A. rarely B. vividly C. cruelly D. fortunately 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：虽然这件事发生在很多年前，我仍然能生动地记得那天下午的每一个细节，就好像是昨天发生的一样。 考查副词辨析。rarely很少地；vividly生动地；cruelly残酷地；fortunately幸运地。根据“as if it were yesterday”可知，记忆非常清晰生动，就像是昨天发生的一样，强调细节的鲜活程度，因此需选表示“生动地”的副词。故选B。 8.

A. Finishing B. Finished C. Having finished D. To finish 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：完成作业后，他去帮助他的妈妈做家务。 考查现在分词作状语。根据句意，“完成作业”发生在“帮助妈妈”之前，强调先后顺序，现在分词的完成式 (Having finished) 表示动作在主句动作之前完成。故选C。 10.

A. when; which B. which; that C. that; when D. when; who 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：她仍然记得她第一次走进高中教室的那一天，这给她留下了深刻的印象。 考查定语从句。when是关系副词，可引导定语从句，先行词表示时间，在从句中作时间状语；which是关系代词，可引导定语从句，修饰事物或前面整个句子，在从句中作主语或宾语等；that是关系代词，可引导限制性定语从句，修饰人或事物，但不能引导非限制性定语从句；who是关系代词，可引导定语从句时，先行词指人。第一个空先行词是“the day”，从句“she first walked into the high-school classroom”中缺少时间状语，需用when；第二个空修饰前面整个句子，用which。故选A。 11. The new stadium is not ________ the old one in terms of seating capacity, but it’s much more modern. A. as half big as B. half as big as C. as big as half D. so big as half 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：新体育场在座位容量方面不如旧体育场的一半大，但它更现代化。 考查原级比较结构。as half big as语序错误；half as big as不及……的一半大；as big as half语序错误；so big as half语序错误且“so...as”多用于否定句。此处表示新体育场在座位容量方面不如旧体育场的一半大，B项符合。故选B。 12.

A. There was B. There being C. Being D. It being 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：因为没有公交车，我们不得不一路走到博物馆。 考查独立主格结构。该句逗号前后没有连词连接，且后半句“we had to walk...”结构完整。因此，前半部分应用非谓语动词形式作状语，表示原因，“没有公交车”需使用“there be”句型的存在形式，其独立主格结构为There being。故选B。 15. ________ the team finally won the championship after five years of hard work.

You’ve been practicing so hard these months. A. You bet B. Come on C. You’re pulling my leg D.

A. as skillfully as B. more skillfully C. so skillfully D. just skillfully 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位年轻的钢琴家演奏这首高难度曲子的技巧和有经验的音乐家一样娴熟——谁也看不出她只是个初学者。 考查as…as的比较结构。根据“no one could tell she was just a beginner.”可知，此处指“演奏得像有经验的音乐家一样熟练”，应该是说“和……一样熟练”，用同级比较结构“as+副词原级+as”。故选A。 二、完形填空(本大题有15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案，将答题卡上对应的选项涂黑。 Anthony is a driver of UPS (美国快递公司), who has been receiving praise from the neighborhood of Halaley, Virginia. “Through the pandemic Anthony continued working, ____21____ packages at our doors, over 180 times to date,” neighborhood resident Patty said. “I wanted to thank him for how much he helped me feel ____22____ when I moved in during the pandemic.

I was standing on stage, looking pale in the face. We lost the competition. I felt terribly sorry, but Jenny tried to comfort me by saying, “There will be another chance.” ④After about a week, our school’s art festival began. I decided to enter it. The first person I thought of to join me was Jenny, although I wasn’t sure if she would want to. But while I was asking other people to join me, she said she would join as well. We decided to sing the song See You Again at the festival because I would leave for the UK after I finished the performance. We prepared for it for a long time. ⑤Finally, the day of the festival arrived. As I walked into class, people started clapping for me. Someone had written “Sally, Come On!” on the blackboard. My classmates wrote cards for me. After I completed my performance, everyone cheered for me. ⑥It was a really unforgettable and touching afternoon. I want to thank Jenny, who didn’t give up on me when I felt down.

A 2024 study by the Pew Research Center found that 97% of U.S. teens use social media, with 60% reporting they “constantly” check platforms like Instagram and TikTok. For many, these spaces offer a sense of belonging: shy students might find confidence in online debates, while marginalized teens connect with peers who share their identities. ②Yet this convenience comes with costs. Psychologists warn that excessive digital interaction can erode in-person communication skills. A 2025 Stanford University experiment observed that teens who spent over 7 hours daily on social media struggled to read facial expressions and tone of voice in real conversations. Moreover, the “curated perfection” of online profiles often fuels anxiety: 45% of teens surveyed admitted feeling inadequate after comparing their lives to others’ posts. ③The key, experts argue, is balance. Some schools have started “digital detox” workshops, teaching teens to set screen-time limits and prioritize face-to-face interactions. For example, a high school in Oregon launched a “No Phone Lunch” policy, which led to a 30% increase in students reporting “close, in-person friendships” after one semester. As one teen participant noted: “I used to scroll through posts while eating, but now I actually talk to my tablemates-and it’s way more fun.” 39. What does the 2024 Pew Research Center study mainly show? A. Teens rely heavily on digital socializing. B. Instagram is the most popular platform for teens. C. 60% of teens feel addicted to social media. D. Digital socializing helps shy students build confidence. 40. The underlined word “erode” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. improve B. weaken C. develop D. protect 41. Why do 45% of teens feel inadequate, according to the text? A. They lack in-person communication skills. B. They spend too much time on social media. C. They compare their lives with others’ perfect online images. D. They participate in too many online debates. 42. What can we infer from the “No Phone Lunch” policy? A. It completely solved teens’ social problems. B. It encouraged teens to interact face-to-face. C. It made teens reduce their screen time to 7 hours daily. D. It was widely copied by other high schools in the U.S. 【答案】39. A 40. B 41. C 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要围绕青少年数字社交展开，首先通过皮尤研究中心数据说明青少年高度依赖数字社交及其积极作用；接着指出过度数字社交的弊端；最后提出解决方案——专家强调平衡的重要性，并以学校的数字排毒工作坊和无手机午餐政策为例，证明合理限制屏幕时间可促进面对面社交，实现数字社交与现实社交的平衡。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A 2024 study by the Pew Research Center found that 97% of U.S. teens use social media, with 60% reporting they ‘constantly’ check platforms like Instagram and TikTok.”可知，Pew研究中心2024年的一项研究发现，97%的美国青少年使用社交媒体，其中60%的青少年表示他们会频繁地查看Instagram、TikTok等平台，可知青少年高度依赖数字社交。故选A。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Psychologists warn that excessive digital interaction can erode in-person communication skills.”可知，心理学家警告称，过度的数字互动会削弱人们的面对面沟通能力，因此此处erode表达为“削弱”，即weaken。故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“45% of teens surveyed admitted feeling inadequate after comparing their lives to others’ posts.”可知，在受访的青少年中，有45%的人承认，在将自己的生活与他人发布的内容对比后，会产生自我价值不足的感觉。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For example, a high school in Oregon launched a ‘No Phone Lunch’ policy, which led to a 30% increase in students reporting ‘close, in-person friendships’ after one semester. As one teen participant noted: ‘I used to scroll through posts while eating, but now I actually talk to my tablemates-and it’s way more fun.’”可知，例如，俄勒冈州的一所高中推出了“午餐禁用手机”政策，这一政策实施一学期后，反馈自己拥有“亲密的面对面友谊”的学生比例上升了30%。正如一位参与该政策的青少年所说：“我以前吃饭时总是刷社交媒体帖子，但现在我会实实在在地和同桌聊天——这有趣多了。”可推断该政策促进了面对面互动。故选B。 C Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of the 21st century, with its impact spreading across every corner of the planet, especially in our oceans. It’s estimated that over 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year, forming massive garbage patches that threaten marine life and disrupt entire ecosystems. Marine animals, from tiny plankton to giant whales, are the primary victims of this crisis. Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, their natural prey, leading to fatal digestive blockages. Seabirds get entangled in plastic nets and six-pack rings, which can break their wings or necks. Even microscopic plastic particles, known as microplastics, have been found in the bodies of fish and shellfish, eventually making their way into the human food chain through seafood consumption. The good news is that individuals, governments, and businesses are taking action to address the problem. Many countries have implemented bans on single-use plastics like straws and plastic bags, encouraging the use of reusable alternatives such as cloth bags and metal straws. Environmental organizations are organizing beach cleanups and raising public awareness about the importance of reducing plastic waste. Meanwhile, scientists are developing innovative solutions, including biodegradable plastics made from plant materials and technologies to remove existing plastic from the oceans. However, solving plastic pollution requires global cooperation and long-term commitment. It’s not enough to just ban certain products; we need to rethink our entire approach to consumption and waste management. By making small changes in our daily lives, like bringing our own water bottles and recycling properly, each of us can contribute to protecting the oceans and the countless species that call them home. 43. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of plastic invention and its widespread use. B. The severe effects of plastic pollution on oceans and solutions to it. C. How microplastics enter the human body through food. D. Why single-use plastics are more harmful than reusable ones. 44. Which of the following is NOT a harm caused by ocean plastic pollution? A. Marine animals mistaking plastic for food. B. Disruption of marine ecosystems. C. Increase in the number of plankton in the ocean. D. Plastic particles appearing in seafood. 45. What action have many countries taken to fight plastic pollution? A. They have stopped producing all types of plastic products. B. They have banned single-use plastics and promoted reusable items. C. They have sent scientists to clean up the garbage patches. D. They have fined businesses that use plastic packaging. 46. What does the author emphasize as necessary for solving plastic pollution? A.

There are companies producing their own VR headsets, but they are still not as big as other products that are meant to entertain. Apart from the limited choices, one more thing that is worth noting about the current state of VR is the fact that content is limited, as well as applications. Most of the products available on the market today are aimed at gamers and mostly special for high-end buyers because of their expensive price. Despite being full of potential, however, there are also some challenges that should be dealt with in order to ensure the success of VR. Among others, one of the most significant would be the need for powerful devices that would complement the headsets. For Oculus Rift, for instance, a powerful video card is needed for a computer, something you might not have at home, making the VR technology inapplicable. In addition, there are also challenges when it comes to beauty. Today’s VR headsets look almost entirely the same, they are huge and heavy and they look silly. Producers must find a way in order to make the design more beautiful. Producers will also be challenged to make VR headsets more affordable so that more people will be able to purchase them. Most of the models currently available are just too expensive for average buyers. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the challenge is to find more applications. It is currently being centered on game-based applications. Producers are challenged to come up with creative ways in order to increase the usefulness of such a promising device. In sum, while it is undeniable that VR is big in today’s time, there’s a lot of room for improvement. There are limited choices when it comes to VR products available on the market, and for many, it is still a bit expensive. Others lack knowledge on how it works, which results in hesitation. There are also some problems that have yet to be solved and more opportunities to be uncovered. It would be safe to say that it is new, still in its infancy, but hopefully it is getting to the top. 47. What is needed for your computer when you use Oculus Rift? A. A useful videotape. B. A powerful video card. C. A powerful video camera. D. A useful video phone. 48. What is the biggest challenge of VR? A. To lower its price. B. To simplify its headset. C. To widen its application. D. To beautify its appearance. 49. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of VR? A. Worried. B. Concerned. C. Confident. D. Indifferent. 50. What might be the best title for the passage? A. The Challenges of VR B. The Development of VR C. The Popularity of VR D. The Importance of VR 【答案】47. B 48. C 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文聚焦VR技术的现状与挑战，承认其潜力的同时，重点分析了设备、外观、价格、应用四大核心问题，最终表达对VR未来发展的信心。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For Oculus Rift, for instance, a powerful video card is needed for a computer”可知，使用Oculus Rift时，电脑需要一张高性能显卡。故选B。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the challenge is to find more applications.”可知，最后，或许也是最重要的挑战，是找到更多应用场景。故选C。 【49题详解】 观点态度题。根据“It would be safe to say that it is new, still in its infancy, but hopefully it is getting to the top.”可知，可以肯定的是，它还很新，仍处于起步阶段，但有望达到顶峰，因此作者的态度是自信的。故选C。 【50题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章可知，先介绍VR技术尚处起步阶段，再重点阐述VR面临的四大挑战，最后总结VR仍需改进但未来可期，因此文章标题应为The Challenges of VR。故选A。 第二节(共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. ____51____ But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? ____52____ We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses. The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. ____53____ “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in-person courses. ____54____ He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. ____55____ A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group or schedule in-person meetings with your professor to discuss course concepts. A. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines. B. Your motivation should be your main concern. C. Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D. Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E. The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction. F. If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade? G. A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses. 【答案】51. G 52. F 53. A 54. D 55. E 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了在线学习很受欢迎，但它有利有弊，并给出了一些在线学习的建议。 【51题详解】 根据“In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience…But are all online courses created equal?”可知，此处需具体说明在线学习的普及性，选项G“一项调查发现，29%的大学生注册了网络课程。”符合语境。故选G。 【52题详解】 根据“But are all online courses created equal?

I entered it because I really loved singing. I sang with a girl named Jenny. She’s one of my best friends. ③Unluckily, I was nervous and I forgot the lyrics for a moment while we sang. I was standing on stage, looking pale in the face. We lost the competition. I felt terribly sorry, but Jenny tried to comfort me by saying, “There will be another chance.” ④After about a week, our school’s art festival began. I decided to enter it. The first person I thought of to join me was Jenny, although I wasn’t sure if she would want to. But while I was asking other people to join me, she said she would join as well. We decided to sing the song See You Again at the festival because I would leave for the UK after I finished the performance. We prepared for it for a long time. ⑤Finally, the day of the festival arrived. As I walked into class, people started clapping for me. Someone had written “Sally, Come On!” on the blackboard. My classmates wrote cards for me. After I completed my performance, everyone cheered for me. ⑥It was a really unforgettable and touching afternoon. I want to thank Jenny, who didn’t give up on me when I felt down. I want to thank my friends for helping me, and I really want to thank all of my classmates who were with me in my two middle school years as well. 36. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 37. The right order of the following events is ________. ①studied in China ②completed my performance in the art festival ③decided to enter our school’s art festival ④prepared for See You Again ⑤forgot the lyrics A. ①③④②⑤ B. ⑤①④③② C. ①⑤③④② D. ⑤①②④③ 38. The purpose of this passage is mainly to ________. A. talk about the writer’s friends B. describe a singing competition C. tell us about the writer’s life in China D. show thanks to the writer’s friends and classmates B ①In an era where smartphones are extensions of teenagers’ hands, digital socializing has become the primary way they connect. A 2024 study by the Pew Research Center found that 97% of U.S. teens use social media, with 60% reporting they “constantly” check platforms like Instagram and TikTok. For many, these spaces offer a sense of belonging: shy students might find confidence in online debates, while marginalized teens connect with peers who share their identities. ②Yet this convenience comes with costs. Psychologists warn that excessive digital interaction can erode in-person communication skills. A 2025 Stanford University experiment observed that teens who spent over 7 hours daily on social media struggled to read facial expressions and tone of voice in real conversations. Moreover, the “curated perfection” of online profiles often fuels anxiety: 45% of teens surveyed admitted feeling inadequate after comparing their lives to others’ posts. ③The key, experts argue, is balance. Some schools have started “digital detox” workshops, teaching teens to set screen-time limits and prioritize face-to-face interactions. For example, a high school in Oregon launched a “No Phone Lunch” policy, which led to a 30% increase in students reporting “close, in-person friendships” after one semester. As one teen participant noted: “I used to scroll through posts while eating, but now I actually talk to my tablemates-and it’s way more fun.” 39. What does the 2024 Pew Research Center study mainly show? A. Teens rely heavily on digital socializing. B. Instagram is the most popular platform for teens. C. 60% of teens feel addicted to social media. D. Digital socializing helps shy students build confidence. 40. The underlined word “erode” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. improve B. weaken C. develop D. protect 41. Why do 45% of teens feel inadequate, according to the text? A. They lack in-person communication skills. B. They spend too much time on social media. C. They compare their lives with others’ perfect online images. D. They participate in too many online debates. 42. What can we infer from the “No Phone Lunch” policy? A. It completely solved teens’ social problems. B. It encouraged teens to interact face-to-face. C. It made teens reduce their screen time to 7 hours daily. D. It was widely copied by other high schools in the U.S. C Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of the 21st century, with its impact spreading across every corner of the planet, especially in our oceans. It’s estimated that over 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year, forming massive garbage patches that threaten marine life and disrupt entire ecosystems. Marine animals, from tiny plankton to giant whales, are the primary victims of this crisis. Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, their natural prey, leading to fatal digestive blockages. Seabirds get entangled in plastic nets and six-pack rings, which can break their wings or necks. Even microscopic plastic particles, known as microplastics, have been found in the bodies of fish and shellfish, eventually making their way into the human food chain through seafood consumption. The good news is that individuals, governments, and businesses are taking action to address the problem. Many countries have implemented bans on single-use plastics like straws and plastic bags, encouraging the use of reusable alternatives such as cloth bags and metal straws. Environmental organizations are organizing beach cleanups and raising public awareness about the importance of reducing plastic waste. Meanwhile, scientists are developing innovative solutions, including biodegradable plastics made from plant materials and technologies to remove existing plastic from the oceans. However, solving plastic pollution requires global cooperation and long-term commitment. It’s not enough to just ban certain products; we need to rethink our entire approach to consumption and waste management. By making small changes in our daily lives, like bringing our own water bottles and recycling properly, each of us can contribute to protecting the oceans and the countless species that call them home. 43. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of plastic invention and its widespread use. B. The severe effects of plastic pollution on oceans and solutions to it. C. How microplastics enter the human body through food. D. Why single-use plastics are more harmful than reusable ones. 44. Which of the following is NOT a harm caused by ocean plastic pollution? A. Marine animals mistaking plastic for food. B. Disruption of marine ecosystems. C. Increase in the number of plankton in the ocean. D. Plastic particles appearing in seafood. 45. What action have many countries taken to fight plastic pollution? A. They have stopped producing all types of plastic products. B. They have banned single-use plastics and promoted reusable items. C. They have sent scientists to clean up the garbage patches. D. They have fined businesses that use plastic packaging. 46. What does the author emphasize as necessary for solving plastic pollution? A. Developing more advanced fishing technologies. B. Reducing the consumption of seafood globally. C. Global teamwork and long-term dedication. D. Educating children about environmental protection in schools. D Being a relatively new technology, VR technology is clearly just beginning to take off. There are companies producing their own VR headsets, but they are still not as big as other products that are meant to entertain. Apart from the limited choices, one more thing that is worth noting about the current state of VR is the fact that content is limited, as well as applications. Most of the products available on the market today are aimed at gamers and mostly special for high-end buyers because of their expensive price. Despite being full of potential, however, there are also some challenges that should be dealt with in order to ensure the success of VR. Among others, one of the most significant would be the need for powerful devices that would complement the headsets. For Oculus Rift, for instance, a powerful video card is needed for a computer, something you might not have at home, making the VR technology inapplicable. In addition, there are also challenges when it comes to beauty. Today’s VR headsets look almost entirely the same, they are huge and heavy and they look silly. Producers must find a way in order to make the design more beautiful. Producers will also be challenged to make VR headsets more affordable so that more people will be able to purchase them. Most of the models currently available are just too expensive for average buyers. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the challenge is to find more applications. It is currently being centered on game-based applications. Producers are challenged to come up with creative ways in order to increase the usefulness of such a promising device. In sum, while it is undeniable that VR is big in today’s time, there’s a lot of room for improvement. There are limited choices when it comes to VR products available on the market, and for many, it is still a bit expensive. Others lack knowledge on how it works, which results in hesitation. There are also some problems that have yet to be solved and more opportunities to be uncovered. It would be safe to say that it is new, still in its infancy, but hopefully it is getting to the top. 47. What is needed for your computer when you use Oculus Rift? A. A useful videotape. B.
