Text 5 M： So, what's the problem, madam? W: The engine is making a strange sound. Could you take a look at it? I really can't afford a new car now. M： I'll take a closer look. Don't worry. This car can definitely go for another fifty thousand miles. Text 6 W: Hello? this is the Greenfield Hotel. What can I do for you? M： Hello! My name is Bill Brown, and I'd like to make a reservation.

I saw many scary images on TV — broken windows ? flooded streets and floating furniture! M： I know, but nothing serious is reported to have happened so far. W: But I haven't been able to reach them because of a sudden power failure in that area! M： Calm down.

After I finished my finance classes, I thought I should challenge myself with computer programming. So, I'm learning that now in my free time. There's a lot to read. But fortunately all the class books are electronic. They're cheaper, and of course, I can take them anywhere. W: Don't your eyes get tired from looking at your computer so much? People say electronic books are more convenient because they don't take up any more space. But I just like the feel of turning pages and the experience of a real book. Paper books will always be my favorite. M： What have you been reading lately? W: Medical theory and history. I am training to become a nurse. I have a lot to read. It is really tiring, but I don't mind. 二阅读： 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章介绍了一些旅游目的地。 1．细节理解题。根据Antwerp, Belgium部分中“Europe’s design center is less than an hour from Brussels by train and just 90 minutes from Bruges, making the location a solid starting point for exploring.(欧洲的设计中心从布鲁塞尔乘火车不到一个小时，从布鲁日只需90分钟，这使得它成为探索的坚实起点)”可知，便利的位置使得安特卫普成为一个探索的好地方，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据Bahia, Brazil部分中“This cultural hot spot, a perfect low-key alternative to the lively party scene of Rio, is filled with Afro-Brazilian influences in its booming restaurant scene with unique mixture of pre-Columbian, Portuguese and African dishes, plus amazing natural landscapes.(这个文化热点，是里约热内卢热闹派对场景的完美低调选择，其蓬勃发展的餐厅场景充满了非洲-巴西的影响，独特的前哥伦布，葡萄牙和非洲菜肴的混合，加上令人惊叹的自然景观)”可知，巴伊亚菜肴的特别之处在于它以独特的菜肴组合为特色，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据Big Sky, Montana部分中“For domestic travel, this super ski destination during winter has everything from large space to expensive accommodations that awaits travelers in 2025.

By this time she had become a legend of the first rank in Australian sport.(Dawn在1958年威尔士加的夫举行的英联邦运动会上又赢得了两枚金牌，并在1960年罗马奥运会上获得100米自由泳金牌。此时，她已成为澳大利亚体育界一流的传奇人物。)”可知，在1960年罗马奥运会上夺得金牌之后，Dawn开始被看作澳大利亚体育界的传奇。故选B项。 6．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She has since kept an active role in the sporting and wider community as patron(代言人) of the Cerebral Palsy Sports Association, the Wheelchair Sports Association of Victoria and of the Ladies Professional Golf Association.

I said “open the Emergency Operations Centre.”可知，我立刻起床，打开晨报，看到了坎莫尔的照片，然后给麦克哈尔斯回了电话。我说“打开紧急行动中心”。所以当他得知洪水要来之后，他立即命令马上启动应急措施。故选D。 10． 推理判断题。根据文中倒数第二段的“Luckily, the finger was found and it was reattached(重新接上）”可知，这个年轻人的手指被找到，重新装上，由此判断出他结局是好的。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据文中最后一段”And he says the city couldn’t have done it without hundreds of unsung heroes. “There were a lot of unbelievable things that went on during the flood and I think that is what Calgarians need to be proud of.”可知，他说，如果没有数百名无名英雄，这个城市就不可能成功。“洪水期间发生了很多难以置信的事情，我认为这是卡尔加里安人需要骄傲的。Burrell以这里的人们为傲，给予他们很高的评价。故选A。 【答案】12．B 13．A 14．C 15．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了美国网红IShowSpeed的中国之旅，展现了中国现代形象、文化特色及与西方的差异，改变了全球对中国的看法。 12．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Viral moments like dancing with local children or chatting with street vendors in broken Mandarin contrasted sharply with fixed Western media portrayals, showcasing a lively society where ancient traditions coexist with technological innovation.(与街头孩童共舞、用蹩脚中文和摊贩唠嗑等病毒式传播片段，与西方媒体的固化描述形成鲜明对比，展现出一个传统与科技共舞的生动中国)”可知，IShowSpeed与当地人的互动展示了与西方媒体描述不同的真实中国。故选B项。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Urban safety remains a prominent feature, with crime rates in metropolises like Shanghai far lower than in comparable Western cities.(城市安全仍然是一个显著特征，像上海这样的大都市的犯罪率远远低于可比的西方城市)”可知，中国城市安全的突出特点是像上海这样的大都市犯罪率较低。故选A项。 14．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For many young viewers abroad, his authentic interactions with locals and spontaneous exploration humanized a nation often reduced to political stereotypes.(对于许多国外的年轻观众来说，他与当地人的真实互动和自发探索使一个常被简化为政治刻板印象的国家变得有人情味)”可知，IShowSpeed的中国之旅使中国超越政治刻板印象，变得更有人情味。故选C项。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“American internet personality IShowSpeed (Darren Watkins Jr.) recently attracted global audiences with his lively tour of China, visiting Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, and Shenzhen. His spontaneous reactions — from admiring Shanghai’s futuristic skyline to humorously handling spicy hotpot in Chongqing — offered millions a relatable, humanized glimpse of modern China. Viral moments like dancing with local children or chatting with street vendors in broken Mandarin contrasted sharply with fixed Western media portrayals (描述), showcasing a lively society where ancient traditions coexist with technological innovation.(美国网红主播IShowSpeed(本名达伦·沃金斯)近日以充满活力的中国行吸引全球观众，先后打卡上海、北京、重庆和深圳四大城市。从惊叹上海未来感的天际线，到被重庆麻辣火锅辣得手忙脚乱的滑稽场面，这些即兴反应为数百万网友呈现了现代中国鲜活可感的人文图景——与街头孩童共舞、用蹩脚中文和摊贩唠嗑等病毒式传播片段，与西方媒体的固化描述形成鲜明对比，展现出一个传统与科技共舞的生动中国)”和第三段中“Cultural contrasts also came into focus. Unlike Western individualism, Chinese society emphasizes collective harmony, influencing workplace dynamics and social interactions. The digital landscape differs too: while global platforms remain unavailable, local alternatives like Douyin (TikTok’s Chinese version) and WeChat dominate daily life. Walkable urban design and strong public transit further distinguish Chinese cities from car-dependent Western hubs, promoting healthier, eco-friendly living. Equally striking is China’s shared dining culture, where shared meals foster connection — a sharp departure from individual-focused Western norms.(文化差异同样引人注目。与西方强调个人主义不同，中国社会更注重集体和谐，这种特质深刻影响着职场生态与人际交往。数字领域也呈现鲜明对比：虽然国际平台尚未开放，但抖音（TikTok中国版）和微信等本土应用已深度融入日常生活。步行友好的城市设计与发达的公共交通体系，使中国城市与依赖私家车的西方都市形成鲜明对比，推动着更健康、更环保的生活方式。同样令人印象深刻的是中国的共餐文化——围桌共享美食的习俗促进情感联结，这与西方注重个人份餐的习俗截然不同)”可知，文章通过介绍IShowSpeed的旅行展示了中国的现代形象和文化差异。故D项“China’s modern image and cultural contrasts shown via IShowSpeed’s trip(通过IShowSpeed的旅行展示的中国现代形象和文化差异)”能概括文章内容。故选D项。 【答案】16．F 17．G 18．C 19．D 20．E 【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了我们需要避免的对学习语言的一些误解。 16．根据指代关系和下文“In that case, first of all, you need to avoid some misunderstandings about language learning.(在这种情况下，首先，你需要避免一些关于语言学习的误解)”中提到“在这种情况下”可知，设空句中会描述一种“需要避免一些关于语言学习的误解”的情景，F项“Do you want to speak many foreign languages?(你想说多种外语吗?)”中“说多种外语”正是这种情景，符合上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 17．根据段首小标题“Language learning is difficult”可知，学习语言的第一个误解是“语言学习是困难的”，也就是说真正情况是语言学习并不困难，G项“Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult.(学习一门语言需要时间，但并不难)”与上文“It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. (只有当你不想学的时候，学习一门语言才会变得困难)”分析了让语言学习困难的真正原因和正确学习语言的方法，同时照应本段主题，符合上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 18．C项“They can’t just all be gifted at languages. (他们不可能都有语言天赋)”是对上文“In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language.(在瑞典和荷兰，大多数人会说不止一种语言)”的补足说明，用瑞典和荷兰大多数人会说不止一种语言，但他们不可能都有语言天赋这一事例来驳斥“You have to have a gift for learning languages(你必须有学习语言的天赋)”这一误解。故选C项。 19．设空处是段首小标题，是关于学习语言的另一个误解。根据下文事例“Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than poor English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English.(一些北美的移民除了说蹩脚的英语外，从未学过其他语言。然而，我们在其他国家也遇到过英语说得很流利的人)”可知，本段要证明的是学好一门语言并不一定要生活在说这种语言的地方，由此推知，段首小标题中关于学习语言的另一个误解应该是：你必须生活在说这种语言的地方。故选D项。 20．根据段首小标题“Only children can learn to speak another language well”可知，学习语言的另一个误解是“只有孩子才能学好一门外语”，也就是说真正情况是，不只有孩子只能学好一门外语，成人也能，E项“I have learned 4 languages since the age of 55.(从55岁开始，我已经学会了4种语言)”有举例的方法证明了成人也能学好语言，符合上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 三 完型： 1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．D 6．A 7．D 8．A 9．B 10．B 11．D 12．A 13．D 14．C 15．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者因为照顾孩子而中断健身，在参加了团队远足之后重归健康生活的故事。

C CALGARY, CANADA---It was one of the most important phone calls Bruce Burrell has ever received, a call warning that a flood was headed Calgary’s way. “I got a phone call about five in the morning on Thursday from Len McCharles, who was on watch at the time, and he said “there has been big flooding in Canmore and it’s heading this way,” said Burrell, the head of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency. “I got up immediately, turned on the morning news, saw the    pictures from Canmore and then called McCharles back. I said “open the Emergency Operations Centre.” Burrell was in the EOC for 48 hours straight and it wasn’t until Burrell left the centre for the first time that the disaster(灾难）hit him. “Once you step outside and you actually see it and hear it, it paints a completely different picture from what you thought you would be dealing with.” Calgary firefighters came to help the Calgarians who were influenced by floodwaters. Keal Prince, captain of the Calgary Fire Department remembers how a young boy lost his finger while helping a woman remove debris(瓦砾） out of her house. “As his finger got cut off it went into a fully loaded dumpster(装好的垃圾箱）”Prince said. “People had worked hours to get the dumpster loaded and now they’re working tirelessly, quickly to unload that dumpster, looking for that finger.” “We had to remove a lot of debris to find that finger. Luckily, the finger was found and it was reattached，”Prince added. Burrell is proud of what the city has achieved so far. And he says the city couldn’t have done it without hundreds of unsung heroes. “There were a lot of unbelievable things that went on during the flood and I think that is what Calgarians need to be proud of.” 8．On the morning of Thursday, Burrell ______. A．recogised his house was flooded B．was called to go to Canmore to help people C．got to know from others about a coming disater. D. opened his house and found something was wrong. 9．Hearing what had happened, Burrell ________. A．called the centre to collect pictures B．reported the event to the TV station C．went to the flooded areas immediately D．gave orders for work to be started at once 10What does the underlined word “reattached” mean ? A 切断 B．重新接上 C．重新粘贴 D．附属 11．We can infer from the last paragragh that Burrell ______. A．thinks highly of people in Calgary B．has received praise from Calgarians C．thinks it’s his duty to protect the city D．feels the firefighters need more training D American internet personality IShowSpeed (Darren Watkins Jr.) recently attracted global audiences with his lively tour of China, visiting Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, and Shenzhen. His spontaneous reactions — from admiring Shanghai’s futuristic skyline to humorously handling spicy hotpot in Chongqing — offered millions a relatable, humanized glimpse of modern China. Viral moments like dancing with local children or chatting with street vendors in broken Mandarin contrasted sharply with fixed Western media portrayals (描述), showcasing a lively society where ancient traditions coexist with technological innovation. The trip underscored China’s growing appeal as a destination for global citizens. Major cities boast advanced infrastructure, including high-speed railways and efficient public transit, while maintaining affordability in daily expenses like dining and healthcare. Urban safety remains a prominent feature, with crime rates in metropolises like Shanghai far lower than in comparable Western cities. Additionally, China’s digital ecosystem — cashless payments, instant delivery services, and super-apps like WeChat — provides unmatched convenience, changing lifestyles for residents and visitors alike. Cultural contrasts also came into focus. Unlike Western individualism, Chinese society emphasizes collective harmony, influencing workplace dynamics and social interactions. The digital landscape differs too: while global platforms remain unavailable, local alternatives like Douyin (TikTok’s Chinese version) and WeChat dominate daily life. Walkable urban design and strong public transit further distinguish Chinese cities from car-dependent Western hubs, promoting healthier, eco-friendly living. Equally striking is China’s shared dining culture, where shared meals foster connection—a sharp departure from individual-focused Western norms. IShowSpeed’s journey sparked fresh dialogue about China’s global image. For many young viewers abroad, his authentic interactions（真实的互动） with locals and spontaneous exploration humanized（人性化） a nation often reduced to political stereotypes (刻板印象). As cross-cultural exchanges recover post-pandemic, China is increasingly seen not just as an economic leader but as a dynamic, welcoming destination for innovators, students, and creatives. While challenges persist — such as adapting to China’s unique internet environment — the country’s blend of tradition and modernity continues to redefine global perceptions, proving its story is richer and more complex than many once believed. 12．What can we infer from IShowSpeed’s interactions with locals? A．They reinforced negative Western stereotypes of China. B．They provided an authentic（真实的） view different from media descriptions. C．They showed China’s lack of technological innovation. D．They focused only on traditional Chinese culture. 13．What is highlighted as a standout（突出的） feature of Chinese urban safety? A．Lower crime rates in metropolises like Shanghai. B．Higher crime rates than Western cities. C．Strict police control in all cities. D．Zero tolerance for street vendors. 14．How has IShowSpeed’s trip influenced global perceptions of China? A．It made China appear less welcoming to visitors. B．It emphasized China’s political issues over culture. C．It humanized China beyond political stereotypes. D．It highlighted China’s economic challenges. 15．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The challenges of traveling in China as a foreigner. B．How IShowSpeed became popular through his China tour. C．The differences between Chinese and Western dining cultures. D．China’s modern image and cultural contrasts shown via IShowSpeed’s trip. 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you want to know the benefits of learning a foreign language? 16 In that case, first of all, you need to avoid some misunderstandings about language learning.
