B When people talk about themselves in English class, they often start with their jobs. “I am a student.” “My father is a worker.” “My mother is a teacher.” After hearing this again and again, you may feel that everyone’s life sounds the same. But a job only tells you how a person makes a living. It doesn’t tell you who the person really is. People choose their hobbies freely. They spend time and energy on them without being asked. That is why hobbies often show a person’s true interests, personality, and even values. My uncle works in an office and spends most of his day in front of a computer. However, on weekends, he wakes up before sunrise to go fishing. He keeps a small notebook and writes down the weather, the place, and the size of every fish he catches. Looking at the notebook, you would never think he is “just an office worker”. I used to think my own hobbies were nothing special. I like repairing old things—broken radios, clocks, even toys. One day, my grandfather saw me working and told me he did the same when he was young, because his family could not pay for new things. Suddenly, my hobby felt like a small bridge between the past and the present. So next time in English class, instead of saying “There are four people in my family” or “My father is a teacher”, try starting with something else. Ask about hobbies, and stories will naturally follow. 54. What does “That” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. People talk about their jobs. B. People choose hobbies by themselves. C. People spend time at work. D. People are asked to introduce themselves. 55. Why does the writer tell the story about himself and his grandfather? A. To show how a hobby can have special meaning. B. To explain how he learned to repair things. C. To show that hobbies are always better than jobs. D. To prove that old skills are still important today. 56. What can we infer according to Paragraph 5? A. They are still living a poor life. B. His hobby brought him and his grandfather closer. C. He and his grandfather no longer repair old things. D. He decided to learn how to build a bridge from his grandfather. 57. What is the best title of the passage? A. Jobs Decide Who We Are B. English Class Should Be More Serious C. Hobbies Tell More Than Jobs D. Everyone Needs a Special Hobby C Mary skipped round the gardens, resting every few minutes. It was a good long skip, but before she had gone half-way she was so breathless and stopped with a little laugh. There was the robin (知更鸟) swaying on a long branch of ivy (常春藤). He had followed her. As Mary skipped toward him, she felt something heavy in her pocket against her at each jump. “You showed me where the key was yesterday,” she said. “You are going to show me the door today!” The robin flew onto the top of the wall and sang a loud, lovely trill (颤音). Nothing is as lovely as a robin when he shows off. Mary had heard much about Magic in her stories, and she always said what happened next was Magic. A gust (阵风) of wind rushed down the walk, strong enough to wave the branches and the ivy hanging from the wall. Mary had stepped close to the robin, and suddenly the wind blows some ivy to drop, and she jumped and caught it in her hand. She had seen something under it—a round knob (把手) covered by leaves. It was the knob of a door. She used her hands to push the leaves away. Even though the ivy was thick, it moved easily like a curtain (窗帘). Mary’s heart started beating fast. The robin continued to sing, as if he were as excited as she was. What was this under her hands which was square and made of iron, with a hole in it? It was the lock of the door closed ten years. She put her hand in her pocket, drew out the key, and found it fitted. She put the key in and turned it with both hands. Then she looked behind her to see if anyone was coming. No one ever did come. She held back the ivy and pushed back the door which opened slowly—slowly. Then she slipped through it, shut it behind her, and stood breathing fast with excitement, wonder, and delight. She was standing inside the secret garden. 58. How did Mary find the door knob hidden under the ivy? A. A gust of wind moved the ivy and blew it away. B. She felt it after pushing all the leaves aside by hand. C. The robin pulled the ivy apart with its claws. D. She followed the robin’s song into the secret garden. 59. How did Mary feel when she touched the iron lock and found the hole in it? A. Calm and patient. B. Afraid and worried. C. Excited and nervous. D. Disappointed and sad. 60. According to the passage which of the following is true？ A. Mary met a friendly robin in the garden. B. Mary got into the secret garden for the first time. C. Mary discovered the hidden door by herself. D. Mary found the key and door at the same time. 61. What did the robin do in the story? A. It did nothing but watch Mary all the time B. It guided Mary to the garden. C. It tried to keep Mary away from the garden. D. It followed Mary’s orders to find the garden. D Far below the ocean’s surface, sunlight slowly disappears. The water becomes colder, darker, and quieter. To humans, the deep-sea area seems empty and lifeless. The deep sea usually refers to ocean areas deeper than 1,000 meters. At that depth, sunlight cannot reach, and plants cannot grow. The pressure is very high, and the temperature is close to freezing. For a long time, people believed that no animals could survive there. But in fact, it is home to many living things. _________. Many deep-sea animals have bodies that help them live in darkness. Some fish have very large eyes to catch even the weakest light. Others have no eyes at all. Instead, they use special senses to feel movement in the water. One of the most surprising abilities is bioluminescence—the ability to produce light. Some animals use light to find food, while others use it to scare enemies or attract mates. In the deep sea, light can mean the difference between life and death. Although humans have explored only a small part of the deep ocean, each new discovery shows that life is more adaptable (适应性强的) than we once believed. 62. What did people think of the deep sea earlier? A. It was warmer than normal water. B. It was full of dangerous animals. C. It could not support life. D. It was brighter than expected. 63. Which heading best fits the blank? A. Why is the deep sea so dangerous to humans? B. How do animals survive in the deep sea? C. Why can’t plants grow in the deep sea？ D. When did humans begin to explore the deep ocean? 64. What is bioluminescence mainly used for in the deep sea? A. To help some animals survive. B. To grow food. C. To attract enemies. D. To change body shape. 65. What does the writer want to show in the last paragraph? A. Humans have fully explored the deep sea. B. Life in the ocean is simple. C. The deep sea is dangerous to humans. D. Life can adapt to the environment. 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题部分 共60分) 五、词汇应用（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。(每空一词) 66. The boys enjoyed ________ (they) at the party last night. 67.

She sees three boys looking at the things inside her time capsule. “Stop! Put the things back. They’re mine!” Jan shouts. But the boys look up and laugh. Then they continue going through the capsule. “Put those things back!” Jan shouts again. A boy with long fair hair looks at her, “Girls aren’t allowed here. This is our land.” Jan points at the time capsule and her things, “And that’s my time capsule. You’re stealing.” The fair-haired boy laughs, “Time capsule? It’s a biscuit tin.” “A biscuit tin with no biscuits inside,” says a boy with glasses. “Tom, I’m hungry.” Jan looks at the boy with curly hair. “Tom? Is that your name? Please give me my things. If you want, I can give you some biscuits in exchange.” “So where are the biscuits?” Tom asks “In my house. The house by the apple tree. The tree where you found my biscuit tin.” Jan answers. “Take us to your house. If you give us some biscuits, you can have the biscuit tin.” Jan nods,” OK.” Jan starts climbing back up the hill. She hears the boys laughing behind her, “She’s mad, Tom.” At the top of the hill, Jan stops suddenly and looks back at them, angry. “Why am I mad?” Tom walks to her. “Because there isn’t any house by the tree. There aren’t any houses near here. The nearest house is Pauly’s and that’s half a mile down the road over there.” Tom points back the way they just came. Now Jan laughs. “I think you’re mad because my house is just over…” Jan points through the trees to her house but there isn’t any house. “…there!” She doesn’t understand. She looks around her to be sure she’s in the right place. It looks right but everything is wrong. Her house’s beautiful garden is a wild piece of land. And the place where her house stood is empty. “What’s happening to me?” Jan says,” Where’s my house?” “I’m sorry. I have to go home,” Tom says. “Don’t go, Tom, I have no place to go.” “Really?

My parents used to live in a large area of land covered by sand. There was very little water and few plants. One evening around 10 o’clock, my mother suddenly started giving birth to me! It was a surprise because I wasn’t meant to be born for weeks. They had to jump in the car and quickly drive to the hospital. It was dark and, worst of all, a huge storm began. Strong winds picked up tiny pieces of sand from the ground. The winds moved these at high-speed, making them very dangerous! In the car, my dad could only see the lines on the road. It took a long time, but they got there in time. When they left the hospital, they saw the paint was taken off the car, and it wouldn’t start again. And that’s why my name is Sandy! 二、单项选择。（共15题，每题1分，共15分） 21. —What ________ terrible weather! —Yes! It is such ________ cold day that you’d better stay at home. A. a ; a B. / ; a C. / ; / D. a ; / 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——多么糟糕的天气啊！——是的！这是如此寒冷的一天，你最好待在家里。 weather是不可数名词，在What引导的感叹句中，不可数名词前不加冠词，所以第一空不填；day是可数名词单数，such修饰单数可数名词时用“such a+形容词+名词”结构，所以第二空填a。 22. —It is not easy to change the old habits, __________ with hard work , I’m sure you can make it. —I’ll try my best. A. but B. and C. or D. so 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——改变旧习惯并不容易，但只要努力，我相信你能做到。——我会尽力的。 but“但是”；and“和；并且”；or“或者；否则”；so“所以”。前半句“改变旧习惯不容易”与后半句“只要努力就能做到”存在转折关系。 23. When you write a letter to thank your teacher, you can end it with “________”. A. To be honest B. As a result C. Yours sincerely D. In a mess 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：当你写信感谢老师时，你可以用“此致 敬礼”来结束。 To be honest老实说；As a result结果；Yours sincerely谨启/敬上（书信结束语）；In a mess杂乱。根据题干“write a letter to thank your teacher”可知，书信结束语常用Yours sincerely，应填Yours sincerely。 24. —I heard you won the speech contest. Congratulations! —Thanks. It was not easy, but I ________ to finish it well. A. tried B. managed C. wanted D. decided 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我听说你赢得了演讲比赛。祝贺你！——谢谢。这并不容易，但我设法完成得很好。 tried尝试；managed设法做到；wanted想要；decided决定。根据“It was not easy, but I...to finish it well.”可知，此处表示“设法”很好地完成了演讲比赛，应填managed。 25. —How could you find Lisa so easily? —She was in a red coat and it stood out clearly ________ the white snow. A. during B. over C. towards D. against 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你怎么能这么容易就找到莉萨？——她穿着一件红外套，在白雪的映衬下很显眼。 考查介词。during在……期间；over在……上方；越过；towards朝；向；against以……为背景；与……相对。题干表示红外套以白雪为背景很显眼。故选D。 26. —Reading English is important. —I think so. Start by reading easy texts and __________ move on to more difficult ones. A. carefully B. badly C. slowly D. correctly 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——读英语很重要。——我也这么认为。从读简单的文本开始，然后慢慢地继续读更难的文本。 carefully仔细地；badly糟糕地；slowly慢慢地；correctly正确地。根据“Start by reading easy texts”和“move on to more difficult ones”可知，学习过程是由易到难，因此需要“慢慢地”过渡。故选C。 27. —What should we do to protect wild animals? —We must stop hunting and build more ________. A. nature reserves B. international stations C. school uniforms D. traffic accidents 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们应该做什么来保护野生动物？——我们必须停止狩猎并建立更多的自然保护区。 nature reserves自然保护区；international stations国际车站；school uniforms校服；traffic accidents交通事故。根据问句“What should we do to protect wild animals?”可知，答语应提出保护动物的具体措施，建立自然保护区符合语境，其余选项与保护动物无关。 28. — ________ does this bag of rice weigh? —Fifty kilos. A. How heavy B. How much C. How many D. How long 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这袋米有多重？——50公斤。 考查疑问词辨析。How heavy多重，询问重量，但通常直接问“How heavy is…?；How much多少，多少钱，询问数量（与不可数名词搭配）或价格；How many多少，询问可数名词的数量；How long多长，询问时间或长度。根据答语“Fifty kilos”（重量）可知此处提问重量。对重量提问可用句式What’s the weight of...；How much does...weigh?及How heavy is...？故选B。 29. —Which city is ________than Guangzhou, Shanghai or Beijing ? —Beijing is, I think. A. larger B. the larger C. largest D. the largest 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——哪个城市比广州更大，上海还是北京？——我认为是北京。 than表明此处应用形容词的比较级，形容词最高级不能与than连用，排除C、D选项；比较级前通常不加定冠词the，排除B选项，larger符合题意。 30. —What action will you ________ the wild animals? —I will let more people know the importance of protecting them. A. take helping B. take to help C. do helping D. do to help 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：—你将采取什么行动来帮助野生动物？—我将让更多人知道重要性。 固定搭配take action意为“采取行动”，因此动词选用take，排除 C、D 选项；此处表示采取行动的目的是帮助野生动物，应用动词不定式表目的，即to help，排除 A 选项。故选 B。 31. —Why was the teacher so angry? —When he came into the classroom, the students ________ loudly. A. talked B. were talking C. are talking D. talk 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——老师为什么这么生气？——当他走进教室时，学生们正在大声说话。 根据“When he came into the classroom”可知，此处表示当老师走进教室的那一刻，学生们正在进行的动作，所以用过去进行时，应填were talking。 32. —What does your new English teacher look like? —She has long hair in a ________ and wears glasses. A. ponytail B. scarf C. uniform D. hat 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你的新英语老师长什么样？——她留着长发，扎着马尾辫，戴着眼镜。 ponytail马尾辫；scarf围巾；uniform制服；hat帽子。根据“She has long hair in a…”可知，此处描述的是发型，in a ponytail意为“扎着马尾辫”，符合语境。 33. — What’s the structure of the sentence “The girl with glasses is listening carefully”? — It’s________. A. S+V+P B. S+V+O C. S+V D. S+V+O+O 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——句子“戴眼镜的女孩正在认真听”的结构是什么？——它是主谓结构。 分析句子可知，The girl是主语，with glasses是定语修饰主语，is listening是谓语，carefully是状语修饰谓语，句子中没有宾语或表语，所以这句话的结构是“主+谓”。 34. —Some words in the poems rhyme. —Yes, we can put _________ in the blank of the following poem. On the Stork Tower Wang Zhihuan The sun beyond the mountain glows. The Yellow River seaward flows. You can enjoy a grander sight. By climbing to a greater ________. A. height B. floor C. mountain D. top 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——诗中有些单词押韵。——是的，我们可以把“高度”填入下面这首诗的空白处。 height高度；floor地板；mountain山；top顶部。根据“Some words in the poems rhyme.”可知空缺处单词需与第三句末尾的“sight”押韵，“sight”发音为/saɪt/，“height”发音为/haɪt/，两者押韵，且符合原诗“更上一层楼”的语境。 35. —I think the film is an interesting one. —________. I look forward to seeing it again. A. I can’t agree with you B. You missed it C. I don’t think you are right D. You said it 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我认为这部电影很有趣。——你说对了。我期待再看一遍。 I can’t agree with you我不同意；You missed it你错过了；I don’t think you are right我认为你不对；You said it你说得对。根据答语后句“I look forward to seeing it again.”可知，说话人期待再看一遍，说明同意对方认为电影有趣的观点。D项表示赞同。 三、完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，计15分) 阅读下面短文，从文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 In the age of smartphones and social media, many people think “friends” are just names on a screen. ___36___ for 14-year-old Wang Yu, a true friend is someone who stands by you, even when you’re not ___37___.

A. developing B. finding C. sharing D. changing 45. A. Chinese B. Maths C. English D. Science 46. A. ask B. teach C. tell D. help 47. A. follow B. forget C. improve D. stop 48. A. wonder B. believe C. doubt D. fear 49. A. expensive B. important C. difficult D. interesting 50. A. playing B. working C. chatting D. studying 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. C 40. D 41. A 42. D 43. B 44. C 45. C 46. D 47. A 48. B 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了14岁的王宇和李佳在机器人夏令营相识，通过互相帮助的真实经历，诠释了真正的友谊在于陪伴与支持，而非停留在屏幕上的数字互动。 36题详解】 句意：但对于14岁的王宇来说，真正的朋友是那个站在你身边的人，即使你不在线。 前文提到许多人认为朋友只是屏幕上的名字，此处与王宇的观点形成对比，应用But表示转折。Though“虽然”、Because“因为”、So“所以”，均不符合对比逻辑。 【37题详解】 句意：但对于14岁的王宇来说，真正的朋友是那个站在你身边的人，即使你不在线。 根据文章开头的“smartphones and social media”及后文对数字互动的讨论，此处表示“不在线”的状态，应用on line。in line“排队”、on time“准时”、in time“及时”，均不符合网络语境。 38题详解】 句意：王宇在去年一个面向机器人爱好者的夏令营里遇到了李佳。 根据后文“discussing how to improve their robot models”可知，两人都是“机器人”爱好者，应用robot。smartphone“智能手机”、media“媒体”、screen“屏幕”，均与夏令营讨论机器人模型的语境不符。 【39题详解】 句意：一个月前，王宇为学校比赛准备的机器人项目面临了一个问题。 face a problem为固定搭配，意为“面临问题”。solved“解决”、found“发现”、avoided“避免”，均不符合项目出现困难的含义。 【40题详解】 句意：他感到很无助，甚至想要放弃。 根据前文电路板损坏且无钱购买，他应是感到“无助的”，应用helpless。meaningful“有意义的”、meaningless“无意义的”、helpful“有帮助的”，均不符合困境中的消极情绪。 【41题详解】 句意：她省下自己的零花钱买了一块新电路板，第二天就送到了王宇家。 根据语境，李佳用自己的钱购买物品，应用saved表示“省下、攒下”。lent“借出”、borrowed“借入”、counted“数”，均不符合她主动出资帮助的行为。 【42题详解】 句意：“我知道这个项目对你有多重要，”李佳说。 此处李佳对王宇说话，应用you表示“你”。him“他”、her“她”、me“我”，均指代错误。 【43题详解】 句意：“我们是朋友，朋友是互相帮助的，而不仅仅是在网上聊天。” 根据前文李佳实际帮助的行为与网上聊天对比，应用just表示“仅仅、只是”。always“总是”、even“甚至”、ever“曾经”，均不符合强调对比的语境。 【44题详解】 句意：在那之后，王宇意识到真正的友谊不在于分享相同的爱好。 根据前文两人因机器人相识，但真正让友谊深厚的是困难时的相助，所以此处表示友谊不只是“分享”爱好，应用sharing。developing“发展”、finding“发现”、changing“改变”，均不符合语境。 【45题详解】 句意：上周，李佳在英语考试上遇到了困难。 根据后文“helped her practice English speaking”可知，她遇到困难的是“英语”考试，应用English。Chinese“语文”、Maths“数学”、Science“科学”，均不符合练习口语的提示。 【46题详解】 句意：“现在轮到我来帮助她了。” 李佳帮助了王宇，此处王宇表示要回报，应用help。ask“问”、teach“教”、tell“告诉”，其中teach虽与后文学习计划相关，但help更直接呼应“互相帮助”的主题。 【47题详解】 句意：王宇和李佳的友谊表明，真正的朋友依然遵循着古老的方式——关心、支持，并在彼此身边。 follow the old ways意为“遵循古老的方式”。forget“忘记”、improve“改进”、stop“停止”，均不符合他们践行传统友谊价值观的含义。 【48题详解】 句意：他们相信，无论科技变得多么先进，朋友的善意和帮助永远比任何在线消息都更重要。 全文对友谊表示肯定，此处表示他们“相信”这一道理，应用believe。wonder“想知道”、doubt“怀疑”、fear“害怕”，均不符合积极的信念。 【49题详解】 句意：他们相信，无论科技变得多么先进，朋友的善意和帮助永远比任何在线消息都更重要。 本文主题强调真实友谊的价值，此处表示“更重要的”，应用important。expensive“昂贵的”、difficult“困难的”、interesting“有趣的”，均不符合对友谊价值的评价。 【50题详解】 句意：他们中的许多人现在花更少的时间在社交媒体上聊天，而花更多的时间在现实生活中与朋友一起出去玩。 根据前文“social media”及数字互动的话题，此处表示“聊天”，应用chatting。playing“玩”、working“工作”、studying“学习”，均不符合社交媒体上的主要互动方式。 A Here is the poster of the “Animal of the Week”. Animal of the Week Name: mole Lifetime: 2~3 years Living Place: underground Size: 15~20cm Weight: 70g~130g Favourite Food: earthworms Natural Enemy (天敌): foxes Fun Facts: ◆They have small eyes and don’t see very well. ◆They have good hearing. ◆They can dig tunnels just like swimming through the sea. 51. What’s the animal on the poster “Animal of the Week”? A. The tiger. B. The mole. C. The fox. D. The dog. 52. Which of the following facts can best describe this kind of animals? ①They live under the ground.   ②They have good eyesight. ③ They are afraid of foxes.   ④Earthworms are their favorite food. A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③ 53. Where can we probably see the poster? A. In a sports newspaper. B. In a storybook. C. In a nature magazine. D. In a geography book. 【答案】51. B 52. C 53. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇介绍性文章，主要围绕“本周之动物”海报展开，介绍了鼹鼠这种动物的相关信息，包括名称、寿命、居住地、体型、体重、喜爱的食物、天敌以及一些有趣的事实等。 【51题详解】 第一段明确提到“Name: mole”，这直接说明了海报上“本周之动物”是鼹鼠。 【52题详解】 文中“Living Place: underground”表明它们生活在地下，即①正确；“Natural Enemy (天敌): foxes”可知它们害怕狐狸，也就是③正确；“Favourite Food: earthworms”可知蚯蚓是它们最喜欢的食物，即④正确；而“They have small eyes and don’t see very well.”表明它们视力不好，并非②中说的视力好。所以①③④能最好地描述这种动物。 【53题详解】 文章主要介绍的是鼹鼠这种动物的相关信息，属于自然范畴。A选项“体育报纸”主要涉及体育相关内容；B选项“故事书”主要是讲述故事；D选项“地理书”主要侧重地理知识；而C选项“自然杂志”会包含对各种动物的介绍等内容，所以在这类杂志上最有可能看到该海报。 B When people talk about themselves in English class, they often start with their jobs. “I am a student.” “My father is a worker.” “My mother is a teacher.” After hearing this again and again, you may feel that everyone’s life sounds the same. But a job only tells you how a person makes a living. It doesn’t tell you who the person really is. People choose their hobbies freely. They spend time and energy on them without being asked. That is why hobbies often show a person’s true interests, personality, and even values. My uncle works in an office and spends most of his day in front of a computer. However, on weekends, he wakes up before sunrise to go fishing. He keeps a small notebook and writes down the weather, the place, and the size of every fish he catches. Looking at the notebook, you would never think he is “just an office worker”. I used to think my own hobbies were nothing special. I like repairing old things—broken radios, clocks, even toys. One day, my grandfather saw me working and told me he did the same when he was young, because his family could not pay for new things. Suddenly, my hobby felt like a small bridge between the past and the present. So next time in English class, instead of saying “There are four people in my family” or “My father is a teacher”, try starting with something else. Ask about hobbies, and stories will naturally follow. 54. What does “That” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. People talk about their jobs. B. People choose hobbies by themselves. C. People spend time at work. D. People are asked to introduce themselves. 55. Why does the writer tell the story about himself and his grandfather? A. To show how a hobby can have special meaning. B. To explain how he learned to repair things. C. To show that hobbies are always better than jobs. D. To prove that old skills are still important today. 56. What can we infer according to Paragraph 5? A. They are still living a poor life. B. His hobby brought him and his grandfather closer. C. He and his grandfather no longer repair old things. D. He decided to learn how to build a bridge from his grandfather. 57. What is the best title of the passage? A. Jobs Decide Who We Are B. English Class Should Be More Serious C. Hobbies Tell More Than Jobs D. Everyone Needs a Special Hobby 【答案】54. B 55. A 56. B 57. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了工作只是表明一个人如何谋生。它不能说明这个人是谁。一个人的爱好往往能显示出一个人真正的兴趣、个性和价值观。 【54题详解】 第三段指出“People choose their hobbies freely.”，人们自由选择自己的爱好，第三段中的“That”指的是人们自己选择爱好。 【55题详解】 第五段指出“Suddenly, my hobby felt like a small bridge between the past and the present.”，突然间，我的爱好就像一座连接过去和现在的小桥。作者讲述了他自己和祖父的故事是为了展示一个爱好是如何有特殊的意义的。 【56题详解】 第五段指出“I like repairing old things—broken radios, clocks, even toys. One day, my grandfather saw me working and told me he did the same when he was young, because his family could not pay for new things. Suddenly, my hobby felt like a small bridge between the past and the present.”，作者和祖父都喜欢修理旧东西，所以作者的爱好拉近了他和祖父的距离。 【57题详解】 第二段指出“But a job only tells you how a person makes a living. It doesn’t tell you who the person really is.”和第三段指出“That is why hobbies often show a person’s true interests, personality, and even values.”，但是工作只能告诉你一个人如何谋生。它不能说明这个人是谁。这就是为什么业余爱好往往显示一个人的真正的兴趣、个性和价值观。即爱好比工作更能说明问题。 C Mary skipped round the gardens, resting every few minutes. It was a good long skip, but before she had gone half-way she was so breathless and stopped with a little laugh. There was the robin (知更鸟) swaying on a long branch of ivy (常春藤). He had followed her. As Mary skipped toward him, she felt something heavy in her pocket against her at each jump. “You showed me where the key was yesterday,” she said. “You are going to show me the door today!” The robin flew onto the top of the wall and sang a loud, lovely trill (颤音). Nothing is as lovely as a robin when he shows off. Mary had heard much about Magic in her stories, and she always said what happened next was Magic. A gust (阵风) of wind rushed down the walk, strong enough to wave the branches and the ivy hanging from the wall. Mary had stepped close to the robin, and suddenly the wind blows some ivy to drop, and she jumped and caught it in her hand. She had seen something under it—a round knob (把手) covered by leaves. It was the knob of a door. She used her hands to push the leaves away. Even though the ivy was thick, it moved easily like a curtain (窗帘). Mary’s heart started beating fast. The robin continued to sing, as if he were as excited as she was. What was this under her hands which was square and made of iron, with a hole in it? It was the lock of the door closed ten years. She put her hand in her pocket, drew out the key, and found it fitted. She put the key in and turned it with both hands. Then she looked behind her to see if anyone was coming. No one ever did come. She held back the ivy and pushed back the door which opened slowly—slowly. Then she slipped through it, shut it behind her, and stood breathing fast with excitement, wonder, and delight. She was standing inside the secret garden. 58. How did Mary find the door knob hidden under the ivy? A. A gust of wind moved the ivy and blew it away. B. She felt it after pushing all the leaves aside by hand. C. The robin pulled the ivy apart with its claws. D. She followed the robin’s song into the secret garden. 59. How did Mary feel when she touched the iron lock and found the hole in it? A. Calm and patient. B. Afraid and worried. C. Excited and nervous. D. Disappointed and sad. 60. According to the passage, which of the following is true？ A. Mary met a friendly robin in the garden. B. Mary got into the secret garden for the first time. C. Mary discovered the hidden door by herself. D. Mary found the key and door at the same time. 61. What did the robin do in the story? A. It did nothing but watch Mary all the time B. It guided Mary to the garden. C. It tried to keep Mary away from the garden. D. It followed Mary’s orders to find the garden. 【答案】58. A 59. C 60. B 61. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了玛丽在知更鸟的引导下，发现被常春藤遮住的园门把手，并用钥匙打开了一个尘封十年的秘密花园的故事。 【58题详解】 根据文章第六段“A gust of wind rushed down the walk... suddenly the wind blows some ivy to drop, and she jumped and caught it in her hand. She had seen something under it—a round knob covered by leaves.”可知，一阵风吹落了部分常春藤，玛丽抓住了掉落的藤蔓，从而看到了被叶子遮住的把手。 【59题详解】 根据文章第九段“Mary’s heart started beating fast.”以及后文她发现锁孔后双手转动钥匙的动作，可知她此时既兴奋又紧张。 【60题详解】 根据文章最后两段“She slipped through it, shut it behind her, and stood breathing fast with excitement, wonder, and delight. She was standing inside the secret garden.”可知，这是玛丽第一次进入秘密花园。 【61题详解】 根据文中玛丽对知更鸟说的话“You showed me where the key was yesterday... You are going to show me the door today!”以及知更鸟随后飞到墙头歌唱，并最终引导玛丽发现门把手的过程，可知知更鸟起到了引导玛丽找到花园的作用。 D Far below the ocean’s surface, sunlight slowly disappears. The water becomes colder, darker, and quieter. To humans, the deep-sea area seems empty and lifeless. The deep sea usually refers to ocean areas deeper than 1,000 meters. At that depth, sunlight cannot reach, and plants cannot grow. The pressure is very high, and the temperature is close to freezing. For a long time, people believed that no animals could survive there. But in fact, it is home to many living things. _________. Many deep-sea animals have bodies that help them live in darkness. Some fish have very large eyes to catch even the weakest light. Others have no eyes at all. Instead, they use special senses to feel movement in the water. One of the most surprising abilities is bioluminescence—the ability to produce light. Some animals use light to find food, while others use it to scare enemies or attract mates. In the deep sea, light can mean the difference between life and death. Although humans have explored only a small part of the deep ocean, each new discovery shows that life is more adaptable (适应性强的) than we once believed. 62. What did people think of the deep sea earlier? A. It was warmer than normal water. B. It was full of dangerous animals. C. It could not support life. D. It was brighter than expected. 63. Which heading best fits the blank? A. Why is the deep sea so dangerous to humans? B. How do animals survive in the deep sea? C. Why can’t plants grow in the deep sea？ D. When did humans begin to explore the deep ocean? 64. What is bioluminescence mainly used for in the deep sea? A. To help some animals survive. B. To grow food. C. To attract enemies. D. To change body shape. 65. What does the writer want to show in the last paragraph? A. Humans have fully explored the deep sea. B. Life in the ocean is simple. C. The deep sea is dangerous to humans. D. Life can adapt to the environment. 【答案】62. C 63. B 64. A 65. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了深海的环境特征、人类对深海的认知变化，以及深海生物的生存适应能力，展现了生命极强的环境适应性。 【62题详解】 第二段明确指出“For a long time, people believed that no animals could survive there.”，这直接说明早期人们认为深海无法支撑生命。 【63题详解】 空格后段落详细介绍了深海动物的多种生存方式：部分鱼类用大眼睛捕捉微弱光线，部分用特殊感官感知水流，部分用生物发光觅食、御敌、求偶，核心围绕“深海动物如何生存”展开。 【64题详解】 第三段说明“Some animals use light to find food, while others use it to scare enemies or attract mates. In the deep sea, light can mean the difference between life and death.”，可见生物发光的核心作用是帮助深海动物生存。 【65题详解】 最后一段明确提到“each new discovery shows that life is more adaptable (适应性强的) than we once believed”，直接点明作者想表达的核心：生命能够适应环境。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题部分 共60分) 五、词汇应用（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。(每空一词) 66. The boys enjoyed ________ (they) at the party last night. 【答案】themselves 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨晚男孩们在派对上玩得很开心。此处为固定搭配enjoy oneself，表示“玩得开心、过得愉快”，主语The boys是复数，所以用themselves。 67. Mr. Green was happy because we read all these words ________ (correct). 【答案】correctly 【解析】 【详解】句意：格林先生很开心，因为我们正确地读出了所有的单词。空格处修饰动词read,应该用副词。correct的副词形式为correctly。故填correctly。 68. Jane has read over 20 books, ________ novels, poetry and plays. (include) 【答案】including 【解析】 【详解】句意：简已经读了20多本书，包括小说、诗歌和戏剧。此处需要一个介词来引出列举的内容，将动词include变为介词including，意为“包括”，用来补充说明书籍的类型。 69. Come on! If you try your best and never give up, nothing is ________ (possible). 【答案】impossible 【解析】 【详解】句意：加油！如果你尽力，永不放弃，没有什么是不可能的。根据“If you try your best and never give up”可知，如果你尽力并不放弃，就没有什么是不可能的，impossible“不可能的”，形容词作表语。故填impossible。 70. The weather report says it will be much __________ (snow) tomorrow. 【答案】snowier 【解析】 【详解】句意：天气预报说明天雪会下得更大。be动词后接形容词作表语，much用来修饰形容词比较级，表示“……得多”，需将snow变为形容词snowy，再取其比较级snowier。 71. His present was so expensive that I couldn’t _________ (接受) it. 【答案】accept 【解析】 【详解】句意：他的礼物太贵重了，我无法接受。“接受”对应的英文是accept，是动词，情态动词couldn’t后跟动词原形。 72. Max wasn’t ________ (知道) of the danger till the policeman told him. 【答案】aware 【解析】 【详解】句意：直到警察告诉他，马克斯才知道有危险。根据“Max wasn’t…of”以及汉语提示可知，此处是固定短语“be aware of”，意为“知道；意识到”。故填aware。 73. The meeting was a big ________ (成功) for the parents. 【答案】success 【解析】 【详解】句意：这次会议对父母来说是一次巨大的成功。空格前有不定冠词a和形容词big，因此空格需要填“成功”的名词单数形式。 “成功”对应的英文名词是success，此处success表示“一件成功的事”，属于可数名词。 74. He had a wide mouth and ________ (幽默的) eyes. 【答案】humorous 【解析】 【详解】句意：他有一张大嘴巴和幽默的灰色眼睛。根据中文提示“幽默的”填写英文单词，用于修饰名词“eyes”。“幽默的”对应的英文形容词是“humorous”。 75. ________ (政府) around the world are now working together to solve the problem. 【答案】Governments 【解析】 【详解】句意：全世界的政府现在正在共同努力解决这个问题。根据“around the world”可知，此处指世界范围的多个政府，用复数形式，且句首首字母大写，“政府”的英文为Government，其复数为Governments。故填Governments。 六、阅读表达（共5题；每题2分，计10分） 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每个回答不超过8个词） When Jan comes to the old building, she hears excited voices from inside. She sees three boys looking at the things inside her time capsule. “Stop! Put the things back. They’re mine!” Jan shouts. But the boys look up and laugh. Then they continue going through the capsule. “Put those things back!” Jan shouts again. A boy with long fair hair looks at her, “Girls aren’t allowed here. This is our land.” Jan points at the time capsule and her things, “And that’s my time capsule. You’re stealing.” The fair-haired boy laughs, “Time capsule? It’s a biscuit tin.” “A biscuit tin with no biscuits inside,” says a boy with glasses. “Tom, I’m hungry.” Jan looks at the boy with curly hair. “Tom? Is that your name? Please give me my things. If you want, I can give you some biscuits in exchange.” “So where are the biscuits?” Tom asks. “In my house. The house by the apple tree. The tree where you found my biscuit tin.” Jan answers. “Take us to your house. If you give us some biscuits, you can have the biscuit tin.” Jan nods,” OK.” Jan starts climbing back up the hill. She hears the boys laughing behind her, “She’s mad, Tom.” At the top of the hill, Jan stops suddenly and looks back at them, angry. “Why am I mad?” Tom walks to her. “Because there isn’t any house by the tree. There aren’t any houses near here. The nearest house is Pauly’s and that’s half a mile down the road over there.” Tom points back the way they just came. Now Jan laughs. “I think you’re mad because my house is just over…” Jan points through the trees to her house but there isn’t any house. “…there!” She doesn’t understand. She looks around her to be sure she’s in the right place. It looks right but everything is wrong. Her house’s beautiful garden is a wild piece of land. And the place where her house stood is empty. “What’s happening to me?” Jan says,” Where’s my house?” “I’m sorry. I have to go home,” Tom says. “Don’t go, Tom, I have no place to go.” “Really? Then come with me. You can stay at my house tonight.” 76. What is Jan’s time capsule? ____________________________________________ 77. Which boy is Tom? ____________________________________________ 78. How does Jan feel when she hears the boys laughing behind her? ____________________________________________ 79. Why do the boys think Jan is mad? ____________________________________________ 80. What may Jan do at last? ____________________________________________ 【答案】76. It’s a biscuit tin. 77. The boy with curly hair 78. Angry. 79. Because there isn’t any house by the tree. 80. Jan will go to Tom’s house. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了女孩Jan发现自己的时间胶囊（饼干罐）被三个男孩私自翻看，与他们交涉并约定用饼干交换，带他们回家时却发现房子离奇消失，最终被男孩Tom邀请去他家暂住的故事。 【76题详解】 文中第五段明确提到“The fair-haired boy laughs, ‘Time capsule? It’s a biscuit tin.’”，因此可直接提取原文信息得出答案。 【77题详解】 文中第七段提到“Jan looks at the boy with curly hair. ‘Tom? Is that your name? Please give me my things.’”，直接点明了Tom的外貌特征，据此可确定答案。 【78题详解】 文中倒数第九段明确描述“At the top of the hill Jan stops suddenly and looks back at them, angry.”，直接给出了Jan的情绪，可直接提取答案。 【79题详解】 文中倒数第七段Tom直接说明了理由“Because there isn’t any house by the tree. There aren’t any houses near here. The nearest house is Pauly’s and that’s half a mile down the road over there.”，可直接提取答案。 【80题详解】 文章结尾Tom提出“Really? Then come with me. You can stay at my house tonight.”，结合前文Jan发现自己的房子消失、无家可归的处境，可合理推断Jan会接受Tom的邀请，去他家暂住。 七、缺词填空(每小题1分,共10分)（每空一词） 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。在标有题号的横线上，完整写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。 As the 2026 Year of the Horse is coming, horse dolls have become hot in China.

My parents used to live in a large area of land covered by sand. There was very little water and few plants. One, even around ten o'clock, my mother suddenly started giving birth. To me, that was a surprise because I wasn't meant to be born for weeks. They had to jump in the car and quickly drive to the hospital. IT was dark, and worst of all, a huge storm began. Strong winds picked up tiny pieces of sin from the ground. The winds move these at high speed, making them very dangerous in the car. My dad could only see the lines on the road. He took a long time, but they got there in time. When they left the hospital, they saw the painting was taken off the car, and IT wouldn't start again. And that's why my name is Cindy.
