二、阅读理解
Gharials are living along the river banks of India and eat fish. There was a time when they were plentiful but that was many years ago. The population changed from about 10,000 in 1946 to fewer than 250 in 2006, which led to gharials being put in the endangered part on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s red list.
Gharials were in such a condition due to increased fishing in their living areas — fish were caught in large numbers — gharials sometimes couldn’t find enough food. Gharials were hunted for their skins, for use in traditional medicine and so on. Many lost their living places.
Conservation efforts began in the 1970s when the Indian government started a program that built the National Chambal Sanctuary in 1978. The next year, some gharials were put into the Chambal River. Other rivers, including the Gandaki, were added. The Gandaki River is a good place for the gharials because it has sandbanks and wetlands.
Since 2016, nests have been found every year with help from local farmers and fishermen who then help to protect gharials. “Members of the community were trained by experts to watch and help gharials,” said Samir Kumar Sinha, head of conservation at the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI).
A 2018 survey by the WTI recorded more than 160 gharials in the Gandaki River. The organization also found 20 baby gharials. Now, the gharials are being found in other parts of India and in parts of Nepal. In fact, they are found in the Kosi River in India for the first time in 50 years. They are still endangered but now there is hope that the animals will begin to make a comeback.
6．What happened to gharials according to the first paragraph
A．Their number dropped a lot. B．They lived a much shorter life.
C．They changed their food choice. D．Their living environment was polluted.
7．What does the information in Paragraphs 3 and 4 suggest
A．Gharials lead a life of adventure.
B．Local people work together to protect gharials.
C．People have to take care of gharials because of orders.
D．Gharials were put into different rivers to attract visitors.
8．How is the result of the conservation efforts
A．It is uncertain. B．It is worrying. C．It is successful. D．It is unsatisfactory.
With artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology improving at impressive rates, there are some who worry that there’s a risk of artistic and creative people being replaced. A new study by the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology, however, is showing exactly why that can’t and shouldn’t happen. It all started when the South Korean company posed this question: Can robots replace conductors
Over a year ago, work to develop automaton (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1.8 meters. It was finally time to figure out how it could follow through on its musical role.
“We got involved in this project to see how far robots can go in more creative fields like the arts, and what the challenges are,” Dong-wook Lee, a senior researcher at the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology said.
In order to pull this off, Dong-wook Lee cooperated with the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. The 12-minute piece they planned to perform — “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind.
To pull off this impressive performance, the robot was preprogrammed to conduct through 30 cycles of beat patterns. Meanwhile, it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational (即兴的) score, adding depth to the otherwise planned piece. Together, they pulled off a masterful performance that the audience seemed more than happy to have had the opportunity to witness it firsthand!
With the concert having gone so well, this is only the start of EverR 6. Still, no matter the improvements they’re able to make to this robot, the human conductor isn’t concerned about being replaced. “Let’s leave the accuracy to the robots,” Soo-yeol Choi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects to a human conductor.”
9．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The function of the EverR 6 robot.
B．The development of the EverR 6 robot.
C．The EverR 6 robot’s role as a conductor.
D．The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 robot.
10．What can be learned about “Feel”
A．It is a piece familiar to the audience.
B．It is a piece requiring great ability to conduct.
C．It is the only piece that EverR 6 will perform.
D．It is a piece showing the human-robot cooperation.
11．What role did Soo-yeol Choi play in the performance
A．He corrected the robot’s mistakes.
B．He programmed the EverR 6 robot.
C．He was the main conductor of the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra.
D．He led the improvisational section of the performance.
Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them, and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers' dining rooms — maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.
There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world, where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.
And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven (烤箱) up.
However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”
The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”
12．Why do people pay less attention to the Sunday roast nowadays
A．They have a busy lifestyle.
B．They have no interest in cooking.
C．They don’t think it worthwhile.
D．They are living in the modern society.
13．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A．A recent article.
B．The fine old tradition.
C．A traditional kitchen.
D．The Sunday morning activity.
14．How does the author feel towards the Sunday roast's decline
A．Sorry. B．Doubtful.
C．Uncertain. D．Positive.
15．What is the best title for the passage
A．Sunday — Best Time for Family
B．The Sunday Roast Is Dying Out
C．It’s the Perfect Time for Us
D．Let’s Sit Down Together
People have a responsibility to safeguard their personal health and wellness. 16 Here are four important tips to always keep in mind in order to protect your own health and happiness：Schedule in “Me Time”
17 Regardless of your job or family situation, it's vital to set aside some time each day just for yourself. Whether that's an hour on the golf course, or a quick walk around the park, having time by yourself is important to your mental state.Get Plenty of Rest
Rest is often ignored by people. 18 What's more, many people are impatient and don't want to rest
after injuries, surgeries, or accidents. No matter how badly you want to get back to the office or the gym, be sure to play it safe and never return to action too soon after a layoff.
Listen to Medical Professionals
Sometimes medical advice is hard to follow. Starting a diet or changing your daily routine based on your doctor's instructions can be extremely challenging. Yet, it's key to realize that medical professionals are simply trying to help you help yourself. 19 Speak Up
Speaking about personal issues or concerns can make people feel very uncomfortable. 20 Asking for help and standing up for yourself will ensure that your voice is heard. Of course, you should always be polite and courteous, but you should never be afraid to discuss issues that are important to you.
A．Unfortunately, it can be easy to lose sight of that fact.
B．Not all medical professionals' advice is right for you.
C．Experts say 7-9 hours of sleep a day is essential for good health.
D．Many people don't get the recommended amount of sleep per night.
E．If you're like millions of others, then your schedule must always be full.
F．While you might not like it, doctors' advice could actually save your life.
G．However, it's vital to speak your mind when you feel worried, or confused.
三、完形填空
When our school announced a tree-planting project in the desert area, I hesitated. The task seemed too 21 for a group of teenagers. But deep down, I knew this was a chance to prove our 22 could make a real difference.
The first day was 23 . Strong winds blew sand into our eyes, and the temperature 24 sharply at night. By the third day, half of our team wanted to 25 .

Her words 27 something in me. The next morning, I volunteered to dig holes in the hardest soil. Slowly, others 28 me. We created an assembly line: some carried water, some planted, and others built protective fences. Our 29 became smoother with each passing day.
Two months later, standing on a small hill, we saw straight rows of young trees 30 in the wind. They covered what was once bare sand like green soldiers. A local farmer approached, tears in his eyes: “You’ve given us 31 that this land can be saved.”
This experience taught me that 32 doesn’t require superpowers. Ordinary people taking 33 action can create extraordinary change. Now when I see classmates wasting paper, I 34 share our desert story.

九、书面表达
59．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。
That was a big competition. We all knew it. The entire school was filled with excitement and anticipation. It was the annual choir(合唱) competition, and we were determined to participate despite knowing that many of us were not the best singers.
As the class monitor, I felt responsible for calling in my classmates and convincing them to join the chorus. I knew it wouldn’t be easy; some of them were hesitant and gave me skeptical looks, while others ran away. But I wasn’t ready to give up.
With a persuasive tone and genuine enthusiasm, I spoke to my classmates, explaining why it was important for us to participate as a team. I told them that it wasn’t about being the best, but about coming together and enjoying the experience of singing as a group. Slowly, I started to see some students were interested and a few of them promised to give it a try.
Our rehearsals (排练) were intense, filled with laughter, and sometimes frustration. We tried our best to perfect our harmonies and cooperation, but deep down, we still held onto the belief that we would probably end up at the bottom of all-the choirs. In that moment of despair, a boy from our choir whispered, “Are we just asking for humiliation(羞辱) ” The words made our doubts and fears stronger.
But right before it was our turn to step onto the stage, Mrs. Wood, our music teacher, brought us together in a tight group. She looked into our eyes and said firmly, “We are not here to impress; we are here to express.” Her words made all the difference.
With an understanding of the true meaning of our performance, we stepped onto the stage. As the music started, we sang from our hearts. We didn’t worry about being perfect or winning the competition; we focused on expressing our love for music and the joy of singing together.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When the performance ended, our headmaster stepped onto the stage.

9．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Over a year ago, work to develop automaton (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1.8 meters.

10．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The 12-minute piece they planned to perform, “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind. (他们计划演奏的12分钟的曲目是孙一勋的《Feel》，这是专门为此次活动制作的。这首歌是在考虑到EverR 6和人类指挥家崔秀烈(Soo-yeol Choi)的长处后创作的。)”可推知，“Feel”是一个展示人机合作的作品。故选D。
11．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Meanwhile, it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational (即兴的) score, adding depth to the otherwise planned piece. (与此同时，由人类指挥来带领乐队创作即兴乐谱，为原本计划好的作品增加深度。)”可知，他在表演中指挥演出的即兴部分。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着现代生活节奏加快，英国传统的家庭“周日烤肉”活动几乎成为过去时的现象。英国有媒体指出，吃“周日烤肉”这一传统不能被抛弃，让这个优秀的古老传统消失将是一种耻辱，况且它对家庭还有益。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段“In the busy modern world, where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don't seem to have the time or patience to make a roast. (在繁忙的现代社会，早餐是在上班或上学的路上吃一片吐司，午餐是在电脑屏幕前快速吃一个三明治，人们似乎只是没有时间或耐心做一个烤肉)”可知，忙碌的生活方式使人们没有时间和耐心去烤肉，导致周日烤肉活动正在逐渐消失。故选A项。
13．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.” (然而，《每日电讯报》最近的一篇文章警告说，不要被我们紧凑的日程冲昏头脑：“让这个优秀的古老传统消失将是一种耻辱。”)”以及划线词所在句“The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. (《卫报》进一步解释说，吃大餐只是其中的一半)”可知，it指代上句中的“this fine old tradition(优秀的古老传统)”。故选B项。
14．推理判断题。根据文章最后两段，以however开头，话锋一转，提到英国有媒体指出“It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.(让这个古老的好传统消失是很遗憾的)”，最后一段罗列了吃“周日烤肉”这一传统的益处“The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. (《卫报》进一步解释说，吃大餐只是其中的一半。周日的烤肉也为厨房提供了轻松的早晨活动，餐桌也成为与家人和朋友分享美食和聊天的完美场所)”可推知，如此一个历史悠久的有益家庭的“周日烤肉”传统却在逐渐消失，作者应是深表遗憾。故选A项。
15．主旨大意题。文章第一段第二、三句“But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together. (但现在，传统的周日烧烤似乎已经被留在了过去。据《每日邮报》报道，只有1/50的英国家庭每周会一起吃这顿饭)”为全文的主题句，只有50分之一的英国家庭仍然保持这个传统，下文具体介绍了导致这种现象的原因。由此可知，B项“周日烤肉快绝迹了”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。

36．strict 37．Free 38．different 39．homework 40．enjoyable
【原文】M: Good morning, everyone. I’m glad to be invited here to tell you something about life at college.
Unlike high schools, colleges don’t have a very strict schedule for classes. Also, you have more free time to do what you like. What you do with that free time tends to be different day by day. For example, I have only one class on Mondays from 9:30 am to 10:20 am. Then during the rest of the day, I am free until 6:00 pm when I begin to teach a boy math. That’s a lot of time. I might do different things such as taking a nap, working on homework, going out to have lunch with friends, studying for a test, and so on. Other days I have different classes, and my schedule will also change then.
On the whole, I find college life much more enjoyable than high school life. I like the freedom of not having to sit in a classroom for 8 hours. I’m responsible for my own time.
You’re going to college soon. And you’ll be able to know what college life is like better then.
41．to take
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他周末的计划是带他的狗去公园自由自在地长跑，呼吸新鲜空气，享受大自然的简单乐趣。该空所给动词take在句中作表语，解释主语plan的内容，应使用动词不定式形式。故填take。
42．it
【详解】考查代词。句意：汤姆之前没有编程经验这一事实，使得他很难得到那份软件开发工作。分析句子可知，这里考查make it hard for sb. to do sth.，是固定结构，表“让某人做某事很困难”，其中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的to get the software development job。故填it。
43．on
【详解】考查固定搭配。句意：新规定将对小企业产生直接影响。此处为固定短语“have an effect on...”，表示“对……有影响”，所以此处使用介词on。故填on。
44．frequently

45．an
【详解】考查冠词。句意：这本文学杂志一直是作家们的一个有影响力的平台，如今由于数字媒体的兴起，它正面临着挑战。分析句子可知，platform为可数名词，此处表示“一个有影响力的平台”，表泛指，应用不定冠词修饰；influential读音以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词an。故填 an。
46．is polished
【详解】考查动词语态。句意：旧家具经常被擦亮以防止它看起来破旧不堪。句子陈述的是一般事实，时态应用一般现在时，polish“擦亮”与句子主语furniture之间为被动关系，句子应用一般现在时的被动语态，furniture为不可数名词，be动词用is。故填is polished
47．resolution
【详解】考查名词。句意：他下定决心要通过定期锻炼和健康饮食来改善自己的身体素质。空处应填名词单数作宾语，故填resolution。
48．where
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我祖父母居住的那个城镇被美丽的群山环绕。空格处引导定语从句，修饰先行词The town表示地点，且从句中不缺主语和宾语，因此应用关系副词where引导该定语从句，在从句中作地点状语。故填where。
49．harmonious
【详解】考查形容词。句意：他们生活在一个和谐的社区，每个人都互相帮助。形容词harmonious作定语修饰名词。故填harmonious。
50．Appointed

51． in particular
【详解】考查介词短语。句意：我喜欢阅读涉及诸多主题的书籍，但我尤其痴迷于科幻小说。“特别”为“in particular”作状语。故填in particular。
52． took over
【详解】考查动词短语及时态。句意：经过多年的努力工作，他终于从父亲手中接管了家族企业。根据汉语提示“接管”可知，空处应用动词短语take over，句子描述过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时，所以动词take用过去式took。故填①took②over。
53． made up his mind
【详解】考查句型转换。句意：这个男孩已经决定参加这场激烈的比赛。分析句子可知，make a decision可转换为make up one’s mind，均表“决定”，且这里动词应用过去分词形式与前面has构成现在完成时，one’s这里应用his。故填made up his mind。
54． is made up of

55．Several environmental protection measures have been carried out by the local government to reduce air pollution over the past three years.
【详解】考查现在完成时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的三年里，当地政府已经采取了一些环境保护措施来减少空气污染。原句中的several environmental protection measures 与动词短语carry out 之间为被动关系，且为复数形式，助动词应用have，所以变为被动句后谓语动词为have been carried out，the local government为动作的发出者，所以应用介词by加the local government，其它不变，所以原句变为被动句后为Several environmental protection measures have been carried out by the local government to reduce air pollution over the past three years，故答案为Several environmental protection measures have been carried out by the local government to reduce air pollution over the past three years。
56．Excited by the new discovery, we decided to go out and celebrate.
【详解】考查分词作状语。句意：因为对这一新发现感到兴奋，我们决定出去庆祝。根据题目要求，需要用分词短语作状语。去掉引导从句的连词Because，因为从句的主语 we 和主句的主语 we 是同一个，所以我们可以省略从句中的主语 we。从句的谓语动词 were excited，省略系动词were，保留核心的过去分词 excited，用形容词化的过去分词 excited 描述了主语的状态（感到兴奋），作伴随状语，保留过去分词 excited 搭配的介词短语 by the new discovery。故答案为Excited by the new discovery, we decided to go out and celebrate。
57．There is no doubt that reading books can broaden our horizons and enrich our knowledge.
【详解】考查固定句型和动词短语。根据句意，该句描述客观事实，使用一般现在时。表示“毫无疑问”为固定句型there is no doubt that...，其中that引导同位语从句，解释说明doubt的内容；表示“阅读书籍”为动名词短语reading books作从句主语；表示“拓宽视野”为broaden one's horizons，“丰富知识”为enrich one's knowledge，情态动词can后接动词原形，our表示“我们的”，所以表示“拓宽我们的视野并丰富我们的知识”为can broaden our horizons and enrich our knowledge。故翻译为There is no doubt that reading books can broaden our horizons and enrich our knowledge.
58．参考范文：
Dear classmates,
Today I want to talk about how we can protect the environment starting from our classroom. Look around our classroom: Many lights stay on when no one is here! Half-used notebooks get thrown away. Plastic bottles fill the trash cans.
To solve these issues, here are some suggestions. First, we can conserve energy by turning off lights and fans whenever leaving classrooms and utilizing both sides of paper for note-taking. And to save trees, use both sides of paper. Finally, don’t forget to recycle bottles.
Remember, small actions make a difference. Let’s start by refusing single-use products and organizing a campus clean-up next Friday. Together, we can make our school a greener place. Every effort counts!
Thank you!
59．When the performance ended, our headmaster stepped onto the stage. Standing on the stage, he presented his appreciation to us for our actively taking part in the competition, and congratulated us for our successfully performing the whole song. Excited and thrilled, we students applauded warmly, showing our approval for him and expressing thanks to ourselves for our joint efforts. For now, we were not concerned about what results we would get, but enjoyed the precious moment on the stage, when we expressed ourselves thoroughly. With our warm applause and cheers, the headmaster stepped off the stage with satisfaction.
The competition results were announced later, and we were awarded a special medal for our team spirit. Not getting the top prize, we were not sad at all, instead, we were proud of ourselves and were giving thanks to each other for our team spirit. We all believed that the experience of participating in the competition would remain in our hearts for a long time, for it was not only a reward for our efforts, but also a proof of our way to express ourselves through singing. It was after the competition that I came to enlightenment that competition is not a real competition, but a test of ourselves, and only when we stepped out bravely, could we understand its meaning.
