Every Sunday morning, I take a jog around a park near my home. There’s a lake located in one corner of the park. Each time I jog by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage (笼子) sitting beside her.
This past Sunday my curiosity got the best of me, so I walked over to her. As I got closer, I realized that in the metal cage were three turtles, unharmed, slowly walking around the base of the trap. She had a fourth turtle in her lap that she was carefully cleaning with a brush.
“Hello,” I said. “I see you here every Sunday morning. If you don’t mind my nosiness, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.”
“I’m cleaning off their shells,” she replied. “Anything on a turtle’s shell, like algae or scum (海藻或浮垢), reduces the turtle’s ability to absorb heat and weaken its ability to swim. I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my way of making a difference.”
“But don’t most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae and scum hanging from their shells?” I asked.
“Yep, sadly, they do,” she replied.
I scratched my head. “So there are freshwater turtles living in lakes all around the world. And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, no offense… but how exactly are your localized efforts here truly making a difference?”
The woman smiled. She then looked down at the turtle in her lap, removed the last piece of algae from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made a world of difference.”
4. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To present the author’s love for jogging.
B. To describe the beauty of the park’s lake.
C. To show the living environment of turtles.
D. To introduce the woman with unusual activity.
5. Why did the elderly woman clean the turtles’ shells?
A. Because she was paid to do so.
B. Because she was collecting algae.
C. Because she thought it was relaxing.
D Because she wanted the turtles to swim better.
6. What is the author’s attitude towards the woman’s efforts at first?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciative.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. A merry heart goes all the way. B. You are never too old to learn.
C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Do good things even little.
C
In the small town of Greenfield, a remarkable community garden project has been transforming an empty lot into a place of beauty and unity.
The empty lot, located on Main Street right at the heart of the town, was once filled with rubbish, while weeds (杂草) grew wildly, reaching up to knee height. But a group of passionate local residents, led by the energetic and determined Mrs. Thompson, saw potential. They firmly believed that this barren space could be turned into something extraordinary, and thus, the idea of a community garden was born.
With the help of the town council, which provided funding, and the local hardware store, which generously donated gardening tools, the project finally got off the ground. Volunteers of all ages from across the town eagerly joined in. Children, their faces beaming with excitement, helped pick up small pieces of trash, while adults worked hard to till the stubborn soil. The elderly, sharing their rich gardening experience, guided the younger ones on the best planting methods. Together, they planted a diverse range of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, fruits such as strawberries, and colorful flowers that would bloom in different seasons.
As the garden succeeded, it became the new heart of the community. Neighbors who had previously only exchanged brief nods started having long, friendly conversations. They shared valuable gardening tips over cups of coffee, and on sunny weekends, the garden was filled with laughter during lively picnics. The local school actively participated as well. Regularly, science classes made their way to the garden, an exciting laboratory where students were able to have hands-on experience.
The community garden not only beautified the town, replacing the shabby lot with a green oasis (绿洲), but also had far-reaching practical impacts. The abundant produce (农产品) was shared among the volunteers, and a significant amount was donated to the local food bank, bringing warmth and nutrition to those in need. This project in Greenfield has truly become a shining example for other towns, vividly showing how a community’s joint efforts can turn a deserted space into a source of joy and enrichment for everyone.
8. What is the main purpose of the community garden project?
A. To promote local tourism.
B. To provide jobs for local residents.
C. To beautify the town and unite the community.
D. To compete with other towns’ gardening projects.
9. What does the underlined word “barren” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Irreplaceable. B. Unproductive. C. Impractical. D. Inaccessible.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Funding was the key to success.
B. Only adults worked on the project.
C. The elderly played the biggest role.
D Joint efforts made the project possible.
11. The act of donating garden produce to the local food bank implies that the volunteers ________.
A. seek media attention. B. aim to expand the garden’s size.
C. focus on community’s well-being. D. lack storage space for the harvest.
D
Color, a seemingly ordinary element in our daily lives, has astonishing secrets related to the human body. One of its remarkable characteristics is the so-called “weight”.
Imagine this experiment: Take two boxes of the same weight, wrap one in white paper and the other in red. When you lift them, the red-wrapped box will likely feel heavier. This isn’t a trick of the mind alone. Fourteen years ago, Professor Dai’er uncovered that colors carried “weight” in our brains. Through complicated and thorough experiments, he ranked colors by this understood “weight”: red, blue, green, orange, yellow, white, from heaviest to lightest.
Color science isn’t just about how colors seem heavy or light. It also gives colors “tastes” that can remind people of different foods and feelings. For example, warm colors like bright red often make people think of sweet strawberries or the spicy kick of chilli peppers, bringing a sense of energy and excitement.
Our sensory organst (器官) can “detect” them too. Scientifically, each color corresponds to (相一致) a specific wavelength of electromagnetic energy, ranging from around 380 to 700 nanometers. For instance, red light had a longer wavelength (about 620 — 750 nm), while violet has a shorter one (around 380 — 450 nm). The heat-sensitive sensory nerve endings (神经末梢) can respond to the varying energy levels of different wavelengths, allowing many blind people, who lack functional eyesight, to have a understanding of color.
Interestingly, colors can change how our body makes hormones (荷尔蒙), which affects our health and how we feel at work. Warm colors like yellow and red can make us feel more energetic and excited, so they’re good for active workplaces. Cool colors such as blue and green help us relax and concentrate better, perfect for jobs that need careful thinking. Colors are really important for our mind and body, and we can use them to make our lives better.
In essence, color is far more than a visual delight; it’s a silent force shaping our physical and mental states, waiting to be better used in our lives.
12. What does the experiment tell us?
A. That color has weight is still a scientific guess.
B. The red-wrapped box causes mental pressure on people.
C. People’s understanding of color weight varies individually.
D. Colors can create a sense of different weights in people’s minds.
13. Why can blind people distinguish colors?
A. They feel colors’ taste. B. They sense colors’ weight.
C. Skin absorbs colors directly. D. Sensory organs detect colors’ wavelengths.
14. According to the text, which color is best for decorating a study room?
A. Red. B. Orange. C. Blue. D. Yellow.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Color: Beyond What We See. B. Color: A Basic Visual Feature.
C. Colors and Human Emotions. D. The Mysterious Weight of Color.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
My neighbor has a beautiful lawn. He hates to see even one weed in it. I understand his feelings but I accept a little more of a natural look. Every year, the spring rains cause weeds to appear everywhere, especially in the lawn. ____16____ There is one weed killer for killing weeds in paths, another for killing weeds in flower beds, another for killing grass in flower beds and yet another for killing weeds in grass.
One day when I got home from work, he was killing the dandelions (蒲公英) growing at the side of my house. “I’m sure that you will be happy with me killing these weeds for you,” he said.
Knowing he meant well, I thanked him. ____17____ I happen to like dandelions. For me, even in something as simple as a dandelion, there is art. In fact, there is even poetry in a dandelion!
____18____ They certainly do grow where nothing else does, like along the side of my house. The flowers are a pretty bright yellow. They form their own picture of golden color around my washing line, something like a crazy artwork.
The flowers also add fine flavor and color when dropped in ice water. ____19____ They also add vitamins. I’ve been told that the leaves and roots contain vitamins A, B and C as well as minerals such as iron and calcium. It does not taste that great, but it certainly is good for you.
Actually, dandelions are common and delicate, so we label them weeds and kill them. But I say that they are works of art, carefully made by nature’s magical hand. As the season progresses, the flower turns into puffy seeds that can float in the wind. If you blow the round head of seeds gently but firmly, the seeds fly away, forming a kind of art on the move.
So in the dandelion are both art and poetry. ____20____
A. However, deep inside, I felt saddened.
B. They can make food not only tasty but nutritious.
C. Dandelions can be used for many different purposes.
D. He then starts to mix up all his different poisons in his garage.
E. Do you know that the leaves can be used in a salad to make it tastier?
F. But to be honest, I didn’t want dandelions to grow freely in my garden.
G. Let nature’s art and beauty never stop to fill you with joy and amazement.

It was a September day, and as usual, the halls of Pine High School were filled with excitement. Students of all grades were dashing around, chatting excitedly about their summer adventures and the new classes they were taking. But for one student, today was unlike any other day. Today was the first day of high school for a freshman, Jamie, who had always been a bit of a shy kid, often finding it hard to speak up in class or make new friends. But she had always loved her studies. The smell of textbooks and the sound of a teacher’s voice explaining a new concept made her feel at home. She was determined to make the most of her high school years, but she knew that it wouldn’t be easy.
As she walked down the hallways, Jamie couldn’t help but feel frightened. The older students seemed so confident, walking with their heads held high. They talked loudly and laughed without a care in the world. Jamie, on the other hand, felt small and unimportant. She held her books tightly to her chest, avoiding any eye contact. But Jamie was determined to succeed, no matter what challenges came her way. She took a deep breath, reminding herself that she was just as capable as anyone else.
It wasn’t long before Jamie’s determination was put to the test. In her first week of school, she was assigned () a challenging project that required a lot of research and planning. Her history teacher, Mr. Thompson, had given the class the task of creating a presentation on a significant event from the previous century. Jamie tried her best, spending hours in the library reading books and taking notes. But she soon realized that she was in over her head. The amount of information was overwhelming, and she didn’t know where to start. As she struggled to complete the project, Jamie began to doubt herself. She stayed up late nights, her mind racing with worry. She wondered if she was cut out for high school. What if she failed?What if she disappointed her teachers and her parents? But then, something great happened.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Jamie’s classmates began to notice how hard she was working and started to offer help.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
From that day on, Jamie realized that high school was not a challenge to be faced alone.

Every Sunday morning, I take a jog around a park near my home. There’s a lake located in one corner of the park. Each time I jog by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage (笼子) sitting beside her.
This past Sunday my curiosity got the best of me, so I walked over to her. As I got closer, I realized that in the metal cage were three turtles, unharmed, slowly walking around the base of the trap. She had a fourth turtle in her lap that she was carefully cleaning with a brush.
“Hello,” I said. “I see you here every Sunday morning. If you don’t mind my nosiness, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.”
“I’m cleaning off their shells,” she replied. “Anything on a turtle’s shell, like algae or scum (海藻或浮垢), reduces the turtle’s ability to absorb heat and weaken its ability to swim. I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my way of making a difference.”
“But don’t most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae and scum hanging from their shells?” I asked.
“Yep, sadly, they do,” she replied.
I scratched my head. “So there are freshwater turtles living in lakes all around the world. And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, no offense… but how exactly are your localized efforts here truly making a difference?”
The woman smiled. She then looked down at the turtle in her lap, removed the last piece of algae from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made a world of difference.”
4. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To present the author’s love for jogging.
B. To describe the beauty of the park’s lake.
C. To show the living environment of turtles.
D. To introduce the woman with unusual activity.
5. Why did the elderly woman clean the turtles’ shells?
A. Because she was paid to do so.
B. Because she was collecting algae.
C. Because she thought it was relaxing.
D. Because she wanted the turtles to swim better.
6. What is the author’s attitude towards the woman’s efforts at first?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciative.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. A merry heart goes all the way. B. You are never too old to learn.

细节理解题。根据第四段中“Anything on a turtle’s shell, like algae or scum (海藻或浮垢), reduces the turtle’s ability to absorb heat and weaken its ability to swim.(乌龟壳上的任何东西,比如海藻或浮垢,都会降低乌龟吸收热量的能力,削弱其游泳能力。)”可知,老妇人给乌龟清理外壳是因为她想让乌龟游得更好。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“So there are freshwater turtles living in lakes all around the world. And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, no offense… but how exactly are your localized efforts here truly making a difference? (所以世界各地的湖泊里都生活着淡水龟。而这些乌龟中有99%都没有像你这样善良的人来帮它们清理外壳。所以,无意冒犯……但你在这里的局部努力究竟是如何真正产生影响的?)”可推知,作者一开始对这位老妇人的努力持怀疑态度。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“She then looked down at the turtle in her lap, removed the last piece of algae from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made a world of difference.” (然后她低头看着怀里的乌龟,从它的壳上取下最后一片海藻,说:“亲爱的,如果这个小家伙能说话,它会告诉你,我刚刚改变了一个世界。”)”以及文章描述的老妇人虽然只是为少数乌龟清理外壳,但她认为即使是微小的善举也能产生巨大的影响可知,我们可以从故事中学到“勿以善小而不为”的道理。故选D项。

In the small town of Greenfield, a remarkable community garden project has been transforming an empty lot into a place of beauty and unity.
The empty lot, located on Main Street right at the heart of the town, was once filled with rubbish, while weeds (杂草) grew wildly, reaching up to knee height. But a group of passionate local residents, led by the energetic and determined Mrs. Thompson, saw potential. They firmly believed that this barren space could be turned into something extraordinary, and thus, the idea of a community garden was born.
With the help of the town council, which provided funding, and the local hardware store, which generously donated gardening tools, the project finally got off the ground. Volunteers of all ages from across the town eagerly joined in. Children, their faces beaming with excitement, helped pick up small pieces of trash, while adults worked hard to till the stubborn soil. The elderly, sharing their rich gardening experience, guided the younger ones on the best planting methods. Together, they planted a diverse range of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, fruits such as strawberries, and colorful flowers that would bloom in different seasons.
As the garden succeeded, it became the new heart of the community. Neighbors who had previously only exchanged brief nods started having long, friendly conversations. They shared valuable gardening tips over cups of coffee, and on sunny weekends, the garden was filled with laughter during lively picnics. The local school actively participated as well. Regularly, science classes made their way to the garden, an exciting laboratory where students were able to have hands-on experience.
The community garden not only beautified the town, replacing the shabby lot with a green oasis (绿洲), but also had far-reaching practical impacts. The abundant produce (农产品) was shared among the volunteers, and a significant amount was donated to the local food bank, bringing warmth and nutrition to those in need. This project in Greenfield has truly become a shining example for other towns, vividly showing how a community’s joint efforts can turn a deserted space into a source of joy and enrichment for everyone.
8. What is the main purpose of the community garden project?
A. To promote local tourism.
B. To provide jobs for local residents.
C. To beautify the town and unite the community.
D. To compete with other towns’ gardening projects.
9. What does the underlined word “barren” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Irreplaceable. B. Unproductive. C. Impractical. D. Inaccessible.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Funding was the key to success.
B. Only adults worked on the project.
C. The elderly played the biggest role.
D. Joint efforts made the project possible.
11. The act of donating garden produce to the local food bank implies that the volunteers ________.
A. seek media attention. B. aim to expand the garden’s size.
C. focus on community’s well-being. D. lack storage space for the harvest.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In the small town of Greenfield, a remarkable community garden project has been transforming an empty lot into a place of beauty and unity.(在格林菲尔德小镇,一个非凡的社区花园项目一直在将一块空地改造成一个美丽且团结的地方)”以及最后一段“The community garden not only beautified the town, replacing the shabby lot with a green oasis (绿洲), but also had far-reaching practical impacts... This project in Greenfield has truly become a shining example for other towns, vividly showing how a community’s joint efforts can turn a deserted space into a source of joy and enrichment for everyone.(社区花园不仅美化了小镇,用绿色绿洲取代了破旧的空地,而且产生了深远的实际影响…… 格林菲尔德的这个项目确实成为了其他城镇的光辉典范,生动地展示了一个社区的共同努力如何能将一片荒芜的空间变成每个人欢乐和富足的源泉)” 可知,社区花园项目的主要目的是美化小镇并团结社区。故选C。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“With the help of the town council, which provided funding, and the local hardware store, which generously donated gardening tools, the project finally got off the ground. Volunteers of all ages from across the town eagerly joined in. Children, their faces beaming with excitement, helped pick up small pieces of trash, while adults worked hard to till the stubborn soil. The elderly, sharing their rich gardening experience, guided the younger ones on the best planting methods. Together, they planted a diverse range of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, fruits such as strawberries, and colorful flowers that would bloom in different seasons.(在提供资金的镇议会和慷慨捐赠园艺工具的当地五金店的帮助下,这个项目终于启动了。来自全镇各个年龄段的志愿者们都踊跃参与。孩子们兴奋得满脸通红,帮忙捡起小块垃圾,大人们则努力翻耕坚硬的土地。老人们分享着他们丰富的园艺经验,向年轻人传授最佳的种植方法。大家一起种下了各式各样的蔬菜,如西红柿和黄瓜,还有像草莓这样的水果,以及会在不同季节绽放的缤纷花朵)”可知,孩子们帮忙捡垃圾,成年人耕地,老年人分享种植经验,大家共同努力使得项目得以开展。故选D。

Color, a seemingly ordinary element in our daily lives, has astonishing secrets related to the human body. One of its remarkable characteristics is the so-called “weight”.
Imagine this experiment: Take two boxes of the same weight, wrap one in white paper and the other in red. When you lift them, the red-wrapped box will likely feel heavier. This isn’t a trick of the mind alone. Fourteen years ago, Professor Dai’er uncovered that colors carried “weight” in our brains. Through complicated and thorough experiments, he ranked colors by this understood “weight”: red, blue, green, orange, yellow, white, from heaviest to lightest.
Color science isn’t just about how colors seem heavy or light. It also gives colors “tastes” that can remind people of different foods and feelings. For example, warm colors like bright red often make people think of sweet strawberries or the spicy kick of chilli peppers, bringing a sense of energy and excitement.
Our sensory organst (器官) can “detect” them too. Scientifically, each color corresponds to (相一致) a specific wavelength of electromagnetic energy, ranging from around 380 to 700 nanometers. For instance, red light had a longer wavelength (about 620 — 750 nm), while violet has a shorter one (around 380 — 450 nm). The heat-sensitive sensory nerve endings (神经末梢) can respond to the varying energy levels of different wavelengths, allowing many blind people, who lack functional eyesight, to have a understanding of color.
Interestingly, colors can change how our body makes hormones (荷尔蒙), which affects our health and how we feel at work. Warm colors like yellow and red can make us feel more energetic and excited, so they’re good for active workplaces. Cool colors such as blue and green help us relax and concentrate better, perfect for jobs that need careful thinking. Colors are really important for our mind and body, and we can use them to make our lives better.
In essence, color is far more than a visual delight; it’s a silent force shaping our physical and mental states, waiting to be better used in our lives.
12. What does the experiment tell us?
A. That color has weight is still a scientific guess.
B. The red-wrapped box causes mental pressure on people.
C. People’s understanding of color weight varies individually.
D. Colors can create a sense of different weights in people’s minds.
13. Why can blind people distinguish colors?
A. They feel colors’ taste. B. They sense colors’ weight.
C. Skin absorbs colors directly. D. Sensory organs detect colors’ wavelengths.
14. According to the text, which color is best for decorating a study room?
A. Red. B. Orange. C. Blue. D. Yellow.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Color: Beyond What We See. B. Color: A Basic Visual Feature.
C Colors and Human Emotions. D. The Mysterious Weight of Color.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Imagine this experiment: Take two boxes of the same weight, wrap one in white paper and the other in red. When you lift them, the red-wrapped box will likely feel heavier. This isn’t a trick of the mind alone. Fourteen years ago, Professor Dai’er uncovered that colors carried “weight” in our brains.(想象这样一个实验:取两个重量相同的盒子,一个用白纸包裹,另一个用红纸包裹。当你提起它们时,包着红纸的盒子可能会感觉更重。这不仅仅是心理作用。14 年前,戴尔教授发现颜色在我们的大脑中带有“重量”)” 可知,该实验表明颜色能在人们的脑海中产生不同重量的感觉。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The heat - sensitive sensory nerve endings (神经末梢) can respond to the varying energy levels of different wavelengths, allowing many blind people, who lack functional eyesight, to have a understanding of color.(热敏感觉神经末梢可以对不同波长的不同能量水平做出反应,这使得许多视力有缺陷的盲人能够对颜色有所感知)” 可知,盲人能够区分颜色是因为他们的感觉器官能检测到颜色的波长。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Cool colors such as blue and green help us relax and concentrate better, perfect for jobs that need careful thinking.(蓝色和绿色等冷色有助于我们更好地放松和集中注意力,非常适合需要仔细思考的工作)”,书房是用于学习、需要集中注意力的地方,所以冷色调蓝色最适合装饰书房。故选C。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
My neighbor has a beautiful lawn. He hates to see even one weed in it. I understand his feelings but I accept a little more of a natural look. Every year, the spring rains cause weeds to appear everywhere, especially in the lawn. ____16____ There is one weed killer for killing weeds in paths, another for killing weeds in flower beds, another for killing grass in flower beds and yet another for killing weeds in grass.
One day when I got home from work, he was killing the dandelions (蒲公英) growing at the side of my house. “I’m sure that you will be happy with me killing these weeds for you,” he said.
Knowing he meant well, I thanked him. ____17____ I happen to like dandelions. For me, even in something as simple as a dandelion, there is art. In fact, there is even poetry in a dandelion!
____18____ They certainly do grow where nothing else does, like along the side of my house. The flowers are a pretty bright yellow. They form their own picture of golden color around my washing line, something like a crazy artwork.
The flowers also add fine flavor and color when dropped in ice water. ____19____ They also add vitamins. I’ve been told that the leaves and roots contain vitamins A, B and C as well as minerals such as iron and calcium. It does not taste that great, but it certainly is good for you.
Actually, dandelions are common and delicate, so we label them weeds and kill them. But I say that they are works of art, carefully made by nature’s magical hand. As the season progresses, the flower turns into puffy seeds that can float in the wind. If you blow the round head of seeds gently but firmly, the seeds fly away, forming a kind of art on the move.
So in the dandelion are both art and poetry. ____20____
A. However, deep inside, I felt saddened.
B. They can make food not only tasty but nutritious.
C. Dandelions can be used for many different purposes.
D. He then starts to mix up all his different poisons in his garage.
E. Do you know that the leaves can be used in a salad to make it tastier?
F. But to be honest, I didn’t want dandelions to grow freely in my garden.
G. Let nature’s art and beauty never stop to fill you with joy and amazement.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过邻居除蒲公英与作者对蒲公英的喜爱,展现其艺术、食用价值,呼吁欣赏自然之美。
【16题详解】
由上文“Every year, the spring rains cause weeds to appear everywhere, especially in the lawn.(每年春雨都会导致杂草丛生,尤其是草坪上。)”可知,此处需衔接邻居处理杂草的具体行为。D项He then starts to mix up all his different poisons in his garage.(然后他开始在车库里混合各种不同的除草剂。)中then承接春雨导致杂草生长的前提,“mix up all his different poisons”对应后文“one weed killer...another for...”的分类除草剂,具体描述邻居对杂草的“极端处理”,与“hates to see even one weed”的性格形成呼应。故选D项。
【17题详解】
由上文“Knowing he meant well, I thanked him.(我知道他好意,便谢了他。)”及下文“I happen to like dandelions.(我偏偏喜欢蒲公英。)”可知,此处需转折表达内心真实感受。A项However, deep inside, I felt saddened.(然而,内心深处我感到难过。) 中However表转折,“saddened”与“thanked him”形成表面感谢与内心矛盾的对比,“deep inside”引出后文对蒲公英的喜爱,衔接“外在回应→内在情感”的逻辑。故选A项。
【18题详解】
由下文“They certainly do grow where nothing else does, like along the side of my house. The flowers are a pretty bright yellow. They form their own picture of golden color around my washing line, something like a crazy artwork.(它们确实在其他地方生长,比如我家旁边。这些花是很亮的黄色。他们在我的晾衣绳周围形成了自己的金色图案,就像一件疯狂的艺术品。)”可知,此处需总述蒲公英的特点。C项Dandelions can be used for many different purposes.(蒲公英有许多不同用途。)符合语境。故选C项。
【19题详解】
由上文“The flowers also add fine flavor and color when dropped in ice water.(花朵放入冰水中也能增添风味和色泽。)”及下文“They also add vitamins.(它们还富含维生素。)”可知,此处需具体说明蒲公英在饮食中的应用。E项Do you know that the leaves can be used in a salad to make it tastier?(你知道叶子能用于沙拉使其更美味吗?)中“leaves can be used in a salad”呼应“flowers add flavor”,通过“叶子 — 花朵”的不同部位举例,延续“食用价值”的论述,tastier与flavor形成语义衔接,且设问句式增强互动性。故选E项。
【20题详解】
由上文“So in the dandelion are both art and poetry.(因此蒲公英兼具艺术与诗意。)”可知,此处需升华主题,呼应自然之美。G项Let nature’s art and beauty never stop to fill you with joy and amazement.(让自然的艺术与美丽永远带给你喜悦与惊叹。)中“nature’s art and beauty”指代蒲公英的“art and poetry”,“fill you with joy”呼吁珍视自然之美,与前文“works of art by nature’s hand”形成首尾呼应,将蒲公英的个体特质升华为对自然的欣赏。故选G项。

第二节 单句语法填空(共10题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
在下列句子的空白处填入适当的词或括号内单词的正确形式。
36. In this article, we will talk about a particular type of comfort food ______ power mainly lies in the associations it calls to mind. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whose
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:在这篇文章中,我们将讨论一种特殊的安慰食物,它的力量主要在于它能唤起人们的联想。定语从句修饰先行词comfort food,在从句作定语,应用whose。故填whose。
37. If we grow up eating certain foods in our family, then those foods tend ________ (link) with positive emotions. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to be linked
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:如果我们在家庭中成长过程中一直吃某些特定的食物,那么那些食物往往会与积极的情绪联系在一起。tend to do sth.是固定搭配,表示“倾向于做某事”,其后用不定式作宾语,又因link与其逻辑主语those foods之间是被动关系,所以用不定式的被动式作宾语。故填to be linked。
38. The Cantonese do not hurry ____________ their breakfasts, as I found when I visited a restaurant in Guangzhou’s old city centre this morning. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】over
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:正如我今天早上在广州市老城区一家餐馆所发现的那样,广东人吃早餐不着急。“hurry over one’s meal”是固定短语,表示“匆匆把饭吃完”,over是介词。故填over。
39. When the two lovers, Ling shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, first met, the music is light and pleasant, as if ________ (whisper) to the audience. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】whispering
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意:当梁山伯和祝英台初次见面时,音乐轻快悦耳,仿佛在向观众耳语。分析可知,as if引导的方式状语从句的主语为it(指代上文的music),且表动作正在进行,应用现在进行时is whispering;状语从句中,当主从句主语一致,且从句有be的某种形式时,可以省略从句的主语和be。故填whispering。
40. ________ his hearing loss, he was determined to find a way to continue living a life full of music. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】Despite
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:尽管听力受损,但他决心找到一种方式,继续过充满音乐的生活。由“his hearing loss, he was determined to find a way to continue living a life full of music”可知,句子表示“尽管听力受损,但他决心找到一种方式,继续过充满音乐的生活”,空格处意为“尽管”,空后是名词性短语,因此空格处是despite,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Despite。
41. No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect ________ (combine) is always enough to lift my spirts. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】combination
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:不管我的心情有多糟糕,这种完美的组合总是足以让我振作起来。设空处在句中作主语,结合句意以及空前that perfect可知,名词combination“组合,结合体”符合句意。故填combination。
42. Over time, it ____________ (expand) to include multiple options of soups, vegetables, meats and sauces. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】has expanded
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:随着时间的推移,它已经扩展到包括汤、蔬菜、肉类和酱汁的多种选择。根据句意和句中“Over time”可知,句子应用现在完成时,“it”和“has”连用,“expand”的过去分词为“expanded”。故填has expanded。
43. The music moves through technically difficult sections with ease, showing his genius ____________ a composer. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】as
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:这首音乐轻松地演绎了技术上复杂的段落,展现了他作为作曲家的天赋。根据句意可知,此处表示“作为……”,应用介词as,show one’s genius as...表示“展现某人作为……的天赋”,符合语境。故填as。
44. Most of the songs are about hardship and heartbreak, but also about hope — with plenty of humour ______ (throw) in for good measure. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】thrown
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意:大多数歌曲都是关于艰难和心碎的,但也有关于希望的——其中还夹杂着大量的幽默。动词throw意为“扔”,在with的复合结构中,和逻辑主语plenty of humour构成被动关系,且动作已完成,应用过去分词形式。故填thrown。
45. ________ I love best about Sichuan hot pots is that they offer a great opportunity to socialize with friends since a meal can last for hours.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】What
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意:我最喜欢四川火锅的一点是,它们提供了一个很好的机会来社交,因为一顿饭可以持续几个小时。分析句子可知,空处引导主语从句,且从句谓语动词love后缺少宾语,句意表示最喜欢的是“……的东西”,应用what引导该从句,作从句的宾语,空处位于句首,首字母大写,故填What。

Dear Jackson,
Our school is organizing a music festival on “Dialogue between Chinese and Western Instruments”. As an erhu player, I’d like to invite you, a talented piano master, to collaborate on Butterfly Lovers.
My vision is to let the erhu’s soulful tunes tell the Chinese love story, while your piano weaves in western harmonic layers. This blend could vividly showcase how instruments from different cultures converse. Would you be interested? We could start rehearsing next Monday if you’re available.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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 September day, and as usual, the halls of Pine High School were filled with excitement. Students of all grades were dashing around, chatting excitedly about their summer adventures and the new classes they were taking. But for one student, today was unlike any other day. Today was the first day of high school for a freshman, Jamie, who had always been a bit of a shy kid, often finding it hard to speak up in class or make new friends. But she had always loved her studies. The smell of textbooks and the sound of a teacher’s voice explaining a new concept made her feel at home. She was determined to make the most of her high school years, but she knew that it wouldn’t be easy.
As she walked down the hallways, Jamie couldn’t help but feel frightened. The older students seemed so confident, walking with their heads held high. They talked loudly and laughed without a care in the world. Jamie, on the other hand, felt small and unimportant. She held her books tightly to her chest, avoiding any eye contact. But Jamie was determined to succeed, no matter what challenges came her way. She took a deep breath, reminding herself that she was just as capable as anyone else.
It wasn’t long before Jamie’s determination was put to the test. In her first week of school, she was assigned () a challenging project that required a lot of research and planning. Her history teacher, Mr. Thompson, had given the class the task of creating a presentation on a significant event from the previous century. Jamie tried her best, spending hours in the library reading books and taking notes. But she soon realized that she was in over her head. The amount of information was overwhelming, and she didn’t know where to start. As she struggled to complete the project, Jamie began to doubt herself. She stayed up late nights, her mind racing with worry. She wondered if she was cut out for high school. What if she failed?What if she disappointed her teachers and her parents? But then, something great happened.

Paragraph 1:
Jamie’s classmates began to notice how hard she was working and started to offer help.

Paragraph 2:
From that day on, Jamie realized that high school was not a challenge to be faced alone.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Jamie’s classmates began to notice how hard she was working and started to offer help. Sarah, a friendly sophomore, approached her during lunch break and shared some useful websites about historical events. Jamie hesitated at first, her shyness making her nervous, but she accepted gratefully. Soon, other classmates joined, forming a study group in the library. They divided the research tasks and brainstormed together. Jamie felt a warm sense of relief as the overwhelming project became manageable. By sharing ideas, she gained confidence and began to speak up more in discussions.
Paragraph 2:
From that day on, Jamie realized that high school was not a challenge to be faced alone. With the group’s support, she delivered a polished presentation that impressed Mr. Thompson and earned high praise. The experience taught Jamie the power of teamwork and trust. She no longer isolated herself; instead, she actively participated in class and joined the debate club. Making friends became easier, and Jamie embraced high school with newfound courage, knowing that asking for help was a sign of strength, not weakness.
