I had started learning how to swim when I was five years old and I have been swimming ever since. There are many reasons why I love swimming but I’ll just share a few with you, and maybe I can even encourage you to go for a swim. The first reason why I love swimming is that it can be extremely relaxing. I love the feeling of floating on the water, feeling almost weightless. I find that whenever I leave the pool I feel totally relaxed. On the other hand, it can also be a competitive sport. It’s amazing pushing yourself to the challenge of beating someone else to the finishing line and it’s great fun racing across the pool as fast as you can! Trying little tricks like underwater handstands and flips also puts a big smile on my face. Another reason why I love swimming is that it has more varieties than other sports. Swimming offers many different strokes, so it doesn’t feel like you’re stuck doing the same thing over and over again. In the summer, swimming also provides a nice break! There’s nothing better than jumping into the water on a hot summer’s day. The pool makes you feel better immediately. And I think it adds to the summer holiday feeling. As for me the summer months are when I swim most. Finally, it’s a life skill which everyone should have. Not only is it good for your health, but you never know when you’ll need your ability to swim. 19. What makes the author love swimming more than other sports according to Paragraph 4? A. The variety of swimming. B. The challenge of swimming. C. Much swimming experience. D. Underwater swimming tricks. 20. How many reasons does the author mention for swimming? A. 1. B. 4. C. 5.

By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career — gold in the men’s Big. Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4. Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su. Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue s Olympic debut — drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves. “The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.” Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs — even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.” 22. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Arrived. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed. 23. According to Su himself, what is his secret to his success? A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard working. C. His love for snowboarding. D. His life dream of achieving success. 24. Which of the following words can best describe Su? A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Generous and productive. C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted. 25. What’s Su’s attitude toward his future? A. Upset. B. Hopeful. C. Anxious. D. Careful. 【答案】22. B 23. C 24. D 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了中国单板滑雪天才苏翊鸣在奥运会上取得金牌的历程、他对滑雪运动的热爱以及他对未来的展望。 【22题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager (周二，单板滑雪天才苏翊鸣为中国赢得了首枚奥运会单板滑雪金牌，这让苏翊鸣一举成名。在连续完成1800个花样后，这位少年)”和“the biggest prize so far in his young career (目前为止他年轻的职业生涯中最大的奖项)”可知，苏翊鸣表现突出，获得了迄今为止最大的奖项。因此，landed在这里的意思是“获得”。A. Arrived到达；B. Gained获得；C. Created创建；D. Dreamed做梦。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中““The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. (当被问及他成功的秘诀时，苏说：“对我来说最大的动力是我对单板滑雪的热爱。”)”可知，他对滑板运动的热爱是他成功的秘诀。故选C。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. (在过去的四年里，苏将他的天赋与努力相结合，使他成为这项运动有史以来最快的运动员之一)”可知，苏翊鸣工作勤奋，全心投入。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift. (我认为我在未来的职业生涯中仍然有很多可能性可以探索，无论是单板滑雪还是表演。但现在我只想享受这一刻，把它当作最好的生日礼物来庆祝)”可知，苏对自己的未来持乐观态度。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Under Emperor Wu(156－87 BCE), the Western Han reached the peak of its power.

In about the seventh century BCE, the ancient Greeks began to learn about an ancient civilization to the East, yet knew little about it. ___28___. Yet real communication between China, Central and West Asian countries, Africa and the European continent did not develop until the opening of the Silk Road. The Silk Road functioned not only as a trade route, but also as a bridge that linked the ancient civilizations of China, India, the Mesopotamian plains, Egypt, and Greece. ___29___. The Silk Road served as the main channel for ancient China to open up to the outside world, as well as for fresh impulses from other cultures to enter the country, which contributed a significant share to the shaping of Chinese culture. ___30___. While Chinese culture and technology, such as paper-making and printing, were introduced to countries to the West, China also absorbed many elements from the arts, philosophy and religions of many other countries.

The Chinese had little knowledge about the outside world D. The Silk Road had a great influence on the Chinese people’s lives E.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了丝绸之路的起源和对人类发展的意义。 【26题详解】 上文“The Western Regions were opened. (西域开放)”说明汉朝和西域能够通商，商人能够在中国和欧洲之间旅行，与空格处是因果关系，因此E项“这使得商人能够在中国和欧洲之间旅行”符合语境，故选E。 【27题详解】 下文“which is present-day Xi’an, capital of Shaanxi Province, passing through Gansu and Xinjiang to Central Asia, West Asia, and to lands by the Mediterranean (今陕西省会西安，途径甘肃、新疆，到达中亚、西亚，地中海沿岸)”说明的是丝绸之路的起止地点，现在的西安就是汉朝时期的长安，因此A项“丝绸之路始于长安”符合语境，故选A。 【28题详解】 上文“Yet real communication between China, Central and West Asian countries, Africa and the European continent did not develop until the opening of the Silk Road. (然而，直到丝绸之路开通，中国、中亚和西亚国家、非洲和欧洲大陆之间的真正交流才发展起来)”说明在丝绸之路开通之前虽然也存在一条贸易路线，然而真正壮大起来还是丝绸之路开通之后，注意空格后面的转折词“yet”，表明空格处和后文的对比，因此F项“在丝绸之路之前，草原上已经存在一条贸易路线”符合语境，故选F。 【29题详解】 上文“The Silk Road functioned not only as a trade route, but also as a bridge that linked the ancient civilizations of China, India, the Mesopotamian plains, Egypt, and Greece (丝绸之路不仅是一条贸易路线，也是连接中国、印度、美索不达米亚平原、埃及和希腊等古代文明的桥梁)”以及下文“The Silk Road served as the main channel for ancient China to open up to the outside world, as well as for fresh impulses from other cultures to enter the country, which contributed a significant share to the shaping of Chinese culture.(丝绸之路是古代中国对外开放的主要通道，也是其他文化进入中国的新动力，为中国文化的形成做出了重要贡献)”说明丝绸之路不仅是古代中国对外开放的主要通道，也是其他文化传入中国的主要渠道，比如说科技方面的交流，因此G项“它还促进了东西方之间的科学技术交流”符合语境，故选G。 【30题详解】 下文“While Chinese culture and technology, such as paper-making and printing, were introduced to countries to the West, China also absorbed many elements from the arts, philosophy and religions of many other countries. (在中国文化和技术，如造纸和印刷，被引入西方国家的同时，中国也从许多其他国家的艺术、哲学和宗教中吸收了许多元素)”说明的是丝绸之路对中国多个方面的影响，因此D项“丝绸之路对中国人民的生活产生了巨大的影响”符合本段主旨，故选D。 第四部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15 小题； 每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The bell rang.

These hobbies not only provide entertainment but also offer a sense of accomplishment and personal growth. In this unit, we will explore the stories of three individuals who have turned their passions into fulfilling careers. Story 1: Sarah and Her Passion for Photography Sarah, a 24-year-old woman from New York, has always been fascinated by the way light interacts with objects, creating beautiful shadows and reflections. This fascination led her to pick up a camera at a young age. Over the years, Sarah’s interest in photography grew, and she began capturing everyday moments, turning them into pieces of art. Today, Sarah is a renowned wedding photographer, capturing the joy and emotions of couples on their special day. Story 2: Mark’s Journey with Music Mark, a 30-year-old man from London, has been playing the guitar since he was a teenager. Music has always been his escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. As he grew older, Mark realized that he wanted to share his passion with others. He started giving guitar lessons and eventually formed a band. Today, Mark’s band is quite popular in the local music scene, and he has even released a few albums. Story 3: Zhang Wei’s Love for Painting Zhang Wei, a 27-year-old artist from Beijing, discovered her love for painting when she was a child. She spent hours in her room, sketching and coloring, creating imaginary worlds. Her talent was recognized early on, and she was encouraged to pursue her passion further. Zhang Wei went to art school and eventually became a renowned painter. Her works are now displayed in galleries across China and abroad. 16. What is the main theme of the passage? A.

B. Only in China. C. In galleries across China and abroad. D. In online galleries. B If you ask me what my favourite sport is, my answer is swimming. I had started learning how to swim when I was five years old and I have been swimming ever since. There are many reasons why I love swimming but I’ll just share a few with you, and maybe I can even encourage you to go for a swim. The first reason why I love swimming is that it can be extremely relaxing. I love the feeling of floating on the water, feeling almost weightless. I find that whenever I leave the pool I feel totally relaxed. On the other hand, it can also be a competitive sport. It’s amazing pushing yourself to the challenge of beating someone else to the finishing line and it’s great fun racing across the pool as fast as you can! Trying little tricks like underwater handstands and flips also puts a big smile on my face. Another reason why I love swimming is that it has more varieties than other sports. Swimming offers many different strokes, so it doesn’t feel like you’re stuck doing the same thing over and over again. In the summer, swimming also provides a nice break! There’s nothing better than jumping into the water on a hot summer’s day. The pool makes you feel better immediately. And I think it adds to the summer holiday feeling. As for me the summer months are when I swim most. Finally, it’s a life skill which everyone should have. Not only is it good for your health, but you never know when you’ll need your ability to swim. 19 What makes the author love swimming more than other sports according to Paragraph 4? A. The variety of swimming. B. The challenge of swimming. C. Much swimming experience. D. Underwater swimming tricks. 20. How many reasons does the author mention for swimming? A. 1. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6. 21. What is the best title for the text? A. Whether swimming is good for health. B. The disadvantages of swimming. C. The ways to learn swimming. D. Why I love swimming. C Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career — gold in the men’s Big. Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4. Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su. Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue s Olympic debut — drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves. “The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.” Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs — even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.” 22. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Arrived. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed. 23. According to Su himself, what is his secret to his success? A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard working. C. His love for snowboarding. D. His life dream of achieving success. 24. Which of the following words can best describe Su? A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Generous and productive. C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted. 25. What’s Su’s attitude toward his future? A. Upset. B. Hopeful. C. Anxious. D.
