Like most foreigners from English-speaking countries, Holt’s first job in China was teaching English in training centers and middle schools. Since November, 2021, he has been a teacher at New Channel, a Beijing-based language training institute. “I teach them theater,” he said.
Holt was very shy as a kid. In the first grade, he was invited to “star” in Romeo and Juliet. He declined. But his teacher insisted on giving him the biggest part. “He gave me the power to empower (给予力量) myself,” Holt explained. He intended to pass on that same feeling. So he studied theater and education at the Evergreen State College in the US, and then went to Asia, first the Republic of Korea, then China.
“Teaching theater and public speaking in China is wonderful, “he said. Training aside, he and his colleagues also adapt Chinese stories, like The Monkey King, into English screenplays for students. “Children literally want to be as dramatic as possible instead of just reciting words,” he said.
But teaching is not all it’s cracked up to be. “The biggest challenge is to get the introverted (内向的) kids-or adults-to speak up,” Holt added. Making the shyest kid the director is one of his methods to build them up. And the change with them is noticeable: students who’d barely utter a word before end up being the loudest person in the room. “I love to see that turnaround,” Holt said.
His future plan is to get as many children as possible to feel more empowered, and “make theater a little bridge” between China and other countries.
Art makes for a universal conversation start. Despite disagreements among different countries, people from different countries can get along well through art. “I think it’s a really powerful thing that we can all share.” he said.
4. How did Holt react when invited to “star” in Romeo and Juliet?
A. He didn’t show interest in the least.
B. He turned it down owing to shyness.
C. He joined in without any hesitation.
D. He wondered if he could play the role.
5. Which of the following does Holt want to convey about theatre?
A. It can give shy children power to speak up.
B. It can remove all barriers between cultures.
C. It can help children overcome any challenge.
D. It can change conventional teaching methods.
6. What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean?
A. Makes up. B. Contributes to.
C. Takes over. D. Breaks down.
7. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Art appeals to kids in China
B. Theater is to be a trend in teaching
C. Art builds a cultural bridge
D. Theater will make all kids love art
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Holt学习戏剧的经历和在中国教授艺术的故事，表达了他希望用艺术为两国文化交流建立沟通的愿望和决心。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段前三句“Holt was very shy as a kid. In the first grade, he was invited to “star” in Romeo and Juliet. He declined. ”（Holt 还是个孩子的时候很害羞。在一年级的时候，他被邀请主演戏剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。他拒绝了。）可知，Holt被邀请出演《罗密欧与朱丽叶》时他的反应是：由于害羞，他拒绝了。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““He gave me the power to empower (给予力量) myself,” Holt explained. He intended to pass on that same feeling. ”（“他给了我力量，让我给予自己力量。”Holt 解释道。他打算把这种情感传递下去。）可知，他在没参加戏剧之前是害羞的，因为他参加了戏剧之后他感受到自己内在的力量，他变得不在害羞，可推断出戏剧给害羞的孩子力量让他们可以大声表达自我。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Art makes for a universal conversation start. Despite disagreements among different countries, people from different countries can get along well through art.”（艺术makes for一种普遍对话的开始。尽管不同国家间存在争议，然而来自不同国家的人通过艺术可以相处融洽。）可知，艺术可以让不同国家的人们进行沟通，推断出艺术有助于通用对话的开始，make for意为“有助于”，符合句意。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据前四段关于对Holt学习戏剧和在中国教授戏剧的经历的描述，结合最后两段Holt对于艺术在跨国文化交流上所做贡献的肯定，可概括出本文主要表达的是艺术在文化交流上的重要作用，C项“艺术架起文化桥梁”。故选C项。

Deep in the British Library lie the priceless treasures for pop music lovers. Housed across the main building in St Pancras and the Library’s Boston Spa site are more than 350,000 CDs and 250,000LPs (密文唱片) ,as well as around a quarter of a million 78 RPM discs and countless cassette tapes.
Andy Linehan, the Library’s Curator (馆长) of Popular Music Collections, feels he and his team are not only preserving pop, but they’re also honoring history.“One of the British’s Library’s functions is to be the cultural memory of the nation. We do that with books, journals and newspapers and it’s absolutely right that we should also do it with music,“ he said.
The treasures in the British Library rely on donations from record labels, artists and members of the public. As Andy noted,“If you publish a book, newspaper or magazine in the UK, you’re legally obliged to send a copy to the British Library, but that law does not apply to sound recordings.”
Among the treasures are an early voice recording of Florence Nightingale and a cassette tape that was sold at gigs (现场演唱会) in the early1980s by a sixth-form band called On A Friday. There are also old blues, rare LPs from the 1950s and promotional copies of Beatles singles that only had a couple of hundred pressings.
When it comes to preservation, the team is tirelessly transferring music from media that’s vulnerable and digitising (数字化) it for generations to come.“If anyone can save anything from an old tape which is not in very good condition, it’s our engineers. Because they have equipment and know how to play back everything,“ Andy explained.
Private companies and specialists record labels are also trying their best to ensure music is safeguarded for generations to come. Iron Mountain Entertainment Service offers digital transfer and preservation services for music as well as other media. Cherry Red Records Chairman, Iain McNay, said,“It’s about looking after all that material and letting it see the light of day. We’re music fans who are also protectors.”
8. What can we learn about the treasures from paragraph 1?
A. The number is incredibly large.
B. They are all donations from people.
C. They represent different times.
D. They are not open to the public yet.
9. What does Andy think of music preservation?
A. It is technically demanding.
B. It is significant in the long term.
C. It is commercially beneficial.
D. It can boost music composition.
10. Why is“copies of Beatles singles” mentioned in paragraph4?
A. To emphasize the popularity of the band.
B. To reflect the varieties of the collections.
C. To indicate the great value of the treasures.
D. To convey the urgency of music protection.
11. Where does the true value of the preservation lie?
A. It can arouse people’s interest in pop music.
B. It can encourage more people to contribute.
C. It will develop the music industry in Britain.
D. It will be the cultural memory of generations.

Mushrooms on a log may each seem like quiet, separate organisms, but they are actually the above-ground fruit belonging to a fungus (真菌)，connected to the large organism by a root network called mycelium (菌丝). Although mushrooms may not seem very talkative either, a new study shows electrical signals travelling through their mycelium network could help the organism communicate.
According to the research, some mushrooms can use electrical impulse (脉冲) to share and process information in their body. When signal activity increases, it creates complicated patterns that may function like words in human speech.
Previous research has found that mushrooms can send electrical signals underground through long, thread-like structures, which expand to form a network of mycelium. It works like nerve cells that send signals to other parts of the human body. Some studies have shown that electrical activity will increase when the mycelium of wood-digesting mushrooms touches blocks, which may indicate that mushrooms can use these impulses to share information about food or injury.
In the new study, four species were analyzed. Researchers listened to the mushrooms’ chat using tiny electrodes (电极) connected to mycelium to measure the power in signal activity. Each result in the activity was organized into several groups and given a linguistic (语言的) and information complexity analysis. The power varied in duration and length, with some lasting up to 21 hours. The electrical points resembled a human vocabulary of up to 50 words. However, only 15 to 20 mushrooms’ words are used frequently.
Mushrooms’ words are also similar in length to human words. The mushroom’s word length averaged over the four species is 5.97, which is of the same range as an average word length in some human languages. For instance, it is 4.8 in English and 6 in Russian.
While the research shows mushrooms can produce patterns of electrical signals, there’s no way to tell what they are talking about, if they are at all. Though comparing the mushroom’s electrical signals to human speech is interesting and notable, some researchers are doubtful. “Though interesting, the interpretation as language seems somewhat overenthusiastic and requires more research,” says Dan Bebber from the University of Exeter.
12. How do mushrooms communicate according to the research?
A. Through their mycelium.
B. Through their nerve cells.
C. Through electrical signals.
D. Through the root network.
13. What do the studies suggest about mushroom communication?
A. It is similar to human speech in several aspects.
B. It is far too complicated to understand anything.
C. It is not impulses that they use to communicate.
D. It is easy to tell the exact information they share.
14. What does Dan Bebber think of “the interpretation as language”?
A. It is simply unquestionable.
B. It is definitely contradictory.
C It is absolutely groundless.
D. It is not convincing enough.
15. Which magazine is the text probably taken from?
A. Health Guide. B. Science World.
C. Travel Journal. D. Business Week.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，蘑菇能够通过电信号交流沟通。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Although mushrooms may not seem very talkative either, a new study shows electrical signals travelling through their mycelium network could help the organism communicate.(虽然蘑菇看起来也不太会说话，但一项新的研究表明，通过菌丝体网络传播的电信号可以帮助生物体交流)”可知，根据这项研究，蘑菇是通过电信号交流的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“When signal activity increases, it creates complicated patterns that may function like words in human speech.(当信号活动增加时，它会产生复杂的模式，其功能可能类似于人类语言中的单词)”和第三段中“It works like nerve cells that send signals to other parts of the human body.(它的工作原理类似于神经细胞，将信号发送到人体的其他部位)”以及倒数第二段中“Mushrooms’ words are also similar in length to human words.(蘑菇的单词在长度上也与人类单词相似)”可推知，关于蘑菇的交流，这些研究表明了它在几个方面与人类语言相似。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Though comparing the mushroom’s electrical signals to human speech is interesting and notable, some researchers are doubtful. “Though interesting, the interpretation as language seems somewhat overenthusiastic and requires more research.” says Dan Bebber from the University of Exeter.(尽管将蘑菇的电信号与人类语言进行比较是有趣而引人注目的，但一些研究人员对此表示怀疑。埃克塞特大学的丹·贝伯(Dan Bebber)说：“虽然很有趣，但把它解释为语言似乎有些过于热情，需要更多的研究。”)”可推知，丹·贝伯认为把它解释为语言是不够有说服力的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Although mushrooms may not seem very talkative either, a new study shows electrical signals travelling through their mycelium network could help the organism communicate.(虽然蘑菇看起来也不太会说话，但一项新的研究表明，通过菌丝体网络传播的电信号可以帮助生物体交流)”以及最后一段“Though comparing the mushroom’s electrical signals to human speech is interesting and notable, some researchers are doubtful. “Though interesting, the interpretation as language seems somewhat overenthusiastic and requires more research.” says Dan Bebber from the University of Exeter.(尽管将蘑菇的电信号与人类语言进行比较是有趣而引人注目的，但一些研究人员对此表示怀疑。埃克塞特大学的丹·贝伯(Dan Bebber)说：“虽然很有趣，但把它解释为语言似乎有些过于热情，需要更多的研究。”)”可知，本文主要讲述了一项新的研究，蘑菇能够通过电信号交流沟通，是和科学有关。所以可推知能在“Science World”上看到本文。故选B项。
第二节(共5个小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
Efficient ways to improve your speech
Find it difficult to make a wonderful speech in public? ___16___
Use more facial expressions
One psychologist feels that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us. A smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative. ___17___ People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about a topic or an idea through your facial expression.
Get rid of your inner fear
___18___ The way to handle it is to put it to work for you, get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear. The first is to admit it. Do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself. Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin, is to take a few deep breaths. This will help get the butterflies in formation and also keep your voice under control.
Polish your voice
Our voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people. So invest in a tape recorder, practice your speech by speaking it into the microphone and then listen to it. You can even have others join in the evaluation of your strong points and your weaknesses or faults as well. Simply reading a newspaper, a magazine or stories to your children out loud can help. ___19___
Strengthen your memory
Psychologists tell us that most individuals don’t use above ten percent of their inherent capacity for memory. How to enhance the power of memory? First, have a burning desire to remember. It’s difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so. ___20___ Our success depends greatly on our ability to concentrate. The next principle is repetition, we learned many things in school by repetition.
A. Step number two is concentration.
B. A frown often brings the same thing in return.
C. Here are some efficient ways to improve your speech.
D. Your emphasis, pausing, pace and even pitch can improve.
E. Reading aloud cannot necessarily help you develop a personal style.
F. The more associations you make with the brain,the easier it becomes.
G. It’s natural to have some tension when you appear before an audience.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. G 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种能够提高演讲能力的有效方法：使用更多的面部表情；摆脱内心的恐惧；改善说话的声音；加强记忆。
【16题详解】
上文“Find it difficult to make a wonderful speech in public?(觉得在公共场合发表精彩演讲很难吗？)”引出话题“演讲很难”；同时结合后文的四个小标题“Use more facial expressions(使用更多的面部表情)”、“Get rid of your inner fear(摆脱内心的恐惧)”、“Polish your voice(改善说话的声音)”和“Strengthen your memory(加强记忆)”可知，后文在讲述提高演讲的几种具体方法，故此处空格的内容应起到承上启下的作用，C选项“Here are some efficient ways to improve your speech.(以下是一些提高演讲水平的有效方法。)”符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
由第二段的小标题“Use more facial expressions(使用更多的面部表情)”、上文“A smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative.(蕴含眼神的微笑非常具有交流性。)”和后文“People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about a topic or an idea through your facial expression.(人们倾向于表达和你一样的表情，所以试着通过你的面部表情来表达你对某个话题或想法的感觉。)”可知，本段主要讲述面部表情在演讲中的重要性。B选项“A frown often brings the same thing in return.(皱眉往往也会带来同样的回报。)”中的“A frown”也是面部表情，并与上文的“A smile”相对应，符合语境。故选B。
【18题详解】
由第三段的小标题“Get rid of your inner fear(摆脱内心的恐惧)”和后文“The way to handle it is to put it to work for you, get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear.(处理它的方法是让它为你工作，付诸行动，正如莎士比亚所说，行动可以治愈恐惧。)”可知，此段主要讲述如何摆脱内心的恐惧。G选项“It’s natural to have some tension when you appear before an audience.(当你出现在观众面前时，很自然会有一些紧张。)”中的tension就是后文中it所指代的内容，与fear表达的意思一致，放在句首用于引出后文，符合语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
由第四段小标题“Polish your voice(改善说话声音)”和上文“Our voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people.(我们的声音是我们与人交流的主要工具。)”与“Simply reading a newspaper, a magazine or stories to your children out loud can help.(只需大声给孩子读报纸、杂志或故事就可以了。)”可知，本段主要讲的是如何改善说话的声音，D选项“Your emphasis, pausing, pace and even pitch can improve.(你的重点、停顿、速度甚至音高都可以提高。)”承接上文，表示通过前文的给孩子大声读报纸、讲故事等方式可以提高说话的重点、停顿等，符合语境。故选D。
【20题详解】
由第五段小标题“Strengthen your memory(加强记忆)”和上文“First, have a burning desire to remember. It’s difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so.(首先，有一种强烈的记忆欲望。如果没有记忆的欲望那回忆东西是很难的。)”可知，本段主要讲述如何加强记忆，上文中的First表示第一点，又因后文“Our success depends greatly on our ability to concentrate.(我们的成功很大程度上取决于我们的专注能力。)”与上文表述内容不一致，说明此处讲的是另外一点，A选项“Step number two is concentration.(第二步就是专心致志。)”承接上文，Step number two是First的顺延，同时concentration又与后文中的concentrate相对应，符合语境。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了西湖的著名景点。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：西湖被一座山和三条堤分为五部分。分析句子结构可知，此处a mountain和three causeways是并列关系，所以应该用并列连词and连接。故填and。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这里是游客体验当地人生活方式的绝佳场所。分析句子结构可知，“ for visitors 　　　　　　 (experience) the lifestyle of local people”作定语修饰place，place后通常用不定式作定语。故填to experience。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：这是一条长堤，两边种着柳树和其他植物。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定短语：on either side意为“两边”。故填on。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：春天来临时，长堤被桃花和柳絮覆盖，形成特别美丽的景色。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词is blanketed，所以create用非谓语形式，此处应该用现在分词做结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。故填creating。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：它的形象被印在一元纸币上。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以print做本句谓语，它和主语image之间是被动关系，所以应该用被动语态，描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语image为第三人称单数。故填is printed。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：在中秋节的夜晚，月亮挂在空中，又圆又亮，水面上的三座宝塔内各点着一支蜡烛。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的非限制性定语从句，从句结构完整，应用关系副词，先行词the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival，从句中作时间状语用关系副词when引导定语从句。故填when。
【42题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：来自塔窗和月亮光倒影在水面上，因此得名。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以cast作本句谓语，与主语“ The light from the pagoda windows and the moon”是主动关系，且主语为复数，描述现在的事实用一般现在时。故填cast。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：雷峰塔是中国最古老的彩色铜塔。分析句子结构可知，此处修饰空后的名词pagoda，所以应该用形容词修饰，color的形容词是colored“有色的；彩色的”符合句意。故填colored。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它也是一个理想的摄影场所。分析句子结构可知，place是可数名词，根据句意，此处表示泛指，所以空前应用不定冠词修饰，空后的ideal是元音音素开头，用不定冠词an。故填an。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：这样，你可以体验更多的自然。分析句意可知，此处表达“更多”之意，所以应用固定短语more of。故填more。

第二节：续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Mr. Beal’s Egg Drop Challenge was an institution (习俗) at my school. The goal of the Challenge was simple—you had to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when dropped over the stadium wall.
“Bring your container to class on Friday,” Mr. Beal said. “This year we’re going to try something different. You can work alone or with a partner.”
My best friend, Cassie, and I grinned at each other. We always worked on projects together. We’re the perfect combination. I made my favorite sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie to come over and work on the container. Spreading the fluffy marshmallow cream (蓬松棉花糖奶油) gave me an idea. When Cassie arrived, I told her my brilliant idea—use marshmallow cream to absorb the shock of the impact.
“You must be kidding,” Cassie responded. “Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute (降落伞) attached? It will simply float to safety.” “It’s too easy for something to go wrong. It will never work!” I argued. “And marshmallow cream will?” Cassie rolled her eyes. “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”
I couldn’t believe it. Of course we’d had our little fights in the past, but this was different. She’d never called any of my ideas “stupid” before.
“Then I’ll build mine and you build yours, and we’ll just see whose is better.” “Fine!” Cassie grabbed her backpack and stormed out. And just like that, our friendship was smashed (粉碎). Like an egg dropped from the top of a stadium without marshmallow cream to protect it.
Friday finally rolled around. All the kids carried their egg containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. If the egg broke, you were out. If the egg survived, you had to walk up three more steps and drop it again. This went on until the last egg broke. By the fourth launch, only Cassie and I were left.
“OK,” Mr. Beal yelled. “Let them go on the count of three.”
The class called, “One, two, three!” I let go of my container first and then Cassie.
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。
“Oh, no!” I heard someone say and raced down.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“My egg bounced out,” Cassie sighed, frowning.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Oh, no!” I heard someone say and raced down. Had my egg broken? I tried to get to the bottom of the steps as soon as possible. So did Cassie. The side walk was already dotted with egg shells from previous failed drops. I finally found my brave little egg. I didn’t even have to open the container to see the result. Yolk and egg white mixed with marshmallow cream seeped from the container. “That looks like egg drop soup,” Cassie said. She was holding her egg container. My heart raced with nervous. Had she won? I looked at her basket. Empty.
“My egg bounced out,” Cassie sighed, frowning. I saw the broken shell in the grass and said: “I guess your egg had an ejection seat.” Cassie looked at me, and her glare softened. I could see it in the corners of her eyes. She was trying not to smile. I grinned. She giggled. “A tie,” Mr. Beal said, shaking his head. But Cassie and I knew that we had won something more important than the Egg Drop Challenge. Some friendships aren’t like eggs after all. They can survive a little bouncing.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在准备Egg Drop Challenge期间，作者和好朋友Cassie因为设计理念不同而产生了矛盾，决定各自为战。在最后只剩他们俩的决赛中，两人打成平局，也从中认识到了友谊比比赛更重要，所以主动化解了矛盾，重归于好。故事最后告诉我们有些友谊终究不像鸡蛋。它们可以在轻微的弹跳中存活下来。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“‘哦，不！’我听到有人说，就跑了下来。”可知，第一段可以描写作者的鸡蛋容器扔下去之后发生了什么不好的事情，作者和Cassie两个人跑下去后看到的场景是怎样的，两个人的态度和状态分别是什么样的。
②由第二段首句“‘我的蛋弹了出来，’卡西皱着眉头叹了口气。”可知，第二段可以描写Cassie的鸡蛋也不见了，作者对此说了什么。Cassie和作者两个人的鸡蛋虽然都没有存活下来，但他们却认识到了友谊的重要，最后重归于好。
2. 续写线索：准备比赛——作者分享自己的主意——Cassie粗鲁地否定了作者的建议——两人各自准备——打成平局——重归于好
3. 词汇激活
行为类：
①冲下去：race down/rush down
②到达：get to/reach
③笑：grin/smile/giggle
情绪类：
①紧张的：nervous/anxious
