Ring! Ring! I quickly got dressed and went downstairs. I kept telling myself, “I must finish my first novel! I must do it!”
But the thought of reading English made me break out in a cold sweat.“It’s so unfair!” My thoughts grew more and more intense. Then, I heard some footsteps. It was mom.“Are you okay, darling?” she spoke in her soft but strict voice. In a fit of anger, I shouted, “NO! I never wanted to learn English!” Seeing her shocked and sad face, I immediately regretted it, ran back to my room and locked myself in it.
After a long time, I opened my door and was surprised to discover mom standing in front of me. She said she should never have pushed me so hard. This was the first time my mom had said sorry to me. I froze and was shocked but I felt my mom’s love and her hopes for me to become a good student. So I decided to run downstairs again and pick up my first novel, Charlotte’s Web.

C
Have you taken a gap day before? It’s a new concept on social media recently, different from a gap year. A gap day means an extremely brief period of relaxation and escape from everyday routine. After resting, people will continue to bury themselves in the busy pace of normal life.
Apart from gap days, other similar expressions have made a hit on the Internet, like city walk, dazi and so on. This growing trend of creating new phrases for something otherwise ordinary and common has caused heated discussion.
Some people think these kinds of new phrases better please people’s mindsets, showing their enthusiasm. “For example, the common expression taking a walk is neutral (中性的). Now city walk is the positive version of it, meaning ‘to explore the city with a curious mind’,” Zhou Yaokai, an 18-year-old from China West Normal University, said. “It’s the same with gap day. Instead of lying flat, people are actively trying to balance their stress and life, which is a good approach.”
Others disagree, however, and think that it’s simply just a kind of “sugaring up”, satisfying one’s need for showing off. For example, city walk is the same as taking a walk basically. But by calling it a city walk, people feel like they are doing something fancier than it actually is, said Wu Ruilin, an 18-year-old from Chengdu. He is concerned that the promotion of such fancy phrases may cover the risks behind it, such as security. For example, as the term dazi gains popularity on social media, some young people are searching for dazi in different life aspects that are normally enjoyed alone or with close friends, like traveling and games. “They may have forgotten and ignored that most dazi are just strangers who share similar interests. That may bring problems for us,” said Wu.
Despite different views, they have already taken root in our daily lives. So what we need to do is keep a level head and don’t overemphasize them.
8. What can be concluded about gap day from the text?
A. It refreshes people in busy life.
B. It is a long vacation for people to relax.
C. It went viral several years ago.
D. It is a new lifestyle replacing the old one.
9. Why do people prefer these newly-created phrases?
A. They could attract people’s attention.
B. They are neutral and objective.
C. They could rid people of stressful life.
D. They show people’s passion for life.
10. What does the underlined phrase “sugaring up” probably mean?
A. Covering something against the truth.
B. Making something look or sound better.
C. Covering something with layers of sugar.
D. Making something easier to understand.
11. What does Wu Ruilin think of the new phrases?
A. They may cause people to be over-confident.
B. They are useful for people to show their creativity.
C. They are fancier phrases than they actually are.
D. They may mislead people and bring potential risks.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文,阐述了社交媒体上出现的一些新词汇如“gap day”等引发的热议,有人认为这些新词汇体现人们的积极心态,也有人认为这是一种过度美化,可能带来风险。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A gap day means an extremely brief period of relaxation and escape from everyday routine. After resting, people will continue to bury themselves in the busy pace of normal life(gap day意味着从日常生活中短暂地放松和逃离。休息之后,人们将继续投入到忙碌的正常生活节奏中)”可知,gap day能让忙碌生活中的人们得到放松。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Some people think these kinds of new phrases better please people’s mindsets, showing their enthusiasm.(一些人认为这些新短语更好地迎合了人们的心态,显示出他们的热情)”可知,人们喜欢这些新创造的短语是因为它们显示出人们对生活的热情。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Others disagree, however, and think that it’s simply just a kind of “sugaring up”, satisfying one’s need for showing off. For example, city walk is the same as taking a walk basically. But by calling it a city walk, people feel like they are doing something fancier than it actually is(然而,其他人不同意,他们认为这只是一种“sugaring up”,满足某人炫耀的需求。例如,city walk基本上和散步是一样的。但是通过称其为city walk,人们感觉他们正在做比实际更高级的事情)”可知city walk基本上和散步是一样的,但是通过称其为city walk,人们感觉他们正在做比实际更高级的事情,可推理出这里是说这些新词汇让原本普通的事情看起来更好,所以“sugaring up”的意思是使某事看起来或听起来更好。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“He is concerned that the promotion of such fancy phrases may cover the risks behind it, such as security.(他担心这种华丽辞藻的推广可能掩盖其背后的风险,如安全风险)”可知,Wu Ruilin认为这些新短语可能误导人们并带来潜在风险。故选D项。

Food waste is one of Hong Kong’s most serious issues, causing the city to overflow with not only non-biodegradable single-use plastics and other non-recyclable goods but also uneaten food. According to the Hong Kong Environment and Ecology Bureau, up to 40% of the food consumed in the city is thrown away, resulting in an estimated 3,500 tonnes of food waste each day. The problem of food waste goes way beyond Hong Kong, with significant economic and environmental impact worldwide.
But what if this food waste is turned into clothes dye (染料)? Hong Kong-based company Dyelicious, is tackling the city’s food waste problem by transforming it into rich colors through a process known as natural food dyeing. Unlike a typical clothing factory, which may emit harmful substances into rivers and oceans, the company claims that its workshops use kitchen waste to produce colors that degrade naturally and do not pollute the environment.
Since 2017, Dyelicious has hosted almost 900 workshops, attracting 10,000 participants and transforming 700 tonnes of food waste from landfills in Hong Kong. In the workshops, they teach people how to dye different things like clothes, hats, and bags with dyes made from leftover foods such as blue color from red cabbage, brown from tea and coffee, purple from sweet potato and more.
Dyelicious co-founders, Eric Cheung and Winnie Ngai, came up with the idea 12 years ago. Eric was motivated to investigate how food waste might be used to color cloth after spilling curry on a white shirt and being unable to remove the yellow mark.
Dyelicious has worked with well-known businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprints, sourcing waste from Adidas, Zara, Towngas, Starbucks, and Calbee. In addition, the company works with schools to replace chemical paints with environmentally friendly alternatives and organizes workshops for families around Hong Kong.
Food waste is a global issue. Thankfully, innovative solutions-based companies like Dyelicious are dealing with the food waste problem and up-cycling them into something useful. People can also take some individual measures.
12. What can we learn about Hong Kong in the first paragraph?
A. It faces multiple waste problems.
B. It has problems with non-recyclable plastics.
C. Food waste is the most serious issue.
D. 3500 tonnes of food waste is caused per year.
13. What does Dyelicious do to help with food waste?
A. It recycles waste from different cities.
B. It turns food waste into natural clothing dyes.
C. It organizes workshops for families worldwide.
D. It teaches people to make clothes with leftovers.
14. What inspired Eric to get the idea of natural dyeing?
A. Much witness to food waste.
B. Accidental curry spill on his shirt.
C. Knowledge from workshops.
D. Inspiration from clothing factories.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Hong Kong: The Battlefield Against Food Waste.
B. Food waste: The Common Problem and a Reformation.
C. Eric Cheung: The Man Behind the Food Waste Innovation.
D. Dyelicious: The Pioneer of Food Waste to Colorful Solutions.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,讲述了香港面临食物浪费等多种垃圾问题,香港的Dyelicious公司将食物垃圾转化为天然染料来解决食物垃圾问题,并介绍了该公司的相关情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Food waste is one of Hong Kong’s most serious issues, causing the city to overflow with not only non-biodegradable single-use plastics and other non-recyclable goods but also uneaten food.(食物浪费是香港最严重的问题之一,这使得香港不仅充斥着不可生物降解的一次性塑料和其他不可回收物品,还有未食用的食物)”可知,香港面临多种垃圾问题。故选A项。
【13题详解】

Hong Kong-based company Dyelicious, is tackling the city’s food waste problem by transforming it into rich colors through a process known as natural food dyeing.(但如果这些食物垃圾被转化为衣服染料呢?总部位于香港的Dyelicious公司正在通过一种被称为天然食物染色的过程将食物垃圾转化为丰富的颜色来解决城市的食物垃圾问题)”可知,Dyelicious公司将食物垃圾转化为天然衣物染料来解决食物垃圾问题。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Eric was motivated to investigate how food waste might be used to color cloth after spilling curry on a white shirt and being unable to remove the yellow mark.(在白衬衫上溅上咖喱酱且无法去除黄色污渍后,Eric有了探索如何用食物垃圾给布料染色的动力)”可知,Eric是因为咖喱意外溅到他的衬衫上才有了天然染色的想法。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Food waste is one of Hong Kong’s most serious issues, causing the city to overflow with not only non-biodegradable single-use plastics and other non-recyclable goods but also uneaten food.

Good listening is one of the most important things we can do to improve our relationships and potentially even change people’s minds. So, what can we do to become better listeners?
Before starting your conversation, remove any distractions in the environment. ___16___. One study showed that even the visible presence of a phone made conversations feel less effective and satisfying to those involved.

Researchers have found that merely smiling and nodding during a conversation doesn’t quite work. ___18___. For instance, turn your body toward the speaker during a conversation. If you turn away from the speaker, then it may look like you’re eager to leave.
Another great way to show your understanding is by summarizing what you just heard. Once the person has finished speaking, you can show them that you were listening by summarizing a key point or idea they shared. ___19___.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道,文章主要讲述了联合国教科文组织周三正式宣布将中国人庆祝传统新年的春节及其相关社会实践认定为人类非物质文化遗产,并介绍了春节的意义、传承方式以及在中国和世界文化遗产方面的相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:联合国教科文组织周三正式宣布将中国人庆祝传统新年的春节及其相关社会实践认定为人类非物质文化遗产。这里需要一个副词来修饰动词“announced”,“official”的副词形式是“officially”,表示“正式地”,故填officially。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:春节,也被称为中国新年,标志着农历的第一天。空白处在句子中作定语,因与其逻辑主语The Spring Festival之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,使用过去分词,故填known。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:它包含了大量的传统知识,并以社区组织的公共活动为特色。空白处在句子中谓语,主语It指代The Spring Festival,为第三人称单数,且句子描述的是客观事实,要用一般现在时,所以feature要用第三人称单数形式features,故填features。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它深深植根于中国传统,是中国社会最重要的文化庆典之一。“one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 名词复数”是固定短语,表示“最……的……之一”,“most significant”是最高级形式,所以前面要加定冠词the,故填the。
【40题详解】
考查时态和被动语态。句意:联合国教科文组织指出,传统知识和习俗是通过家庭、社区和教育系统传承下来的。“the traditional knowledge and customs”与“pass”之间是被动关系,因句子描述的是客观事实,要用一般现在时的被动语态,主语“the traditional knowledge and customs”是复数,所以be动词用are,故填are passed。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这个节日不仅是一种庆祝活动,也是人与自然和谐的象征,它提供了一种文化认同感。此处是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是The festival,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,所以用关系代词 which引导该从句,故填which。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:它有助于在粮食安全和教育等领域的可持续发展。空白处在句子中作宾语,使用名词,故填development。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:此外,它在提高环境意识方面也起着关键作用。“play a role in...” 是固定短语,意为“在……中起作用”,所以这里应填介词in,故填in。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他强调,春节是中国最重要的传统节日,象征着中国人民对美好生活的向往。空白处在句子中做状语,且与其逻辑主语symbolize之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,使用现在分词,故填symbolizing。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:春节也是全家人团聚的最重要时刻。空白处在句子中作定语,且表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作,所以这里要用动词不定式,故填to get。

47. 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。
I am a happy grandma with a strikingly beautiful one-year-old granddaughter who has youthful appearance against dramatically with my own, weathered by 83 years of life’s trials. I also live a satisfying life with a kind-hearted, quick-witted neighbour, Anna, who is always ready to help others.
One peaceful day, I was left alone to look after my granddaughter. The noon sun cast a warm glow. At one o’clock, the baby was peacefully sleeping, while I was enjoying my favorite snack—a banana—and listening to the radio. As I took a bite, four brand-new and costly false teeth unexpectedly broke loose, piercing (扎) through my tongue. At the same time, a piece of banana got stuck in my throat, making it hard for me to take out the teeth, and my tongue started bleeding a lot.
Just to make things even worse, my dear granddaughter began to cry from her bed, wanting to be lifted, fed, and played with. With the banana making its way down my throat, desperation set in. Why not call for an ambulance? The answer was simple—I couldn’t speak, trapped in this strange situation.
As the chaos (混乱) unfolded, panic welled up inside me. I kept an eye on the door, hoping for someone to come to our aid soon. The cries of my granddaughter grew louder and louder, and the fear of her face turning blue while I struggled with the banana annoying me. When I looked in the mirror, I saw that my face was changing from purple to a very scary black color.
In these serious situations, the doorbell rang, making me walk slowly and carefully to it, battling to maintain my balance and struggle against the approaching lack of oxygen. With every part of my being, I hoped eagerly for the person on the other side to be a quick thinker, someone who could immediately grasp what’s really wrong of the situation.
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。
To my relief, a familiar face came into my sight.

“Stay and rest. I will check the crying baby,” Anna said and hurried to the bedroom.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To my relief, a familiar face came into my sight. It was Anna, a quick thinker I had expected. She took one look at me and immediately sensed the gravity of the situation. Without a word, she reached out and carefully removed the false teeth from my tongue, then helped me clear the banana from my throat. I gasped for air, my body trembling with the aftershock of the near-death experience. A sense of relief flooded over Anna’s heart. At the same time, the baby wouldn’t stop crying.
“Stay and rest. I will check the crying baby,” Anna said and hurried to the bedroom. Anna fetched the baby from the bed and held the little one in her arms, gently rocking and comforting her. The baby stopped crying gradually. After a little while, the beautiful little one fell asleep, lying peacefully in Anna’s arms. Seeing the peaceful face, I felt an overwhelming gratitude towards Anna. Anna stayed with us for the rest of the day, ensuring our well-being. That incident made me realize how fortunate I was to have such a wonderful neighbor.

Ring! Ring! I quickly got dressed and went downstairs. I kept telling myself, “I must finish my first novel! I must do it!”
But the thought of reading English made me break out in a cold sweat.“It’s so unfair!” My thoughts grew more and more intense. Then, I heard some footsteps. It was mom.“Are you okay, darling?” she spoke in her soft but strict voice. In a fit of anger, I shouted, “NO! I never wanted to learn English!” Seeing her shocked and sad face, I immediately regretted it, ran back to my room and locked myself in it.
After a long time, I opened my door and was surprised to discover mom standing in front of me. She said she should never have pushed me so hard. This was the first time my mom had said sorry to me. I froze and was shocked but I felt my mom’s love and her hopes for me to become a good student. So I decided to run downstairs again and pick up my first novel, Charlotte’s Web.
As a classic children’s novel, the story is a heartwarming tale of friendship and loyalty, which centered around a young pig named Wilbur and his unlikely friendship with a spider, Charlotte. Although reading it in English was a bit of challenge for me, I was still touched by the book. The bond between Wilbur and Charlotte shows the importance of helping others. It reminds me of those moments when my mom was supporting me during my learning journey. Besides, Wilbur’s journey highlights finding self-worth.
Reading this book not only increased my reading confidence but also made me understand that everyone has different sides and can change with love and care.

A. Confident. B. Carefree. C. Stressed. D. Regretful.
5. Why did the author decide to read the novel finally?
A He was forced by his mom.
B. He needed a solution in this novel.
C. He accepted his mom’s apology.

C. Lose your temper; lose your family.
D. Choose a book as you choose a friend.

Have you taken a gap day before? It’s a new concept on social media recently, different from a gap year. A gap day means an extremely brief period of relaxation and escape from everyday routine. After resting, people will continue to bury themselves in the busy pace of normal life.
Apart from gap days, other similar expressions have made a hit on the Internet, like city walk, dazi and so on. This growing trend of creating new phrases for something otherwise ordinary and common has caused heated discussion.
Some people think these kinds of new phrases better please people’s mindsets, showing their enthusiasm. “For example, the common expression taking a walk is neutral (中性的). Now city walk is the positive version of it, meaning ‘to explore the city with a curious mind’,” Zhou Yaokai, an 18-year-old from China West Normal University, said. “It’s the same with gap day. Instead of lying flat, people are actively trying to balance their stress and life, which is a good approach.”
Others disagree, however, and think that it’s simply just a kind of “sugaring up”, satisfying one’s need for showing off. For example, city walk is the same as taking a walk basically. But by calling it a city walk, people feel like they are doing something fancier than it actually is, said Wu Ruilin, an 18-year-old from Chengdu. He is concerned that the promotion of such fancy phrases may cover the risks behind it, such as security. For example, as the term dazi gains popularity on social media, some young people are searching for dazi in different life aspects that are normally enjoyed alone or with close friends, like traveling and games. “They may have forgotten and ignored that most dazi are just strangers who share similar interests. That may bring problems for us,” said Wu.
Despite different views, they have already taken root in our daily lives. So what we need to do is keep a level head and don’t overemphasize them.
8. What can be concluded about gap day from the text?
A. It refreshes people in busy life.
B. It is a long vacation for people to relax.
C. It went viral several years ago.
D. It is a new lifestyle replacing the old one.
9. Why do people prefer these newly-created phrases?
A. They could attract people’s attention.
B. They are neutral and objective.
C. They could rid people of stressful life.
D. They show people’s passion for life.
10. What does the underlined phrase “sugaring up” probably mean?
A. Covering something against the truth.
B. Making something look or sound better.
C. Covering something with layers of sugar.
D. Making something easier to understand.
11. What does Wu Ruilin think of the new phrases?
A. They may cause people to be over-confident.
B. They are useful for people to show their creativity.
C. They are fancier phrases than they actually are.
D. They may mislead people and bring potential risks.

Food waste is one of Hong Kong’s most serious issues, causing the city to overflow with not only non-biodegradable single-use plastics and other non-recyclable goods but also uneaten food. According to the Hong Kong Environment and Ecology Bureau, up to 40% of the food consumed in the city is thrown away, resulting in an estimated 3,500 tonnes of food waste each day. The problem of food waste goes way beyond Hong Kong, with significant economic and environmental impact worldwide.
But what if this food waste is turned into clothes dye (染料)? Hong Kong-based company Dyelicious, is tackling the city’s food waste problem by transforming it into rich colors through a process known as natural food dyeing. Unlike a typical clothing factory, which may emit harmful substances into rivers and oceans, the company claims that its workshops use kitchen waste to produce colors that degrade naturally and do not pollute the environment.
Since 2017, Dyelicious has hosted almost 900 workshops, attracting 10,000 participants and transforming 700 tonnes of food waste from landfills in Hong Kong. In the workshops, they teach people how to dye different things like clothes, hats, and bags with dyes made from leftover foods such as blue color from red cabbage, brown from tea and coffee, purple from sweet potato and more.
Dyelicious co-founders Eric Cheung and Winnie Ngai, came up with the idea 12 years ago. Eric was motivated to investigate how food waste might be used to color cloth after spilling curry on a white shirt and being unable to remove the yellow mark.
Dyelicious has worked with well-known businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprints, sourcing waste from Adidas, Zara, Towngas, Starbucks, and Calbee. In addition, the company works with schools to replace chemical paints with environmentally friendly alternatives and organizes workshops for families around Hong Kong.
Food waste is a global issue. Thankfully, innovative solutions-based companies like Dyelicious are dealing with the food waste problem and up-cycling them into something useful. People can also take some individual measures.
12. What can we learn about Hong Kong in the first paragraph?
A. It faces multiple waste problems.
B. It has problems with non-recyclable plastics.
C. Food waste is the most serious issue.
D. 3500 tonnes of food waste is caused per year.
13. What does Dyelicious do to help with food waste?
A. It recycles waste from different cities.
B. It turns food waste into natural clothing dyes.
C. It organizes workshops for families worldwide.
D. It teaches people to make clothes with leftovers.
14. What inspired Eric to get the idea of natural dyeing?
A. Much witness to food waste.
B. Accidental curry spill on his shirt.
C. Knowledge from workshops.
D. Inspiration from clothing factories.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Hong Kong: The Battlefield Against Food Waste.
B. Food waste: The Common Problem and a Reformation.
C. Eric Cheung: The Man Behind the Food Waste Innovation.
D. Dyelicious: The Pioneer of Food Waste to Colorful Solutions.

47. 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。
I am a happy grandma with a strikingly beautiful one-year-old granddaughter who has youthful appearance against dramatically with my own, weathered by 83 years of life’s trials. I also live a satisfying life with a kind-hearted, quick-witted neighbour, Anna, who is always ready to help others.
One peaceful day, I was left alone to look after my granddaughter. The noon sun cast a warm glow. At one o’clock, the baby was peacefully sleeping, while I was enjoying my favorite snack—a banana—and listening to the radio. As I took a bite, four brand-new and costly false teeth unexpectedly broke loose, piercing (扎) through my tongue. At the same time, a piece of banana got stuck in my throat, making it hard for me to take out the teeth, and my tongue started bleeding a lot.
Just to make things even worse, my dear granddaughter began to cry from her bed, wanting to be lifted, fed, and played with. With the banana making its way down my throat, desperation set in. Why not call for an ambulance? The answer was simple—I couldn’t speak, trapped in this strange situation.
As the chaos (混乱) unfolded, panic welled up inside me. I kept an eye on the door, hoping for someone to come to our aid soon. The cries of my granddaughter grew louder and louder, and the fear of her face turning blue while I struggled with the banana annoying me. When I looked in the mirror, I saw that my face was changing from purple to a very scary black color.
In these serious situations, the doorbell rang, making me walk slowly and carefully to it, battling to maintain my balance and struggle against the approaching lack of oxygen. With every part of my being, I hoped eagerly for the person on the other side to be a quick thinker, someone who could immediately grasp what’s really wrong of the situation.
