When I first met her, she was handing me a bowl of soup. I was suffering from the flu. Her mom and I had been friends for many years. Finally, that friendship grew into care, from care into love and marriage. Marriage brought the three of us together as a family. At first, I was afraid to be a stepfather. However, as she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to communicate with her. Once, her school required every parent to write an open and honest letter to the children. I wrote a letter about the little golden-haired girl who had brought me a bowl of soup when I needed care. A week later, the students were allowed to make a few speeches to the parents. I was anxious to hear what my daughter would say. Finally, my daughter made her way up to the microphone. “At this very moment, I just want to say... I love you, Father!” Immediately, people around me started smiling at me. For a teenage girl to say openly in the front of a room full of people, “I love you”, took a great deal of courage.

However, the mountains, valleys (山谷), hills, rivers, deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that. Changes happen all the time. The Earth is always changing because of volcanoes (火山), earthquakes and of course, wind and rain. Some of these changes are very slow and others are quick. Water and ice can make very great changes to the planet. For example, rivers of ice can cut through mountains and make lakes, and deep valleys. Many volcanoes are under the oceans and sometimes they become new islands. This is happening in the South Pacific. It’s normal for our planet to change, but at the moment, scientists think it’s changing faster than usual. According to the research, the sea level will continue to rise in the next hundred years. As a result, many cities will possibly be covered by water and much of the most productive farming areas will be lost. Some island countries are likely to disappear on the map of the world. These changes will bring great harm to the planet. However, they can be beneficial (有好处的) to some people. For example, as the Arctic (北极) is getting warmer, some people in Greenland now own businesses and sell vegetables they grow on their land. 46. How does the writer describe the changes of the Earth in Paragraph 2? A. By giving examples. B. By comparing things. C. By telling stories. D. By listing numbers. 47. What does the writer mainly tell in Paragraph 3? A. The age of the Earth. B. Problems for the planet. C. Changes are good for farming. D. Influences on the mountains. 48. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. The Arctic. B. The planet. C. The weather. D. The changes. 49. In which column of the newspaper can we most probably find this text? A. Art. B. Advertisement. C. Business. D. Environment. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. D 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了地球一直在变化，火山、地震、风雨等都会带来改变，有些变化缓慢，有些迅速，水和冰能对地球产生巨大改变，目前地球变化比平常快，这既会带来危害，对部分人也有好处。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For example, rivers of ice can cut through mountains and make lakes and deep valleys. Many volcanoes are under the oceans and sometimes they become new islands.”可知，作者通过举例冰川切割山脉形成湖泊和山谷，海底火山形成新岛屿等例子来描述地球的变化。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s normal for our planet to change, but at the moment...Some island countries are likely to disappear on the map of the world.”可知，第三段主要讲了地球变化加快带来的问题，如海平面上升、城市被淹、农田丧失、岛屿国家消失等。故选B。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“These changes will bring great harm to the planet. However, they can be beneficial (有好处的) to some people.”可知，这些变化对地球有害，但对部分人有益，“they”指代前文提到的“changes”。故选D。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要围绕地球的变化展开，包括变化的原因、速度、影响等，属于环境方面的内容，所以最有可能在报纸的环境专栏找到这篇文章。故选D。 E Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. Then about 3,500 years ago, they made a sundial (日晷), smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. But on cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. Water flows (流动) from one container to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical (机械的) clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries, it was developed. This enabled (使得) people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz watch was developed. It’s cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital (数码的) clock. And nowadays satellites (卫星) send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. 50. Which can not tell the time on a rainy day according to the passage? A. The water clock. B. The sun clock. C. The digital clock. D. The mobile phone. 51. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 52. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The importance of time. B. The development of timekeeping. C. The inventions of clocks. D. The difficulties of making clocks. 【答案】50. B 51. C 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了计时方式的发展历程。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But on cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial.”可知，在阴天或者夜晚，用太阳钟无法判断时间，下雨天也属于阴天情况，所以太阳钟在雨天不能判断时间。故选B。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。文章依次提到了“sun clock（太阳钟）”“sundial（日晷）”“water clocks（水钟）”“mechanical clock（机械钟）”“quartz watch（石英表）”“digital clock（数码钟）”，共六种。故选C。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.”可知，几个世纪以来人们发展出了不同的计时方式，接着详细介绍了不同时期不同的计时工具，所以本文主要讲的是计时的发展。故选B。 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 90s-born sugar artist, Cui Jiuxiang, has got popular online because of his beautiful and real “Sugar Dragon”.

This makes Cui’s sugar art different.”可知，崔久祥的糖画独特在于他将普通糖果转化为精美的艺术品。故填He turns common candy into amazing pieces of art. 【54题详解】 根据“Cui began to put short videos online.”可知，他通过发布短视频向更多人介绍糖画。故填By putting short videos online. 【55题详解】 根据全文对崔久祥目标的描述，尤其是“Cui hopes not only to protect China’s sugar art, but also...”可推知，他希望通过努力不仅保护糖画艺术，还要进一步推广传统文化。结合前文“introduce the special beauty…to people”及“set up a sugar art cultural exhibition space”可推断空白处应表达传承或推广的意图。故填to pass on the traditional culture to the next generation。 第四部分 写(共两大题，满分25分) Ⅸ.单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

The following sections will show you what they need to survive (生存). Plants use light to make their own food. If you leave a plant near a window, it will bend (弯曲) and grow toward the light. It tries to get as much sunshine as possible. Plants need water to survive and stay strong. When a plant does not get enough water, its stem (茎) will become soft and hang down, and its leaves will be weak and dry. Plants will grow best when the temperature is just right for them. Some plants like hot weather, while others prefer cooler conditions. All plants need air. They use the gas carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) from air to make food, and they use oxygen from air to give off energy from food. 36. Why does a plant grow toward the outside when it is placed near the window? A. Because it tries to get enough sunlight to make food. B. Because it can get more water to become strong. C.

Her mom and I had been friends for many years. Finally, that friendship grew into care, from care into love and marriage. Marriage brought the three of us together as a family. At first, I was afraid to be a stepfather. However, as she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to communicate with her. Once, her school required every parent to write an open and honest letter to the children. I wrote a letter about the little golden-haired girl who had brought me a bowl of soup when I needed care. A week later, the students were allowed to make a few speeches to the parents. I was anxious to hear what my daughter would say. Finally, my daughter made her way up to the microphone. “At this very moment, I just want to say... I love you, Father!” Immediately, people around me started smiling at me. For a teenage girl to say openly in the front of a room full of people, “I love you”, took a great deal of courage. Since then, I have come to understand that I didn’t need to have any fear about being a stepfather. 39. When did the girl bring the soup to the writer? A. When he was four. B. When he was ill. C. After she grew up. D. After she got the letter. 40. What was the relationship between the girl and the writer? A. Pen friends. B. Wife and husband. C. Girlfriend and boyfriend. D. Stepdaughter and stepfather. 41. Which word is the closest in meaning to “anxious” in Paragraph 4? A. Unexpected. B. Surprised. C. Worried. D. Afraid. 42. What do we learn from this story? A. True love will make people close. B. Friendship can grow into marriage. C. Don’t be afraid to be a stepfather. D. We need courage to say “I love you”. C At the 2025 Spring Festival Gala (春晚), a special dance amazed millions of viewers. Sixteen humanoid robots, dressed in colorful jackets, performed a traditional Chinese folk dance called Yangge alongside human dancers. This eye-catching show, directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, mixed old culture with new technology. The robots moved smoothly, twirling handkerchiefs (转手绢) in perfect time with the music, showing China’s progress in robotics. These robots were made by Unitree a company from Hangzhou, also known as Yushu Technology. The model, called H1, stands about 180 cm tall and uses smart AI to control its actions. Launched (上市) in 2023, the H1 can walk, jump, and now even dance naturally, thanks to recent improvements. Unitree’s work is part of China’s big plan to lead in robotics by 2025, as set by the government in 2023. The gala performance proved how fast China is developing in this field. People watching around the world were impressed (印象深刻的). Many said it showed China’s ability to combine (结合) tradition with modern science. From helping at home to performing on stage, robots like the H1 are changing lives and making China a leader in technology. 43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The robots performed a modern dance. B. The show was directed by a famous actor. C. The robots used AI to control their actions. D. The robots were made by a foreign company. 44. What can the H1 robot do besides dancing? A. Sing and talk. B. Walk and jump. C. Cook and clean. D. Paint and draw. 45. What is the writer’s attitude towards China’s technological development in this passage? A. Afraid. B. Crazy. C. Proud. D. Meaningless. D Scientists believe the Earth is 4.6 billion years old. However, the mountains, valleys (山谷), hills, rivers, deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that. Changes happen all the time. The Earth is always changing because of volcanoes (火山), earthquakes and of course, wind and rain. Some of these changes are very slow and others are quick. Water and ice can make very great changes to the planet. For example, rivers of ice can cut through mountains and make lakes, and deep valleys. Many volcanoes are under the oceans and sometimes they become new islands. This is happening in the South Pacific. It’s normal for our planet to change, but at the moment, scientists think it’s changing faster than usual. According to the research, the sea level will continue to rise in the next hundred years. As a result, many cities will possibly be covered by water and much of the most productive farming areas will be lost. Some island countries are likely to disappear on the map of the world. These changes will bring great harm to the planet. However, they can be beneficial (有好处的) to some people. For example, as the Arctic (北极) is getting warmer, some people in Greenland now own businesses and sell vegetables they grow on their land. 46. How does the writer describe the changes of the Earth in Paragraph 2? A. By giving examples. B. By comparing things. C. By telling stories. D. By listing numbers. 47. What does the writer mainly tell in Paragraph 3? A. The age of the Earth. B. Problems for the planet. C. Changes are good for farming. D. Influences on the mountains. 48. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. The Arctic. B. The planet. C. The weather. D. The changes. 49. In which column of the newspaper can we most probably find this text? A. Art. B. Advertisement. C. Business. D. Environment. E Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. Then about 3,500 years ago, they made a sundial (日晷), smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. But on cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. Water flows (流动) from one container to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical (机械的) clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries, it was developed. This enabled (使得) people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz watch was developed. It’s cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital (数码的) clock. And nowadays satellites (卫星) send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. 50. Which can not tell the time on a rainy day according to the passage? A. The water clock. B. The sun clock. C. The digital clock. D. The mobile phone. 51. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 52. What does the passage mainly talk about? A.
