He was the new kid at school, and everything felt strange. But the strangest thing of all was his lunchbox. Every morning, his mother woke up early to cook. 1 other kids brought sandwiches and chips, Eddie’s lunchbox held rice, vegetables, and meat with rich sauces. The smells filled the classroom when he opened 2 . “Why does your food smell so funny?” a boy named Greg asked on his first day. “Is that Chinese food?” another girl whispered. After that day, Eddie asked his mother for 3 . “Please, Mom. I don’t want to be different. I want to fit in.” His mother looked at him quietly. “Fine, I will make you one,” she said. The next day at lunch, he sat happily with Greg and some other boys. He opened his lunchbox 4 . But when he bit into the sandwich—plain (平淡的) bread, plain turkey, plain cheese — something felt missing. It was just... food. Greg noticed, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like sandwiches?” Eddie thought about his family cooking. How could he describe the way his grandmother’s recipe (菜谱) for red-cooked pork filled the whole house 5 love? How could he explain that every dish had a story and his family 6 through generations (世代)? How could he make them understand that Chinese food wasn’t just food — it was deep 7 in a bowl? That night at dinner, Eddie’s mother served his favorite — Mapo Tofu. “Mom,” Eddie said, “can I take this to school tomorrow?” His mother looked 8 . “I thought you wanted sandwiches.” Eddie shook his head. “Sandwiches are just food. Your cooking is... it’s like... it’s who we are.” His mother smiled. It was the biggest smile Eddie had seen. The next day at lunch, when Eddie opened his lunchbox, the good smell spread across the table. Greg came over and asked, “It must be very special. 9 I try some?” Eddie nodded. Greg took a bite of the Mapo Tofu. His eyes widened. “Wow,” he said. “This is amazing! Why doesn’t my mom cook like this?” Eddie smiled, “This is my family’s secret recipe.” And for the first time since moving to Orlando, Eddie felt like he belonged — not by 10 who he was, but by sharing it. 1．A．If B．While C．Unless D．Because 2．A．it B．one C．them D．those 3．A．vegetables B．Mapo Tofu C．sandwiches D．cookies 4．A．secretly B．proudly C．sadly D．quietly 5．A．at B．in C．of D．with 6．A．turned it down B．cut it down C．passed it down D．put it down 7．A．time B．culture C．food D．friendship 8．A．disappointed B．worried C．afraid D．surprised 9．A．Can B．Should C．Must D．Need 10．A．wondering B．expressing C．hiding D．lying 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D 6．C 7．B 8．D 9．A 10．C 【解析】本文是一篇关于文化认同与归属感的感人故事，讲述了小男孩Eddie随家人搬到奥兰多后，从渴望融入到最终骄傲地展示自己文化身份的心路历程。 1．句意：当其他孩子带来三明治和薯条时，埃迪的午餐盒里装着米饭、蔬菜和酱汁浓郁的肉。 由“other kids brought sandwiches and chips”可知，此处表示对比——其他孩子带三明治，而Eddie带中餐，while表示对比，意为“然而”。 2．句意：当他打开餐盒时，气味弥漫了整个教室。 根据“Eddie’s lunchbox held rice, vegetables, and meat with rich sauces”可知，指代Eddie’s lunchbox，用it指代前面提到的单数名词。 3．句意：那天之后，埃迪向妈妈要三明治。 根据“Please, Mom. I don’t want to be different. I want to fit in.”可知，Eddie想融入同学，所以要求妈妈做和三明治一样的午餐。 4．句意：他骄傲地打开午餐盒。 根据“But when he bit into the sandwich—plain (平淡的) bread, plain turkey, plain cheese — something felt missing. It was just... food.”可知，前文应该是骄傲地打开午餐盒，结果是出乎自己的意料。 5．句意：他怎么能描述他祖母的红烧猪肉食谱让整个房子充满了爱？ fill...with love表示“充满爱”，固定搭配。 6．句意：他怎么能解释每一道菜都有一个故事，他的家人代代相传呢？ passed it down 代代相传；家庭食谱通过世代传承下来。 7．句意：他怎么能让他们明白中国菜不仅仅是食物，而是碗里的深厚文化？ 根据“Chinese food wasn’t just food”可知，此处强调饮食文化。 8．句意：他妈妈看起来很惊讶。 根据“Eddie shook his head. ‘Sandwiches are just food. Your cooking is... it’s like... it’s who we are.’”可知，妈妈听到儿子改变主意后的表情——她很惊讶。 9．句意：我可以尝尝吗？ 根据“It must be very special.”可知，此处是Greg礼貌询问的语气——“我可以尝尝吗？” 10．句意：自从搬到奥兰多以来，Eddie第一次觉得自己属于这里——不是因为隐藏自己，而是因为分享。 根据“but by sharing it.”可知，Eddie最终明白了：真正的归属感不是隐藏真实的自己。 第二部分 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Join Us for an Exploration (探索) of Chinese Arts!

I’m one of the Unitree G1 humanoid robots. Let me tell you my story, straight from my own metal-and-motor heart. ________ Since day one, engineers at Unitree dreamed big: robots that could balance, sprint, leap and adapt. They gave me LiDAR, depth cameras and advanced motion control systems, and taught me how to stand firm, walk steadily, and finally dance. Robots like me practised hard before the night of 16 February, when hundreds of millions tuned in to watch the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. Then came the moment. I stepped onto one of the world’s brightest stages, right on cue with my fellow robots, we were there to perform. At one point, I leapt into the air and flipped before landing squarely on my feet. The audience watched in awe before breaking into applause. Some of us even performed moves inspired by kung fu—all while children shared the stage with us. At one dramatic moment, one of us suddenly fell flat on his back. Just as the audience began to wonder what was happening, he rose smoothly to his feet. It turned out to be a trick—a classic drunken boxing move. Last year, robots first appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, twirling handkerchiefs and performing simple movements. We’ve improved a lot since then! Videos of this year’s show have gone viral online. People replay the flips. They slow down the kicks. “It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film,” one comment reads. At the same time, they ask, “What will robots do next?” That question excites me. Because the gala stage is only the beginning. In the future, robots like me may work in places where people need extra hands, such as care settings and disaster zones. And of course, some of us may remain in entertainment and education— performing, teaching, inspiring curiosity in children who look at us and think, “I want to build something like that one day.” The gala was my debut. The future is my next stage. And I am ready to step forward. 14．Which of the following fits best in the ________? A．I wasn’t built to sit quietly on a shelf. B．I was created in a large factory in China. C．People often believe robots are only cold machines. D．Many robots are built for display rather than action. 15．The drunken boxing move was designed to ________. A．test whether the robot could recover from a fall B．create a surprising moment for the audience C．show the robot’s control over its movements D．introduce the robot’s new performance style 16．How does the writer show the robots’ progress? A．By giving detailed numbers about their training. B．By comparing this year’s show with last year’s. C．By describing their appearance in a scientific way. D．By explaining how engineers improved the robots. 17．Why does the writer tell the story in the first person? A．To explain technical details more clearly. B．To make the story more personal and lively. C．To show how robots are controlled. D．To present the gala in a relaxed tone. 【答案】14．A 15．B 16．B 17．B 【解析】本文以机器人的第一人称视角，讲述了宇树科技的机器人在2026年春晚表演的经历，展示了机器人的进步及未来应用前景。 14．推理判断题。根据“They gave me LiDAR, depth cameras and advanced motion control systems, and taught me how to stand firm, walk steadily, and finally dance.”可知，工程师们赋予机器人各种能力，使其能够行动和表演，因此第一句应表达机器人不是静态的摆设。故选A。 15．细节理解题。根据“At one dramatic moment, one of us suddenly fell flat on his back. Just as the audience began to wonder what was happening, he rose smoothly to his feet.”可知，醉拳动作的设计意在制造出人意料的惊喜时刻，从而吸引观众的注意。故选B。 16．细节理解题。根据“Last year, robots first appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, twirling handkerchiefs and performing simple movements. We’ve improved a lot since then!”可知，作者通过对比去年和今年的表演来展示机器人的进步。故选B。 17．推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者以机器人第一人称“I”的视角讲述故事，使叙述更加亲切、生动，增强读者的代入感。选项B“为了让故事更个性化、更生动。”符合文意。故选B。 C Listening to music, watching movies, reading novels... Which kind of art is your go-to choice for fun? According to a new study, art not only calms your mind but also improves your physical health. For the first time, scientists in the UK found that art helps the immune (免疫的), endocrine (内分泌的) and nervous systems all at once, said The Guardian. The study included 50 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40. Half of them went to see real artworks at the Courtauld Gallery in London, while the other half looked at copies of the same paintings in a non-gallery setting. All of them wore health sensors throughout the experiment. The result showed a 22 percent drop in stress hormones (激素) for the gallery-goers and an 8 percent drop for the other group, according to Art Fund. Signs of inflammation (炎症) also went down by about 30 percent for the gallery group. It’s not just visual art that has such effects. For example, a 2021 Swiss study said that dance reduces stress by improving movement control. What makes art so powerful? Scientists have different ideas. One, developed by Edward Vessel at the City College of New York, looks to our brain’s default mode network (默认模式网络). This network is thought to play a key role in creativity—it usually stays quiet when we pay attention to things around us. But when we enjoy art, this network becomes active. Although we are still learning how this works, ________. According to American Scientist, art therapy was first developed to help traumatized (心理受创的) World War II soldiers express their feelings. Those painful experiences often hurt the parts of their brains that control speech, so traditional talking therapy didn’t work well. Since then, art therapy has helped over 650 million people around the world. Marygrace Berberian, a professor at New York University, said in the university’s news in September that number-based studies, like the new UK study, can help more people get art therapy. 18．What does the result of the UK study show? A．Young people benefit more from viewing art. B．Looking at art copies is of little benefit to health. C．Painting is the most helpful art for lowering stress. D．Stress went down more for the gallery-goers group. 19．What does Edward Vessel’s theory suggest about art? A．It makes people’s memory become better. B．It makes the brain’s special network active. C．It makes the brain’s usual activity weaker. D．It makes people careless about the outside. 20．Which of the following is the most suitable for ________? A．art’s power has long been used in treatment B．art’s power is still doubted by scientists C．art’s power has been fully understood by scientists D．art’s power hasn’t been used in treatment till now 21．How does the writer develop the passage? A．By describing research steps. B．By offering interesting ideas. C．By using many examples. D．By listing different art forms 【答案】18．D 19．B 20．A 21．C 【解析】本文介绍研究发现艺术有益身心健康，能降低压力等，还讲述艺术在治疗方面的应用。 18．细节理解题。根据“The result showed a 22 percent drop in stress hormones for the gallery-goers and an 8 percent drop for the other group”可知，去美术馆的那组人压力下降得更多。故选D。 19．细节理解题。根据“But when we enjoy art, this network becomes active.”可知，欣赏艺术时大脑的特殊网络会变得活跃。故选B。 20．推理判断题。根据“According to American Scientist, art therapy was first developed to help traumatized World War II soldiers express their feelings.”可知，艺术的力量长期以来被用于治疗。故选A。 21．推理判断题。根据文中提到英国的研究、瑞士的研究、艺术疗法的例子等可知，作者通过举例来展开文章。故选C。 D One day in autumn Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man on the other side saw us. “Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired. — Adapted from Black Beauty 22．What was the weather like when they started the trip? A．Rainy and windy. B．Stormy and dark. C．Cold and dry. D．Foggy and cold. 23．Why did Beauty stop suddenly on the bridge? A．Because he was too tired to pull the cart any more. B．Because he felt the bridge was not safe to cross. C．Because he was afraid of the heavy rain and strong wind. D．Because he wanted to wait for the man on the other side. 24．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. The man warned them not to cross the broken bridge. b. The master touched Black Beauty with the whip. c. Black Beauty was well rewarded for his decision. d. Black Beauty refused to obey his master at the bridge. e. They three came to a wooden bridge, ready to cross the river. A．e-b-d-a-c B．b-d-a-e-c C．e-d-c-a-b D．d-b-e-c-a 25．What can we infer from the underlined sentence “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!”? A．John regretted hitting Beauty with the whip earlier. B．John recognized that Beauty’s behavior avoided a disaster. C．John thought Beauty was lucky to see the bridge was dangerous. D．John planned to give Beauty a reward for his bravery later. 【答案】22．A 23．B 24．A 25．B 【解析】本文是《黑骏马》的节选，以第一人称视角讲述了黑骏马在暴风雨中识破断桥危险、阻止主人过桥，最终挽救了主人和自己生命的故事，展现了黑骏马的聪慧、机敏与忠诚。 22．根据文章第一段“The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily.”可知，出发时的天气是下雨且刮风的。 23．根据文章第三段“I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare not go forward, and I made a dead stop.” 以及第四段“But I knew that the bridge was not safe.”可知，Beauty停下是因为它感觉到桥不安全，无法通行。 24．第一段讲述Squire Gordon、John以及Beauty来到木桥，准备过河，对应e；第三段提到“he gave me a touch with the whip”，即主人用鞭子抽打Beauty，对应b；第三段最后提到“He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.”，即Beauty拒绝服从主人，对应d； 倒数第四段提到“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.”，即路人警告他们不要过断桥，对应a；最后一段讲述Beauty 因自己的决定得到了丰厚的奖赏，对应c。因此正确顺序为e-b-d-a-c。 25．根据划线句的上下文，Beauty阻止了过桥，随后路人告知桥已断裂，John说出这句话，可见John意识到Beauty的行为避免了一场灾难。 第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I love how Sven Birkerts put it in his book The Gutenberg Elegies, where he coined the term: “[Deep reading] is the slow and meditative (冥想的) possession of a book. We don’t just read the words, we dream our lives in their vicinity (附近).” What matters is that you remove distractions, open your mind, and really take your time with a book. 26 Deep reading serves as a journey into deeper understanding. It is not just about passing time, but about uncovering new ideas and views. 27 It provides a means of finding how we are interconnected with the world and how our own stories develop. 28 That is, making a quick pass over a text without fully understanding it. Yes, speed reading can be helpful in specific situations. But speed reading means consuming information like fast food: It feels like a quick win, but you don’t get long-lasting value out of it. Put differently: Speed reading is like looking through pictures of a place, but deep reading is like actually going there. 29 People are constantly in a hurry, prioritizing quantity over quality in their search for knowledge. Another problem with reading too much too quickly is reading for reading’s sake. For example, I notice the more books I read, the more I see them as vanity (虚荣) signs. 30 When you stuff your brain with information, it becomes tough to apply what you read. Books turn into a replacement of your actions rather than a supplement. A．Deep reading is not an escape, but a discovery. B．The evil sister of deep reading is speed reading. C．That’s why deep reading is also called slow reading. D．Sadly, speed reading is typical in our modern lifestyle. E．Deep reading offers a path to truly pursuing knowledge. F．Speed reading has gained popularity as a trendy concept. G．The number of books satisfies my self-praise rather than my mind. 【答案】26．C 27．A 28．B 29．D 30．G 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要对比了“深阅读”（慢读、深度理解）与“速读”（浅尝辄止），指出速读虽快但价值有限，深阅读才能带来持久收获和自我发现。 26．前文引用Sven Birkerts的话，描述了深阅读的特点——“缓慢而冥想式地拥有书籍”和“在文字附近幻想我们的生活”。后文进一步说明要“排除干扰、打开思维、慢慢读书”。选项C“That’s why deep reading is also called slow reading.”是对前文描述的总结，与“slow and meditative”和“take your time”呼应，符合语境。 27．前文提到深阅读“不只是消磨时间，而是发现新思想和观点”，后文说它“帮助我们找到自己与世界的关系”。选项A“Deep reading is not an escape, but a discovery.”与前后文内容一致，共同阐述深阅读的意义和价值。 28．后文对“speed reading”进行了定义和描述——“快速浏览文本而不完全理解”。选项B“The evil sister of deep reading is speed reading.”用比喻引入速读概念，与后文形成对比，且“evil sister”带有贬义，符合下文对速读的批判态度。 29．前文将速读比作“看照片”，深阅读比作“亲自去那里”，强调深阅读的真实体验。后文提到“人们总是匆匆忙忙，追求数量而非质量”。选项D“Sadly, speed reading is typical in our modern lifestyle.”承接前文对比，引出对现代人阅读习惯的批评，与后文“People are constantly in a hurry”衔接自然。 30．前文提到“读书越多，越把它们看作虚荣的标志”，后文说“大脑塞满信息，反而难以应用”。选项G“The number of books satisfies my self-praise rather than my mind.”具体解释了“虚荣”的含义，与前后文逻辑一致，说明为读书而读书的弊端。 第四部分 词汇运用(共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分) 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处 各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 31．Don’t be afraid.

What a great surprise! 【答案】received/eceived 【解析】句意：今天早上我收到了笔友的一封信。真是个大惊喜！根据首字母提示和句意“收到笔友的一封信”可知，此处表示“收到”，动词“receive”符合语境。结合时间状语“this morning”，句子时态应为一般过去时，因此动词“receive”需变为过去式received。故填received。 35．I spent half an hour ______ (讨论) these Maths problems with my group members. 【答案】discussing 【解析】句意：我花了半小时和我的小组成员讨论这些数学问题。根据“spent half an hour”提示，spend time (in) doing sth.“花费时间做某事”，后接动名词作宾语。“讨论”为动词discuss，其动名词形式是discussing。 36．To guide visitors well, a volunteer must be f________ with the city’s history and culture. 【答案】familiar/amiliar 【解析】句意：为了更好地引导游客，志愿者必须熟悉这座城市的历史和文化。 根据首字母“f”和“with the city’s history and culture.”可知志愿者需了解城市信息，固定搭配“be familiar with”表示“熟悉……”。故填familiar。 37．Cha Jing discusses where the finest tea l________ were produced and what kinds of water were used. 【答案】leaves/eaves 【解析】句意：《茶经》讨论了最好的茶叶产自哪里以及使用什么样的水。根据首字母提示以及“the finest tea…”可知，此处指的是茶叶，leaf意为“叶子”，符合语境；根据谓语动词“were produced”可知，主语应用复数形式，leaf的复数形式为leaves。故填leaves。 38．When Bob was a child, he ________ (更喜欢) baseball to basketball, but now he likes basketball better. 【答案】preferred 【解析】句意：当鲍勃还是个孩子的时候，比起篮球他更喜欢棒球，但是现在他更喜欢篮球了。句中“When Bob was a child”为过去的时间状语，提示动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时。中文提示“更喜欢”对应的单词为“prefer”，过去式需双写末尾辅音字母r再加-ed，即preferred。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从方框中选择适当的单词或短语，在答题卡标有题号的横 线上，填入其正确形式。每个单词或短语仅用一次。 make   during   write   paint   as In Chinese, doing something in the name of another is called dǎ huàngzi (打幌子). How did it come about? In ancient times, huangzi was a signboard (招牌) for a shop. Usually, it was 39 of cloth. Like a flag, it was hung in front of a shop. Huangzi appeared 40 the Spring and Autumn Period. It could show the product that a shop sold. Wine shops first started to use huangzi. Soon it became a popular way for different shops to sell their products. Printed with words and patterns, it let people know what a shop sold on sight. Ancient poems and paintings also recorded such signboards. Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, 41 “By hills and rills wine shop streamers wave in the breeze (水村山郭酒旗风).” The “streamers” are a type of huangzi. Along the River during the Qingming Festival (《清明上河图》), a famous 42 from the Northern Song Dynasty, also shows different types of huangzi. In the 20th century, huangzi disappeared. Instead, people put up fancy billboards (广告牌). However, the phrase da huangzi has been left. It can be used when a signboard says something, but the shop really sells something else. It is also used more often to say what people do is not the same 43 what they say. 【答案】39．made 40．during 41．wrote 42．painting 43．as 【解析】本文介绍了中文里“打幌子”一词的来源，讲述了古代“幌子”作为店铺招牌的演变历史，以及该词如今“名不副实”的含义。 39．句意：通常，它是由布制成的。“it was…of cloth”，“be made of”是固定搭配，意为“由……制成（能看出原材料）”，应该用“make”的过去分词形式是“made”。 40．句意：幌子出现在春秋战国时期。“Huangzi appeared…the Spring and Autumn Period”，“during”意为“在……期间”，后接时间段，符合“在春秋战国时期”的语境。 41．句意：唐代诗人杜牧写道：“水村山郭酒旗风。”“Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty,…”，杜牧是唐代诗人，该句为他所作诗句，“write”意为“写”，描述过去的事用过去式“wrote”。 42．句意：北宋著名画作《清明上河图》也展示了不同类型的幌子。“a famous…from the Northern Song Dynasty”，《清明上河图》是一幅绘画作品，“paint”的名词形式“painting”意为“画作”，符合语境。 43．句意：它也更常被用来指人们的行为与他们所说的不一样。“what people do is not the same…what they say”，“the same as”是固定搭配，意为“和……一样”，“as”符合语境。 第五部分 短文填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 World Environment Day falls on June 5 every year. It’s a day to remind people that it’s important to play a part in protecting the environment. According to 44 environmental programme, we throw out over 2 billion tons of household waste a year all over the world. And the amount (量) of household waste can increase quickly, especially in countries that depend heavily 45 packaging (包装) for products. Many countries deal with 46 (they) waste by simply burning it or putting it underground. These ways are dangerous 47 waste has a bad influence on the environment. So how should you 48 (correct) deal with your household waste? Firstly, before throwing something away, think about whether it can 49 (use) again. If your bike is broken, try to fix it up. If you don’t need something made of metal anymore, one of the best ways 50 (be) to take it to waste recovery (废品回收). And we encourage you 51 (give) your old books and clothes to people who need them Secondly, we should develop a good habit of sorting the waste. Usually, there are four different 52 (colour) of rubbish bins. The blue one is for things that can be recycled, such as glass bottles and paper boxes; the green one is for kitchen waste, such as banana or apple peels; the red one is for 53 (harm) waste like used batteries and out-of-date drugs; the yellow one is for other waste. 【答案】 44．an 45．on 46．their 47．because 48．correctly 49．be used 50．is 51．to give 52．colours 53．harmful 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了全球生活垃圾产量逐年增长的现状，错误处理垃圾的危害，同时给出了两条正确处理生活垃圾的可行建议，呼吁人们参与到保护环境中。 44．句意：根据一项环境项目（的数据），全球每年会扔掉超过20亿吨的生活垃圾。此处泛指“一项环境项目”，environmental是以元音音素开头的单词，需填不定冠词an。 45．句意：而且家庭垃圾的量会迅速增加，尤其是那些高度依赖产品包装的国家。固定搭配depend on意为“依赖”，因此填介词on。 46．句意：很多国家处理垃圾的方式仅仅是焚烧或者掩埋。此处修饰名词waste，需用they的形容词性物主代词their。 47．句意：这些方式很危险，因为垃圾会对环境造成不好的影响。后半句解释前半句“处理方式危险”的原因，需用连词because表原因。 48．句意：那么你应该如何正确处理生活垃圾呢？此处修饰动词短语deal with，需用correct的副词形式correctly。 49．句意：扔东西之前，先想一想它能不能被重复利用。此处物品it和动词use之间是被动关系，情态动词can后接被动语态结构“be+过去分词”，use的过去式是used。 50．句意：如果你不再需要某件金属物品，最好的办法之一就是把它送去废品回收。“one of+可数名词复数”作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式，本文为一般现在时，be动词用is。 51．句意：我们鼓励你把旧书和旧衣服给需要它们的人。固定搭配encourage sb to do sth意为“鼓励某人做某事”，需用不定式作宾补。 52．句意：通常有四种不同颜色的垃圾桶。four different后接可数名词复数。 53．句意：红色垃圾桶用来放有害垃圾，比如废旧电池和过期药品。此处修饰名词waste，需用harm的形容词形式harmful“有害的”。 第六部分 阅读表达(共3小题；54题2分，55题2分，56题3分，满分7分) 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 Good Communication with Parents: A Helpful Guide Sometimes we find it hard to talk with our parents. They may not understand our ideas, or we may disagree with their rules. Here are some suggestions to help improve communication at home. First, choose the right time to talk. Don’t start important conversations when your parents are tired or busy. Instead, find a calm moment when everyone has time to listen, like during dinner or on weekends. This shows respect for their time and feelings. Before talking, think about what you want to say. You can even write down your main points. For example, if you want more free time, prepare to explain how you will manage your study and free time responsibly. Good preparation helps you express yourself clearly. When speaking, use “I” instead of “you”. Say “I feel worried when...” rather than “You always make me...”. This sounds less blaming（指责的）and helps parents understand your feelings better. Remember to speak politely and keep a friendly tone. Listening is as important as speaking. When parents are talking, don’t interrupt（打断）them. Look at them and show you’re listening carefully. Even if you disagree, wait until they  finish before sharing your thoughts. If you still can’t agree, don’t get angry. You can say, “Can we think about this for a while and talk again tomorrow?” Sometimes taking a break helps everyone calm down and find better ways to solve the problems. Good communication takes practice, but it’s worth trying. It helps build trust and understanding between you and your parents, making your family relationship stronger and happier. 54．Why do we sometimes find it hard to talk with our parents? 55．What is the first suggestion to improve communication with parents? 56．What is your favorite way to communicate with your parents? Please explain why. 【答案】54．Because they may not understand us or we disagree with them./Because they may not understand our ideas, or we may disagree with their rules. 55．Choosing the right time to talk./Choose the right time to talk. 56．My favorite way is to talk with them during dinner. Because we can share our daily life and listen to each other quietly. (言之有理即可) 【解析】本文围绕“与父母良好沟通”这一主题，系统给出了4条提升亲子沟通的实用建议，帮助青少年改善家庭沟通、增进亲子理解，以下是逐题详细解析。 54．原文第一段开篇点明：“Sometimes we find it hard to talk with our parents. They may not understand our ideas, or we may disagree with their rules.”，这句话直接说明了我们难以和父母沟通的两个核心原因：一是父母可能不理解我们的想法，二是我们可能不认同他们的规则，两种表述均可作答。 55．原文第二段以“First, choose the right time to talk.”作为第一条建议的总起句，详细说明要避开父母疲惫忙碌的时间，选择晚餐、周末等大家都放松的时段沟通，因此第一条建议是选择合适的沟通时间，两种句式（动名词/动词原形）均符合答题要求。 56．本题为开放性试题，无固定标准答案，只要结合自身实际，说明喜欢的沟通方式并给出合理理由即可，示例答案贴合原文中“选择晚餐时间沟通”的建议，逻辑通顺、符合题意。 第七部分 书面表达(共1题；满分25分) 59．假设你是李华，你校英文报正在举办题为“A Small Change, A Big Difference”的征文活动。请你结合自己的经历，写一篇短文投稿，谈谈一个小改变给你带来的积极影响。 提示： 1. 简要介绍这个改变是什么； 2. 详细描述改变的过程； 3. 谈谈这个改变带来的积极影响。 要求： 1. 词数80-100 (短文开头已给出，不计入总词数) ； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 文中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 A Small Change, A Big Difference We are growing every day, and sometimes a small change can make a big difference in our lives. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 A Small Change, A Big Difference We are growing every day, and sometimes a small change can make a big difference in our lives.

He was the new kid at school, and everything felt strange. But the strangest thing of all was his lunchbox. Every morning, his mother woke up early to cook. 1 other kids brought sandwiches and chips, Eddie’s lunchbox held rice, vegetables, and meat with rich sauces. The smells filled the classroom when he opened 2 . “Why does your food smell so funny?” a boy named Greg asked on his first day. “Is that Chinese food?” another girl whispered. After that day, Eddie asked his mother for 3 . “Please, Mom. I don’t want to be different. I want to fit in.” His mother looked at him quietly. “Fine, I will make you one,” she said. The next day at lunch, he sat happily with Greg and some other boys. He opened his lunchbox 4 . But when he bit into the sandwich—plain (平淡的) bread, plain turkey, plain cheese — something felt missing. It was just... food. Greg noticed, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like sandwiches?” Eddie thought about his family cooking. How could he describe the way his grandmother’s recipe (菜谱) for red-cooked pork filled the whole house 5 love? How could he explain that every dish had a story and his family 6 through generations (世代)? How could he make them understand that Chinese food wasn’t just food — it was deep 7 in a bowl? That night at dinner, Eddie’s mother served his favorite — Mapo Tofu. “Mom,” Eddie said, “can I take this to school tomorrow?” His mother looked 8 . “I thought you wanted sandwiches.” Eddie shook his head. “Sandwiches are just food. Your cooking is... it’s like... it’s who we are.” His mother smiled. It was the biggest smile Eddie had seen. The next day at lunch, when Eddie opened his lunchbox, the good smell spread across the table. Greg came over and asked, “It must be very special. 9 I try some?” Eddie nodded. Greg took a bite of the Mapo Tofu. His eyes widened. “Wow,” he said. “This is amazing!

Let me tell you my story, straight from my own metal-and-motor heart. ________ Since day one, engineers at Unitree dreamed big: robots that could balance, sprint, leap and adapt. They gave me LiDAR, depth cameras and advanced motion control systems, and taught me how to stand firm, walk steadily, and finally dance. Robots like me practised hard before the night of 16 February, when hundreds of millions tuned in to watch the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. Then came the moment. I stepped onto one of the world’s brightest stages, right on cue with my fellow robots, we were there to perform. At one point, I leapt into the air and flipped before landing squarely on my feet. The audience watched in awe before breaking into applause. Some of us even performed moves inspired by kung fu—all while children shared the stage with us. At one dramatic moment, one of us suddenly fell flat on his back. Just as the audience began to wonder what was happening, he rose smoothly to his feet. It turned out to be a trick—a classic drunken boxing move. Last year, robots first appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, twirling handkerchiefs and performing simple movements. We’ve improved a lot since then! Videos of this year’s show have gone viral online. People replay the flips. They slow down the kicks. “It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film,” one comment reads. At the same time, they ask, “What will robots do next?” That question excites me. Because the gala stage is only the beginning. In the future, robots like me may work in places where people need extra hands, such as care settings and disaster zones. And of course, some of us may remain in entertainment and education— performing, teaching, inspiring curiosity in children who look at us and think, “I want to build something like that one day.” The gala was my debut. The future is my next stage. And I am ready to step forward. 14．Which of the following fits best in the ________? A．I wasn’t built to sit quietly on a shelf. B．I was created in a large factory in China. C．People often believe robots are only cold machines. D．Many robots are built for display rather than action. 15．The drunken boxing move was designed to ________. A．test whether the robot could recover from a fall B．create a surprising moment for the audience C．show the robot’s control over its movements D．introduce the robot’s new performance style 16．How does the writer show the robots’ progress? A．By giving detailed numbers about their training. B．By comparing this year’s show with last year’s. C．By describing their appearance in a scientific way. D．By explaining how engineers improved the robots. 17．Why does the writer tell the story in the first person? A．To explain technical details more clearly. B．To make the story more personal and lively. C．To show how robots are controlled. D．To present the gala in a relaxed tone. C Listening to music, watching movies, reading novels... Which kind of art is your go-to choice for fun? According to a new study, art not only calms your mind but also improves your physical health. For the first time, scientists in the UK found that art helps the immune (免疫的), endocrine (内分泌的) and nervous systems all at once, said The Guardian. The study included 50 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40. Half of them went to see real artworks at the Courtauld Gallery in London, while the other half looked at copies of the same paintings in a non-gallery setting. All of them wore health sensors throughout the experiment. The result showed a 22 percent drop in stress hormones (激素) for the gallery-goers and an 8 percent drop for the other group, according to Art Fund. Signs of inflammation (炎症) also went down by about 30 percent for the gallery group. It’s not just visual art that has such effects. For example, a 2021 Swiss study said that dance reduces stress by improving movement control. What makes art so powerful? Scientists have different ideas. One, developed by Edward Vessel at the City College of New York, looks to our brain’s default mode network (默认模式网络). This network is thought to play a key role in creativity—it usually stays quiet when we pay attention to things around us. But when we enjoy art, this network becomes active. Although we are still learning how this works, ________. According to American Scientist, art therapy was first developed to help traumatized (心理受创的) World War II soldiers express their feelings. Those painful experiences often hurt the parts of their brains that control speech, so traditional talking therapy didn’t work well. Since then, art therapy has helped over 650 million people around the world. Marygrace Berberian, a professor at New York University, said in the university’s news in September that number-based studies, like the new UK study, can help more people get art therapy. 18．What does the result of the UK study show? A．Young people benefit more from viewing art. B．Looking at art copies is of little benefit to health. C．Painting is the most helpful art for lowering stress. D．Stress went down more for the gallery-goers group. 19．What does Edward Vessel’s theory suggest about art? A．It makes people’s memory become better. B．It makes the brain’s special network active. C．It makes the brain’s usual activity weaker. D．It makes people careless about the outside. 20．Which of the following is the most suitable for ________? A．art’s power has long been used in treatment B．art’s power is still doubted by scientists C．art’s power has been fully understood by scientists D．art’s power hasn’t been used in treatment till now 21．How does the writer develop the passage? A．By describing research steps. B．By offering interesting ideas. C．By using many examples. D．By listing different art forms D One day in autumn Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man on the other side saw us. “Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired. — Adapted from Black Beauty 22．What was the weather like when they started the trip? A．Rainy and windy. B．Stormy and dark. C．Cold and dry. D．Foggy and cold. 23．Why did Beauty stop suddenly on the bridge? A．Because he was too tired to pull the cart any more. B．Because he felt the bridge was not safe to cross. C．Because he was afraid of the heavy rain and strong wind. D．Because he wanted to wait for the man on the other side. 24．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. The man warned them not to cross the broken bridge. b. The master touched Black Beauty with the whip. c. Black Beauty was well rewarded for his decision. d. Black Beauty refused to obey his master at the bridge. e. They three came to a wooden bridge, ready to cross the river. A．e-b-d-a-c B．b-d-a-e-c C．e-d-c-a-b D．d-b-e-c-a 25．What can we infer from the underlined sentence “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!”? A．John regretted hitting Beauty with the whip earlier. B．John recognized that Beauty’s behavior avoided a disaster. C．John thought Beauty was lucky to see the bridge was dangerous. D．John planned to give Beauty a reward for his bravery later. 第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I love how Sven Birkerts put it in his book The Gutenberg Elegies, where he coined the term: “[Deep reading] is the slow and meditative (冥想的) possession of a book. We don’t just read the words, we dream our lives in their vicinity (附近).” What matters is that you remove distractions, open your mind, and really take your time with a book. 26 Deep reading serves as a journey into deeper understanding. It is not just about passing time, but about uncovering new ideas and views. 27 It provides a means of finding how we are interconnected with the world and how our own stories develop. 28 That is, making a quick pass over a text without fully understanding it. Yes, speed reading can be helpful in specific situations. But speed reading means consuming information like fast food: It feels like a quick win, but you don’t get long-lasting value out of it. Put differently: Speed reading is like looking through pictures of a place, but deep reading is like actually going there. 29 People are constantly in a hurry, prioritizing quantity over quality in their search for knowledge. Another problem with reading too much too quickly is reading for reading’s sake. For example, I notice the more books I read, the more I see them as vanity (虚荣) signs. 30 When you stuff your brain with information, it becomes tough to apply what you read. Books turn into a replacement of your actions rather than a supplement. A．Deep reading is not an escape, but a discovery. B．The evil sister of deep reading is speed reading. C．That’s why deep reading is also called slow reading. D．Sadly, speed reading is typical in our modern lifestyle. E．Deep reading offers a path to truly pursuing knowledge. F．Speed reading has gained popularity as a trendy concept. G．The number of books satisfies my self-praise rather than my mind. 第四部分 词汇运用(共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分) 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处 各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。 31．Don’t be afraid.

How did it come about? In ancient times, huangzi was a signboard (招牌) for a shop. Usually, it was 39 of cloth. Like a flag, it was hung in front of a shop. Huangzi appeared 40 the Spring and Autumn Period. It could show the product that a shop sold. Wine shops first started to use huangzi. Soon it became a popular way for different shops to sell their products. Printed with words and patterns, it let people know what a shop sold on sight. Ancient poems and paintings also recorded such signboards. Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, 41 “By hills and rills wine shop streamers wave in the breeze (水村山郭酒旗风).” The “streamers” are a type of huangzi. Along the River during the Qingming Festival (《清明上河图》), a famous 42 from the Northern Song Dynasty, also shows different types of huangzi. In the 20th century, huangzi disappeared. Instead, people put up fancy billboards (广告牌). However, the phrase da huangzi has been left. It can be used when a signboard says something, but the shop really sells something else. It is also used more often to say what people do is not the same 43 what they say. 第五部分 短文填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 World Environment Day falls on June 5 every year.

According to 44 environmental programme, we throw out over 2 billion tons of household waste a year all over the world.

For example, if you want more free time, prepare to explain how you will manage your study and free time responsibly. Good preparation helps you express yourself clearly. When speaking, use “I” instead of “you”. Say “I feel worried when...” rather than “You always make me...”. This sounds less blaming（指责的）and helps parents understand your feelings better. Remember to speak politely and keep a friendly tone. Listening is as important as speaking. When parents are talking, don’t interrupt（打断）them. Look at them and show you’re listening carefully. Even if you disagree, wait until they  finish before sharing your thoughts. If you still can’t agree, don’t get angry. You can say, “Can we think about this for a while and talk again tomorrow?” Sometimes taking a break helps everyone calm down and find better ways to solve the problems. Good communication takes practice, but it’s worth trying. It helps build trust and understanding between you and your parents, making your family relationship stronger and happier. 54．Why do we sometimes find it hard to talk with our parents? 55．What is the first suggestion to improve communication with parents? 56．What is your favorite way to communicate with your parents?
