When the fisherman has floated past, I go off in search of breakfast.Students and lecturers on bicycles ride past me, ringing their bells.Laundry and birdcages hang on the balconies of the apartment blocks.Everything is softened by the gentle touch of the Sichuan mist.The campus is an island of quietness in a city where the taxis honk their horns (鸣笛) non­stop and the street sellers shout and talk. Guided by my nose, I find a snack stand just behind the university, where an elderly couple makes guokui, flatbread filled with cut­up pork, spring onion, and Sichuan pepper.The woman kneads dough (揉面) and rolls it into balls on an oiled wooden board, spreads over each ball into a long tongue of pastry with a little spicy seasoned pork.She then rolls it up, flattens it into a round, and passes it to her husband.He bakes them at the side of the grill.Eaten hot, they are tasty, chewy, and mouthwatering, with the Sichuan pepper making your lips dance and sting.Could there be anything more delicious for breakfast on a damp autumn day?

A．It is misty. B．It is noisy. C．It is quiet.

They are spoken at me, not to me.Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business. The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say.“Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.” The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart­warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you. Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl, the waitress, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“Have a nice day”这一表达的多重含义和使用场景。作者通过不同情境下的例子，说明了这句话有时是真诚的关心，有时则是机械化的社交礼仪。尽管在某些场合下这句话可能显得空洞无意义，但它仍然是人们日常交流中常见的一部分，能够帮助人们友好相处。 8．How does the writer understand Maxie's words? A．Maxie shows her anxiety to the writer. B．Maxie really wishes the writer a good day． C．Maxie encourages the writer to stay happy. D．Maxie really worries about the writer. 解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When my friend Maxie says ‘Have a nice day' with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.”可知，作者知道Maxie 说这句话是真诚地关心自己。故选B。 9．What does the sentence “The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure” in Paragraph 2 imply? A．The salesgirl is getting bored. B．The salesgirl behaves rudely to the writer. C．The salesgirl cares about the writer. D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine. 解析：选D。词句猜测题。根据第二段中画线句子后的解释“They are spoken at me, not to me.Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.”可知，作者认为超市售货员说“Have a nice day”时的语气和方式是程序化的，是工作要求，而不是真正关心。所以画线句意思和选项“售货员把这句话当作例行公事”相近。故选D。 10．By saying “Have a nice day”， the stranger may ． A．try to be good to you B．express respect to you C．give his blessing to you D．share his pleasure with you 解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“If a stranger says ‘Have a nice day' to you, you may find it heart­warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.”可知，如果一个陌生人对你说“Have a nice day”，他应该是试图对你表示友好。故选A。 11．In the passage, the author intends to highlight ． A．the importance of showing grave concern to people every day B．the mixed meaning of “Have a nice day！” being both sincere and empty C．the comforting feeling when strangers give friendly greetings D．techniques for finishing dialogues with the phrase “Have a nice day！” 解析：选B。主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“We hear ‘Have a nice day！’ every day and everywhere.It may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.”可知，这是本文的主旨句，文章通过不同场景展示了“Have a nice day”这句话既可以是真诚的关心，也可以是空洞的客套。作者意在强调这句话的双重含义。故选B。 D (2025·重庆期末)On holiday, many will find themselves in places where they do not speak the language.Once upon a time, they might have carried a phrasebook.The rise of English has made that less necessary.But most people—at least seven billion of the world's eight billion—still do not speak English.That leaves options like gestures, a willingness to be surprised by what arrives at dinner—or, increasingly, technology． More and more people are using simple, free tools.With translation apps, you talk into a phone and a spoken translation is heard moments later; the apps can also listen for another language and produce a translation in yours. You may still get a surprise or two.Google Translate may be the best­known name in machine translation, but it often makes mistakes.Take “my wife is gluten (麸质)­free”， the kind of thing you might say at a restaurant abroad.In French or Italian, Google Translate translates this into “my wife is without gluten”—true to the words rather than the meaning. The best tool may not be a translation app at all.Though not marketed for the purpose, ChatGPT, which produces texts according to users' prompts (提示词), is multilingual. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a declining pursuit.Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something profound will vanish when people talk through machines.He describes giving a speech in broken Mandarin, which required effort but offered a sense of accomplishment at last.Who would boast of (吹嘘) taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest? Others are less worried.Most people do not have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent.On their holiday, they just want a beer and spaghetti without incident. But a focus on the learner alone may miss the fundamentally social nature of language.When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese, you are making direct contact with someone.And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story fluently, it is more profound still.The best relationships probably do not require a medium. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是在旅行中使用AI翻译工具的利弊，以及这些技术对语言学习和社会交流的影响。文章还探讨了依赖技术可能带来的文化体验缺失问题。 12．What may happen to a person without any knowledge of English travelling in the UK? A．What he orders may not be what he wants. B．He may get the “my wife is gluten­free” dish. C．He may get lost easily in some tourist attraction. D．AI will help him out without fail. 解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But most people—at least seven billion of the world's eight billion—still do not speak English.That leaves options like gestures, a willingness to be surprised by what arrives at dinner—or, increasingly, technology.”可知，如果一个人不懂英语，并且在没有翻译工具的帮助下，他可能无法准确表达自己的需求，尤其是在餐厅点餐时。由此推知，一个不会英语的人点的东西可能不是他想要的。故选A。 13．What does the author think of ChatGPT? A．We must believe in it. B．It lacks translation ability. C．It is a multi­functional tool. D．It is a professional translation app. 解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The best tool may not be a translation app at all.Though not marketed for the purpose, ChatGPT, which produces texts according to users' prompts (提示词), is multilingual.”可知，尽管ChatGPT并不是专门设计用于翻译的应用程序，但它的多语言处理能力使其成为一个多功能工具。故选C。 14．Which idea may Hofstadter agree with? A．We should use resources available to get over difficulties. B．We should live by the sweat of our brow. C．We should enjoy the benefits brought by the modern technology. D．We should avoid taking a helicopter. 解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something profound will vanish when people talk through machines.He describes giving a speech in broken Mandarin, which required effort but offered a sense of accomplishment at last.Who would boast of (吹嘘) taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest？”可知，Hofstadter认为通过个人努力学习和使用外语能够带来深层次的文化体验和个人成就感，而依赖机器翻译会失去这些体验。他用攀登珠穆朗玛峰不应乘坐直升机来比喻这个观点，强调应依靠自己的努力。故选B。 15．What is the author's attitude toward using AI to learn foreign languages? A．Negative. B．Approving. C．Supportive. D．Cautious. 解析：选D。推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第五段中的“Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a declining pursuit.”以及第六段中的“Others are less worried.Most people do not have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent.”和尾段中的“But a focus on the learner alone may miss the fundamentally social nature of language.”可知，文章中提到了使用AI翻译工具的优点，但也指出了它们存在的局限性和潜在的问题。此外，作者还讨论了语言学习的社会性方面以及通过直接交流获得的文化体验的价值，这表明作者对使用AI学习外语持谨慎态度。故选D。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2025·浙江嘉兴期末)The word for Samoans to say hello is Talofa.16( ) It depends on who they're speaking with and the formality of the situation． In the old days, Samoans greeted each other by touching foreheads and noses together.The practice was widely discontinued after the Spanish influenza pandemic (流行病) wiped out around 20 percent of the population.17( ) Now, what about the language that Samoans use to greet people? Talofa is the official word for hello in Samoan.18( ) That is Si­o'u­alofa, which literally means: my love, but the unspoken understanding behind it is that I'm offering my love to the person I'm addressing.So basically, Talofa means my love is for you. Another greeting expression is Ua'e sau, which confused me when I first heard it.But I soon learned that it's so common and so very Samoan.When you show up somewhere, it's perfectly natural for a Samoan to ask, “Ua'e sau? ” 19( ) Anyone outside our culture might think, “Uhh, can't you see that I am here, and I have arrived？” Actually, it's just a way for the greeter to acknowledge you are now in their presence.Also I've noticed that if your arrival is unexpected, this question is a beautifully subtle (微妙的) way of asking why you are here.20( ) A．It means, “Have you arrived? ” B．But they use a few other greetings as well. C.Remember it next time a Samoan asks you, “Ua'e sau? ” D．They might wonder why you bother to ask such a question. E．It comes from an older greeting packed with beautiful meaning. F.So we should practice some of Samoa's most common greeting words. G.These days, Samoans like to greet each other with a single kiss on the cheek. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了萨摩亚人打招呼的一些方式。 16．解析：选B。上文“The word for Samoans to say hello is Talofa.”指出萨摩亚人打招呼时会说Talofa，下文“It depends on who they're speaking with and the formality of the situation.”指出萨摩亚人与谁交谈以及情况的正式程度也会决定他们的打招呼方式，由此可知，萨摩亚人应该有不同的打招呼方式，B项“但他们也使用其他几种问候语。”符合语境，故选B。 17．解析：选G。上文“In the old days, Samoans greeted each other by touching foreheads and noses together.The practice was widely discontinued after the Spanish influenza pandemic (流行病) wiped out around 20 percent of our population.”指出流感使得萨摩亚人改变了原来的打招呼方式，空处承接上文，指出他们改变后的打招呼方式，G项“现在，萨摩亚人喜欢在脸颊上轻吻互相打招呼。”符合语境，故选G。 18．解析：选E。下文“That is Si­o'u­alofa, which literally means: my love, but the unspoken understanding behind it is that I'm offering my love to the person I'm addressing.”解释了Talofa的来源，E项“它来自一个充满美好意义的古老问候。”符合语境，引出下文，故选E。 19．解析：选A。上文“When you show up somewhere, it's perfectly natural for a Samoan to ask, ‘Ua'e sau？’”指出使用“Ua'e sau? ”的具体情境，即当你出现在某个地方时，空处承接上文，具体解释“Ua'e sau？”这一表达的意思，A项“这意味着‘你到了吗？’”符合语境，故选A。 20．解析：选C。上文“Actually, it's just a way for the greeter to acknowledge you are now in their presence.Also I've noticed that if your arrival is unexpected, this question is a beautifully subtle (微妙的) way of asking why you are here.”解释了人们为什么会用“Ua'e sau？”，即这是一种表示欢迎的方式，空处承接上文，指出我们应该了解这种方式，以免理解错了，C项“下次有萨摩亚人问你‘Ua'e sau？’时，记得它。”符合语境，故选C。 第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (2025·山西吕梁期末)I used to avoid talking with strangers when I was young.The year I began my junior high, I had to move into a new city with my parents.Being new to the school made me even 21 ， so it was beyond my understanding when Ms Black asked me to list the reasons why I refused to 22 to anyone around me.Now I was paying the price—to write a five­page 23 on “Why I Should Not Talk in Class”．That would take all night!

Each day the children made some new wonders—colorful lanterns, hand­made decorations and beautiful window paper­cuts made from wallpaper samples, which we carefully stuck onto the window glass.Through it all, Alice stayed uninterested, watching from a distance, seemingly miles away.This once­so­happy child, after her mum passed away, now became so suddenly quiet and lonely.She had built the wall of isolation (孤立) around herself.How I hoped the celebrations would light her up! But nothing did.We made lovely cards for each other, writing down sweet wishes.At home, the students made small crafts and competed with one another to bring in the prettiest ones.As my gift to them, I made each of my students a little bag for carrying their crafts.And I knew they had each made something special for me. The day of gift exchanging finally came.We oohed and aahed (赞叹) over our handwork as the presents were exchanged.But Alice sat quietly watching.I had made a special bag for her, red and blue with white lace, hoping very much to see her smile.She opened it so slowly and carefully.I waited but she turned away, avoiding looking directly at me.

She said nothing, nodding her head.I took the box and carefully opened it.There inside, lay a golden chain.An idea suddenly occurred to me—she had made it for her mother, who would never again hold her or brush her hair or share a funny story.We couldn't see any smile on her face after her mother passed away three weeks before.I stood there, not knowing how to comfort her well. I carefully held out the chain.She took it, putting it on at the back of my neck.She stepped back as if to see whether all was well.I looked down at the golden chain, then back at her, “Maria, it is so beautiful.She would have loved it.” Neither of us could stop the tears.She threw herself into my arms, her eyes filled with tears.At that moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: herself. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
