of days now with no success. I have to say, this is truly disappointing for a five-star hotel, especially
with the amount of money we spent during our stay with you. My family and I stayed at the Hotel
Chandelier from May 25th to 27th and the whole experience was just absolutely awful. None of
your waiters could speak Russian, even though I have an email from you assuring us that there
would be a minimum of two Russian speaking staff on every shift. You had noisy kids’ activities and
competitions by the pool non-stop. It made it really difficult to relax. When expressing our concerns

me as soon as possible or I will take these matters to my legal team.

road that connected ancient Maya cities over 1,200 years ago. In Guatemala, they also discovered
a previously unknown Maya civilization with 964 settlements connected by 177 kilometers of
ancient roads. These findings show that the Americas had complex and thriving societies long
before European settlers arrived. The discoveries remind us how advanced these ancient
civilizations were, though their development was later interrupted by colonization. Each new
discovery helps build a more complete picture of these remarkable ancient societies.(去年，研究人
员利用激光雷达发现了一条长达 18 公里的道路，这条道路连接了 1200 多年前的玛雅古城。
在危地马拉，他们还发现了一个以前不为人知的玛雅文明，其中有 964 个定居点，由 177
公里长的古道连接起来。这些发现表明，早在欧洲定居者到来之前，美洲就有了复杂而繁荣
的社会。这些发现提醒我们这些古代文明是多么的先进，尽管它们的发展后来被殖民所打断。
每一项新发现都有助于更全面地了解这些非凡的古代社会)”可知，最后一段表达了古代美洲
有先进的社会，故选 C。

许多古代物品，这些物品将在未来几个月里在实验室里进行研究)”结合文章主要讲述了在墨
西哥修建公路时偶然发现了一座金字塔遗址，科学家们对其进行研究，还介绍了利用现代技
术在美洲不断发现古代建筑遗址，这些发现揭示了过去的文明。可知，C 选项“意外的发现

表面，具有极佳的降噪效果)”可知，Wittock 通过创造有衬垫的表面使家具减少声音。故选 B。
30．C 推理判断题。根据第四段“The tennis balls Wittock uses are donated from tennis clubs.
She now works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who offered her their entire stock of
100,000 balls. This will last for a while as Wittock can only use around 1,800 a week.(Wittock 使
用的网球是来自网球俱乐部的捐赠。她现在与布鲁塞尔的瓦隆尼亚联盟合作，后者向她提供
了他们全部的 10 万个球。这将持续一段时间，因为 Wittock 每周只能使用大约 1800 个)”可

第二节
One possible version：
It was a brown box, taped shut with clear packing tape. I carefully cut the tape and opened the
box. My heart skipped a beat as I recognized the covers of the Famous Five series. I couldn’t
believe my eyes—here they were, the books that had once been my closest companions during my
childhood in Austria. I felt a rush of emotions, from joy to nostalgia, as I turned the pages and saw
the illustrations that had once sparked my imagination. “Where did you get them ” I asked
curiously.
My husband looked at me, saying, “India.” I looked up, puzzled. “India ” he nodded and
explained that he had found a rare bookstore in India that specialized in out-of-print English books.

He had searched high and low for them and had finally found them there. He had wanted to
surprise me. I was overwhelmed with gratitude and love for my husband. He had gone to great
lengths to find these books for me, and in doing so, he had given me a gift that was far more
valuable than any material possession. It was a gift of memories, of connection, and of love.

Construction workers recently found the ruins of a large pyramid beside a highway in Mexico. After discovering the site, researchers collected many ancient objects that will be studied in their laboratories over the coming months. The structure was found in June 2024 during highway expansion work in Hidalgo, central Mexico. The discovery happened by chance as workers were adding a third lane to the federal highway, showing how ancient structures can still be found during modern construction projects.
Scientists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History went to study the site. They used drones to take pictures and collected 155 items, including pieces of pottery, stone tools, and shells. To protect the old building, they built a large wall around the pyramid, which is 43 meters long and 11.7 meters high.
The pyramid is part of an old settlement called San Miguel, built between 650-1519 CE. The area was ruled by the “Metzca lordship,” which influenced the region until the 1500s. People have lived in this region for a very long time, with the oldest settlements dating back at least 14,000 years. This shows that many different groups of people have lived here over thousands of years.
Scientists keep finding hidden ancient buildings in Mexico and other parts of the Americas. Many discoveries are made using LiDAR, a technology that uses laser light to see things concealed under plants and trees. This tool helps archaeologists (考古学家) find old structures that they couldn’t see just by looking at the ground.
Last year, researchers used LiDAR to find an 18-kilometer road that connected ancient Maya cities over 1,200 years ago. In Guatemala, they also discovered a previously unknown Maya civilization with 964 settlements connected by 177 kilometers of ancient roads. These findings show that the Americas had complex and thriving societies long before European settlers arrived. The discoveries remind us how advanced these ancient civilizations were, though their development was later interrupted by colonization. Each new discovery helps build a more complete picture of these remarkable ancient societies.
24．What action did scientists take first after discovering the site
A．They restored the pyramid. B．They contacted local authorities.
C．They removed all artifacts. D．They photographed the site.
25．What does the underlined word “concealed” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Ancient. B．Hidden. C．Risky. D．Connected.
26．What does the author convey in the last paragraph
A．Maya civilization was primitive. B．European settlers improved local life.
C．Ancient Americas had advanced societies. D．Modern technology surpasses ancient wisdom.
27．What’s the best title for the text
A．Mexico builds new highways. B．Ancient ruins need protection.
C．Unexpected discovery reveals past civilization. D．Modern technology helps archaeological work.

Tennis is a popular sport with growing impact on trends, from clothing to movies. Now, it’s even influencing furniture design. Belgium eco-designer Mathilde Wittock is creating furniture from discarded tennis balls. She chose to repurpose tennis balls due to their short lifespan. “It takes around 24 different manufacturing steps to produce a tennis ball, which is around five days. Then it has such a short lifespan,” Wittock told CNN. She aims to keep the 300 million tennis balls produced annually out of landfills.
Wittock graduated in 2021 from Central Saint Martins with degrees in product design and natural design. Her degree project, Soundbounce, was an acoustic (隔音的) material made from recycled tennis balls, inspired by her sensitivity to noise. “Being very sensitive to noise, the tennis ball presented an opportunity to address this issue,” she said. “And, with noise pollution an ever-increasing problem, its effects are still largely unknown, but it is evident that it negatively impacts physical and mental health so creating solutions for this is key.”
Creating furniture from tennis balls is challenging. Wittock cuts each ball by hand along the white line, removes the brand logo, and creates frames with holes where the taken-apart balls fit. The result is a padded (衬垫) surface excellent for sound reduction. It takes her three to four weeks to complete a chaise, which she sells for $2,900. Each ball is dyed by hand to match the client’s space.
The tennis balls Wittock uses are donated from tennis clubs. She now works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who offered her their entire stock of 100,000 balls. This will last for a while as Wittock can only use around 1,800 a week.
The life of these tennis balls doesn’t end as furniture. When the soft covering wears away or the rubber breaks down, the furniture pieces can be taken apart and recycled into other useful objects like playground mats. Being able to keep reusing materials is key to eco-design. Wittock’s work demonstrates how discarded items can be transformed into functional, sustainable products.
28．What was Soundbounce inspired by
A．Wittock’s love for tennis. B．Wittock’s design degrees.
C．Wittock’s sensitivity to noise. D．Wittock’s wish to recycle balls.
29．How does Wittock make the furniture sound-reducing
A．By using special machines. B．By creating padded surfaces.
C．By adding extra coverings. D．By choosing thick materials.
30．Why does the author mention the Federation of Wallonia
A．To show Wittock’s social skills. B．To show the large demand for balls.
C．To show the support for Wittock’s work. D．To show the popularity of Wittock’s furniture.
31．What does the author think of Wittock’s work
A．It’s innovative. B．It’s wasteful. C．It’s ordinary. D．It’s expensive.
D
Many of the astronauts going up to space are among the smartest people on the planet. However, a new NASA study has found a surprising effect of space travel — it may actually slow down the human brain.
Contrary to what you might expect, researchers discovered that while space travelers orbit the Earth, they experience some temporary mental slowdowns, including processing information slower and difficulties with attention and memory.
Luckily, the study also finds spending months in space doesn’t permanently scramble (打乱) an astronaut’s cognitive (认知的) abilities. Their overall brain performance remains remarkably resilient (有适应力的).
The study examined 25 professional astronauts who spent an average of six months aboard the International Space Station. Scientists tracked their cognitive performance through a series of rigorous (谨慎的) tests designed to measure everything from processing speed to memory and attention. “We show that there is no evidence of any significant cognitive impairment or neurodegenerative decline in astronauts spending six months on the ISS,” explains Dr. Sheena Dev, the study’s lead researcher, in a media release.
So what exactly changed Think of it like your brain running in “low power mode”. Astronauts completed tasks just as accurately as they would on Earth, but they took slightly longer to process information. Processing speed, working memory, and attention were the most affected cognitive fields — similar to how you might feel after a stressful day without enough sleep. The most interesting but unusual finding is how quickly the brain adapts. Some performance changes, like slower attention spans, were only noticeable early in the mission. Others, like reduced processing speed, took a bit longer to return to normal after the astronauts returned to Earth.
These insights are more than just scientific curiosity. As humanity looks toward ambitious missions to the Moon and Mars, understanding how the human brain responds to extreme environments becomes crucial. This research provides a baseline for future space explorers, helping mission planners predict and reduce potential cognitive challenges.
32．How may astronauts perform during space travel
A．They take longer to respond to the tasks. B．They complete tasks as quickly as on earth.
C．Their cognitive abilities are damaged heavily. D．They spend years recovering their physical health
33．What does the underlined word “impairment” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Improvement. B．Damage. C．Development. D．Change.
34．What can we learn from the passage
A．Astronauts’ cognitive abilities remain stable wherever they are.
B．Astronauts’ performance in space is much worse than that on Earth.
C．Astronauts’ attention spans were always slower in the space.
D．Astronauts’ brain performance can return to normal later
35．What does the last paragraph mainly about
A．The later plans for space missions. B．The development of cognitive study.
C．The significance of the study. D．The future of space exploration.

When my husband asked me what I wanted for the coming festival, I replied, “The Famous Five series.” His first response was, “What’s that ” I had to explain. He knew there was loss and sadness associated with moving so many times, and that I’d lost some material things along the way. What I hadn’t explained quite yet was my desire to connect with my past through the books I’d enjoyed as a child.
During our elementary school years in Austria, I would frequent the British bookshop in Vienna. During those visits, I acquired all twenty-one books in the Famous Five series by the British author Enid Blyton. I enjoyed reading about the adventures of the “Five”, which included siblings (兄妹)Julian, Dick, and Anne as well as their cousin Georgina and her dog Timmy. The stories feature funny plots centering on catching bad people—quite extraordinary, considering the heroes were mere teenagers! The books were my passports to adventures I’d never experienced in my own life.
Unfortunately, my family had to move to the United States quite abruptly due to a health emergency. My parents had to make difficult decisions about what to bring to America. Since books were heavy, my parents were unable to bring most of my books with them, including the Famous Five series. I was heartbroken!
Fast forward to seven years into my marriage, some seventeen years after I’d left my treasured Famous Five series behind, I decided I wanted to acquire my books for a holiday. I’d been searching the Internet for the series but got disappointed, because no American book publishers or websites had the books. We could have bought them on a foreign website, but we were nervous about using our credit card that way.
The festival eventually arrived and my husband, daughter, and I sat around the table. We traditionally opened one present and each of us picked a gift. My daughter opened hers first, and then my husband. I eyed my chosen present, a colorfully wrapped box, and guessed what it might be. “An elephant ” my daughter smiled. “Oh, let’s end the suspense!” I said and began tearing the wrapping.
注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was a brown box, taped shut with clear packing tape.
