第一节
Dear Kevin,
Hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to express my gratitude for your fascinating lecture on music last Friday. It
was truly an enlightening experience!
My biggest takeaway is how music reflects cultural identities— though a universal language, music embodies great
diversity, from the unique rhythms of African drumming to the melodious tune of Chinese Guzheng. Your passion also
inspires me to explore more of the world’s music and impresses on me the power music holds in connecting people across
borders.
Thanks again and I’m looking forward to attending more of your lectures and learning from your expertise.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
When Donna told the news to Troy’s family, everyone was surprised. They could hardly believe that their beloved
teacher was willing to go through such a personal sacrifice for them. This being a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for
the mother, all the family couldn’t thank Donna enough for her kindness and compassion. Troy’s mother was deeply
moved by Donna’s selflessness and generosity, and at the same time, the prospect of healing brought renewed hope
and joy into their lives, especially for Troy, who felt a glimmer of happiness return.
Soon the kidney transplant took place. The operation was a success, and Troy’s mom began to recover with the
new kidney functioning well. As she started to get healthier and more energetic, the family’s burden was eased. Seeing
his mother regain her strength, Troy felt spirits improved significantly. He became active in class once again, engaging
eagerly with his peers and teachers. The change was evident in his bright eyes and enthusiastic participation. Donna’s
loving support not only impacted Troy’s academic performance but also helped save his mother’s life, forever
changing the course of their family’s journey.

(Text 1)
M: Could you start wrapping the cups
W: Sure. Have you packed up the books
M: Oh, soon. I just finished these pots.
(Text 2)
M: Is this the book you’re looking for I found it in the classroom.
W: No, I think I left mine in the cafeteria.
M: But you checked the table before we left.
W: Oh, I just remembered I was reading it in bed before I went to sleep last night.
(Text 3)
W: How much did you pay for those sunglasses
M: The original price was $200, but they were on sale, so I got 30% off. Not bad!
(Text 4)
M: Where are the files for the Brookfield account, Sarah
W: I haven’t seen them, but you might want to ask someone in the record office. I’d call Janet or Sam if I were you.
M: Hmm, I don’t know Janet, but Sam is always helpful.
(Text 5)
W: You grew up speaking two languages, didn’t you
M: Not exactly, I didn’t learn French till we moved to Paris when I was five.
W: So, you spoke German and French when you were five
M: Yeah, and then my parents sent me to an English school.
(Text 6)
W: We are a software company, and for this position, we are looking for someone good at making a sale.
M: That shouldn’t be a problem. Though graduating in engineering, I have over 20 years of sales experience.
W: Very impressive. Are you good at speaking in front of crowds
M: I once spoke in front of 40 people and had no problems then. I am actually excited to speak in front of so many people.
W: Glad to hear that.
(Text 7)
M: Annabelle, you saw ASecret Place the other day, didn’t you
W: I did. Interesting, but the plot’s very inconsistent — it falls apart here and there.
M: There isn’t a line you can follow all the way through. I can see what the director is trying to do — it contains too many

details, but it just doesn’t come off.
W: Well, it’s a brave attempt. But I still prefer the original novel.
M: Same here. What do you think of the ending
W: I’d have enjoyed it more if it hadn’t been for that powerful rock music, which was obviously supposed to emphasize
what was happening on screen. But I still came close to crying for that final three minutes.
(Text 8)
M: Hi. I bought the laptop here just about a month ago, and now I can’t turn it on.
W: May I ask what happened
M: I accidentally dropped it.
W: Oh, no wonder it can’t respond.
M: Now, I’d like to return it and purchase another model. Here’s my receipt.
W: I’m sorry, but you bought the laptop over 30 days ago, so we can’t refund your money.
M: Is there anything I can do at this point
W: Well, you could send it to the factory. Since the laptop was bought less than a year ago, they can repair it for free. And
they offer half price if you want to exchange it for a new one.
M: That’s good. How can I reach them
W: Let me give you their phone number. You can also make a request online, but I’m not sure you can do that. You don’t
have access to the Internet, am I right
M: Yeah, you’re right.
(Text 9)
M: In today’s program, I’m with Sheila Forbes, a sports psychologist who helps professional footballers prepare mentally
for their performances. Welcome, Sheila.
W: Thank you.
M: So Sheila, how would you define your role
W: Basically, I have to make sure they understand what I do and show them what they’ll get out of it. I train them how to
structure their thinking, to be more confident about themselves, and not to be influenced by the apparent confidence of
opposing players.
M: So what does a sports psychologist need
W: Well, I’ve worked in various sports, none of which I’ve ever performed in. What is needed, though, is that you
understand the mental demands of those sports, and are able to adapt in your work. But if you’re not honest to your
clients about what you realistically can and can’t do, you won’t progress very far.
M: Is there anything you dislike about the job
W: Well, some people suggest that we are simply doing this for financial gain and realistically can’t help top sports people
improve in their game. But all we’re doing is ensuring that athletes achieve a consistently high level of performance.
There’s a constant shift in environments, but I find that the techniques you learn are highly adaptable, as long as you’re
creative enough to do that.

When she was 61, Sian Davies decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean. In March 2021, she was one of the 12 crew members who set out on the 3,000-mile journey from Tenerife to battle sun, salt and fierce currents. “We would row in three-hour shifts and only sleep for an hour or so every six hours,” she says. “For the first 15 days, I was seasick, so I hardly ate anything. I was just rowing and collapsing. I went through some pretty dark times.”
But after 42 days on the water, Davies reached Antigua to become one of the only six women in the world over the age of 60 to have rowed across an ocean. “I was exhausted and I was also so proud of myself,” she says.
Davies began rowing when she was 53, after spotting a six-oar（桨）rowing boat in Bristol harbor. Attracted by its size and appearance, she spoke to the crew and was encouraged to do a trial run. “As soon as I got on the water, I fell in love with it,” she says. “Feeling your whole body working and the fresh air on your skin is amazing.”
It wasn’t until 2017, though, that her Atlantic plans were born. Suffering from a herniated disc（椎间盘突出）, she was only able to crawl out of bed. “I began thinking of things I could look forward to after I had surgery,” she says. “One day I was reading about women adventurers when it hit me that once better, I would row across an ocean.”
After successful surgery, Davies began driving to meet other women who had undertaken rows. Hearing the experiences and advice of them gave Davies the confidence. Soon after, she heard that a new boat producer was organizing a team for a voyage across the Atlantic and she joined it immediately.
“In June, I’m planning to break a few world records by rowing around the UK when I’m 64, and I want to motorcycle through the Himalayas later in the year. After all, we need things to look back on.”she says.
24. What do we know about Davies’ journey across the Atlantic
A. She fell apart and abandoned the task.
B. She suffered a lot during the process.
C. She was the oldest woman to finish it.
D. She rowed along with six other women.
25. How did Davies feel about her first attempt to row
A. Painful. B. Frightened.
C. Confident. D. Impressed.
26. What inspired Davies to row across an ocean
A. A trial row on a six-oar rowing boat.
B. Support from a boat company.
C. Stories of some women adventurers.
D. Sufferings from her back pain.
27. Which of the following best describes Davies
A. Caring and open-minded. B. Humble and self-motivated.
C. Determined and easy-going. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.

Hummingbirds are small birds but they’re the Olympic gymnasts of the flying world. They have strongly muscled bodies and rather long wings. They fly around at remarkable speeds and fly in all directions, including backward and upside down.
To achieve such agillity（敏捷）, hummingbirds use distinct modes of visual processing to control different types of flight. Their brains can make rapid transitions from visual signals to motor outputs. They take in lots of complicated visual information and make a flight plan out of that. Recently, the researchers have uncovered a unique mode that guides hummingbirds’ speed when they are flying forward.
The findings come from an experiment of more than 3,500 hummingbird flights inside a 12-foot-long tunnel（通道） with a branch at one end and a feeder at the other. Moving light patterns cast on the tunnel walls influence how the hummingbirds see things while flying.
The researchers expected that if the hummingbirds were using visual clues to control their forward flight speed, they would see the birds speed or slow with lights cast on the side walls. But instead, it seemed that they had their own way of knowing how fast to go for forward flight. When moving up or down, however, the birds based their motor commands on the cast light patterns they saw.
This special ability helps hummingbirds fly safely and quickly. This knowledge could be useful for improving drone（无人机）technology, helping engineers develop better ways for drones to predict and respond to changes in their surroundings. “If we can develop a mathematical model for this visual processing, it could be very useful for drones.” says Bo Cheng, a mechanical engineer, at Pennsylvania State University.
28. What contributes most to hummingbirds’ agility in flight
A. Their small size and light body.
B. Their strong muscles and long wings.
C. Their strong sense of direction.
D. Their own way to handle what they see.
29. How did the researchers test the hummingbirds’ response
A. By placing barriers in the tunnel.
B. By changing the position of the feeder.
C. By projecting moving light patterns.
D. By adjusting the brightness of the tunnel.
30. What did the researchers think of hummingbirds’ reaction
A. Surprising. B. Discouraging.
C. Satisfactory. D. Amusing.
31. Which field is more likely to benefit from the research
A. Wild bird protection. B. Math-based game design.
C. Behavioral and brain science. D. Bio-inspired technology application.
D
Sensory-based food education given to 3-5 year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland.
The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children in hands-on sessions, they can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities for growing their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games.
“There are several different ways to do this. However, it always starts from sensory-based learning and child engagement. Doing and experiencing things together is also an important aspect,” says Kaisa K hk nen, a researcher and nutritionist from the University of Eastern Finland.
The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren’t. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items.
The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose mothers have a lower educational background. On average, children of lower educated parents tend to eat less vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help even out dietary gap between families.
“Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encouraged children who were picky eaters to choose a more diverse selection on their plate,” K hk nen explains.
Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a direction that is beneficial for health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all the way to adolescence and adulthood.
32. What can we know about the Sapere method
A. It improves kids’ five senses.
B. It enables kids to read more books.
C. It supplies various healthy food to kids.
D. It involves kids in active food-related activities.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The research purpose. B. The research process.
C. The research findings. D. The research evaluation.
34. What does the underlined part “even out” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Narrow. B. Identify.
C. Analyze. D. Examine.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A. Benefits of eating fruit and vegetables.
B. Differences in family dietary preferences.
C. Necessity for kids to form learning habits.
D. New method to promote kids’ healthy eating.

Loud noise can be very damaging to your hearing, whether it’s a loud burst or years of exposure. Approximately 15 percent of adults 18 years of age or older report some trouble hearing. 36 The good news is that taking action now may protect you from hearing loss later in life.
Get a baseline hearing test. Most people have never had a hearing test. 37 At your next physical, ask for a hearing test as part of your routine checkup. A hearing test gives your audiologist a baseline that they can compare with future results to monitor the progression of hearing loss.
38 While you are watching TV or using mobile devices, keep the volume at a comfortable level. It should be loud enough to make sure you can hear very well, but not so loud that when you leave the room, you can still hear it from another part of your home.
Wear protective hearing devices. Think ear protection before you’re exposed to any noisy environment, such as rock concerts or airports. When you are in a noisy environment, wear protective hearing devices such as earplugs or protective earphones. 39
Have proper earphones. If you often listen to music on earphones using a portable music or video device, it’s a good idea to have earphones that fit the unique shape of your ear canal, and block outside noise. 40
A. The risk rises as we age.
B. Monitor the volume of your devices.
C. However, it benefits you to go against that trend.
D. Meanwhile, you will find the sound truly superior.
E. You can find them at your local drugstore or music supply shop.
F. Think about buying appliances and devices that have low noise ratings.
G. You must do something to keep age-related hearing loss from getting worse.

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。
Teachers are a gift, especially Troy’s teacher, Donna. She always goes above and beyond for her students, but what she did for Troy’s family is truly beyond selflessness but a miracle（奇迹）.
Donna is one of those teachers who pay close attention to the students in their classroom. She began to notice something odd in one of her elementary students, Troy. He was not active in class like he had been. Troy used to be a passionate student in class, engaging with teachers and his friends. Being a helping hand to the teacher and classmates, Troy was always welcomed by everybody. However, he was all of a sudden so shut down and his behavior was simply not the same. He seemed to be silent all the time, and his eyes lost light of desire for knowledge and passion for any activities. Donna grew very concerned and wondered if there was something going on that affected his performance at school. So, she reached out to Troy’s mom to express her concerns.
And that was when she discovered something wrong. For the past year, his mom had been in stage-five kidney（肾）failure. She was in pain every day and desperately needed a new kidney. But she had a rare blood type, so finding a match for a kidney transplant was virtually impossible. Her condition had been a very long and anxious journey. It had been so painful for the family, and it had definitely made an impact on Troy. And in class, he had been silently carrying the pain his mom was going through at home.
The news broke Donna’s heart. She knew that she just had to do something. She was there as a loving friend to help Troy with his studies, but she was also there for his mom. Donna researched how to become a kidney donor and discovered that she had the same rare blood type as Troy’s mom. She got tested and, surprisingly, she was a match.
注意：
