Now, it has also won global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. On Nov. 29, Chinese traditional tea processing skills and their related social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. More importantly, China’s tea culture has formed Chinese customs. It is Chinese traditional custom that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads, “I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright.” Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods, dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs and fruits. During this process, people can enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method become more popular—steeping (冲泡). ________. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40,000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled tea” (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times. Through “stove-boiled tea”, people can taste a slower life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “It is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze, and chat with best friends.” 14．The writer introduces the topic by ________.

Now, it has also won global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.”可知作者通过陈述事实来介绍这个话题。故选D。 15．细节理解题。根据第三段中“It is Chinese traditional custom that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea.”可知用煮好的茶来欢迎客人是一个古老的传统。故选D。 16．推理判断题。根据“On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40,000 posts on the topic of ‘stove-boiled tea’.”可知“围炉煮茶”这个传统又重新流行起来，此处填“These days, the old method is making a comeback”表示“现在，旧方法正在卷土重来”。故选B。 17．写作目的题。本文主要介绍了中国传统的茶文化。作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁年轻人更多地了解中国传统茶，故选C。 C A new study has found that people who use facial (面部的) expressions often are more popular and better at negotiating. Negotiating means discussing something with others to reach an agreement. At Nottingham Trent University in England, researchers studied more than 1,500 conversations between people. They set up video calls to record people’s natural reactions and expressions. They used a system called FACS to measure how expressive people’s faces were. Then, they showed the recordings to 170 people and asked them to rate (评定等级) the popularity of the people in the videos from their facial expressions. In another part of the study, researchers recorded video conversations between 1,456 strangers and studied their expressions. On average (平均), people made 71 facial movements per minute. After the conversations, the people who had been talking to each other had to rate how much they liked each other. The results showed that those with more expressive faces were more liked by their conversation partners. During the conversations, the people were also given a negotiation task. The more expressive people usually got better results. The researchers believe that using facial expressions makes people look more friendly and helps them connect with others. They also think that being expressive is important for solving disagreements successfully. Professor Bridget Waller, who worked on the study, said the research may explain why humans have developed more complex (复杂的) facial expressions than other animals. Waller added that facial expressions are not just to show feelings, but also a way of communicating alongside words. 18．The researchers at Nottingham Trent University studied people’s facial expressions by ______. A．asking people to fill out surveys B．watching people carefully in person C．using a computer program D．using a video recording system 19．What did the results of the study show about people with more expressive faces?

B．They are more complex in humans than in other animals. C．They are more important than words in communication. D．They are used mainly to show people’s feelings. 21．What’s the passage mainly about? A．Facial Expressions Win Friends. B．The Power of Words in Negotiation. C．Facial Expressions Across Cultures. D．Complex Facial Expressions in Humans. 【答案】18．D 19．A 20．B 21．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于面部表情如何影响人际互动和谈判效果的研究，研究结果表明面部表情丰富的人更受欢迎，并在谈判中表现更佳。 18．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“At Nottingham Trent University in England, researchers studied more than 1,500 conversations between people. They set up video calls to record people’s natural reactions and expressions.”可知，英国诺丁汉特伦特大学的研究人员通过视频录制系统研究了人们的面部表情。故选D。 19．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The results showed that those with more expressive faces were more liked by their conversation partners.”可知，研究结果表明，面部表情更丰富的人在交谈伙伴中更受欢迎。故选A。 20．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Professor Bridget Waller, who worked on the study, said the research may explain why humans have developed more complex (复杂的) facial expressions than other animals. Waller added that facial expressions are not just to show feelings, but also a way of communicating alongside words.”可知，Bridget Waller教授认为，面部表情不仅仅是表达情感，还是一种与言语并行的交流方式，而人类拥有比其他动物更复杂的面部表情。故选B。 21．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A new study has found that people who use facial (面部的) expressions often are more popular and better at negotiating.”可知，文章主要介绍了研究发现使用面部表情的人更受欢迎且更擅长谈判，即面部表情能够赢得朋友。故选A。 D “Sarah, dear, time to get out of bed,” Mr. Hartwell said, poking his head through the bedroom doorway. “You don’t want to miss the first day at your new school, do you?” “I’m not going,” said Sarah, and pulled the covers over her head. “Of course you’re going, honey,” said Mr. Hartwel. “No, I’m not. I don’t want to start over again. I hate my new school,” Sarah said. She tunneled down to the end of her bed. “How can you hate your new school?” Mr. Hartwell chuckled (咯咯地笑). “You’ve never been there before! Don’t worry. You liked your other school, you’ll like this one. Besides, just think of all the new friends you’ll meet.” “That’s just it. I don’t know anybody, and it will be hard, and ... I just hate it, that’s all.” “What will everyone think if you aren’t there? We told them you were coming!” “They will think that I am lucky and they will wish that they were at home in bed like me.” Mr. Hartwell sighed. “Sarah Jane Hartwell, I’m not playing this silly game one second longer. I’ll see you downstairs in five minutes.” Then Sarah got out of bed. She put on her clothes. “My head hurts,” she moaned (呻吟) as she trudged into the kitchen. Mr. Hartwell handed Sarah a piece of toast and her lunchbox. They walked to the car. Sarah’s hands were cold. They drove down the street. She couldn’t breathe. And then they were there. “I feel sick,” said Sarah weakly. “You’ll love your new school once you get started. Oh, look. There’s your headmaster, Mrs. Burton.” said Mr. Hartwell. “Oh, Sarah,” Mrs. Burton said. “There you are. Come on. I’ll show you where to go.” She led Sarah into the building and walked quickly through the crowded hallways. “Don’t worry. Everyone is nervous the first day,” she said over her shoulder as Sarah rushed to keep up. When they got to the classroom, most of the children were already in their seats. The class looked up as Mrs. Burton cleared her throat. “Class. Class. Attention, please,” said Mrs. Burton. When the class was quiet, she led Sarah to the front of the room and said, “Class, I would like you to meet your new teacher, Mrs. Sarah Jane Hartwell.” 22．What is the main reason Sarah does not want to go to her new school? A．She doesn’t like her new teacher. B．She has a headache. C．She doesn’t know anyone at the school.

I don’t know anybody, and it will be hard, and ... I just hate it, that’s all.”可知，Sarah不想去新学校的主要原因是她不认识任何人，觉得会很难适应。故选C。 23．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Sarah Jane Hartwell, I’m not playing this silly game one second longer. I’ll see you downstairs in five minutes.”可知，Hartwell先生已经对Sarah的借口感到厌倦了，他不想再玩这种愚蠢的游戏了。故选B。 24．词句猜测题。根据文章第七段“My head hurts,” she moaned (呻吟) as she trudged into the kitchen.”可知，Sarah在走进厨房时呻吟着说头疼，结合语境可推知trudged的意思是“缓慢而沉重地走”。故选B。 25．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了Sarah在第一天去新学校时的紧张心情，包括她不想去学校的原因、在父亲的要求下勉强去学校的过程以及到学校后的紧张表现。因此，选项D“第一天的紧张”最能概括文章主旨，是正确答案。故选D。 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，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。 You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendship to last a lifetime. 26 Friends sometimes misunderstand each other. For one thing, you may want your friends to be around you, but also you need your independence (独立). For example, when one of your friends comes asking if it is all right to spend the evening in your house, sometimes you just say “no” to him or her because it is not convenient for you. 27 They believe that friends can ask for any help and the answer should always be “yes”. Also, misunderstanding sometimes happens when you ask for help. 28 But the fact is, your friends may not always drop everything to meet each of your needs. 29 The most important thing for you and your friends to do is to always show understanding and respect for each other. 30 In a true friendship, both people equally support each other. Long-term friendships provide the time to build up a history together. As you spend more time with your friend, you are creating special times and stocking up (存储) on memories. A．Sadly, not all your friends understand this type of independence. B．Someone can get lifelong friendships. C．Lifelong friendships don’t develop overnights. D．However, lifelong friendships are not always what everybody can get. E．You expect your friends to help you whenever you need. F．A good friend will help you whenever you need. G．This may make you angry with them and your friendship could end. 【答案】26．D 27．A 28．E 29．G 30．C 【导语】本文讲述了人的一生中或许会拥有许多朋友，并期望这些友谊能够持续一生。然而，现实中由于对独立性的不同理解和对友谊中帮助的期望，朋友之间可能会产生误解。 26．根据“You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendship to last a lifetime.”可知，你可能期望友谊能持续一生，但后面说“友谊有时会产生误解”，说明并不是所有友谊都能长久。选项D“然而，并不是所有人都能获得长久的友谊”符合语境。故选D。 27．根据“For example, when one of your friends comes asking if it is all right to spend the evening in your house, sometimes you just say ‘no’ to him or her because it is not convenient for you.”可知，朋友可能不理解你的拒绝，选项A“遗憾的是，并不是所有朋友都理解这种独立性”符合语境。故选A。 28．根据“Also, misunderstanding sometimes happens when you ask for help.”和“But the fact is, your friends may not always drop everything to meet each of your needs”可知，有时候当你请求帮助时，就会产生误解。事实上，你的朋友并不总是为了满足你的每一个需求而放弃一切，选项E“你期望在你需要的时候朋友会帮助你”符合语境，说明了为什么会有误解。故选E。 29．根据“But the fact is, your friends may not always drop everything to meet each of your needs.”可知，事实上，朋友并不总是可以放下所有事情来满足你的需求，这可能会让你生气。选项G“这可能会让你对他们感到生气，你们的友谊可能会结束”符合语境。故选G。 30．根据“In a true friendship, both people equally support each other. Long-term friendships provide the time to build up a history together.”可知，友谊需要时间和努力，选项C“长期的友谊不是一夜之间发展起来的”符合语境。故选C。 第II卷(主观题共55分) 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 31． (无论何时) I see beautiful sunset, I feel peaceful. 【答案】Whenever 【详解】句意：每当我看到美丽的日落，我就感到平静。whenever“无论何时”，连词，位于句首首字母需大写。故填Whenever。 32．His parents are not (严格的) about things like homework. 【答案】strict 【详解】句意：他的父母对于像作业这样的事情并不严格。根据括号里的汉语提示可知，该空应填形容词strict“严格的”。故填strict。 33．I have many (选择) to make when it comes to choosing a career. 【答案】choices 【详解】句意：在选择职业方面，我有很多选择。根据汉语提示可知，该空应填名词choice“选择”，结合空前“many”可知，应用复数形式，即“choices”。故填choices。 34．Master Hu Zhengsheng (提醒) his students that kung fu was designed for fighting, not to entertain. 【答案】reminded 【详解】句意：胡正生师傅提醒他的学生，功夫是为战斗而设计的，不是为了娱乐。remind“提醒”，根据句意可知，时态应用一般过去时，陈述一件过去的事。故填reminded。 35．A number of Britain’s beaches fail to meet European s on cleanliness. 【答案】standards 【详解】句意：英国的许多海滩没有达到欧洲的清洁标准。根据空后汉语提示可知，该空应填名词“标准”即“standard”，表泛指，应用复数形式“standards”。故填standards。 36．Marco Polo is a by many people to be one of the greatest explorers that ever lived. 【答案】(a)dmired 【详解】句意：Marco Polo被许多人崇拜为有史以来最伟大的探险家之一。根据“by many people to be one of the greatest explorers that ever lived.”和首字母提示可知，是被许多人崇拜，admire“崇拜”，主语与谓语之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态be done。故填(a)dmired。 37．I had been waiting for twenty minutes and I was getting i . 【答案】(i) mpatient 【详解】句意：我已经等了二十分钟，我快要不耐烦了。get此处是系动词，意为“变得，变成”，后接形容词。根据“I had been waiting for twenty minutes”可知，已经等得不耐烦了，因此应填impatient“不耐烦的”。故填(i) mpatient。 38．He was so excited about the upcoming journey that he could h wait to start his new adventure. 【答案】(h)ardly 【详解】句意：他对即将到来的旅程非常兴奋以致于他迫不及待地想开始他的新冒险。根据“He was so excited about the upcoming journey that he could…wait to start his new adventure.”并结合首字母提示可知，此处是表达他几乎等不及要开始新的冒险，hardly“几乎不”，符合语境。故填(h)ardly 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从方框中选择适当的单词或短语，有一项是多余的，在横线上填入其正确形式。每个单词或短语仅用一次。 more than        early     match       appear       symbol The Chinese pingfeng (folding screen) is an ancient invention and traditional Chinese furniture (家具).

Now, it has also won global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. On Nov. 29, Chinese traditional tea processing skills and their related social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. More importantly, China’s tea culture has formed Chinese customs. It is Chinese traditional custom that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads, “I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright.” Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods, dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs and fruits. During this process, people can enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method become more popular—steeping (冲泡). ________. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40,000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled tea” (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times. Through “stove-boiled tea”, people can taste a slower life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “It is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze, and chat with best friends.” 14．The writer introduces the topic by ________. A．asking questions B．listing numbers C．telling stories D．stating facts 15．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.

A．Let’s try the old method of boiling tea in spare time B．These days, the old method is making a comeback C．Chinese invented many different ways of drinking tea D．Therefore, it is a good choice to drink tea with friends 17．The writer writes this passage to ________. A．introduce a popular way of making tea, “stove-boiled tea” B．invite more and more people around the world to visit China C．call on the young to learn more about Chinese traditional tea D．show how popular and interesting the app Xiaohongshu is C A new study has found that people who use facial (面部的) expressions often are more popular and better at negotiating. Negotiating means discussing something with others to reach an agreement. At Nottingham Trent University in England, researchers studied more than 1,500 conversations between people. They set up video calls to record people’s natural reactions and expressions. They used a system called FACS to measure how expressive people’s faces were. Then, they showed the recordings to 170 people and asked them to rate (评定等级) the popularity of the people in the videos from their facial expressions. In another part of the study, researchers recorded video conversations between 1,456 strangers and studied their expressions. On average (平均), people made 71 facial movements per minute. After the conversations, the people who had been talking to each other had to rate how much they liked each other. The results showed that those with more expressive faces were more liked by their conversation partners. During the conversations, the people were also given a negotiation task. The more expressive people usually got better results. The researchers believe that using facial expressions makes people look more friendly and helps them connect with others. They also think that being expressive is important for solving disagreements successfully. Professor Bridget Waller, who worked on the study, said the research may explain why humans have developed more complex (复杂的) facial expressions than other animals. Waller added that facial expressions are not just to show feelings, but also a way of communicating alongside words. 18．The researchers at Nottingham Trent University studied people’s facial expressions by ______. A．asking people to fill out surveys B．watching people carefully in person C．using a computer program D．using a video recording system 19．What did the results of the study show about people with more expressive faces? A．They were usually more popular among conversation partners. B．They were usually less liked by their conversation partners. C．They usually got worse results during the negotiation task. D．They were likely to talk more about the task than other people. 20．What do facial expressions mean by Professor Bridget Waller? A．They are the only way humans communicate. B．They are more complex in humans than in other animals. C．They are more important than words in communication. D．They are used mainly to show people’s feelings. 21．What’s the passage mainly about? A．Facial Expressions Win Friends. B．The Power of Words in Negotiation. C．Facial Expressions Across Cultures. D．Complex Facial Expressions in Humans.

I don’t want to start over again. I hate my new school,” Sarah said.

Also, misunderstanding sometimes happens when you ask for help. 28 But the fact is, your friends may not always drop everything to meet each of your needs. 29 The most important thing for you and your friends to do is to always show understanding and respect for each other. 30 In a true friendship, both people equally support each other.
