As a seven-year-old, I wrote a letter to the President of Coca-Cola, begging for his help. Having just returned from a ski trip to Suratam Mountain, Vermont, I found myself unable to locate a specific product. At a store on the mountain, my mom bought Coke in nice-looking 240ml glass bottles. I saved my empty container and after searching all day when I got home, I realized that my local grocery store did not have these bottles.
That night at dinner, after telling my parents my discovery, they suggested that I get some information about the bottles. My mom was a recruiter (招聘专员) at the time, her job involving many research skills, and she provided me with a telephone number for Coca-Cola. I called the following day and got a mailing address for the President, and wrote him a letter.
I suppose not too many seven-year-olds voice their concerns to this man, as I quickly received a response. However, the letter was an apology. “Unfortunately,” it read, “we are unable to provide this product in your region.” It began to explain, in very simple terms, that it was not cost effective for Coca-Cola to sell the product in my living area. His only recourse was to offer me coupons (优惠券) for other Coca-Cola products.
Yet that polite refusal became my first lesson in supply chain economics (经济). My interest in the Coca-Cola company grew. By sixth grade, while my classmates were trading baseball cards, I was already tracking Coca-Cola’s business performance (表现) online.
Today, as I analyze consumer behavior for a Fortune 500 company, I often think about how my career began with that childhood inquiry (探究). Most importantly, I remember how my parents turned a simple product search into a teachable moment about business realities. Their decision taught me that no question is too small when finding understanding — a principle (准则) that still guides my market research today.
4. Why did the young author write the letter?
A. To ask for some coupons. B. To share a new product idea.
C. To request an unavailable product. D. To complain about product quality.
5. What can we infer about the author’s mother from Paragraph 2?
A. She had worked for Coca-Cola before.
B. She actively supported her child’s curiosity.
C. She thought her child’s demand was impossible.
D. She found the address of Coca-Cola’s President.
6. What does the underlined word “recourse” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Apology. B. Reward. C. Alternative. D. Refusal.
7. What does the author intend to show through the text?
A. Focusing on profitable products is key to business.
B. Companies should value every consumer’s need.
C. Hands-on exploration cost lots of money and energy.
D. Small inquiries can lead to meaningful discoveries.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者七岁时因买不到心仪的可口可乐玻璃瓶写信求助总裁,虽遭拒却初识供应链经济,这份儿时的小探究启蒙了商业认知,也影响了其日后的职业与研究理念。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Having just returned from a ski trip to Suratam Mountain, Vermont, I found myself unable to locate a specific product. At a store on the mountain, my mom bought Coke in nice-looking 240ml glass bottles. I saved my empty container and after searching all day when I got home, I realized that my local grocery store did not have these bottles.(刚刚从佛蒙特州萨拉塔姆山的滑雪之旅归来后,我发现自己无法找到某一款特定的产品。在山上的那家商店里,我妈妈买了装在漂亮240毫升玻璃瓶里的可口可乐。我留住了空瓶子,然后一整天都在家里寻找,最后发现我家附近的杂货店没有这种瓶子)”可知,作者写这封信是为了要求购买一款缺货的产品。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“My mom was a recruiter (招聘专员) at the time, her job involving many research skills, and she provided me with a telephone number for Coca-Cola. I called the following day and got a mailing address for the President, and wrote him a letter.(当时我妈妈是一名招聘专员,她的工作需要运用多种研究技能。她给了我可口可乐公司的电话号码。第二天我就拨打了这个电话,并获取了总裁的邮寄地址,然后给他写了一封信)”可知,作者的母亲积极支持孩子的好奇心。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“we are unable to provide this product in your region.(我们无法在您所在的地区提供这种产品)”以及下文“offer me coupons (优惠券) for other Coca-Cola products(给我其他可口可乐产品的优惠券)”可知,总裁无法提供作者想要的玻璃瓶可乐,只能用其他产品的优惠券作为替代方案、补救办法。故划线词意思是“替代方案”。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Their decision taught me that no question is too small when finding understanding — a principle (准则) that still guides my market research today.(他们的这一决定让我明白,在寻求理解的过程中,任何问题都不应被忽视——这一原则至今仍指导着我的市场调研工作)”结合文章主旨是作者儿时一次微小的、想要可乐瓶的探究,最终启蒙了自己的商业认知,甚至影响了日后的职业方向,可知,作者通过这篇文章想要表达微小的探究可能会带来有意义的发现。故选D。
C
English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.
When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.
Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick.
Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.
Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs”.
Heavy rain often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”.
Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.
8. According to Paragraph 1, which is right about idioms?
A. Expressions which are based on animals.
B. Expressions with rich cultural background.
C. Expressions that always make sense.
D. Expressions which are easy to understand.
9. What can “monkeying around” be used to describe?
A. Children jump around and waste time.
B. Children do something useful and serious.
C. Children play with monkeys with their parents.
D. Children spend time playing with their family pets.
10. What can be learned from the text?
A. Dogs and cats always get along nicely.
B. Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.
C. Americans believe cats can give away secrets.
D. Americans use the idiom “as sick as a dog” to describe a healthy man.
11. How does the text mainly develop?
A. By sharing experiences.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving examples.
D. By listing figures.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了英语习语的特点并列举了一些与动物相关的习语。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. (即使你知道每个单词的意思,你也可能不理解这个习语,因为你不了解它背后的文化。)”可知,习语有它背后的文化。故选B。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time. (当孩子们跳来跳去做傻事时,他们的父母可能会告诉他们不要“胡闹”。“胡闹”的意思是做一些没用或不严肃的事情,或者只是浪费时间。)”可知,“monkeying around”用来描述跳来跳去,浪费时间的孩子。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段最后两句“If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”. (如果一群小虫子喜欢你的食物,开始在你周围盘旋,那真的很烦人。这种经历很好地解释了为什么人们经常告诉那些一直打扰他们的人“别烦我了”。)”可知,人们经常对一直打扰他们的人说“stop bugging me”。由此可推知,我们可以用与虫子(bug)有关的习语来表达恼怒。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章第一段说明了英语习语的特点,第二至六段列举了五个与动物相关的英语习语并进行了语意的探究,由此推知,本文是以举例子的方式展开的。故选C。
D
The concept of jetpacks (喷气背包) has long had us daydreaming of flying around in the air. Now, a company called CudaJet has taken these visions and placed them elsewhere — in the ocean. The UK-based company has created what they claim to be the world’s first underwater jetpack.
Invented by Archie O’Brien and produced in England, the CudaJet offers speeds of up to 10 feet per second — faster than any swimmer out there — and provides about 90 minutes of self - powered underwater adventures (冒险). Having a patented system, the jetpack is operated by a handheld controller, with the user's body providing the direction while the device generates forward force. The CudaJet has a “quick attach” technology that fits most sizes and can be put on and set in a matter of seconds.
It looks like a backpack and even allows users to roll sideways like a dolphin in the ocean. Its carbon fiber (碳纤维) structure keeps it lightweight while providing the perfect balance between firm and flexible (柔韧的). But, to keep yourself safe, you must wear a diving mask that covers your nose to prevent any injury, and you must safely equalize (补偿) your ears —this means leveling the air pressure between your middle ear and the surrounding environment.
The jetpack has been tested at depths of up to 131 feet; however, out of safety, the CudaJet has a 10 - foot limit to prevent inexperienced users from going too deep, too quickly. If this happens, the power will cut out, with the jetpack bringing the user to the surface. The CudaJet also stops the moment the wearer lets go of the handheld controller and doesn't go any further, aided by the drag of water.
The biggest weakness of the CudaJet is that it is meant to be used in assisted free diving only. Besides, long hair can get caught in the equipment, so it must be pulled back tightly; you can only charge with dry connections in a dry environment; and you mustn't store it when it's fully charged.
12. What is a key feature of the CudaJet’s design for user safety?
A. It automatically adjusts speed based on the water pressure.
B. It stops working if the user loosens the handheld controller.
C. It requires professional diving licenses for all users.
D. It allows unlimited depth for experienced adventurers.
13. What is the author's overall attitude towards the CudaJet underwater jetpack?
A. Undecided. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
14. What can be inferred about the CudaJet from the passage?
A. It is intended mainly for professional deep-sea exploration.
B. Its battery life is the longest among similar underwater devices.
C. It can be used in various underwater sports without limits.
D. Its designers care for the safety and ease of use for beginners.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce an underwater device with its functions and limits.
B. To explain the technical principles of underwater jetpacks.
C. To sell a new underwater product with special offers.
D. To ask for the importance of ocean environment technology.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文. 文章主要介绍了CudaJet水下喷气背包的功能和限制。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The CudaJet also stops the moment the wearer lets go of the handheld controller and doesn’t go any further, aided by the drag of water.(一旦使用者松开手持控制器,CudaJet就会停止工作,并且在水流的阻力下不再前进。)”可知,如果使用者松开手持控制器,CudaJet就会停止工作,这是为了用户安全而设计的一个关键特性。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。文章既提到了CudaJet的优点,如提供快速的水下冒险、设计轻便且平衡性好等,也提到了其缺点,如仅适用于辅助自由潜水、长发可能被设备缠住等,由此可知,作者对CudaJet水下喷气背包的总体态度是客观的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The CudaJet has a “quick attach” technology that fits most sizes and can be put on and set in a matter of seconds.(CudaJet具有“快速连接”技术,适合大多数尺寸,可以在几秒钟内穿上并设置好。)”和第四段“The CudaJet has been tested at depths of up to 131 feet; however, out of safety, the CudaJet has a 10-foot limit to prevent inexperienced users from going too deep, too quickly.(CudaJet已经在高达131英尺的深度进行了测试;然而,出于安全考虑,CudaJet有10英尺的限制,以防止没有经验的用户潜得太深、太快。)”可知,CudaJet的设计者关心初学者的安全和易用性。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了CudaJet水下喷气背包的功能,如提供快速的水下冒险、设计轻便且平衡性好等,同时也提到了其限制,如仅适用于辅助自由潜水、长发可能被设备缠住等,由此可知,这篇文章的主要目的是介绍一种水下设备及其功能和限制。故选A项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It took a day’s drive, but distance was beside the point. I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist destination, but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers, which I was not good at.
On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school. Feeling lonely. I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging.
As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident, although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him. He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other.
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.
However, I was assigned to pair up with Alex to design a poster.

Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】However, I was assigned to pair up with Alex to design a poster. Reluctantly, we started working together. I was worried that working with Alex would be very difficult because of our previous relationship. But to my surprise, as the work progressed, we found that we shared many common interests. We put a lot of efforts into the drawings and texts, and finally we completed a quite outstanding poster. Alex seemed to forgive me. He appreciated my efforts and began to care about my feelings. The teacher highly praised our work and our classmates were amazed at the picture on the poster.
Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me. I smiled shyly but happily as my classmates crowned me and gave me a thumbs-up. Slowly but surely, I started feeling more comfortable in my new school. I made new friends, including Alex, and began to participate in activities in and after classes. By the end of the school year, I had fully adapted to the new environment. Moving to a new town was not only challenging, but it also opened up a world of opportunities and new experiences for me.

As a seven-year-old, I wrote a letter to the President of Coca-Cola, begging for his help. Having just returned from a ski trip to Suratam Mountain, Vermont, I found myself unable to locate a specific product. At a store on the mountain, my mom bought Coke in nice-looking 240ml glass bottles. I saved my empty container and after searching all day when I got home, I realized that my local grocery store did not have these bottles.
That night at dinner, after telling my parents my discovery, they suggested that I get some information about the bottles. My mom was a recruiter (招聘专员) at the time, her job involving many research skills, and she provided me with a telephone number for Coca-Cola. I called the following day and got a mailing address for the President, and wrote him a letter.
I suppose not too many seven-year-olds voice their concerns to this man, as I quickly received a response. However, the letter was an apology. “Unfortunately,” it read, “we are unable to provide this product in your region.” It began to explain, in very simple terms, that it was not cost effective for Coca-Cola to sell the product in my living area. His only recourse was to offer me coupons (优惠券) for other Coca-Cola products.
Yet that polite refusal became my first lesson in supply chain economics (经济). My interest in the Coca-Cola company grew. By sixth grade, while my classmates were trading baseball cards, I was already tracking Coca-Cola’s business performance (表现) online.
Today, as I analyze consumer behavior for a Fortune 500 company, I often think about how my career began with that childhood inquiry (探究). Most importantly, I remember how my parents turned a simple product search into a teachable moment about business realities. Their decision taught me that no question is too small when finding understanding — a principle (准则) that still guides my market research today.
4. Why did the young author write the letter?
A To ask for some coupons. B. To share a new product idea.
C. To request an unavailable product. D. To complain about product quality.
5. What can we infer about the author’s mother from Paragraph 2?
A. She had worked for Coca-Cola before.
B. She actively supported her child’s curiosity.
C. She thought her child’s demand was impossible.
D. She found the address of Coca-Cola’s President.
6. What does the underlined word “recourse” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Apology. B. Reward. C. Alternative. D. Refusal.
7. What does the author intend to show through the text?
A. Focusing on profitable products is key to business.
B. Companies should value every consumer’s need.
C. Hands-on exploration cost lots of money and energy.
D. Small inquiries can lead to meaningful discoveries.
C
English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.
When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.
Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick.
Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.
Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs”.
Heavy rain often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”.
Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.
8. According to Paragraph 1 which is right about idioms?
A. Expressions which are based on animals.
B. Expressions with rich cultural background.
C. Expressions that always make sense.
D. Expressions which are easy to understand.
9. What can “monkeying around” be used to describe?
A. Children jump around and waste time.
B. Children do something useful and serious.
C. Children play with monkeys with their parents.
D. Children spend time playing with their family pets.
10. What can be learned from the text?

The concept of jetpacks (喷气背包) has long had us daydreaming of flying around in the air. Now, a company called CudaJet has taken these visions and placed them elsewhere — in the ocean. The UK-based company has created what they claim to be the world’s first underwater jetpack.
Invented by Archie O’Brien and produced in England the CudaJet offers speeds of up to 10 feet per second — faster than any swimmer out there — and provides about 90 minutes of self - powered underwater adventures (冒险). Having a patented system, the jetpack is operated by a handheld controller, with the user's body providing the direction while the device generates forward force. The CudaJet has a “quick attach” technology that fits most sizes and can be put on and set in a matter of seconds.
It looks like a backpack and even allows users to roll sideways like a dolphin in the ocean. Its carbon fiber (碳纤维) structure keeps it lightweight while providing the perfect balance between firm and flexible (柔韧的). But, to keep yourself safe, you must wear a diving mask that covers your nose to prevent any injury, and you must safely equalize (补偿) your ears —this means leveling the air pressure between your middle ear and the surrounding environment.
The jetpack has been tested at depths of up to 131 feet; however, out of safety, the CudaJet has a 10 - foot limit to prevent inexperienced users from going too deep, too quickly. If this happens, the power will cut out, with the jetpack bringing the user to the surface. The CudaJet also stops the moment the wearer lets go of the handheld controller and doesn't go any further, aided by the drag of water.
The biggest weakness of the CudaJet is that it is meant to be used in assisted free diving only. Besides, long hair can get caught in the equipment, so it must be pulled back tightly; you can only charge with dry connections in a dry environment; and you mustn't store it when it's fully charged.
12. What is a key feature of the CudaJet’s design for user safety?
A. It automatically adjusts speed based on the water pressure.
B. It stops working if the user loosens the handheld controller.
C. It requires professional diving licenses for all users.
D. It allows unlimited depth for experienced adventurers.
13. What is the author's overall attitude towards the CudaJet underwater jetpack?
A. Undecided. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
14. What can be inferred about the CudaJet from the passage?
A. It is intended mainly for professional deep-sea exploration.
B. Its battery life is the longest among similar underwater devices.
C. It can be used in various underwater sports without limits.
D. Its designers care for the safety and ease of use for beginners.
15 What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce an underwater device with its functions and limits.
B. To explain the technical principles of underwater jetpacks.
C. To sell a new underwater product with special offers.
D. To ask for the importance of ocean environment technology.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It took a day’s drive, but distance was beside the point. I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist destination, but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers, which I was not good at.
On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school. Feeling lonely. I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging.
As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident, although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him. He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other.
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.
However, I was assigned to pair up with Alex to design a poster.

Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me.
