How; an 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这个戴眼镜的18岁女孩在英语学习上取得了多大的进步啊！——是的，我们都非常钦佩她。 考查感叹句和冠词。an不定冠词，表示泛指；the定冠词，表示确指。how引导感叹句结构是“how+形容词/副词+主语+谓语动词”，what引导感叹句结构是“what+名词+主语+谓语动词”。第一句是感叹句，其中心词是不可数名词“progress”，用“what”作引导感叹句。句中“with glasses”是定语修饰“girl”，表达确指“这个戴眼镜的18岁女孩”，用定冠词“the”。故选C。 2. —Hi, Li Mei. How is your new school? —Great. We can choose the courses according to our ______. I love operas, so I took the Beijing Opera class. A. grades B. talents C. interests D. experiences 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——嗨，李梅。你的新学校怎么样？——很好。我们可以根据自己的兴趣选择课程。我喜欢歌剧，所以我参加了京剧班。 考查名词辨析。grades成绩；talents才能；interests兴趣；experiences经历。根据后文“I love operas, so I took the Beijing Opera class.”可知，应根据兴趣选择课程，故选C。 3.

A. How soon; Not until B. How long; Not until C. How soon; Until D. How long; Until 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——哦，很多人都站在大厅。电影还要多久开始？——直到7点钟才开始。 考查特殊疑问句及答语。how soon多久，常用在一般将来时态的句子中；how long多长，提问“for+一段时间”，句中动词要用延续性；根据语境可知，第一句中用的是将来时，表达动作还有多久，所以用how soon提问；而本题中的动词是start，是短暂性动词，所以应该用not until，如果是延续性动词则用until，故选A。 5.

A. breaks out B. is broken out C. breaks up D. is broken up 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：战争是灾难，如果一场战争爆发，许多人将会失去他们的家园。根据break out爆发，break up打碎，结束；故排除C/D；根据war和break out是主动关系；故选A。 6.

A. both; and B. neither; nor C. either; or D. not only; but also 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我听说不仅你妈妈而且你阿姨都喜欢看肥皂剧。——没错，就像很多女性一样。 考查代词辨析。both ... and两者都；neither ... nor既不……也不……；either ... or要么……要么……；not only ... but also不仅……而且……。根据“Right, just as many women do.”可知，此处应表示你妈妈和你阿姨都喜欢看肥皂剧；根据“likes”是动词第三人称单数可知，此处应用not only...but also...的结构，句子谓语动词遵循“就近原则”。故选D。 8. I wonder ________ the baby. She is crying sadly. A. what is the matter with B. what the matter is with C. if what matter is with D. if what is the matter with 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我想知道这个婴儿怎么了。她伤心地哭着。 考查宾语从句。此处是特殊疑问句构成的宾语从句，应使用陈述句语序，what’s the matter固定句型中，为陈述句，疑问代词what作主语，is系动词，the matter作表语，C、D表达错误。故选A。 9.

A. close; close B. close; closely C. closely; close D. closely; closely 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：住得离他近并不意味着你有机会和他密切合作。 close接近地，靠近地；closely密切地，紧密地。根据句意可知，第一个空表示“住得近”，应用close；第二个空表示“密切合作”，应用closely。故选B。 10. —I’m sure I can win the first prize in this English writing competition. —__________.

That’s “city”. Visiting the Great Wall of China? Very “city”. Riding a bike down Shanghai’s Anfu Road? Quite “city”. If you don’t get it, let me explain it to you. The popularity of “City bu city?” has risen on the Internet these days. You can use it to describe whether someone, or something is urban (都市的) and modern or not. “City bu city?” was first used by American blogger Paul Mike Ashton. He has lived in Shanghai with his sister for years. His name on the Internet is “Bao Bao Xiong”. He likes sharing travel experiences in China on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Ashton became popular after he shared a video of him asking his sister “City bu city?” on the Great Wall. The word “city” itself has now taken on a new meaning as an adjective. Ashton himself says that it describes something that happens in the city, but it can also be “something that gives you a great love for life”. In recent years, a large number of foreign tourists like Ashton have been sharing their experiences of visiting China online. Topics about travelling in China are becoming more and more popular. Now people around the world can learn more about different places of modern China and Chinese way of life. And all of these are shown in a more emotional (感性的), friendly and natural way. 39. Which country is “city bu city” said in? A. Britain. B. Germany. C. China. D. France. 40. Which of the following can NOT be described as “city”? A. Enjoying milk tea with friends. B. Travelling around Changsha. C. Staying up late for homework. D. Riding a bike down Shanghai’s Anfu Road. 41. What can you learn from the passage? A. Few foreign tourists like sharing their experiences online. B. More and more foreigners would like to travel in China. C. People can learn more about different places in ancient China. D. Creating a new meaning for a common word is Aston’s great hobby. 【答案】39. C 40. C 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“City bu city?”这一网络热词的来源和含义。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Ashton became popular after he shared a video of him asking his sister ‘City bu city?’ on the Great Wall.”可知，“City bu city?”是在中国的长城上说的。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“it describes something that happens in the city, but it can also be ‘something that gives you a great love for life’ ”可知，“city”描述的是发生在城市里的事，也可以是“让你对生活产生极大热爱的事”，“Staying up late for homework.”不符合这一含义。故选C。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In recent years, a large number of foreign tourists like Ashton have been sharing their experiences of visiting China online.”可知，近年来，大量外国游客在网上分享他们在中国旅游经历。故选B。 C Are you ready to play in a magical world filled with ancient Chinese legends (传说)? If so, then you’ll love the new video game called “Black Myth: Wukong”! This exciting game is from the famous Chinese story, Journey to the west, which tells the story of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. If you have a clear understanding of the story, you can win the game more easily. In this game, you’ll get to play as Sun Wukong himself. You’ll meet interesting characters and travel to different places, from green forests to high mountains. You can use his magic to fight against enemies with his famous stick and go through the story. Also, as you play “Black Myth: Wukong”, you’ll find it difficult to pass all the levels. You may stay on the same level for a long time, but never give up. On each level, you’ll enjoy different stories, and all of them are full of fun and excitement. One of the most exciting things about “Black Myth: Wukong” is that it’s China’s first 3A game. It becomes the most popular game in the world for its great graphics (画面), interesting stories and exciting fighting. The game’s production (制作) team travelled all over China to take photos of ancient buildings and relics (遗迹), and they also put some traditional music into the game for you to enjoy. “Black Myth: Wukong” is a wonderful game that combines (结合) ancient Chinese culture with exciting gameplay.

Most of his stories were seen in magazines. He was good at making just enough suspense (悬念) to keep the readers interested in the following part in the next week’s magazine. Make no mistake—The Moonstone is not a “short” story. Nearly three times as long as a detective novel, it will take some time to get to the bottom of it. But that does not make it boring. In fact, it just adds to its complicated plots. Told through 11 different voices, Wilkie Collins’ novel is a classic mystery that will leave you guessing and guessing again until the final pages. Written in 1868, using only what they know. That means the reader is always filling in the gaps as the story goes on, wanting to know what happens next. The story is about a large, yellow diamond called the moonstone. The stone is very sacred (神圣的) in India. It was first stolen from India in 1799. It finds its way to a young English girl named Rachel about 50 years later. But on the night of her 18th birthday, it is stolen again! From there the reader is taken on a crazy journey, through the eyes of all the different characters and suspects. That means suspects changes from character to character. For example, first you think the waitress is the thief, but she is soon found dead and a new character is suspected of stealing the diamond. The story also touches on the history between India and England. While the English are wondering who stole “their” diamond, the Indians are angry because the English stole it from them first. So, who stole the diamond? Why not read it and find out! 46. This reading text mainly introduces _________. A. a pet B. a book C. a club D. a writer 47. The Moonstone tells a story about _________. A. how the moonstone is lost B. who has stolen the moonstone C. what the moonstone is made of D. why the moonstone is stolen 48. According to the first two paragraphs, we can know _________. A. most William Wilkie Collins’s works were seen in films B. it takes you a little time to finish reading the story C. you can’t find out the result until the very end of the story D. the story is the first short-length detective story 【答案】46.

The kangaroo mouse is named after an Australian animal. It lives in the Nevada desert and doesn’t need to drink water. It has been used to the dry environment by getting all the water it needs from the seeds it eats. ● Clams (蛤蜊) have feet. It seems clams have a big tongue (舌头) that sometimes reaches out from their shell to search around the ocean floor, but in fact what you’re seeing is a foot. This foot, longer than the clam’s shell, helps them dig in the sand on the ocean floor. ● Stars don’t really twinkle. “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” makes us think the stars are sparkling (闪烁的), but it’s actually a “space mirage (幻景)”. The light from stars is steady, but Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) makes them seem to twinkle. ● ______ On top of sleeping, eating and pooping, babies spend plenty of their time crying. However, they don’t produce tears right away. That ability takes a while to develop, which is why parents won’t start to see actual teardrops form until their baby is between two weeks and three months old. 49. How do kangaroo mice take in water? A. They don’t need water. B. They eat seeds. C. They bath in water. D. They breathe wet air. 50. What do we know about the clam? A. Its foot is longer than its shell. B. Its tongue helps it dig sand. C. It has a big tongue. D. It doesn’t often show its foot. 51. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “steady”? A. 强烈的 B. 不真实的 C. 不变的 D. 闪烁的 52. Which of the following is suitable for the missing title on the line? A. Babies are born with natural skills. B. Not all babies are born crying. C. Newborn babies like to cry. D. Newborn babies don’t cry tears. 【答案】49. B 50. A 51. C 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了更格卢鼠不喝水、蛤蜊有脚、星星不发光、新生儿哭的时候没有眼泪四个科普知识。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It…doesn’t need to drink water…by getting all the water it needs from the seeds it eats.”可知更格卢鼠不需要喝水，但从吃的种子当中获取它们所需要的水。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This foot, longer than the clam’s shell”可知蛤蜊的脚要比它的壳更长。故选A。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“…but it’s actually a ‘space mirage (幻景)’”和“but Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) makes them seem to twinkle.”可知星光本身不会闪烁，之所以闪烁是因为大气层的缘故，也就是说来自星星的光是稳定不变的。故选C。 【52题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“On top of sleeping, eating and pooping, babies spend plenty of their time crying. However, they don’t produce tears right away”可知新生儿哭的时候是没有眼泪的，D项所述符合段落大意可做该段标题。故选D。 F Have you learned about axial symmetry (轴对称) in math? If a city shows axial symmetry, its central axis is the key line. In July, 2024, the “Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital (北京中轴线—中国理想都城秩序的杰作)” was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, becoming China’s 59th World Heritage Site. The Beijing Central Axis has a group of buildings and historical sites (历史遗迹) that shape Beijing’s old city. Running 7.8 kilometers from north to south in central Beijing, this area includes 15 key parts, such as the Bell and Drum Towers in the north and Yongdingmen Gate in the south. The building of the Beijing Central Axis began in the 13th century and took shape in the 16th century. According to Liu Zhou, director of the National Heritage Center at Tsinghua University, this idea of city planning dates back to the Kaogongji (《考工记》), written before 221 BC. This book explains how to plan a capital city. The Beijing Central Axis shows traditional Chinese ideas of “zhong” and “he”. For example, the royal palace was placed at the center, with other important buildings placed around it to create a sense of harmony (和谐感). “Beijing’s unique (独一无二的) and great order is created by this central axis,” said Liang Sicheng (1901—1972), a famous Chinese architect (建筑师). 53. When was Beijing Central Axis added to the UNESCO World Heritage List? (不超过5个单词) _____________________________ 54. Where does the idea of the capital city planning come from? (不超过5个单词) _____________________________ 55. Why were other important buildings placed around the royal palace? (不超过10个单词) _____________________________ 【答案】53. In July, 2024. 54. The Kaogongji./From the Kaogongji. 55. To create a sense of harmony. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了北京中轴线的相关信息。 【53题详解】 根据“In July, 2024, the “Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital (北京中轴线—中国理想都城秩序的杰作)” was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List”可知，在2024年7月，“北京中轴线”被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》。故填In July, 2024. 【54题详解】 根据“this idea of city planning dates back to the Kaogongji (《考工记》), written before 221 BC.”可知，这种城市规划的理念来自《考工记》。故填The Kaogongji./From the Kaogongji. 【55题详解】 根据“For example, the royal palace was placed at the center, with other important buildings placed around it to create a sense of harmony (和谐感).”可知，其他重要建筑围绕皇宫的目的是为了创造和谐感，故填To create a sense of harmony. 第四部分 写作(共两大题，满分25分) IX.单词拼写(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

Visiting the Great Wall of China? Very “city”. Riding a bike down Shanghai’s Anfu Road? Quite “city”. If you don’t get it, let me explain it to you. The popularity of “City bu city?” has risen on the Internet these days. You can use it to describe whether someone, or something is urban (都市的) and modern or not. “City bu city?” was first used by American blogger Paul Mike Ashton. He has lived in Shanghai with his sister for years. His name on the Internet is “Bao Bao Xiong”. He likes sharing travel experiences in China on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Ashton became popular after he shared a video of him asking his sister “City bu city?” on the Great Wall. The word “city” itself has now taken on a new meaning as an adjective. Ashton himself says that it describes something that happens in the city, but it can also be “something that gives you a great love for life”. In recent years, a large number of foreign tourists like Ashton have been sharing their experiences of visiting China online. Topics about travelling in China are becoming more and more popular. Now people around the world can learn more about different places of modern China and Chinese way of life. And all of these are shown in a more emotional (感性的), friendly and natural way. 39. Which country is “city bu city” said in? A. Britain. B. Germany. C. China. D. France. 40. Which of the following can NOT be described as “city”? A. Enjoying milk tea with friends. B. Travelling around Changsha. C. Staying up late for homework. D. Riding a bike down Shanghai’s Anfu Road. 41. What can you learn from the passage? A. Few foreign tourists like sharing their experiences online. B. More and more foreigners would like to travel in China. C. People can learn more about different places in ancient China. D. Creating a new meaning for a common word is Aston’s great hobby. C Are you ready to play in a magical world filled with ancient Chinese legends (传说)? If so, then you’ll love the new video game called “Black Myth: Wukong”! This exciting game is from the famous Chinese story, Journey to the west, which tells the story of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. If you have a clear understanding of the story, you can win the game more easily. In this game, you’ll get to play as Sun Wukong himself. You’ll meet interesting characters and travel to different places, from green forests to high mountains. You can use his magic to fight against enemies with his famous stick and go through the story. Also, as you play “Black Myth: Wukong”, you’ll find it difficult to pass all the levels. You may stay on the same level for a long time, but never give up. On each level, you’ll enjoy different stories, and all of them are full of fun and excitement. One of the most exciting things about “Black Myth: Wukong” is that it’s China’s first 3A game. It becomes the most popular game in the world for its great graphics (画面), interesting stories and exciting fighting. The game’s production (制作) team travelled all over China to take photos of ancient buildings and relics (遗迹), and they also put some traditional music into the game for you to enjoy. “Black Myth: Wukong” is a wonderful game that combines (结合) ancient Chinese culture with exciting gameplay. It’s a great way to learn about Chinese culture and you can also have fun at the same time. 42. “Black Myth: Wukong” becomes the most popular game for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.

Journey to the West D William Wilkie Collins (1824—1889) was an English short-story writer. Most of his stories were seen in magazines. He was good at making just enough suspense (悬念) to keep the readers interested in the following part in the next week’s magazine. Make no mistake—The Moonstone is not a “short” story. Nearly three times as long as a detective novel, it will take some time to get to the bottom of it. But that does not make it boring. In fact, it just adds to its complicated plots. Told through 11 different voices, Wilkie Collins’ novel is a classic mystery that will leave you guessing and guessing again until the final pages. Written in 1868, using only what they know. That means the reader is always filling in the gaps as the story goes on, wanting to know what happens next. The story is about a large, yellow diamond called the moonstone. The stone is very sacred (神圣的) in India. It was first stolen from India in 1799. It finds its way to a young English girl named Rachel about 50 years later. But on the night of her 18th birthday, it is stolen again! From there the reader is taken on a crazy journey, through the eyes of all the different characters and suspects. That means suspects changes from character to character. For example, first you think the waitress is the thief, but she is soon found dead and a new character is suspected of stealing the diamond. The story also touches on the history between India and England. While the English are wondering who stole “their” diamond, the Indians are angry because the English stole it from them first.

In July, 2024, the “Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital (北京中轴线—中国理想都城秩序的杰作)” was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, becoming China’s 59th World Heritage Site. The Beijing Central Axis has a group of buildings and historical sites (历史遗迹) that shape Beijing’s old city. Running 7.8 kilometers from north to south in central Beijing, this area includes 15 key parts, such as the Bell and Drum Towers in the north and Yongdingmen Gate in the south. The building of the Beijing Central Axis began in the 13th century and took shape in the 16th century. According to Liu Zhou, director of the National Heritage Center at Tsinghua University, this idea of city planning dates back to the Kaogongji (《考工记》), written before 221 BC. This book explains how to plan a capital city. The Beijing Central Axis shows traditional Chinese ideas of “zhong” and “he”. For example, the royal palace was placed at the center, with other important buildings placed around it to create a sense of harmony (和谐感). “Beijing’s unique (独一无二的) and great order is created by this central axis,” said Liang Sicheng (1901—1972), a famous Chinese architect (建筑师). 53.
