These tropical gems are spread across the eastern Gulf of Thailand and the western Andaman Sea, each offering its own unique charm. If you’re pressed for time and unsure which islands to add to your itinerary, keep reading for our curated list of the most enchanting spots. 1. Phuket Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is also one of its most varied. It’s a place where you can meditate with monks in temples, party hard, laze on beaches, watch elephants, eat well — and more. Due to its size, it’s worth thinking carefully about where you’d like to stay. Cross into the neighboring province of Phang Nga and you’ll have even quieter beaches. 2. Koh Samui Smaller Koh Samui, in the Gulf of Thailand, has its best weather between February and September (November has a lot of rain, so head to Phuket if you’re travelling over that month). The island’s perimeter is lined with some of the most luxurious hotels in Thailand, including the Four Seasons, private island escapes and plenty of plush villas. 3. Koh Phangan It’s a short hop from Samui to Koh Phangan, an island which, despite its full-moon party fame, has a much sleepier atmosphere in between those monthly events. There are busy parts you’ll find the backpackers congregating around Haad Rin beach — but if you venture north to Haad Khom you’ll find quieter stretches of sand. 4. Koh Tao It’s a little bit more effort to reach Koh Tao from Samui — ferries are regular, but take just a bit longer. Those who make the effort are rewarded with a laid-back and traffic-free island with long golden beaches and competitive dive courses. There are plenty of bars on the beach for cheap green curries. 1. Which island is recommended for travelers visiting in November? A. Koh Tao. B. Koh Samui. C. Koh Phangan. D. Phuket. 2. What makes Koh Tao a worthwhile destination for visitors? A. Regular and fast ferry services from Samui. B. Luxurious hotels and private island escapes. C. Long golden beaches and competitive dive courses. D. Famous full-moon parties and lively backpacker areas. 3. What is the common theme among the islands? A. They are located in the Andaman Sea. B. They offer relaxation and unique experiences. C. They are all known for their full-moon parties. D. They are only accessible by private boats. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了泰国几个迷人的岛屿及其特色，为游客提供旅行推荐。 1题详解】 细节理解题。根据2. Koh Samui标题下“November has a lot of rain, so head to Phuket if you’re travelling over that month.(11月份雨水很多，所以如果你在那个月旅行，就去普吉岛吧)”可知，11月推荐去普吉岛旅行。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据4. Koh Tao标题下“Those who make the effort are rewarded with a laid-back and traffic-free island with long golden beaches and competitive dive courses.(那些付出努力的人会得到一个悠闲、没有交通的岛屿，那里有长长的金色海滩和有竞争力的潜水课程)”可知，长长的金色海滩和有竞争力的潜水课程让涛岛成为游客值得一去的目的地。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“These tropical gems are spread across the eastern Gulf of Thailand and the western Andaman Sea, each offering its own unique charm.(这些热带宝石分布在泰国湾东部和安达曼海西部，每一个都有其独特的魅力)”以及后文对各个岛屿的介绍可知，这些岛屿的共同主题是它们都提供放松和独特的体验。故选B。 B In the vast, untouched expanse of wilderness, Isla and her faithful golden retriever (猎犬), Finn danced in a harmony of souls. Together, they weaved through myriad terrains, from shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets to rugged mountain paths that touched the heavens. Their bond was not of mere circumstance, but of shared dreams. Isla sought quiet away from the urban noise, while every rustle and murmur of the wild ignited Finn’s spirit. One dusky evening of crimson and purple, an unexpected storm took them off guard. Raindrops, heavy with sorrow, transformed familiar trails into flowing streams, in a desperate bid for refuge. Isla was trapped by the fierce embrace of the currents. It was Finn’s instinctive courage that shone brightly in that moment of despair, as he moved forward suddenly, securing her backpack with a steadfast grip, drawing her back to safety’s shore. Nestled in a rocky embrace, they clung to each other against the storm’s fury. When the storm’s rage decreased, the world they knew was covered in unfamiliarity. For the first time, Isla felt the weight of disorientation. But Finn, with unwavering confidence, stepped forward, trusting his instincts to unveil the path ahead. As days melted into weeks, just when hope seemed a distant star, the embrace of a hidden village hugged them gently. Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend. But the wild’s temptation could not be ignored. Restored, the two partners ventured once more into the embrace of nature, carrying with them the blessings and hopes of newfound friends. Through the rich and colorful picture of their adventures, it became evident that their true strength was not in conquering the elements but in the unyielding bond they shared. The wild was but a stage for their eternal ballet of friendship and perseverance. 4. What connected Isla to Finn? A. The urban noise. B. Circumstance and shared dreams. C. The untouched expanse of wilderness. D. Shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets. 5. In paragraph 2, the underlined word “embrace” can be replaced by ________. A. control B. storm C. raindrop D. dusk 6. What were the villagers interested in? A. Finn’s confidence and intuition. B. Isla’s respect for nature. C. Isla and Finn’s exciting journey. D. The wild’s temptation. 7. Which of the following statements about Isla and Finn is true? A. Finn failed to pull Isla back to the safety of shore. B. The villagers wove Isla and Finn’s journey into local legend. C. Isla and Finn made their journeys based on a map or a compass. D. Isla and Finn’s real strength lied in conquering harsh environments. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Isla和猎犬Finn在荒野中冒险，遇风暴互救，最终获村民帮助并继续探索的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the vast, untouched expanse of wilderness, Isla and her faithful golden retriever, Finn danced in a harmony of souls. Together, they weaved through myriad terrains, from shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets to rugged mountain paths that touched the heavens. Their bond was not of mere circumstance, but of shared dreams.(在广袤无垠、未经人类涉足的荒野之中，Isla和她忠诚的金毛猎犬Finn，灵魂共鸣，共舞翩跹。他们一同穿梭于千变万化的地形之间，从回荡着古老秘密的幽暗森林，到直通天际的崎岖山径。他们之间的纽带并非仅仅源于偶然，而是基于共同的梦想。)”可知，连接Isla和Finn的是环境以及共同的梦想。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Isla was trapped by the fierce embrace of the currents.(Isla被湍急的水流embrace。)”可知，Isla被湍急的水流困住，此处embrace表示“紧紧困住，控制”，与control意思相近。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend.(村民们对他们漫长而激动人心的旅程很感兴趣，欢迎他们，他们的旅程被编织成了当地传说的画卷。)”可知，村民们对Isla和Finn的激动人心的旅程感兴趣。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend.(村民们对他们漫长而激动人心的旅程很感兴趣，欢迎他们，他们的旅程被编织成了当地传说的画卷。)”可知，村民们把Isla和Finn的旅程编成了当地的传说。故选B。 C The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid---we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink. However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴)native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water’s surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we，d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate w hitting. ’’ But fortunately there is an alternative : cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子）in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick Liquid of cornflour. Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink--and take a shower afterward! 8. Walking on water hasn’t become a reality mainly because humans______. A. are not interested in it B. have biological limitations C. have not invented proper tools D. are afraid to make an attempt 9. What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage? A. It is light enough to walk on water. B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water. C. It can run across water at a certain speed. D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water. 10. What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage? A. To create a thick liquid. B. To turn the water into solid. C. To help the liquid behave normally. D. To enable the water to move rapidly. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water? A. It is risky but beneficial. B. It is interesting and worth trying. C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality. D. It is impractical though theoretically possible. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。人类有一个一直感兴趣但一直未能实现的愿望：水上行走。不能实现的原因是“生物性局限”。本文主要介绍了一种理论上可行实际上难以实现的人类水上行走的方法：借助玉米粉（cornflour）增加水面浓度。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。从第一段Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid …可知，人类至今不能在水面行走是“生物”原因。选择B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。从第二段It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water’s surface with its feet.一句可知，这种蜥蜴能在水面行走是因为速度快（每秒钟达到20步）。选择 C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。第三段this common thickening agent明确这是一种“常见的增稠剂”。选择A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。从第二段it does take a lot，最后一段it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. 等句推断，借助增稠剂实现人类在水面行走，理论上可行但真正实现很难做到。选择D项。 【点睛】根据文章中提供的一些事实，再加上自己的常识，透过表面可以看到事物的本质，从而做出合理准确的判断。比如第11.小题，推断题。从第二段it does take a lot，最后一段it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. 等句推断，借助增稠剂实现人类在水面行走，理论上可行但真正实现很难做到。选择D项。 D To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians have ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil. So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans. What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell. What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch. Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at here father’s house had been the “introduction of this wonderful new fruit--or is it a vegetable?” As late as the 20th century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an “evil fruit”. But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. “ What are you afraid of ?” he shouted. “I’ll show you fools that theses things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory. 12. The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because___________. A. it made Christians evil B. it was the apple of Eden C. it came from a forbidden land D. it was religiously unacceptable 13. What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3? A. The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down. B. There was little progress in the study of the tomato. C. The tomato was still refused in most Western countries. D. Most Western people continued to plant the tomato. 14. What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly? A. To make himself a hero. B. To remove people’s fear of the tomato. C. To speed up the popularity of the tomato. D. To persuade people to buy products from his factory. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To challenge people’s fixed concepts of the tomato. B. To give an explanation to people’s dislike of the tomato. C. To present the change of people’s attitudes to the tomato. D. To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲的是西红柿在刚开始进入西方社会的时候，被人们认为是禁果，不能食用。这样的情况持续了很久，后来在一些勇敢者尝试了以后，被人们所接受，人们对西红柿的态度发生了转变。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil. So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.(对他们来说，伊甸园里的禁果是邪恶的。因此，当哥伦布从被错误地认为是伊甸园的南美洲带回西红柿时，每个人都得出了显而易见的结论。西红柿被错误地视为伊甸园中的苹果，因此欧洲人把它拒之门外)”可知，在基督教里西红柿被当成了禁果，主要是因为宗教方面的原因，故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据本句“Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet.”（小心谨慎的欧洲人长期以来忽视了番茄，直到18世纪早期，大多数西方人继续拖着他们的脚步。）可知谨慎的欧洲人仍然忽视了西红柿，知道18世纪早期人们仍然持有这样的观点，也就是西红柿是禁果，不能食用。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后三行“What are you afraid of? he shouted. I’ll show you fools that these things are good to eat! Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story set up a tomato-canning factory. ”(“你在害怕什么？”他喊道。“我要让你们这些傻瓜知道这些东西很好吃！”然后他咬了一口西红柿。有些人晕倒。但他活了下来，根据当地的一个故事，建立了一个番茄罐头工厂)可知，罗伯特·约翰逊当众吃西红柿是为了告诉人们西红柿可以吃，是为了去除人们的偏见。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段人们对西红柿的态度“Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.(西红柿被错误地视为伊甸园中的苹果，因此欧洲人把它拒之门外)”到最后一段“But in the end tomatoes carried the day.(但最后西红柿还是占上风)”以及文章大意可知，本文主要讲述的是人们对西红柿的态度的转变。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Surprising Benefits of Adding Adventure to Your Life When feeling blue, the thought of intense physical activity may seem like the worst idea. All you want to do is sit and maybe watch TV. ____16____ Research by J. Reese McLain (2025) shows adventure therapy (AT) is being used to treat psychological disorders. Defined as the structured use of adventure experiences in nature led by professionals, AT can include practices such as wilderness therapy and activities like kayaking or rock climbing. ____17____ The less adventurous or physically fit could still benefit as long as they’re getting outside and being as active as their abilities permit. ____18____ Through a comprehensive analysis of over 73,000 publications, researchers identified 12 quality studies involving more than 2,000 participants with anxiety symptoms. The results showed that 90% of participants experienced measurable benefits. No negative effects were reported — even with adults averaging 43 years old. Several psychological processes explain why adventure therapy works. One is grounded in existential therapy, which emphasizes personal responsibility when facing outdoor challenges. ____19____ It suggests that by overcoming physical challenges, individuals can build their confidence. Additionally, the team building and friendship developed when tackling difficult goals can help create a greater sense of connectedness. You don’t need to go kayaking to benefit. Outdoor activities can take many forms, from spending an hour pulling up weeds or planting flowers to using your lunch break to visit a local park. ____20____ When you combine that with enjoying the weather or scenery, you might be doing your mind a favor along with your body. A. Adlerian theory offers another explanation. B. Positive effects were seen even in 2-1/2 hours. C. These are tailored to individual needs and abilities. D. It also strengthens their bond with the natural world. E. The research evidence supporting AT’s effectiveness is convincing. F. Physical activity alone is a valuable addition to conventional therapy. G. Yet research suggests that outdoor activity could be exactly what you need. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了将冒险活动融入生活可以带来诸多益处，冒险疗法被用于治疗心理疾病，且效果显著，同时介绍了冒险疗法起作用的心理机制，并指出户外活动形式多样，有益身心。 【16题详解】 由上文“When feeling blue, the thought of intense physical activity may seem like the worst idea. All you want to do is sit and maybe watch TV. (当情绪低落时，进行剧烈的体育活动似乎是最糟糕的想法。你只想坐着，也许看看电视)”可知，人们在心情不好时通常不愿动。下文则要引出相反的观点或转折。G项“Yet research suggests that outdoor activity could be exactly what you need. (然而研究表明，户外活动可能正是你需要的)”中的“Yet”与上文形成鲜明对比和转折，“outdoor activity”引出下文主题，且“exactly what you need”直接反驳了上文的消极想法。故选G。 【17题详解】 由上文“Research by J. Reese McLain (2025) shows adventure therapy (AT) is being used to treat psychological disorders. Defined as the structured use of adventure experiences in nature led by professionals, AT can include practices such as wilderness therapy and activities like kayaking or rock climbing. (J. Reese McLain（2025）的研究表明，冒险疗法（AT）正被用于治疗心理障碍。AT被定义为在专业人士的带领下，在大自然中有组织地进行冒险体验，包括野外治疗和皮划艇或攀岩等活动)”可知，本段在介绍AT的定义和形式。C项“These are tailored to individual needs and abilities. (这些是根据个人需求和能力量身定制的)”中的“These”指代上文提到的各种AT活动，说明其个性化特点，能很好地衔接上文，并为下一句“The less adventurous or physically fit could still benefit... (不太喜欢冒险或身体素质较差的人仍然可以从中受益……)”提供了依据，即因为活动是可调整的，所以不同能力的人都能参与。故选C。 18题详解】 由下文“Through a comprehensive analysis of over 73,000 publications, researchers identified 12 quality studies involving more than 2,000 participants with anxiety symptoms. (通过对超过73,000篇出版物的综合分析，研究人员确定了12项高质量研究，涉及2000多名有焦虑症状的参与者)”可知，本段的核心是引用具体的研究数据来证明AT的效果。E项“The research evidence supporting AT’s effectiveness is convincing. (支持AT有效性的研究证据是令人信服的)”是一个总结性的观点句，完美地概括了下文即将展开的实证研究内容，起到了引领段落的作用。故选E。 【19题详解】 由上文“One is grounded in existential therapy, which emphasizes personal responsibility when facing outdoor challenges. (一种基于存在主义疗法，强调在面对户外挑战时的个人责任)”可知，此处正在解释AT起效的一种心理学理论。A项“Adlerian theory offers another explanation. (阿德勒理论提供了另一种解释)”中的“another”与上文的“one”相呼应，表明接下来将介绍第二种不同的理论，逻辑连贯，结构清晰。故选A。 【20题详解】 由上文“You don’t need to go kayaking to benefit. Outdoor activities can take many forms, from spending an hour pulling up weeds or planting flowers to using your lunch break to visit a local park. (你不需要去划皮划艇来受益。户外活动可以有多种形式，从花一个小时拔草或种花到利用午休时间去当地的公园。)”可知，任何简单的户外体力活动都是有益的。F项“Physical activity alone is a valuable addition to conventional therapy. (仅凭体力活动本身就是对传统疗法的宝贵补充)”总结了这类简单体力活动的价值，与上文列举的例子紧密相关，并通过“addition to conventional therapy”呼应了文章开头提到的心理健康治疗主题。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I met Carla in the darkest days of life.15 years ago, I was in bad ____21____.

When we were little, people would ask if we were twins. We lived in the mountains and only had each other for a long time, so we weren't just brother and sister, we were best friends. Everything changed after our parents divorced. He went to live with my father, I with my mother. Sometimes he visited us and sometimes I visited them, but we grew more distant each time. By the time I was thirteen, we'd stopped hanging out altogether. I think the only time we ever spoke was at Christmas, and it was all polite but painfully awkward, like he was a complete stranger instead of my little brother. Several years later, after being accepted to a major university three thousand miles away, I made a bold plan: to drive across the country on my own. The idea of traveling alone thrilled me, filling me with excitement and a hint of nervousness, though I knew that the road could be lonely and unpredictable — endless stretches without seeing a single person, and sometimes even wild animals crossing out of nowhere. My parents, however, thought it would be safer if my brother came along as my travel companion on the long drive to college. Needless to say, we were both furious (愤怒的) about the idea. The last thing either of us wanted was to spend a week in a car together — he, with a sister he barely knew, and I, with a “babysitter” I never asked for. But it was settled. Two weeks later, we set off. For the first six hundred miles, neither of us spoke much unless absolutely necessary.The silence was thick with tension, and it didn't take long before we argued over what music to play, how fast to drive, and when to take breaks, each of us stubbornly sticking to our own way, rolling our eyes and sighing in frustration. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just when I thought the trip would be unbearable, something unexpected happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Still trembling from the accident, I realized he was holding my hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just when I thought the trip would be unbearable, something unexpected happened. We were driving through a remote stretch of countryside when a deer darted out from the woods. I slammed on the brakes instinctively, and the car skidded sharply on the wet road before coming to a halt. My heart raced as I stared at the deer, which stood frozen for a second before vanishing into the trees. When I finally calmed down, I realized the car wouldn’t start — the engine just sputtered and died. We were in the middle of nowhere, with no cell phone signal. I sighed, feeling helpless, but to my surprise, my brother didn’t snap at me like I expected. Instead, he got out of the car and knelt down to check the engine, saying, “Let’s see what’s wrong.” Still trembling from the accident, I realized he was holding my hand. His palm was warm, and his grip was firm — a gesture I hadn’t felt from him in years. “It’s gonna be okay,” he said softly, his voice free of the usual irritation. We worked together for over an hour: he popped the hood and checked the wires, while I fetched tools from the trunk and held a flashlight for him. When the engine finally roared to life, we both laughed in relief. On the rest of the drive, we talked more — about our favorite childhood memories of playing in the mountains, about the things we’d missed while living apart. By the time we reached my university, the tension was gone. As I got out of the car, he hugged me and said, “Call me if you need anything.” That trip didn’t just get me to college; it brought my brother back to me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与曾是最好朋友的弟弟因父母离婚关系逐渐疏远、形同陌生人，多年后作者考上远方大学计划独自驾车前往，父母却安排弟弟陪同，两人虽不满仍一同出发，起初旅途充满沉默与争执。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“正当我以为这次旅行会令人难以忍受时，意想不到的事情发生了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和弟弟开车穿过一片偏僻的乡村时遇见鹿紧急停车后，车子无法启动的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“我还在因事故而颤抖，意识到他握着我的手。”可知，第二段可描写作者和弟弟共同修车并且找回往日亲情的过程。 2.续写线索：遇到鹿紧急刹车——车子启动不起来——弟弟安慰作者——聊天找回曾经的温暖——到达大学——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①迅速窜出：dart out/rush out ②盯，凝视：stare at/peer at ③消失：vanish/disappear 情绪类 ①令我惊讶的是：to my surprise/to my amazement ②柔和地：softly/mildly 【点睛】[高分句型1] We were driving through a remote stretch of countryside when a deer darted out from the woods.（when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] My heart raced as I stared at the deer, which stood frozen for a second before vanishing into the trees. （由as引导时间状语从句和关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] As I got out of the car, he hugged me and said, “Call me if you need anything.”（as引导的时间状语从句和if引导条件状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 重庆八中2025-2026学年度（上）高三年级第五次周考 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

These tropical gems are spread across the eastern Gulf of Thailand and the western Andaman Sea, each offering its own unique charm. If you’re pressed for time and unsure which islands to add to your itinerary, keep reading for our curated list of the most enchanting spots. 1. Phuket Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is also one of its most varied. It’s a place where you can meditate with monks in temples, party hard, laze on beaches, watch elephants, eat well — and more. Due to its size, it’s worth thinking carefully about where you’d like to stay. Cross into the neighboring province of Phang Nga and you’ll have even quieter beaches. 2. Koh Samui Smaller Koh Samui, in the Gulf of Thailand, has its best weather between February and September (November has a lot of rain, so head to Phuket if you’re travelling over that month). The island’s perimeter is lined with some of the most luxurious hotels in Thailand, including the Four Seasons, private island escapes and plenty of plush villas. 3. Koh Phangan It’s a short hop from Samui to Koh Phangan, an island which, despite its full-moon party fame, has a much sleepier atmosphere in between those monthly events. There are busy parts you’ll find the backpackers congregating around Haad Rin beach — but if you venture north to Haad Khom you’ll find quieter stretches of sand. 4. Koh Tao It’s a little bit more effort to reach Koh Tao from Samui — ferries are regular, but take just a bit longer. Those who make the effort are rewarded with a laid-back and traffic-free island with long golden beaches and competitive dive courses. There are plenty of bars on the beach for cheap green curries. 1. Which island is recommended for travelers visiting in November? A. Koh Tao. B. Koh Samui. C. Koh Phangan. D. Phuket. 2. What makes Koh Tao a worthwhile destination for visitors? A. Regular and fast ferry services from Samui. B. Luxurious hotels and private island escapes. C. Long golden beaches and competitive dive courses. D. Famous full-moon parties and lively backpacker areas. 3. What is the common theme among the islands? A. They are located in the Andaman Sea. B. They offer relaxation and unique experiences. C. They are all known for their full-moon parties. D. They are only accessible by private boats. B In the vast, untouched expanse of wilderness, Isla and her faithful golden retriever (猎犬), Finn danced in a harmony of souls. Together, they weaved through myriad terrains, from shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets to rugged mountain paths that touched the heavens. Their bond was not of mere circumstance, but of shared dreams. Isla sought quiet away from the urban noise, while every rustle and murmur of the wild ignited Finn’s spirit. One dusky evening of crimson and purple, an unexpected storm took them off guard. Raindrops, heavy with sorrow, transformed familiar trails into flowing streams, in a desperate bid for refuge. Isla was trapped by the fierce embrace of the currents. It was Finn’s instinctive courage that shone brightly in that moment of despair, as he moved forward suddenly, securing her backpack with a steadfast grip, drawing her back to safety’s shore. Nestled in a rocky embrace, they clung to each other against the storm’s fury. When the storm’s rage decreased, the world they knew was covered in unfamiliarity. For the first time, Isla felt the weight of disorientation. But Finn, with unwavering confidence, stepped forward, trusting his instincts to unveil the path ahead. As days melted into weeks, just when hope seemed a distant star, the embrace of a hidden village hugged them gently. Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend. But the wild’s temptation could not be ignored. Restored, the two partners ventured once more into the embrace of nature, carrying with them the blessings and hopes of newfound friends. Through the rich and colorful picture of their adventures, it became evident that their true strength was not in conquering the elements but in the unyielding bond they shared. The wild was but a stage for their eternal ballet of friendship and perseverance. 4. What connected Isla to Finn? A. The urban noise. B. Circumstance and shared dreams. C. The untouched expanse of wilderness. D. Shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets. 5. In paragraph 2, the underlined word “embrace” can be replaced by ________. A. control B. storm C. raindrop D. dusk 6. What were the villagers interested in? A. Finn’s confidence and intuition. B. Isla’s respect for nature. C. Isla and Finn’s exciting journey. D. The wild’s temptation. 7. Which of the following statements about Isla and Finn is true? A. Finn failed to pull Isla back to the safety of shore. B. The villagers wove Isla and Finn’s journey into local legend. C. Isla and Finn made their journeys based on a map or a compass. D. Isla and Finn’s real strength lied in conquering harsh environments. C The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid---we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink. However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴)native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water’s surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we，d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate w hitting. ’’ But fortunately there is an alternative : cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子）in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick Liquid of cornflour. Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink--and take a shower afterward! 8. Walking on water hasn’t become a reality mainly because humans______. A. are not interested in it B. have biological limitations C. have not invented proper tools D. are afraid to make an attempt 9. What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage? A. It is light enough to walk on water. B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water. C. It can run across water at a certain speed. D Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water. 10. What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage? A. To create a thick liquid. B. To turn the water into solid. C. To help the liquid behave normally. D. To enable the water to move rapidly. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water? A. It is risky but beneficial. B. It is interesting and worth trying. C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality. D. It is impractical though theoretically possible. D To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians have ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil. So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans. What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell. What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch. Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at here father’s house had been the “introduction of this wonderful new fruit--or is it a vegetable?” As late as the 20th century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an “evil fruit”. But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. “ What are you afraid of ?” he shouted. “I’ll show you fools that theses things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato.

When we were little, people would ask if we were twins. We lived in the mountains and only had each other for a long time, so we weren't just brother and sister, we were best friends. Everything changed after our parents divorced. He went to live with my father, I with my mother. Sometimes he visited us and sometimes I visited them, but we grew more distant each time. By the time I was thirteen, we'd stopped hanging out altogether. I think the only time we ever spoke was at Christmas, and it was all polite but painfully awkward, like he was a complete stranger instead of my little brother. Several years later, after being accepted to a major university three thousand miles away, I made a bold plan: to drive across the country on my own. The idea of traveling alone thrilled me, filling me with excitement and a hint of nervousness, though I knew that the road could be lonely and unpredictable — endless stretches without seeing a single person, and sometimes even wild animals crossing out of nowhere. My parents, however, thought it would be safer if my brother came along as my travel companion on the long drive to college. Needless to say, we were both furious (愤怒) about the idea. The last thing either of us wanted was to spend a week in a car together — he, with a sister he barely knew, and I, with a “babysitter” I never asked for. But it was settled. Two weeks later, we set off. For the first six hundred miles, neither of us spoke much unless absolutely necessary.The silence was thick with tension, and it didn't take long before we argued over what music to play, how fast to drive, and when to take breaks, each of us stubbornly sticking to our own way, rolling our eyes and sighing in frustration. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just when I thought the trip would be unbearable, something unexpected happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Still trembling from the accident, I realized he was holding my hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
