【1题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“The Eastern Market is celebrating its 150th anniversary ( 周年纪念日) as DC’s original food and art market. (东方市场正在庆祝其作为华盛顿特区原创食品和艺术市场的150周年纪念日)”可知,Eastern Market正在庆祝其150周年纪念日这个大事件。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中“The market is organized by neighborhood volunteers who make up the nonprofit group Friends of Rose Park. (该市场由组成非营利组织玫瑰公园之友的社区志愿者组织)”可知,Rose Park Farmers Market是由社区志愿者组织的。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中“At the market, enjoy live music while shopping local products and handmade items. (在市场上,一边欣赏现场音乐,一边购买当地产品和手工制品)”可知,Historic Manassas Farmers Market提供现场表演。故选C项。

I was taught at a young age to be afraid rather than to experience life. Don’t ride a bike because you might get hit by a car. Don’t swim because you might drown. That’s why I was initially afraid to approach others. They might say no — how could I live with that rejection (拒绝)?
A book changed me. Near the end of the book, the writer suggested trying out what I had just read but to pretend it was like the training game in a sport — when the games didn’t count. When my teams would lose formal games, I couldn’t bear to watch. But when they lost in the training game, I didn’t care.
I don’t know why the suggestion resonated with me. But I knew this new way of thinking worked for me. It gave me power to know the results didn’t matter because this was the exhibition game when I was practicing what I had learned before the real games started.
I discovered there were other ways to use this new tool. It allowed me to have a successful sales career, even though I heard the word “no” hundreds of times. It was part of the business, but I didn’t let it get me down. I turned a negative into a positive by reasoning that every time I heard the word “no”, it meant I was one step closer to “yes”. It’s amazing how powerful you feel when you remove the fear that stops you from going after what you want in life.
I still do my sales job, and we have a lot of high-school and college students working at the company. I will pass on the advice that I learned many years ago and encourage them to use that idea for whatever they want to achieve.
4. How was the author’s character when he was young?
A. Helpful. B. Outgoing. C. Unsociable. D. Confident.
5. Which of the following may the book writer agree with?
A. The training games are also important.
B. Whatever the game is, it doesn’t count.
C. Don’t worry about life’s gains and losses.
D. Just have a try and don’t care about the results.
6. What does the underlined word “resonated” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Agree. B. Meet. C. Fight. D. Deal.
7. What does the author think of rejections in his work?
A. Positive results. B. Steps to success.
C. Excuses to escape. D. Unbeatable strikes.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者从小被教导要存敬畏之心,而不是大胆地去体验生活,造成了他的自我封闭。直到他读到一本书,建议他看淡结果,勇于尝试,使他从此走在成功之路上。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“I was taught at a young age to be afraid rather than to experience life. Don’t ride a bike because you might get hit by a car. Don’t swim because you might drown. That’s why I was initially afraid to approach others. (我从小就被教导要害怕,而不是去体验生活。不要骑自行车,因为你可能会被汽车撞到。不要游泳,因为你可能会淹死。这就是为什么我一开始害怕接近别人)”可知,作者从小被教导要存敬畏之心,而不是大胆地去体验生活,导致作者小时候害怕接近别人,不善于交际。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Near the end of the book, the writer suggested trying out what I had just read but to pretend it was like the training game in a sport — when the games didn’t count. (在书的最后,作者建议尝试一下我刚刚读到的内容,但要假装它就像一项运动中的训练赛——其实训练赛并不算数)”和第三段中“It gave me power to know the results didn’t matter (它让我知道结果并不重要)”可知,书中作者建议读者大胆尝试,不要把比赛当回事,不要计较结果。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后文“But I knew this new way of thinking worked for me. (但我知道这种新的思维方式对我有效)”说明作者非常认同这种新思维方式,从而推知划线词句“I don’t know why the suggestion resonated with me. (我不知道为什么(假装我的尝试不算数的)建议会使我resonated)”其中划线部分意思是“赞同,认同”。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“I turned a negative into a positive by reasoning that every time I heard the word “no”, it meant I was one step closer to “yes”. (通过推理,我把消极转化为积极,因为每次听到‘不’这个词,就意味着我离“是”更近了一步)”可知,作者认为别人的拒绝会让他距离成功更近一步。故选B项。
C
A recent study drawing on 28 years of data has proved the old saying: There’s no such thing as a free lunch. In the study, scientists found that dolphin mothers that interact (互动) with boaters have nearly twice as many babies as female dolphins that stay away. But those babies are nine times more likely to die before reaching adulthood. The number one cause of their death in Sarasota Bay is associated with sport fishing. That high death rate poses a problem for the population as a whole.
In the United States, feeding dolphins is illegal under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, but it still happens often. Even though we might not mean to, with just our presence, we’re conditioning animals to be around humans more. That closeness increases a dolphin’s risk of being struck by a boat, trapped in a fishing line, or caught by a fishing hook.
Dolphins are smart and social animals and their begging has motivations. Getting fish from people instead of hunting could allow female dolphins to save time and energy that they can instead put toward reproduction. It makes sense that the dolphins eating up bait (诱饵), getting fish from a fisher’s line, and approaching boats for food can have more babies. However, studies of other species around the world, such as green sea turtles in the Bahamas, show that animals that become dependent on human handouts stop hunting for food. This is true of Sarasota Bay’s dolphins, and it’s a preference that they pass on. Dolphins from one family have been approaching boats for four generations. That behavior is even more dangerous for the youngsters — little dolphins can be killed by boats or fishing equipment as they try to stay close to their moms.
For these dolphin mothers, losing multiple babies one by one likely causes emotional distress. Over time, this stress on female dolphins and the deaths of so many babies could cause population numbers to fall.
We can’t stop the dolphins from interacting with humans. But we can teach people to enjoy wild animals from a safe distance. And for dolphins’ own good, stop giving them food.
8. What can we learn about female dolphins interacting with humans from the text?
A. They bear more baby dolphins.
B. They suffer more from sport fishing.
C. They have been studied for 28 years.
D. They help increase dolphin’s population.
9. Why do dolphins interact with people?
A. To make sense of their life.
B. To keep the unique relation with humans.
C. To reduce their reproduction.
D. To save time and energy.
10. What suggestion does the author make to us?
A. Stop sport fishing.
B. Stop feeding dolphins.
C. Stop hunting dolphins for food.
D. Stop dolphins from interacting with humans.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Dolphins’ population.
B. Enjoy wild animals closer.
C. Keep a safe distance from dolphins.
D. Dolphins’ interaction with boaters.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出与人类互动的海豚妈妈生的小海豚数量是远离人类的海豚妈妈的两倍,但这些小海豚的死亡率更高,这会给雌性海豚带来情绪困扰,随着时间的推移,这种对雌性海豚的压力和如此多婴儿的死亡可能会导致种群数量下降,作者呼吁人们在安全距离内欣赏海豚,不要对其喂食。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中“In the study, scientists found that dolphin mothers that interact (互动) with boaters have nearly twice as many babies as female dolphins that stay away. (在这项研究中,科学家发现,与划船者互动的海豚母亲的婴儿数量几乎是远离划船者的雌性海豚的两倍)”可知,与人类互动的雌海豚繁殖更多的小海豚。故选A项。

The 2026 World Cup final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, organizers FIFA announced on Sunday. The New York held off a strong challenge from Dallas to win the July 19 game, the culmination (高潮) of the expanded 48-team tournament (锦标赛) being co-hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico.
The competition will kick-off with the opening game at Mexico City’s iconic Azteca Stadium on June 11. Atlanta and Dallas will host the semi-finals while the third-place game will be played in Miami. The quarter-final games will take place in Los Angeles, Kansas City, Miami and Boston. A total of 16 cities across the three countries will host games, while most of the matches will be held in the US.
The New York had lobbied (游说) hard on the city’s experience at hosting major international events and its position as a global city with easy transportation connections for fans. There is some compensation for Dallas with the spot being given nine total games — the most of any spot. Los Angeles had also thrown a hat into the ring, but the attempt struggled among disagreements with FIFA about tournament upgrades needed to National Football League playground, SoFi Stadium. The Azteca will become the first stadium to host the World Cup tournament games in three separate editions after 1970 and 1986.
The World Cup will take place during celebrations of the 250th anniversary of American independence. A round-of-16 game will be held on July 4, Independence Day, in Philadelphia, where the US Declaration of Independence was signed.
The expansion of the tournament to 48 teams from 32 means there will be an additional 24 matches, making up 104 games across the 16 chosen playgrounds. The tournament will take 12 groups, with the top two going through and the eight best third-placed teams. From there, the competition is a straight knock-out format until the champion is determined.
12. Which city will hold most matches?
A. Los Angeles. B. Azteca. C. New York. D. Dallas.
13. What made Los Angeles fail to host the 2026 World Cup final?
A. Its stadium doesn’t agree with the FIFA requirement.
B. It isn’t a global city with easy transportation connections.
C. It has hosted the World Cup games in three separate editions.
D. It has no experiences in hosting major international events.
14. What can we learn about the Azteca Stadium from the text?
A. It will host the first game of the tournament.
B. It is located in New Jersey of the United States.
C. It will host the fourth World Cup tournament game.
D. It will celebrate its 250th anniversary during the tournament.
15. How many teams will advance to the second stage?
A. 12. B. 24. C. 32. D. 48.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了2026年世界杯决赛将在新泽西州大都会人寿体育场举行的相关情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中“There is some compensation for Dallas with the spot being given nine total games — the most of any spot. (达拉斯得到了一些补偿,总共九场比赛,是所有地点中(举行比赛)最多的地方)”可知,达拉斯将举办最多的比赛。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中“Los Angeles had also thrown a hat into the ring, but the attempt struggled among disagreements with FIFA about tournament upgrades needed to National Football League playground, SoFi Stadium. (洛杉矶也接受挑战,但在与国际足联就国家橄榄球联盟操场SoFi体育场所需的锦标赛升级方面存在分歧的情况下,这一尝试举步维艰)”可知,洛杉矶的体育场不符合国际足联的要求,使其无法举办2026年世界杯决赛。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“The competition will kick-off with the opening game at Mexico City’s iconic Azteca Stadium on June 11. (比赛将于6月11日在墨西哥城标志性的阿兹特克体育场开幕)”可知,阿兹特克体育场将举办锦标赛的第一场比赛。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中“The tournament will take 12 groups, with the top two going through and the eight best third-placed teams. (比赛将分为12个小组赛,前两名晋级,八支排名第三的球队晋级)”可知,共有24支队伍从小组赛中晋级,然后有8个小组第三,最终晋级32支队伍到下一个阶段。故选C项。

From Lemonade Stand to Dreamland: the Boy Who Built a Home
Thirteen-year-old Ethan was no ordinary kid. While his peers were lost in video games, he managed a lemonade stand near the trailer (活动房屋) park he called home with his mother. His stand was simple - a table, a huge bottle, and a sign - but it was the cornerstone of his dream to improve his mother’s life.
Ethan’s mother worked tirelessly at several jobs to make ends meet. Their trailer was old and worn, but Ethan determined to provide her with a real house, free from worries of various house problems. He saved every penny from his lemonade sales in a box under his bed, calling it “House Fund”. Every day, he imagined it growing big enough to make his dream come true.
Ethan’s determination led him to seek additional ways to earn money. He cleaned shoes, washed windows, and assisted the elderly with groceries. Despite his long days, Ethan never let his schoolwork slip. He knew that doing well in school was key to a better future, and he dreamed of attending college one day, though he knew that the dream was even further out of reach than the house. Still, he held onto it, just as tightly as he held onto his belief that hard work would pay off someday.
One hot summer afternoon, while Ethan was manning his lemonade stand, a man in a black car pulled up. Dressed in a sharp suit, he stepped out and walked over to the stand. He seemed out of place in the run-down neighborhood, but his warm smile put Ethan at ease.
Over a glass of lemonade, he learned of Ethan’s wish to buy his mom a house. He was impressed by Ethan’s ambition and offered him a hundred-dollar bill, calling it an investment (投资) in his future. He wasn’t just generous; he sent tutors to help Ethan with his studies. With their guidance, Ethan’s grades improved dramatically, including his confidence.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Years passed, and Ethan’s hard work paid off.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One bright morning, Ethan stood with his mother in front of a beautiful new house.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Years passed, and Ethan’s hard work paid off. His lemonade stand was good, attracting more customers with its refreshing drinks and Ethan’s good manners. With the help of tutors, Ethan excelled in his studies, even winning scholarships that further fueled his “House Fund”. He continued his sideline, expanding them to include babysitting and lawn mowing, always saving diligently. He earned a scholarship to a college and after graduating with honors, he quickly found success in the business world. But through it all, he never forgot his promise.
One bright morning, Ethan stood with his mother in front of a beautiful new house. It wasn’t a mansion, but it was perfect - solid, warm, and filled with love. As they stepped inside, his mother’s eyes were filled with tears of joy. “I told you I’d build a house for you,” Ethan said, his voice thick with emotion. “Mom, this is for you. No more leaks, no more creaky floors. Welcome home, Mom.” As they stepped inside, Ethan knew that his journey was far from over, but with every obstacle overcome, his belief in the power of hard work grew stronger.

I was taught at a young age to be afraid rather than to experience life. Don’t ride a bike because you might get hit by a car. Don’t swim because you might drown. That’s why I was initially afraid to approach others. They might say no — how could I live with that rejection (拒绝)?
A book changed me. Near the end of the book, the writer suggested trying out what I had just read but to pretend it was like the training game in a sport — when the games didn’t count. When my teams would lose formal games, I couldn’t bear to watch. But when they lost in the training game, I didn’t care.
I don’t know why the suggestion resonated with me. But I knew this new way of thinking worked for me. It gave me power to know the results didn’t matter because this was the exhibition game when I was practicing what I had learned before the real games started.
I discovered there were other ways to use this new tool. It allowed me to have a successful sales career, even though I heard the word “no” hundreds of times. It was part of the business, but I didn’t let it get me down. I turned a negative into a positive by reasoning that every time I heard the word “no”, it meant I was one step closer to “yes”. It’s amazing how powerful you feel when you remove the fear that stops you from going after what you want in life.
I still do my sales job, and we have a lot of high-school and college students working at the company. I will pass on the advice that I learned many years ago and encourage them to use that idea for whatever they want to achieve.
4. How was the author’s character when he was young?
A. Helpful. B. Outgoing. C. Unsociable. D. Confident.
5. Which of the following may the book writer agree with?
A. The training games are also important.
B. Whatever the game is, it doesn’t count.
C. Don’t worry about life’s gains and losses.
D. Just have a try and don’t care about the results.
6. What does the underlined word “resonated” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Agree. B. Meet. C. Fight. D. Deal.
7. What does the author think of rejections in his work?
A. Positive results. B. Steps to success.
C. Excuses to escape. D. Unbeatable strikes.
C
A recent study drawing on 28 years of data has proved the old saying: There’s no such thing as a free lunch. In the study, scientists found that dolphin mothers that interact (互动) with boaters have nearly twice as many babies as female dolphins that stay away. But those babies are nine times more likely to die before reaching adulthood. The number one cause of their death in Sarasota Bay is associated with sport fishing. That high death rate poses a problem for the population as a whole.
In the United States, feeding dolphins is illegal under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, but it still happens often. Even though we might not mean to, with just our presence, we’re conditioning animals to be around humans more. That closeness increases a dolphin’s risk of being struck by a boat, trapped in a fishing line, or caught by a fishing hook.
Dolphins are smart and social animals and their begging has motivations. Getting fish from people instead of hunting could allow female dolphins to save time and energy that they can instead put toward reproduction. It makes sense that the dolphins eating up bait (诱饵), getting fish from a fisher’s line, and approaching boats for food can have more babies. However, studies of other species around the world, such as green sea turtles in the Bahamas, show that animals that become dependent on human handouts stop hunting for food. This is true of Sarasota Bay’s dolphins, and it’s a preference that they pass on. Dolphins from one family have been approaching boats for four generations. That behavior is even more dangerous for the youngsters — little dolphins can be killed by boats or fishing equipment as they try to stay close to their moms.
For these dolphin mothers, losing multiple babies one by one likely causes emotional distress. Over time, this stress on female dolphins and the deaths of so many babies could cause population numbers to fall.
We can’t stop the dolphins from interacting with humans. But we can teach people to enjoy wild animals from a safe distance. And for dolphins’ own good, stop giving them food.

The 2026 World Cup final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, organizers FIFA announced on Sunday. The New York held off a strong challenge from Dallas to win the July 19 game, the culmination (高潮) of the expanded 48-team tournament (锦标赛) being co-hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico.
The competition will kick-off with the opening game at Mexico City’s iconic Azteca Stadium on June 11. Atlanta and Dallas will host the semi-finals while the third-place game will be played in Miami. The quarter-final games will take place in Los Angeles, Kansas City, Miami and Boston. A total of 16 cities across the three countries will host games, while most of the matches will be held in the US.
The New York had lobbied (游说) hard on the city’s experience at hosting major international events and its position as a global city with easy transportation connections for fans. There is some compensation for Dallas with the spot being given nine total games — the most of any spot. Los Angeles had also thrown a hat into the ring, but the attempt struggled among disagreements with FIFA about tournament upgrades needed to National Football League playground, SoFi Stadium. The Azteca will become the first stadium to host the World Cup tournament games in three separate editions after 1970 and 1986.
The World Cup will take place during celebrations of the 250th anniversary of American independence. A round-of-16 game will be held on July 4, Independence Day, in Philadelphia, where the US Declaration of Independence was signed.
The expansion of the tournament to 48 teams from 32 means there will be an additional 24 matches, making up 104 games across the 16 chosen playgrounds. The tournament will take 12 groups, with the top two going through and the eight best third-placed teams. From there, the competition is a straight knock-out format until the champion is determined.
12. Which city will hold most matches?
A. Los Angeles. B. Azteca. C. New York. D. Dallas.
13. What made Los Angeles fail to host the 2026 World Cup final?
A. Its stadium doesn’t agree with the FIFA requirement.
B. It isn’t a global city with easy transportation connections.
C. It has hosted the World Cup games in three separate editions.
D. It has no experiences in hosting major international events.
14. What can we learn about the Azteca Stadium from the text?
A. It will host the first game of the tournament.
B. It is located in New Jersey of the United States.
C. It will host the fourth World Cup tournament game.
D. It will celebrate its 250th anniversary during the tournament.
15. How many teams will advance to the second stage?
A. 12. B. 24. C. 32. D. 48.

From Lemonade Stand to Dreamland: the Boy Who Built a Home
Thirteen-year-old Ethan was no ordinary kid. While his peers were lost in video games, he managed a lemonade stand near the trailer (活动房屋) park he called home with his mother. His stand was simple - a table, a huge bottle, and a sign - but it was the cornerstone of his dream to improve his mother’s life.
Ethan’s mother worked tirelessly at several jobs to make ends meet. Their trailer was old and worn, but Ethan determined to provide her with a real house, free from worries of various house problems. He saved every penny from his lemonade sales in a box under his bed, calling it “House Fund”. Every day, he imagined it growing big enough to make his dream come true.
Ethan’s determination led him to seek additional ways to earn money. He cleaned shoes, washed windows, and assisted the elderly with groceries. Despite his long days, Ethan never let his schoolwork slip. He knew that doing well in school was key to a better future, and he dreamed of attending college one day, though he knew that the dream was even further out of reach than the house. Still, he held onto it, just as tightly as he held onto his belief that hard work would pay off someday.
One hot summer afternoon, while Ethan was manning his lemonade stand, a man in a black car pulled up. Dressed in a sharp suit, he stepped out and walked over to the stand. He seemed out of place in the run-down neighborhood, but his warm smile put Ethan at ease.
Over a glass of lemonade, he learned of Ethan’s wish to buy his mom a house. He was impressed by Ethan’s ambition and offered him a hundred-dollar bill, calling it an investment (投资) in his future. He wasn’t just generous; he sent tutors to help Ethan with his studies. With their guidance, Ethan’s grades improved dramatically, including his confidence.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Years passed, and Ethan’s hard work paid off.

One bright morning Ethan stood with his mother in front of a beautiful new house.
