B
One minute, Peggy Lewis and her husband, Harris Lee, were watching the trees blow in the wind. The next, they were surrounded by flying pieces of glass from the house’s broken windows. The roof was torn off. The walls caved in (塌陷). After the 152-mph tornado (龙卷风) had passed, it took a team of neighbors to pull the couple from the rubble (碎砖) and take them to the hospital.
When the pair returned to their house three days later, it was clear that what remained of the house would need to be torn down, but before Peggy would let that happen, she wanted one thing first—her family Bible.
Peggy had bought the Bible 35 years earlier, at the start of her marriage. Like many people, she’d used it to hold her family’s history — old photos, and a handkerchief from her great-grandmother.
The Bible was the first thing Peggy looked for when she returned to the house. When two volunteers showed up, Peggy had one task for them.
After an hour of searching, one of the volunteers ran up to her. Peggy had tears running down her face. The young woman had found the book while looking through rubble. Surprisingly, while many other books inside the house had been destroyed beyond recognition, the Bible was still complete, even though it had sat in the rain for days. “I completely broke down,” says Peggy. “I thought it was gone forever.” She was extremely grateful.
Peggy and her family were living at a friend’s house until they got back on their feet. But the book already has its well-deserved place of honor, in Peggy’ borrowed dresser. She knows that while every good book tells stories of disastrous (灾难性的) weather and unlikely survival, this one actually lived it.
41. What happened to the couple during the tornado?
A. They were hurt by glass. B. They were buried in ruins.
C. They were blown to the wall. D. They were forced to leave their house.
42. What task did Peggy Lewis probably have for the volunteers?
A. To help find her Bible. B. To get her a new dresser.
C. To dig out all the buried things. D. To tear down the dangerous house.
43. Why is the Bible important to Peggy Lewis?
A. It’s very expensive. B. It’s a gift from her husband.
C. It marked her marriage. D. It held important things.
44. How did Peggy Lewis feel seeing what the young woman had found?
A. Excited but surprised. B. Sad but thankful.
C. Excited and thankful. D. Surprised but sad.
45. What did Peggy Lewis lose in the tornado?
A. An important book. B. All of her books.
C. Her house. D. Some of her relatives.
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. C 45. C

细节理解题。根据第一段中“The roof was torn off. The walls caved in (塌陷). After the 152-mph tornado (龙卷风) had passed, it took a team of neighbors to pull the couple from the rubble (碎砖) and take them to the hospital.”(屋顶被掀掉了。墙壁塌陷了。时速152英里的龙卷风过去后,一群邻居把这对夫妇从废墟中拉了出来,送他们去了医院。)可知,这对夫妇在龙卷风中被埋在废墟中。故选B项。

The walls caved in (塌陷).”(屋顶被掀掉了。墙壁塌陷了。)以及第二段“When the pair returned to their house three days later, it was clear that what remained of the house would need to be torn down, but before Peggy would let that happen, she wanted one thing first—her family Bible.”(三天后,当这对夫妇回到他们的房子时,很明显,房子剩下的部分需要被拆除,但在佩吉允许这件事发生之前,她首先想要一样东西——她的家庭圣经。)可知,佩吉·刘易斯在龙卷风中损失了她的房子。故选C项。
C
We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It’s the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns (喇). That is until recently, when something was finally done about it.
‘The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many. complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.
At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.
Within six months, 11,000 fines (罚款) had been collected by the local traffic police. The fine was about HK S360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK S1,000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money it he broke the law.
As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.
The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal’s capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.
46. What do Hong Kong and Kathmandu have in common?
A. Both have been troubled by factory pollution.
B. Both have succeeded in fighting air pollution.
C. Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution.
D. Both have received many complaints about horn pollution.
47. What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found?
A. Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily. B. The cars are becoming more and more.
C. Care drivers use car horns as a warning. D. Everyone complain about the horn pollution.
48. When was the law on the use of car horns passed?
A. In 2016. B. In 2017. C. In 2018. D. In 2019.
49. What will you find if you go to Kathmandu?
A. No traffic lights in the streets can work. B. The traffic on the roads is not very smooth.
C. Animals are not allowed to walk on the streets. D. Drivers are required to drive on one-way streets.
50. What can we guess about Kathmandu’s horn ban?
A It is useful. B. It is worrying. C. It is interesting. D. It is embarrassing.
【答案】46. C 47. A 48. B 49. B 50. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了尼泊尔首都加德满都实施汽车喇叭禁令,并解释这个事件的背景、过程、影响以及未来的计划。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It’s the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns (喇).(在香港,我们也经常抱怨光污染。然后是噪音污染。世界上许多城市都是如此。在尼泊尔首都加德满都,人们一直在抱怨司机不停地按喇叭发出的噪音。)”可知,在香港,人们总是抱怨光污染,同时也提到了噪音污染,而在尼泊尔的首都加德满都,人们一直在抱怨司机不断按喇叭造成的噪音,这说明香港和加德满都都面临着噪音污染的问题。故选C。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.(加德满都的研究人员发现,在大约80%的时间里,司机真的没有必要按汽车喇叭。按喇叭制造噪音已经成为一种习惯。它不再被用来警告人们有危险。)”可知,加德满都的研究人员发现,大约80%的时间里,司机使用汽车喇叭其实是不必要的。因此,研究人员发现的是汽车司机通常会不必要地使用汽车喇叭。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.(2017年尼泊尔新年伊始,当地政府通过了一项法律,禁止不正确使用汽车喇叭。)”可知,关于汽车喇叭使用的法律是在2017年尼泊尔新年伊始通过的。故选B。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.(尽管加德满都的街道上有不少红绿灯,但很少能正常工作。这意味着经常出现交通混乱。)”可知,尽管加德满都的街道上有很多交通灯,但是它们中很少有工作的。这意味着交通经常很混乱。这表明如果你去加德满都,你会发现道路上的交通并不顺畅。故选B。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal’s capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported.(禁止使用汽车喇叭的禁令继续实施,几周后,尼泊尔首都的街道安静了下来——尽管仍然很繁忙。因为有了这项禁令,司机开车的时候更加小心了。报道的事故也减少了。)”可知,由于禁止使用汽车喇叭,加德满都的街道上尽管仍然繁忙,但已经变得更为安静。此外,由于禁令的实施,司机们在驾驶时变得更加小心,事故报告也有所减少。这些描述都暗示了汽车喇叭禁令是有效的。故选A。

When my father was celebrating a milestone (里程碑) birthday, I pulled together a surprised gift that he would never forget.
On his 60th birthday , I had a fun idea: What if I could get the memories people had of him, put each one into an envelope (信封) — 60 in total — and have him open them, one by one, on his birthday? So I wrote an e-mail to family and friends, explaining my idea.
I sent the e-mail and waited. And then the replies started coming in and I was very, very astonished. There were so many memories, and they were all so lovely. They came from the 50s, 60s, 70s, from every decade (十年) between now and the day my dad was born. They came from my mother, my siblings, my grandma, my dad’s friends from high school, his sister, my dad’s first boss, a colleague at his first job, from people who hadn’t seen my dad in40 years, from people I myself hadn’t even informed. They typed them and handwrote them. They mailed them and e-mailed them.
The night before Dad’s birthday, my sister and I stayed up late to put the mails into envelopes.
The next morning, after breakfast and presents and cake, we gave the pile of envelopes to him. “Just one more thing for you,” we said.
It took him a long time to open them and read. Each one was a brief ticket to another time, a leap (跳跃) backward over years and decades. There was a lot of laughter and a few tears in his face.
I was kind of sad when the project of the memories about my father was over because it was great fun to collect these memories.
51. When did the author give her father a surprised gift? (no more than 5 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
52. What does the underlined word “astonished” in paragraph 3 probably mean? (no more than 1 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
53. Why did the author and her sister stay up late the night before their father’s birthday? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
54. How did the author’s father most probably feel when he read the mails? (no more than 2 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
55. What do you think of the author’s gift, why? (no more than 25 words)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】51. On his 60th birthday.
52. surprised/amazed/shocked
53. Because they needed to put the mails into envelopes.
54. moved/touched/excited/happy.
55. I think it’s a very touching and meaningful gift because it contains precious memories from different people.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者为庆祝父亲60岁生日而精心策划的一个特别礼物——收集关于父亲的回忆并装入信封,让他在生日当天一一阅读的过程。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第五段“The next morning, after breakfast and presents and cake, we gave the pile of envelopes to him. “Just one more thing for you,” we said.(第二天早上,吃完早餐、送完礼物和蛋糕后,我们把那叠信封交给了他。“再给你一样东西”我们说。)”可知,作者是在父亲60岁生日这天早上给了父亲一个惊喜的礼物。故答案为On his 60th birthday.
【52题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线单词下文“There were so many memories, and they were all so lovely. They came from the 50s, 60s, 70s, from every decade (十年) between now and the day my dad was born. They came from my mother, my siblings, my grandma, my dad’s friends from high school, his sister, my dad’s first boss, a colleague at his first job, from people who hadn’t seen my dad in40 years, from people I myself hadn’t even informed.(有那么多的回忆,它们都那么可爱。他们来自50年代、60年代、70年代,从我父亲出生到现在的每十年。他们来自我的母亲,我的兄弟姐妹,我的祖母,我父亲高中时的朋友,他的妹妹,我父亲的第一个老板,他的第一份工作的同事,来自40年来没有见过我父亲的人,来自我自己甚至没有通知过的人。)”可知,作者收到的回复非常多,甚至有作者没有通知的人。由此可判断,划线单词的意思和“惊讶的”相似。故答案为surprised/amazed/shocked。
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“The night before Dad’s birthday, my sister and I stayed up late to put the mails into envelopes.(爸爸生日的前一天晚上,我和妹妹熬夜把邮件装进信封。)”可知,作者的爸爸生日的前一天晚上和妹妹熬夜将收到的邮件装进信封。故答案为Because they needed to put the mails into envelopes。
【54题详解】
考查推理判断。根据文章第六段“It took him a long time to open them and read. Each one was a brief ticket to another time, a leap (跳跃) backward over years and decades. There was a lot of laughter and a few tears in his face.(他花了很长时间才打开并阅读。每一次都是通往另一个时代的短暂门票,是数年乃至数十年的一次跳跃。他的脸上有很多笑声和几滴眼泪。)”可推测,作者的父亲读到这些邮件时,脸上有笑声和眼泪,由此可推测,作者的父亲此时非常感动,开心和兴奋。故答案为moved/touched/excited/happy。
【55题详解】
开放题。要求考生评价作者的为父亲准备的礼物,考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为I think it’s a very touching and meaningful gift because it contains precious memories from different people。

Hello, everyone!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Hello, everyone!
Today, I’d like to introduce Chinese calligraphy — one of the most treasured traditional arts in China.
With a history of over 3,000 years, calligraphy is far more than just writing. It is an art form that expresses the writer’s spirit, emotions, and character through the movement of the brush. Ancient scholars considered it a way to cultivate inner peace and develop self-discipline.
In today’s digital age, practicing calligraphy still matters. It helps us slow down, focus our mind, and truly appreciate the beauty of Chinese characters. It also serves as a bridge between the past and the present, connecting us to the wisdom of our ancestors.
I hope you’ll love this beautiful art. Thank you!

One minute, Peggy Lewis and her husband, Harris Lee, were watching the trees blow in the wind. The next, they were surrounded by flying pieces of glass from the house’s broken windows. The roof was torn off. The walls caved in (塌陷). After the 152-mph tornado (龙卷风) had passed, it took a team of neighbors to pull the couple from the rubble (碎砖) and take them to the hospital.
When the pair returned to their house three days later, it was clear that what remained of the house would need to be torn down, but before Peggy would let that happen, she wanted one thing first—her family Bible.
Peggy had bought the Bible 35 years earlier, at the start of her marriage. Like many people, she’d used it to hold her family’s history — old photos, and a handkerchief from her great-grandmother.
The Bible was the first thing Peggy looked for when she returned to the house. When two volunteers showed up, Peggy had one task for them.
After an hour of searching, one of the volunteers ran up to her. Peggy had tears running down her face. The young woman had found the book while looking through rubble. Surprisingly, while many other books inside the house had been destroyed beyond recognition, the Bible was still complete, even though it had sat in the rain for days. “I completely broke down,” says Peggy. “I thought it was gone forever.” She was extremely grateful.
Peggy and her family were living at a friend’s house until they got back on their feet. But the book already has its well-deserved place of honor, in Peggy’ borrowed dresser. She knows that while every good book tells stories of disastrous (灾难性的) weather and unlikely survival, this one actually lived it.
41. What happened to the couple during the tornado?
A. They were hurt by glass. B. They were buried in ruins.
C. They were blown to the wall. D. They were forced to leave their house.
42. What task did Peggy Lewis probably have for the volunteers?
A. To help find her Bible. B. To get her a new dresser.
C. To dig out all the buried things. D. To tear down the dangerous house.
43. Why is the Bible important to Peggy Lewis?
A It’s very expensive. B. It’s a gift from her husband.
C. It marked her marriage. D. It held important things.

We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It’s the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns (喇). That is until recently, when something was finally done about it.
‘The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many. complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.
At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.
Within six months, 11,000 fines (罚款) had been collected by the local traffic police. The fine was about HK S360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK S1,000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money it he broke the law.
As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.
The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal’s capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.

A. Both have been troubled by factory pollution.

47. What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found?
A. Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily. B. The cars are becoming more and more.

48. When was the law on the use of car horns passed?
A. In 2016. B. In 2017. C. In 2018. D. In 2019.

A. No traffic lights in the streets can work. B. The traffic on the roads is not very smooth.

When my father was celebrating a milestone (里程碑) birthday, I pulled together a surprised gift that he would never forget.
On his 60th birthday , I had a fun idea: What if I could get the memories people had of him, put each one into an envelope (信封) — 60 in total — and have him open them, one by one, on his birthday? So I wrote an e-mail to family and friends, explaining my idea.
I sent the e-mail and waited. And then the replies started coming in and I was very, very astonished. There were so many memories, and they were all so lovely. They came from the 50s, 60s, 70s, from every decade (十年) between now and the day my dad was born. They came from my mother, my siblings, my grandma, my dad’s friends from high school, his sister, my dad’s first boss, a colleague at his first job, from people who hadn’t seen my dad in40 years, from people I myself hadn’t even informed. They typed them and handwrote them. They mailed them and e-mailed them.
The night before Dad’s birthday, my sister and I stayed up late to put the mails into envelopes.
The next morning, after breakfast and presents and cake, we gave the pile of envelopes to him. “Just one more thing for you,” we said.
It took him a long time to open them and read. Each one was a brief ticket to another time, a leap (跳跃) backward over years and decades. There was a lot of laughter and a few tears in his face.
I was kind of sad when the project of the memories about my father was over because it was great fun to collect these memories.
