Your heart starts beating before you are born and continues throughout your life. For this reason, the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.InGhana, a country inAfrica, many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending of class. Through the drum, the children ofGhanaalso learn about their history and culture. They hear old stories passed on through the music of the drum. The stories of the drum also teach children games, rules and lessons about behavior.For thousands of years inAfrica, drums have been used to tell stories of daily life and history. Drums told the coming of a king, the start of a war, or the birth of a child. They also allowed people to share messages. But how does a drum tell a story?InWest Africa, the most common drum used for communication is called a “talking drum”. By making higher orlower drum sounds, the drummer can make the drum “talk”.In many African languages, words go up and down in pitch (高音) when they are spoken, almost like a song. Depending on the pitch or tone (音调), the same sound can have many different meanings. For example, when spoken with two low tones, the African word “ilu” means “drum”. When spoken with one high and one low tone, “ilu” means “town”.Drum language works in the same way. Just as in spoken language, the word “ilu” has different meanings depending on how it’s drummed. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using low tones, the word means “drum”. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using one high and one low tone, it means “town”.Drummers create “words” to build ideas, sentences and stories. The next time you hear a song, listen for theheartbeat within the music. Can you hear the story of the drum?4. The first paragraph mainly tells us________.A. drums beat like our heartsB. drums have a long historyC. drums are widely used in the worldD. drums are important for many people worldwide5. From the text, we learn that inGhanadrums________.A. are not as useful as beforeB. teach children a lot of thingsC. help bring the war to an endD. are used in class by teachers6. The example of the African word “ilu” is used to show________.A. how a word can have different soundsB. how to speak African languagesC. how a drum tells storiesD. how to beat a drum7. What would be the best title for the text?A. Know the history of the drumB. Listen to the story of the drumC. Beat the drum of lifeD. Love me, love my drumCEvery racehorse has different abilities．Like humans，some are short- distance runners，while others are marathoners．Figuring out which is which and how to pace them can be the difference between failure in the finish and taking the award home．Jockeys（赛马骑师）and trainers have traditionally relied on centuries of experience and data from previous races to plan their races．Amandine Aftalion，a mathematician in Paris，thought she could add to that．Since 2013，she has been analyzing the performances of world champion runners like Usain Bolt．She has found that short-distance runners tend to win when they start strong and gradually slow down toward the finish line．Butin medium-distance races，runners perform better when they start strong，settle down，and finish with a burst of speed．Her model shows how those winning strategies maximize the energy output of muscles reliant on two different pathways：powerful aerobic（有氧的）ones that require oxygen，which can be in limited supply during a race，and anaerobic ones，which don't need oxygen but build up waste products that lead to tiredness．Aftalion wondered which strategy would be best for horses．So she and Quentin Mercier，anothermathematician，took advantage of a new GPS tracking tool inserted in French racing saddles（马鞍）．The two studied patterns in many races at the Chantilly racetracks north of Paris and developed a model that accounted for winning strategies for three different races：a short one(1，300 meters)，a medium one (1,900 meters)，and a slightly longer one (2,100 meters)，all with different starting points on the same track．The model takes into account not just different race distances，but also the size or friction fromthe track surface．The results might surprise jockeys who hold horses back early for bursts of energy in the last finish．Instead，a strong start leads to a better finish，the team found．“That doesn't mean those jockeys are wrong，though．If the start is too strong，it can bedevastatingas well，leaving the horse tired by the end，” Aftalion says．8. What should a runner do to get an award according to the text?A. Make a good start．B. Plan for the race early．C. Run slowly on the starting line．D. Try runningquickly all the time．9. What formed the basis for Aftalion's studying horse race?A The experience and data from previous horse races．B. The benefit of knowing horses' different abilities．C. The success in studying runners' winning strategies．D. The performance of horses on different race distances．10. What does the underlined word“devastating”in the last paragraph mean?A. Boring．B. Damaging．C. Astonishing．D. Puzling．11. What can we infer from the text?A. Runners have the same energy output of muscles．B. Aftalion's findings may help horses to win the race．C. What Jockeys and trainers do makes no sense to horses．D. World champion runners made a contribution to the study．DIt’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said ina speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD and medical degree.12. What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. instant passion.B. continuous efforts.C. great patience.D. selfless ambitions.13. How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?A. Sad and disappointed.B. Stressed and defeated.C. Determined and confident.D. Joyous and contented.14. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience?A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses.C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.D. She gained remarkable high school achievement.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. From Homeless to YaleB. Meet American’s Top GirlC. Disabled but not DefeatedD.

W a l k i n g i n t o t h e b u i l d i n g,Ijust felt excited, looking forward to what I was going to find outin the visit, something I would like to share with my beloved husband when I got home.Just as I walked past the Chinese Antique Porcelain section, one c o l l e c t i o n c a u g h t m y e y e sand heart very much: a Chinese plate with a drawing of a garden sce ne with two ladies, a child, a dog and a willow, very beautiful and unique. It reminded me that my mum used to have a similar plate like that;of course it was not from the Ming Dynasty, but we had pl a t e s a n d b o w l s o f a similar design, following and serving us for many years.I still remember every day mum was busy cooking for eight of us.W h i l e w a i t i n g f o r t h e dinner to be ready, we would play in the garden, jumping up and dow n, with the family dogs and cats also running around. When the dinne r w a s r e a d y,w e a l l r a n o v e r t o t h e b i g r o u n d t a b l e, everyone holding a bowl with rice, and chopsticks, getting ready to f i g h t f o r t h e f o o d o n t h e t a b l e. My mum normally would prepare five or six dishes served with those b e a u t i f u l C h i n e s e p l a t e s.The noises of chatting mixed with the warm heat, sweat, and wind blo wing would slowly accompanythe sun setting down. The pleasant evening would come and purple and blue colored the sky. Mum’s face was full of shine and happiness; she loved to see us finish all her dishes. She would always be the last person to eat, and basically the last to clear the leftovers. Mum always put herself last and the children first. Then I moved away and lived so far from her, but the food that she prepared always stays in my heart, and I always remember the beautiful Chinese plates.Plates for many people can be just tools to serve food, nothing m o r e t h a n t h a t.B u t f o r m e t h e yare not plates, for me they are a memory.25.Why did the Chinese plate in the Museum draw the author’s attention?A. Because its pattern and design were elegant.B. Because it called up her previous experience.C. Because she could share it with her husband.D. Because she remembered Mum had the same plate.26. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?A. She didn’t want to help her mother cook dinner.B. She used to fight against her family for more food.C. Her family enjoyed a warm and happy dinner atmosphere.D. Her mum would serve precious dishes with Chinese plates.27. How does the author sound while telling the story?A. Touched.B. Excited.C. Pleased.D. Encouraged.CIt’s c old and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill（跑步机）,burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate（调节）its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust（尾气）,and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.28.How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?A.They can run more slowly.B. They can take in more calories.C. Their hearts can function harder.D. Their body temperature can get lower.29. How does summer affect runners?A. It builds up their energy quickly.B. It makes runners tired easily.C. It lessens runne rs’ stress.D. It causes heart attacks.30. What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A. Stop driving cars.B. Do more exercise.C. Avoid outdoor exercise.D. Run late in the morning.31. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Refresh with a Winter RunB. Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC. Go to Run in a ParkD. Follow the Tips to Reduce StressDTea，the most typical English drink，became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess，Catherine of Braganza，the queen of Charles II．As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal，she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the beverage in the 17th century．The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes，and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day．Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning，thus inventing a lasting British institution，the“tea break．”However，drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people．It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well．Around 1800，the seventh Duchess of Bedford，Anne Maria，began the popular practice of“afternoon tea，”a ceremony taking place at about four o’clock．Until then，people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner．At approximately the same time，the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread—in thin slices, with something like jam or cucumbers between them．Before long，a small meal at the end of the afternoon，involving tea and sandwiches, became part of the British way of life．As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century, its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society. Thus, tea became Britain’s favorite drink. In working-class households，it was served with the main meal of the day，eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labor．This meal has become known as“high tea．”Today，tea can be drunk at any time of the day，and accounts for over two-fifths of all drinks consumed in Britain---with the exception of water．32．What is mainly discussed about tea in the text?A．Its development in Britain．B．Its traditional ways ofdrinking．C．Its influence around the world．D．Its popularity in Europe．33．What does the underlined words“the beverage”probably refer to?A．Tea drinking．B．A small meal．C．A way of eating bread．D．A choice of drinks．34．Why was tea unable to be accepted as a common drink in Britain in the 17th century?A．It was merely served in London．B．It was taxed as an alcoholic drink．C．It was forbidden in business settings．D．It was too expensive for most people．35．How is the text organized?A．By cause and effect．B．By comparison．C．In time order．D．In frequency order．.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

One of the most significant changes has been the shift to remote work, which has become a permanent fixture in many industries. This shift has brought both challenges and opportunities. Here is a look at how remote work is transforming the modern workplace.Paragraph 1:Remote work allows employees to enjoy a better work-life balance. With the flexibility to work from home, employees can reduce their commuting time and save on transportation costs. Additionally, working from home can provide a more comfortable and personalized work environment, which can lead to increased productivity.Paragraph 2:However, remote work also poses several challenges. One of the main concerns is the potential for decreased communication and collaboration among team members. Without face-to-face interactions, it can be more difficult to build trust and maintain a strong team dynamic. Moreover, remote workers may struggle with maintaining a consistent work schedule and managing distractions at home.Paragraph 3:To mitigate these challenges, companies are implementing various strategies.Some organizations are investing in video conferencing tools to facilitate regular team meetings and ensure that everyone stays connected. Others are providing training and support to help employees develop effective remote work habits. Additionally, many companies are reevaluating their performance metrics to focus more on outcomes rather than the number of hours worked.Paragraph 4:The rise of remote work has also led to a shift in the traditional office space. Many companies are downsizing their office spaces or even closing them altogether, as they realize that employees can be just as productive from home. This shift has resulted in significant cost savings for businesses and has also reduced the carbon footprint associated with commuting.Questions:1、What is one of the benefits of remote work mentioned in the passage?A. Increased communication among team members.B. Reduced commuting time and transportation costs.C. Higher productivity due to a more comfortable work environment.D.

Another study, conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), showed that meditation can alter the brain’s structure, making it more adaptable to stress.One of the most common types of meditation is mindfulness meditation, which involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. This form of meditation can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, leading to better mental health.Below is a short excerpt from a mindfulness meditation session:“Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. Hold it for a moment. Now, exhale slowly. As you breathe, notice the sensation of the air entering and leaving your body. Feel the rise and fall of your chest. With each breath, let go of any tension you may be holding. Focus on the present moment, on the sounds around you, the feel of your clothing, the temperature of the air. Do not judge these experiences; simply observe them. Continue to breathe deeply and slowly, allowing yourself to become fully present in this moment.”Questions:1.What is the primary purpose of meditation according to the passage?A) To improve concentrationB) To reduce stressC) To increase self-awarenessD) To enhance physical strength2.Which of the following benefits of meditation is mentioned in the passage?A) Increased muscle massB) Reduced stress levelsC) Improved cardiovascular healthD) Enhanced immune system3.What is the main focus of mindfulness meditation?A) To control the mind’s thoughtsB) To become more aware of the present momentC) To visualize positive outcomesD) To practice deep breathing exercises4.According to the passage, how can meditation alter the brain’s structure?A) By increasing the size of the brainB) By making it more adaptable to stressC) By reducing the size of the prefrontal cortexD) By increasing the amount of gray matter5.What is the main activity described in the meditation excerpt?A) Mindfulness meditationB) Physical exerciseC) Breathing exercisesD) Guided imageryAnswers:1.B2.B3.B4.B5.A五、语言运用第一节 _ 完形填空（15分）Passage:After years of hard work, John finally graduated from university and secured a job as an engineer at a prestigious company.

This movement encourages individuals to take a break from the fast-paced world and focus on the present moment. By slowing down, people can appreciate the beauty of nature, enjoy simple pleasures, and build stronger relationships with family and friends.One of the main reasons for the rise of slow living is the increasing awareness of the negative impacts of a fast-paced lifestyle. Stress, burnout, and mental health issues are on the rise, and many people are looking for ways to reduce their stress levels and improve their well-being. Slow living offers a solution by promoting activities such as mindfulness, exercise, and spending time in nature.Moreover, slow living is not just about reducing our pace but also about consuming less and living more sustainably. It encourages us to buy local, support small businesses, and reduce our carbon footprint. This shift in mindset has a positive impact on the environment and helps create a more sustainable future.Many people have already embraced the slow living philosophy and have seen significant improvements in their lives. For example, Sarah, a 35-year-old lawyer, decided to leave her stressful job and start her own business. She now spends more time with her family, practices yoga, and takes long walks in thecountryside. “I’ve never felt so relaxed and happy,” she says.However, the transition to slow living can be challenging for some. It requires a co nscious effort to change habits and prioritize what’s truly important. But with determination and patience, anyone can adopt a slower, more fulfilling lifestyle.语法填空题目：61.In recent years, the concept of “slow living” has [] popularity among people seeking a more balanced and fulfilling life.A. gainedB. gained inC. gained fromD. gained on答案：B. gained in七、写作第一节 _ 应用文写作（15分）Writing Section 1: Application WritingTask:Write a letter to the editor of your school newspaper expressing your concerns about the recent increase in littering around the school campus.

W a l k i n g i n t o t h e b u i l d i n g,Ijust felt excited, looking forward to what I was going to find outin the visit, something I would like to share with my beloved husband when I got home.Just as I walked past the Chinese Antique Porcelain section, one c o l l e c t i o n c a u g h t m y e y e sand heart very much: a Chinese plate with a drawing of a garden sce ne with two ladies, a child, a dog and a willow, very beautiful and unique. It reminded me that my mum used to have a similar plate like that;of course it was not from the Ming Dynasty, but we had pl a t e s a n d b o w l s o f a similar design, following and serving us for many years.I still remember every day mum was busy cooking for eight of us.W h i l e w a i t i n g f o r t h e dinner to be ready, we would play in the garden, jumping up and dow n, with the family dogs and cats also running around. When the dinne r w a s r e a d y,w e a l l r a n o v e r t o t h e b i g r o u n d t a b l e, everyone holding a bowl with rice, and chopsticks, getting ready to f i g h t f o r t h e f o o d o n t h e t a b l e. My mum normally would prepare five or six dishes served with those b e a u t i f u l C h i n e s e p l a t e s.The noises of chatting mixed with the warm heat, sweat, and wind blo wing would slowly accompanythe sun setting down. The pleasant evening would come and purple and blue colored the sky. Mum’s face was full of shine and happiness; she loved to see us finish all her dishes. She would always be the last person to eat, and basically the last to clear the leftovers. Mum always put herself last and the children first. Then I moved away and lived so far from her, but the food that she prepared always stays in my heart, and I always remember the beautiful Chinese plates.Plates for many people can be just tools to serve food, nothing m o r e t h a n t h a t.B u t f o r m e t h e yare not plates, for me they are a memory.25.Why did the Chinese plate in the Museum draw the author’s attention?A. Because its pattern and design were elegant.B. Because it called up her previous experience.C. Because she could share it with her husband.D. Because she remembered Mum had the same plate.26.

Her family enjoyed a warm and happy dinner atmosphere.D. Her mum would serve precious dishes with Chinese plates.27. How does the author sound while telling the story?A. Touched.B. Excited.C. Pleased.D. Encouraged.CIt’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Goingfor a runseems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth givingthat crazy idea a go.According to The HuffingtonPost, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on atreadmill（跑步机）,burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate （调节）itscore temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than inwarmer temperaturesand quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makesthe heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle evenstronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression thatbuild up every day. The heat and humidity insummer can drag you down and tire youfaster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feelalive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise.Heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combinationof air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside onsmoggy days, take a path ina park or residential area to avoid car exhaust（尾气）,and go earlyin the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the nextclear day to run is best.28.How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?A.They can run more slowly.B. They can take in more calories.C. Their hearts can function harder.D. Their body temperature can get lower.29. How does summer affect runners?A. It builds up their energy quickly.B. It makes runners tired easily.C. It lessens runners’stress.D. It causes heart attacks.30. What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A. Stop driving cars.B. Do more exercise.C. Avoid outdoor exercise.D. Run late in the morning.31. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Refresh with a Winter RunB. Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC. Go to Run in a ParkD. Follow the Tips to Reduce StressDTea，the most typical English drink，became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess，Catherine of Braganza，the queen of Charles II．As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal，she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for thebeverage in the 17th century．The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes，and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day．Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning，thus inventing a lasting British institution，the“tea break．”However，drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people．It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well．Around 1800，the seventh Duchess of Bedford，Anne Maria，began the popular practice of“afternoon tea，”a ceremony taking place at about four o’clock．Until then，people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner．At approximately the same time，the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread—in thin slices, with something like jam or cucumbers between them．Before long，a small meal at the end of the afternoon，involving tea and sandwiches, became part of the British way of life．As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century, its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society. Thus, tea became Britain’s favorite drink. In working-class households，it was served with the main meal of the day，eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labor．This meal has become known as“high tea．”Today，tea can be drunk at any time of the day，and accounts for over two-fifths of all drinks consumed in Britain---with the exception of water．32．What is mainly discussed about tea in the text?A．Its development in Britain．B．Its traditional ways of drinking．C．Its influence around the world．D．Its popularity inEurope．33．What does the underlined words“the beverage”probably refer to?A．Tea drinking．B．A small meal．C．A way of eating bread．D．A choice of drinks．34．Why was tea unable to be accepted as a common drink in Britain in the 17th century?A．It was merely served in London．B．It was taxed as an alcoholic drink．C．It was forbidden in business settings．D．It was too expensive for most people．35．How is the text organized?A．By cause and effect．B．By comparison．C．In time order．D．In frequency order．.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
