A. How B. What an C. What D. How an 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：无锡鼋头渚的樱花多迷人啊！ How 用于引导以形容词/副词开头的感叹句；What an 用于引导以可数名词单数（元音音素开头）开头的感叹句；What 用于引导以名词开头的感叹句；How an 为错误表达；本句中心词是形容词“attractive”，需用“How + 形容词 + 主语 + 谓语！”的感叹句结构，“How”符合语法要求，应填How。 2.

A. sense B. theme C. result D. chance 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：无锡的樱花给人们带来早春的感觉。 sense感觉；theme主题；result结果；chance机会。根据语境可知，樱花给人们带来早春的感觉，应填sense。 3. —Many tourists would like to visit Wuxi for its beautiful Yuantouzhu. —Yes.

A. either B. both C. none 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在无锡，人们可以把车停在街道的任意一边。 either两者中的任意一个；both两者都；none三者或三者以上都不。句中“side”为单数形式且街道只有两边，表达可以停在任意一边的含义，应填either。 6. — With Xiaohongshu, we know exactly where to “da ka”! —That’s right. We ________ get a guide any more. A. can’t B. shouldn’t C. mustn’t D. needn’t 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——有了小红书，我们就清楚知道该去哪里打卡了！——没错。我们再也不需要找导游了。 can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该；mustn’t禁止；needn’t不必，不需要。根据前句“With Xiaohongshu, we know exactly where to ‘da ka’!”可知，有了小红书就清楚打卡地点，因此再也“不需要”导游了，应填needn’t。 7. Let’s Go Now is a popular TV program. It shows ________ stories of stars travelling around China. A. real-life B. all-time C. well-paid D. high-speed 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：《现在就出发》是一档受欢迎的电视节目，它展示了明星们在中国旅行的真实故事。 考查复合形容词辨析。real-life真实的；all-time空前的；well-paid高薪的；high-speed高速的。根据“Let’s Go Now is a popular TV program. It shows…stories of stars travelling around China.”可知，电视节目通常展示明星旅行中的真实经历，因此用“real-life”修饰“stories”最符合逻辑。故选A。 8. Travelling is a good way to experience life ________ school and learn about the world. A. over B. through C. beyond D. past 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：旅行是体验校园之外的生活、了解世界的好方式。 over在……上方；through穿过；beyond超出；past经过。根据“Travelling is a good way to experience life”可知表达学校范围以外的生活，应填beyond。 9. —Amy, I hear you are going to spend the summer holiday abroad. —I did consider it, but I have ________ the plan. Travelling around China means more to me.

A. if you have gone to Yuantouzhu B. when did you go to Yuantouzhu C. if you have been to Yuantouzhu D. when have you been to Yuantouzhu 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——利奥，我知道你喜欢旅行。你能告诉我你是否去过鼋头渚吗？——是的，艾米。你不记得我去年春天给你的那个樱花钥匙圈了吗？ if you have gone to Yuantouzhu是否去了鼋头渚（未返回）；when did you go to Yuantouzhu什么时候去了鼋头渚（疑问语序）；if you have been to Yuantouzhu是否去过鼋头渚（已返回，强调经历）；when have you been to Yuantouzhu什么时候去过鼋头渚（疑问语序）。根据答语“the key ring of cherry blossoms I gave you last spring”可知，对方去过鼋头渚，因此问句应询问是否去过，用if引导宾语从句。have been to表示“去过某地”，符合经历询问；have gone to表示“去了某地未回”，不符合语境。B和D为疑问语序，宾语从句应用陈述语序。应填if you have been to Yuantouzhu。 11. What does the message on the right say? Amy Do you know today’s History homework? I’ve forgotten to write it down in my notebook. Leo A. Leo wants to copy Amy’s History homework. B. Leo doesn’t want to do the History homework. C. Leo wants to know what the History homework is. D. Leo has forgotten to finish his History homework. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：右边的信息说了什么？“艾米 你知道今天的历史作业吗？我忘记把它记在笔记本上了。 利奥” 根据留言中“Do you know today’s History homework? I’ve forgotten to write it down in my notebook.”可知，里奥忘记记下作业，想知道作业内容。 12. If it ________ rainy this weekend, our school trip to enjoy cherry blossoms will be put off. A. will be B. is C. was D. has been 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果这个周末下雨，我们的学校赏樱之旅就要被推迟了。 will be一般将来时；is一般现在时；was一般过去时；has been现在完成时。这是if引导的条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”的规则，即从句用一般现在时表示将来，主句用一般将来时。从句主语it是第三人称单数，因此用is。 13. Life is like travelling. We make plans, but we never know how it will ________ in the end. A. turn out B. hand out C. put out D. carry out 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：人生就像旅行。我们制定计划，但我们永远不知道最终结果会如何。 turn out结果是；hand out分发；put out熄灭；carry out执行。根据“we never know how it will...in the end”可知此处表达不知道最终结果如何，应填turn out。 14. —Oh, no.

Don’t burn the candle at both ends B. Many hands make light work C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket D.

We have to ____21____ that it’s OK to not be good at something. Hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to be great at ____22____, from study to work.

B 24. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者的写作爱好历程，从开始创作到因不自信搁置，最终领悟爱好的本质是快乐而非优秀。 【15题详解】 句意：几个小时后，我完成了我的第一篇短篇小说。 上文提到作者打开平板电脑构思恐怖故事，此处表示几小时后完成了第一篇短篇故事，completed“完成”，符合语境。read“阅读”，forgot“忘记”，studied“学习”，均与创作故事的语境不符。 【16题详解】 句意：从那以后，我写了很多故事，尽管大多数都没有写完。 上文提到写了很多故事，空后表示大部分未完成，存在转折让步关系，though“尽管”，符合逻辑。as“当……，因为”，because“因为”，so“所以”，均不能表达让步逻辑。 【17题详解】 句意：我也注意到我这个年纪的人写得有多好，我开始对分享自己的作品感到不那么自信了。 上文提到看到同龄人写作水平很高，因此自己不再自信分享作品，confident“自信的”，符合语境。excited“兴奋的”，worried“担忧的”，nervous“紧张的”，均不符合此处心理变化逻辑。 【18题详解】 句意：通常，爱好一开始是有趣的事，是一种和朋友家人打发时间，或是摆脱忙碌生活的方式。 上文提到爱好是打发时间的方式，此处表示逃离忙碌生活，get away from“摆脱，逃离”，符合搭配。catch up with“赶上”，look forward to“期待”，give in to“屈服于”，均与语境不符。 【19题详解】 句意：然而，我想成为一名更好作家的愿望从未得到满足，所以我会一次停笔好几个月。 上文提到想成为更好的作家，此处表示愿望未被满足，met“满足”，符合搭配。made“制作”，held“持有”，shared“分享”，均不能与wish构成合理搭配。 【20题详解】 句意：当一种爱好感觉像一件琐事时，它就失去了乐趣。 上文提到爱好变成琐事，因此会失去乐趣，loses“失去”，符合语境。doubles“加倍”，spreads“传播”，shows“展示”，均与语境不符。 【21题详解】 句意：我们必须接受，不擅长某件事是没关系的。 下文阐述不擅长某事也正常，此处表示要接受这个事实，accept“接受”，符合语境。discuss“讨论”，decide“决定”，introduce“介绍”，均不符合文意。 【22题详解】 句意：爱好能让你从必须擅长所有事情中喘口气，从学习到工作。 上文提到爱好让人放松，此处表示不必擅长所有事，everything“所有事物”，符合语境。anything“任何事物”，something“某事”，nothing“没有事”，均与语境不符。 【23题详解】 句意：在你所做的事情中找到乐趣，即使到现在你“应该”擅长它。 上文提到只要带来快乐就坚持爱好，此处表示找到乐趣，joy“乐趣”，符合语境。key“关键”，way“方式”，chance“机会”，均与前文“brings you joy”的话题不符。 【24题详解】 句意：毕竟，爱好是你在空闲时间为了快乐而做的事情。 上文强调爱好要带来快乐，此处进行总结解释，After all“毕竟”，符合逻辑。As a result“结果”，For example“例如”，At first“起初”，均不符合总结语境。 三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 (本大题共13小题，每小题2分，共26分) A How Clean Are Your Hands?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了检测手部及日常物品隐藏污垢的面包霉菌实验，介绍了实验所需材料、操作步骤、观察方法以及实验得出的相关结论与安全提醒。 【25题详解】 第二段至第四段（Part 2实验步骤）指出：实验在给面包喷水打湿之后，下一步要“Put each slice in its own zipper bag. Seal and label it”，也就是给接触过不同物品的面包装袋并做好标注。 【26题详解】 全文实验原理表明：霉菌能显现出手和日常物品上的污垢，用肥皂洗手后的手接触面包，霉菌生长情况会不同，借此让我们明白洗手的重要性。 【27题详解】 从文体内容来看：文章是简单有趣的生活小实验讲解，不属于故事、小说和旅游指南，这类内容一般出自科普趣味杂志。 B Bedtime comes every night, but what if you’re not feeling sleepy? Should you still head to bed even if you know you’ll just lie there with your eyes open? This problem has been around for as long as people have been trying to get a good night’s sleep. In order to find the best solution for you, it’s necessary to find out what’s keeping you awake at night. You might be excited about something that happened during the day. Perhaps you’re nervous about what’s coming up the next day. Maybe you don’t like sleeping alone in your room. All of these could be reasons for your sleeping problems. However, there are several steps you can take to help you solve them. One thing that can help is talking to a parent or another trusted adult about what you’re worrying about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, or upset about having too much stress, it can really help to tell somebody. Knowing that someone has listened to you can ease (宽慰) your mind, helping you to get a good rest. Sleeping in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room is another good choice. If there’s anything in your room that makes you feel uneasy or anxious (焦虑的) at night, such as a picture that looks strange in the dark, or a noisy tap in the bathroom, be sure to ask your parents to move or fix it. Also, make sure to keep electronics like mobile phones or iPads away from your bed. They can keep you excited, and make it harder for you to fall asleep. If you are usually restless around bedtime, doing certain things to relax beforehand (预先) may help you fall asleep. Try to take more time to wind down by taking a warm bath, or listening to music for at least 10 minutes before you go to sleep. It’s also helpful to follow a bedtime routine (惯例) and go to sleep at the same time every night. This way, your body will receive the message that it’s almost time to sleep. Your body will learn to start feeling tired, and it’s worth the time and effort to develop a good sleeping habit. 28. To get a good sleep, what does the writer advise you to do first? A. To go to bed at a certain time every night. B. To do something to make you tired in the day. C. To stay away from electronics before going to bed. D. To know the exact reason why you stay awake at night. 29. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Create a good sleep environment. B. Keep the room quiet and cool. C. Make your bedroom comfortable. D. Stay away from electronics. 30. What does the underlined phrase “wind down” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Stay awake. B. Keep clean. C. Get relaxed. D. Feel sleepy. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕夜晚难以入睡的问题展开，说明解决失眠问题首先要明确失眠原因，同时介绍了多个帮助改善睡眠、养成良好睡眠习惯的可行方法。 【28题详解】 第二段开头指出：“In order to find the best solution for you, it’s necessary to find out what’s keeping you awake at night”，这直接说明想要睡个好觉，首先要做的是弄清楚自己夜晚无法入睡的确切原因。 【29题详解】 第四段开头点明核心方向，提出要在舒适安静的环境睡眠，接着说明要移除房间内让人焦虑不安的物品，还要将电子设备移离床铺，所有内容都围绕“创造良好的睡眠环境”展开。 【30题详解】 根据前文“If you are usually restless around bedtime, doing certain things to relax beforehand may help you fall asleep”可知，睡前焦躁时需要提前做放松活动；后文“by taking a warm bath, or listening to music”提到的洗温水澡、听音乐，这些都是这类放松活动的举例，因此wind down的含义为“放松”。 C My five-year-old son befriends the woman. It starts with voices in the yard. When I come out to check on Daniel, his face is pressed on the fence (篱笆). The woman says, “You wait right here. I’ll be right back.” She returns with a saw (锯子) There’s a whirring. A circle in the wooden fence drops out of sight. “Dad! Sandy just drilled out a hole in the fence so Sandy and I can talk!” Daniel spins around. I hadn’t known her name was Sandy. We’ve lived here a month before Daniel was born. Daniel’s and Sandy’s murmuring voices continue. Whenever Daniel is outside, he circles near the fence that isn’t a fence any more. Some days my son just goes to stand at the hole, yelling. “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” Sometimes I hear bits of their talk. “We painted a ghost at school.” Or: “Wheeler and Jackson were playing football, and they told me I couldn’t play.” “That wasn’t very nice,” says Sandy. “Did that hurt your feelings? Did you let them know that?” I can’t bear how he replies. A moment of envy runs through me. He never talks about his school things with me. Daniel and Sandy not only keep chatting through the hole, they also exchange gifts. A coloring book, then a Hot Wheels car. It’s unclear what Daniel gives Sandy in return. One afternoon, I hear Sandy’s voice floating over the top of the fence with the hole. “I thought maybe Daniel could come for a play date.” We ring the bell on Sandy’s porch. She’s a middle-aged woman with smiling eyes. Sandy’s yard is sweet with the smell of flowers. We have a pleasant afternoon with Sandy. My son’s adult friend, the first friend Daniel has made on his own. We’ve passed through the hole in the fence. A month later, Sandy leaves to care for her mother in Kansas. She left behind a box of presents: a coloring book, sidewalk chalk, the missing orange part in the Hot Wheels track. When I look at Daniel, he’s looking down at his shoes. He sometimes wanders down to the fence. Instead of calling “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” he cries. “Hello! Helloooooo!” One day, Daniel receives Sandy’s postcard. They write frequently, warmly. 31. Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Sandy leaves for Kansas to care for her mother. b. Daniel and Sandy exchange gifts through the hole. c. Daniel and Sandy are good pen friends. d. Sandy drills out a hole in the fence. e. Sandy invites Daniel to come to her yard for a play date. A. dbeac B. badec C. decab D. ecadb 32.

He is heartbroken when hearing the news. D. He does not want to be Sandy’s friend any more. 33. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. A postcard. B. Friendship beyond age. C. A nice neighbour. D. My son and I. 【答案】31. A 32. C 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述五岁儿子丹尼尔与邻居桑迪因篱笆洞结缘，跨龄交友后互赠礼物、相聚，桑迪离开后二人仍保持通信的温情故事。 【31题详解】 按故事发展顺序，桑迪先在篱笆钻洞(d)，随后二人交换礼物(b)，接着桑迪邀请丹尼尔玩耍(e)，之后桑迪离开去堪萨斯(a)，最后二人成为笔友(c)，顺序为dbeac。 【32题详解】 划线句描述丹尼尔的行为：“When I look at Daniel, he’s looking down at his shoes. He sometimes wanders down to the fence. Instead of calling ‘Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!’ he cries, ‘Hello! Helloooooo!’”，能看出桑迪离开后他十分难过。 【33题详解】 全文围绕五岁男孩丹尼尔与中年邻居桑迪的跨龄友谊展开，从篱笆洞结缘到分别后通信，核心是跨越年龄的友谊，“Friendship beyond age”是最佳标题。 D “It is especially beautiful. No matter who you are or what your age is, seeing something so fantastic is truly attractive,” said Jin Huilin, who was attracted by the rich patterns (花纹) when he saw Yuhua stones for the first time. Nanjing Yuhua stone is a type of water-worn stone mainly found in areas like Nanjing and Yizheng in Jiangsu Province. It is known for its smooth texture (质地), bright colours and rich patterns. Because Yuhua stones are often got from mines (矿山) , dry Yuhua stones look plain and grey, hiding their true quality. Jin and his friends visited Luhe mining sites in Nanjing, wearing rubber shoes to collect these stones on rainy days. Rain made the stones’ detailed patterns clearer. “It’s better to carry a bottle of water on dry days to pour on the surface of the stones. Sometimes you can find something surprising. “Jin said. According to Jin, appreciating (欣赏) stones starts with their outer qualities like texture, colour, and patterns. ①However, “real appreciation of the stones requires cultural knowledge; otherwise, they might seem like just pieces of colour,” said Jin. With cultural knowledge and imagination, people could see different patterns, such as trees, mountains, or flowers. “②The stones a person chooses as their favourites can show their cultural awareness,” Jin added. Watching patterns of stones in the water is not the only way to appreciate stones. Jin also mentioned other ways. ③He gave some examples. “Some people enjoy holding stones in their hands, appreciating their special textures, or using strong light to discover hidden patterns that are even more beautiful. Others choose to put the stones on the desk, inviting guests to appreciate the stones from different positions,” said Jin. ④ For Jin, stone watching brings joy and something fresh to his life. “Some people like to have lively pets while I prefer stones for their lasting nature.” Jin added. 34. The writer begins this article by ________. A. explaining an idea B. showing the reasons C. comparing differences D. telling someone’s opinion 35. Jin suggests carrying a bottle of water when collecting stones on dry days because ________. A. water can bring people good luck B. stones can avoid being polluted with water C. water can help find the stones’ true quality D. the weather makes people feel thirsty easily 36. The sentence “So, watching stones is, in some ways, watching oneself.” most probably comes from ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 37 What can we know about Yuhua stones from the passage? A. Their true quality can be found easily on the surface. B. They can be found in most cities in Jiangsu Province. C. There are different patterns like mountains and flowers in them. D. The textures are seen more clearly in the water than with strong light. 【答案】34. D 35. C 36. B 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物采访，通过赏石爱好者金慧林的视角，介绍了南京雨花石的特点、采集方法以及赏石的文化内涵，展现了赏石不仅是观其形色，更是一种文化与心境的体现。 【34题详解】 文章开头直接引用了金慧林对雨花石的感受：“It is especially beautiful...seeing something so fantastic is truly attractive.”，这是通过讲述某人的观点来引出话题。 【35题详解】 文中金慧林提到：“It’s better to carry a bottle of water on dry days to pour on the surface of the stones. Sometimes you can find something surprising.” 说明在干燥天气下浇水可以帮助看清雨花石的真实花纹。 【36题详解】 句子“So, watching stones is, in some ways, watching oneself.” 表达的是赏石与自我观照的关系。文中②处金慧林说“The stones a person chooses as their favourites can show their cultural awareness.”，强调所选之石反映个人文化修养，与这句话含义一致，因此应放在②处。 【37题详解】 文中提到“With cultural knowledge and imagination, people could see different patterns, such as trees, mountains, or flowers.”，说明雨花石中可以看到山、花等不同图案。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共50分) 四、词汇运用 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) (A) 根据句意和中文注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上写出单词的正确形式。 38.

To ________ (success), we must learn from each failure and keep trying. 【答案】succeed 【解析】 【详解】句意：想要成功，我们必须从每一次失败中学习并不断努力。success“成功”是名词，to后需接动词原形构成不定式，动词形式为succeed“成功”。 五、动词填空用括号里所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 48. On the journey of Wuxi’s rapid development, every effort ________ (matter). 【答案】matters 【解析】 【详解】句意：在无锡快速发展的征程中，每一份努力都至关重要。matter“要紧，有重要意义”，主语“every effort”为单数，句子用一般现在时，谓语动词的第三人称单数形式需加-s。 49. Now more and more parks ________ (design) as public places for citizens to rest after work. 【答案】are designed 【解析】 【详解】句意：现在越来越多的公园被设计成供市民下班后休息的公共场所。句中主语parks和动词design之间是被动关系，且时间状语Now提示用一般现在时，一般现在时的被动语态结构为am/is/are + 过去分词，主语parks是复数，be动词用are，design的过去分词为designed，故填are designed。 50. It’s popular ________ (hire) a boat and row on the Taihu Lake. 【答案】to hire 【解析】 【详解】句意：在太湖上租一艘船划船是很流行的。本句是“It is + 形容词 + to do sth.”的固定句型，意为“做某事是……的”，其中It是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式。故填to hire。 51. “________ (make) sure that there aren’t mistakes in our travelling plan.” That’s Amy’s advice. 【答案】Make 【解析】 【详解】句意：“确保我们的旅行计划中没有错误。”那是艾米的建议。本句为祈使句，需以动词原形开头，make意为“使，让”，句首首字母大写。 52.

The photos of our camping trip ________ (put) on our school website next Monday. 【答案】will be put 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们露营旅行的照片将于下周一被发布在学校网站上。句中next Monday是表示将来的时间状语，提示句子用一般将来时；主语The photos和动词put是被动关系（照片被发布），因此用一般将来时的被动语态，结构为will be put。 54. My parents ________ (visit) Yuantouzhu many times to enjoy the cherry blossoms. 【答案】have visited 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的父母已经去过鼋头渚很多次欣赏樱花了。句中“many times”表示动作发生了多次，要用现在完成时，visit意为“参观，拜访”，现在完成时结构为have/has+过去分词，visit的过去分词直接在词尾加-ed，主语“My parents”是复数，助动词用have。 55. The tickets to Yuantouzhu was a bit expensive, but a number of tourists still ________ (buy) them yesterday. 【答案】bought 【解析】 【详解】句意：鼋头渚的门票有点贵，但昨天还是有很多游客买了。句中yesterday是表示过去的时间状语，提示句子用一般过去时，buy的过去式为bought。 56. When I got to the park, many people ________ (take) photos of the cherry blossoms. 【答案】were taking 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我到达公园时，许多人正在拍樱花的照片。句中“When I got to the park”为一般过去时的时间状语从句，表示过去发生的一个时间点，主句强调在“到达公园”那一时刻正在进行的动作，应用过去进行时。过去进行时的结构为“was/were + 动词的现在分词”，主语“many people”是复数，故be动词用were；take的现在分词为taking，故填were taking。 57. Leo promised that he ________ (share) something interesting with me as soon as he went back. 【答案】would share 【解析】 【详解】句意：利奥承诺他一回去就和我分享有趣的事情。share“分享”，主句谓语“promised”为过去式，宾语从句需用相应过去时态，“share”这个动作是承诺之后将要发生的动作，因此要用过去将来时态would+动词原形。 六、阅读表达 请认真阅读下面短文，用英文回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。每题答案不超过8个单词。 The year 2026 is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese calendar. In different cultures, horses stand for similar things, but with occasional (偶尔的) exceptions. In China, the horse carries many positive meanings, such as smart and energetic, and we can see them in Chinese idioms. For example, a talented person is often called “qianlima”, a horse that covers a thousand li a day. And someone who is good at finding talent is referred to as “bole”, a person who could tell a good horse by its looks in ancient China. Other horse-related phrases in Chinese include “madaochenggong”, which means instant success and “longmajingshen”, which means full of energy. Horses are also said to have powerful brains with “excellent memories”, according to Discovery News. Maybe that’s why a Chinese idiom goes: “An old horse knows the way.” In other cultures horses are also important and special. In the Middle Ages, the horse was a symbol of chivalry (骑士精神) and nobility (高贵品质) in Western societies. In fact, the word “chivalry” comes from the Old French word “cheval”, which meant horse. The idea of chivalry helped to shape the 19th-century image of the “gentleman”, which was known for good manners, courage and loyalty (忠诚) to friends. Since the horse is honored as a symbol of energy, loyalty, strong will and intelligence. people born in the Year of the Horse are also believed to have these great qualities. 58.

Part 3: Watch the test ·Check the bags daily for seven days. ·Compare the mould growth. What we learn The mould shows us the dirt on our hands and everyday objects.

Touch three bread slices in different ways. D. Label each bag with what the bread touched. 26. According to the test, the writer probably wants us to ________.

This is probably a page taken from ________. A. a storybook B. a novel C. a magazine D. a travel guide B Bedtime comes every night, but what if you’re not feeling sleepy? Should you still head to bed even if you know you’ll just lie there with your eyes open? This problem has been around for as long as people have been trying to get a good night’s sleep. In order to find the best solution for you, it’s necessary to find out what’s keeping you awake at night. You might be excited about something that happened during the day. Perhaps you’re nervous about what’s coming up the next day. Maybe you don’t like sleeping alone in your room. All of these could be reasons for your sleeping problems. However, there are several steps you can take to help you solve them. One thing that can help is talking to a parent or another trusted adult about what you’re worrying about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, or upset about having too much stress, it can really help to tell somebody. Knowing that someone has listened to you can ease (宽慰) your mind, helping you to get a good rest. Sleeping in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room is another good choice. If there’s anything in your room that makes you feel uneasy or anxious (焦虑的) at night, such as a picture that looks strange in the dark, or a noisy tap in the bathroom, be sure to ask your parents to move or fix it. Also, make sure to keep electronics like mobile phones or iPads away from your bed. They can keep you excited, and make it harder for you to fall asleep. If you are usually restless around bedtime, doing certain things to relax beforehand (预先) may help you fall asleep. Try to take more time to wind down by taking a warm bath, or listening to music for at least 10 minutes before you go to sleep. It’s also helpful to follow a bedtime routine (惯例) and go to sleep at the same time every night. This way, your body will receive the message that it’s almost time to sleep. Your body will learn to start feeling tired, and it’s worth the time and effort to develop a good sleeping habit. 28. To get a good sleep, what does the writer advise you to do first? A. To go to bed at a certain time every night. B. To do something to make you tired in the day. C. To stay away from electronics before going to bed. D. To know the exact reason why you stay awake at night. 29. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Create a good sleep environment. B. Keep the room quiet and cool. C. Make your bedroom comfortable. D. Stay away from electronics. 30. What does the underlined phrase “wind down” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Stay awake. B. Keep clean. C. Get relaxed. D. Feel sleepy. C My five-year-old son befriends the woman. It starts with voices in the yard. When I come out to check on Daniel, his face is pressed on the fence (篱笆). The woman says, “You wait right here. I’ll be right back.” She returns with a saw (锯子). There’s a whirring. A circle in the wooden fence drops out of sight. “Dad! Sandy just drilled out a hole in the fence so Sandy and I can talk!” Daniel spins around. I hadn’t known her name was Sandy. We’ve lived here a month before Daniel was born. Daniel’s and Sandy’s murmuring voices continue. Whenever Daniel is outside, he circles near the fence that isn’t a fence any more. Some days my son just goes to stand at the hole, yelling. “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” Sometimes I hear bits of their talk. “We painted a ghost at school.” Or: “Wheeler and Jackson were playing football, and they told me I couldn’t play.” “That wasn’t very nice,” says Sandy. “Did that hurt your feelings? Did you let them know that?” I can’t bear how he replies. A moment of envy runs through me. He never talks about his school things with me. Daniel and Sandy not only keep chatting through the hole, they also exchange gifts. A coloring book, then a Hot Wheels car. It’s unclear what Daniel gives Sandy in return. One afternoon, I hear Sandy’s voice floating over the top of the fence with the hole. “I thought maybe Daniel could come for a play date” We ring the bell on Sandy’s porch. She’s a middle-aged woman with smiling eyes. Sandy’s yard is sweet with the smell of flowers. We have a pleasant afternoon with Sandy. My son’s adult friend, the first friend Daniel has made on his own. We’ve passed through the hole in the fence. A month later, Sandy leaves to care for her mother in Kansas. She left behind a box of presents: a coloring book, sidewalk chalk, the missing orange part in the Hot Wheels track. When I look at Daniel, he’s looking down at his shoes. He sometimes wanders down to the fence. Instead of calling “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” he cries. “Hello! Helloooooo!” One day, Daniel receives Sandy’s postcard. They write frequently, warmly. 31. Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Sandy leaves for Kansas to care for her mother. b Daniel and Sandy exchange gifts through the hole. c. Daniel and Sandy are good pen friends. d. Sandy drills out a hole in the fence. e. Sandy invites Daniel to come to her yard for a play date. A. dbeac B. badec C. decab D. ecadb 32. What can we learn about Daniel from the underlined sentences in the story? A. He doesn’t care about Sandy’s leaving. B. He is impressed with the shoes from Sandy. C. He is heartbroken when hearing the news. D. He does not want to be Sandy’s friend any more. 33. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. A postcard. B. Friendship beyond age. C. A nice neighbour. D. My son and I. D “It is especially beautiful. No matter who you are or what your age is, seeing something so fantastic is truly attractive,” said Jin Huilin, who was attracted by the rich patterns (花纹) when he saw Yuhua stones for the first time. Nanjing Yuhua stone is a type of water-worn stone mainly found in areas like Nanjing and Yizheng in Jiangsu Province. It is known for its smooth texture (质地), bright colours and rich patterns. Because Yuhua stones are often got from mines (矿山) , dry Yuhua stones look plain and grey, hiding their true quality. Jin and his friends visited Luhe mining sites in Nanjing, wearing rubber shoes to collect these stones on rainy days. Rain made the stones’ detailed patterns clearer. “It’s better to carry a bottle of water on dry days to pour on the surface of the stones. Sometimes you can find something surprising. “Jin said. According to Jin, appreciating (欣赏) stones starts with their outer qualities like texture, colour, and patterns. ①However, “real appreciation of the stones requires cultural knowledge; otherwise, they might seem like just pieces of colour,” said Jin. With cultural knowledge and imagination, people could see different patterns, such as trees, mountains, or flowers. “②The stones a person chooses as their favourites can show their cultural awareness,” Jin added. Watching patterns of stones in the water is not the only way to appreciate stones. Jin also mentioned other ways. ③He gave some examples. “Some people enjoy holding stones in their hands, appreciating their special textures, or using strong light to discover hidden patterns that are even more beautiful. Others choose to put the stones on the desk, inviting guests to appreciate the stones from different positions,” said Jin. ④ For Jin, stone watching brings joy and something fresh to his life. “Some people like to have lively pets while I prefer stones for their lasting nature.” Jin added. 34. The writer begins this article by ________. A. explaining an idea B. showing the reasons C. comparing differences D. telling someone’s opinion 35. Jin suggests carrying a bottle of water when collecting stones on dry days because ________. A. water can bring people good luck B. stones can avoid being polluted with water C. water can help find the stones’ true quality D. the weather makes people feel thirsty easily 36. The sentence “So, watching stones is, in some ways, watching oneself.” most probably comes from ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 37. What can we know about Yuhua stones from the passage? A. Their true quality can be found easily on the surface. B. They can be found in most cities in Jiangsu Province. C. There are different patterns like mountains and flowers in them. D. The textures are seen more clearly in the water than with strong light. 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共50分) 四、词汇运用 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) (A) 根据句意和中文注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上写出单词的正确形式。 38.
