A
Have you heard of these four monuments
Carhenge.Floralis Genérica.Traffic Light Tree.Hand of the Desert—these are four unusual monuments from around the world you might like to visit.
Carhenge
Carhenge is in Alliance,Nebraska(USA).As the name suggests,it has a lot in common with Stonehenge,the famous stone circle on Salisbury Plain.But while Stonehenge was built with stones,Carhenge was created with cars.The monument was made in 1987 by a local artist Jim Reinders and his family.He used old cars and even an ambulance.At first,the people of Alliance didn’t like it,but they soon changed their minds after it became popular with tourists,who brought lots of money to the town.
Floralis Genérica
Floralis Genérica is a massive statue of a flower.It stands in a pool of water in front of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires,Argentina.Eduardo Catalano,a native of Argentina,gave the statue as a gift to the city in 2002.Every morning,the flower opens.Ask anyone who has seen it and they’ll tell you that watching it open is an unforgettable sight.In fact,many people believe it is one of the most beautiful statues in the world.
Traffic Light Tree
The Traffic Light Tree is situated at Heron Quay,in one of London’s financial districts.The tree has 75 sets of traffic lights.It was created by French artist,Pierre Vivant,and was installed in 1998.A computer controls the lights,which are turned on and off randomly.The roundabout where the tree is was voted the most popular roundabout in the UK in a recent survey.
Mano del Desierto (Hand of the Desert)
The Hand of the Desert is in the Atacama Desert in Chile.The sculpture was designed by the Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrazabal.From a distance,it looks as if there’s a giant in the sand who has stuck his hand out of the ground.
If you’re looking for something new to see,you know where to go!
21.Why did the people of Alliance change their attitude toward Carhenge
A.It reminded them of Stonehenge. B.It brought them financial benefits.

It was a sunny winter day.I had gone up and down the tower when,outside the little door at the foot,a blind man came toward me.He was a pale,thin man with dark glasses.He kept close to the inner wall of the courtyard.On reaching the door,he touched it and sharply turned inside.In a moment,he disappeared up the staircase.I stood still,looking at the little sign that said “To the Tower...”.I felt obliged to follow.
I didn’t follow closely.I caught up with him in the ticket office.There I was surprised to see the attendant selling him a ticket as though he were any other visitor.With the ticket in one hand and touching the wall with the other,he reached the staircase leading to the hallway.
“That man is blind,” I said to the attendant,but he showed no concern.“He’s blind,” I repeated.He didn’t answer,looking at me vacantly.
“Perhaps he wants to jump,” I said.But his chair was too comfortable.He didn’t stir.He still looked down at a crossword puzzle he had begun.I turned toward the staircase.
“The ticket,” the attendant said,rising from his chair.It seemed the only thing that could move him.After purchasing my ticket,I hurried up the staircase.
The man hadn’t gone as far as I imagined.After ten minutes,I approached him.“Excuse me,” I said as politely as I could,“but I am very curious to know why you came up.”
“You’d never guess,” he said.
“Not the view,I take it,or the fresh air on this winter day,” I said.
He smiled.“Coming up the stairs,one can feel the change—the cool staircase suddenly becomes quite warm and how up here behind the wall there is shade,but as soon as one goes opposite a narrow window one finds the sun.In all of Siena there is no place so good as here.”
He moved into the sunlight.Then he stepped into the shade.“Light,shade,light,shade,” he said,and seemed as pleased as a child who,in a game of hopscotch,jumps from square to square.
We went down the tower together.I left him,gladdened as one can only be by the sunlight.
24.Why did the author follow the blind man
A.To offer timely help. B.To satisfy his curiosity.
C.To teach him a lesson. D.To prevent him from climbing up.
25.What was the attendant’s attitude to visitors

26.What encouraged the blind man to climb the tower
A.The fresh air on the top. B.The pleasant childhood memories.
C.The fantastic view from the tower. D.The striking contrast between light and shade.
27.What message does the writer want to convey in the text
A.Nature is the best gift for humanity.
B.When one door shuts,another opens in life.
C.Every individual can appreciate beauty in life.
D.The disadvantaged deserve care from the society.

When a scent moved gently through the air in the bedrooms of older adults for two hours every night for just six months,their memories skyrocketed.Participants in this study by UCI (University of California,Irvine) Centre reaped a 226% increase in cognitive(认知的) capacity compared to the control group.The researchers say the finding transforms the long-known tie between smell and memory into an easy,non-invasive(无创的) technique for strengthening memory and potentially preventing dementia.The team’s study appears in Frontiers in Neuroscience.
The study was conducted through the UCI Center for the Neurobiology of Learning & Memory.It involved men and women aged 60 to 85 without memory disorders.They were each given a diffuser (扩散器) and seven small bottles,each containing a single and different natural oil.People in the enriched group received full-strength bottles.Control group participants were given the oils in tiny amounts.Participants put a different bottle into their diffuser each evening prior to going to bed,and it remained active for two hours as they slept.
People in the enriched group showed a 226% increase in cognitive performance compared to the control group,as measured by a word list test commonly used to evaluate memory.CT imaging revealed better integrity brain pathway.The pathway affects decision-making ability and usually becomes less powerful with age.Participants also reported sleeping more soundly.
Scientists have long known that the loss of olfactory capacity,or ability to smell,can predict development of nearly 70 different kinds of diseases including Alzheimer’s and other dementia.Researchers have previously found that exposing people with moderate dementia to up to 40 different scents twice a day over a period of time boosted their memories and language skills,alleviated depression and improved their olfactory capacities.Later,the UCI team decided to try making this technique easier for older adults.
28.What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Dramatically declined. B.Slightly improved.
C.Severely weakened. D.Significantly increased.
29.What do we know about the experiment described in paragraph 2
A.All of the bottles contain the identical natural oil.
B.The given oil amount varies from group to group.
C.Each participant is distributed eight oil-filled bottles.
D.No requirement is for participants except age and sex.
30.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage
A.To report a study on scent exposure boosting memory.
B.To show a method to predict development of diseases.
C.To reveal the relationship between smell and memory.
D.To draw public attention to memory loss in older adults.
31.What will the follow-up paragraph most probably talk about
A.The approach to enhancing language skills.
B.The reason behind simplifying the technique.
C.The possibility of relieving severe depression.
D.The solution to recovering olfactory capacities.
D
When American anthropologist Colin Turnbull published The Mountain People in 1972,he referred to his subjects—a Ugandan group called the Ik—as “the loveless people”.After two years of observations,he decided that they reflected humanity’s basic instincts(本能):cheat,thievery,and pitilessness.But when Athena Aktipis and her colleagues from the Human Generosity Project took a deeper look,they identified a community that shared everything.“Turnbull had visited Uganda during a disastrous famine(饥荒).All he saw is what happens when people are starving,” says Aktipis.But her team revealed that despite living under pressure,the Ik placed a high value on helping one another when they could.
Aktipis believes that altruism is more common and beneficial than evolutionary social science has long thought.“It was assumed that people are designed to only do things to help themselves or their relatives,”she says.By studying the unique,selfless practices that helped nine communities across the world to continue to exist,the experts from the Project are looking to show that we are indeed capable of widespread cooperation.
The Maasai people in Kenya provide one of the project’s main points.They rely on two-way friendships for resources like food or water when they’re in need,without expecting any repayment.Also,a world away,in New Mexico,while folks often help transport cattle and receive support in return,they will assist without repayment if someone faces difficulties,such as an injury or the death of a loved one.
Aktipis believes theoretical frameworks she’s perfected through studying these groups can apply broadly to any interdependent systems.Her big goal is to design social-service systems that support everyone.Take market-based insurance in the United States as an example:It’s priced based on individual risk factors such as health histories and where people live,which means millions of Americans can’t afford it.But in a system built on neighboring,pooled costs(合并成本) would level the burden during collective hardship like natural disasters.
32.What did Turnbull think of the Ik people
A.Heartless. B.Helpful. C.Restless. D.Generous.
33.What does the underlined word “altruism” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Trying to be strong and tough to survive. B.Making full use of the surrounding resources.
C.Being devoted to themselves or their relatives. D.Caring about the needs and happiness of others.
34.What does paragraph 3 intend to convey
A.Friendships guarantee a well-being life. B.Folks assist each other to get support.
C.Cooperation is a good and natural instinct. D.People tend to provide resources for free.
35.How does Aktipis intend to apply her findings
A.By designing a policy for public health. B.By monitoring individual health histories.
C.By creating a system against collective hardship. D.By lowering insurance prices for individual victims.
第二节 七选五阅读（满分12.5分）
Cheerfulness is a powerful way to deal with a world that will always be tough and unjust in one way or another.It is a sign of strength in the face of difficulties.Different from fear,joy,or anger,cheerfulness isn’t something that overcomes you. 36 As such,you can include it into your life once you make the right mental switch.Here are four ways to do so.
◎Acknowledge the difficulties.
Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you’re not hiding from reality. 37 Instead,it’s extremely important to be honest with yourself about the problems you’re facing.Only by first acknowledging that things are tough will you be able to find ways to cope.
◎Don’t focus on the negative.
Whether in your personal life or in society,it’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong.But whatever you focus on,it grows.If you decide to focus on what’s going wrong,those problems will grow in your mind until they consume you. 38
◎Be grateful for what you have.
39 Usually,they’re the things we take for granted until they’re no longer there,such as good health,a loving family,or even something as simple as a beautiful sunrise.Being grateful will shift your perspective and make it easier to see the silver linings of your problems.
◎ 40
No cheerfulness without laughter.So you can watch comedies,browse websites,or joke around with friends.Laughter strengthens your immune system,boosts your mood,makes you feel less pain,and protects you from stress.Laughter is cathartic(精神宣泄的) and infectious.Laugh and brighten the room.
A.Find your sense of humor.
B.Deal with difficulties seriously.
C.Focus on the good things you have.
D.To a large degree,cheerfulness is a choice.
E.You’re not covering your eyes and looking away.
F.Acknowledge the problems,but don’t give them too much attention.
G.Being cheerful will make you see the world and your own life in a different way.

58.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词是things,在从句中作宾语,用which或者that引导。
59.attractions 考查名词。tourist attraction意为“旅游胜地”,attraction为可数名词,根据后文的centers可知,用复数形式。故填attractions。
60.leisurely 考查词性转换。设空处修饰动词短语seeking out,应用副词修饰。故填leisurely。
61.have been posted 考查动词时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,post作本句谓语,和主语videos之间是被动关系,根据时间状语in recent months可知,用现在完成时,所以用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been posted。
62.planned 考查词性转换。空后是名词,所以填形容词作定语,故填planned。
63.to promote 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词have included,所以设空处用非谓语动词形式,此处表目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to promote。
64.an 考查冠词。approach意为“方式”,为可数名词,句中用的单数,应用不定冠词修饰,approach为元音音素开头。故填an。
65.implies 考查主谓一致。根据空前的and可知,设空处和前文的sees并列,用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式。故填implies。

Dear Ryan,
I’m excited to hear about the English Reading Bar initiative.I recommend focusing on young adult fiction.
First of all,young adult literature often tackles themes and issues that are highly relevant to the teenage experience,such as identity,friendship,and coming of age,which can foster deep engagement and discussion.Moreover,the writing style in these books is typically more approachable for English learners,allowing students to focus on comprehension and enjoyment without being overwhelmed by complex language.Last but not least,they offer a wide array of stories with diverse characters and settings,promoting inclusivity and broadening students’ perspectives on different cultures and experiences.
I believe these selections will not only attract students to the bar but also enhance their reading skills and cultural awareness.
Best regards,
Li Hua

M:7Well,I had prepared it.I had some reading to do for my history project with me.
W:And it was a really hot day.

And I sat by the window.Anyway,while I was doing my reading,I was also listening to music,
and at one point,my earphones came out of my phone and the music played really loudly in the
carriage.Luckily,no one expressed the dissatisfaction about the noise.
