reasons that chatting up your potted friends is good for them—and you.
Plants don't interrupt when you' re speaking. They don't argue or ask difficult questions. And regardless of whether they're actually listening, research has shown them to be a calming presence. It's no wonder, then, that so many of us talk to ours.
In a 2022 survey by . 50 percent of the 1, 250 respondents reported talking to their plants and trees. When asked why, 65 percent said they believe it helps them grow. The research. however, isn't definitive about this point. While studies have found that vibrations (震动) caused by sound do affect plants, the jury's still out on whether the human voice offers any specific benefit.
A study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of classical music and the sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber. The conclusion Both forms of sound exposure increased the vegetables' growth.
“Plants definitely respond to vibrations in their environment — which can cause plants to grow differently and become more resistant to falling over, " says Heidi Appel. a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Toledo in Ohio. “Those vibrations can come from airborne (空气传播的) sounds or insects moving on the plants themselves. And plants will respond differently to tones and music than to silence. "
Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least one potential benefit. “If we identify with a living organism that we' re tasked with taking care of, we' re going to take better car c of it, " Appel says. For example, if talking to your plants helps you feel more connected to them, you might water, dust and prune (修剪) them more regularly and take other measures to care for them and help them thrive.
8. What does “the jury's still out” imply about the effect of the human voice on plants in the paragraph 3
A. The result is still up in the air. B. The fact will be proven.
C. General agreement has been reached. D. The possibility is ruled out.
9. What does Heidi Appel suggest about the relationship between plants and humans
A. Plants prefer music over other sounds.
B. Sound has little effect on plant growth.
C. Feeling connected to plants can lead to better care.
D. Plants can communicate with humans through sound.
10. What is the author's attitude to the benefits of talking to plants
A. Indifferent and unconvinced. B. Objective with a positive outlook.
C. Critical and dismissive. D. Highly enthusiastic and supportive.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The best ways to care for plants. B. The history of plant research.
C. How talking to plants can affect them. D. The advantages of indoor gardening.
D
Why does one plus one equal two One possible answer is “It just does!” Math can seem like a world of rules you just have to follow, which makes it seem rigid and boring. Whereas my love of math is somewhat driven by my love of breaking rules, or at least pushing against them.
Sometimes, one plus one can equal more than two. If you and your friend both have enough cash to buy one cup of coffee, then together you still might have enough to buy three. If one pair of tennis players gets together with another pair for an afternoon of tennis, there ends up being more than two pairs of tennis players because they could play in all sorts of different combinations.
Sometimes, one plus one is just one, like if you put a pile of sand on top of another pile of sand, then you just get on c pile of sand. Or, as an art student of mine pointed out, if you mix one color with on c color, you get one color.
Actually, Math isn't really about getting the right answer. It's about building good justifications. I often hear parents complaining if children can do something one way, why do they need to know all these other ways
Imagine we were designing a jungle gym for children. We'd want to test it in every possible way to make sure it's safe. We'd want to jump on it, swing from it, fall from it and try to pull it out of the ground, rather than simply trusting that we built it well. The solidity of math comes from not wanting to trust things, but wanting to jump and swing and know that our framework will hold up. One of the reasons the framework is so strong is preciscly because we question it so deeply.
I hope that we will start seeing mathematics as a place to pose questions and explore answers, rather than a place where the answers are fixed and we' re supposed to know them. And I hope we will place more emphasis on those who are curious, and who follow their curiosity on a journey that may be slow and without a clear destination, a quiet walk through the countryside rather than a race to the finish.
12. In what way does the author approach mathematical rules
A. Thinking outside the box. B. Following them strictly.
C. Finding them entertaining. D. Recognizing their importance.
13. In the context of tennis players, what does the author mean by “one plus one can be more than two”
A. Tennis players can teach each other new techniques.
B. More tennis equipment is needed for each additional player.
C. The enjoyment of tennis doubles when more players are involved.
D. Two pairs of tennis players can form multiple doubles combinations.
14. What is the purpose of mentioning the jungle gym in paragraph 5
A. To simplify the complexity of mathematical learning.
B. To illustrate the value of diverse mathematical approaches.
C. To demonstrate that math is only useful in practical applications.
D. To argue that a single method is sufficient for understanding math.
15. What does the author hope for the future of mathematics
A. It will become more rule- based. B. It will focus on getting the correct answer.
C. It will promote the joy of discovery. D. It will emphasize speed and efficiency.

But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed- the shelf that was now burnt by the house fire.
“I’m not sure what they were able to save.” Mom said. ” They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I will miss those pictures. “ Jet could tell she was really sad. ”I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together. Mom said before she hugged him good- bye and drove off.
Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He carried his backpack through the halls as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. At break time, he and his friends pretended they were playing carnival games and winning prizes.
RRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class.
Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished. Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that bad been damaged by the fire. Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store.

On a quiet afternoon, as the sunlight shone through the curtains and cast a warm glow on the attic (阁楼) floor, I started a journey through time. It was there, in the corner behind the old suitcase, that I made a fascinating discovery—a shoebox filled with old letters.
These letters, tied together with a faded ribbon, were a collection of conversations between my grandmother and her friends from past time. The dusty smell of aged paper and ink filled the air, transporting me to a time when communication was a deliberate and heartfelt act.
In an age where a simple text or email can convey our thoughts, these letters served as a deeply touching reminder of the depth and meaning that can be found in the written word. They were more than just messages; they were pieces of a life, snapshots of a time, and most importantly, they were a bridge between the past and the present, between my grandmother's generation and my own.
With the letters safely back in their resting place, I made a quiet promise to myself— to pick up pen and paper more often, to write not just messages, but little pieces of history that future generations might one day cherish.
In a world racing towards the future, it's the old letters that remind us to slow down, to appreciate the moment, and to write our own stories with care. And perhaps, one day, someone will find my letters and experience the same joy of discovery, the same sense of connection across the years. For now, the attic holds not just boxes of old letters but also the promise of stories yet to be told.
4. What does the author consider the letters to be
A. Simple messages from the past. B. Bridges between different generations.
C. Outdated communication methods. D. Unimportant things of past time.
5. What personal resolution does the author make after reflecting on the letters
A. To clean the attic of unnecessary items.
B. To digitize all family letters for preservation.
C. To learn more about the history of the family.
D. To write more frequently to maintain connections.
6. Which sentence may the author agree according to the passage
A. Every family has a story to tell.
B. The pen is stronger than the sword.
C. Old letters carry voices from the past.
D. The hand that writes the history makes the history.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text

Research into whether the human voice helps plants isn't conclusive. Even so, there are convincing reasons that chatting up your potted friends is good for them—and you.
Plants don't interrupt when you' re speaking. They don't argue or ask difficult questions. And regardless of whether they're actually listening, research has shown them to be a calming presence. It's no wonder, then, that so many of us talk to ours.
In a 2022 survey by . 50 percent of the 1, 250 respondents reported talking to their plants and trees. When asked why, 65 percent said they believe it helps them grow. The research. however, isn't definitive about this point. While studies have found that vibrations (震动) caused by sound do affect plants, the jury's still out on whether the human voice offers any specific benefit.
A study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of classical music and the sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber. The conclusion Both forms of sound exposure increased the vegetables' growth.
“Plants definitely respond to vibrations in their environment — which can cause plants to grow differently and become more resistant to falling over, " says Heidi Appel. a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Toledo in Ohio. “Those vibrations can come from airborne (空气传播的) sounds or insects moving on the plants themselves. And plants will respond differently to tones and music than to silence. "
Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least one potential benefit. “If we identify with a living organism that we' re tasked with taking care of, we' re going to take better car c of it, " Appel says. For example, if talking to your plants helps you feel more connected to them, you might water, dust and prune (修剪) them more regularly and take other measures to care for them and help them thrive.
8. What does “the jury's still out” imply about the effect of the human voice on plants in the paragraph 3
A. The result is still up in the air. B. The fact will be proven.
C. General agreement has been reached. D. The possibility is ruled out.
9. What does Heidi Appel suggest about the relationship between plants and humans
A. Plants prefer music over other sounds.
B. Sound has little effect on plant growth.
C. Feeling connected to plants can lead to better care.
D. Plants can communicate with humans through sound.
10. What is the author's attitude to the benefits of talking to plants
A. Indifferent and unconvinced. B. Objective with a positive outlook.
C. Critical and dismissive. D. Highly enthusiastic and supportive.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The best ways to care for plants. B. The history of plant research.
C. How talking to plants can affect them. D. The advantages of indoor gardening.

Why does one plus one equal two One possible answer is “It just does!” Math can seem like a world of rules you just have to follow, which makes it seem rigid and boring. Whereas my love of math is somewhat driven by my love of breaking rules, or at least pushing against them.
Sometimes, one plus one can equal more than two. If you and your friend both have enough cash to buy one cup of coffee, then together you still might have enough to buy three. If one pair of tennis players gets together with another pair for an afternoon of tennis, there ends up being more than two pairs of tennis players because they could play in all sorts of different combinations.
Sometimes, one plus one is just one, like if you put a pile of sand on top of another pile of sand, then you just get on c pile of sand. Or, as an art student of mine pointed out, if you mix one color with on c color, you get one color.
Actually, Math isn't really about getting the right answer. It's about building good justifications. I often hear parents complaining if children can do something one way, why do they need to know all these other ways
Imagine we were designing a jungle gym for children. We'd want to test it in every possible way to make sure it's safe. We'd want to jump on it, swing from it, fall from it and try to pull it out of the ground, rather than simply trusting that we built it well. The solidity of math comes from not wanting to trust things, but wanting to jump and swing and know that our framework will hold up. One of the reasons the framework is so strong is preciscly because we question it so deeply.
I hope that we will start seeing mathematics as a place to pose questions and explore answers, rather than a place where the answers are fixed and we' re supposed to know them. And I hope we will place more emphasis on those who are curious, and who follow their curiosity on a journey that may be slow and without a clear destination, a quiet walk through the countryside rather than a race to the finish.
12. In what way does the author approach mathematical rules
A. Thinking outside the box. B. Following them strictly.
C. Finding them entertaining. D. Recognizing their importance.
13. In the context of tennis players, what does the author mean by “one plus one can be more than two”
A. Tennis players can teach each other new techniques.
B. More tennis equipment is needed for each additional player.
C. The enjoyment of tennis doubles when more players are involved.
D. Two pairs of tennis players can form multiple doubles combinations.
14. What is the purpose of mentioning the jungle gym in paragraph 5
A. To simplify the complexity of mathematical learning.
B. To illustrate the value of diverse mathematical approaches.
C. To demonstrate that math is only useful in practical applications.
D. To argue that a single method is sufficient for understanding math.
15. What does the author hope for the future of mathematics
A. It will become more rule- based. B. It will focus on getting the correct answer.
C. It will promote the joy of discovery. D. It will emphasize speed and efficiency.

Bringing Back Memories
“The cleaners said I could pick up our stuff today.” Jet’s mom said on the drive to school.
“Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog ” Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried.
But he was worried. Big Dog was his favorite toy. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed- the shelf that was now burnt by the house fire.
“I’m not sure what they were able to save.” Mom said. ” They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I will miss those pictures. “ Jet could tell she was really sad. ”I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together. Mom said before she hugged him good- bye and drove off.
Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He carried his backpack through the halls as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. At break time, he and his friends pretended they were playing carnival games and winning prizes.
RRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class.
Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished. Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that bad been damaged by the fire. Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He knew what he could draw. Jet picked up his crayons and started drawing memories from his mind. He drew a picture of the family sitting around a campfire, their happy faces glowing in the light. Next, he drew himself with Grandpa at the fair, holding the Big Dog that Grandpa had won for him. Picture by picture, Jet filled the paper with moments that his mom cherished the most. He was determined to give those special memories a new life through his drawings.
When Jet’s mom picked him up from school, Big Dog was in the back seat. Jet’s eyes widened with joy, and he hugged Big Dog tightly. “You won’t believe it! The cleaners managed to save him!” Mom exclaimed, smiling with relief. Handing his mom the drawings, Jet said, “I made something for you too.” As she flipped through the pages, tears welled up in her eyes. “These are beautiful, Jet,” she whispered, hugging him. “You’ve brought back all our memories.” Together, they headed home, cherishing the moments they could recreate.

A
The skin is an essential part of your body and is its largest organ. As you can imagine, getting burnt can lead to very serious injuries. The first and most important step in the treatment of burns is giving first aid.
CAUSES OF BURNS
You can get burnt by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation, the sun, electricity, acids, or other chemicals.
TYPES OF BURNS
Burns are divided into three types, depending on the depth of skin damage.
● First- degree burns These affect only the top few millimetres of the skin. These burns are not serious. Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by other minor household incidents.
● Second- degree burns These go below the top layer of the skin. They are serious and take a few weeks to get better. Examples include burns caused by hot liquids.
● Third- degree burns These affect every layer of the skin, and sometimes the tissue under it. Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or petrol fires. These burns cause very severe internal injuries and the victim must go to the hospital at once.
FIRST-AID TREATMENT
1. Place burns under cool running water, especially within the first ten minutes. The cool water stops the burning process and reduces the pain and swelling.
2. Dry the burnt area gently with a clean cloth.
3. Remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric sticking to the burnt skin.
4. Cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth. Applying oil to the injured areas is a bad idea, as it will keep the heat in the wounds and may cause infection.
5. If burns are on the face, make sure the victim can still breathe.
6. If the victim is suffering from second or third- degree burns, there is an urgent need to take him/ her to the hospital at once.
1. What is an example of a first- degree burn mentioned in the text
A. A slight kitchen burn. B. A burn from very hot water.
C. A severe burn from a petrol fire. D. A deep tissue damage from steam.
2. Why shouldn't oil be applied to burn
A. It is a poor conductor of heat.
B It can worsen the burn by trapping heat.
C. It will increase pain and cause immediate scarring.
D. It may lead to infection by creating a wet environment.
3. Where would you expect to find the information above
A. A financial newsletter. B. A beauty and skincare guide.
C. A home improvement magazine. D. A first- aid book.
B

C. How talking to plants can affect them. D. The advantages of indoor gardening.
D
Why does one plus one equal two One possible answer is “It just does!” Math can seem like a world of rules you just have to follow, which makes it seem rigid and boring. Whereas my love of math is somewhat driven by my love of breaking rules, or at least pushing against them.
Sometimes, one plus one can equal more than two. If you and your friend both have enough cash to buy one cup of coffee, then together you still might have enough to buy three. If one pair of tennis players gets together with another pair for an afternoon of tennis, there ends up being more than two pairs of tennis players because they could play in all sorts of different combinations.
Sometimes, one plus one is just one, like if you put a pile of sand on top of another pile of sand, then you just get on c pile of sand. Or, as an art student of mine pointed out, if you mix one color with on c color, you get one color.
Actually, Math isn't really about getting the right answer. It's about building good justifications. I often hear parents complaining if children can do something one way, why do they need to know all these other ways
Imagine we were designing a jungle gym for children. We'd want to test it in every possible way to make sure it's safe. We'd want to jump on it, swing from it, fall from it and try to pull it out of the ground, rather than simply trusting that we built it well. The solidity of math comes from not wanting to trust things, but wanting to jump and swing and know that our framework will hold up. One of the reasons the framework is so strong is preciscly because we question it so deeply.
I hope that we will start seeing mathematics as a place to pose questions and explore answers, rather than a place where the answers are fixed and we' re supposed to know them. And I hope we will place more emphasis on those who are curious, and who follow their curiosity on a journey that may be slow and without a clear destination, a quiet walk through the countryside rather than a race to the finish.

“The cleaners said I could pick up our stuff today.” Jet’s mom said on the drive to school.
“Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog ” Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried.
But he was worried. Big Dog was his favorite toy. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed- the shelf that was now burnt by the house fire.
“I’m not sure what they were able to save.” Mom said. ” They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I will miss those pictures. “ Jet could tell she was really sad. ”I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together. Mom said before she hugged him good- bye and drove off.
Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He carried his backpack through the halls as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. At break time, he and his friends pretended they were playing carnival games and winning prizes.
RRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class.
Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished. Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that bad been damaged by the fire. Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever.

A
The skin is an essential part of your body and is its largest organ. As you can imagine, getting burnt can lead to very serious injuries. The first and most important step in the treatment of burns is giving first aid.
CAUSES OF BURNS
You can get burnt by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation, the sun, electricity, acids, or other chemicals.
TYPES OF BURNS
Burns are divided into three types, depending on the depth of skin damage.
● First- degree burns These affect only the top few millimetres of the skin. These burns are not serious. Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by other minor household incidents.
● Second- degree burns These go below the top layer of the skin. They are serious and take a few weeks to get better. Examples include burns caused by hot liquids.
● Third- degree burns These affect every layer of the skin, and sometimes the tissue under it. Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or petrol fires. These burns cause very severe internal injuries and the victim must go to the hospital at once.
FIRST-AID TREATMENT
1. Place burns under cool running water, especially within the first ten minutes. The cool water stops the burning process and reduces the pain and swelling.
2. Dry the burnt area gently with a clean cloth.
3. Remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric sticking to the burnt skin.
4. Cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth. Applying oil to the injured areas is a bad idea, as it will keep the heat in the wounds and may cause infection.
5. If burns are on the face, make sure the victim can still breathe.
6. If the victim is suffering from second or third- degree burns, there is an urgent need to take him/ her to the hospital at once.
1. What is an example of a first- degree burn mentioned in the text
A. A slight kitchen burn. B. A burn from very hot water.
C. A severe burn from a petrol fire. D. A deep tissue damage from steam.
2. Why shouldn't oil be applied to burn
A. It is a poor conductor of heat.
B. It can worsen the burn by trapping heat.
C. It will increase pain and cause immediate scarring.
D. It may lead to infection by creating a wet environment.
3. Where would you expect to find the information above
A. A financial newsletter. B. A beauty and skincare guide.
C. A home improvement magazine. D. A first- aid book.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
B
On a quiet afternoon, as the sunlight shone through the curtains and cast a warm glow on the attic (阁楼) floor, I started a journey through time. It was there, in the corner behind the old suitcase, that I made a fascinating discovery—a shoebox filled with old letters.
These letters, tied together with a faded ribbon, were a collection of conversations between my grandmother and her friends from past time. The dusty smell of aged paper and ink filled the air, transporting me to a time when communication was a deliberate and heartfelt act.
In an age where a simple text or email can convey our thoughts, these letters served as a deeply touching reminder of the depth and meaning that can be found in the written word. They were more than just messages; they were pieces of a life, snapshots of a time, and most importantly, they were a bridge between the past and the present, between my grandmother's generation and my own.
With the letters safely back in their resting place, I made a quiet promise to myself— to pick up pen and paper more often, to write not just messages, but little pieces of history that future generations might one day cherish.
In a world racing towards the future, it's the old letters that remind us to slow down, to appreciate the moment, and to write our own stories with care. And perhaps, one day, someone will find my letters and experience the same joy of discovery, the same sense of connection across the years. For now, the attic holds not just boxes of old letters but also the promise of stories yet to be told.
4. What does the author consider the letters to be
A. Simple messages from the past. B. Bridges between different generations.
C. Outdated communication methods. D. Unimportant things of past time.
5. What personal resolution does the author make after reflecting on the letters
A. To clean the attic of unnecessary items.
B. To digitize all family letters for preservation.
C. To learn more about the history of the family.
D. To write more frequently to maintain connections.
6. Which sentence may the author agree according to the passage
A. Every family has a story to tell.
B. The pen is stronger than the sword.
C. Old letters carry voices from the past.
D. The hand that writes the history makes the history.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Treasure in Letters. B. A Journey Through the Attic.
C. Digital Distraction. D. The Power of Pen and Ink.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
C
Research into whether the human voice helps plants isn't conclusive. Even so, there are convincing reasons that chatting up your potted friends is good for them—and you.
Plants don't interrupt when you' re speaking. They don't argue or ask difficult questions. And regardless of whether they're actually listening, research has shown them to be a calming presence. It's no wonder, then, that so many of us talk to ours.
In a 2022 survey by . 50 percent of the 1, 250 respondents reported talking to their plants and trees. When asked why, 65 percent said they believe it helps them grow. The research. however, isn't definitive about this point. While studies have found that vibrations (震动) caused by sound do affect plants, the jury's still out on whether the human voice offers any specific benefit.
A study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of classical music and the sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber. The conclusion Both forms of sound exposure increased the vegetables' growth.
“Plants definitely respond to vibrations in their environment — which can cause plants to grow differently and become more resistant to falling over, " says Heidi Appel. a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Toledo in Ohio. “Those vibrations can come from airborne (空气传播的) sounds or insects moving on the plants themselves. And plants will respond differently to tones and music than to silence. "
Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least one potential benefit. “If we identify with a living organism that we' re tasked with taking care of, we' re going to take better car c of it, " Appel says. For example, if talking to your plants helps you feel more connected to them, you might water, dust and prune (修剪) them more regularly and take other measures to care for them and help them thrive.
8. What does “the jury's still out” imply about the effect of the human voice on plants in the paragraph 3
A. The result is still up in the air. B. The fact will be proven.
C. General agreement has been reached. D. The possibility is ruled out.
9. What does Heidi Appel suggest about the relationship between plants and humans
A. Plants prefer music over other sounds.
B. Sound has little effect on plant growth.
C. Feeling connected to plants can lead to better care.
D. Plants can communicate with humans through sound.
10. What is the author's attitude to the benefits of talking to plants
A. Indifferent and unconvinced. B. Objective with a positive outlook.
C. Critical and dismissive. D. Highly enthusiastic and supportive.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The best ways to care for plants. B. The history of plant research.
C. How talking to plants can affect them. D. The advantages of indoor gardening.

Bringing Back Memories
“The cleaners said I could pick up our stuff today.” Jet’s mom said on the drive to school.
“Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog ” Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried.
But he was worried. Big Dog was his favorite toy. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed- the shelf that was now burnt by the house fire.
“I’m not sure what they were able to save.” Mom said. ” They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I will miss those pictures. “ Jet could tell she was really sad. ”I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together. Mom said before she hugged him good- bye and drove off.
Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He carried his backpack through the halls as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. At break time, he and his friends pretended they were playing carnival games and winning prizes.
RRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class.
Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished. Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that bad been damaged by the fire. Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever.

【答案】He knew what he could draw. Jet picked up his crayons and started drawing memories from his mind. He drew a picture of the family sitting around a campfire, their happy faces glowing in the light. Next, he drew himself with Grandpa at the fair, holding the Big Dog that Grandpa had won for him. Picture by picture, Jet filled the paper with moments that his mom cherished the most. He was determined to give those special memories a new life through his drawings.
When Jet’s mom picked him up from school, Big Dog was in the back seat. Jet’s eyes widened with joy, and he hugged Big Dog tightly. “You won’t believe it! The cleaners managed to save him!” Mom exclaimed, smiling with relief. Handing his mom the drawings, Jet said, “I made something for you too.” As she flipped through the pages, tears welled up in her eyes. “These are beautiful, Jet,” she whispered, hugging him. “You’ve brought back all our memories.” Together, they headed home, cherishing the moments they could recreate.
