Born with a disability in her right leg, Mei faced numerous challenges in her daily life. Regardless, Mei refused to let her disability define her.
From a young age, Mei harbored a deep passion for painting. With the support of her loving family, she transformed her wheelchair into a mobile easel (画架), allowing her to create art wherever she went. Every stroke (笔画) of her brush was like a witness to her growth.
As Mei grew older, her talent attracted the attention of the local community. Encouraged by their support, she decided to pursue her dreams of becoming a professional artist. However, Mei soon encountered doubt from others, even her childhood best friends, who questioned her ability to succeed in the art world.
Instead of backing up, Mei pressed on, expressing her frustration (沮丧) into her artwork. Her paintings were beautiful, reflecting the beauty she saw in the world around her. Through her art, Mei found a sense of purpose, proving to herself and others that disabilities could not put out the fire of creativity.
Eventually, Mei received an invitation to showcase her artwork at Guggenheim Museum in New York. Wild with joy, she was unsure if she was ready to face the judgement of the art world. With the support of her family and friends, Mei decided to seize the opportunity.
The show was a great success. Through Mei’s journey, she was able to reach thousands of other people with disabilities who would benefit from her experience. That’s why she is still pressing on and fighting—not because she’s broken, but because she not only has an opportunity to fully achieve her potentials as a disabled person but also the will to inspire everyone else around her.

Have you ever been somewhere truly free from the sounds of humankind We become immune to the sounds of distant traffic and especially the subtle (不易觉察的) hum of planes high above in the sky, but there are few places that don’t have some form of noise pollution.
Noise pollution is noise that has surpassed surrounding noise levels and has a harmful impact on humans and animals. This type of pollution is generated by humans and is a form of environmental degradation (恶化). It can serve as a source of stress on fauna (动物群), which can have negative effects on animal welfare, and can even cause behavioral changes in birds, according to a study on the impacts of noise pollution on birds.
Noise pollution can be problematic when frequencies that are produced disrupt information transmission in animals, specifically animals that use similar frequencies to communicate. These disturbances can also lead to higher anti-predator behaviors in situations that don’t require it, as well as change species vocalization (发声), increase stress and stress related diseases, and have the potential to decrease populations.
Trees can be used against noise pollution, according to an investigation on the effects of leaves, branches, and canopies (树冠) on noise pollution. By decreasing the area in which noise is made and increasing tree presence with tree belts of at least 12 meters, trees could serve as a noise barrier in urban areas. Another study found that tree belts with a width of 30 meters could be planted on the roadside and have more than 6dB reduction of noise than a grassland would. The conclusion was that more trees, branches, and leaves could reduce noise pollution.
Regulations have also been placed in the US statewide and by local governments to reduce noise pollution. New York, for example, has a regulation that looks at occupational noise exposure; this ranges from monitoring noise to providing personal protective equipment. Many states and local governments in the US have their own regulations regarding noise pollution: however, many focus on the human impacts that noise pollution has and not the environmental impacts.
8. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1
A. Noise pollution widely exists. B. Humans aren’t impacted by noise.
C. It is hard for humans to hear plane noises. D. Lots of places are free from noise pollution.
9. What impact does noise pollution have on animals
A. It can relieve them from stress in life. B. It can cause much trouble to their hearing.
C. It can cause them to behave abnormally. D. It can prevent them from making any sound.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about
A Trees can be used to reduce noise pollution.
B. A study carried out by scientists on noise pollution.
C. The function of leaves, tree branches and canopies.
D. The differences between tree belts and grassland.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The US has spared great efforts to deal with pollution.
B. Different states share the same regulations on in the US.
C. All government levels take pollution seriously in the US.
D. Noise pollution has drawn great attention in the States.
D
What would happen to you if you fell into a black hole Some physicists believe you would burn up the moment you entered one. Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that you would pass through, unaware that you were lost to the rest of the universe.
Black holes have a bottom, but you wouldn’t live to see it. Gravity, as you fell, would grow stronger. The pull on your feet, if you were falling feet first, would be so much greater than the pull on your head that you would be stretched until you were torn apart. But pieces of you would reach the bottom. From there, some physicists believe that those pieces that once were you could end up in another universe.
However, nobody has ever seen or will see a black hole. A black hole is invisible, a blank spot in space, but scientists are able to know its existence by the effect it has on things around it. For example, if an object comes close to a black hole, it should be possible to see the powerful gravity of the black hole trying to pull the object in. In fact, this is exactly what scientists are planning to do: to observe one while it eats a very large object.
The black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is peaceful but is currently pulling a gas cloud toward itself fast. As the gas cloud begins to enter the black hole, telescopes will be able to take a picture of a black hole in action. This will be the best proof so far that black holes certainly exist.
A black hole is an eater. The nearer objects get to it, the hotter they become. Black holes also spin (旋转), and the extreme heat and spinning break up and expel large amounts of matter at extremely high temperatures. This heated matter flies through space, away from the hole at unbelievable speed. It can travel millions of light-years straight through a galaxy. The material then cools, comes together, and eventually forms new stars around the galaxy, thus the birth of new universes.
12. According to paragraph 2, what is the consequence of falling into a black hole
A. Being reduced to pieces. B. Being stretched into a single piece.
C. Being burned in another universe. D. Being pulled to the bottom instantly.
13. Why does the author use the example in paragraph 3
A. To prove that no one can see a black hole.
B. To show that black holes can in fact be detected.
C. To observe while a black hole eats a huge object.
D. To see the powerful gravity a black hole possesses.
14. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in the last paragraph
A. Set up. B. Take in. C. Throw off. D. Call for.
15. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. What a black hole is and its various aspects.
B. Why a black hole is invisible and its final discovery.
C. How a black hole is formed and its unknown mysteries.
D. When a black hole bears a universe and its amazing origin.

The Smile
If there is anything that I could remember distinctly till date in my life, it is my mother’s smile. It was her smile that made me get ready to school, go with confidence to face all my challenges at school and be successful. Her smile did all the magic.
I was in grade 7 and was the topper of my class in academics, sports, speech contests, singing, music…. Friends surrounded me everywhere and I was the star of the school. Everyone who met my parents always had these words to say, “You have a very talented child. You are very lucky.” I was filled with happiness and pride and I knew that I had made my parents very happy.
My ambitions grew and I wanted to have nothing but the best in my life. Things were fine until one day. I came back home with an award I won in the elocution (朗诵) competition at school. Filled with pride, I gave it to my mother and waited for her beautiful smile. She smiled and congratulated me and asked, “Did your friends participate in the competition What were their positions in the competition ” I was a little annoyed. In fact, I do not even remember who was second and third or who participated. I told her that I was very tired and did not remember everything.
I started noticing a change in my mother, especially her smile. It was not the same lovely smile that I used to see. One day, when I was getting ready for the sports competition, she asked why I was not practicing with my friends. I told her that I was meant to be the first and I had no business to be with friends who are not ambitious. My mother patiently told me that I have forgotten to enjoy the simple little things in life like laughing and smiling, spending time and helping my friends in their difficulty, being their support. She said that a human being becomes a good person not with their success but with the love that he/she shares with one another and by achieving 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。
I was on the track field the next day at school, ready to run the 200m running race.

Have you ever been somewhere truly free from the sounds of humankind We become immune to the sounds of distant traffic and especially the subtle (不易觉察的) hum of planes high above in the sky, but there are few places that don’t have some form of noise pollution.
Noise pollution is noise that has surpassed surrounding noise levels and has a harmful impact on humans and animals. This type of pollution is generated by humans and is a form of environmental degradation (恶化). It can serve as a source of stress on fauna (动物群), which can have negative effects on animal welfare, and can even cause behavioral changes in birds, according to a study on the impacts of noise pollution on birds.
Noise pollution can be problematic when frequencies that are produced disrupt information transmission in animals, specifically animals that use similar frequencies to communicate. These disturbances can also lead to higher anti-predator behaviors in situations that don’t require it, as well as change species vocalization (发声), increase stress and stress related diseases, and have the potential to decrease populations.
Trees can be used against noise pollution, according to an investigation on the effects of leaves, branches, and canopies (树冠) on noise pollution. By decreasing the area in which noise is made and increasing tree presence with tree belts of at least 12 meters, trees could serve as a noise barrier in urban areas. Another study found that tree belts with a width of 30 meters could be planted on the roadside and have more than 6dB reduction of noise than a grassland would. The conclusion was that more trees, branches, and leaves could reduce noise pollution.
Regulations have also been placed in the US statewide and by local governments to reduce noise pollution. New York, for example, has a regulation that looks at occupational noise exposure; this ranges from monitoring noise to providing personal protective equipment. Many states and local governments in the US have their own regulations regarding noise pollution: however, many focus on the human impacts that noise pollution has and not the environmental impacts.
8. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1
A. Noise pollution widely exists. B. Humans aren’t impacted by noise.
C. It is hard for humans to hear plane noises. D. Lots of places are free from noise pollution.
9. What impact does noise pollution have on animals
A. It can relieve them from stress in life. B. It can cause much trouble to their hearing.
C. It can cause them to behave abnormally. D. It can prevent them from making any sound.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about
A Trees can be used to reduce noise pollution.
B. A study carried out by scientists on noise pollution.
C. The function of leaves, tree branches and canopies.
D. The differences between tree belts and grassland.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The US has spared great efforts to deal with pollution.
B. Different states share the same regulations on in the US.
C. All government levels take pollution seriously in the US.
D. Noise pollution has drawn great attention in the States.

What would happen to you if you fell into a black hole Some physicists believe you would burn up the moment you entered one. Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that you would pass through, unaware that you were lost to the rest of the universe.
Black holes have a bottom, but you wouldn’t live to see it. Gravity, as you fell, would grow stronger. The pull on your feet, if you were falling feet first, would be so much greater than the pull on your head that you would be stretched until you were torn apart. But pieces of you would reach the bottom. From there, some physicists believe that those pieces that once were you could end up in another universe.
However, nobody has ever seen or will see a black hole. A black hole is invisible, a blank spot in space, but scientists are able to know its existence by the effect it has on things around it. For example, if an object comes close to a black hole, it should be possible to see the powerful gravity of the black hole trying to pull the object in. In fact, this is exactly what scientists are planning to do: to observe one while it eats a very large object.
The black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is peaceful but is currently pulling a gas cloud toward itself fast. As the gas cloud begins to enter the black hole, telescopes will be able to take a picture of a black hole in action. This will be the best proof so far that black holes certainly exist.
A black hole is an eater. The nearer objects get to it, the hotter they become. Black holes also spin (旋转), and the extreme heat and spinning break up and expel large amounts of matter at extremely high temperatures. This heated matter flies through space, away from the hole at unbelievable speed. It can travel millions of light-years straight through a galaxy. The material then cools, comes together, and eventually forms new stars around the galaxy, thus the birth of new universes.
12. According to paragraph 2, what is the consequence of falling into a black hole
A. Being reduced to pieces. B. Being stretched into a single piece.
C. Being burned in another universe. D. Being pulled to the bottom instantly.
13. Why does the author use the example in paragraph 3
A. To prove that no one can see a black hole.
B. To show that black holes can in fact be detected.
C. To observe while a black hole eats a huge object.
D. To see the powerful gravity a black hole possesses.
14. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in the last paragraph
A. Set up. B. Take in. C. Throw off. D. Call for.
15. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. What a black hole is and its various aspects.
B. Why a black hole is invisible and its final discovery.
C. How a black hole is formed and its unknown mysteries.
D. When a black hole bears a universe and its amazing origin.

The Smile
If there is anything that I could remember distinctly till date in my life, it is my mother’s smile. It was her smile that made me get ready to school, go with confidence to face all my challenges at school and be successful. Her smile did all the magic.
I was in grade 7 and was the topper of my class in academics, sports, speech contests, singing, music…. Friends surrounded me everywhere and I was the star of the school. Everyone who met my parents always had these words to say, “You have a very talented child. You are very lucky.” I was filled with happiness and pride and I knew that I had made my parents very happy.
My ambitions grew and I wanted to have nothing but the best in my life. Things were fine until one day. I came back home with an award I won in the elocution (朗诵) competition at school. Filled with pride, I gave it to my mother and waited for her beautiful smile. She smiled and congratulated me and asked, “Did your friends participate in the competition What were their positions in the competition ” I was a little annoyed. In fact, I do not even remember who was second and third or who participated. I told her that I was very tired and did not remember everything.
I started noticing a change in my mother, especially her smile. It was not the same lovely smile that I used to see. One day, when I was getting ready for the sports competition, she asked why I was not practicing with my friends. I told her that I was meant to be the first and I had no business to be with friends who are not ambitious. My mother patiently told me that I have forgotten to enjoy the simple little things in life like laughing and smiling, spending time and helping my friends in their difficulty, being their support. She said that a human being becomes a good person not with their success but with the love that he/she shares with one another and by achieving together.

【答案】范文
I was on the track field the next day at school, ready to run the 200m running race. The race began and in no time, I was in lead. Suddenly, I heard my friend fall to the ground. I turned around and saw that he was trying to get on his feet to finish the race. With no second thoughts I ran to him, lifted him and helped him finish the race. The race was over and I wasn’t the winner. But the crowd all stood up and cheered when my friend and I were trying to finish the race.
I realized they were cheering not for the winners but for my friend and me. Believe me I felt like a champion that day. I realized the true meaning of a winner that moment. I helped my friend to sit down and relax and while doing so out of the corner of my eye, I knew there was someone who was looking at me. My eyes turned around to look who it was. It was my mother. Her eyes were filled with tears and there I saw what I have not seen for years. Her heavenly smile and her smile said it all.

The Smile
If there is anything that I could remember distinctly till date in my life, it is my mother’s smile. It was her smile that made me get ready to school, go with confidence to face all my challenges at school and be successful. Her smile did all the magic.
I was in grade 7 and was the topper of my class in academics, sports, speech contests, singing, music…. Friends surrounded me everywhere and I was the star of the school. Everyone who met my parents always had these words to say, “You have a very talented child. You are very lucky.” I was filled with happiness and pride and I knew that I had made my parents very happy.
My ambitions grew and I wanted to have nothing but the best in my life. Things were fine until one day. I came back home with an award I won in the elocution (朗诵) competition at school. Filled with pride, I gave it to my mother and waited for her beautiful smile. She smiled and congratulated me and asked, “Did your friends participate in the competition What were their positions in the competition ” I was a little annoyed. In fact, I do not even remember who was second and third or who participated. I told her that I was very tired and did not remember everything.
I started noticing a change in my mother, especially her smile. It was not the same lovely smile that I used to see. One day, when I was getting ready for the sports competition, she asked why I was not practicing with my friends. I told her that I was meant to be the first and I had no business to be with friends who are not ambitious. My mother patiently told me that I have forgotten to enjoy the simple little things in life like laughing and smiling, spending time and helping my friends in their difficulty, being their support. She said that a human being becomes a good person not with their success but with the love that he/she shares with one another and by achieving together.

Born with a disability in her right leg, Mei faced numerous challenges in her daily life. Regardless, Mei refused to let her disability define her.
From a young age, Mei harbored a deep passion for painting. With the support of her loving family, she transformed her wheelchair into a mobile easel (画架), allowing her to create art wherever she went. Every stroke (笔画) of her brush was like a witness to her growth.
As Mei grew older, her talent attracted the attention of the local community. Encouraged by their support, she decided to pursue her dreams of becoming a professional artist. However, Mei soon encountered doubt from others, even her childhood best friends, who questioned her ability to succeed in the art world.
Instead of backing up, Mei pressed on, expressing her frustration (沮丧) into her artwork. Her paintings were beautiful, reflecting the beauty she saw in the world around her. Through her art, Mei found a sense of purpose, proving to herself and others that disabilities could not put out the fire of creativity.
Eventually, Mei received an invitation to showcase her artwork at Guggenheim Museum in New York. Wild with joy, she was unsure if she was ready to face the judgement of the art world. With the support of her family and friends, Mei decided to seize the opportunity.
The show was a great success. Through Mei’s journey, she was able to reach thousands of other people with disabilities who would benefit from her experience. That’s why she is still pressing on and fighting—not because she’s broken, but because she not only has an opportunity to fully achieve her potentials as a disabled person but also the will to inspire everyone else around her.

Have you ever been somewhere truly free from the sounds of humankind We become immune to the sounds of distant traffic and especially the subtle (不易觉察的) hum of planes high above in the sky, but there are few places that don’t have some form of noise pollution.
Noise pollution is noise that has surpassed surrounding noise levels and has a harmful impact on humans and animals. This type of pollution is generated by humans and is a form of environmental degradation (恶化). It can serve as a source of stress on fauna (动物群), which can have negative effects on animal welfare, and can even cause behavioral changes in birds, according to a study on the impacts of noise pollution on birds.
Noise pollution can be problematic when frequencies that are produced disrupt information transmission in animals, specifically animals that use similar frequencies to communicate. These disturbances can also lead to higher anti-predator behaviors in situations that don’t require it, as well as change species vocalization (发声), increase stress and stress related diseases, and have the potential to decrease populations.
Trees can be used against noise pollution, according to an investigation on the effects of leaves, branches, and canopies (树冠) on noise pollution. By decreasing the area in which noise is made and increasing tree presence with tree belts of at least 12 meters, trees could serve as a noise barrier in urban areas. Another study found that tree belts with a width of 30 meters could be planted on the roadside and have more than 6dB reduction of noise than a grassland would. The conclusion was that more trees, branches, and leaves could reduce noise pollution.
Regulations have also been placed in the US statewide and by local governments to reduce noise pollution. New York, for example, has a regulation that looks at occupational noise exposure; this ranges from monitoring noise to providing personal protective equipment. Many states and local governments in the US have their own regulations regarding noise pollution: however, many focus on the human impacts that noise pollution has and not the environmental impacts.
8. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1
A. Noise pollution widely exists. B. Humans aren’t impacted by noise.
C. It is hard for humans to hear plane noises. D. Lots of places are free from noise pollution.
9. What impact does noise pollution have on animals
A. It can relieve them from stress in life. B. It can cause much trouble to their hearing.
C. It can cause them to behave abnormally. D. It can prevent them from making any sound.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about
A Trees can be used to reduce noise pollution.
B. A study carried out by scientists on noise pollution.
C. The function of leaves, tree branches and canopies.
D. The differences between tree belts and grassland.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The US has spared great efforts to deal with pollution.
B. Different states share the same regulations on in the US.
C. All government levels take pollution seriously in the US.
D. Noise pollution has drawn great attention in the States.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D

What would happen to you if you fell into a black hole Some physicists believe you would burn up the moment you entered one. Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that you would pass through, unaware that you were lost to the rest of the universe.
Black holes have a bottom, but you wouldn’t live to see it. Gravity, as you fell, would grow stronger. The pull on your feet, if you were falling feet first, would be so much greater than the pull on your head that you would be stretched until you were torn apart. But pieces of you would reach the bottom. From there, some physicists believe that those pieces that once were you could end up in another universe.
However, nobody has ever seen or will see a black hole. A black hole is invisible, a blank spot in space, but scientists are able to know its existence by the effect it has on things around it. For example, if an object comes close to a black hole, it should be possible to see the powerful gravity of the black hole trying to pull the object in. In fact, this is exactly what scientists are planning to do: to observe one while it eats a very large object.
The black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is peaceful but is currently pulling a gas cloud toward itself fast. As the gas cloud begins to enter the black hole, telescopes will be able to take a picture of a black hole in action. This will be the best proof so far that black holes certainly exist.
A black hole is an eater. The nearer objects get to it, the hotter they become. Black holes also spin (旋转), and the extreme heat and spinning break up and expel large amounts of matter at extremely high temperatures. This heated matter flies through space, away from the hole at unbelievable speed. It can travel millions of light-years straight through a galaxy. The material then cools, comes together, and eventually forms new stars around the galaxy, thus the birth of new universes.
12. According to paragraph 2, what is the consequence of falling into a black hole
A. Being reduced to pieces. B. Being stretched into a single piece.
C. Being burned in another universe. D. Being pulled to the bottom instantly.
13. Why does the author use the example in paragraph 3
A. To prove that no one can see a black hole.
B. To show that black holes can in fact be detected.
C. To observe while a black hole eats a huge object.
D. To see the powerful gravity a black hole possesses.
14. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in the last paragraph
A. Set up. B. Take in. C. Throw off. D. Call for.
15. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. What a black hole is and its various aspects.
B. Why a black hole is invisible and its final discovery.
C. How a black hole is formed and its unknown mysteries.
D. When a black hole bears a universe and its amazing origin.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A

One day, when I was getting ready for the sports competition, she asked why I was not practicing with my friends. I told her that I was meant to be the first and I had no business to be with friends who are not ambitious. My mother patiently told me that I have forgotten to enjoy the simple little things in life like laughing and smiling, spending time and helping my friends in their difficulty, being their support. She said that a human being becomes a good person not with their success but with the love that he/she shares with one another and by achieving together.

【答案】范文
I was on the track field the next day at school, ready to run the 200m running race. The race began and in no time, I was in lead. Suddenly, I heard my friend fall to the ground. I turned around and saw that he was trying to get on his feet to finish the race. With no second thoughts I ran to him, lifted him and helped him finish the race. The race was over and I wasn’t the winner. But the crowd all stood up and cheered when my friend and I were trying to finish the race.
I realized they were cheering not for the winners but for my friend and me. Believe me I felt like a champion that day. I realized the true meaning of a winner that moment. I helped my friend to sit down and relax and while doing so out of the corner of my eye, I knew there was someone who was looking at me. My eyes turned around to look who it was. It was my mother. Her eyes were filled with tears and there I saw what I have not seen for years. Her heavenly smile and her smile said it all.
