B Ed Jackson’s team were trying to climb to the top of a Himalayan Mountain. However, weeks after they set off, they were stranded (滞留) there overnight without water, food or tents at a temperature of about -30 ℃. They took turns to keep each other awake in case they fell asleep and did not wake up again. Actually, that night on the mountain top was not the first time that Jackson had been close to death. Five years ago, while still a professional rugby player, Jackson broke his neck in a challenge, which nearly killed him. Jackson was told by doctors that he was likely to face life in a wheelchair. He was forced to retire from playing rugby. Luckily, Jackson managed to discard his wheelchair six months after the accident. To mark the first anniversary of his accident, Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, even though he was still using two crutches (拐杖) then. He tried to climb many higher mountains after that. Four years later, he found himself in the Himalayas. The challenges that Jackson faced in the mountains have had a great impact on his recovery both physically and mentally. Jackson realized that others might benefit, too. So he started the charity Millimeters to Mountains (M2M) with his wife Lois and his friend OilyBarkley. It takes beneficiaries (受益人) who have suffered physical or psychological injuries in challenges around the world, allowing them to access the healing power of nature. Jackson says, “I once lost hope in life because of my bad condition, thinking there was nothing I could do. But hopefully what I’m doing, what we’re doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give anyone the hope that they can turn their life around, no matter how discouraging it might seem at that moment.” 19. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. Jackson was tired of ball games. B. Jackson was respected for his will. C. Jackson was no stranger to suffering in life. D. Jackson was advised to do exercise by his doctors. 20. What does the underlined word “discard” probably mean in the third paragraph? A. Carry through. B. Rely on. C. Tear apart. D. Give up. 21. Why did Jackson start M2M? A To educate sports lovers. B. To encourage safe mountain climbing. C. To help people with similar experiences. D. To raise money for the physically challenged. 22. What of the following can best describe Jackson? A. Creative and aggressive. B. Adventurous and inspiring. C. Responsible and humorous. D. Enthusiastic and independent. C Climate change is increasing the risk of wildfires in many regions of the world. This is partly due to specific weather conditions-known as fire weather-that facilitate the spread of wildfires. Researchers from the Helmholtz Centre have found that fire weather seasons are increasingly overlapping (重合) between eastern Australia and western North America. The west coast of North America and the east coast of Australia have been repeatedly hit hard by wildfires. For example, the January 2025 wildfire disaster in Los Angeles destroyed over 10,000 buildings and claimed 29 lives. The east coast of Australia was hit by one of the country’s most disastrous bush-fires between September 2019 and March 2020: more than 12 million hectares of forest burned. Firefighters from Canada, the US, and Australia have supported each other during these disasters. The greatest likelihood of overlap — around 75% — occurs between July and December. Overall, the number of overlapping fire days in eastern Australia and western North America has been increasing by one day per year for the past 40 years. “This is because the fire season in eastern Australia is starting earlier in spring and overlapping with the fire season on the west coast of North America,” explains Dr Andreia Ribeiro. This poses a challenge for cooperation between US, Canadian, and Australian fire services, which have long supported one another during wildfire emergencies. In the past, the fire seasons occurred at different times of the year: on the west coast of North America between June and October and in eastern Australia between October and March. These gaps provided enough time for teams to assist one another when needed. But these increasingly overlapping fire weather seasons in the US and Australia are narrowing the window for international cooperation and making it harder to respond quickly to large-scale wildfires. The research will contribute to the improvement of international firefighting cooperation and national firefighting capacities. Both Australia and the US will need to strengthen their firefighting capacities in order to reduce reliance on international cooperation. 23. What’s the function of the figures mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To prove the significance of forests. B. To explain the cause of the wildfires. C. To show the severity of the wildfires. D. To encourage the protection of forests. 24. What has led to the increasing overlap of fire weather days in the regions mentioned? A. The warming temperature around the globe. B. The extended fire season in western America. C. The high frequency of disasters in North America. D. The early arrival of the fire season in eastern Australia. 25. What is the consequence of the increasing overlap of fire seasons according to the passage? A. It will reduce the damage caused by wildfires. B. It will make international cooperation challenging. C. It will pave the way for quick response to wildfires. D. It will strengthen the support between US and Australia. 26. What is the author’s attitude toward the research? A. Opposed. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. D Any student learning a foreign language knows that grammar can be complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) and suffixes (后缀), we can express different meanings. However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is — who created grammar? Some languages appeared during the Atlantic slave trade. Slaves who spoke different languages developed a simple form of communication called a pidgin. This pidgin borrowed words from the language of the landowners. It had very little grammar, so people needed many words to express an idea. However, once children learned this pidgin as their first language, it changed into a full language. These children did not just repeat what they heard. They shaped it into a rich language, creating a new grammatical system. Another example comes from sign languages for the deaf. These are not just random gestures — they contain grammatical rules, just like spoken languages. The creation of one such language was observed quite recently in Nicaragua. Not long ago, in Nicaragua, a new sign language was created. Deaf children were taught lip- reading in school, but outside class they used gestures from home to make their own sign system. It was like a pidgin, without clear grammar. Later, younger children developed a new sign language from the older children’s system. It was simpler and faster, with special grammatical ways to make meanings clear. All the children used the signs the same way, improving the original pidgin greatly. Most experts believe that most languages were pidgins at first. At first, they were used in separate groups without fixed rules, and later became standardized. The English past tense — “ed” ending — may have come from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end — did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy. 27. What can we know about the slaves’ pidgin language? A. It was created by the landowners. B. It was the slaves’ native language. C. It was not easy to express an idea. D. It contained highly complex grammar. 28. What is special about the new Nicaragua sign language? A. No same signs were used for communication. B. Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities. C. The hand movements were smoother and more attractive. D. The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language. 29. Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph? A. English grammar of the past tense system is inaccurate. B. Children say English past tense differently from adults. C. The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable. D. Experts have proven that English was created by children. 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Creators of Grammar B. The History of Languages C. Why Pidgins came into Being D. How Grammar Systems Are Used 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。 Ronnie Schultz, a 66-year-old who lives in Manhattan, finds creative ways to work on her balance daily.

A. affecting; has B. affected; has C. affecting; have D. affected; have 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词和时态。句意：此次旱灾所影响的人数已超过一万人。第一空affect与people构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语；第二空主语为The great number of people，助动词用has。故选B。 2. A brilliant solution________ her just as she was about to give up. A. struck B. attacked C. beat D. caught 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：就在她即将要放弃的时候，她突然想到了一个绝妙的解决办法。A. struck打击，使想起；B. attacked攻击；C. beat打败；D. caught抓住。根据上文“A brilliant solution”可知为sth. strikes sb.表示“某人突然想到某事/某个主意”，故选A。 3. She reached a point in her career________ she had to make a big decision. A. which B. where C. when D. why 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句关系词。句意：她在职业生涯中到了一个必须做出重大决定的阶段。先行词是point，表示“阶段，地步”，在从句she had to make a big decision中作抽象地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导定语从句。故选B项。 4. In the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, over 240,000 people were found________. A. dying B. deadly C. dead D. died 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：在1976年的唐山大地震中，有超过24万人丧生。句子使用了 find sb. + adj. 的被动结构 sb. be found + adj.，此处需要一个形容词作主语补足语，说明主语 over 240,000 people 的状态。形容词dying垂死的；deadly致命的，不符合语境，died为动词的过去式。故选C。 5. Chongqing is the most beautiful city in China ________ people from all over the world want to visit.

However, weeks after they set off, they were stranded (滞留) there overnight without water, food or tents at a temperature of about -30 ℃. They took turns to keep each other awake in case they fell asleep and did not wake up again. Actually, that night on the mountain top was not the first time that Jackson had been close to death. Five years ago, while still a professional rugby player, Jackson broke his neck in a challenge, which nearly killed him. Jackson was told by doctors that he was likely to face life in a wheelchair. He was forced to retire from playing rugby. Luckily, Jackson managed to discard his wheelchair six months after the accident. To mark the first anniversary of his accident, Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, even though he was still using two crutches (拐杖) then. He tried to climb many higher mountains after that. Four years later, he found himself in the Himalayas. The challenges that Jackson faced in the mountains have had a great impact on his recovery both physically and mentally. Jackson realized that others might benefit, too. So he started the charity Millimeters to Mountains (M2M) with his wife Lois and his friend OilyBarkley. It takes beneficiaries (受益人) who have suffered physical or psychological injuries in challenges around the world, allowing them to access the healing power of nature. Jackson says, “I once lost hope in life because of my bad condition, thinking there was nothing I could do. But hopefully what I’m doing, what we’re doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give anyone the hope that they can turn their life around, no matter how discouraging it might seem at that moment.” 19. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. Jackson was tired of ball games. B. Jackson was respected for his will. C. Jackson was no stranger to suffering in life. D. Jackson was advised to do exercise by his doctors. 20. What does the underlined word “discard” probably mean in the third paragraph? A. Carry through. B. Rely on. C. Tear apart. D. Give up. 21. Why did Jackson start M2M? A. To educate sports lovers. B. To encourage safe mountain climbing. C. To help people with similar experiences. D To raise money for the physically challenged. 22. What of the following can best describe Jackson? A. Creative and aggressive. B. Adventurous and inspiring. C. Responsible and humorous. D. Enthusiastic and independent. 【答案】19. C 20. D 21. C 22. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Ed Jackson两次遇险后康复并创办慈善组织帮助他人故事。 【19题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“However, weeks after they set off, they were stranded (滞留) there overnight without water, food or tents at a temperature of about -30 ℃(然而，在他们出发几周后，他们在零下30摄氏度左右的环境中，没有水、食物和帐篷，在那里滞留了一夜)”以及第二段中的“Five years ago, while still a professional rugby player, Jackson broke his neck in a challenge, which nearly killed him.(五年前，当时还是职业橄榄球运动员的杰克逊在一次比赛中摔断了脖子，差点丧命)”可知，杰克逊曾遭遇登山滞留险境和运动重伤濒死这两次磨难，说明他对生活中的苦难并不陌生。故选C项。 【20题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词前所在的下一句“To mark the first anniversary of his accident, Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, even though he was still using two crutches (拐杖) then. (为了纪念他的事故一周年，Jackson给自己定下了攀登威尔士最高的山峰斯诺登山的目标，尽管当时他还拄着两根拐杖)”可知，Jackson不需再使用轮椅了，故划线词所在句意思是“幸运的是，Jackson在事故发生六个月后设法丢弃了他的轮椅。”所以划线词discard意为“抛弃”，与动词短语give up同义。故选D项。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Jackson realized that others might benefit, too. So he started the charity Millimeters to Mountains (M2M) with his wife Lois and his friend OilyBarkley. It takes beneficiaries (受益人) who have suffered physical or psychological injuries in challenges around the world (杰克逊意识到其他人也可能从中受益。于是，他与妻子洛伊丝和朋友奥利・巴克利共同创办了慈善组织 “毫米登山”。该组织的帮扶对象是那些在全球各地的挑战中遭受过身体或心理创伤的人) 可知，杰克逊创办这个慈善组织是为了帮助和他有相似受伤经历的人。故选C项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He tried to climb many higher mountains after that. Four years later, he found himself in the Himalayas.(从那以后，他尝试攀登更多更高的山峰。四年后，他登上了喜马拉雅山脉)”可知，杰克逊热爱冒险；及最后一段“ Jackson says, “I once lost hope in life because of my bad condition, thinking there was nothing I could do. But hopefully what I’m doing, what we’re doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give anyone the hope that they can turn their life around, no matter how discouraging it might seem at that moment.”(杰克逊说：“我曾经因为身体状况不好而对生活失去希望，觉得自己无能为力。但希望我所做的，我们与慈善机构所做的，以及我们的受益者所证明的，可以给任何人带来希望，让他们能够改变自己的生活，不管那一刻看起来多么令人沮丧。”)”可知，他是一个鼓舞人心的人。故选B项。 C Climate change is increasing the risk of wildfires in many regions of the world. This is partly due to specific weather conditions-known as fire weather-that facilitate the spread of wildfires. Researchers from the Helmholtz Centre have found that fire weather seasons are increasingly overlapping (重合) between eastern Australia and western North America. The west coast of North America and the east coast of Australia have been repeatedly hit hard by wildfires. For example, the January 2025 wildfire disaster in Los Angeles destroyed over 10,000 buildings and claimed 29 lives. The east coast of Australia was hit by one of the country’s most disastrous bush-fires between September 2019 and March 2020: more than 12 million hectares of forest burned. Firefighters from Canada, the US, and Australia have supported each other during these disasters. The greatest likelihood of overlap — around 75% — occurs between July and December. Overall, the number of overlapping fire days in eastern Australia and western North America has been increasing by one day per year for the past 40 years. “This is because the fire season in eastern Australia is starting earlier in spring and overlapping with the fire season on the west coast of North America,” explains Dr Andreia Ribeiro. This poses a challenge for cooperation between US, Canadian, and Australian fire services, which have long supported one another during wildfire emergencies. In the past, the fire seasons occurred at different times of the year: on the west coast of North America between June and October and in eastern Australia between October and March. These gaps provided enough time for teams to assist one another when needed. But these increasingly overlapping fire weather seasons in the US and Australia are narrowing the window for international cooperation and making it harder to respond quickly to large-scale wildfires. The research will contribute to the improvement of international firefighting cooperation and national firefighting capacities. Both Australia and the US will need to strengthen their firefighting capacities in order to reduce reliance on international cooperation. 23. What’s the function of the figures mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To prove the significance of forests. B. To explain the cause of the wildfires. C. To show the severity of the wildfires. D. To encourage the protection of forests. 24. What has led to the increasing overlap of fire weather days in the regions mentioned? A. The warming temperature around the globe. B. The extended fire season in western America. C. The high frequency of disasters in North America. D. The early arrival of the fire season in eastern Australia. 25. What is the consequence of the increasing overlap of fire seasons according to the passage? A. It will reduce the damage caused by wildfires. B. It will make international cooperation challenging. C. It will pave the way for quick response to wildfires. D. It will strengthen the support between US and Australia. 26. What is the author’s attitude toward the research? A. Opposed. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 【答案】23. C 24. D 25. B 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候变化导致野火季节在澳大利亚东部和北美西部重叠增加，给国际合作带来挑战。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, the January 2025 wildfire disaster in Los Angeles destroyed over 10,000 buildings and claimed 29 lives. The east coast of Australia was hit by one of the country’s most disastrous bush-fires between September 2019 and March 2020: more than 12 million hectares of forest burned.(例如，2025年1月，洛杉矶的野火灾害摧毁了1万多栋建筑，造成29人死亡。2019年9月至2020年3月，澳大利亚东海岸遭受了该国最严重的森林大火之一：超过1200万公顷的森林被烧毁)”可知，第二段中提到的数字是为了展示野火的严重性。故选C。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is because the fire season in eastern Australia is starting earlier in spring and overlapping with the fire season on the west coast of North America(这是因为澳大利亚东部的火灾季节在春季开始得更早，与北美西海岸的火灾季节重叠)”可知，澳大利亚东部火灾季提前到来导致了上述地区火灾季重叠现象加剧。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This poses a challenge for cooperation between US, Canadian, and Australian fire services(这给美国、加拿大和澳大利亚消防部门之间的合作带来了挑战)”及“But these increasingly overlapping fire weather seasons in the US and Australia are narrowing the window for international cooperation and making it harder to respond quickly to large-scale wildfires.(但美国和澳大利亚日益重叠的火灾天气季节正在缩小国际合作的窗口，使快速应对大规模野火变得更加困难)”可知，火灾季节重叠增加的后果是它将使国际合作具有挑战性。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The research will contribute to the improvement of international firefighting cooperation and national firefighting capacities.(这项研究将有助于改善国际消防合作和国家消防能力)”可推知，作者对这项研究持支持态度。故选B。 D Any student learning a foreign language knows that grammar can be complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) and suffixes (后缀), we can express different meanings. However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is — who created grammar? Some languages appeared during the Atlantic slave trade. Slaves who spoke different languages developed a simple form of communication called a pidgin. This pidgin borrowed words from the language of the landowners. It had very little grammar, so people needed many words to express an idea. However, once children learned this pidgin as their first language, it changed into a full language. These children did not just repeat what they heard. They shaped it into a rich language, creating a new grammatical system. Another example comes from sign languages for the deaf. These are not just random gestures — they contain grammatical rules, just like spoken languages. The creation of one such language was observed quite recently in Nicaragua. Not long ago, in Nicaragua, a new sign language was created. Deaf children were taught lip- reading in school, but outside class they used gestures from home to make their own sign system. It was like a pidgin, without clear grammar. Later, younger children developed a new sign language from the older children’s system. It was simpler and faster, with special grammatical ways to make meanings clear. All the children used the signs the same way, improving the original pidgin greatly. Most experts believe that most languages were pidgins at first. At first, they were used in separate groups without fixed rules, and later became standardized. The English past tense — “ed” ending — may have come from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end — did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy. 27. What can we know about the slaves’ pidgin language? A. It was created by the landowners. B. It was the slaves’ native language. C. It was not easy to express an idea. D. It contained highly complex grammar. 28. What is special about the new Nicaragua sign language? A. No same signs were used for communication. B. Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities. C. The hand movements were smoother and more attractive. D. The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language. 29. Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph? A. English grammar of the past tense system is inaccurate. B. Children say English past tense differently from adults. C. The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable. D. Experts have proven that English was created by children. 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Creators of Grammar B. The History of Languages C. Why Pidgins came into Being D. How Grammar Systems Are Used 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. C 30. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文以“谁创造了语法”为核心，通过奴隶洋泾浜语演变为完整语言、尼加拉瓜聋童创造规范手语两个案例，结合专家观点，说明儿童是语法的重要创造者，他们的大脑能在无现成语法可借鉴的情况下，构建出逻辑复杂的语法体系。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Slaves who spoke different languages developed a simple form of communication called a pidgin. This pidgin borrowed words from the language of the landowners. It had very little grammar, so people needed many words to express an idea.(讲不同语言的奴隶们创造出了一种名为洋泾浜语的简易交流方式。这种洋泾浜语借用了奴隶主语言中的词汇，它的语法体系极为贫乏，因此人们需要堆砌大量词汇才能表达一个完整的意思)”可知，奴隶们使用的洋泾浜语言表达一个想法并非易事。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Later, younger children developed a new sign language from the older children’s system. It was simpler and faster, with special grammatical ways to make meanings clear.(后来，年幼的孩子们从年长孩子的语言体系中发展出了新的手语。这种手语更加简单、快捷，并且具有特殊的语法结构来清晰地表达意思)”可知，新尼加拉瓜手语其含义比之前的尼加拉瓜手语更清晰。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Most experts believe that most languages were pidgins at first. At first, they were used in separate groups without fixed rules, and later became standardized. The English past tense — “ed” ending — may have come from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end — did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.(大多数专家认为，大多数语言最初都是洋泾浜语。起初，它们在不同的群体中使用，没有固定的规则，后来才逐渐标准化。英语的过去式——“ed”结尾——可能源自动词“do”。比如“it ended”（它结束了）可能曾经是“it end — did”。似乎儿童的大脑中具有语法机制。即使没有现成的语法供他们模仿，他们的思维也能构建出合乎逻辑且复杂的结构)”可知，作者在最后一段提出英语曾经是一种洋泾浜语言这一观点是可以接受的。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is — who created grammar?(然而，许多语言专家都无法理解并解释的一个问题是——究竟是谁创造了语法呢？)”以及本文以“谁创造了语法”为核心，通过奴隶洋泾浜语演变为完整语言、尼加拉瓜聋童创造规范手语两个案例，结合专家观点，说明儿童是语法的重要创造者，他们的大脑能在无现成语法可借鉴的情况下，构建出逻辑复杂的语法体系。可知，A选项“语法的创造者”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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。 Ronnie Schultz, a 66-year-old who lives in Manhattan, finds creative ways to work on her balance daily.

I’m writing to suggest including the language of Chinese into our current curriculum as an optional course, given that many students here show ongoing strong interest in it. Known as one of the most spoken languages in the world and with its growing popularity worldwide, Chinese has entered numerous classrooms in foreign countries. Besides, due to the rise of China’s international influence, speaking Chinese fluently has become a highly valued professional skill. Furthermore, learning Chinese helps open a unique window into one of the world’s richest and most ancient civilizations, which, meanwhile, will undoubtedly contribute to bridging the cultural gap between China and New Zealand. I hope you can take my suggestion into serious consideration. Looking forward to your reply.
