B As everyone knows, English is very important today. It has been used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on the Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well, we will have more chances to succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed. But for myself, I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world. When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation. When I speak English, I can feel the confidence from my words. When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese… I love English, because it gives me a colorful dream. I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different countries and see many places of great interests. I dream that I can go to London, because it is the birthplace of English. I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the people who speak English. I hope that they can love our country like us. I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well. If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe, as I love English, it will love me too. I am sure that I will realize my dream one day! 24. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph? A. English is changing quickly. B. English has the largest speakers in the world. C. More and more people enjoy learning English. D. English is becoming increasingly important in our daily life. 25. Which of the following is not the reason why the author likes learning English? A. The author’s parents force him to study English. B. English is very important. C. English is very useful. D. The author likes English. 26. When the author reads English novels, he feels ______. A. pressed. B. anxious. C. pleased. D. confident. 27. What can we learn from the last but one paragraph? A. Loving others is very important. B. Loving English can make you successful. C. If you want to get love from others, you should first love others. D You should learn to respect others if you want to learn English well. C People of different nationalities seem to vary in their use of hand gestures, according to a study that seems to support the idea that Italians, in particular, “talk with their hands”. Maria Graziano and her colleague Marianne Gullberg, both at Lund University in Sweden, asked 12 people from Sweden and 12 from Italy to describe a video from the children’s TV show Pingu to a friend who hadn’t seen it, while examining their gestures. In the study, the Italians made an average of 22 gestures per 100 words of their speech, compared with the Swedes’ 11. But more interesting was the difference in the function of the gestures, says Graziano. The Swedes mostly used “referential gestures” to demonstrate the events of the story or the characters’ actions, for example showing a rolling pin (擀面杖) when describing baking. The Italians made these gestures as well, but also had more “pragmatic gestures” with which they commented on the story or introduced new information, such as a hand movement to indicate a new character. Currently, Barbara Tversky at Stanford University in California says that exactly why these results occurred is unclear, and she wants to see further research in larger groups of people with a more diverse mix of nationalities. A possible explanation is that different cultures’ understanding and explanation of short videos could lead to varying ways of organizing speech content and impact gesturing. Also, Graziano hopes to study the gestures used in different texts, and with different relationships between the speakers, to explore how various cultures use gestures to communicate and tell a story. “Gestures are produced in all languages and cultures, and they are not a mere decoration of speech; they are closely related to what we are saying and how we want to say it,” Graziano concluded. 28. How does the author develop Paragraph 2? A. By quoting a famous saying. B. By listing data. C. By giving a definition. D. By making predictions. 29. Swedes mostly used “referential gestures” to______. A. introduce new information B. express their own ideas C. show actions of the characters D. comment on an interesting story 30. Who will be involved in Tversky’s further research? A. People from more countries. B. People of various age groups. C. People from all walks of life. D. People with different hobbies. 31. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Gestures can help deliver a better speech. B. Why gestures are different in children’s TV shows. C. When gestures should be used in public speaking. D. Gestures may relate to nationalities. D Recently, the “city walk” has becoming popular among residents and tourists around China. On social platform, data shows that the number of related topic posts has increased by 700 percent over the past three months, and the total number of interactions has increased by more than 600 percent. A city walk is a type of city exploration that begins in the UK. Instead of visiting famous spots by cars or buses like regular tours, people walk through neighborhoods to experience daily life and discover small, interesting things that even a resident might not notice. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic (真实的) restaurants, and have a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. City walkers are a group of people with strong curiosity. They are eager to engage with the city they are visiting or live in, in their own way. By walking around, city walkers can notice the small details and sense the special feeling of a place. They seek pleasure more through connection than consumption, which indicates a deep cultural curiosity. For example, in Chongqing, if you don’t take a walk, you can hardly experience the unique geographical charm of the mountainous city. Whether it’s the hutongs in Beijing or the streets with Chinese parasol trees in Shanghai, city walks help people discover things beyond famous sights and learn stories that are often missed. The charm of a city walk lies in the young generation’s changing attitude toward life — pursuing quality leisure time while being occupied with work and limited time for exploration. While walking along the road, you can entirely focus on yourself and listen to your inner voice and care for what you feel, which is a way to love yourself and benefit your mental health. Just like Oscar Wilde once said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” 32. How does the city walk differ from traditional sightseeing? A. It pursues economical tourism. B. It is usually well organized and scheduled. C. It helps promote the authentic food of the destination. D It focuses on feeling the local culture by connecting the city. 33. What do we know about city walkers? A. They are keen to buy souvenirs. B. They tend to walk as much as possible. C. They have strong curiosity about the local culture. D. They prefer the famous attractions to the natural scenery. 34. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What people often do during a city walk. B. Why city walk changes people’s lifestyle. C. How popular the city walk is among citizens. D. Why young people fall in love with a city walk. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. City Walk: Exploring Hidden Treasures on Foot B. City Walk: Traditional Tourism’s New Challenge C. City Walk: A Rising Trend in Social Development D. City Walk: A Shortcut to Mental Health and Scenic Spots 七选五 Creating an association (社团) at senior high school can be a rewarding experience. ____36____. Here are four essential steps to help you get started. ____37____ Before you begin, it’s crucial to think about what you want to achieve, whether it is to create a space for students with similar interests, to organize social events, or to support a particular cause. This will help you stay focused and attract like-minded members. For example, if you want to create a book club, you might be to share and discuss literature, develop critical thinking, and build a community of readers. Build a team With a clear purpose in mind the next step is to recruit members. Spread the word through posters, social media, and announcements.

If your association is focused on social events, consider hosting movie nights, game tournaments, or themed parties. Ensure that your activities are inclusive and cover the diverse interests of your members. ____39____. For example, partnering with an environmental club for a joint tree planting event can create a larger sense of community. Create a positive environment Building a positive environment is key to the success of any social association.

Some consider it a(n) ____41____ version of tennis－it requires less power and less running. However, there has been a turf war (争夺战) between traditional tennis players and the rapidly growing pickleball community. Some tennis players accuse pickleballers of taking up courts. The source of the ____42____ is a familiar one to economists: the distribution of a limited resource. Pickleball has gained widespread popularity since the covid-19 pandemic, especially among those over the age of 55. ____43____ special courts, many pickleballers started using public tennis courts. Basic economics teaches students about substitute and complementary (互补的) goods. Substitutes are goods that can be ____44____ by one another－think Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

In the long run, however, the impact of pickleball on tennis is not necessarily ____49____. There is even an argument that the two sports may end up complementary. First, what is really apparent is a rise in demand for facilities in which both sports can be played, and local authorities have never been keener on the provision of public courts. If ____50____ keeps up, it will result in suitable spaces for both sports. ____51____, the act of playing either sport is probably a complement to the other. Tennis is both hard to learn and athletically challenging. Pickleball is less ____52____ for children and the elderly to pick up. Consequently, it could easily become an entry point to more ____53____ sports － one that encourages children to progress to tennis ____54____ they have a little more muscle. And this process might later work ____55____. Lifelong tennis players, who find the sport too demanding as they age, might enjoy switching to pickleball. 41.

Mrs. Harper promised us a field trip if we finished the task perfectly. The air was thick with excitement, and all eyes were fixed on her. Some jobs were more appealing, and we were longing to be assigned the most desirable task. I was on the edge of my seat. Having been Mrs. Harper’s right-hand person last year and granted the title “the most responsible kid”, I was full of confidence. There was no doubt in my mind that I’d get the best job: taking care of Lily, our class alpaca (羊驼)。 When Mrs. Harper started reading the names, I held my breath. “Emma, teaching materials. Jake, blackboard duty.” One by one, all my classmates got their tasks. Then, it was my turn. “Judy!” My heart raced. But when she handed me a small box with silkworm eggs, my heart sank. Mrs. Harper said, “A special job for you.” But I barely heard her. “After all my hard work last year, is this really what I get?” I whispered, angry and disappointed. As soon as the bell rang, I stormed home, footsteps heavy. My mother sensed something. “What’s wrong, honey?” she asked gently. I looked up, my tears welling up. “Mom, it’s unfair! Everyone else got cool jobs, but I got stuck with these small silkworm eggs! The class alpaca would have been amazing, but silkworm eggs? I don’t want to take care of them.” I exclaimed, trembling with frustration. 注意： （1）词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother wrapped her arms around me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, it was time to announce “the most responsible kid”. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Text one, i'm sorry for making you wait for so long.

Because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed. But for myself, I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world. When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation. When I speak English, I can feel the confidence from my words.

I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well. If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe, as I love English, it will love me too. I am sure that I will realize my dream one day! 24. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph? A. English is changing quickly. B.

Maria Graziano and her colleague Marianne Gullberg, both at Lund University in Sweden, asked 12 people from Sweden and 12 from Italy to describe a video from the children’s TV show Pingu to a friend who hadn’t seen it, while examining their gestures. In the study, the Italians made an average of 22 gestures per 100 words of their speech, compared with the Swedes’ 11. But more interesting was the difference in the function of the gestures, says Graziano. The Swedes mostly used “referential gestures” to demonstrate the events of the story or the characters’ actions, for example showing a rolling pin (擀面杖) when describing baking. The Italians made these gestures as well, but also had more “pragmatic gestures” with which they commented on the story or introduced new information, such as a hand movement to indicate a new character. Currently, Barbara Tversky at Stanford University in California says that exactly why these results occurred is unclear, and she wants to see further research in larger groups of people with a more diverse mix of nationalities. A possible explanation is that different cultures’ understanding and explanation of short videos could lead to varying ways of organizing speech content and impact gesturing. Also Graziano hopes to study the gestures used in different texts, and with different relationships between the speakers, to explore how various cultures use gestures to communicate and tell a story. “Gestures are produced in all languages and cultures, and they are not a mere decoration of speech; they are closely related to what we are saying and how we want to say it,” Graziano concluded. 28. How does the author develop Paragraph 2? A. By quoting a famous saying. B. By listing data. C. By giving a definition. D. By making predictions. 29. Swedes mostly used “referential gestures” to______. A. introduce new information B. express their own ideas C. show actions of the characters D. comment on an interesting story 30. Who will be involved in Tversky’s further research? A. People from more countries. B. People of various age groups. C. People from all walks of life. D. People with different hobbies. 31. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Gestures can help deliver a better speech. B. Why gestures are different in children’s TV shows. C. When gestures should be used in public speaking. D. Gestures may relate to nationalities. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同国籍的人在手势使用上的差异，并探讨了文化对手势功能的影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Maria Graziano and her colleague Marianne Gullberg, both at Lund University in Sweden, asked 12 people from Sweden and 12 from Italy to describe a video from the children’s TV show Pingu to a friend who hadn’t seen it, while examining their gestures. In the study, the Italians made an average of 22 gestures per 100 words of their speech, compared with the Swedes’ 11. (Maria Graziano和她在瑞典隆德大学的同事Marianne Gullberg，让12名瑞典人和12名意大利人向一位没看过儿童电视节目《Pingu》的朋友描述该节目的一段视频，同时观察他们的手势。在这项研究中，意大利人平均每说100个单词会做出22个手势，而瑞典人则是11个)”可知，作者在这一段中提到了参与研究的瑞典人和意大利人的人数，以及他们在每100个单词的讲话中平均做出的手势数量等数据。所以作者是通过列举数据的方式来展开第二段的。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Swedes mostly used ‘referential gestures’ to demonstrate the events of the story or the characters’ actions, for example showing a rolling pin when describing baking. (瑞典人主要使用“指示性手势”来演示故事中的事件或人物的动作，例如在描述烘焙时展示擀面杖)”可知，瑞典人主要使用“指示性手势”来展示故事中人物的动作。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Currently, Barbara Tversky at Stanford University in California says that exactly why these results occurred is unclear, and she wants to see further research in larger groups of people with a more diverse mix of nationalities. (目前，加利福尼亚州斯坦福大学的Barbara Tversky表示，这些结果发生的确切原因尚不清楚，她希望看到在更多不同国籍的人群中进行进一步的研究)”可知，Tversky的进一步研究将涉及来自更多国家的人。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“People of different nationalities seem to vary in their use of hand gestures, according to a study that seems to support the idea that Italians, in particular, “talk with their hands”. (一项研究表明，不同国籍的人在使用手势方面似乎存在差异，这项研究似乎也支持这样一种观点，即意大利人尤其爱“用手势辅助表达”)”可知，文章主要讲述了一项研究表明不同国籍的人在使用手势方面似乎存在差异，并且后文围绕这一研究展开了详细介绍。所以这篇文章主要讨论的是手势可能与国籍有关。故选D。 D Recently, the “city walk” has becoming popular among residents and tourists around China. On social platform, data shows that the number of related topic posts has increased by 700 percent over the past three months, and the total number of interactions has increased by more than 600 percent. A city walk is a type of city exploration that begins in the UK. Instead of visiting famous spots by cars or buses like regular tours, people walk through neighborhoods to experience daily life and discover small, interesting things that even a resident might not notice. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic (真实的) restaurants, and have a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. City walkers are a group of people with strong curiosity. They are eager to engage with the city they are visiting or live in, in their own way. By walking around, city walkers can notice the small details and sense the special feeling of a place. They seek pleasure more through connection than consumption, which indicates a deep cultural curiosity. For example, in Chongqing, if you don’t take a walk, you can hardly experience the unique geographical charm of the mountainous city. Whether it’s the hutongs in Beijing or the streets with Chinese parasol trees in Shanghai, city walks help people discover things beyond famous sights and learn stories that are often missed. The charm of a city walk lies in the young generation’s changing attitude toward life — pursuing quality leisure time while being occupied with work and limited time for exploration. While walking along the road, you can entirely focus on yourself and listen to your inner voice and care for what you feel, which is a way to love yourself and benefit your mental health. Just like Oscar Wilde once said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” 32. How does the city walk differ from traditional sightseeing? A. It pursues economical tourism. B. It is usually well organized and scheduled. C. It helps promote the authentic food of the destination. D. It focuses on feeling the local culture by connecting the city. 33. What do we know about city walkers? A. They are keen to buy souvenirs. B. They tend to walk as much as possible. C. They have strong curiosity about the local culture. D. They prefer the famous attractions to the natural scenery. 34. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What people often do during a city walk. B. Why city walk changes people’s lifestyle. C. How popular the city walk is among citizens. D. Why young people fall in love with a city walk. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. City Walk: Exploring Hidden Treasures on Foot B. City Walk: Traditional Tourism’s New Challenge C. City Walk: A Rising Trend in Social Development D. City Walk: A Shortcut to Mental Health and Scenic Spots 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“城市漫步”这一新兴旅游方式，它通过步行探索城市，强调与当地文化的连接，尤其受到年轻一代的喜爱。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic (真实的) restaurants, and have a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. (这样的步行通常会避开著名的景点和购物中心，带你去一些地方，在那里你可以与当地人进行真正的互动，在小而真实的餐馆吃饭，并对城市的历史和文化有更深入的了解)”可知，城市漫步侧重于通过与城市连接来感受当地文化。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“City walkers are a group of people with strong curiosity. They are eager to engage with the city they are visiting or live in, in their own way. (城市漫步者是一群充满好奇心的人。他们渴望以自己的方式与他们正在访问或居住的城市互动)”可知，城市漫步者对当地文化有强烈的好奇心。故选C项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The charm of a city walk lies in the young generation’s changing attitude toward life — pursuing quality leisure time while being occupied with work and limited time for exploration. While walking along the road, you can entirely focus on yourself and listen to your inner voice and care for what you feel, which is a way to love yourself and benefit your mental health. (城市漫步的魅力在于年轻一代对生活态度的转变——在忙于工作和有限的探索时间的同时追求高质量的休闲时间。在路上行走时，你可以完全专注于自己，倾听内心的声音，关心自己的感受，这是一种爱自己、有益于心理健康的方式)”可知，最后一段主要解释了年轻人喜欢城市漫步的原因。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Recently, the “city walk” has becoming popular among residents and tourists around China. (最近，“城市漫步”在中国各地的居民和游客中越来越受欢迎)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了“城市漫步”这一新兴旅游方式，它通过步行探索城市，强调与当地文化的连接，尤其受到年轻一代的喜爱。A项“城市漫步：徒步探索隐藏的宝藏”最符合主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 七选五 Creating an association (社团) at senior high school can be a rewarding experience. ____36____.

Some consider it a(n) ____41____ version of tennis－it requires less power and less running. However, there has been a turf war (争夺战) between traditional tennis players and the rapidly growing pickleball community. Some tennis players accuse pickleballers of taking up courts. The source of the ____42____ is a familiar one to economists: the distribution of a limited resource. Pickleball has gained widespread popularity since the covid-19 pandemic, especially among those over the age of 55. ____43____ special courts, many pickleballers started using public tennis courts. Basic economics teaches students about substitute and complementary (互补的) goods. Substitutes are goods that can be ____44____ by one another－think Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Rising demand for one will lead to falling demand for the other. Complements are the ____45____. Rising demand for one stimulates demand for the other － think cars and petrol. It is ____46____ to see why the two sports appear to be substitutes. Public-court space is ____47____ and private clubs can be expensive. As pickleball has added more than 9 million players since 2020, the number of tennis players has also ____48____, but growth in courts has not kept pace. In the long run, however, the impact of pickleball on tennis is not necessarily ____49____. There is even an argument that the two sports may end up complementary. First, what is really apparent is a rise in demand for facilities in which both sports can be played, and local authorities have never been keener on the provision of public courts. If ____50____ keeps up, it will result in suitable spaces for both sports. ____51____, the act of playing either sport is probably a complement to the other. Tennis is both hard to learn and athletically challenging. Pickleball is less ____52____ for children and the elderly to pick up. Consequently, it could easily become an entry point to more ____53____ sports － one that encourages children to progress to tennis ____54____ they have a little more muscle. And this process might later work ____55____. Lifelong tennis players, who find the sport too demanding as they age, might enjoy switching to pickleball. 41.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了匹克球对网球运动的影响及两者间的潜在互补关系。 【41题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：有些人认为它是网球的简化版——它需要的力量和跑动更少。A. simpler更简单的；B. popular受欢迎的；C. final最终的；D. unique独特的。根据后文“it requires less power and less running”可知，匹克球相对网球来说更简单，不需要太多力量和跑动，所以是网球的简化版。故选A。 【42题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这场冲突的根源是经济学家们熟悉的一个问题：有限资源的分配。A. interaction互动；B. combination结合；C. conflict冲突；D. invention发明。根据前文“However, there has been a turf war (争夺战) between traditional tennis players and the rapidly growing pickleball community. Some tennis players accuse pickleballers of taking up courts.”可知，网球玩家和匹克球玩家之间存在冲突，这里说的是冲突的根源。故选C。 【43题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：在没有专门场地的情况下，许多匹克球运动员开始使用公共网球场。A. In the face of面对；B. In the absence of缺乏；C. In the company of陪伴；D. In the name of以……的名义。根据后文“many pickleballers started using public tennis courts”可知，匹克球运动员会去使用公共网球场，可以推断出缺乏专门的匹克球场。故选B。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：替代品是指可以相互替代的商品——想想可口可乐和百事可乐。A. advertised广告；B. exchanged交换；C. sold出售；D. replaced替代。根据后文“think Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Rising demand for one will lead to falling demand for the other”可知，一种商品需求上升会导致另一种商品需求下降，说明两者是替代品，可以相互替代。故选D。 【45题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：互补品则相反。A. opposite相反；B. alternative选择；C. equivalent等价物；D. relative亲戚。根据前文“think Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Rising demand for one will lead to falling demand for the other”和后文“Rising demand for one stimulates demand for the other”可知，一种商品需求上升会刺激另一种商品需求上升，这与替代品相反。故选A。 【46题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：很容易理解为什么这两项运动似乎是替代品。A. strange奇怪的；B. easy容易的；C. interesting有趣的；D. possible可能的。根据后文“to see why the two sports appear to be substitutes. Public-court space is ____ and private clubs can be expensive. As pickleball has added more than 9 million players since 2020, the number of tennis players has also ____ , but growth in courts has not kept pace.”可知，公共球场空间有限且私人俱乐部费用昂贵，自2020年以来，匹克球增加了900多万名球员，网球运动员的数量也有所增加，但球场的增长速度却没有跟上，所以很容易理解为什么匹克球和网球似乎是替代品。故选B。 【47题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：公共球场空间有限，私人俱乐部可能很昂贵。A. free免费的；B. available可获得的；C. limited有限的；D. rented租用的。根据前文“the distribution of a limited resource”和“Public-court space is”可知，前文提到有限资源的分配问题，可知公共球场空间是有限的。故选C。 【48题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：自2020年以来，匹克球增加了900多万名球员，网球运动员的数量也有所增加，但球场的增长速度却没有跟上。A. changed改变；B. increased增加；C. switched转换；D. stabilized稳定。根据前文“As pickleball has added more than 9 million players since 2020, the number of tennis players has also”可知，匹克球增加了900多万名球员，网球运动员的数量也有所增加。故选B。 【49题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，从长远来看，匹克球对网球的影响不一定是消极的。A. general一般的；B. changeable可变的；C. negative消极的；D. complementary互补的。根据后文“There is even an argument that the two sports may end up complementary.”可知，有人认为这两项运动最终可能是互补的，所以匹克球对网球的影响不一定是消极的。故选C。 【50题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果供应跟上，这将为两项运动提供合适的空间。A. provision提供，供应；B. demand需求；C. argument争论；D. expense费用。根据前文“local authorities have never been keener on the provision of public courts”和后文“keeps up, it will result in suitable spaces for both sports”可知，地方当局对提供公共球场很热心，这里说的是如果球场的供应能跟上需求，就会有适合两项运动的空间。故选A。 【51题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：此外，进行这两项运动中的任何一项可能都是对另一项的补充。A. However然而；B. Therefore因此；C. In addition此外；D. In short简而言之。根据后文“the act of playing either sport is probably a complement to the other”可知，此处是在进一步说明匹克球和网球之间的关系，即进行这两项运动中的任何一项可能都是对另一项的补充，所以用In addition表示“此外”。故选C。 【52题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：匹克球对儿童和老年人来说不那么苛刻。A. worthwhile值得的；B. argumentative好争论的；C. recommended推荐的；D. demanding要求高的，要求苛刻的。根据前文“Tennis is both hard to learn and athletically challenging. Pickleball is less”可知，网球既难学又对运动能力有挑战，而匹克球则相对容易上手，对儿童和老年人来说要求不那么高。故选D。 【53题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：因此，它很容易成为更具挑战性运动的入门点——鼓励孩子们在肌肉更发达一些后转向网球。A. challenging有挑战性的；B. professional专业的；C. interesting有趣的；D. beneficial有益的。根据前文“Tennis is both hard to learn and athletically challenging. Pickleball is less ____ for children and the elderly to pick up.”和后文“one that encourages children to progress to tennis”可知，网球有挑战性，而匹克球相对容易，所以说匹克球可以成为进入更具挑战性运动的切入点。故选A。 【54题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：因此，它很容易成为更具挑战性运动的入门点——鼓励孩子们在肌肉更发达一些后转向网球。A. in case万一；B. once一旦；C. unless除非；D. because因为。根据前文“encourages children to progress to tennis”和后文“they have a little more muscle”可知，这里表示一旦孩子身体条件允许，就可以从匹克球转向网球。故选B。 【55题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：这个过程以后可能会反过来。A. on the contrary相反；B. in exchange作为交换；C. in reward作为报答；D. on the other hand另一方面。根据后文“Lifelong tennis players, who find the sport too demanding as they age, might enjoy switching to pickleball.”可知，终身打网球的运动员在年老时可能会觉得这项运动要求太高，转而喜欢打匹克球，这与前文孩子们从匹克球转向网球的过程相反。故选A。 第二节 语法填空 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 Yangzhou is a renowned historical and cultural city ___56___(locate) in central Jiangsu Province, China.

Mrs. Harper promised us a field trip if we finished the task perfectly. The air was thick with excitement, and all eyes were fixed on her. Some jobs were more appealing, and we were longing to be assigned the most desirable task. I was on the edge of my seat. Having been Mrs. Harper’s right-hand person last year and granted the title “the most responsible kid”, I was full of confidence. There was no doubt in my mind that I’d get the best job: taking care of Lily, our class alpaca (羊驼)。 When Mrs. Harper started reading the names, I held my breath. “Emma, teaching materials. Jake, blackboard duty.” One by one, all my classmates got their tasks. Then, it was my turn. “Judy!” My heart raced. But when she handed me a small box with silkworm eggs, my heart sank. Mrs. Harper said, “A special job for you.” But I barely heard her. “After all my hard work last year, is this really what I get?” I whispered, angry and disappointed. As soon as the bell rang, I stormed home, footsteps heavy. My mother sensed something. “What’s wrong, honey?” she asked gently. I looked up, my tears welling up. “Mom, it’s unfair! Everyone else got cool jobs, but I got stuck with these small silkworm eggs! The class alpaca would have been amazing, but silkworm eggs? I don’t want to take care of them.” I exclaimed, trembling with frustration. 注意： （1）词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother wrapped her arms around me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, it was time to announce “the most responsible kid”. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My mother wrapped her arms around me. “Every task matters,” she said softly. “Even silkworms can teach responsibility.” Her words lingered in my mind. Reluctantly, I decided to try. I researched silkworm care, feeding them fresh mulberry leaves daily. Gradually, tiny eggs hatched into wriggling larvae. Watching them grow, I felt a strange pride. They spun golden cocoons, and I documented each stage carefully, surprising myself with newfound dedication. Weeks later, it was time to announce “the most responsible kid”. Mrs. Harper smiled, holding a silk scarf. “Judy’s silkworms produced this. Her effort earned our field trip!” The class cheered. Blushing, I realized Mom was right — no task was too small. Caring for fragile lives taught me patience and commitment, far beyond what I’d expected. Lily the alpaca was great, but my silkworms? They spun more than silk; they wove a lesson I’d never forget. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了模范生Judy是一个习惯了特殊待遇的优等生，作为去年班级里公认的“最有责任心孩子”和老师的得力助手，她新学期任务分配时早早就把照顾班级羊驼Lily视为自己的责任。当其他同学陆续领到黑板值日、教具管理等普通任务时，老师那句“Judy，这是给你的特殊任务”却伴随着一盒蚕卵而非期待的羊驼钥匙——这个从不在学校流泪的完美学生，竟在回家路上踩出重重的脚步声，颤抖着向母亲哭诉“这太不公平了”。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我母亲用双臂抱住了我。”可知，第一段可描写在母亲的安慰下，Judy决定尝试养蚕，并记下蚕的每个阶段。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，是时候宣布“最负责任的孩子”了。”可知，第二段可描写Judy获得胜利，以及感悟。 2. 续写线索：母亲安慰——决定试一试——耐心养蚕——感到骄傲——详细记录——获得称号——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①研究：research/investigate ②记录：document/record ③赢得：earn/win 情绪类 ①不情愿地：reluctantly/unwillingly ②惊讶的：surprising/astonishing 【点睛】[高分句型1]Blushing, I realized Mom was right — no task was too small.(省略that的宾语从句) [高分句型2]They spun more than silk; they wove a lesson I’d never forget.(省略that的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
