A. broke B. avoided C. added 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：2月8日下午，哈尔滨亚冬会男子1500米速度滑冰决赛结束。来自黑龙江的宁忠岩为中国代表团又添加一枚金牌。 考查动词辨析。broke打破、突破；avoided避免、防止；added增加、添加。根据“ Ning Zhongyan from Heilongjiang...another gold medal for the Chinese delegation.”可知，句子强调宁忠岩在比赛中为中国代表团又添加一枚金牌，故选C。 2. —Why did Alice refuse to work with her classmates as a team? —Because she thought ________ of them could match her. A. none B. nobody C. any 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为什么爱丽丝拒绝和同学们一起合作？——因为她觉得他们谁也比不上她。 考查代词辨析。none没有一个；nobody没有人；any任何。根据“Why did Alice refuse to work with her classmates as a team?”可知，拒绝和同学们一起合作，应是觉得他们谁也比不上她，none of“没有一个”，是固定搭配。故选A。 3. —Class, what does growing-up mean to you? —As for me, it’s a (n) ________ but joyful process with ups and downs. A. accidental B. painful C. smooth 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——同学们，成长对你们来说意味着什么？——对我而言，这是一个充满起伏、痛苦但又快乐的过程。 考查形容词辨析。accidental偶然的、意外的；painful痛苦的、艰难的；smooth顺利的、平稳的。根据“—Class, what does growing-up mean to you? —As for me, it’s a (n)...but joyful process with ups and downs.”可知，句中“with ups and downs”表明成长过程并非一帆风顺，此处需与“joyful”形成转折关系。“painful”可与“joyful”构成对比表示“痛苦但快乐”，同时呼应“ups and downs”中“downs”的含义，符合语境。故选B。 4.

Everything went on well, and the world got to know more about Harbin.”可知，答句表述一切进展顺利和让世界更了解哈尔滨，表明运动会举办得很成功，产生了积极影响。“success”能准确概括运动会“成功举办且带来正面影响”的特点，符合语境。故选B。 7.

A. will be done B. is done C. has done 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——妈妈，明天我能和你一起去听音乐会吗？——恐怕不行，除非你做完所有的作业。 考查动词时态和语态。根据“I’m afraid not unless all your homework”可知，该句是条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则，“your homework”是单数，且是被完成，应该用一般现在时的被动语态。故选B。 10. —Why do you call him Mr. Knowledgeable? —Because he knows most of the people and the things ________ we want to know.

I was a young father with three little children depending on me. I worked in a sawmill (锯木厂). As I got ready to go to work, I put bandages around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split (裂开) and blood could be seen in the cold, dry winter air. That day at work was harder than normal. We were short of workers. So we had to do more work than usual. Besides, the machines kept breaking down, so we had to rush to repair them again and again. What’s worse, all the heaters (加热器) in the building had stopped working and we could see our breath as we spent hours working there! When the workday finally ended, I walked toward the washroom, took off my work gloves, and checked my fingers. The splits were worse than ever and blood came through the bandages again. I felt so tired. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, whether things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard. After driving home, I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened the front door but instead, one appeared surprisingly, smiling at me and calling “Daddy!” and put her little arms around my neck. I lifted my daughter up and my heart was filled with love. My tired body didn’t feel so tired anymore. My pains disappeared into her hug. And the joy in my heart drove the sadness away. At that moment I kissed my little girl’s face. I knew I could continue and things would get better. 根据短文内容判断正、误。(注意：考生将答题卡相应位置涂黑。正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”) 26.

Usually you do this when you want to tell people to be quiet. A new sculpture (雕像) by the Hudson River is trying to deliver exactly this message: With her finger pressed to her lips, the big woman’s head seems to be calling on people in Manhattan (麦哈顿) —one of the world’s busiest (and noisiest) areas to rethink the pace (节奏) of their lives. “Stop and listen,” said its creator, the Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. “Listen to the water talking to us. When it moves, the water makes a special sound, very special. Few people ever pay attention to it.” Plensa started working on the sculpture two years ago. He calls it the most beautiful piece he has ever completed. The sculpture is so large (it’s 24 meters tall) that people all across Manhattan can see it. Some people have watched it being put together since August. They wonder why the woman seems to be shushing. “I’d say it’s telling New York City to keep this area a secret,” said a local person. “We don’t want to drive more people to work here.” Plensa says that by creating the sculpture, he is not just sending a message to Manhattan. “I’m caring about the ‘noise’ from the outside world,” he said. “Close your eyes and look inside yourself. Try to listen to your own thoughts and your own dreams in this noisy time. Everyone has an amazing amount of beauty hidden inside of them.” 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 31. Where is the sculpture mentioned in the article? A. In the US. B. In the UK. C. In Spain. 32. The underlined word “deliver” in the passage means“ ________ ” in English.

Local people in Manhattan hope the sculpture will drive more people to work there. 34. Why did Plensa create this sculpture mainly? A. To stop people enjoying the special sound of the river. B. To call on more people not to make any noise. C. To make people slow down the pace of their lives. 35. In which part of a newspaper can you read the passage? A. Custom. B. Costume. C. Culture. 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一座位于哈德逊河畔的新雕塑及其传达的信息。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“A new sculpture by the Hudson River...calling on people in Manhattan”可知，哈德逊河和曼哈顿均位于美国。故选A。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“With her finger pressed to her lips...calling on people...to rethink the pace of their lives”可知，雕像通过手势“传递”让人们放慢生活节奏的信息，“deliver”在此意为“以某种方式向人们传递信息”。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Manhattan — one of the world’s busiest (and noisiest) areas”可知，曼哈顿繁忙且嘈杂。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据创作者的表述“calling on people...to rethink the pace of their lives”和“Close your eyes and look inside yourself”可知，创作目的是呼吁人们放慢生活节奏，关注内心。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。本文介绍了西班牙艺术家在纽约创作的雕像及其文化寓意，属于“文化”范畴。故选C。 (D) Harbin has become the brightest star of tourism in China.

Magpies are as much an important part of Beijing as the Palace Museum and Beijing Duck. But how much do you know about this type of birds? In the Chinese culture, magpies are also called xique, which means “bird of happiness”. People believe that seeing magpies can bring them good luck. Magpies have black and white feathers with blue tails. With their special “chachacha” sounds from early morning till night, it is not difficult for birdwatchers to notice them. Magpies have some very interesting living habits. They always live around humans, because they mainly live on the food we throw away. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right away. Instead, they will save the food for the future. Even more surprising, they will stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds for them. It is just like a funeral (葬礼). All these unbelievable things lead some people to believe that magpies may be the cleverest of all birds. Well, Beijing’s noisiest bird is also one of its smartest ones. Maybe these little birds can really bring a little luck too. 任务1：阅读短文 ，完成同义句转换，每空一词。 51. They always live around humans, because they mainly live on the food we throw away. They always live around humans, because they mainly live on the food that ________ ________ away by us. 任务2：根据短文内容回答问题。 52. What does the magpie’s Chinese name mean in the passage? __________________________________________ 53. What do magpies look like? __________________________________________ 54. What will magpies do for their dead friends? __________________________________________ 【答案】51. ①. is ②. thrown 52. It means “bird of happiness”. 53. They have black and white feathers with blue tails. 54. They will stay around the dead friends and make sad sounds for them. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了喜鹊在中国文化中被称为“喜鸟”，象征好运。它们有黑白羽毛和蓝色尾巴，以人类丢弃的食物为生，会储存食物并表现出类似葬礼的行为，被认为是鸟类中最聪明的之一。 【51题详解】 根据原句“They always live around humans, because they mainly live on the food we throw away.”及“They always live around humans, because they mainly live on the food that...away by us.”可知，此处应该把“we throw away”转换为被动语态，被动语态的结构是“be+动词过去分词”，主语是“the food”，“be”动词使用“is”，“throw”的过去分词是“thrown”，“is thrown away by us”表示“被我们扔掉”。故填is；thrown。 【52题详解】 根据“In the Chinese culture, magpies are also called xique, which means ‘bird of happiness’.”可知，喜鹊在文章中的意思是“bird of happiness” 。故填It means “bird of happiness”. 【53题详解】 根据“Magpies have black and white feathers with blue tails.”可知，喜鹊有黑白相间的羽毛和蓝色的尾巴。故填They have black and white feathers with blue tails. 【54题详解】 根据“Even more surprising, they will stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds for them.”可知，喜鹊会围绕在死去的朋友周围并为它们发出悲伤的声音。故填They will stay around the dead friends and make sad sounds for them. (C) We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body energetic (精力充沛的). If you exercise several times a week, you will stay happy and healthy. Some Westerners have problems with exercise. In the US, many people don’t have enough exercise. They have to work from morning to late afternoon, so they don’t have time to take exercise. They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in front of computers. It is impossible for them to get much exercise in this way. Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work. However, most cannot do this. It is too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. Driving needs too much attention especially in rush hours. It makes a person very tired. So, when these people arrive home at night, they don’t want to take exercise after work. Today, many people in the West are overweight. Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and keep healthy. So many people are trying to get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don’t see improvement right away, they will lose confidence and stop exercising. 根据短文内容，完成表格，每空一词。 Westerners Need Exercise The advantages that people can get from exercise. Help heavy people lose ___55___. Keep you energetic. Help you stay healthy and happy. The ___56___ people have in exercising. Some people at work are too ___57___ to exercise.

Some would lose confidence if they don’t ___59___ right away. 【答案】55. weight 56. difficulties##problems 57. busy 58. tiring 59. improve 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了西方人虽需锻炼来减肥、保持精力充沛及健康快乐，但存在工作忙没时间、开车累不想动等锻炼困难，且部分人因看不到立竿见影的改善而失去信心停止锻炼。 【55题详解】 根据“ Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and keep healthy. ”可知，医生说锻炼可以帮助人们减肥和保持健康。故填weight. 【56题详解】 根据“ Some Westerners have problems with exercise. ”可知，一些西方人在锻炼方面有问题。故填difficulties/ problems 【57题详解】 根据“ They have to work from morning to late afternoon, so they don’t have time to take exercise. ”可知，他们从早工作到晚，所以没有时间锻炼。故填busy. 【58题详解】 根据“ Driving needs too much attention especially in rush hours. It makes a person very tired. ”可知，开车需要太多注意力，尤其是在高峰时段，这会让人很累。故填tiring. 【59题详解】 根据“ But it takes time to change, and when people don’t see improvement right away, they will lose confidence and stop exercising. ”可知，但改变需要时间，当人们看不到立即的改善时，他们会失去信心并停止锻炼。故填improve. 六、语法填空 (本题共10分，每空1分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 On December 2, China Media Group introduced the mascot (吉祥物) called “Si Shengsheng” for the 2025 Spring Festival Gala (春晚)!

I worked in a sawmill (锯木厂). As I got ready to go to work, I put bandages around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split (裂开) and blood could be seen in the cold, dry winter air. That day at work was harder than normal. We were short of workers. So we had to do more work than usual. Besides, the machines kept breaking down, so we had to rush to repair them again and again. What’s worse, all the heaters (加热器) in the building had stopped working and we could see our breath as we spent hours working there! When the workday finally ended, I walked toward the washroom, took off my work gloves, and checked my fingers. The splits were worse than ever and blood came through the bandages again. I felt so tired. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, whether things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard. After driving home, I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened the front door but instead, one appeared surprisingly, smiling at me and calling “Daddy!” and put her little arms around my neck. I lifted my daughter up and my heart was filled with love. My tired body didn’t feel so tired anymore. My pains disappeared into her hug. And the joy in my heart drove the sadness away. At that moment I kissed my little girl’s face. I knew I could continue and things would get better. 根据短文内容判断正、误。(注意：考生将答题卡相应位置涂黑。正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”) 26. The writer was a 30-year-old father with three little children. 27. Not having enough workers, the broken machines and the coldness made that day even harder than usual. 28.

Usually you do this when you want to tell people to be quiet. A new sculpture (雕像) by the Hudson River is trying to deliver exactly this message: With her finger pressed to her lips, the big woman’s head seems to be calling on people in Manhattan (麦哈顿) —one of the world’s busiest (and noisiest) areas to rethink the pace (节奏) of their lives. “Stop and listen,” said its creator, the Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. “Listen to the water talking to us. When it moves, the water makes a special sound, very special. Few people ever pay attention to it.” Plensa started working on the sculpture two years ago. He calls it the most beautiful piece he has ever completed. The sculpture is so large (it’s 24 meters tall) that people all across Manhattan can see it. Some people have watched it being put together since August. They wonder why the woman seems to be shushing. “I’d say it’s telling New York City to keep this area a secret,” said a local person. “We don’t want to drive more people to work here.” Plensa says that by creating the sculpture, he is not just sending a message to Manhattan. “I’m caring about the ‘noise’ from the outside world,” he said. “Close your eyes and look inside yourself. Try to listen to your own thoughts and your own dreams in this noisy time. Everyone has an amazing amount of beauty hidden inside of them.” 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 31. Where is the sculpture mentioned in the article? A. In the US. B. In the UK. C. In Spain. 32. The underlined word “deliver” in the passage means“ ________ ” in English.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Manhattan is a secret place. B. Manhattan is very busy and noisy. C. Local people in Manhattan hope the sculpture will drive more people to work there. 34. Why did Plensa create this sculpture mainly? A. To stop people enjoying the special sound of the river. B. To call on more people not to make any noise. C. To make people slow down the pace of their lives. 35. In which part of a newspaper can you read the passage? A. Custom. B. Costume. C. Culture.

Magpies are as much an important part of Beijing as the Palace Museum and Beijing Duck. But how much do you know about this type of birds? In the Chinese culture, magpies are also called xique, which means “bird of happiness”. People believe that seeing magpies can bring them good luck. Magpies have black and white feathers with blue tails. With their special “chachacha” sounds from early morning till night, it is not difficult for birdwatchers to notice them. Magpies have some very interesting living habits. They always live around humans, because they mainly live on the food we throw away. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right away. Instead, they will save the food for the future. Even more surprising, they will stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds for them. It is just like a funeral (葬礼).
