Common reasons for not eating breakfast include not having enough time, not feeling hungry, and dieting (节食). Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. You eat nothing for at least 6 to 12 hours each night. Even though you have been sleeping, you have still been burning energy (能量). And in the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead. A good breakfast should give you up to 1/3 of your total calories (卡路里) that your body needs for the day. Generally speaking, we eat 400 fewer calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t interest you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning. If you still aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or bread or have a healthy mid-morning snack later when you are hungry. So, you say you’re on a diet. Some people are afraid that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is possible to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That’s because your body is working correctly. Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in fact you’re probably not. Not having breakfast can make you overeat, because a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel hungry later. To make things worse, since your body is working slowly, it will not be able to burn those extra calories well. If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you may not become hungry so easily and eat too much when you have meals. Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, your choice is important. The best breakfast foods are fruit, juice, and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals. 25. According to the passage, what is the result of not having breakfast? A. It can make people overeat. B. It can make people lose weight. C. It can make people lose interest in breakfast. D. It can make people fall down. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Breakfast gives us most of the energy for the day. B. Eating breakfast helps our body work well. C Eating breakfast may help to save dinner. D. Breakfast might make people overweight. 27. What’s the passage mainly about? A. It’s mainly about breakfast and dieting. B. It’s mainly about what to eat for breakfast. C. It’s mainly about breakfast and energy. D. It’s mainly about the importance of breakfast. 【答案】25 A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要阐述了早餐的重要性及其对身体健康的影响。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Not having breakfast can make you overeat, because a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel hungry later.”可知，不吃早餐会导致暴饮暴食。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s true that eating breakfast is possible to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That’s because your body is working correctly”可知，吃早餐有助于身体正常运作。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕早餐的重要性展开，包括其与能量补充、饮食习惯和健康的关系。故选D。 D I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-cost culture. As a society, we honor the champion (冠军). We cheer for those people who win championships. Winning at all costs has become acceptable. We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process, and particularly when the end result is a win, usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful” coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better. And the motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key ingredient was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win. 28. The underlined phrase “gets swept under the proverbial rug” probably means “_________”. A. shows the result B. does some harm C. catches little attention D. decides the success 29. The writer mentions his experience as the head coach to show _________. A. it’s difficult to be a coach B. how his team won championships C. why his team asked him for a meeting D. it’s better to motivate others than to give orders 30. Which of the following is a real success in life? A. A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B. A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C. A coach who respects his members even though the team didn’t win. D. A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 31. The writer probably agrees that _________. A. we shouldn’t plan for the end result B. winning doesn’ t always mean success C. a good coach often wants his team to win D. it’ s time for us to change the way we live 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了胜利并不等于成功，并用自己做教练的经历来论述这个观点，作者认为激励更加重要。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文可知，人们更加专注于结果而不是过程。根据“and particularly when the end result is a win, usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug.”可知，how代表的是过程，人们对于过程是不太重视的。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won.”以及第六段“It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better.”可知，作者讲述做教练的经历是为了说明激励他人比命令他人更重要。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won.”可知，我意识到我需要支持我们的学生运动员，不仅仅是在他们取得胜利的时候，即使没有取得胜利也要尊重他们。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success.”可知，胜利并不等于成功。故选B。 第二节：（共10分，每小题2分） 阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。 During my childhood, I didn’t have much interest in reading. However, when I entered middle school, I began listening to audiobooks and grew to love it. Now, I manage to finish a couple of audiobooks each month. While reading a printed book allows more freedom to re-read paragraphs that you didn’t quite catch, go back to look something up from earlier in the book or even write down some notes in the margin (页边空白), audiobooks have their own benefits. They are especially enjoyable and convenient for both kids and adults. Besides, you can multitask while listening and get through books faster. I often listen to audiobooks before reading paper ones in order to better understand some difficult parts. Listening is necessary for all kinds of learning, including reading. I can now enjoy longer books that I might not have had the patience to read, and my ability to focus on audiobooks carries over to my skill in focusing on a written text. To me, the coolest thing about audiobooks is the role of the narrator (朗读者). When you listen to audiobooks, the narrators do much of the “work” for you, which can be very pleasing when they are skilled. I like the sense of reading with someone who understands and loves the material. I remember listening to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory narrated by the author (作者) himself. It was a truly magical experience! Audiobooks have become a big part of my life. At home, I love sitting on the sofa, losing myself in a good story, and then I share my thoughts with my parents. It’s not just about enjoying a good book; it’s about creating shared moments and conversations. Audiobooks have changed my life. They make reading fun by bringing stories to life through skilled narrators and discussing audiobooks with family adds a joyful richness to my everyday moments. 32. When did the writer begin listening to audiobooks? _________________________________ 33. Why does the writer often listen to audiobooks before reading paper ones? _________________________________ 34. What is the coolest thing about audiobooks to the writer? _________________________________ 35. Do you like listening to audiobooks? Why or why not?

In order to better understand some difficult parts./Because the writer wants to better understand some difficult parts. 34. The role of the narrator. 35. Yes. Because it makes reading fun and it is very convenient. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了有声读物，以及作者对有声读物的看法。 【32题详解】 根据“However, when I entered middle school, I began listening to audiobooks and grew to love it.”可知，当作者上初中时开始听有声读物。故填When the writer entered middle school. 【33题详解】 根据“I often listen to audiobooks before reading paper ones in order to better understand some difficult parts.”可知，作者经常先听有声读物再阅读纸质书籍，是为了更好地理解一些难懂的内容。故填In order to better understand some difficult parts./Because the writer wants to better understand some difficult parts. 【34题详解】 根据“To me, the coolest thing about audiobooks is the role of the narrator”可知，对于作者来说，有声读物最酷的地方是叙述者的角色。故填The role of the narrator. 【35题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。通读全文可知，有声读物能使阅读充满乐趣，并且十分方便。参考答案为Yes. Because it makes reading fun and it is very convenient. 第三部分 书面表达（共15分） 第一节：根据中文意思完成句子。（共5分，每小题1分） 36. 我不介意做调查，但我讨厌一个人做。 I don’t ________ research, but I hate doing it alone. 【答案】mind doing 【解析】 【详解】“介意做某事”mind doing sth，don’t后跟动词原形；“做研究”do research。故填mind doing。 37. 瞧这速度！她今天真的是在最佳状态。 Look at the speed!

When she arrived at the boarding gate, a flight attendant (乘务员) was waiting. “Hurry up, Miss. We’re all ready to take off!” she said to Kate. Kate shyly handed over her ticket. “I’m sorry. I’m not used to flying. In fact, this is my first-ever flight.” she said worriedly. “Really?” said the lady kindly. “Well, let’s see what we can do to help you. Wait here!” The lady moved away and had a quick talk with someone over her radio. A few moments later, she was back. “You are the last passenger to board, so I will come with you to the plane.” she said. She guided Kate to the door of the plane. Kate was surprised to see who was waiting for her. It was the captain (机长). “Welcome, Kate,” smiled the captain. “How would you like to sit up in the cockpit (驾驶舱) with me for your first flight?” Kate looked at the captain in surprise. “Am I really allowed to do that?” she asked. “Of course!” was the answer. “I’m the captain, and I like to treat (款待) all my first time passengers to a trip to remember!” So Kate took a seat beside the captain. Thanks to the attendant and the captain, Kate’s first flight was a very unforgettable experience. She was so excited that she couldn’t wait to tell her friends all about her experience in the air! 22. Why did Kate feel worried at first? A. She was late for the flight. B.

An Unforgettable Flight C Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many people don’t have it. Common reasons for not eating breakfast include not having enough time, not feeling hungry, and dieting (节食). Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. You eat nothing for at least 6 to 12 hours each night. Even though you have been sleeping, you have still been burning energy (能量). And in the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead. A good breakfast should give you up to 1/3 of your total calories (卡路里) that your body needs for the day. Generally speaking, we eat 400 fewer calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t interest you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning. If you still aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or bread or have a healthy mid-morning snack later when you are hungry. So, you say you’re on a diet. Some people are afraid that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is possible to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That’s because your body is working correctly. Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in fact you’re probably not. Not having breakfast can make you overeat, because a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel hungry later. To make things worse, since your body is working slowly, it will not be able to burn those extra calories well. If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you may not become hungry so easily and eat too much when you have meals. Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, your choice is important. The best breakfast foods are fruit, juice, and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals. 25. According to the passage, what is the result of not having breakfast? A. It can make people overeat. B. It can make people lose weight. C. It can make people lose interest in breakfast. D. It can make people fall down. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Breakfast gives us most of the energy for the day. B. Eating breakfast helps our body work well. C. Eating breakfast may help to save dinner. D. Breakfast might make people overweight. 27. What’s the passage mainly about? A. It’s mainly about breakfast and dieting. B. It’s mainly about what to eat for breakfast. C It’s mainly about breakfast and energy. D. It’s mainly about the importance of breakfast. D I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-cost culture. As a society, we honor the champion (冠军). We cheer for those people who win championships. Winning at all costs has become acceptable. We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process, and particularly when the end result is a win, usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug. We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other “successful” coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I realized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won. It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better. And the motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key ingredient was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let’s think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win. 28. The underlined phrase “gets swept under the proverbial rug” probably means “_________”. A. shows the result B. does some harm C. catches little attention D. decides the success 29. The writer mentions his experience as the head coach to show _________. A. it’s difficult to be a coach B. how his team won championships C. why his team asked him for a meeting D. it’s better to motivate others than to give orders 30. Which of the following is a real success in life? A. A kid who shows the medals and prizes he won to his parents. B. A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C. A coach who respects his members even though the team didn’t win. D. A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid gets in the exams. 31. The writer probably agrees that _________. A. we shouldn’t plan for the end result B. winning doesn’ t always mean success C. a good coach often wants his team to win D. it’ s time for us to change the way we live 第二节：（共10分，每小题2分） 阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。 During my childhood, I didn’t have much interest in reading. However, when I entered middle school, I began listening to audiobooks and grew to love it. Now, I manage to finish a couple of audiobooks each month. While reading a printed book allows more freedom to re-read paragraphs that you didn’t quite catch, go back to look something up from earlier in the book or even write down some notes in the margin (页边空白), audiobooks have their own benefits. They are especially enjoyable and convenient for both kids and adults. Besides, you can multitask while listening and get through books faster. I often listen to audiobooks before reading paper ones in order to better understand some difficult parts. Listening is necessary for all kinds of learning, including reading. I can now enjoy longer books that I might not have had the patience to read, and my ability to focus on audiobooks carries over to my skill in focusing on a written text. To me, the coolest thing about audiobooks is the role of the narrator (朗读者). When you listen to audiobooks, the narrators do much of the “work” for you, which can be very pleasing when they are skilled. I like the sense of reading with someone who understands and loves the material. I remember listening to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory narrated by the author (作者) himself. It was a truly magical experience! Audiobooks have become a big part of my life. At home, I love sitting on the sofa, losing myself in a good story, and then I share my thoughts with my parents. It’s not just about enjoying a good book; it’s about creating shared moments and conversations. Audiobooks have changed my life They make reading fun by bringing stories to life through skilled narrators and discussing audiobooks with family adds a joyful richness to my everyday moments. 32.
