A. as good as B. as well as C. better than D. worse than 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：经过两周的辛苦劳动，我们的后院几乎像一个专业的农场，整洁而充满生机。 考查短语辨析。as good as几乎，差不多；as well as和……一样好，以及；better than比……更好；worse than比……更差。根据“neat and full of life”可知，后院被整理得整洁有生机，接近专业农场的水平，强调程度相当，而非比较。故选A。 2. ________ an actor, Jackson Yee ________ awards for his drama series. A. Like; is known for winning B. Like; is known as winning C. As; is known as winning D. As; is known for winning 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：作为一名演员，易烊千玺因赢得电视剧奖项而闻名。 考查介词辨析及形容词短语。Like像，be known for winning因赢得……而闻名，后接原因或成就；As作为……；be known as winning搭配错误，后接身份或称号。根据“...an actor”，易烊千玺本身就是演员，应选用“As”；根据“Jackson Yee...awards for his drama series.”可知，此处指易烊千玺因赢得电视剧奖项而闻名。故选D。 3. —Would you please give this magazine to Sandy? —Of course. I’ll give it to her ________ she comes back. A. before B. till C. as soon as D. until 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——请你把这本杂志给桑迪好吗？——当然。她一回来我就给她。 考查连词辨析。before在……之前；till直到……为止；as soon as一……就……；until直到……为止。根据语境，答话人承诺在桑迪回来时立即把杂志给她，强调动作的紧急性，应选用“as soon as”表示“一……就……”。故选C。 4. As a language learner, you’d better develop a great understanding of foreign cultures. For instance, a lady in the UK doesn’t like to be asked ________. A. what’s her name B. how much she weighs C. whether she had been married D. where she came from 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：作为一名语言学习者，你最好深入了解外国文化。例如，在英国，女士不喜欢被问体重。 考查文化常识及宾语从句。宾语从句需用陈述语序，排除A；主句是一般现在时，C选项时态有误，询问婚姻状况通常用一般现在时或现在完成时；D选项时态也有误，一般询问某人来自哪里，会用一般现在时。根据英国文化常识，询问女士体重是不礼貌的，因此B项“她多重”符合语境。故选B。 5. Without exception, ________ is required to show their Jiangsu Health Code before entering either the hospital or the shopping mall. A. everything B. nothing C. everybody D. nobody 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：毫无例外，每个人在进入医院或商场前都需要出示他们的江苏健康码。 考查不定代词辨析。everything一切事物；nothing没有东西；everybody每个人；nobody没有人。根据“required to show their Jiangsu Health Code before entering either the hospital or the shopping mall”可知，此处主语是人，指“每个人”都需要这样做。故选C。 6.

A. shape B. share C. sharp D. shame 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：毫无疑问，这次有意义的经历将有助于塑造他们的性格，并教会他们努力工作的价值。 考查词义辨析。shape塑造；share分享；sharp锋利的（形容词）；shame使羞愧。根据“help…their character”可知，此处表达的是“塑造性格”，需用动词shape“塑造”。故选A。 7. —What do you think of the movie Creation of the Dead to Rights (《南京照相馆》)? —It made me feel sad and angry about the war, but also hopeful because of the kind people in the movie. We ________ praise it too much. A. can B. should C. can’t D. shouldn’t 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得电影《南京照相馆》怎么样？——它让我对战争感到悲伤和愤怒，但也因为电影中善良的人们而感到充满希望。我们怎么称赞它都不为过。 考查情态动词辨析及固定表达。can能够；should应该；can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该。根据前文“It made me feel sad and angry...but also hopeful”可知电影非常感人，后句表达“我们再怎么赞扬它也不为过”，can’t...too much是固定结构，意为“再……也不为过”，符合句意。故选C。 8. The youth worker has devoted all her time she had ________ those teenage students who suffer stress. A. help B. to helping C. helping D. helped 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位青年工作者把她所有的时间都用来帮助那些承受压力的青少年学生。 考查固定搭配与非谓语动词（动名词）的用法。help帮助，动词原形；to helping介词to + 动名词helping；helping动名词/现在分词；helped过去式/过去分词。devote time to doing sth.意为“把时间用于做某事”，其中to是介词，后接动名词。故选B。 9. —Do you like these presents for your birthday, Millie? —Well, ________ this sweater ________ that one fits me.

But keep in mind that ________. A. where there is a will, there is a way B. out of sight, out of mind C. every dog has its day D. the grass is always greener on the other side 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——城市生活似乎比乡村生活更好。——也许吧。但要记住：这山望着那山高。 考查谚语理解。where there is a will, there is a way有志者事竟成；out of sight, out of mind眼不见，心不烦；every dog has its day凡人皆有得意时；the grass is always greener on the other side这山望着那山高。根据前文“城市生活似乎比乡村更好”的对比语境，后者用“But”转折提醒对方可能只是觉得不属于自己的地方看起来更好，符合“the grass is always greener on the other side”的含义。故选D。 II. 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 Dr Joseph Dituri, widely recognized as “Dr Deep Sea”, has just finished a great ____11____.

Many Chinese words use direction words, and there’s a lot of history and culture behind them. up down We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to (指代) directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. left right Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to (与……有关联) being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs (信念), we still say they are following △. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for higher position than “left”. For example, the character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 26. What is the writer’s purpose to use shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo in the first paragraph? A. To tell a story B. To introduce the topic. C. To give an example. D. To tell the difference between shang and xia. 27. Which of the following can be best put in ________? A. Pangmenzuodao B. shangguanxiatiao C. qishangmanxia D. zuosiyouxiang 28. Which picture shows the layout of houses in ancient China according to the passage? A. B. C. D. 29. According to the passage, why was “left” associated with being “different” in ancient China? A. Because most people were right-handed. B. Because ancient people liked using their left hands. C. Because “left” means south. D. Because “left” means north. 【答案】26. B 27. A 28. B 29. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了汉语中包含方向的词语背后的历史文化内涵。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Have you ever wondered why we say…and there's a lot of history and culture behind them.”可知，作者用“上厕所”和“意见相左”这两个例子，是为了引出“汉语中很多词使用方向词，背后有丰富历史文化”这一主题。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据“So in ancient China, ‘left’ was related to being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo.”可知，“左”通常表示与别人意见不一致，选项A“旁门左道”符合语境。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In ancient times, houses were laid out in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part.”可知，中国古代房子的布局是：房子的大门朝南，浴室在房子的东北部，厨房在东南部。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, ‘left’ was related to being different”可知，古今大多数人都是右撇子，用左手做事会感到不适，因此古代中国的“左”和“与众不同”关联在一起，故选A。 B Later in the summer, Tom decided to go digging for buried (埋藏) treasure. He found Huck and told him all about the places that robbers hid their treasure and a treasure map. One day, they decided they would start digging under a dead tree near the haunted house. They talked about what they would do with their treasure. Huck said he would spend his treasure so his father couldn’t get any of it. They dug for a while, and then gave up and tried another place. There was no treasure there, either. Tom realized they should return at midnight to dig again. As a result, the boys failed to find treasure that night. Finally they both agreed that the next day they would dig in the haunted house, and Huck believed they were taking chances to get treasure if they did. They met again with their tools and went to the haunted house. They explored the downstairs. As they were getting ready to leave, they heard two men coming to the door of the house. Scared, the boys hid themselves upstairs to see who they were. They recognized one man. It was Injun Joe! The unknown man was saying something dangerous. Tom and Huck were scared to death, so they stayed quiet. The men were talking about some “work” that the unknown man believed to be too dangerous. Tom and Huck couldn’t believe they were watching real robbers bury treasure! It included thousands of dollars in gold and treasure. The men wanted to bury all their treasure again when Injun Joe started wondering why there were some tools in the house. Surely someone was there, he decided to hide the money somewhere else. He then started looking around the house for the owners of the tools. He was almost up the stairs when the bad wood broke and he fell down. Then the boys walked home quickly. 30.

Which of the following words best describes the two boys’ feeling in the last paragraph? A. Sad. B. Afraid. C. Curious. D. Bored. 【答案】30. A 31. A 32. C 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自冒险故事《汤姆·索亚历险记》，讲述了汤姆和哈克想要挖掘埋藏的宝藏，先是在枯树下挖掘无果，之后去鬼屋寻宝时，意外撞见印第安・乔等两名劫匪埋藏金银财宝。两人吓得躲在楼上，目睹劫匪发现屋里的工具后，决定转移宝藏并寻找工具主人，最终在劫匪差点发现他们之前，迅速逃离鬼屋的经历。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“They talked about what they would do with their treasure. Huck said he would spend his treasure so his father couldn’t get any of it.”可知，前一句提到两人讨论如何处理宝藏，后一句哈克说要把自己的那份花掉，这样父亲就得不到其中任何一点。这里的it指代前文的the treasure。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He found Huck...”和“One day, they decided they would start digging under a dead tree near the haunted house.”可知，汤姆和哈克在枯树下挖宝藏，不是劫匪。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The unknown man was saying something dangerous.”可知，那个陌生男人正在说着一些凶险的事情，可以推断劫匪计划做一件危险的事。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He then started looking around the house for the owners of the tools.

Food security (安全) is a big problem for countries around the world. To save more food, governments and companies (公司) have taken different actions, showing their wisdom (智慧) in protecting the planet. Using food in the fridge Many families are confused (困惑的) about the ingredients (食材) in their fridges, and before they find out how to cook them, the ingredients have gone bad. To deal with such food waste, a company from Romania developed an app called OH, A potato!. By taking pictures, or simply scanning (扫描) the things in your fridge, this app can suggest recipes (菜谱) with the food you’ve got. This helps people make better use of food ingredients and avoids waste. Changing date labels In Norway, the government and companies are saving food by changing date labels (标签) on food packaging (包装). Many customers throw away food once it passes the date, but some food is still safe to eat near, on, or even after these dates, according to FoodHero. To make the labels more accurate (准确的), Norwegian companies are using the term “best before, often good after” or “not bad after” instead of “use by” on food labels. Banning unsold food waste In 2016, France became the first country in the world to ban (禁止) supermarkets from throwing away unsold food. They are now required to donate (捐赠) it to charities (慈善机构) or food banks. If they don’t, the managers would face a heavy fine or even jail (监禁), according to FoodHero. Food banks and charities are also asked to collect and store the food in clean conditions and give it out with respect. 38. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of World Food Day. B. The unsold food is healthy. C. A review of the latest food - scanning mobile applications. D. The problem of food security and global solutions to reduce food waste. 39. According to the passage, what is the primary function of the “OH, A potato!” app? A. To order ingredients on mobile phone for cooking. B. To suggest recipes based on the ingredients users have. C. To check date labels on food packaging. D. To connect users with local food banks. 40. The phrase “best before, often good after” is used to indicate that the food ________. A. is at its best quality before the date but may still be safe to eat later B. must be thrown away immediately on the date printed C. becomes poisonous immediately after the date D. is cheapest to buy before that date 41. What is the role of food banks and charities in the French law? A. They are responsible for punishing the supermarkets. B. They must collect, store, and distribute the donated food properly. C. They produce new food for the supermarkets. D. They decide which foods are safe to eat. 42. The author likely believes that solving the problem of food waste requires ________. A. a single, universal method that can be applied to all countries B. primarily technological innovations developed by large companies C. a combination of creativity and responsibility from different parts of society D. waiting for consumers to naturally change their habits over time 【答案】38. D 39. B 40. A 41. B 42.

With its highly human-like appearance and smooth “catwalk gait”, the robot surprised many people. IRON has 82 degrees of freedom, equipped with advanced AI chips and all-solid-state batteries. It can perform complex movements and delicate operations, such as walking gracefully and picking up small objects. However, its ultra-realistic gait made some netizens doubt if a real person was hiding inside. They pointed out that the robot’s leg movements were too natural to be mechanical. To answer the doubts, He Xiaopeng, Xpeng’s chairman, responded publicly within 24 hours. He posted a video showing IRON’s internal mechanical structure, including bionic muscles and flexible joints. This move helped calm the controversy. Many people then praised the technological breakthrough, while others discussed the “uncanny valley effect”—the discomfort people feel when robots are too similar to humans. Xpeng plans to put IRON into mass production by the end of 2026. It will first be used in service scenarios like guidance and shopping assistance. The robot’s release shows Xpeng’s step into the robotics field, bringing new ideas to the industry. This event not only displays technological progress but also makes people think about the future of human-robot interaction. As technology develops, such debates may become more common. 根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过8个词。 59. What did Xpeng release at its 2025 technology day? ________________________________________ 60.

Many Chinese words use direction words, and there’s a lot of history and culture behind them. up down We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to (指代) directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. left right Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to (与……有关联) being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs (信念), we still say they are following △. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for higher position than “left”. For example, the character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 26. What is the writer’s purpose to use shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo in the first paragraph? A. To tell a story B. To introduce the topic. C. To give an example. D. To tell the difference between shang and xia. 27. Which of the following can be best put in ________? A. Pangmenzuodao B. shangguanxiatiao C. qishangmanxia D. zuosiyouxiang 28. Which picture shows the layout of houses in ancient China according to the passage? A. B. C. D. 29. According to the passage, why was “left” associated with being “different” in ancient China? A. Because most people were right-handed. B. Because ancient people liked using their left hands. C. Because “left” means south. D. Because “left” means north. B Later in the summer, Tom decided to go digging for buried (埋藏) treasure. He found Huck and told him all about the places that robbers hid their treasure and a treasure map. One day, they decided they would start digging under a dead tree near the haunted house. They talked about what they would do with their treasure. Huck said he would spend his treasure so his father couldn’t get any of it. They dug for a while, and then gave up and tried another place. There was no treasure there, either. Tom realized they should return at midnight to dig again. As a result, the boys failed to find treasure that night.

Tom and Huck couldn’t believe they were watching real robbers bury treasure! It included thousands of dollars in gold and treasure. The men wanted to bury all their treasure again when Injun Joe started wondering why there were some tools in the house. Surely someone was there, he decided to hide the money somewhere else.

Food security (安全) is a big problem for countries around the world. To save more food, governments and companies (公司) have taken different actions, showing their wisdom (智慧) in protecting the planet. Using food in the fridge Many families are confused (困惑的) about the ingredients (食材) in their fridges, and before they find out how to cook them, the ingredients have gone bad. To deal with such food waste, a company from Romania developed an app called OH, A potato!. By taking pictures, or simply scanning (扫描) the things in your fridge, this app can suggest recipes (菜谱) with the food you’ve got. This helps people make better use of food ingredients and avoids waste. Changing date labels In Norway, the government and companies are saving food by changing date labels (标签) on food packaging (包装). Many customers throw away food once it passes the date, but some food is still safe to eat near, on, or even after these dates, according to FoodHero. To make the labels more accurate (准确的), Norwegian companies are using the term “best before, often good after” or “not bad after” instead of “use by” on food labels. Banning unsold food waste In 2016, France became the first country in the world to ban (禁止) supermarkets from throwing away unsold food. They are now required to donate (捐赠) it to charities (慈善机构) or food banks. If they don’t, the managers would face a heavy fine or even jail (监禁), according to FoodHero. Food banks and charities are also asked to collect and store the food in clean conditions and give it out with respect. 38. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of World Food Day. B. The unsold food is healthy. C. A review of the latest food - scanning mobile applications. D. The problem of food security and global solutions to reduce food waste. 39. According to the passage, what is the primary function of the “OH, A potato!” app? A. To order ingredients on mobile phone for cooking. B. To suggest recipes based on the ingredients users have. C. To check date labels on food packaging. D. To connect users with local food banks. 40. The phrase “best before, often good after” is used to indicate that the food ________. A. is at its best quality before the date but may still be safe to eat later B. must be thrown away immediately on the date printed C. becomes poisonous immediately after the date D. is cheapest to buy before that date 41 What is the role of food banks and charities in the French law? A. They are responsible for punishing the supermarkets. B. They must collect, store, and distribute the donated food properly. C. They produce new food for the supermarkets. D. They decide which foods are safe to eat. 42. The author likely believes that solving the problem of food waste requires ________. A. a single, universal method that can be applied to all countries B. primarily technological innovations developed by large companies C. a combination of creativity and responsibility from different parts of society D. waiting for consumers to naturally change their habits over time IV. 信息还原。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，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。 Mental health plays a key role in teenagers’ growth and development.

VI. 任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Xpeng’s Female Robot Sparks Heated Debate Xpeng Motors released a female humanoid robot called IRON during its November 2025 technology day, and the robot quickly triggered a fiery discussion online. With its highly human-like appearance and smooth “catwalk gait”, the robot surprised many people. IRON has 82 degrees of freedom, equipped with advanced AI chips and all-solid-state batteries. It can perform complex movements and delicate operations, such as walking gracefully and picking up small objects. However, its ultra-realistic gait made some netizens doubt if a real person was hiding inside. They pointed out that the robot’s leg movements were too natural to be mechanical. To answer the doubts, He Xiaopeng, Xpeng’s chairman, responded publicly within 24 hours. He posted a video showing IRON’s internal mechanical structure, including bionic muscles and flexible joints. This move helped calm the controversy. Many people then praised the technological breakthrough, while others discussed the “uncanny valley effect”—the discomfort people feel when robots are too similar to humans. Xpeng plans to put IRON into mass production by the end of 2026. It will first be used in service scenarios like guidance and shopping assistance. The robot’s release shows Xpeng’s step into the robotics field, bringing new ideas to the industry. This event not only displays technological progress but also makes people think about the future of human-robot interaction. As technology develops, such debates may become more common. 根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过8个词。 59. What did Xpeng release at its 2025 technology day? ________________________________________ 60. Why did some netizens doubt IRON? ________________________________________ 61. How many degrees of freedom does IRON have? ________________________________________ 62.
