This is the column (栏目) where you can tell me what you would like to change about yourself. Welcome to leave your messages. Zhang YaoWhat I want to change about myself most is my attitude (态度) toward life. Sometimes, I take things too seriously. Once, I thought I did badly in an exam. I became very sad and lost confidence in any other exam. It turned out it was not as bad as I thought. I wish I could be happier about everything! Li JingI want to change my bad temper (脾气) most. I get angry too easily, and hurt the people I love. For example, when my mom cares about me, I often complain she talks too much. Sometimes, I even fight with her. But deep down, I know she loves me a lot. I shouldn’t behave like that. I really want to work on my temper and be kinder to the people I love. Wang DiThe only thing I am not pleased with about myself is my teeth. My front teeth are so big that they almost look like buckteeth (龅牙). When I take photos, I avoid giving big smiles.

I’ll always remember that day when I was so surprised by all the strange looks everyone was giving me. Those thoughts will always stay with me. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most. Five years back, Sally was the new kid in class. I don’t know what it was, but something special about her drew me to her. She was the friendliest person I had ever known. We started as classmates, but after a few months, we were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, telling everyone at school. It was like someone had stabbed (刺伤) me in the back. After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me, looking at me whenever I passed by! I had to change a school. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken. I tried hard to heal (治愈, 康复) from the pain she left on my heart. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna, my classmate from the third grade. She told me that it was Mary who brought my secrets to light. Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and fix my mistakes. From that, I learned a life lesson that we should trust those we love because one little mistake could really harm our lives. 34．Why did the writer think Sally hurt her? A．Because Sally didn’t want to be friends with the writer. B．Because Sally might spread the writer’s personal secrets. C．Because Sally laughed at the writer in front of others.

A．keep it to herself B．hate Sally all her life C．tell Mary about her secrets D．call Sally and say sorry to her 【答案】34．B 35．A 36．C 37．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在学校的一段经历，并从这段经历中明白了要信任自己所爱的人，因为一个小错误可能会造成真正的伤害。 34．细节理解题。根据“She made the matter bigger than it was, telling everyone at school.”可知，作者认为Sally将她的私事传播出去，导致她被嘲笑。故选B。 35．词句猜测题。根据“Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business.”可知，“big mouth”指喜欢打探并传播他人隐私的人。故选A。 36．推理判断题。根据“I wished I could have asked Sally about this.

The night before, you spend a lot of time thinking about the possible mistakes you might make and whether you are ready enough. Well, you might be overthinking. Overthinking means thinking about the same thing again and again, or worrying too much about even the simplest things. According to The Conversation, overthinking comes from one of our primitive instincts (原始本能) that always tries to keep us safe. It often makes us see things in a bad way and prepares us for something that might go wrong. Some people might think overthinking is helpful because it lets us see a problem from every possible side and get ready for what may happen. However, studies show that overthinking can make us feel nervous, stressed and unhappy. What’s more, overthinking might create problems with how you get along with others. As you always think the worst, make incorrect guesses or worry about every little thing others do and say, you might understand them in a wrong way. So instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can distract (转移注意力) yourself for a bit. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you are doing something fun, like gardening, or even while you are sleeping. Also, when you find yourself overthinking, challenge these thoughts. Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possible ways. It can be hard at first, but once you notice you are overthinking, it can help you make a change. 38．At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________. A．telling a story B．giving an example C．answering a question D．showing a fact 39．According to the passage, why does overthinking often make us see things in a bad way? A．Because we don’t have enough time. B．Because our brain wants to keep us safe. C．Because people around us often make us nervous. D．Because we don’t know how to make the right plan. 40．What should you do when you find yourself overthinking? A．Ask others to make decisions for you. B．Keep thinking until you find the answer. C．Write down everything you are worried about. D．Challenge your thoughts and do something fun. 41．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．How to prepare a speech well. B．Why people like overthinking. C．What overthinking is and how to deal with it. D．How to get along with others. 【答案】38．B 39．B 40．D 41．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了“过度思考”的概念、成因、负面影响及应对方法。 38．细节理解题。根据“Imagine you are going to give a speech the next day. The night before, you spend a lot of time thinking about the possible mistakes you might make and whether you are ready enough.”可知，这是通过一个具体的日常情境例子引入话题。故选B。 39．细节理解题。根据“According to The Conversation, overthinking comes from one of our primitive instincts that always tries to keep us safe.”可知，过度思考源于我们想要自我保护的本能。故选B。 40．细节理解题。根据“Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you are doing something fun…”和“Also, when you find yourself overthinking, challenge these thoughts.”可知，应对方法是做有趣的事并质疑这些想法。故选D。 41．主旨大意题。全文围绕“过度思考”展开，先解释其定义和成因，再说明负面影响，最后给出应对建议，C项“什么是过度思考及如何应对”全面概括了文章内容。故选C。 D Do you think you’re a good listener? Most people would say yes. But studies show that most people seriously overestimate (高估) their ability to listen. The truth is, we are generally not good at listening, and our listening comprehension (理解力) drops as we grow old. Why aren’t we good at listening? One reason is that we think at a certain speed. The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute. This means a person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks during a conversation. Therefore, we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us. Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers (障碍) that stop you from careful listening. Another reason that leads to our poor listening is our ever-decreasing (持续减少) attention span (持续时间). According to the study by Microsoft, in 2000, the average (平均) human attention span was 12 seconds. In 2013, it was only 8 seconds: Our mobile phones often distract us, which can have a bad influence on our listening. Test results have shown that being stopped by a smartphone lower listening ability by 20 percent. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice. For example, learning to watch a speaker’s body language and feelings carefully can improve our active listening. Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact (接触)can help us stay focused while listening. ▲ When you listen well, you learn better and remember more, which can help you in school and with your friends. It also builds trust and makes others feel respected, encouraging them to share ideas and feelings more openly—just like how workers feel more valued when their bosses listen to them. Good listeners often become better leaders and teammates because they understand people deeply. Most importantly, listening connects us to one another. As Dr. Ralph Nichols once said, “The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.” 42．According to the passage, why does the brain’s speed stop us from listening carefully? A．It causes people to speak too quickly. B．It reduces the ability to remember details. C．It stops connecting feelings with the speaker. D．It allows the mind to pay attention to other thoughts. 43．What does the underlined word “distract” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Change one’s mind. B．Develop one’s interest. C．Take one’s attention away. D．Influence one’s health. 44．Which of the following can be put ▲ ? A．How can we improve our communication skills? B．Listening is much harder than it seems. C．There are many advantages (好处) of listening. D．Being a good listener requires practice. 45．What is the main purpose (目的) of the passage? A．To prove listening skills are unchangeable. B．To describe the influence of phones on people. C．To give reasons for poor listening and ways to solve it. D．To compare listening abilities among different ages. 【答案】42．D 43．C 44．C 45．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，探讨了大多数人高估自身倾听能力的原因，分析大脑处理速度与注意力持续时间对倾听的影响，并提出改善方法，最后强调倾听带来的多重益处。 42．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute... Therefore, we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us.”可知，大脑处理速度远超说话速度，导致思维容易游离至其他事物。选项D“允许大脑关注其他想法”准确对应这一机制，故选D。 43．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Our mobile phones often distract us, which can have a bad influence on our listening. Test results have shown that being stopped by a smartphone lower listening ability by 20 percent.”可知，我们的手机经常会……我们，这会对我们的听力产生不良影响。测试结果表明，被智能手机打断会使听力能力降低20%。由此可推测，手机会分散我们的注意力，从而影响我们的听力。所以“distract”的意思是“转移某人的注意力”。故选C。 44．推理判断题。根据下文“When you listen well, you learn better and remember more, which can help you in school and with your friends. It also builds trust and makes others feel respected, encouraging them to share ideas and feelings more openly...Most importantly, listening connects us to one another.”可知，当你倾听得好时，你会学得更好，记得更多，这可以在学校和与朋友相处时帮助你；它还能建立信任，让他人感到被尊重，鼓励他们更开放地分享想法和感受……最重要的是，倾听将我们彼此连接起来。由此可推测，此处是在介绍倾听的好处。选项C“倾听有很多好处。”符合语境。故选C。 45．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But studies show that most people seriously overestimate (高估) their ability to listen.”以及第二段中“Why aren’t we good at listening?”和第三段“Another reason that leads to our poor listening is our ever-decreasing (持续减少) attention span (持续时间).”可知，文章首先指出人们高估了自己的倾听能力，然后分析了不擅长倾听的原因，包括大脑处理速度与说话速度的差异、注意力持续时间的减少等。接着，文章提出了通过实践来提高倾听技能的方法，如观察说话者的肢体语言和情感、做笔记、保持眼神交流等。最后，文章强调了倾听的诸多好处。由此可知，文章的主要目的是给出倾听不好的原因以及解决方法。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共60分) 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 46．How long has he the book? (借) 【答案】kept 【详解】句意：这本书他能借多久？根据“How long”可知，此处应使用延续性动词，需用延续性动词是keep来表示“借”这个动作，句子为现在完成时，keep要用过去分词形式kept。故填kept。 47．Jane likes visiting gardens in Yangzhou, in spring. (尤其) 【答案】especially 【详解】句意：简喜欢游览扬州的园林，尤其是在春天。尤其：especially，故填especially。 48．The manager is showing those around the factory. (德国人) 【答案】Germans 【详解】句意：经理正带那些德国人参观工厂。根据英文句子及汉语提示词可知，those“这些”，后面接名词复数形式，German“德国人”，可数名词。故填Germans。 49．To reduce pollution, they use plastic shopping bags than before. (少) 【答案】fewer 【详解】句意：为了减少污染，他们使用的塑料购物袋比以前更少了。根据“than”可知，此处是比较级，句中比较的对象plastic shopping bags是可数名词复数，空处应填修饰可数名词的few“少”的比较级形式fewer“更少的”。故填fewer。 50．I suggest the meeting so that we’ll have more time for our project. (取消) 【答案】cancelling 【详解】句意：我建议取消会议，这样我们就有更多的时间进行我们的项目。根据英文句子及汉语提示词可知，cancel“取消”，动词；suggest doing sth.“建议做某事”，动词短语。故填cancelling。 51．I have promised that I would keep the secret to .

(fall) 【答案】falls 【详解】句意：端午节在每年农历五月初五。Dragon Boat Festival是单数，表示一个节日；fall在这里意为“节日等落在某一天”。根据“every year”可知，句子时态是一般现在时，主语是单数，所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。故填falls。 55．They have just returned from faraway places with stories to tell. (wonder) 【答案】wonderful 【详解】句意：他们刚从遥远的地方回来，有精彩的故事要讲。wonder“奇迹；奇观”，此处用其形容词形式wonderful“精彩的，绝妙的”修饰名词stories。故填wonderful。 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（不超过8个词） In December, China’s immigration (移民) department introduced new policies (政策) to make it easier for foreigners to visit the country. However, there are still some problems that need to be fixed to make their stay more comfortable. 1 Limited Homestay Choices Homestays allow travelers to stay in local homes instead of hotels. They are very popular in many countries because they are cheaper and let visitors experience local culture. However, there are not many homestays available to foreigners in China. The government should encourage more people to open their homes to travelers. 2 Payment Problems China is now a cashless society. Most people pay by scanning QR codes with their mobile phones instead of in cash. But in many other countries, digital (数字的) payments are not common. So foreigners often find it difficult to pay for things in China. The government has tried to help by allowing them to use credit cards, but the process is still not smooth. Many foreigners have difficulty paying for buses, trains, restaurants, hotels, and tourist attractions. 3 Language Barriers Although around 200 million Chinese people know some English or other foreign languages, communication is still difficult for visitors. In many places, English signs contain mistakes, which can be confusing or even funny. The government should launch a campaign to correct these errors. Also, service staff, such as police officers, taxi and bus drivers, and shop assistants lack foreign language training. They should receive relevant training, so that they can be more of help to foreign visitors. 4 Public Toilets Need Improvements China has more than 500,000 public toilets, and they are usually free. However, public toilets often lack hygiene facilities (卫生设施). So, the government needs to make them cleaner and put up signs in different languages. China has made great progress in making the country more welcoming to foreign visitors. But we still need to do more to make China a foreign visitor friendly country. 56．Why are homestays popular in many other countries? 57．How can the government make more homestays available in China? 58．What payment difficulty do foreigners have in China? 59．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)? 60．What suggestions can you give to make China more attractive? 【答案】56．Because they’re cheaper and let visitors experience local culture. 57．By encouraging more people to open their homes to travelers. 58．They often find it difficult to pay for things. / Paying for buses, trains, restaurants, hotels, and tourist attractions. 59．The service staff who/that lack foreign language training. 60．We should improve homestays, payments, language, toilets. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国为吸引外国游客推出的新移民政策及仍需改进的四大问题（民宿选择少、支付障碍、语言壁垒、公厕设施）。 56．根据“Homestays...because they are cheaper and let visitors experience local culture.”可知，民宿在许多国家很受欢迎，因为它们通常更便宜，让游客体验当地文化。故填Because they’re cheaper and let visitors experience local culture. 57．根据“The government should encourage more people to open their homes to travelers.”可知，政府可以通过鼓励更多的人向游客敞开家门来让更多的民宿在中国出现。故填By encouraging more people to open their homes to travelers. 58．根据“But in many other countries, digital (数字的) payments are not common. So foreigners often find it difficult to pay for things in China.”以及“Many foreigners have difficulty paying for buses, trains, restaurants, hotels, and tourist attractions.”可知，支付困难源于外国游客不熟悉中国数字支付，许多外国游客在公交车、火车、饭店、酒店和旅游景点支付方面有困难。故填They often find it difficult to pay for things. / Paying for buses, trains, restaurants, hotels, and tourist attractions. 59．根据“service staff, such as police officers, taxi and bus drivers, and shop assistants lack foreign language training.”可知，“they”指代前文提到的这些服务人员。故填The service staff who/that lack foreign language training. 60．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为We should improve homestays, payments, language, toilets. 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词） I have always loved sports.

These shared moments in paying sports become s 67 that we tell with laughter years later. “Remember the time we lost to that team, but our coach made us run laps instead of letting us go home?” Those stories aren’t just about victories, they’re about the j 68 you took together. Whether we win or lose, the support from our teammates and competitors make the journey worthwhile. Sports teach i 69 lessons about hard work, and personal growth and development-character building. They also teach us h 70 to deal with both victories and defeats (失败) beautifully. Sometimes, one learns more from defeat than from victory. These lessons that we can apply to our lives. 【答案】 61．(w)hen 62．(s)omething 63．(w)atching 64．(p)ride 65．(e)xperience 66．(t)ruly 67．(s)tories 68．(j)ourney 69．(i)mportant/(i)nvaluable 70．(h)ow 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者热爱运动，以及运动在其生活中扮演的重要角色，包括带来竞争感、成就感，促进人际交往，还能传授关于努力、成长等方面的经验教训。 61．句意：我记得在小学时参加足球队选拔，当我入选时感到非常自豪。根据“I remember trying...I made it.”及首字母提示可知，空处需填引导时间状语从句的连词，when表示“当……的时候”。故填(w)hen。 62．句意：我喜欢竞争以及努力去实现某事的感觉。根据“I love the feeling...to achieve...”及首字母提示可知，空处需填表示“某事”的不定代词，即something。故填(s)omething。 63．句意：当我在进行或观看一项运动时，我觉得一切皆有可能。根据“When I am playing...is possible.”及首字母提示可知，空处与 playing并列，应是填表示“观看”的动词-ing 形式，即watching。故填(w)atching。 64．句意：获胜确实给我满足感，一种我的努力得到回报的自豪感。根据“Winning does give...has paid off.”及首字母提示可知，空处需填表示“自豪”的名词pride。故填(p)ride。 65．句意：关注一名运动员、一支队伍或一场比赛能让我们体验起起落落，就像在现实生活中一样。根据“Following a player...like in real life.”及首字母提示可知，空处需填experience表示“体验”，空前有to，用动词原形。故填(e)xperience。 66．句意：真正重要的是我们在这个过程中交到的朋友。根据“What...matters are...along the way.”及首字母提示可知，空处需填修饰动词matters的副词truly，表示“真正地”。故填(t)ruly。 67．句意：这些在体育运动中共享的时刻成了日后我们笑着讲述的故事。根据“These shared moments...laughter years later.”及首字母提示可知，空处需填表示“故事”的名词story，因故事不只一个，应用复数形式stories。故填(s)tories。 68．句意：那些故事不只是关于胜利，它们是关于你们一起走过的旅程。根据“Those stories aren’t... you took together.”及首字母提示可知，空处需填表示“旅程”的名词journey。故填(j)ourney。 69．句意：运动教会我们关于努力、个人成长和发展 —— 品格塑造的重要/宝贵课程 。根据“Sports teach...development-character building.”及首字母提示可知，空处需填important表示“重要的”，或填invaluable表示“宝贵的”。故填(i)mportant/(i)nvaluable。 70．句意：它们还教会我们如何优雅地应对胜利和失败 。根据“They also teach....beautifully.”及首字母提示可知，空处需填表示“如何”的疑问词how。故填(h)ow。 七、书面表达（计30分） A. 句子翻译（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡标有题号的横线 71．除非你有地图，否则在扬州很容易迷路。 【答案】You will get lost easily in Yangzhou unless you have a map./Unless you have a map, you will get lost easily in Yangzhou. 【详解】除非：unless；你：you；有：have；地图：map；在扬州：in Yangzhou；很容易迷路：get lost easily。此处是unless引导的条件状语从句，从句可置于句尾，也可置于句首；遵循“主将从现”原则，主句的结构是：will+动词原形，从句的主语you要与动词原形连用，所以从句的谓语动词have保持原形；此处泛指“一幅地图”，且map以辅音音素开头，所以此处应用a map。故填You will get lost easily in Yangzhou unless you have a map./Unless you have a map, you will get lost easily in Yangzhou. 72．他太激动了，不能清楚地表达自己。 【答案】He is/was too excited to express himself clearly. 【详解】太……而不能……：too...to...；清楚地表达自己：express oneself clearly；感到激动的：excited。结合语境和句意可知，此处为一般现在时，或者一般过去时，主语为第三人称单数he，所以be动词用is/was。故填He is/was too excited to express himself clearly. 73．坐公交车去机场会花费很长时间吗？ 【答案】Does/Will it take a long time to take a bus to the airport/go to the airport by bus? 【详解】分析句子可知，此句为一般疑问句，句型为it takes+时间+to do sth，表示“做某事花费多长时间”；take a bus/by bus“坐公交车”；go to the airport“去机场”；a long time“很长时间”，此句可以用一般现在时或一般将来时，主语是it，一般现在时的一般疑问句需要借助助动词does，一般将来时的一般疑问句用助动词will。故填Does/Will it take a long time to take a bus to the airport/go to the airport by bus? 74．对于学生们来说，每天在学校锻炼至少一小时是很有必要的。 【答案】It’s necessary for students to exercise for at least one hour at school every day. 【详解】对于学生们来说做某事是很有必要的It’s necessary for students to do sth，每天every day，在学校at school，锻炼至少一小时exercise for at least one hour。故填It’s necessary for students to exercise for at least one hour at school every day. 75．我不能理解为什么他们对孩子们如此严格。 【答案】I can’t/couldn’t understand why they are/were so strict with the children. 【详解】我不能理解：I can’t/couldn’t understand；为什么：why；他们：they；对某人如此严格：be so strict with sb，be用are/were均可；孩子们：the children，故填I can’t/couldn’t understand why they are/were so strict with the children.

To relieve emotions, I prefer _________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Possible version 1: Sometimes I feel down because of some trouble. To relieve emotions, I prefer to talk about it with my family. As a teenager, I believe talking to family is the best way to improve emotions. Their love and understanding always give me hope. Two weeks ago, I cried after failing in a history exam. Instead of blaming me, Mom hugged me and said, “Never give up and I believe you can do better next time”. Her words made me feel safe and hopeful. I cheered up again and worked harder at my weak subjects. Family members care us most in the world. We can always trust them.Possible version 2: Sometimes I feel down because of some trouble. To relieve emotions, I prefer to do some outdoor activities to cheer up. I find walking outdoors is a good way to relax myself. When I’m in nature, it always brings me peace. Last month, I tried to solve a math problem but failed. It made me down. My mom advised me to take a walk in the park. When I walked in the park, breathing fresh air, I felt better soon. I returned home feeling relaxed and later studied with a clearer mind. Outdoor activities can not only reduce stress but also show us the beauty of the world. Let’s go outside and be energetic enough to take on new challenges!Possible version 3: Sometimes I feel down because of some trouble. To relieve emotions, I prefer to keep diaries. When I meet some problems, I always turn to my diary. It’s like a silent friend and I can tell anything. Last term, I didn’t do well in an English exam. I felt too bad to talk about it with others. That night, I wrote all my worries in my diary. The more I wrote, the better I felt. Since then, diary has been my close friend and taken all my worries away. Writing can help us feel less stressed and reduce our bad emotions. What’s more, it offers us a chance to talk with ourselves.

Deng has a great 20 in history. “My family is from Xi’an, and I 21 visiting historical places and museums during every trip,” Deng shared. However, Deng noticed that many of her classmates were not as interested as she was in 22 about cultural heritage (遗产). When she 23 that, she thought of a course to make it fun for students. In this course, students can learn about opera masks (面具) in group 24 . They gather and share information. It’s a theme from Zhang’s book. They can 25 and show their own masks. What’s more, students can research traditional festivals like Qingming, choosing a favorite festival 26 , such as qingtuan. They can prepare this dish at home to share it with their classmates. She received a lot of 27 reviews (评论) from the students who joined her class. Her lesson “offered a lot of information that can be 28 understood with hands-on (实际操作的) learning,” said Du La, a Senior 2 student. Deng’s work was even highly thought of by school teachers, who invited her to teach in the school’s cultural and creative club. “To 29 students’ creativity,” said Gao Jun, director of the school’s science education center, “we are supposed to help and support them 30 .

This is the column (栏目) where you can tell me what you would like to change about yourself. Welcome to leave your messages. Zhang YaoWhat I want to change about myself most is my attitude (态度) toward life. Sometimes, I take things too seriously. Once, I thought I did badly in an exam. I became very sad and lost confidence in any other exam. It turned out it was not as bad as I thought. I wish I could be happier about everything! Li JingI want to change my bad temper (脾气) most. I get angry too easily, and hurt the people I love. For example, when my mom cares about me, I often complain she talks too much. Sometimes, I even fight with her. But deep down, I know she loves me a lot. I shouldn’t behave like that. I really want to work on my temper and be kinder to the people I love. Wang DiThe only thing I am not pleased with about myself is my teeth. My front teeth are so big that they almost look like buckteeth (龅牙). When I take photos, I avoid giving big smiles. I am also afraid that my classmates will laugh at me. If I had smaller teeth like other people, I would be very happy. 31．Who gets the most likes? A．Patrick Williams. B．Zhang Yao. C．Li Jing. D．Wang Di. 32．What is Li Jing’s problem? A．She gets along well with her mother. B．She is afraid of fighting with others. C．She cannot control her bad temper. D．She doesn’t know how to refuse others. 33．Which of these would be a proper message you can leave for Wang Di? A．“Stop worrying about something that won’t happen.” B．“Show love and respect to those who truly care about you.” C．“Your kindness and talents matter more than appearance.” D．“Try to support others and share happy moments with them.” B “Why did she spill the beans?” I wondered. I’ll always remember that day when I was so surprised by all the strange looks everyone was giving me. Those thoughts will always stay with me. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most. Five years back, Sally was the new kid in class. I don’t know what it was, but something special about her drew me to her. She was the friendliest person I had ever known. We started as classmates, but after a few months, we were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, telling everyone at school. It was like someone had stabbed (刺伤) me in the back. After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me, looking at me whenever I passed by! I had to change a school. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken. I tried hard to heal (治愈, 康复) from the pain she left on my heart. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna, my classmate from the third grade. She told me that it was Mary who brought my secrets to light. Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and fix my mistakes. From that, I learned a life lesson that we should trust those we love because one little mistake could really harm our lives. 34．Why did the writer think Sally hurt her? A．Because Sally didn’t want to be friends with the writer. B．Because Sally might spread the writer’s personal secrets. C．Because Sally laughed at the writer in front of others. D．Because Sally asked the writer to change the school 35．The underlined phrase “big mouth” in Paragraph 4 refers to a person who ________. A．likes talking a lot, and who cannot keep secrets B．does something harmful to somebody who you trust C．would like to tell people about her own secret information D．tries to remember everything that makes her worried 36．How did the writer feel when she found out the truth? A．Angry. B．Hurt. C．Regretful. D．Nervous. 37．From the last paragraph, we can infer the writer will be most likely to ________ later. A．keep it to herself B．hate Sally all her life C．tell Mary about her secrets D．call Sally and say sorry to her C Imagine you are going to give a speech the next day. The night before, you spend a lot of time thinking about the possible mistakes you might make and whether you are ready enough. Well, you might be overthinking. Overthinking means thinking about the same thing again and again, or worrying too much about even the simplest things. According to The Conversation, overthinking comes from one of our primitive instincts (原始本能) that always tries to keep us safe. It often makes us see things in a bad way and prepares us for something that might go wrong. Some people might think overthinking is helpful because it lets us see a problem from every possible side and get ready for what may happen. However, studies show that overthinking can make us feel nervous, stressed and unhappy. What’s more, overthinking might create problems with how you get along with others. As you always think the worst, make incorrect guesses or worry about every little thing others do and say, you might understand them in a wrong way. So instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can distract (转移注意力) yourself for a bit. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you are doing something fun, like gardening, or even while you are sleeping. Also, when you find yourself overthinking, challenge these thoughts. Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possible ways. It can be hard at first, but once you notice you are overthinking, it can help you make a change. 38．At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________. A．telling a story B．giving an example C．answering a question D．showing a fact 39．According to the passage, why does overthinking often make us see things in a bad way? A．Because we don’t have enough time. B．Because our brain wants to keep us safe. C．Because people around us often make us nervous. D．Because we don’t know how to make the right plan. 40．What should you do when you find yourself overthinking? A．Ask others to make decisions for you. B．Keep thinking until you find the answer. C．Write down everything you are worried about. D．Challenge your thoughts and do something fun. 41．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．How to prepare a speech well. B．Why people like overthinking. C．What overthinking is and how to deal with it. D．How to get along with others. D Do you think you’re a good listener? Most people would say yes. But studies show that most people seriously overestimate (高估) their ability to listen. The truth is, we are generally not good at listening, and our listening comprehension (理解力) drops as we grow old. Why aren’t we good at listening? One reason is that we think at a certain speed. The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute. This means a person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks during a conversation. Therefore, we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us. Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers (障碍) that stop you from careful listening. Another reason that leads to our poor listening is our ever-decreasing (持续减少) attention span (持续时间). According to the study by Microsoft, in 2000, the average (平均) human attention span was 12 seconds. In 2013, it was only 8 seconds: Our mobile phones often distract us, which can have a bad influence on our listening. Test results have shown that being stopped by a smartphone lower listening ability by 20 percent. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice. For example, learning to watch a speaker’s body language and feelings carefully can improve our active listening. Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact (接触)can help us stay focused while listening. ▲ When you listen well, you learn better and remember more, which can help you in school and with your friends. It also builds trust and makes others feel respected, encouraging them to share ideas and feelings more openly—just like how workers feel more valued when their bosses listen to them. Good listeners often become better leaders and teammates because they understand people deeply. Most importantly, listening connects us to one another. As Dr. Ralph Nichols once said, “The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.” 42．According to the passage, why does the brain’s speed stop us from listening carefully? A．It causes people to speak too quickly.

However, there are still some problems that need to be fixed to make their stay more comfortable. 1 Limited Homestay Choices Homestays allow travelers to stay in local homes instead of hotels. They are very popular in many countries because they are cheaper and let visitors experience local culture. However, there are not many homestays available to foreigners in China. The government should encourage more people to open their homes to travelers. 2 Payment Problems China is now a cashless society. Most people pay by scanning QR codes with their mobile phones instead of in cash. But in many other countries, digital (数字的) payments are not common. So foreigners often find it difficult to pay for things in China. The government has tried to help by allowing them to use credit cards, but the process is still not smooth. Many foreigners have difficulty paying for buses, trains, restaurants, hotels, and tourist attractions. 3 Language Barriers Although around 200 million Chinese people know some English or other foreign languages, communication is still difficult for visitors. In many places, English signs contain mistakes, which can be confusing or even funny. The government should launch a campaign to correct these errors. Also, service staff, such as police officers, taxi and bus drivers, and shop assistants lack foreign language training. They should receive relevant training, so that they can be more of help to foreign visitors. 4 Public Toilets Need Improvements China has more than 500,000 public toilets, and they are usually free. However, public toilets often lack hygiene facilities (卫生设施). So, the government needs to make them cleaner and put up signs in different languages. China has made great progress in making the country more welcoming to foreign visitors. But we still need to do more to make China a foreign visitor friendly country. 56．Why are homestays popular in many other countries? 57．How can the government make more homestays available in China? 58．What payment difficulty do foreigners have in China? 59．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)? 60．What suggestions can you give to make China more attractive? 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词） I have always loved sports. As a child, I loved playing outside with my friends and trying new things. I remember trying out for the soccer team in elementary school and feeling so proud w 61 I made it. Sports have always been a huge part of my life. I love the feeling of competition and working hard to achieve s 62 . When I am playing or w 63 a sport, I feel like anything is possible. Winning does give me satisfaction, a sense of p 64 that my hard work has paid off. Even watching my team win feels good. Following a player, team or game allows us to e 65 ups and downs, just like in real life. In the game of life, it’s not always about winning. What t 66 matters are the friends we make along the way. Sports have the ability to bring people together and create lifelong relationships. I have met some of my best friends through playing sports. These shared moments in paying sports become s 67 that we tell with laughter years later. “Remember the time we lost to that team, but our coach made us run laps instead of letting us go home?” Those stories aren’t just about victories, they’re about the j 68 you took together. Whether we win or lose, the support from our teammates and competitors make the journey worthwhile. Sports teach i 69 lessons about hard work, and personal growth and development-character building. They also teach us h 70 to deal with both victories and defeats (失败) beautifully. Sometimes, one learns more from defeat than from victory. These lessons that we can apply to our lives. 七、书面表达（计30分） A. 句子翻译（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡标有题号的横线 71．除非你有地图，否则在扬州很容易迷路。 72．他太激动了，不能清楚地表达自己。 73．坐公交车去机场会花费很长时间吗？ 74．对于学生们来说，每天在学校锻炼至少一小时是很有必要的。 75．我不能理解为什么他们对孩子们如此严格。 B. 写作（计20分） 76．作为中学生，我们在学习与生活中不可避免地会出现情绪低落，这时候需要合理地进行自我调适。你校心理健康社团 (Sunshine Club) 就如何缓解情绪 (How to relieve emotions) 组织了一次问卷调查，结果显示同学们常用的三种缓解情绪方法包括：(1)向家人或好友倾诉：(2)到户外走走；(3)写日记。 这三种方式，你会选择哪一种？或者你还有什么其他的调适方法？请以此为题，写一篇英文作文，说明你的选择或介绍自己缓解情绪的方法，并结合自己相应的经历解释原因。 要求： （1）不少于100词，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 （2）语句通顺，意思连贯，条理清楚，字迹工整。 （3）内容必须包括以上所有要点，并根据要求补充完整。 （4）文中不得出现真实姓名及学校名称。 Sometimes I feel down because of some trouble.
