【原文】W: Oh, no… Did you get caught in the rain
M: Yeah. It just came out of nowhere! One minute we had bright sunshine, and now it’s pouring down!

6．C 7．B
【原文】W: I checked the information board. Our take-off time has been pushed back by another 20 minutes.
M: This is annoying!
W: I know. They said it’s due to the weather.
M: I was planning to wait until we boarded to eat, but I don’t think I can now. I’m so hungry!

10．C 11．A 12．A
【原文】M: Hi Sylvia. Wow, the new place looks great!

M: It’s really lovely.
W: Come in, and I’ll make some tea. I’m looking forward to hearing about your trip!
M: Oh, it was great. I took about a million photos!
W: I bet! Look, I’ve put the postcard you sent me on the fridge.
M: Oh, great! I’m glad it arrived. I couldn’t decide between this one and a picture of a crazy 1950s TV. But, in the end, I went for the coffee can.
W: It’s great! Where on earth did you find it
M: I came across a small museum while exploring Berlin. The name translates to, “The Museum of Things”, and it’s basically a celebration of everyday objects and design.

【原文】M: What’s wrong
W: Oh, it’s just this news story I’m reading.
M: What’s it about
W: It’s about an animal shelter in Kraków. A few weeks ago, the weather forecasts for that part of Poland were predicting temperatures of around -20 °C.
M: That’s cold…
W: True. But the shelter didn’t have enough indoor space. Many dogs were being kept outside, and there’s no way they would have survived.
M: So, what did the shelter do
W: They called for local people to take the dogs in, just until the weather warmed up again. And they received amazing responses. All 123 dogs found homes for the time being.
M: Wow, that’s great!
W: Even the police, who came to issue parking tickets to cars around the shelter, ended up taking a dog back to the station!
M: No way!
W: Better yet, after the weather warmed up, only 30 dogs were returned to the shelter. Most people decided to keep them.
M: Well, I’d call that a happy ending. So…why are you crying
W: I don’t know! It’s just so lovely when people all pull together to help those in need.

【原文】 W: Look at the first picture. It’s the London Tea Trade Centre. As you can see, it is on the north bank of the river Thames. It is the center of an important industry in the everyday lives of the British people. Tea is the British national drink: every man, woman, and child over ten years of age has on average over four cups a day or some 1,500 cups annually. Now, in the second picture you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Center before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea tasters before they’re sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work. Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on long tables. The tasters generally taste teas with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea.

39．根据上文的“No matter where you live, there are many ways you can help conserve water. Today, we have many helpful tools to help us save water.

Only run your clothes washer and dishwasher when they are full. This can save hundreds of gallons of water a year.(用淋浴代替泡澡。修理漏水的水龙头也很重要。如果你找到了，告诉你的父母。让冷水随时可用的一个好方法是在冰箱里放一个水罐。这样你就不用等水管里的水给你带来更冷的水喝了。洗衣机和洗碗机满了的时候再开动。这样每年可以节省数百加仑的水。 )”可知，C项(刷牙的时候不要让水开着。)承接上文，举例说明了一种节约用水的方法，下文继续举例说明节约用水的方法。故选C项。

高 分 作 文
高分范文一：
The Chinese proverb "Laughter makes you ten years younger" resonates with me deeply.
Laughter truly has the power to lift our spirits and make us feel more youthful. I remember a time when I was feeling stressed about an exam. My friend told a funny joke, and we both burst into laughter. Instantly, my stress melted away, and I felt relaxed and rejuvenated.
This experience taught me that laughter is the best medicine for relieving stress and making life more enjoyable.
高分范文二：
Xunzi's saying "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand" embodies the importance of practical experience.
I learned this lesson firsthand when I tried cooking a new dish. I watched a video tutorial and forgot the steps soon after. Later, I watched my mom cook the same dish, and I remembered more clearly. But it wasn't until I actually cooked it myself that I truly understood the process and mastered the recipe.
This experience showed me that doing is indeed the best way to understand and learn.
荀子的名言“闻之而不见，虽博必谬；见之而不用，虽敦必困；用之而不行，虽诎必达”体现了实践经验的重要性。
当我尝试做一道新菜时，我亲身体验到了这个道理。我先看了一个视频教程，但很快就忘记了步骤。后来，我看着我妈妈做同样的菜，我记得更清楚了。但是，直到我亲自下厨，我才真正理解了整个过程，并掌握了这道菜的做法。
这次经历告诉我，实践确实是理解和学习的最佳途径。

Here are some of London’s best parks for you to explore.
St. James’s Park
At 23 hectares (公顷), St. James’s is the second-smallest of the eight Royal Parks after The Green Park. But what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty, with brightly-colored flower beds, a lovely lake and a fountain. It is famous for its pelicans (鹈鹕), which were introduced to the park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles Ⅱ.
Hyde Park
From hunting to ice-skating, central London’s largest green space really has seen it all. Today Hyde Park is a center of activity throughout the year. If you’re with kids, visit the nearby Princess Diana Playground, where unaccompanied adults are turned away at the gate. The summer season means festivals, with a large section of the park used for open-air concerts.
Regent’s Park
As one of the largest park of central London, Regen’s Park is also one of the loveliest green spaces. Among its many attractions are London Zoo, Regent's Canal, a boating lake, and sports pitches. Performances take place here in an open-air theater during summer. To the north of Regent’s Park is Primrose Hill, a lovely spot for a relaxing walk or picnic, offering extraordinary views over the city skyline.
Hampstead Heath
With its rolling woodlands, grasslands and abundant wildlife, Hampstead Heath feels far away from the city. Swimmers head to the three bathing ponds, two of which are open year round. Hampstead Heath is home to a variety of butterflies and bird species. This is a wonderful place for a walk, especially to the top of Parliament Hill, which offers expansive views across London.

C．The Green Park. D．Hyde Park.

Most of us take the task of buying a cup of coffee for granted, as it seems simple enough. However, we have no idea just how stressful tasks like this can be for people who suffer from disabilities. That’s why it’s so heart-warming to see a story like this in which a barista (咖啡师) does something small to make life a little easier for someone who is deaf.
Ibby Piracha lost his hearing when he was only two years old, and he now goes to his local cafe in Leesburg, Virginia to order a cup of coffee at least three times a week. Though all the baristas who work there have his order memorized, Ibby always write his order on his phone and shows it to the barista.
One day, however, one of the baristas did something that changed everything! After Ibby ordered his coffee, he was amazed when barista Krystal pane handed him a note in response. “I’ve been learning sign language just so you can have the same experience as everyone else,” the note read. Krystal then asked Ibby in sign language what he would like to order.
Ibby was touched that she would learn sign language just to help him feel welcome. “I was just so moved that she actually wanted to learn sign language. It is really a totally different language and it was something that she wanted to do because of me. Because I was a deaf customer. I was very, very impressed,” Ibby said.
Krystal had spent hours watching teaching videos so that she could learn enough sign language to give Ibby the best customer service that she could! “My job is to make sure people have the experience they expect and that’s what I gave him,” Krystal says.
Ibby posted a photo of Krystal’s note online, and it quickly went viral, getting hundreds of likes and comments that praised Krystal for her kind action.

With the rise of technology, we’re experiencing an important change in our lives. But what exactly are the differences between a modern lifestyle and a traditional lifestyle
A traditional lifestyle is often defined by cultural and social standards passed down through generations. However, the modern lifestyle is characterized by a more personal approach, where personal freedom is often more important than traditional standards.
But the differences between the two go much deeper than just cultural standards. The way we live our daily lives has also changed greatly. Modern lifestyles are often characterized by technology-driven convenience. On the other hand, traditional lifestyles favor a more simple approach to daily living.
So what does it mean to live a modern lifestyle, and how does it differ from a traditional one The development of communication methods is a heated topic that gives us insights into the rich history of mankind. Letters were once the primary means of communicating across great distances, and they held a special place in people’s hearts, sharing news of loved ones. Writing a letter was so amazing as it required thoughtful consideration.
As time passed and technology advanced, communication methods changed, and today we live in an age controlled by instant messaging and social media. While these tools offer speed and convenience, they have damaged the depth of our relationships.
In our modern lifestyle, we’re connected in a real-time way, but sometimes we feel more disconnected than ever before. The instant messages can leave us feeling anxious, while the art of face-to-face conversation is in danger of being lost.
But it’s not all bad news. Technology has brought us closer in many ways, providing new forms of communication. Video calls, for example, have made it possible to meet with loved ones from anywhere in the world, creating a sense of community that was once impossible.
28．What does the underlined word “defined” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Doubted. B．Inspired. C．Shaped. D．Contacted.
29．What does the author think of letters
A．They have been out of date. B．They meant a lot to loved ones.
C．They make us disconnected. D．They changed the way we read.
30．What does the author want to say by mentioning instant messaging
A．It is a must to build a sense of community.
B．Advances in technology make the old suffer.
C．We should live up to parents’ expectations.
D．People are becoming cold and indifferent.
31．In which part of a magazine may you read this text
A．Lifestyle. B．Business. C．Health. D．Travel.
D
While rice and wheat are the two most commonly consumed cereal grains worldwide, a study covering more than 100,000 people in Northwest China has revealed that choosing rice as a main food may result in a lower risk of obesity.
Researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University collected data from participants aged 35 to 74 who are residents of five northwestern provincial-level regions. They divided the participants into three groups. The first group eats rice as their main food, consuming it either daily or four to six times per week, while consuming wheat less than four to six times per week. The second group’s main food is wheat, and the third group consumes both rice and wheat as their main food, with similar frequency.
Then the researchers compared results and found out that rice preference might be associated with a lower risk of certain obesity types in the population of Northwest China. Higher wheat intake was associated with higher risks of excessive body fat and central obesity (stomach fat) in men and central obesity in women, according to the study findings published in the journal Nutrients.
According to the researchers, previous animal studies shows that wheat gluten (谷蛋白) promoted weight gain by reducing heat production and energy consumption, while rice protein shows the potential for anti-obesity and triglyceride-lowering (降低甘油三酯) effects. Meanwhile, rice-based dietary patterns often have more fresh vegetables, meat and fish servings. People with wheat preference in Northwest China tend to eat large bowls of noodles with fewer vegetables or less meat, and sometimes even with a large amount of oil.
However, researchers noted that given the vast territory and diverse ethnic groups present in Northwest China, further studies might be necessary to fully understand the regional specificity and potential hidden reasons for the observed links.
32．What do you know about the study in Northwest China
A．People can eat rice to lose weight. B．Eating rice will help you live longer.
C．Rice is the perfect choice for people who are fat.
D．Eating rice may reduce people’s risk of being fat.
33．How did the researchers figure out the findings of the study
A．By offering examples. B．By referring to some data.
C．By making a comparison. D．By quoting an expert’s opinion.
34．What does the previous animal study show
A．Wheat gluten reduced weight gain by reducing heat and energy.
B．Rice protein has the potential to fight obesity and lower triglyceride.
C．People often eat noodles with more fresh vegetables, meat and fish servings.
D．People who prefer wheat in Northwest China tend to eat small bowls of noodles.
35．What will the researchers probably do next
A．They will carry out further studies. B．They will change their research methods.
C．They will promote rice as the main food.
D．They will figure out the number of ethnic groups in China.

All living things need clean, fresh water to survive. Ninety-seven percent of the water on earth is in the ocean. The salt in the ocean water makes it unusable for drinking. Another two percent is frozen in the ice caps and glaciers on the Earth. 36 There are many factors that affect the amount of water available for you. Where you live, the amount of rain that falls, and how water is collected and reserved all affect the amount of cool, clear water available.
One factor that we can’t change is where it will rain. The amount of rain an area receives affects the amount of water available for use. Some major cities are located in areas where they can get water from the ground. 37 Those places with no water readily available must pipe water in from far away.
According to a study done by the state of California, the average person uses over one hundred gallons of water per day. Water is used for drinking, taking a shower or bath, brushing teeth, washing hands, cleaning dishes, doing laundry, and flushing toilets. 38
No matter where you live, there are many ways you can help conserve water. Today, we have many helpful tools to help us save water. There are low-flow shower heads and faucets(水龙头), dishwashers and washing machines that use up to 50% less water. 39
There are many other ways you can help. 40 Take a shower rather than a bath. It’s also important to fix leaky faucets. If you find one, let your parents know. A good way to have cool water available all the time is to keep a pitcher in the fridge. This way you won’t have to wait for the water in the pipes to bring you colder water to drink. Only run your clothes washer and dishwasher when they are full. This can save hundreds of gallons of water a year.
All of these will help to conserve water. Leaning to use it wisely will ensure that it will always be available. So, make a fuss and conserve water. It’s worth it!
A．Using water wisely is important.
B．Water is an important natural resource.
C．Don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth.
D．Other areas use surface water from lakes, rivers, or streams.
E．This leaves one percent of the water on Earth available for us to use.
F．Installing these items in your home is the first line of defense against wasting water.
G．Wherever we live, we must be careful with the polluted water we have in our part of the world.
