It’s usually the fastest and most convenient way to go on long trips. But here’s a problem: it’s one of the activities that produce the most carbon for an ordinary person. Years ago, a small group of famous people in Sweden, driven by environmental worries, started the“flight shame”movement. They wanted to encourage people to give up flying. But for those who need to travel or love travelling, what other green ways are there? For medium to long trips, trains seem to be the best choice. According to a report, taking a train instead of a domestic (国内的) flight can cut down carbon emissions (碳排放) by 86%. However, there are some problems. Trains can be more expensive than cheap flights, especially during busy travel seasons. Also, it may take many more hours to get to your place, and most people don’t want to spend a lot of their travel time just on the way. That’s why sleeper trains are a great idea. The networks of sleeper trains in Europe are getting bigger, with new railways being added regularly. This means passengers can sleep during the trip and wake up in a new city or country! For short trips, many people are willing to ride bikes instead of driving cars. But few would think of cycling to another country. Matilda Welin is one of the few. It took her 17 days to ride a bike from London to Sweden. Sadly, she found that her trip neither benefited the planet nor saved her money. But it did change how she saw things. She said,“When I was travelling, I really felt the distance of the journey that I usually take so easily by plane.”She described how the world around her changed slowly, like the languages, the buildings, and the view—things she couldn’t enjoy on a flight. Unfortunately for the planet, air travel remains a popular choice. About 100,000 planes take off around the world every day. But if we spend more money on building better train systems and make train tickets cheaper, more people might choose trains over planes, which could greatly reduce carbon emissions. 1．How does the writer introduce the greener choices compared with flying in Paragraph 1? A．By giving facts. B．By asking a question. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．What challenges do trains face compared to flights? A．Trains are always faster but more expensive than flights. B．Trains are often cheaper but take much longer time than flights. C．Trains are more expensive than cheap flights and take more hours. D．Trains are used for short-distance trips and less effective than flights. 3．What do you know about Matilda Welin’s cycling trip from the passage? A．The trip took her little time and wasted some money. B．The trip has brought a lot of advantages to the planet. C．She enjoyed experiencing slow changes during the trip. D．She realized that the distance of this trip was quite short. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The greenest active way to travel. B．Choose green travel instead of flying. C．Serious problems of travelling by bike. D．Push forward the building of train systems. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，探讨航空旅行的高碳排放问题，提出火车和自行车作为更环保的替代出行方式，分析其优缺点，并呼吁改善铁路系统以鼓励绿色出行。 1．推理判断题。根据“But for those who need to travel or love travelling, what other green ways are there?”可知，作者通过提问引出绿色出行选择，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Trains can be more expensive than cheap flights…it may take many more hours to get to your place”可知，火车比廉价航班贵且耗时更长，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“She described how the world around her changed slowly…things she couldn’t enjoy on a flight”可知，她享受旅途中的缓慢变化，故选C。 4．主旨大意题。全文围绕飞行碳排放问题，介绍火车、骑行等绿色出行方式，呼吁替代飞行，主旨是选择绿色出行而非飞行，故选B。 It has been forty years since China’s Reform and Opening-up (改革开放).

Feb. 23 is the day for students of Guanzhaiwan Primary School in Puli Township to report for the new term. Children from Nizhuhe Village packed their bags and set off for school. What sets them apart from other students is their mode of transportation. Nizhuhe Village is a small village lying in a deep valley carved by the Nizhu River meandering (蜿蜒) from south to north. In the past, the villagers’ shortest route from the valley floor to the mountaintop was a dangerous cliffside path, a journey that took nearly six hours for a round trip. Children and their parents living here had to make this hard trek at least once every ten days. This undated file photo shows children of Nizhuhe Village climbing a cliffside path on their way to school in Puli Township, Xuanwei City, Yunnan Province. In 2022, a significant change came to this challenging journey. A local scenic area along the Nizhu River was officially completed and began operations. A 268-metre-high sightseeing elevator and a cable car system were put into use, offering free access to the villagers of Nizhuhe and nearby areas. This provided the children with a direct “cloud shuttle” to the mountaintop.

D．The villagers have to pay a lot for using the lift. 3．What does the underlined word “trek” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．A short walk. B．A difficult journey. C．A dangerous area. D．A free ride. 4．The undated file photo shows ________. A． B． C． D． 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The change of the transportation in Nizhuhe Village.

My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, villagers had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the fruit production was still low because the area was short of water. One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied. Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother. One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canals ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project ( 水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production by using clean water in the river. I want to thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from. 1．What troubled the villagers most was that ________. A．they had too much work B．it was not convenient to go up the hill C．they could only grow fruit trees D．there wasn’t enough water in the orchard 2．The good men came and offered help probably because of ________.

Nicknamed “packbasket special line”, the subway has provided local farmers near the town with a wider channel for selling their vegetables since its opening in 2022. The vegetables can be sold at higher prices in the city now. Every morning, these special passengers crowd into Shichuan Town Station of the line. They carry baskets filled with fresh vegetables on their backs, shoulders or even small trolleys with wheels. To help them, the station now opens five minutes earlier, at 6:10 every day. The station staff also offer help, such as helping with the baskets and guiding them to get into the station quickly and orderly. An old couple in their 80s who take the subway to sell vegetables, thinks the opening of the subway line brings them convenience. In Chongqing, old people over 65 can take the subway for free. The husband also says, “It took us over one hour to reach the city before. Now, by taking the subway, we can get there in less than 30 minutes.” Some people say that these farmers should be stopped from carrying large vegetable baskets onto the subway in the mornings and evenings, as this could cause inconvenience to other passengers hurrying to work. But Chongqing Rail Transit says that passengers are allowed to carry things with the length, width, and height less than 2 metres and the weight less than 20 kilos. 1．Which subway line is the “packbasket special line”? 2．When does the Shichuan Town Station open every day? 3．What conveniences does the subway bring to the old couple? 4．Why are some people against the farmers carrying vegetable baskets onto the subway? 5．What do you think of the “packbasket special line”? And why do you think so? 【答案】1．Chongqing’s Subway Line 4. 2．At 6:10 every day. 3．It saves them money and time. 4．Because they think this could cause inconvenience to other passengers hurrying to work. 5．It’s great. Because it’s more convenient and comfortable for the farmers to take the subway to sell vegetables, and it also helps them increase their income. (言之有理即可) 【导语】本文主要讲述了重庆地铁4号线为附近农民提供便利，帮助他们运送蔬菜到市中心销售的现象。 1．首段直接描述了这一场景发生在“Chongqing’s Subway Line 4”，第二段紧接着说明这条线路被昵称为“packbasket special line”。因此答案是原文直接信息。 2．第三段明确指出“the station now opens... at 6:10 every day”。这是原文中的具体时间信息，直接提取。 3．此答案是对第四段信息的概括总结。该段提到两个事实：一是“old people over 65 can take the subway for free”（节省金钱），二是通勤时间从“over one  hour”缩短到“less than 30 minutes”（节省时间）。答案将这两点整合为“saves them money and time”。 4．第五段开头直接给出了部分人反对的理由：“this could cause inconvenience to other passengers hurrying to work”。答案几乎是原文引述。 5．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实。结合文章内容和自己对“背篓专线”的看法、理由，合理作答即可。 What would you say about Shenzhen?

Everything has changed since then. People built tall buildings. On Sept. 3, 1984, Shenzhen finished building the International Foreign Trade Center. It was China’s tallest building at that time. The world was surprised at how fast people built it. It took only three days to build one new floor. This speed later became known as “Shenzhen speed” and showed the city’s high efficiency (效率). The city also got the nickname of China’s “Silicon Valley”. In the 1990s, Shenzhen decided to make technology one of its main industries. Many companies that make electronic products, such as TVs, computers and mobile phones, have come to Shenzhen. The city is home to many large tech companies, including Huawei and Tencent. Because of its fast development, people from all over China came to Shenzhen to make their dreams come true. According to the latest official statistics (统计数据), of about 17.7 million people in Shenzhen, 70 percent were born or grew up elsewhere, but no one feels like an outsider. As the famous saying goes, “You become a Shenzhener once you come to Shenzhen.” 1．When did Shenzhen become the first Special Economic Zone in China? 2．Why was the world surprised at the building of the International Foreign Trade Center? 3．Why did Shenzhen get the nickname of China’s “Silicon Valley”? 4．How do people feel when they come to Shenzhen? 5．What do you think is the key to Shenzhen’s success? Why? 【答案】1．On Aug. 26, 1980. 2．Because people built it very fast./Because it took only three days to build one new floor. 3．Because in the 1990s, Shenzhen decided to make technology one of its main industries. 4．They feel they become Shenzheners. 5．Shenzhen’s focus on innovation and technology.

It took only three days to build one new floor.”可知，国际外贸中心的建成让世界感到惊讶的原因是它的建造速度很快，每新盖一层楼只需要三天的时间。故填Because people built it very fast./Because it took only three days to build one new floor. 3．根据第四段“The city also got the nickname of China’s “Silicon Valley”. In the 1990s, Shenzhen decided to make technology one of its main industries.”可知，深圳被称为“中国硅谷”的原因是在20世纪九十年代将科技作为其核心产业。故填Because in the 1990s, Shenzhen decided to make technology one of its main industries. 4．根据最后一段“According to the latest official statistics (统计数据)...but no one feels like an outsider. As the famous saying goes,‘You become a Shenzhener once you come to Shenzhen.’”可知，当人们来到深圳时，他们不会觉得自己是外人，会感觉自己就是深圳人。故填They feel they become Shenzheners. 5．本题询问“你认为深圳取得成功的关键因素是什么？为什么？”，开放性回答，合理即可。故填Shenzhen’s focus on innovation and technology. Because Shenzhen attracts many tech companies and helps its development. 五、选词填空 since, take place, leading, as well as,  used to, thanks to, step by step, electric 1 China’s reform and opening up policy, which began at the end of 1978, today’s China isn’t the same as it 2 be about 40 years ago.

It’s usually the fastest and most convenient way to go on long trips. But here’s a problem: it’s one of the activities that produce the most carbon for an ordinary person. Years ago, a small group of famous people in Sweden, driven by environmental worries, started the“flight shame”movement. They wanted to encourage people to give up flying. But for those who need to travel or love travelling, what other green ways are there? For medium to long trips, trains seem to be the best choice. According to a report, taking a train instead of a domestic (国内的) flight can cut down carbon emissions (碳排放) by 86%. However, there are some problems. Trains can be more expensive than cheap flights, especially during busy travel seasons. Also, it may take many more hours to get to your place, and most people don’t want to spend a lot of their travel time just on the way. That’s why sleeper trains are a great idea. The networks of sleeper trains in Europe are getting bigger, with new railways being added regularly. This means passengers can sleep during the trip and wake up in a new city or country! For short trips, many people are willing to ride bikes instead of driving cars. But few would think of cycling to another country. Matilda Welin is one of the few. It took her 17 days to ride a bike from London to Sweden. Sadly, she found that her trip neither benefited the planet nor saved her money. But it did change how she saw things. She said,“When I was travelling, I really felt the distance of the journey that I usually take so easily by plane.”She described how the world around her changed slowly, like the languages, the buildings, and the view—things she couldn’t enjoy on a flight. Unfortunately for the planet, air travel remains a popular choice. About 100,000 planes take off around the world every day. But if we spend more money on building better train systems and make train tickets cheaper, more people might choose trains over planes, which could greatly reduce carbon emissions. 1．How does the writer introduce the greener choices compared with flying in Paragraph 1? A．By giving facts. B．By asking a question. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．What challenges do trains face compared to flights? A．Trains are always faster but more expensive than flights. B．Trains are often cheaper but take much longer time than flights. C．Trains are more expensive than cheap flights and take more hours. D．Trains are used for short-distance trips and less effective than flights. 3．What do you know about Matilda Welin’s cycling trip from the passage? A．The trip took her little time and wasted some money. B．The trip has brought a lot of advantages to the planet. C．She enjoyed experiencing slow changes during the trip. D．She realized that the distance of this trip was quite short. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The greenest active way to travel. B．Choose green travel instead of flying. C．Serious problems of travelling by bike. D．Push forward the building of train systems. It has been forty years since China’s Reform and Opening-up (改革开放). Let’s see how China has changed through the years. 1978—1988: New Look In a 1978 Japanese documentary (纪录片) China’s New Look, there was a scene showing Chinese people’s life back then.

Students from Nizhuhe Village prepare to take a sightseeing elevator on their way to school in Puli Township, Xuanwei City, Yunnan Province, on Feb. 23, 2025. Feb. 23 is the day for students of Guanzhaiwan Primary School in Puli Township to report for the new term. Children from Nizhuhe Village packed their bags and set off for school. What sets them apart from other students is their mode of transportation. Nizhuhe Village is a small village lying in a deep valley carved by the Nizhu River meandering (蜿蜒) from south to north. In the past, the villagers’ shortest route from the valley floor to the mountaintop was a dangerous cliffside path, a journey that took nearly six hours for a round trip. Children and their parents living here had to make this hard trek at least once every ten days. This undated file photo shows children of Nizhuhe Village climbing a cliffside path on their way to school in Puli Township, Xuanwei City, Yunnan Province. In 2022, a significant change came to this challenging journey. A local scenic area along the Nizhu River was officially completed and began operations. A 268-metre-high sightseeing elevator and a cable car system were put into use, offering free access to the villagers of Nizhuhe and nearby areas. This provided the children with a direct “cloud shuttle” to the mountaintop. Nowadays, thanks to the sightseeing shuttle vehicles, elevator and cable cars of the scenic spot, the children's journey to school was shortened to just half an hour. 1．When was the local scenic area along the Nizhu River officially completed? A．In 2022. B．In 2023. C．In 2024. D．In 2025. 2．What can we infer from the passage? A．The cliffside path is still the main way for the children to go to school.

My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, villagers had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the fruit production was still low because the area was short of water. One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied. Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother. One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canals ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project ( 水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production by using clean water in the river. I want to thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city.

Nicknamed “packbasket special line”, the subway has provided local farmers near the town with a wider channel for selling their vegetables since its opening in 2022. The vegetables can be sold at higher prices in the city now. Every morning, these special passengers crowd into Shichuan Town Station of the line. They carry baskets filled with fresh vegetables on their backs, shoulders or even small trolleys with wheels. To help them, the station now opens five minutes earlier, at 6:10 every day. The station staff also offer help, such as helping with the baskets and guiding them to get into the station quickly and orderly. An old couple in their 80s who take the subway to sell vegetables, thinks the opening of the subway line brings them convenience. In Chongqing, old people over 65 can take the subway for free. The husband also says, “It took us over one hour to reach the city before. Now, by taking the subway, we can get there in less than 30 minutes.” Some people say that these farmers should be stopped from carrying large vegetable baskets onto the subway in the mornings and evenings, as this could cause inconvenience to other passengers hurrying to work. But Chongqing Rail Transit says that passengers are allowed to carry things with the length, width, and height less than 2 metres and the weight less than 20 kilos. 1．Which subway line is the “packbasket special line”? 2．When does the Shichuan Town Station open every day? 3．What conveniences does the subway bring to the old couple? 4．Why are some people against the farmers carrying vegetable baskets onto the subway? 5．What do you think of the “packbasket special line”? And why do you think so? What would you say about Shenzhen? Young, modern, exciting...these all seem to be the right words. Forty years ago, Shenzhen was just a small fishing village. On Aug. 26, 1980, it became China’s first Special Economic Zone. Everything has changed since then. People built tall buildings. On Sept. 3, 1984, Shenzhen finished building the International Foreign Trade Center. It was China’s tallest building at that time. The world was surprised at how fast people built it. It took only three days to build one new floor. This speed later became known as “Shenzhen speed” and showed the city’s high efficiency (效率). The city also got the nickname of China’s “Silicon Valley”. In the 1990s, Shenzhen decided to make technology one of its main industries. Many companies that make electronic products, such as TVs, computers and mobile phones, have come to Shenzhen. The city is home to many large tech companies, including Huawei and Tencent. Because of its fast development, people from all over China came to Shenzhen to make their dreams come true. According to the latest official statistics (统计数据), of about 17.7 million people in Shenzhen, 70 percent were born or grew up elsewhere, but no one feels like an outsider. As the famous saying goes, “You become a Shenzhener once you come to Shenzhen.” 1．When did Shenzhen become the first Special Economic Zone in China? 2．Why was the world surprised at the building of the International Foreign Trade Center? 3．Why did Shenzhen get the nickname of China’s “Silicon Valley”? 4．How do people feel when they come to Shenzhen? 5．What do you think is the key to Shenzhen’s success? Why? 五、选词填空 since, take place, leading, as well as,  used to, thanks to, step by step, electric 1 China’s reform and opening up policy, which began at the end of 1978, today’s China isn’t the same as it 2 be about 40 years ago. Great changes have 3 in the country, even in tiny details. Sixty-year-old Wang Hanming remembers in 1985 when he got married to his wife, all they had was a 30-square-metre house with almost no 4 appliances (电器). However, their lives have been moving forward 5 with the development of China’s economy and improvements of their personal income. After moving six times, they now live in a three-story house of over 200 square metres. 6 China opened its door to the world about 40 years ago, its people have been able to learn about different cultures, 7 benefit from science and technology development. The past 40 years have meant a lot to China and the Chinese people. Now we are proud to see that China is playing a 8 role in the world. 六、书面表达 1．假设你的家乡在政府的帮助下，坚持创建美丽新农村，近几年发生了巨大的变化。请以“The Changes in My Hometown”为题，用英语写一篇100词左右的短文（开头已给出，不计入总数），描述你的家乡从过去到现在的变化以及你对未来的期望。 The Changes in My Hometown My hometown has changed a lot over the years. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1．  假设你是李华，你所在城市将举办以“My Country，My Pride”为主题的中学生英语演讲比赛。请你写一篇演讲稿，简要阐述中国这些年在环境 、文化传播以及太空科技方面的发展与变化(至少阐述以上两个方面)，并谈谈你的感受。词数90左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 My Country, My Pride Hi, everyone.
