Top Four Cities in Africa for a Great Vacation
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Getting around: Taxis are fine; walking is better.
Though Ethiopian food is familiar to a lot of people, on the streets of Addis, it’s all about coffee. Social life in Addis is built on its preparation and consumption. It’s a chance to sit down among a mostly local crowd and order a coffee.
Lusaka, Zambia
Getting around: Taxis are affordable.
This city is known for Victoria Falls. Small shops are lit at night, and they sell everything from newspapers to soft drinks. On the way, there is the outdoor Mingling Bar, where customers can enjoy a can of Original American Cola.
Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
Getting around: Taxis are cheap.
Abidjan’s 5 million people are spread out across four areas. When night falls, Yopougon is worth heading to. The roads are dusty in the part of Abidjan, but like many cities where living spaces are small, Abidjan lives its life on its streets. Just to the east of Yopougon is the Plateau, the business area. This area’s modernist building is great and mostly the result of a cocoa-and coffee-based economic development in the 1950s and 1960s.
Dakar, Senegal
Getting around: Taxis are plentiful.
Possibly the best thing about Dakar is its beach restaurants: special collections of tables and chairs where customers are served the freshly caught fish. Servers will often offer to run out to a nearby corner store to buy beer and bring it to the table.
1. Where is Victoria Falls?
A. In Abidjan. B. In Addis Ababa. C. In Lusaka. D. In Dakar.
2. What contributes most to the Plateau’s modernist building?
A. Art. B. Coffee business. C. History. D. Population.

Australia’s island state of Tasmania has an online platform (平台) for what it calls “Odd Jobs” — a number of jobs that are not commonly found. By far, the cutest job is from one of the island’s wildlife parks, asking for a one-day “wombat (毛鼻袋熊) walker”.
East Coast Nature world is home to a variety of famous Australian animals, such as kangaroos, Tasmanian devils and possums. It’s also home to a number of wombats — a small, bear-like animal that’s native to Australia. And the park is looking for someone to help look after the park’s wombats by taking them out for a morning walk. The park says wombats need a daily morning walk to keep them happy and healthy during the winter months.
As well as going for a walk with the wombats, part of the wombat walker’s job will be to make sure the animals actually wake up for it. This is because, according to the park, some of the wombats would sometimes rather have a sleep-in. Other responsibilities include giving the wombats snacks during the walk, and making sure they show good behavior by stopping them from chasing birds. Anyone who wants to apply for the job must be kind, patient, and love’ animals.
4. What is the online platform used for?
A. Sharing fun stories. B. Organizing exciting activities.
C. Posting unusual jobs. D. Discussing daily life.
5. What is important for a wombat to be healthy in winter according to the park?

The mobile phone might be a great gift, but it is stopping young people communicating with the wider world and doing harm to their mental health. Should the young use mobile phones or not? It’s worth deep thinking.
Raleigh International, an adventure programme, has announced that it intends to ban smartphones in order to enable their youthful participants (参与者) to actually get to know each other a bit, instead of spending their evenings under the tent lit by a phone screen.
As people used to say there was a time when the whole point of travel was to come face-to-face with an unfamiliar world. Learning to adapt to that world was “character-building”, and an unfamiliar land was, in a sense, a training ground.
For example, the great twentieth-century explorer Freya Stark was a lone Western woman in far Arab lands without using a GPS and a mobile. Yet through all her years of travelling—and she was someone who travelled even in her 99th year—she learned to measure herself, and she learned to measure those she met.
We live in a time when there are not many people like Freya Stark. For Raleigh International participants, the communal (集体) experience without smartphones is important. A survey during an experiment of its mobile-free policy (政策) found that almost two thirds of them believed their mental health had improved as a result of being without their phones.
Raleigh International said that talking with people face to face leaves good memories on them, because these memories come from responding to the real people and places around them.
Now, going back to the question, it’s clear that with so many smartphones around, we should take advantage of the opportunity for face-to-face communication.
12. What does the underlined word “ban” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Improve the sales of. B. Change the style of.
C. Stop the use of. D. Bring in.
13. Why does the author mention Freya Stark in paragraph 4?
A. To support the author’s opinion. B. To show the uselessness of a GPS.
C. To explain the difficulty of living alone. D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
14. What is the finding of the experiment about the mobile-free policy?
A. It places more pressure on people. B. It makes people mentally healthier.
C. It leads to more productive work. D. It makes communication difficult.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Why Do the Young Like Mobile Phones?
B. Is It Good for Youth to Use Mobile Phones?
C. What Is the Impact of Mobile Phones on Travel?
D. How Can One Start Face-to-Face Cooperation?
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述青少年过度使用手机危害心理健康,应重视面对面交流。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文“in order to enable their youthful participants (参与者) to actually get to know each other a bit, instead of spending their evenings under the tent lit by a phone screen. (为了让年轻的参与者能够真正地相互了解一点,而不是在电话屏幕照亮的帐篷下度过他们的夜晚)”可知,这个项目为了让参与者互相了解,而非沉迷手机,因此项目会要求参与者停止使用手机,由此推断划线单词的含义是“禁用,停止使用”。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As people used to say there was a time when the whole point of travel was to come face-to-face with an unfamiliar world. Learning to adapt to that world was “character-building”, and an unfamiliar land was, in a sense, a training ground.(正如人们过去常说的那样,曾经有一段时间,旅行的全部意义就是面对面地面对一个陌生的世界。学习适应那个世界就是“塑造性格”,而在某种意义上,一个陌生的地方就是一个训练场)”和第四段“For example, the great twentieth-century explorer Freya Stark was a lone Western woman in far Arab lands without using a GPS and a mobile. Yet through all her years of travelling—and she was someone who travelled even in her 99th year—she learned to measure herself, and she learned to measure those she met. (例如,20世纪伟大的探险家弗雷娅·斯塔克(Freya Stark)是一个孤独的西方女性,在遥远的阿拉伯土地上,没有使用GPS和手机。然而,在她多年的旅行中——她甚至在99岁时还在旅行——她学会了衡量自己,也学会了衡量她遇到的人)”可知,通过Freya Stark的例子说明没有手机的时代,旅行能促进自我认知和人际理解,即举例的目的是为了支持作者的观点。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“A survey during an experiment of its mobile-free policy (政策) found that almost two thirds of them believed their mental health had improved as a result of being without their phones. (在一项关于无手机政策的实验中,一项调查发现,近三分之二的人认为,由于没有手机,他们的心理健康状况得到了改善)”可知,无手机政策的实验结果是三分之二参与者因不用手机而心理健康得到改善。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The mobile phone might be a great gift, but it is stopping young people communicating with the wider world and doing harm to their mental health. Should the young use mobile phones or not? It’s worth deep thinking. (手机可能是一个伟大的礼物,但它阻止了年轻人与更广阔的世界交流,并对他们的心理健康造成伤害。年轻人该不该用手机?这是值得深思的)”可知,全文围绕“青少年是否该用手机”展开,先指出现状,再通过案例和实验论证面对面交流的重要性,选项C“Is It Good for Youth to Use Mobile Phones (年轻人使用手机好吗?)?”呼应首段,可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。

These make them feel valued.(这也意味着要深思熟虑地理解和回应。当有人说话时,专注于他们的信息并密切关注。通过点头、保持眼神交流和提问来表明你对对话感兴趣。这让他们感到被重视。)”可知,这里讲要认真听别人说话。而D项“Listening is more than just hearing words(倾听不仅仅只是听说的话)”符合语境,选项中Listening与上文对应,more than just hearing words与下文例举的其它建议事项对应。所以本句有承上启下作用。故选D项。

Small gestures, like thanking someone for their help or recognizing their contributions, go a long way in building positive relationships.(通过准时并注意他们的界限来考虑他们的时间和个人空间。小动作,比如感谢别人的帮助或认可他们的贡献,对建立积极的关系大有裨益。)”可知,这里主要讲要多尊重对方和为对方考虑,而B项“Always treat others with kindness(始终以善意待人)”符合语境,与上文“Be respectful and considerate. (要尊重和体贴)”对应,有承上作用。故选B项。
【20题详解】

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1. 5分,满分15分)
语法填空
Learning a language is usually ____36____ (difference) from learning other subjects. It includes a lot of practice and follow-ups. When ____37____ (talk) about my personal experience, I would say that I have a rich experience in learning English ____38____ a second language.
I learned English for ten years starting from Grade Seven to graduation from university. After graduation, I felt that I should improve my language skills. Therefore, I made a lot of efforts personally to increase my fluency. Until now I still learn the language. Indeed, learning a language ____39____ (take) a lifetime.
I still remember my first English teachers ____40____ changed frequently (频繁地) in ____41____ beginning, but all of them had much in common — They used grammar-translation method. They used to write bilingual (双语) lists of words on board, and then we, as students, ____42____ (ask) to copy these lists and memorize them by heart. All teaching focused on reading and writing skills, but there were no ____43____ (activity) focusing on speaking or listening.
Now, I still don’t fully know how ____44____ (use) the English language like using idioms and the proper form of vocabulary. Idioms have many connotationst (言外意义) in the English language.

To my mind, I have not reached that point.
【答案】36. different
37. talking
38. as 39. takes
40. who##that
41. the 42. were asked
43. activities
44. to use 45. correctly
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”学习第二语言——英语的经历。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:学习一门语言通常不同于学习其他科目。它包括大量的练习和后续行动。空处应填形容词作表语,“be different from”为固定搭配,意为“与……不同”。故填different。
【37题详解】
考查状语从句的省略或非谓语动词。句意:当谈到我的个人经历时,我会说我在学习英语作为第二语言方面有丰富的经验。句子还原应为“When I was talking about my personal experience, I would say…”,当状语从句的主语与主句的主语相同,而且从句谓语动词含有be的形式时,可以将从句中相同的主语和be的形式省略;也可理解为talk与其逻辑主语I存在主动关系,故用所给动词的现在分词。故填talking。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。“as a second language”意为“作为第二外语”。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:的确,学习一门语言需要一生的时间。本句在描述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语是动名词短语learning a language,表示单数意义,谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填takes。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我还记得我的第一个英语老师,他们一开始经常更换,但他们都有很多共同点——他们使用语法翻译方法。本句为限制性定语从句,先行词为teachers,表示人,且从句中缺少主语,因此用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。“in the beginning”意为“刚开始”,为固定搭配。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意:他们过去常常在黑板上写下双语单词表,然后我们作为学生,被要求抄写这些单词表并记住它们。主语we(学生)是所给词ask的承受者,且动作发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,故填were asked。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:所有的教学都侧重于阅读和写作技能,但没有针对口语或听力的活动。此处为there be句型的主语,由于be用的是were,因此临近的名词需用相应的复数形式。故填activities。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,我仍然不完全知道如何使用英语语言,比如使用习语和正确的词汇形式。此处是“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构,为固定用法,在句中作宾语。故填to use。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:此外,我还应该更加努力地正确使用某些词汇。此处修饰动词use,应用提示词的副词形式。故填correctly。

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。
It was a warm holiday afternoon when I visited my friend’s house for a get-together for the first time. We had planned a day filled with fun activities, and I was excited about the promise of good food from my friend’s mom who was known for her cooking skills. My friend’s house was full of character, with its beautiful furniture and fine decorations.
After a delicious lunch, my friend and I were left to our own space, exploring the house and playing games. That’s when I found it — a football behind the door. As a crazy football fan, I couldn’t help but kick it around, momentarily forgetting that we were indoors, not on the sports field, and my friend joined me.
The hardwood floors echoed with each kick, and the ball seemed to have a life of its own as it rolled around the room. My friend laughed, avoiding the ball as it flew past, narrowly hitting a precious painting. With each kick, our excitement grew, and we lost ourselves in the joy of the game. That’s when it happened — one high kick sent the ball flying towards a fine vase (花瓶) on the living room shelf. The vase, a fine piece with unique designs, was my friend’s mom’s favorite.
The noise of the breaking vase filled the room as it fell onto the floor. Our laughter came to a sudden end as the vase cracked (破碎). We froze in fear with a fast beating heart. Our cheeks got red with shame. The crash had been loud, and we knew we were in trouble. My friend’s mom, frightened by the noise, ran out of her room.
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。
“Are you both OK?” she asked, her eyes scanning us for any signs of injury.

My friend and I offered to help clean up the mess.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“Are you both OK?” she asked, her eyes scanning us for any signs of injury. We shook our heads, still too afraid to speak. Before we could say sorry, she said, “It’s alright. Accidents are part of life. What’s important is that you’re not hurt. But next time, maybe find a bigger space to play football.” At that moment, I felt a wave of thankfulness. I knew we had made a mistake, but her immediate concern for us rather than the material loss warmed me. Then she went to get the cleaning tools for the mess.
My friend and I offered to help clean up the mess. Together, we picked up the pieces, and my friend’s mom shared stories about the vase, making the cleaning less regretful but more like a shared experience. I was grateful to my friend’s mom for her kindness, which made me feel less like a burden and more like a good guest. It was she who made me learn about the importance of being careful with my actions and the power of forgiveness.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者第一次去朋友家参加聚会,午饭后和朋友在室内踢足球,不小心踢碎了朋友妈妈最喜欢的花瓶,朋友妈妈听到响声后出来查看的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“‘你们俩还好吗?’她问道,眼睛扫视着我们,看有没有受伤的迹象。”可知,第一段可描写朋友妈妈看到花瓶碎了后的反应,她没有责怪“我们”,而是关心“我们”是否受伤,“我们”对此感到感激。
②由第二段首句内容“我和我的朋友主动提出帮忙收拾残局。”可知,第二段可描写“我们”主动帮忙清理碎片,朋友妈妈分享关于花瓶的故事,作者从这件事中体会到做事要小心以及宽容的力量。
2.续写线索:朋友妈妈询问是否受伤 ——朋友妈妈表示不责怪,反而关心——内心感激 ——主动帮忙清理 —— 朋友妈妈分享花瓶故事 ——体会到做事要小心和宽容的力量

Top Four Cities in Africa for a Great Vacation
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Getting around: Taxis are fine; walking is better.
Though Ethiopian food is familiar to a lot of people, on the streets of Addis, it’s all about coffee. Social life in Addis is built on its preparation and consumption. It’s a chance to sit down among a mostly local crowd and order a coffee.
Lusaka, Zambia
Getting around: Taxis are affordable.
This city is known for Victoria Falls. Small shops are lit at night, and they sell everything from newspapers to soft drinks. On the way, there is the outdoor Mingling Bar, where customers can enjoy a can of Original American Cola.
Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
Getting around: Taxis are cheap.
Abidjan’s 5 million people are spread out across four areas. When night falls, Yopougon is worth heading to. The roads are dusty in the part of Abidjan, but like many cities where living spaces are small, Abidjan lives its life on its streets. Just to the east of Yopougon is the Plateau, the business area. This area’s modernist building is great and mostly the result of a cocoa-and coffee-based economic development in the 1950s and 1960s.
Dakar, Senegal
Getting around: Taxis are plentiful.
Possibly the best thing about Dakar is its beach restaurants: special collections of tables and chairs where customers are served the freshly caught fish. Servers will often offer to run out to a nearby corner store to buy beer and bring it to the table.
1. Where is Victoria Falls?
A. In Abidjan. B. In Addis Ababa. C. In Lusaka. D. In Dakar.
2. What contributes most to the Plateau’s modernist building?
A. Art. B. Coffee business. C. History. D. Population.
3. What is special about the beach restaurants in Dakar?
A. They are self-service. B. They are all about coffee.
C. They serve freshly caught fish. D. They offer free Original American Cola.

Australia’s island state of Tasmania has an online platform (平台) for what it calls “Odd Jobs” — a number of jobs that are not commonly found. By far, the cutest job is from one of the island’s wildlife parks, asking for a one-day “wombat (毛鼻袋熊) walker”.
East Coast Nature world is home to a variety of famous Australian animals, such as kangaroos, Tasmanian devils and possums. It’s also home to a number of wombats — a small, bear-like animal that’s native to Australia. And the park is looking for someone to help look after the park’s wombats by taking them out for a morning walk. The park says wombats need a daily morning walk to keep them happy and healthy during the winter months.
As well as going for a walk with the wombats, part of the wombat walker’s job will be to make sure the animals actually wake up for it. This is because, according to the park, some of the wombats would sometimes rather have a sleep-in. Other responsibilities include giving the wombats snacks during the walk, and making sure they show good behavior by stopping them from chasing birds. Anyone who wants to apply for the job must be kind, patient, and love’ animals.
4. What is the online platform used for?
A. Sharing fun stories. B. Organizing exciting activities.
C. Posting unusual jobs. D. Discussing daily life.
5. What is important for a wombat to be healthy in winter according to the park?
A. Taking enough food. B. Taking a morning walk.
C. Staying in a warm place. D. Being with other kinds of animals.
6. What is a wombat allowed to do during the walk?
A. Eat snacks. B. Chase birds.
C. Have a good sleep. D. Climb up a tree.
7. Which is one of the requirements for a wombat walker?

Every year the Weifang International Kite Festival amazes visitors and netizens with innovative (创新的) kites, as “paper birds” of unimaginable designs keep appearing in the sky.
This year, 622 kite artists from 59 countries and regions took part in the event. There were a variety of activities, including daylight and night kite shows, a kite flying competition, an exhibition of kite-themed creative artworks and so on.
During the festival, visitors were amazed by many great and innovative kites on display. The longest one was a 280-meter-long Chinese dragon kite, while a 175-meter-long centipede kite took several people to control it while it was flying across the sky. Another giant kite, a whale, had to be flown by a team of a dozen men.
Many kites contained elements (元素) of traditional Chinese culture. The 50-meter-long kite of a phoenix was something special, together with the seventh fairy from Chinese legend.
Some people said the flying objects at the 40th Weifang International Kite Festival reminded them of the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, but they were hundreds of times bigger in scale and crazier.
Compared with the past festivals, this year’s event was highlighted (突出) by many innovations by both experienced and young kite makers.
The innovative kites presented this year brought many pleasant surprises to kite lovers all over the world, and will bring the people of China and other countries closer.

The mobile phone might be a great gift, but it is stopping young people communicating with the wider world and doing harm to their mental health. Should the young use mobile phones or not? It’s worth deep thinking.
Raleigh International, an adventure programme, has announced that it intends to ban smartphones in order to enable their youthful participants (参与者) to actually get to know each other a bit, instead of spending their evenings under the tent lit by a phone screen.
As people used to say there was a time when the whole point of travel was to come face-to-face with an unfamiliar world. Learning to adapt to that world was “character-building”, and an unfamiliar land was, in a sense, a training ground.
For example, the great twentieth-century explorer Freya Stark was a lone Western woman in far Arab lands without using a GPS and a mobile. Yet through all her years of travelling—and she was someone who travelled even in her 99th year—she learned to measure herself, and she learned to measure those she met.
We live in a time when there are not many people like Freya Stark. For Raleigh International participants, the communal (集体) experience without smartphones is important. A survey during an experiment of its mobile-free policy (政策) found that almost two thirds of them believed their mental health had improved as a result of being without their phones.
Raleigh International said that talking with people face to face leaves good memories on them, because these memories come from responding to the real people and places around them.
Now, going back to the question, it’s clear that with so many smartphones around, we should take advantage of the opportunity for face-to-face communication.
12. What does the underlined word “ban” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Improve the sales of. B. Change the style of.
C. Stop the use of. D. Bring in.
13. Why does the author mention Freya Stark in paragraph 4?
A. To support the author’s opinion. B. To show the uselessness of a GPS.
C. To explain the difficulty of living alone. D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
14. What is the finding of the experiment about the mobile-free policy?
A. It places more pressure on people. B. It makes people mentally healthier.
C. It leads to more productive work. D. It makes communication difficult.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Why Do the Young Like Mobile Phones?
B. Is It Good for Youth to Use Mobile Phones?
C. What Is the Impact of Mobile Phones on Travel?
D. How Can One Start Face-to-Face Cooperation?

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。
It was a warm holiday afternoon when I visited my friend’s house for a get-together for the first time. We had planned a day filled with fun activities, and I was excited about the promise of good food from my friend’s mom who was known for her cooking skills. My friend’s house was full of character, with its beautiful furniture and fine decorations.
After a delicious lunch, my friend and I were left to our own space, exploring the house and playing games. That’s when I found it — a football behind the door. As a crazy football fan, I couldn’t help but kick it around, momentarily forgetting that we were indoors, not on the sports field, and my friend joined me.
The hardwood floors echoed with each kick, and the ball seemed to have a life of its own as it rolled around the room. My friend laughed, avoiding the ball as it flew past, narrowly hitting a precious painting. With each kick, our excitement grew, and we lost ourselves in the joy of the game. That’s when it happened — one high kick sent the ball flying towards a fine vase (花瓶) on the living room shelf. The vase, a fine piece with unique designs, was my friend’s mom’s favorite.
The noise of the breaking vase filled the room as it fell onto the floor. Our laughter came to a sudden end as the vase cracked (破碎). We froze in fear with a fast beating heart. Our cheeks got red with shame. The crash had been loud, and we knew we were in trouble. My friend’s mom, frightened by the noise, ran out of her room.
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。
“Are you both OK?” she asked, her eyes scanning us for any signs of injury.
