第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Greenwood High School, a public secondary school in Manchester, UK, has released its updated Student Disciplinary Policy for the 2025-2026 academic year. The policy aims to maintain a safe and respectful learning environment by clearly defining rule-breaking behaviors and corresponding consequences.
Level 1: Minor Misconduct
This includes behaviors like being late for class (more than 10 minutes), using mobile phones in non-permitted areas (e.g., classrooms during lessons), and leaving the campus without permission during break time. Consequences for Level 1 misconduct: a verbal warning from the teacher, and a record in the student’s behavior log. If a student receives three Level 1 warnings within one term, it will be upgraded to Level 2 misconduct.
Level 2: Moderate Misconduct
Examples include skipping a whole class (unauthorized absence), disrespectful language towards teachers or peers, and damaging school property worth less than £50 (e.g., drawing on desks). For Level 2 misconduct, students will face a 1-hour after-school detention (held on Wednesdays or Fridays), and a written notice sent to parents. A second Level 2 offense in the same term will lead to a meeting with the school’s discipline coordinator and a 3-day ban from school clubs or sports activities.
Level 3: Severe Misconduct
This covers serious behaviors such as physical violence against others, theft of personal or school property (worth over £50), and cheating in important exams (e.g., GCSE mock tests). Consequences are strict: an immediate 5-day suspension from school, a mandatory meeting between parents, the student, and the headteacher, and a permanent note in the student’s academic record. For repeated Level 3 offenses, the school may recommend expulsion (permanent removal from the school), which requires approval from the local education authority.
Appeal Process
Students or parents who disagree with a disciplinary decision can file an appeal within 3 school days of receiving the decision notice. The appeal must be submitted in writing to the school’s administration office, stating the reasons for challenging the decision. A panel of three staff members (not involved in the original decision) will review the appeal and give a final response within 5 school days.
21. What will happen to a student who gets three Level 1 warnings in one term?
A. They will receive a written notice sent to parents.
B. Their offense will be treated as Level 2 misconduct.
C. They will be banned from school clubs for 3 days.
D. They will have to attend an after-school detention.
22. Which of the following behaviors belongs to Level 3 misconduct?
A. Skipping a whole day of school without permission.
B. Damaging a school computer worth £80.
C. Using a mobile phone in the classroom during a lesson.
D. Speaking rudely to a classmate during a group activity.
23. How long do students have to file an appeal against a disciplinary decision?
A. Within 3 school days.
B. Within 5 school days.
C. Within one term.
D. Immediately after receiving the notice.
【答案】21. B 22. B 23. A
【解析】

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Level 1: Minor Misconduct”部分中的“If a student receives three Level 1 warnings within one term, it will be upgraded to Level 2 misconduct. (如果学生在一个学期内收到三次一级违纪警告,该违纪行为将被升级为二级违纪。)”可知,一学期内获得三次一级警告的学生,其违纪行为会被视为二级违纪。故选B项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Level 3: Severe Misconduct”部分中的“This covers serious behaviors such as physical violence against others, theft of personal or school property (worth over £50), and cheating in important exams (e.g., GCSE mock tests). (这包括严重行为,如对他人实施身体暴力、盗窃个人或学校财产(价值超过50英镑)以及在重要考试中作弊(如普通中等教育证书模拟考试)。)”可知,损坏价值80英镑的学校电脑属于“盗窃或损坏价值超50英镑的学校财产”范畴,属于三级违纪。故选B项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Appeal Process”部分中的“Students or parents who disagree with a disciplinary decision can file an appeal within 3 school days of receiving the decision notice. (不同意纪律处分决定的学生或家长,可在收到处分通知后的3个教学日内提出申诉。)”可知,学生需在3个教学日内提交申诉。故选A项。
B
The British royal family live their lives in the public eye, but there’s one thing that not many people know: their last name. That’s simply because they don’t need a last name. They’re so famous that they can be easily picked out without one. But when members of the royal family need to use a last name—when they’re in school or in the military, for example—they actually have a few choices. Here’s a list of all their choices—and how it got to be this way in the first place.
Before 1917, royals didn’t use last names at all. Back then, royals had only their first names and the name of the house or dynasty they were part of. You’ve probably heard of some of these dynasty names, like the House of Tudor and the House of York. In 1917, when King George V had been in power for seven years, he decided to change the house name to Windsor. But he wasn’t just changing the dynasty name. George V also specified that Windsor was to become the royal family’s official surname, too. Today, the royal family is still known as the House of Windsor, and in a general sense, Windsor is still the royals’ last name.
When Queen Elizabeth II came to power, she made a small change. In1947,Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten. Just a few years later, after her father died, Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II. Mount batten became Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In 1960, Elizabeth and Philip decided that they wanted to make their branch of the royal family tree different from the others. They specified that their children would use the last name Mountbatten-Windsor. But royals don’t always use the Mount batten-Windsor name.
Some members have used the name of their family’s territory instead. For example, when Prince William and Prince Harry served in the army ,they went by William Wales and Harry
Wales—because their father is the Prince of Wales. And Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have gone by EugenieYork and Beatrice York, since their father, Prince Andrew, is the Duke of York.
24. Who made Windsor the royals’last name?
A. Philip Mountbatten. B. Queen Elizabeth II.
C. King George V. D. Prince William.
25. What was the change made by Queen Elizabeth II?
A. Her children can’t use their last names.
B. Her children can change their surnames.
C. Her children should use a certain surname.
D. Her children should have more popular names.
26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The royal members must serve in the army.
B. The royals’ children admire their father more.
C. The royal family like to live in a certain territory.
D. The royal family have their surnames after their territory sometimes.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Contributions of the British Royals
B. A View of the British Royals’Surnames
C. A Brief Introduction of the British Surnames
D. The Surviving Surnames of the British Royals
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了英国皇室成员姓氏的由来以及一些成员如何定自己家族的姓氏。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“George V also specified that Windsorwas to become the royal family’s official surname, too.(乔治五世还明确表示,温莎也将成为王室的官方姓氏)”可知,乔治五世明确规定:皇室成员的法定姓氏为温莎。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的内容尤其是“They specified that theirchildren would use the last name Mountbatten-Windsor.(他们规定,他们的孩子将使用蒙巴顿-温莎的姓氏)”可知,伊丽莎白二世规定:他们后代的姓氏为蒙巴顿·温莎。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Wales—because their father is the Prince of Wales. And Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have gone by EugenieYork and Beatrice York, since their father, Prince Andrew, is the Duke of York.(威尔士——因为他们的父亲是威尔士亲王。尤金妮公主和比阿特丽斯公主的名字是尤金妮·约克和比阿特丽斯·约克,因为她们的父亲安德鲁王子是约克公爵)”可知,英国皇室中,也有些成员会依据所管辖的领土名称而定自己家族的姓氏。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“The British royal family live their lives in the public eye, but there’s one thing that not many people know: their last name. That’s simply because they don’t need a last name. They’re so famous that they can be easily picked out without one. But when members of the royal family need to use a last name—when they’re in school or in the military, for example—they actually have a few choices. Here’s a list of all their choices—and how it got to be this way in the first place.(英国王室生活在公众视野中,但有一件事很多人都不知道:他们的姓氏。这只是因为他们不需要姓。他们是如此的有名,即使没有他们也很容易被挑选出来。但当王室成员需要使用姓氏时——例如,他们在上学或参军时——他们实际上有几种选择。下面列出了他们所有的选择,以及他们是如何做到这一点的)”可知,文章主要讲的是英国皇室成员的姓氏的由来和发展,由此可推断出B项最适合作文章的标题。故选B。
C
Your genes are inherited from parents and ancestors, picking up traits that help us survive and evolve with environments around us.
Much of this is encoded as natural instinct. When a baby is born, it needn’t be taught how to breathe or cry —this is hard-wired into our DNA. We know that when tired we need to sleep and when hungry we need to eat. The same goes for animals. Within two hours of being born, a foal attempts its first steps with little guidance from its parent, all from instinct.
As well as our basic instincts, our genetics can carry more complex abilities, knowledge and reflexes. Findings have also hinted that our facial expressions could be hard-wired behaviors. Babies start to smile at around two — again, this isn’t specifically taught. Although they may take in the expressions of people around, it’s hard to test if they connect emotion to the faces they see. However, a 2019 study showed that athletes who had been born blind made the same disheartened expressions when losing as athletes with sight, suggesting that facial expressions may not be learnt from watching others.
While genetics play a part, infants are also heavily influenced during their time in the womb (子宫). Mothers who eat strong-tasting foods such as garlic can affect children’s taste buds, giving them a fancy for the same tastes later in life. Taste and smell are important triggers that babies look for when first feeding, as the mother’s milk will carry the same flavors experienced in the womb. This pre-birth taste sampling increases their chances of survival.
Generational memory could also explain why certain people are naturally gifted in areas like music or sport. Actually, the existence of it is hard to prove, since so many environmental and outside factors change behaviour and personality, especially with young minds, which are easily developed. However, the theory is starting to be taken more seriously, and studies involving short-generation life forms such as nematode worms are making significant breakthroughs. We may soon have undeniable proof that our genetics pass down more than we think.
28. Which of the following behavior is hard-wired into our genes?
A. Learning to walk at two years old. B. Having meals due to hunger.
C. Recognizing parents’ voices after birth. D. Using tools to solve problems.
29. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Facial expressions may have a genetic basis.
B. Babies learn facial expressions from their parents.
C Emotional responses are totally shaped by environment.
D. Blind athletes can’t express emotions effectively.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The role genetics play in babies’ survival.
B. Significance of taste and smell in infants’ growth.
C. Infants’ adaptability to food flavors in the womb.
D. Impact of pregnant mothers’ diets on babies’ taste preferences.
31. What can we know about generational memory?
A. Environmental factors deny its existence. B. Promising scientific studies show its significance.
C. It has been proven by existing evidence. D. It powerfully explains people’s talent.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕基因遗传、本能行为、孕期环境对后代的影响以及代际记忆等科学话题展开,通过举例(如婴儿本能行为、盲人运动员的面部表情研究、线虫实验等),阐述基因对人类的影响以及与环境相互作用等方面的内容,展现遗传学领域的研究成果和现象。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When a baby is born, it needn’t be taught how to breathe or cry —this is hard-wired into our DNA. We know that when tired we need to sleep and when hungry we need to eat. The same goes for animals.(当婴儿出生时,不需要教他如何呼吸或哭泣——这是我们的DNA所固有的。我们知道累了需要睡觉,饿了需要吃饭。动物也是如此)”可知,因为饥饿而吃饭是基因中固有的本能。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, a 2019 study showed that athletes who had been born blind made the same disheartened expressions when losing as athletes with sight, suggesting that facial expressions may not be learnt from watching others.(然而,2019年的一项研究表明,先天失明的运动员在输球时的沮丧表情与视力正常的运动员一样,这表明面部表情可能不是通过观察别人来学习的)”可知,面部表情可能不依赖后天观察学习,而是遗传本能。故选A。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“While genetics play a part, infants are also heavily influenced during their time in the womb (子宫). Mothers who eat strong-tasting foods such as garlic can affect children’s taste buds, giving them a fancy for the same tastes later in life. Taste and smell are important triggers that babies look for when first feeding, as the mother’s milk will carry the same flavors experienced in the womb. This pre-birth taste sampling increases their chances of survival.(虽然基因起了一定的作用,但婴儿在子宫里也受到了很大的影响。吃大蒜等味道浓烈的食物的母亲会影响孩子的味蕾,让他们在以后的生活中喜欢同样的味道。味觉和嗅觉是婴儿在第一次喂食时寻找的重要触发因素,因为母乳会携带与子宫内相同的味道。这种出生前的味道取样增加了他们的生存机会)”可知,全段围绕母亲孕期饮食对婴儿味觉偏好的影响展开。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the theory is starting to be taken more seriously, and studies involving short-generation life forms such as nematode worms are making significant breakthroughs. We may soon have undeniable proof that our genetics pass down more than we think.(然而,这一理论开始得到更认真的对待,涉及短代生命形式(如线虫)的研究正在取得重大突破。我们可能很快就会有不可否认的证据表明,我们的基因比我们想象的要传递得更多)”可知,代际记忆的研究前景光明,科学界逐渐重视其意义。故选B。
D
I’ve always loved books. When I was a child, I would bring them everywhere. I became a reader in the absence of digital audiobooks, and they never really entered my world of reading. Nevertheless, with the rise of smartphones, audiobooks have exploded in popularity, and as with any new interest, new criticisms have risen in response — audiobooks aren’t really books, and that listening to them isn’t really reading.
I’ll admit, I used to think that audiobooks “didn’t count” because you could listen to them passively. One of my biggest annoyances is wandering during an audiobook and realizing I have no idea where I stopped paying attention. And I’m also still a print book lover — I hate ebooks, and I only use them when it’s tough to get a book any other way.
But I have grown to love audiobooks for the distinct advantages they offer — for example, some have voice actors do distinctive voices for different characters, or actually put melody to songs that only have lyrics in the written text. A great example is Cary Elwes’ As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. Elwes narrates the book himself, and brings other actors from the film like Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright from the film to narrate their own sections. That’s just an experience you’re never going to get with a paperback (平装书).
Sometimes I prefer an audiobook. It’s the only way to read if I’m on a long drive or if I want to do multitasks. Sometimes I prefer a book. I love the way books feel in my hands, I love flipping pages, and I love collecting bookmarks.
Engage with books however you want. Buy them, get them from the library, borrow them from friends, download them online, it doesn’t matter. Don’t we have better uses for our time than to pick apart how other people take in information?
32. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. An issue about audiobooks. B. An opinion about print books.
C. A reading story in childhood. D. A popular belief of digital reading.
33. What did the author think of audiobooks before?
A. Listening to them was really reading.
B. Listening to them was a passive involvement.
C. He knew where he was when listening to them.
D. He thought it easier to find them than print books.
34. Why does the author mention Cary Elwes’ audiobook?
A. To introduce its actors. B. To show his reading preference.
C. To highlight its unique features. D. To share his reading experience.
35. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. It’s beneficial to choose one reading way.
B. It’s useful to know about others’ reading time.
C. It’s necessary to obtain various reading resources.
D. It’s practical to use different ways of reading books.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了有声书的争议及作者对其态度的转变,主张以多种方式读书。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I’ve always loved books. When I was a child, I would bring them everywhere. I became a reader in the absence of digital audiobooks, and they never really entered my world of reading. Nevertheless, with the rise of smartphones, audiobooks have exploded in popularity, and as with any new interest, new criticisms have risen in response — audiobooks aren’t really books, and that listening to them isn’t really reading.(我一直很爱书。小时候,我走到哪儿都会带着书。在没有数字有声书的年代,我就成了一名读者,而有声书也从未真正走进我的阅读世界。然而,随着智能手机的兴起,有声书迅速走红,就像任何新事物都会引发关注一样,针对有声书的批评也随之而来——有人说有声书算不上真正的书,听有声书也算不上真正的阅读)”可知,第一段主要讲的是有声书的一个问题,即“有声书算不上真正的书,听有声书也算不上真正的阅读”。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I’ll admit, I used to think that audiobooks “didn’t count” because you could listen to them passively.(我得承认,我以前也觉得有声书“不算数”,因为你可以被动地听)”可知,作者以前认为听有声书是一种被动的参与。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But I have grown to love audiobooks for the distinct advantages they offer — for example, some have voice actors do distinctive voices for different characters, or actually put melody to songs that only have lyrics in the written text. A great example is Cary Elwes’ As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. Elwes narrates the book himself, and brings other actors from the film like Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright from the film to narrate their own sections. That’s just an experience you’re never going to get with a paperback.(但我逐渐爱上了有声书,因为它们有独特的优势——例如,有些有声书会让配音演员为不同的角色做不同的声音,或者为只有书面歌词的歌曲配上旋律。一个很好的例子是Cary Elwes的《如你所愿:公主新娘制作中不可思议的故事》。Elwes自己讲述了这本书,并邀请了电影中的其他演员,如Mandy Patinkin和Robin Wright,来讲述他们自己的部分。这是你在平装书中永远无法获得的体验)”可知,作者提到Cary Elwes的有声书是为了突出有声书有独特的优势。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Sometimes I prefer an audiobook. It’s the only way to read if I’m on a long drive or if I want to do multitasks. Sometimes I prefer a book. I love the way books feel in my hands, I love flipping pages, and I love collecting bookmarks.(有时我更喜欢有声书。如果我在长途驾驶或想同时做多项任务,这是唯一的阅读方式。有时我更喜欢纸质书。我喜欢书在我手里的感觉,我喜欢翻页,我喜欢收集书签)”和最后一段“Engage with books however you want. Buy them, get them from the library, borrow them from friends, download them online, it doesn’t matter.(以任何你喜欢的方式与书互动。买它们,从图书馆借,从朋友那里借,在网上下载,都没关系)”可知,作者认为使用不同的阅读方式是实用的,无论选择哪种阅读方式都有其独特的优势。故选D。

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。
How to Create a Sustainable Home Garden in Daily Life
A home garden is more than just a decorative addition to your space — it can purify the air, provide fresh herbs or vegetables, and even reduce stress by connecting you with nature. However, many people hesitate to start one, worrying about high costs, lack of time, or limited knowledge of planting. ___36___ With simple, sustainable methods, anyone can build a thriving home garden without unnecessary effort or expense.
First, choose the right plants for your environment. Not all plants grow well in the same conditions — some need full sunlight, while others thrive in shade; some require frequent watering, while others prefer dry soil. ___37___ For example, if your balcony gets 6+ hours of sunlight daily, you can grow sun-loving plants like tomatoes, basil, or marigolds. If your space is mostly shaded, ferns, pothos, or spinach will be better choices. Picking suitable plants reduces the need for extra care (like artificial lighting or frequent watering), making your garden more sustainable.
Second, use recycled materials for planters and tools. Buying new planters and gardening tools can be expensive, but you can easily repurpose items you already have at home. ___38___ Old plastic bottles (cut in half and punched with drainage holes) make great planters for small herbs; used yogurt cups are perfect for starting seedlings; and a wooden spoon or old fork can work as a simple trowel. This not only saves money but also reduces waste, aligning with the “sustainable” goal of your garden.
Third, adopt water-saving watering habits. Overwatering is a common mistake that harms plants and wastes water. ___39___ Instead of watering on a fixed schedule, check the soil moisture first — stick your finger 2 centimeters into the soil; if it feels dry, it’s time to water. You can also collect rainwater in a bucket during rainy days and use it to water your plants, as rainwater is free of chemicals (like chloride in tap water) that can harm some plants.
___40___ Many beginner gardeners forget that plants need nutrients to grow, but chemical fertilizers can pollute the soil and water. Instead, use natural fertilizers you can make at home: compost (from fruit peels, vegetable scraps, and yard waste), eggshell powder (rich in calcium for plants like tomatoes), or diluted coffee grounds (great for acid-loving plants like roses). These natural options are safe, cheap, and help keep your garden ecosystem healthy.
In conclusion, creating a sustainable home garden isn’t about being a professional gardener — it’s about making smart, eco-friendly choices. By choosing the right plants, reusing materials, saving water, and using natural fertilizers, you can enjoy a beautiful, useful garden that benefits both you and the environment.
A. Another key step is to use natural fertilizers instead of chemical ones.
B. However, these worries are often unnecessary with the right approach.
C. You can also ask local garden centers for advice on plant selection.
D. For example, watering delicate herbs every day may cause their roots to rot.
E. Many people also like to decorate their gardens with colorful stones or small statues.
F. Avoid using large planters that take up too much space on your balcony or windowsill.
G. You can even repurpose old clothing as plant ties to support climbing plants like beans.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. G 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,短文介绍了如何在日常生活中打造可持续家庭花园。
【36题详解】
根据前文“However, many people hesitate to start one, worrying about high costs, lack of time, or limited knowledge of planting.(然而,很多人却犹豫着不敢开始,担心成本高、没时间或是种植知识不足)”,以及后文“With simple, sustainable methods, anyone can build a thriving home garden...(通过简单、可持续的方法,任何人都能打造茂盛的家庭花园……)”可知,此空需承接“人们的担忧”,并通过转折说明“这些担忧可通过正确方法解决”。 B选项“However, these worries are often unnecessary with the right approach.(然而,只要方法得当,这些担忧往往是多余的)”中,“these worries”指代前文“成本、时间、知识”的顾虑,“however”表转折,“the right approach”呼应后文“simple, sustainable methods”,完美串联“提出担忧—否定担忧—给出方法”的逻辑。故选B项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Not all plants grow well in the same conditions — some need full sunlight, while others thrive in shade; some require frequent watering, while others prefer dry soil.(并非所有植物都能在相同环境中长势良好 —— 有些需要充足的阳光,而另一些则在阴凉处繁茂生长;有些需要频繁浇水,而另一些则更适应干燥的土壤)”可知,此空需补充“如何选择合适植物”的具体建议 C选项“You can also ask local garden centers for advice on plant selection.(你也可以向当地的园艺中心咨询植物选择的建议)”符合语境。故选C项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Buying new planters and gardening tools can be expensive, but you can easily repurpose items you already have at home.(用购买新的花盆和园艺工具可能价格不菲,但你完全可以轻松改造家里已有的物品,赋予它们新的用途)”,可知,此空需继续列举“改造旧物”的例子,进一步支撑“回收利用”的观点。 G选项“You can even repurpose old clothing as plant ties to support climbing plants like beans.(你甚至可以把旧衣服改造成植物绑带,用来支撑豆类等攀爬植物)”符合语境。故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Overwatering is a common mistake that harms plants and wastes water.(浇水过多是常见错误,会伤害植物还浪费水)”可知,此空需举例说明“浇水过多的危害”,让观点更具说服力。 D选项“For example, watering delicate herbs every day may cause their roots to rot.(比如,每天给娇嫩的香草浇水,可能会导致它们烂根)”符合语境。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据后文“Many beginner gardeners forget that plants need nutrients to grow, but chemical fertilizers can pollute the soil and water. Instead, use natural fertilizers you can make at home: compost (from fruit peels, vegetable scraps, and yard waste), eggshell powder (rich in calcium for plants like tomatoes), or diluted coffee grounds (great for acid-loving plants like roses).(很多园艺新手会忽略植物生长需要养分这一点,但化学肥料会污染土壤和水源。相反,你可以使用在家自制的天然肥料:比如堆肥(由果皮、蔬菜边角料和庭院废弃物制成)、蛋壳粉末(富含钙,适合西红柿等植物),或是稀释的咖啡渣(很适合玫瑰这类喜酸性植物)”可知,此空需作为段落小标题,概括“用天然肥料替代化肥”的核心内容。A选项“Another key step is to use natural fertilizers instead of chemical ones.(另一个关键步骤是用天然肥料替代化学肥料)”符合语境。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国新疆著名的独库公路的基本情况、建设背景、沿途景观、开放时间以及其在经济和文化方面所产生的重要影响。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:独库公路,被视为中国新疆一条非凡的公路,全长561公里,连接着北部的独山子和南部的库车。句中已有谓语动词stretches,此处为非谓语动词作定语,view与其逻辑主语Duku Highway之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词viewed。故填viewed。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这条公路蜿蜒穿过神奇的天山山脉,提供了各种各样令人惊叹的景色。此处为谓语动词,结合语境以及上文的谓语动词stretches可知,此处描述的是客观事实,所以用一般现在时,主语This highway是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用 winds。故填winds。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了建成独库公路,数千名士兵和工人投身于它的建设。结合句意,此处表示“为了……”,所以用动词不定式to complete作目的状语,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填To complete。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们克服了复杂地形和恶劣天气等众多挑战,其中168人献出了宝贵的生命。空处引导非限定性定语从句,先行词是thousands of soldiers and workers,指人,且关系词在从句中作of的宾语,所以用关系代词whom。故填whom。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们的英勇努力将一段艰苦的旅程变成了一条非凡的交通干线,缩短了新疆南北之间的距离,加强了国防。空处作动词strengthening的宾语,所以用名词,defend的名词为defense/defence,表示“防御,国防”。故填defense/defence。
【61题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:目前,凭借其迷人的风景和丰富的文化内涵,没有人否认独库公路已经成为中国最受欢迎的旅游路线这一事实。空处引导同位语从句,解释说明the fact的具体内容,从句中不缺少成分,且句意完整,所以用连接词that引导。故填that。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这条公路呈现出多样的景观,从积雪覆盖的山峰、茂密的森林到广阔的草原和深邃的山谷。句中已有谓语动词presents,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰landscapes,range与其逻辑主语landscapes之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词ranging。故填ranging。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:由于下雪天气和道路结冰,它每年从6月到10月开放。根据句意可知,此处为固定短语thanks to意为“由于,多亏”,所以用介词to。故填to。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:旅行者们高度赞扬它不断变化的景色,称它为一条必驾之路。根据句意可知,此处表示“一条必驾之路”,为泛指,且must-drive是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意:在文化方面,随着沿途不同民族的人们更加频繁地交流,它促进了民族融合。空处修饰动词interact,所以用副词,frequent的副词为 frequently,且根据句意以及空前的even可知,此处应为副词的比较级形式,表示“更加频繁”,所以用比较级more frequently。故填more frequently。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When entering seventh grade, I was excited about many new things, but one thing really bothered me — I started getting acne (青春痘). Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work.
I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain.
One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them.
But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race (接力赛)? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful.
Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg — the most critical role in the race.
注意:

【答案】
Then came the long-awaited sports day. My palms were sweaty as I stood at the final position of the track. When the third runner approached, I grabbed the baton firmly and sprinted like the wind. Cheers erupted as I overtook two opponents. Crossing the finish line first, I saw my teammates rushing towards me with joyful screams. To my surprise, classmates patted my shoulder excitedly, their eyes shining with admiration instead of judgment. Kim hugged me, “You’re our superhero!” No one mentioned my acne — they only remembered my flying figure on the track.
The victory was a turning point in my junior life. Gradually I realized people valued my abilities more than my appearance. I started raising my hand in class again and joined the school basketball team. Though acne still occasionally troubled me, I stopped hiding behind my hair. When a new student once asked about my skin, Kim immediately defended, “That’s just his warrior paint from saving our relay race!” We all laughed, and I finally understood true friendship sees beyond surfaces.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者进入七年级后因长青春痘而自卑,担心同学嘲笑,成绩下滑,在运动会接力赛报名时,Kim邀请作者加入,作者最终和队友们一起训练并在比赛中获胜的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“终于到了期待已久的运动会了”可知,第一段可描写作者在运动会接力赛上的表现,以及获胜后同学们的反应,突出大家对作者能力的认可,而非关注其青春痘。
②由第二段首句内容“这次胜利是我初中生活的一个转折点”可知,第二段可描写这次胜利对作者的影响,作者开始积极融入集体,不再因青春痘而自卑,明白了真正的友谊是超越外表的。
2.续写线索:运动会开始——努力比赛——同学欣赏——作者感悟——明白友谊真谛
3.词汇激活

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Greenwood High School, a public secondary school in Manchester, UK, has released its updated Student Disciplinary Policy for the 2025-2026 academic year. The policy aims to maintain a safe and respectful learning environment by clearly defining rule-breaking behaviors and corresponding consequences.
Level 1: Minor Misconduct
This includes behaviors like being late for class (more than 10 minutes), using mobile phones in non-permitted areas (e.g., classrooms during lessons), and leaving the campus without permission during break time. Consequences for Level 1 misconduct: a verbal warning from the teacher, and a record in the student’s behavior log. If a student receives three Level 1 warnings within one term, it will be upgraded to Level 2 misconduct.
Level 2: Moderate Misconduct
Examples include skipping a whole class (unauthorized absence), disrespectful language towards teachers or peers, and damaging school property worth less than £50 (e.g., drawing on desks). For Level 2 misconduct, students will face a 1-hour after-school detention (held on Wednesdays or Fridays), and a written notice sent to parents. A second Level 2 offense in the same term will lead to a meeting with the school’s discipline coordinator and a 3-day ban from school clubs or sports activities.
Level 3: Severe Misconduct
This covers serious behaviors such as physical violence against others, theft of personal or school property (worth over £50), and cheating in important exams (e.g., GCSE mock tests). Consequences are strict: an immediate 5-day suspension from school, a mandatory meeting between parents, the student, and the headteacher, and a permanent note in the student’s academic record. For repeated Level 3 offenses, the school may recommend expulsion (permanent removal from the school), which requires approval from the local education authority.
Appeal Process
Students or parents who disagree with a disciplinary decision can file an appeal within 3 school days of receiving the decision notice. The appeal must be submitted in writing to the school’s administration office stating the reasons for challenging the decision. A panel of three staff members (not involved in the original decision) will review the appeal and give a final response within 5 school days.
21. What will happen to a student who gets three Level 1 warnings in one term?
A. They will receive a written notice sent to parents.
B. Their offense will be treated as Level 2 misconduct.
C. They will be banned from school clubs for 3 days.
D. They will have to attend an after-school detention.
22. Which of the following behaviors belongs to Level 3 misconduct?
A. Skipping a whole day of school without permission.
B. Damaging a school computer worth £80.
C Using a mobile phone in the classroom during a lesson.
D. Speaking rudely to a classmate during a group activity.
23. How long do students have to file an appeal against a disciplinary decision?
A. Within 3 school days.
B. Within 5 school days.
C. Within one term.
D. Immediately after receiving the notice.
B
The British royal family live their lives in the public eye, but there’s one thing that not many people know: their last name. That’s simply because they don’t need a last name. They’re so famous that they can be easily picked out without one. But when members of the royal family need to use a last name—when they’re in school or in the military, for example—they actually have a few choices. Here’s a list of all their choices—and how it got to be this way in the first place.
Before 1917, royals didn’t use last names at all. Back then, royals had only their first names and the name of the house or dynasty they were part of. You’ve probably heard of some of these dynasty names, like the House of Tudor and the House of York. In 1917, when King George V had been in power for seven years, he decided to change the house name to Windsor. But he wasn’t just changing the dynasty name. George V also specified that Windsor was to become the royal family’s official surname, too. Today, the royal family is still known as the House of Windsor, and in a general sense, Windsor is still the royals’ last name.
When Queen Elizabeth II came to power, she made a small change. In1947,Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten. Just a few years later, after her father died, Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II. Mount batten became Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In 1960, Elizabeth and Philip decided that they wanted to make their branch of the royal family tree different from the others. They specified that their children would use the last name Mountbatten-Windsor. But royals don’t always use the Mount batten-Windsor name.
Some members have used the name of their family’s territory instead. For example, when Prince William and Prince Harry served in the army ,they went by William Wales and Harry
Wales—because their father is the Prince of Wales. And Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have gone by EugenieYork and Beatrice York, since their father, Prince Andrew, is the Duke of York.
24. Who made Windsor the royals’last name?
A. Philip Mountbatten. B. Queen Elizabeth II.
C. King George V. D. Prince William.
25. What was the change made by Queen Elizabeth II?
A. Her children can’t use their last names.
B. Her children can change their surnames.
C. Her children should use a certain surname.
D. Her children should have more popular names.
26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The royal members must serve in the army.
B. The royals’ children admire their father more.
C. The royal family like to live in a certain territory.
D. The royal family have their surnames after their territory sometimes.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Contributions of the British Royals
B. A View of the British Royals’Surnames
C. A Brief Introduction of the British Surnames
D. The Surviving Surnames of the British Royals
C
Your genes are inherited from parents and ancestors, picking up traits that help us survive and evolve with environments around us.
Much of this is encoded as natural instinct. When a baby is born, it needn’t be taught how to breathe or cry —this is hard-wired into our DNA. We know that when tired we need to sleep and when hungry we need to eat. The same goes for animals. Within two hours of being born, a foal attempts its first steps with little guidance from its parent, all from instinct.
As well as our basic instincts, our genetics can carry more complex abilities, knowledge and reflexes. Findings have also hinted that our facial expressions could be hard-wired behaviors. Babies start to smile at around two — again, this isn’t specifically taught. Although they may take in the expressions of people around, it’s hard to test if they connect emotion to the faces they see. However, a 2019 study showed that athletes who had been born blind made the same disheartened expressions when losing as athletes with sight, suggesting that facial expressions may not be learnt from watching others.
While genetics play a part, infants are also heavily influenced during their time in the womb (子宫). Mothers who eat strong-tasting foods such as garlic can affect children’s taste buds, giving them a fancy for the same tastes later in life. Taste and smell are important triggers that babies look for when first feeding, as the mother’s milk will carry the same flavors experienced in the womb. This pre-birth taste sampling increases their chances of survival.
Generational memory could also explain why certain people are naturally gifted in areas like music or sport. Actually, the existence of it is hard to prove, since so many environmental and outside factors change behaviour and personality, especially with young minds, which are easily developed. However, the theory is starting to be taken more seriously, and studies involving short-generation life forms such as nematode worms are making significant breakthroughs. We may soon have undeniable proof that our genetics pass down more than we think.
28. Which of the following behavior is hard-wired into our genes?
A. Learning to walk at two years old. B. Having meals due to hunger.
C. Recognizing parents’ voices after birth. D. Using tools to solve problems.
29. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Facial expressions may have a genetic basis.
B. Babies learn facial expressions from their parents.
C. Emotional responses are totally shaped by environment.
D. Blind athletes can’t express emotions effectively.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The role genetics play in babies’ survival.
B. Significance of taste and smell in infants’ growth.
C. Infants’ adaptability to food flavors in the womb.
D. Impact of pregnant mothers’ diets on babies’ taste preferences.
31. What can we know about generational memory?
A. Environmental factors deny its existence. B. Promising scientific studies show its significance.
C. It has been proven by existing evidence. D. It powerfully explains people’s talent.
D
I’ve always loved books. When I was a child, I would bring them everywhere. I became a reader in the absence of digital audiobooks, and they never really entered my world of reading. Nevertheless, with the rise of smartphones, audiobooks have exploded in popularity, and as with any new interest, new criticisms have risen in response — audiobooks aren’t really books, and that listening to them isn’t really reading.
I’ll admit, I used to think that audiobooks “didn’t count” because you could listen to them passively. One of my biggest annoyances is wandering during an audiobook and realizing I have no idea where I stopped paying attention. And I’m also still a print book lover — I hate ebooks, and I only use them when it’s tough to get a book any other way.
But I have grown to love audiobooks for the distinct advantages they offer — for example, some have voice actors do distinctive voices for different characters, or actually put melody to songs that only have lyrics in the written text. A great example is Cary Elwes’ As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. Elwes narrates the book himself, and brings other actors from the film like Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright from the film to narrate their own sections. That’s just an experience you’re never going to get with a paperback (平装书).
Sometimes I prefer an audiobook. It’s the only way to read if I’m on a long drive or if I want to do multitasks. Sometimes I prefer a book. I love the way books feel in my hands, I love flipping pages, and I love collecting bookmarks.
Engage with books however you want. Buy them, get them from the library, borrow them from friends, download them online, it doesn’t matter. Don’t we have better uses for our time than to pick apart how other people take in information?
32. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. An issue about audiobooks. B. An opinion about print books.
C. A reading story in childhood. D. A popular belief of digital reading.
33. What did the author think of audiobooks before?
A. Listening to them was really reading.
B. Listening to them was a passive involvement.
C. He knew where he was when listening to them.
D. He thought it easier to find them than print books.
34. Why does the author mention Cary Elwes’ audiobook?
A. To introduce its actors. B. To show his reading preference.
C. To highlight its unique features. D. To share his reading experience.
35. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. It’s beneficial to choose one reading way.
B. It’s useful to know about others’ reading time.
C It’s necessary to obtain various reading resources.
D. It’s practical to use different ways of reading books.

How to Create a Sustainable Home Garden in Daily Life
A home garden is more than just a decorative addition to your space — it can purify the air, provide fresh herbs or vegetables, and even reduce stress by connecting you with nature. However, many people hesitate to start one, worrying about high costs, lack of time, or limited knowledge of planting. ___36___ With simple, sustainable methods, anyone can build a thriving home garden without unnecessary effort or expense.
First, choose the right plants for your environment. Not all plants grow well in the same conditions — some need full sunlight, while others thrive in shade; some require frequent watering, while others prefer dry soil. ___37___ For example, if your balcony gets 6+ hours of sunlight daily, you can grow sun-loving plants like tomatoes, basil, or marigolds. If your space is mostly shaded, ferns, pothos, or spinach will be better choices. Picking suitable plants reduces the need for extra care (like artificial lighting or frequent watering), making your garden more sustainable.
Second, use recycled materials for planters and tools. Buying new planters and gardening tools can be expensive, but you can easily repurpose items you already have at home. ___38___ Old plastic bottles (cut in half and punched with drainage holes) make great planters for small herbs; used yogurt cups are perfect for starting seedlings; and a wooden spoon or old fork can work as a simple trowel. This not only saves money but also reduces waste, aligning with the “sustainable” goal of your garden.
Third, adopt water-saving watering habits. Overwatering is a common mistake that harms plants and wastes water. ___39___ Instead of watering on a fixed schedule, check the soil moisture first — stick your finger 2 centimeters into the soil; if it feels dry, it’s time to water. You can also collect rainwater in a bucket during rainy days and use it to water your plants, as rainwater is free of chemicals (like chloride in tap water) that can harm some plants.
___40___ Many beginner gardeners forget that plants need nutrients to grow, but chemical fertilizers can pollute the soil and water. Instead, use natural fertilizers you can make at home: compost (from fruit peels, vegetable scraps, and yard waste), eggshell powder (rich in calcium for plants like tomatoes), or diluted coffee grounds (great for acid-loving plants like roses). These natural options are safe, cheap, and help keep your garden ecosystem healthy.
In conclusion, creating a sustainable home garden isn’t about being a professional gardener — it’s about making smart, eco-friendly choices. By choosing the right plants, reusing materials, saving water, and using natural fertilizers, you can enjoy a beautiful, useful garden that benefits both you and the environment.
A. Another key step is to use natural fertilizers instead of chemical ones.
B. However, these worries are often unnecessary with the right approach.
C. You can also ask local garden centers for advice on plant selection.
D. For example, watering delicate herbs every day may cause their roots to rot.
E. Many people also like to decorate their gardens with colorful stones or small statues.
F. Avoid using large planters that take up too much space on your balcony or windowsill.
G. You can even repurpose old clothing as plant ties to support climbing plants like beans.

During the ____45____ , a young woman named Emily immediately stepped forward.

While others ____49____ , Emily stayed with the man, reassuring him until paramedics arrived.
Later, when asked why she acted so quickly, Emily simply said, “I couldn’t just ____50____ . Assisting others is what makes us human.” Her ____51____ really hit me hard, reminding us that compassion is not just a virtue but a fundamental part of who we are.
Emily's actions didn't just save a life; they also ____52____ those around her. Witnesses to the event later shared how her selflessness moved them to be more ____53____ when noticing someone in need. One bystander even started volunteering at a local shelter, citing Emily's example as his motivation.
This story makes a powerful truth obvious: assisting others is not just about grand gestures. It's about the small but decisive ____54____ we make every day — to listen, to care, and to act. In a world that often seems ____55____ , these acts of kindness to strangers remind us of our shared humanity and the potential we all have to make a difference.

When entering seventh grade, I was excited about many new things, but one thing really bothered me — I started getting acne (青春痘). Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work.
I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply.

But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race (接力赛)? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful.
Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg — the most critical role in the race.
