How did these differences come about? There is no quick answer to this question. At first the languages in Britain and America were the same. In 1776 America became an independent country. After that the languages slowly began to change. For a long time, the words in America stayed the same, while the words in England changed. For example, 300 years ago the English talked about “fall”. Today most British people talk about“autumn”, but Americans still talk about “fall”. In 1960, as American music got more popular around the world, American English words about music styles became better known. This made the difference in vocabulary between American and British English more obvious. At the same time, British English and American English started borrowing words from other languages. For example, the British took “typhoon” from Chinese, while the Americans took “tornado” from Spanish. Noah Webster was the most important person in the history of American English. In 1828 Noah Webster published the first American dictionary. He wanted to make American English different from British English. So he changed the spelling of many words. Except for these differences in spelling, written English is almost the same in both British English and American English. With the economic development, the USA is playing an important part in the world. The differences between American English and British English are much greater in spoken language nowadays. However, most of the time people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other. 6. When did America stop being a part of England? A. In 1776. B. In 1828. C. In 1960. 7. What does the underlined word obvious mean in paragraph 3? A. private B. clear C. general 8 Why is British English different from American English? A. Britain decided to change the spelling of many American words. B. American English changed but British English stayed the same. C. The Americans and the British took different words from other languages. 9. Why did Noah Webster change the spelling of many words? A. To make American English easier to learn. B. To correct the mistakes in British English spelling. C. To set American English apart from British English. 10. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. 【答案】6. A 7. B 8. C 9. C 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了美式英语和英式英语的差异及其形成原因。文章从历史、文化、词汇借用等多个角度分析了两种英语的差异，并提到了诺亚·韦伯斯特在美式英语发展中的重要作用。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“In 1776 America became an independent country.”可知，美国在1776年成为一个独立国家，脱离了英国的统治。故选A。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“This made the difference in vocabulary between American and British English more obvious.”中的“obvious”一词，结合上下文可知，美国音乐词汇的流行使得美式英语和英式英语的词汇差异更加“明显”。故选B。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“British English and American English started borrowing words from other languages.”以及后文提到的例子“the British took ‘typhoon’ from Chinese, while the Americans took ‘tornado’ from Spanish.”可知，英式英语和美式英语从不同语言中借用了不同的词汇，导致了差异。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第5段“He wanted to make American English different from British English.

It quickly became the most downloaded free app on the Apple App Store worldwide, followed by ChatGPT from OpenAl, Gemini from Google and Liama 2 from Meta. This smart program can solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT, but it costs much less to build. The company spent only 5.58 million dollars that is 1/70 of Open AI’s cost, which shows that good ideas can beat big money. A CNBC report agreed, “Deepseek has swept across the U. S. AI market, because it can beat American’s best AI with less cost and less-powerful chips (芯片).” Usually, AIs need lots of prepared examples to improve, while Deepseek learns by itself. For example, when dealing with customer service questions or recognizing images (识别图像), Deepseek doesn’t need a lot of pre-made examples like old-style AIs. It just figures things out on its own and does a much better job. Therefore, it can help run on low-cost computers helping schools and small companies. These great advantages of Deepseek have attracted (吸引) wide attention. More and more international companies want to work with Chinese AI labs. This makes China’s influence in the international AI market bigger. At the same time, many foreign companies plan to spend more money on AI research to develop advanced (先进的) AI like Deepseek and get a place in this popular area. As a rising AI star, DeepSeek has a bright future. It can be changed for online shopping and medical imaging. Working with labs and cloud service provides will make it bigger, and the open-source community will help too. However, nothing is perfect in the world. 11. How many AI apps are mentioned in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. 12. How can we describe Deepseek according to the passage? A. Old-style and international. B. Expensive and powerful. C. Cheap and self-learning. 13. What can we infer from the passage? A. Deepseek will take ChatGPT’s place. B. Deepseek will face more competitions. C. Deepseek will spend more money in AI research. 14. What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A. The reasons why Deepseek has a bright future. B. The challenges or problems that Deepseek may face. C. The plans of Deepseek to partner with other AI companies. 15. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The challenges that AI may face. B. The development of the U. S. AI market. C. The introduction to an AI model from China. 【答案】11. A 12. C 13. B 14. B 15.

Now give me the flag”“I haven’t got a flag.” Frank said. “I thought you had it.” 【答案】44. height 45. have climbed 46. an 47. began 48. that 49. colder 50. finally 51. us 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Steven和Frank为了被历史铭记而决定攀登一座以高度和陡峭著称的山峰的故事。 【44题详解】 句意：这两个人决定攀登那座以其高度和陡峭而闻名的山。“its”是形容词性物主代词，后接名词，“high”是形容词，其名词形式为“height”。故填height。 【45题详解】 句意：但是人们怎么知道我们已经爬过它了呢？根据“already”可知，这里要用现在完成时态，其结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语“we”是复数，所以用“have climbed”。故填have climbed。 【46题详解】 句意：Frank同意这是一个很棒的主意，然后这两个人出发了。“excellent”是以元音音素开头的单词，“idea”是可数名词单数，表泛指要用不定冠词“an”。故填an。 【47题详解】 句意：他们走了三周到达山底，然后开始爬山。这里描述过去发生的动作，要用一般过去时态，“begin”的过去式是“began”。故填began。 【48题详解】 句意：爬山是如此艰难以至于他们一天只能爬几百英尺。“so...that...”是固定搭配，意为“如此……以至于……”。故填that。 【49题详解】 句意：山上冷得多。“much”修饰比较级，“cold”的比较级是“colder”。故填colder。 50题详解】 句意：我们终于爬上了世界上最高的山的山顶。这里需要一个副词修饰动词“climbed”，“final”是形容词，其副词形式为“finally”。故填finally。 【51题详解】 句意：我们会被人们知道，人们会记住我们。“remember”是动词，后接人称代词宾格，“we”的宾格是“us”。故填us。 第四节：完成句子（共6小题，每小题2分，计12分） 根据下面的情境完成句子，词数不限。请将答案填写在答题纸指定位置。 李华的学校正在推行“活力课间（break-time）计划”，他负责向全校学生宣传课间活动的重要性，并号召大家积极参与。 52. 现在学生被要求每天积极参加课间活动。 ________________________________________ 【答案】Now students are required to take an active part in break-time activities every day. 【解析】 【详解】现在：Now；学生：students；被要求：are required，因为句子描述的是现在的一般性情况，所以用一般现在时的被动语态；积极参加：take an active part in；课间活动：break-time activities；每天：every day。故填Now students are required to take an active part in break-time activities every day。 53. 避免课间一直待在教室里是很明智的，不是吗？ ________________________________________ 【答案】It’s wise to avoid staying in the classroom all the time during the break, isn’t it? 【解析】 【详解】“避免做某事”表达为“avoid doing sth.”，这里“避免一直待在教室里”就是“avoid staying in the classroom”；一直：all the time；课间：during the break。“做某事是明智的”常用“It’s wise to do sth.”这个句型，这里真正的主语是“to avoid staying in the classroom all the time during the break”，“it”是形式主语。句子整体是一般现在时，陈述一个普遍的观点。句末“isn’t it”是反意疑问句，前面陈述句是肯定形式，所以反意疑问部分用否定形式。 故填It’s wise to avoid staying in the classroom all the time during the break, isn’t it? 54. 我发现通过这些课间活动来减轻压力很有帮助。 ________________________________________ 【答案】I find it very helpful to relieve stress through these break-time activities. 【解析】 【详解】我：I；发现：find；这里使用“find+it+adj.+to do sth”结构，“it”作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的“to do sth”；很有帮助的：very helpful；减轻压力：relieve stress；通过：through；这些课间活动：these break-time activities。句子时态为一般现在时，语态为主动语态。故填I find it very helpful to relieve stress through these break-time activities。 55. 因此，老师呼吁学生将课间活动与身体健康联系起来。 ________________________________________ 【答案】Therefore, teachers appeal to students to link break-time activities with physical health. 【解析】 【详解】因此：Therefore；老师：teachers；呼吁某人做某事：appeal to sb. to do sth.；学生：students；将……与……联系起来：link... with...；课间活动：break-time activities；身体健康：physical health。句子时态为一般现在时，语态为主动语态，因为是在陈述一般性的情况。故填Therefore, teachers appeal to students to link break-time activities with physical health。 56. 你愿意加入我们来增加彼此的交流，改善身体健康吗？ ________________________________________ 【答案】Would you like to join us to enhance mutual communication and improve physical health? 【解析】 【详解】“愿意做某事”常见英文表达为“would like to do sth”，此句是一般疑问句，所以将“would”提前；加入我们：join us；增加：enhance；彼此的：mutual；交流：communication；“增加彼此的交流”即“enhance mutual communication”；改善：improve；身体健康：physical health。句子时态为一般现在时，语态为主动语态。故填Would you like to join us to enhance mutual communication and improve physical health? 57. 让我们想方设法让课间活动更加丰富多彩。 ________________________________________ 【答案】Let’s try (every possible way) to make our break time more colorful and interesting. 【解析】 【详解】本句使用祈使句式“让我们……Let’s + 动词原形”。“想方设法”可译为“try (every possible way)”，“让课间活动更加丰富多彩”是不定式做目的状语，其中“让”对应 “make”，“课间活动”译为“break time”，“丰富多彩”用形容词 “colorful and interesting”。故填Let’s try (every possible way) to make our break time more colorful and interesting. 第三部分：书面表达 第一节：阅读表达（共6小题，每小题2分，计12分） 阅读短文，回答问题。请将答案填写在答题纸指定位置。 A Timely Business April 15, 1860—A special day! The Pony Express (驿马快递), a fast mail delivery service (投递业务), successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California. This exciting journey began on April 3. The Pony Express hired skilled horse riders to carry letters and small packages (包裹). They promised delivery from one end of the run to the other in 10 days or less! In those days, communication over long distances was a challenge. Finally, there was a way to communicate with friends and family who live far away. You would not have to depend on slow boats or stagecoaches (公共马车). About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express. Its riders were mainly of small build, and many were teenagers. They were chosen for their light weight, which could make the horses run faster. A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart. At each station, riders would quickly change to a fresh horse to keep up the speed. Riders earned about $100 to $150 a month. The Pony Express worked day and night to make sure important letters and packages arrived on time. October 26, 1861—Sad news for the pony express. After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph (电报), a device that has changed long-distance communication. The Pony Express lost a lot of money and had to stop. Despite its short existence, it played an important role in American history. Before closing, the Pony Express set a record that delivering a package took just 7 days and 17 hours from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. 58. When did the pony express finish its first journey? (答案不超过5个词) ________________________________________ 59. What made up the pony express? ________________________________________ 60. How many stations would a rider of the pony express pass by in a day at least?(答案不超过2个词) ________________________________________ 61. Why did the pony express close its doors?(答案不超过7个词) ________________________________________ 62. Imagine you were the owner of the Pony Express in 1861. Facing the competition from the telegraph service, what method(s) would you think of to save the Pony Express business? Give your reason(s). ________________________________________ 63. How do you usually communicate with your far-away friends? Why? ________________________________________ 【答案】58. On April 15, 1860. 59. About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations. 60. Five/5 (stations). 61. Because of the opening of the telegraph. 62. I would focus on delivering packages that cannot be delivered by telegram because telegram can only deliver text messages. 63. I usually communicate with your far-away friends by Wechat because it is convenient. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了Pony Express (驿马快信) 的历史、运作方式以及它关闭的原因。 【58题详解】 根据第一段“April 15,1860—A special day! The Pony Express (驿马快递), a fast mail delivery service”可知，Pony Express在1860年4月15日完成了它的第一次旅程。故填On April 15, 1860. 【59题详解】 根据“About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express.”可知，Pony Express由大约180名骑手、400匹快马和190个驿站组成。故填About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations. 【60题详解】 根据“A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart.”骑手一天骑行75英里，驿站之间相距10到15英里，可知，骑手一天至少会经过5个驿站(75 ÷ 15 = 5)。故填Five/5 (stations). 【61题详解】 根据“After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph, a device that has changed long-distance communication.”可知，Pony Express关闭是因为电报的出现。故填Because of the opening of the telegraph. 【62题详解】 开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我将专注于运送无法通过电报递送的包裹，因为电报只能传递短信。故填I would focus on delivering packages that cannot be delivered by telegram because telegram can only deliver text messages. 【63题详解】 开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我通常用微信和你远方的朋友交流，因为它很方便。故填I usually communicate with your far-away friends by Wechat because it is convenient. 第二节：写作（共1小题，计15分） 64.

At first the languages in Britain and America were the same. In 1776 America became an independent country. After that the languages slowly began to change. For a long time, the words in America stayed the same, while the words in England changed. For example, 300 years ago the English talked about “fall”. Today most British people talk about“autumn”, but Americans still talk about “fall”. In 1960, as American music got more popular around the world, American English words about music styles became better known. This made the difference in vocabulary between American and British English more obvious. At the same time, British English and American English started borrowing words from other languages. For example, the British took “typhoon” from Chinese, while the Americans took “tornado” from Spanish. Noah Webster was the most important person in the history of American English. In 1828 Noah Webster published the first American dictionary. He wanted to make American English different from British English. So he changed the spelling of many words. Except for these differences in spelling, written English is almost the same in both British English and American English. With the economic development, the USA is playing an important part in the world. The differences between American English and British English are much greater in spoken language nowadays. However, most of the time people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other. 6. When did America stop being a part of England? A. In 1776. B. In 1828. C. In 1960. 7. What does the underlined word obvious mean in paragraph 3? A. private B. clear C. general 8. Why is British English different from American English? A. Britain decided to change the spelling of many American words. B. American English changed but British English stayed the same. C. The Americans and the British took different words from other languages. 9 Why did Noah Webster change the spelling of many words? A. To make American English easier to learn. B. To correct the mistakes in British English spelling. C. To set American English apart from British English. 10. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. C On January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named Chinese Hedge Fund High-Flyer made a new AI called Deepseek. It quickly became the most downloaded free app on the Apple App Store worldwide, followed by ChatGPT from OpenAl, Gemini from Google and Liama 2 from Meta. This smart program can solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT, but it costs much less to build. The company spent only 5.58 million dollars that is 1/70 of Open AI’s cost, which shows that good ideas can beat big money. A CNBC report agreed, “Deepseek has swept across the U. S. AI market, because it can beat American’s best AI with less cost and less-powerful chips (芯片).” Usually, AIs need lots of prepared examples to improve, while Deepseek learns by itself. For example, when dealing with customer service questions or recognizing images (识别图像), Deepseek doesn’t need a lot of pre-made examples like old-style AIs. It just figures things out on its own and does a much better job. Therefore, it can help run on low-cost computers helping schools and small companies. These great advantages of Deepseek have attracted (吸引) wide attention. More and more international companies want to work with Chinese AI labs. This makes China’s influence in the international AI market bigger. At the same time, many foreign companies plan to spend more money on AI research to develop advanced (先进的) AI like Deepseek and get a place in this popular area. As a rising AI star, DeepSeek has a bright future. It can be changed for online shopping and medical imaging. Working with labs and cloud service provides will make it bigger, and the open-source community will help too. However, nothing is perfect in the world. 11. How many AI apps are mentioned in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. 12. How can we describe Deepseek according to the passage? A. Old-style and international. B. Expensive and powerful. C. Cheap and self-learning. 13. What can we infer from the passage? A. Deepseek will take ChatGPT’s place. B. Deepseek will face more competitions. C. Deepseek will spend more money in AI research. 14. What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A. The reasons why Deepseek has a bright future. B. The challenges or problems that Deepseek may face. C. The plans of Deepseek to partner with other AI companies. 15. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The challenges that AI may face. B. The development of the U. S. AI market. C. The introduction to an AI model from China. 第二节：短文还原（共5小题，每小题1.5分，计7.5分） 阅读短文，将方框中的句子还原到文章当中使短文内容完整。有一项为多余选项。请将答案按编号涂卡。 Leopards (非洲豹) are part of the cat family.
