13.(8分) According to a new research this year,kids who volunteer aren't just helping their community.They might also be helping themselves.It is said that doing volunteer work through school or community groups will do good to the health of kids.
What the survey(调查) shows
Experts did a survey among the parents of about 50,000 kids aged 6 to 17 in the United States and found that kids who took part in community service were 34% more likely (可能) to be in very good physical health than those who didn't.And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be doing well in general.Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety(焦虑) than those who didn't.
What the result suggests
The result may have something useful to do with youth mental(精神的) health.In recent years,depression(抑郁) and anxiety are becoming more and more common among young people.For example,more than 40% of high school students were reported experiencing feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2023.One possible way to solve this may be doing volunteer work in the community.
Why volunteering works
Other researches have also found the connections between volunteering and well﹣being among kids.Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose.In this way,they feel connected to those around them,and it makes them happier and healthier.However,experts also point out that it's not possible to say for sure that volunteering makes better mental and physical health.It could be that when kids take part in volunteering work,they get out of themselves and relax for a while,which has some active influence on both the mental and physical health.
(1)What do we know about the new survey?
A.Experts did the survey in the United Kingdom.
B.Volunteering is sure to make kids healthy.
C.Kids aged 12 and older do not have anxiety.
D.Experts did the survey among lots of parents.
(2)The underlined word "connections" in the last paragraph means .
A.关联
B.矛盾
C.制约
D.变化
(3)What's the purpose(目的) of the passage?
A.To tell young people to study harder.
B.To advise kids to do volunteering work.
C.To explain why kids experience anxiety.
D.To show how to volunteer at school.
(4)Where can we probably find this passage?
A.www./stories
B.www.dictionary.com/volunteer
C.www./research
D.www./blog
三、任务型阅读 请从以下选项中选出符合语篇内容的句子(有一个多余选项) 。
14.(10分)
A.Learn something new B.Try not to be influenced by aging C.In other words,when you take care of your body,you take care of your brain. D.But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life﹣changing events. E.Luckily,research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid(避免) those moments.
Everyone is forgetful,but as we age,we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit and that can be a very troubling thing.(1)
Focus on the future
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50% reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease(阿尔茨海默病),according to a recent study.(2) Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short﹣term goals appear to do better.In other words,keep your brain looking forward.
Go for a walk
Raised glucose(葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories.However,physical activities can help get blood glucose down to normal levels.In fact,exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.(3)
(4)
Take a Spanish class online,join a drawing club,or learn to play cards.A study found that mental stimulation(刺激) influences the bad effects of aging on memory.So the best thing for your brain is to try something different such as gardening or going dancing with your friends.
(5)How do you improve your memory(记忆) ?(less than 20 words)

(2)词义猜测题。根据后文 "It all came down to a shoot ﹣ out(点球决胜)" (比赛进入了点球决胜阶段。)说明常规时间比赛打成了平局,所以 "tie" 意思是 "平局",故选C。
(3)文章结构题。第一段总述学校八年级举办了一场精彩的手球比赛;第二段和第三段详细描述了比赛过程,包括前几场比赛情况以及决赛的具体经过;第四段总结这场比赛的意义。所以文章结构是①/②③/④,故选A。

13.(8分) According to a new research this year,kids who volunteer aren't just helping their community.They might also be helping themselves.It is said that doing volunteer work through school or community groups will do good to the health of kids.
What the survey(调查) shows
Experts did a survey among the parents of about 50,000 kids aged 6 to 17 in the United States and found that kids who took part in community service were 34% more likely (可能) to be in very good physical health than those who didn't.And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be doing well in general.Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety(焦虑) than those who didn't.
What the result suggests
The result may have something useful to do with youth mental(精神的) health.In recent years,depression(抑郁) and anxiety are becoming more and more common among young people.For example,more than 40% of high school students were reported experiencing feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2023.One possible way to solve this may be doing volunteer work in the community.
Why volunteering works
Other researches have also found the connections between volunteering and well﹣being among kids.Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose.In this way,they feel connected to those around them,and it makes them happier and healthier.However,experts also point out that it's not possible to say for sure that volunteering makes better mental and physical health.It could be that when kids take part in volunteering work,they get out of themselves and relax for a while,which has some active influence on both the mental and physical health.
(1)What do we know about the new survey? D
A.Experts did the survey in the United Kingdom.
B.Volunteering is sure to make kids healthy.
C.Kids aged 12 and older do not have anxiety.
D.Experts did the survey among lots of parents.
(2)The underlined word "connections" in the last paragraph means A .
A.关联
B.矛盾
C.制约
D.变化
(3)What's the purpose(目的) of the passage? B
A.To tell young people to study harder.
B.To advise kids to do volunteering work.
C.To explain why kids experience anxiety.
D.To show how to volunteer at school.
(4)Where can we probably find this passage? C
A.www./stories
B.www.dictionary.com/volunteer
C.www./research
D.www./blog
【分析】本文主要介绍了一项新研究,发现参与志愿服务的孩子不仅帮助了社区,也可能对自身的健康有益。调查显示,参与社区服务的儿童在身体健康和总体幸福感方面表现更佳,且12岁及以上的志愿者焦虑程度较低。研究结果暗示,志愿服务可能有助于青少年心理健康,因为近年来抑郁和焦虑在年轻人中越来越普遍。其他研究也发现了志愿服务与孩子幸福感之间的联系,认为服务社区能带来目标感和归属感,从而提升幸福感和健康水平。然而,专家也指出,目前尚不能确定志愿服务直接导致更好的心理和身体健康,可能是因为参与志愿活动让孩子有机会放松身心,从而对身心健康产生积极影响。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第三段Experts did a survey among the parents of about 50,000 kids aged 6 to 17 in the United States and found that kids who took part in community service were 34% more likely (可能) to be in very good physical health than those who didn't.(专家对美国约5万名6至17岁儿童的父母进行了一项调查,发现参加社区服务的孩子比没有参加的孩子身体健康的可能性高34%。)可知专家在许多父母中做了调查。故选D。
(2)词义猜测题。根据最后一段Other researches have also found the connections between volunteering and well﹣being among kids.(其他研究也发现了志愿服务和儿童幸福之间的.....。服务社区似乎有助于人们感受到目标感。)联系前后句可猜测出下划线单词connections的意思应为:联系,故选A。
(3)主旨大意题。根据最后一段Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose.In this way,they feel connected to those around them,and it makes them happier and healthier.(为社区服务似乎能帮助人们感受到使命感。通过这种方式,他们感到与周围的人有联系,这让他们更快乐、更健康。)可知这篇文章的目的是:建议孩子们去做志愿者工作。故选B。
(4)推理判断题。根据第一段According to a new research this year,kids who volunteer aren't just helping their community.They might also be helping themselves.(根据今年的一项新研究,志愿者不仅仅是在帮助他们的社区。他们也可能在帮助自己。)可推断出我们可能在"健康网站/研究"读到这篇文章,故选C。

(2)考查代词。句意:我问我妈妈我应该买什么。根据I asked my mother(我问我妈妈)和I should buy(我应该买)可知,此句是宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语。再根据下文Mom suggested Chinese fans(妈妈建议中国的扇子)可知,此处应该表示作者问妈妈应该买什么。what(什么)符合语境。故填what。
(3)考查介词。句意:妈妈建议中国的扇子,因为中国以"扇子王国"而闻名。根据the Fan Kingdom(扇子王国)可知,此处应该表示中国以"扇子王国"而闻名。be famous for是固定短语,意为"因……而著名"。故填for。

(6)考查形容词的最高级。句意:这是诸葛孔明的象征,他是中国古代最聪明的人之一。one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 名词复数.意为"最……之一",smart(聪明的)的最高级是smartest(最聪明的)。故填the smartest。
(7)考查名词。句意:这种扇子是用画有鸟或花的丝绸制成的。根据Fans of this kind were made (这种扇子被制成)可知,此处应该表示这种扇子是用画有鸟或花的丝绸制成的。with(和)后面接名词,painting表示"绘画",是可数名词,这里用复数paintings,表示有很多鸟或花的绘画。故填paintings。
(8)考查连词。句意:它们如此漂亮,以至于很受各个年龄段女性的欢迎。根据They were so beautiful(它们如此漂亮) they were very popular with women of all ages(它们很受各个年龄段女性的欢迎)可知,此处应该表示它们如此漂亮,以至于很受各个年龄段女性的欢迎。so...that...是固定句型,意为"如此……以至于……"。故填that。
(9)考查动词不定式。句意:为了给男孩子们买到合适的扇子,我看过了所有的扇子,挑了一把上面有书法的折扇。根据I looked through all the fans and picked the folding fans with calligraphy on them(我看过了所有的扇子,挑了一把上面有书法的折扇)可知,此处应该表示为了给男孩子们买到合适的扇子,作者看过了所有的扇子,挑了一把上面有书法的折扇。所以此处是目的状语,动词不定式可以表目的。句首字母大写。故填To get。
(10)考查形容词。句意:在意大利的欢迎会上,我的新老师和同学们都很惊讶,也很高兴得到了精彩的粉丝。根据my new teachers and classmates were all(我的新老师和同学都是)和and happy(也很高兴)可知,此处应该表示作者的新老师和同学们都很惊讶,也很高兴。这里表示人的感受,surprised(感到惊讶的)符合语境。故填surprised。
