【解析】
【原文】W: Hello, everyone. I’m Nancy. I studied abroad at Manchester Metropolitan University in the year 2019. It is one with the third largest number of students in the UK. Many teachers there are top experts in the nation. There is also an unbelievable amount of exchange students from all over the world. In my class, we have students from South Korea, Australia, France, and so on. Because of the cultural differences, we were not used to some of the behaviors of each other at the beginning; there were some misunderstandings. It was a hard time. Then I began to travel. Beautiful scenery healed everything. I visited the neighboring regions at first, and then expanded into faraway places. Traveling taught me a lot, including dealing with strangers from different cultures, reading, writing, and keeping independent. Finally, my relationships with my classmates developed into unique friendships. Exploring the world became my lifetime hobby later. I got a new world view and developed cross-cultural awareness. My experience abroad opened thousands of doors that I had never known. So if you have an opportunity to study abroad, just go.

B
Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, Calif., walked to the end of it and started looking at birds. Since then, my birder craziness about bird-watching has progressed at an alarming speed. I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone.
While birding, I seem unaffected by heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses concentrate wholly on the present, and the usual hubbub (躁动) in my head becomes quiet. When I spot a species for the first time — a lifer — I course with adrenaline (肾上腺素) while being entirely calm. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world. The passing of the seasons feels more distinct, marked by the arrival and disappearance of particular species instead of much slower changes in day length, temperature and greenery. I find myself noticing small shifts in the weather and small differences in habitat. I think about the tides (潮汐).
So much more of the natural world feels close and accessible now. When I started birding, I remember thinking that I’d never see most of the species in my field guide. I had thought of the idea of nature as distant and remote — the province of nature documentaries and far-off vacations. But in the past six months, I’ve seen golden eagles and marveled at diving Pacific birds, all within an hour of my house.
It’s easy to think of birding as an escape from reality. Instead, I see it as total engagement in the true reality. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is saying about them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to find a rare bird. It’s very clear to me which of those two activities is more laughable. It’s not the one with the bird.
24. What is the author?
A. A professional bird photographer. B. A nature lover for bird-watching.
C. A scientist studying birds in the wetland. D. A travel blogger focusing on bird-watching
25. What happens to the author during bird-watching?
A. He is easily affected and gets excited. B. He becomes quite peaceful and focused.
C. He desires to watch birds in distant areas. D. He pays little attention to season changes.
26. What does the underlined word “marveled” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Satisfied. B. Uninterested. C. Concerned. D. Amazed.
27. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the best bird-watching spots near Oakland.
B. To explain how to identify different bird species effectively.
C. To share the experiences and changes brought by bird-watching.
D. To argue that bird-watching is better than social media activities.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者自去年9月开始观鸟后热情高涨,观鸟时专注平静,感受到与自然的紧密联结,改变了对“自然遥远”的认知,认为观鸟是对真实现实的投入,而非逃避。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, Calif., walked to the end of it and started looking at birds. Since then, my birder craziness about bird-watching has progressed at an alarming speed. I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone.(去年九月,我驱车前往加利福尼亚州奥克兰市附近的一处受保护的湿地,走到湿地尽头后便开始观察鸟类。从那以后,我对观鸟的痴迷程度以惊人的速度不断加深。截至目前,我已经观察到了452种鸟类,仅今年一年就观察到了307种)”可知,作者是一位热衷于观鸟的自然爱好者。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“My senses concentrate wholly on the present, and the usual hubbub (躁动) in my head becomes quiet. When I spot a species for the first time — a lifer — I course with adrenaline (肾上腺素) while being entirely calm.(我的感官完全专注于当下,脑海中以往的杂乱思绪也随之平息下来。当我首次见到某种物种——也就是那种让我铭记一生的物种时,我会因兴奋而心跳加速,但同时又能保持镇定)”可知,在观鸟的过程中,作者会变得非常平静且专注。故选B。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I had thought of the idea of nature as distant and remote — the province of nature documentaries and far-off vacations.(我曾将大自然视为遥远而神秘的存在——那是自然纪录片的领域,也是遥远的度假之地的专属)”、“I’ve seen golden eagles(我看到了金雕)”以及上文but表示转折,可知,前文提到作者曾认为自然遥远,而如今在离家不远的地方见到金雕和俯冲的太平洋鸟类,结合语境“marveled at”应表示“惊叹、惊奇”。故划线词意思是“惊奇的”。故选D。
【27题详解】

During my 18 years of teaching in urban areas, I taught math to primary and middle school students. I’ve spent lots of time asking myself: How can we make math education more equitable (公平合理的) for all students?
Too often, what get emphasized in math education are students’ weaknesses and gaps, how they don’t meet standards, and how they’re behind. This leads to a culture of low expectations and results in students having low expectations for themselves. However, as research has shown, learning math is not so much about the brains students were born with. It’s about the messages they receive, the opportunities they have and the way they approach learning. So schools should do something to change these things.
The first way is to offer teachers professional development that provides strategies for identifying students’ strengths. If teachers can know a student’s strength and then connect it to the math being taught in the classroom, there will be major shifts in that student’s attitude.
Teachers can also build equity by offering feedback that helps students understand that they can learn from their mistakes, adjust their thinking and deepen their understanding of math. Phil Daro, who helped create the Common Core State Standards Initiative, says, “Correct answers are a must… but they’re part of the process; they’re not the product. The product is the math the kids walk away with in their heads. Educators tend to focus on the answer, and I’m not saying we shouldn’t focus on getting the right answers. But there is more to math than that. Powerful learning can happen when students get things wrong.”
Besides, teachers can build equity by showing students how people have always used math. For example, a 40,000-year-old artifact (手工艺品) from sub-Saharan Africa called the Lebombo bone has distinct mathematical markings on it — showing that cultures all over the world have used math for tens of thousands of years. Highlighting how different people and different cultures use math helps students know that math is from everywhere, in everything and for everyone.
28. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 2?
A. Students’ low grades in maths.
B. The outdated learning materials.
C. Teachers’ educational backgrounds.
D. The unreasonable evaluation criteria.
29. What can be inferred from Phil Daro’s words in paragraph 4?
A. Students ought to avoid making mistakes in math.
B. It’s necessary for students to do more math exercises.
C. Learning math means more than getting right answers.
D. It’s hard for students to get answers to math problems.
30. Why does the author mention the Lebombo bone?
A. To inform us about cultural diversity.
B. To show the long history of using math.
C. To remind us to explore the origin of math.
D. To stress the intelligence of ancient people.
31. Who is the text probably written for?
A. Educators. B. Middle school students.
C. The general public. D. Parents.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨城市数学教育中存在的不公平问题,提出通过关注学生优势、优化反馈方式、融入多元文化等策略实现公平教育。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词上文“Too often, what get emphasized in math education are students’ weaknesses and gaps, how they don’t meet standards, and how they’re behind.(在数学教育中,人们往往强调的是学生的弱点和不足,他们如何不符合标准,以及他们如何落后。)”可知,“This”指代前文提到的这种只关注学生不足、忽视其优势的不合理评价标准。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Phil Daro, who helped create the Common Core State Standards Initiative, says, “Correct answers are a must… but they’re part of the process; they’re not the product. The product is the math the kids walk away with in their heads. Educators tend to focus on the answer, and I’m not saying we shouldn’t focus on getting the right answers. But there is more to math than that. (参与制定“共同核心州立标准倡议”的Phil Daro表示:“正确答案是必需的…… 但它们只是过程的一部分,而非最终成果。真正的成果是孩子们脑中留存的数学能力。教育工作者往往侧重于答案本身,我并不是说我们不该关注得出正确答案,但数学的意义远不止于此。”)”可知,Phil Daro认为学习数学的核心是掌握知识本身,而不仅仅是追求正确答案,即学习数学的意义不止于得到正确答案。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“For example, a 40,000-year-old artifact from sub-Saharan Africa called the Lebombo bone has distinct mathematical markings on it — showing that cultures all over the world have used math for tens of thousands of years.(例如,一件来自撒哈拉以南非洲、有4万年历史的名为莱邦博骨的手工艺品上有明显的数学标记——这表明世界各地的文化在数万年前就已经在使用数学了。)”可知,作者提及莱邦博骨是为了举例说明数学的使用有着悠久的历史,以此让学生了解数学的普遍性。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的“So schools should do something to change these things.(因此,学校应该采取一些措施来改变这些情况。)”、第三段中的“The first way is to offer teachers professional development that provides strategies for identifying students’ strengths.(第一种方法是为教师提供专业发展机会,教授他们识别学生优势的策略。)”等内容可知,文章围绕如何改善数学教育公平性展开,提出的建议均针对学校和教师,因此本文很可能是写给教育工作者的。故选A项。
D
“At what English level can my child start reading English magazines?” This is a common question from parents. Typically, once a child reaches KET Grade A (Excellent) or above, it’s a good time to introduce magazine reading — this is a key step to boost their English skills. However, English magazines fall into two categories: domestically (国内地) published versions and international original versions, each with distinct features. Choosing the right one ensures efficient learning.
International original magazines shine in language quality: their expressions are authentic (真实的) and vivid, with flexible vocabulary use, making them perfect for experiencing real-world English. Yet they have disadvantages: cultural differences may lead to misinterpretation, and since content is ungraded, unexpected difficult words often pop up, making comprehension more difficult.
Domestically published magazines, by contrast, are more learner-friendly: they have clear difficulty levels, with Chinese explanations for tough words to lower reading difficulty. Critically, Chinese middle and high school reading comprehension questions are often adapted from international magazine texts — and domestic versions act as “tailored (定做的) practice materials” for these exams. Their downside is that the language can feel overly “textbook-like,” lacking the liveliness of original versions.
Choose based on your goals: if you want to practice authentic English and build vivid vocabulary (and can handle minor comprehension challenges), international originals are ideal. If you aim to improve exam scores or enhance reading skills steadily, domestically published magazines are more suitable.
What’s your child’s current English level? You could match it to the right magazine type using their recent English test results — would you like to help decide on a suitable option?
32. When can children begin reading English magazines?
A. Having mastered the vocabulary in KET textbooks.
B. Achieving a high-level performance in the KET exam.
C. Being able to understand the international original content.
D. Having prior experience with domestic English magazines.
33. Which is a disadvantage of international original English magazines?
A. Cultural gaps may cause misunderstandings.
B. They provide unneeded Chinese explanations.
C. Their vocabulary is too simple for advanced learners.
D. Their content is closely linked to textbook knowledge.
34. What is the main purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To advise parents on selecting English magazines for their children.
B. To compare the difficulty levels of two types of English magazines.
C. To prove KET Grade A is the best starting point for magazine reading.
D. To analyze the advantages of international original English magazines.
35. Which would be a suitable title for the passage?
A. KET Grade A: The Key to English Magazine Reading
B. The Advantages and Disadvantages of English Magazines
C. How to Improve English Skills Through Magazine Reading
D. International vs Domestic English Magazines: Which Is Right
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家长常问孩子何时可读英文杂志,文章指出KET级别A级及以上为宜,对比了国际原版(语言地道但有文化差异)与国内出版的版本(适配考试但偏课本化)的特点,并建议按学习目标选择。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Typically, once a child reaches KET Grade A (Excellent) or above, it’s a good time to introduce magazine reading — this is a key step to boost their English skills.(通常来说,当孩子达到KET级别A级(优秀)或更高时,就是开始让孩子阅读杂志的好时机了——这是提升他们英语水平的关键步骤)”可知,孩子在KET考试中取得高水平的成绩就可以开始阅读英文杂志。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet they have disadvantages: cultural differences may lead to misinterpretation, and since content is ungraded, unexpected difficult words often pop up, making comprehension more difficult.(然而,它们也有缺点:文化差异可能会导致误解,而且由于内容没有分级,经常会出现意想不到的难词,这使得理解变得更加困难)”可知,国际原版英文杂志的缺点是文化差异可能会导致误解。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Choose based on your goals: if you want to practice authentic English and build vivid vocabulary (and can handle minor comprehension challenges), international originals are ideal. If you aim to improve exam scores or enhance reading skills steadily, domestically published magazines are more suitable.(根据你的目标来选择:如果你希望练习地道的英语并积累丰富的词汇(并且能够应对一些基本的理解难题),那么国际原版书籍是理想的选择。如果你旨在提高考试成绩或持续提升阅读能力,那么国内出版的杂志则更为合适)”可推知,第四段的主要目的是为家长提供关于为孩子挑选英语杂志的建议。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段““At what English level can my child start reading English magazines?” This is a common question from parents. Typically, once a child reaches KET Grade A (Excellent) or above, it’s a good time to introduce magazine reading — this is a key step to boost their English skills. However, English magazines fall into two categories: domestically (国内地) published versions and international original versions, each with distinct features. Choosing the right one ensures efficient learning.(“我的孩子在什么英语水平阶段可以开始阅读英语杂志呢?”这是家长们常有的疑问。通常情况下,当孩子达到KET级别A(优秀)或更高时,就是开始引入杂志阅读的好时机——这是提升他们英语能力的关键步骤。然而,英语杂志分为两类:国内出版的版本和国际原创版本,每种都有其独特的特点。选择合适的版本能确保学习效果更佳)”可知,文章主要说明了家长常问孩子何时可读英文杂志,文章指出KET级别A级及以上为宜,对比了国际原版(语言地道但有文化差异)与国内出版的版本(适配考试但偏课本化)的特点,并建议按学习目标选择。由此可知,D选项“国际版与国内版英语杂志:哪种更合适”适合作文章标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,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。
For centuries, we kept track of our time by using paper calendars (日历), which were pretty but limited. With technological advances, digital calendars have appeared. ____36____ But features were quickly added to make them incredibly powerful. Here are some ways a digital calendar will handle your busy schedule better than pen and paper.
Repeating events are always there. Many of the events on our calendar aren’t something we do once. ____37____ Attend a book club at 11 each Saturday? Go to the softball center at 6:30 on Thursdays? When you create such events, every occurrence automatically shows up on your calendar.
____38____ With a paper calendar, you can only schedule meetings and write down a save-the-date a few months in advance. But that’s it. A digital calendar lets you go as far as you need to. And you can schedule something for 2031 as though it were next week.
You’ll get there on time! When you record the location of an appointment in your digital calendar, you can get directions to the event. Even better, your phone or computer can take current traffic conditions into account. ____39____
Co-ordinating (协调) schedules is easy to achieve. When you have to co-ordinate with others, a shared digital calendar helps. It can keep the problem from becoming increasingly harder. ____40____ Remind participants of the rescheduled, relocated, or removed meetings, and keep everyone on the same page.
A. You can see far into the future.
B. They’re something we do over and over.
C. Can you make a digital calendar look more beautiful?
D. However, you may forget that someone is waiting for you.
E. At first, they were little more than a direct translation of paper ones.
F. Thus, your digital calendar will inform you of a suitable time to leave.
G. Let your calendar search for the next time when everyone is available.
【答案】36. E 37. B 38. A 39. F 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了电子日历逐渐取代有局限的纸质日历,其优势包括自动显示重复事件、可规划远期日程、能提供出发时间建议、便于协调多人日程,更好地应对繁忙生活。
【36题详解】
根据上文“With technological advances, digital calendars have appeared. (随着技术的进步,数字日历应运而生了.)”以及后文“But features were quickly added to make them incredibly powerful. Here are some ways a digital calendar will handle your busy schedule better than pen and paper. (但随后又迅速增加了各种功能,使其变得极其强大。以下是数字日历在处理您繁忙日程方面比纸笔方式更出色的一些方式。)”可知,前文提到“随着科技进步,电子日历出现了”,后文衔接“但很快添加了功能,使其变得极其强大”。E选项中的“At first”(起初)与后文“quickly added”(很快添加)形成时间对比,“little more than a direct translation of paper ones”(不过是纸质日历的直接替代品)呼应前文“纸质日历有局限性”,同时为后文“功能升级”做铺垫,逻辑连贯。E选项“起初,它们与纸质产品相比几乎没有什么区别,只是简单的直接翻版而已。”符合语境。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Repeating events are always there. Many of the events on our calendar aren’t something we do once. (重复出现的事情总是存在。我们日程表上的许多事项都不是我们一次性就能完成的。)”以及后文“Attend a book club at 11 each Saturday? Go to the softball center at 6:30 on Thursdays? (每周六11点参加读书俱乐部?每周四6:30前去垒球训练中心?)”可知,前文提到“日历上的许多事件并非只做一次”,后文列举“每周六11点的读书俱乐部、每周四6:30的垒球中心”等重复活动,核心是“重复发生的事件”。B选项中的“do over and over” 与前文“aren’t something we do once”形成转折,且与后文“repeating events”(重复事件)主题一致,直接衔接下文举例,符合逻辑。B选项“这些是我们反复做的事情。”符合语境,故选B。
【38题详解】
根据后文“With a paper calendar, you can only schedule meetings and write down a save-the-date a few months in advance. But that’s it. A digital calendar lets you go as far as you need to. And you can schedule something for 2031 as though it were next week. (使用纸质日历时,你只能提前几个月安排会议并写下纪念日提醒。但仅此而已。而电子日历则能让你做到更远的规划。你可以把2031年的安排当作是下周的安排来处理。)”可知,此空为段落主题句,后文对比“纸质日历只能提前几个月安排”与“电子日历可以安排到2031年,就像安排下周的事一样”,核心是“电子日历能规划更久远的时间”。A选项直接点明主题,“see far into the future”与后文“schedule something for 2031”直接呼应,形成总分关系,符合语境。A选项“你可以预见未来很久的事情。”符合语境,故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“You’ll get there on time! When you record the location of an appointment in your digital calendar, you can get directions to the event. Even better, your phone or computer can take current traffic conditions into account. (你一定会准时到达的!当你在电子日历中记录好约会地点后,就可以获取前往该地点的路线指引。更妙的是,你的手机或电脑还能将当前的交通状况考虑在内。)”可知,前文提到“电子日历可记录地点、提供路线,还能考虑实时交通状况”,核心是“帮助准时到达”。F选项中的“thus”(因此)承接前文因果关系,“inform you of a suitable time to leave”(告知合适的出发时间)是“考虑交通状况”的自然结果,与段落主题“准时到达”一致。F选项“因此,您的数字日历会告知您一个合适的离店时间。”符合语境,故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Co-ordinating (协调) schedules is easy to achieve. When you have to co-ordinate with others, a shared digital calendar helps. It can keep the problem from becoming increasingly harder. (协调日程安排很容易实现。当你需要与他人协调时,一个共享的数字日历会有所帮助。它能够避免问题变得愈发棘手。)”以及后文“Remind participants of the rescheduled, relocated, or removed meetings, and keep everyone on the same page. (提醒参与者有关重新安排、重新地点或取消的会议事宜,确保所有人都了解最新情况。)”可知,段落主题是“协调日程很容易”,前文提到“共享电子日历能避免问题复杂化”,后文衔接“提醒参与者日程变更,让所有人保持同步”。G选项中的“search for the next time when everyone is available”(寻找所有人都有空的下一个时间)是共享日历协调日程的具体功能,承接前文“协调”,并为后文“日程变更提醒”做铺垫,逻辑通顺。G选项“让您的日历查找下一个所有人都有空的时间。”符合语境,故选G。

59. which 60. it
61. recognized##recognised

64. attractive

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。中国品牌发展迅猛,老铺黄金等本土奢品凭借中国特色脱颖而出,单店销售额与股价表现亮眼。西方奢品曾因无本土替代品占据市场,如今中国消费者不再盲目偏爱外国货。
56题详解】
考查时态。句意:如今,中国消费者对外国商品的兴趣也大大降低了,原因仅仅是因为这些商品是外国的。根据后文now可知为一般现在时,主语为consumers,谓语用复数。故填are。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:如今,中国消费者对外国商品的兴趣也大大降低了,原因仅仅是因为这些商品是外国的。修饰后文句子because they are foreign.用副词simply。故填simply。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:老铺黄金的迅速崛起正是当前这一趋势的有力证明。作表语,用名词proof。故填proof。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这家中国公司销售的黄金首饰独具中国特色,其每家门店的销售额均保持在3亿元以上,比大多数外国竞争对手高出至少50%。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“The Chinese firm”(中国公司),关系词在从句中作主语,故用which引导。故填which。
【60题详解】
考查代词。句意:自大约一年前在香港上市以来,其股价已经上涨了超过2000%。指代前文提到的“Laopu”(老铺黄金),为单数可数名词,故用代词“it”作主语。故填it。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:老铺黄金是众多本土高端品牌中为数不多在全中国乃至全球范围内都享有声誉的品牌之一。此处为过去分词作后置定语,修饰“homegrown luxury brands”,逻辑主语“brands”与 “recognize”(认可)是被动关系,故填recognized/recognised。
【62题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:该行业长期以来一直被外国企业所垄断——尽管如今这些外国企业在该国的经营状况都不太理想。根据时间状语“for a long time”(很长一段时间)可知用现在完成时,主语“The industry”(行业)与“corner”(垄断)是被动关系,故用现在完成时被动语态,助动词用has。故填has been cornered。
【63题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:“大壹实验室”(一家研究机构)的安伯·张表示,过去,西方奢侈品牌之所以能占据市场,是因为当时当地没有真正可替代的本土品牌。根据上文were可知为复数。故填alternatives。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,这并不意味着这些西方品牌的设计或文化内涵本身就对中国消费者具有吸引力。作表语,用形容词attractive。故填attractive。
65题详解】
考查介词。句意:老铺黄金和霸王茶姬这两个品牌并没有试图刻意表现得具有西方特色,而是将它们的产品与自身的中国元素联系起来。link...with/to...意为“将……与……联系起来”,故填with/to。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Colin,
I hope you’re doing well! I’m excited to tell you about a short video competition I joined last month at school. My video was titled “A Day in the Life of My Grandma,” showing her morning routine — making tea, tending to her garden, and sharing stories with neighbors. I used soft music and close-up shots to capture the warmth and simplicity of her daily life.
It was my first time editing a video, so I spent hours learning software and adjusting clips. Though challenging, the process taught me patience and creativity. To my surprise, my video won second prize! More importantly, it reminded me to cherish ordinary moments with loved ones.
Have you ever tried making videos? I’d love to hear about your experiences!
Yours,

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At twelve, I carried a heavy sense of responsibility. Though I had been a precocious (早熟的) student — winning honors not through hard work but intuition (直觉) — I graduated from public school a year early. My parents were proud and dreamed I’d go on to high school, even become a doctor. But I was too aware: education was a luxury reserved for the well-to-do. With four people in the family and my mother unable to work, my father’s banana-selling barely kept us fed. Ten years of schooling — four in high school and six in college — would cost thousands of dollars we simply didn’t have.
So I refused to register. Over half my classmates were heading straight to work, and I decided to do the same. My parents wept and begged, but I was stubborn and bitter. Even my English teacher, Miss Barry, tried to persuade me. She looked at me with sad blue eyes and said, “It would be a pity for you to go into a factory — I’ve never seen better English compositions than yours.” She urged me to study at night, promising to give me a high school reading list. I lied and said I would, though I knew I wouldn’t — I was determined to harden my heart against the education I couldn’t have.
Deep down, I loved books and desired learning. Years of praise had fed my self-respect, and I looked forward to going to high school and college. But since I couldn’t, I chose to despise (蔑视) it all. Miss Barry, however, didn’t give up. She gave me a parting gift: a copy of Emerson’s Essays, with our names and the date.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That night, as I was about to enter the factory, Miss Barry’s sad blue eyes and the copy of Emerson’s Essays popped into my mind.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Years later, I became a famous writer and I often recall Miss Barry’s voice.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
That night, as I was about to enter the factory, Miss Barry’s sad blue eyes and the copy of Emerson’s Essays popped into my mind. I paused at the gate, my hands trembling slightly. I took out the book from my pocket and opened it randomly. A sentence caught my eye: “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” It touched my heart deeply. I thought of my parents’ expectations and my own hidden desire for learning. Finally, I turned around and ran home. I told my parents I wanted to study at night as Miss Barry suggested. They were overjoyed and hugged me tightly.
Years later, I became a famous writer and I often recall Miss Barry’s voice. That copy of Emerson’s Essays still sits on my desk. Whenever I face difficulties, I read the sentence she marked for me. I also go back to my old school regularly, just like Miss Barry, to encourage students from poor families not to give up their dreams of education. I always tell them: “A kind teacher’s help and a book can change a person’s life.” Miss Barry’s love and encouragement have become the most precious gift in my life, guiding me to go forward.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了“我”因家庭贫困,不得不放弃升学机会,选择进工厂工作。尽管父母和英语老师Miss Barry极力劝说,“我”仍固执地拒绝了。然而,在即将进入工厂的那一刻,Miss Barry的悲伤眼神和她送的《爱默生散文集》让“我”内心动摇,最终决定听从她的建议,晚上学习。多年后,“我”成为著名作家,常回忆起Miss Barry的话,并鼓励贫困学生不要放弃教育梦想。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上,当我正要进入工厂时,巴里小姐悲伤的蓝眼睛和爱默生的散文集突然浮现在我的脑海中。”可知,第一段可描写“我”在工厂门口受到触动,决定回家继续学习。
②由第二段首句内容“多年后,我成为了一名著名的作家,我常常回忆起巴里小姐的声音。”可知,第二段可描写“我”成为作家后对巴里小姐的感激之情,以及“我”如何将这份感激转化为对贫困学生的鼓励。
2.续写线索:进入工厂前回忆起老师——被书中的话触动——决定回家学习——成为作家后回忆老师——鼓励贫困学生不要放弃梦想——感激老师成为人生最珍贵的礼物
3.词汇激活
行为类
①停顿:pause/stop
②颤抖:tremble/shake
③打开:open/unfold
④吸引某人:catch one’s eye/attract one’s attention
情绪类
①感动:touch one’s heart/move sb. deeply
②高兴的:overjoyed/delighted
【点睛】【高分句型1】I told my parents I wanted to study at night as Miss Barry suggested.(运用了省略了引导词that的宾语从句以及as引导的方式状语从句)
【高分句型2】Whenever I face difficulties, I read the sentence she marked for me.(运用了省略关系代词that/which的定语从句)

Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, Calif., walked to the end of it and started looking at birds. Since then, my birder craziness about bird-watching has progressed at an alarming speed. I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone.
While birding, I seem unaffected by heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses concentrate wholly on the present, and the usual hubbub (躁动) in my head becomes quiet. When I spot a species for the first time — a lifer — I course with adrenaline (肾上腺素) while being entirely calm. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world. The passing of the seasons feels more distinct, marked by the arrival and disappearance of particular species instead of much slower changes in day length, temperature and greenery. I find myself noticing small shifts in the weather and small differences in habitat. I think about the tides (潮汐).
So much more of the natural world feels close and accessible now. When I started birding, I remember thinking that I’d never see most of the species in my field guide. I had thought of the idea of nature as distant and remote — the province of nature documentaries and far-off vacations. But in the past six months, I’ve seen golden eagles and marveled at diving Pacific birds, all within an hour of my house.
It’s easy to think of birding as an escape from reality. Instead, I see it as total engagement in the true reality. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is saying about them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to find a rare bird. It’s very clear to me which of those two activities is more laughable. It’s not the one with the bird.
24. What is the author?
A. A professional bird photographer. B. A nature lover for bird-watching.
C. A scientist studying birds in the wetland. D. A travel blogger focusing on bird-watching
25. What happens to the author during bird-watching?
A. He is easily affected and gets excited. B. He becomes quite peaceful and focused.
C He desires to watch birds in distant areas. D. He pays little attention to season changes.
26. What does the underlined word “marveled” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Satisfied. B. Uninterested. C. Concerned. D. Amazed.
27. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the best bird-watching spots near Oakland.
B. To explain how to identify different bird species effectively.
C. To share the experiences and changes brought by bird-watching.
D. To argue that bird-watching is better than social media activities.
C
During my 18 years of teaching in urban areas, I taught math to primary and middle school students. I’ve spent lots of time asking myself: How can we make math education more equitable (公平合理的) for all students?
Too often, what get emphasized in math education are students’ weaknesses and gaps, how they don’t meet standards, and how they’re behind. This leads to a culture of low expectations and results in students having low expectations for themselves. However, as research has shown, learning math is not so much about the brains students were born with. It’s about the messages they receive, the opportunities they have and the way they approach learning. So schools should do something to change these things.
The first way is to offer teachers professional development that provides strategies for identifying students’ strengths. If teachers can know a student’s strength and then connect it to the math being taught in the classroom, there will be major shifts in that student’s attitude.
Teachers can also build equity by offering feedback that helps students understand that they can learn from their mistakes, adjust their thinking and deepen their understanding of math. Phil Daro, who helped create the Common Core State Standards Initiative, says, “Correct answers are a must… but they’re part of the process; they’re not the product. The product is the math the kids walk away with in their heads. Educators tend to focus on the answer, and I’m not saying we shouldn’t focus on getting the right answers. But there is more to math than that. Powerful learning can happen when students get things wrong.”
Besides, teachers can build equity by showing students how people have always used math. For example, a 40,000-year-old artifact (手工艺品) from sub-Saharan Africa called the Lebombo bone has distinct mathematical markings on it — showing that cultures all over the world have used math for tens of thousands of years. Highlighting how different people and different cultures use math helps students know that math is from everywhere, in everything and for everyone.
28. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 2?
A. Students’ low grades in maths.
B. The outdated learning materials.
C. Teachers’ educational backgrounds.
D. The unreasonable evaluation criteria.
29. What can be inferred from Phil Daro’s words in paragraph 4?
A. Students ought to avoid making mistakes in math.
B. It’s necessary for students to do more math exercises.
C. Learning math means more than getting right answers.
D. It’s hard for students to get answers to math problems.
30. Why does the author mention the Lebombo bone?
A To inform us about cultural diversity.
B. To show the long history of using math.
C. To remind us to explore the origin of math.
D. To stress the intelligence of ancient people.
31. Who is the text probably written for?
A. Educators. B. Middle school students.
C. The general public. D. Parents.
D
“At what English level can my child start reading English magazines?” This is a common question from parents. Typically, once a child reaches KET Grade A (Excellent) or above, it’s a good time to introduce magazine reading — this is a key step to boost their English skills. However, English magazines fall into two categories: domestically (国内地) published versions and international original versions, each with distinct features. Choosing the right one ensures efficient learning.
International original magazines shine in language quality: their expressions are authentic (真实的) and vivid, with flexible vocabulary use, making them perfect for experiencing real-world English. Yet they have disadvantages: cultural differences may lead to misinterpretation, and since content is ungraded, unexpected difficult words often pop up, making comprehension more difficult.
Domestically published magazines, by contrast, are more learner-friendly: they have clear difficulty levels, with Chinese explanations for tough words to lower reading difficulty. Critically, Chinese middle and high school reading comprehension questions are often adapted from international magazine texts — and domestic versions act as “tailored (定做的) practice materials” for these exams. Their downside is that the language can feel overly “textbook-like,” lacking the liveliness of original versions.
Choose based on your goals: if you want to practice authentic English and build vivid vocabulary (and can handle minor comprehension challenges), international originals are ideal. If you aim to improve exam scores or enhance reading skills steadily, domestically published magazines are more suitable.
What’s your child’s current English level? You could match it to the right magazine type using their recent English test results — would you like to help decide on a suitable option?
32. When can children begin reading English magazines?
A. Having mastered the vocabulary in KET textbooks.
B. Achieving a high-level performance in the KET exam.
C. Being able to understand the international original content.
D. Having prior experience with domestic English magazines.
33. Which is a disadvantage of international original English magazines?
A. Cultural gaps may cause misunderstandings.
B. They provide unneeded Chinese explanations.
C. Their vocabulary is too simple for advanced learners.
D. Their content is closely linked to textbook knowledge.
34. What is the main purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To advise parents on selecting English magazines for their children.
B. To compare the difficulty levels of two types of English magazines.
C. To prove KET Grade A is the best starting point for magazine reading.
D. To analyze the advantages of international original English magazines.
35. Which would be a suitable title for the passage?
A. KET Grade A: The Key to English Magazine Reading
B. The Advantages and Disadvantages of English Magazines
C. How to Improve English Skills Through Magazine Reading
D. International vs Domestic English Magazines: Which Is Right

For centuries, we kept track of our time by using paper calendars (日历), which were pretty but limited. With technological advances, digital calendars have appeared. ____36____ But features were quickly added to make them incredibly powerful. Here are some ways a digital calendar will handle your busy schedule better than pen and paper.
Repeating events are always there. Many of the events on our calendar aren’t something we do once. ____37____ Attend a book club at 11 each Saturday? Go to the softball center at 6:30 on Thursdays? When you create such events, every occurrence automatically shows up on your calendar.
____38____ With a paper calendar, you can only schedule meetings and write down a save-the-date a few months in advance. But that’s it. A digital calendar lets you go as far as you need to. And you can schedule something for 2031 as though it were next week.
You’ll get there on time! When you record the location of an appointment in your digital calendar, you can get directions to the event. Even better, your phone or computer can take current traffic conditions into account. ____39____
Co-ordinating (协调) schedules is easy to achieve. When you have to co-ordinate with others, a shared digital calendar helps.

A. You can see far into the future.
B. They’re something we do over and over.
C. Can you make a digital calendar look more beautiful?

F. Thus, your digital calendar will inform you of a suitable time to leave.
G. Let your calendar search for the next time when everyone is available.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At twelve, I carried a heavy sense of responsibility. Though I had been a precocious (早熟的) student — winning honors not through hard work but intuition (直觉) — I graduated from public school a year early. My parents were proud and dreamed I’d go on to high school, even become a doctor. But I was too aware: education was a luxury reserved for the well-to-do. With four people in the family and my mother unable to work, my father’s banana-selling barely kept us fed. Ten years of schooling — four in high school and six in college — would cost thousands of dollars we simply didn’t have.
So I refused to register. Over half my classmates were heading straight to work, and I decided to do the same. My parents wept and begged, but I was stubborn and bitter. Even my English teacher, Miss Barry, tried to persuade me. She looked at me with sad blue eyes and said, “It would be a pity for you to go into a factory — I’ve never seen better English compositions than yours.” She urged me to study at night, promising to give me a high school reading list. I lied and said I would, though I knew I wouldn’t — I was determined to harden my heart against the education I couldn’t have.
Deep down, I loved books and desired learning. Years of praise had fed my self-respect, and I looked forward to going to high school and college. But since I couldn’t, I chose to despise (蔑视) it all. Miss Barry, however, didn’t give up. She gave me a parting gift: a copy of Emerson’s Essays, with our names and the date.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
