Here are the three students’ answers. I usually help my parents do cleaning jobs like taking out rubbish, cleaning up the kitchen and living room and so on. After doing this, I feel that I love my home better than before, because it looks cleaner, especially when I sit on the comfortable sofa. Lucy To me, a sweet home is always full of peace and love. I usually show it by helping parents with the dinner. When having dinner together, we all have a strong sense of home. It seems that the dinner is more delicious. However, I don’t have time to do it from Monday to Thursday. Bill For a home, good communication can bring us a lot of nice feelings. If the talk is open, it’ll make us have no walls between us. We can freely talk about different subjects that we like. Then we can have a deep feeling of love. Jack 1. When can Bill help parents with the dinner? A. On Monday. B. On Thursday. C. On Friday. 2. What can we learn from the material? A. Lucy often helps pack up the clothes. B. Bill can cook a very delicious dinner. C. Jack thinks open talk can bring them closer. 【答案】1. C 2. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是Miller老师对三位学生的采访内容，分别介绍了Lucy、Bill、Jack对“家”的理解与日常做法：Lucy通过帮父母做家务感受家的温暖，Bill通过帮父母准备晚餐体会家的归属感，Jack认为良好的沟通能让家人更亲密。 【1题详解】 Bill的回答中提到“I don’t have time to do it from Monday to Thursday.”，说明他周一到周四没有时间帮父母准备晚餐，因此能在周五帮忙。 【2题详解】 Jack 的回答中提到“If the talk is open, it’ll make us have no walls between us.”，意思是开放的交流能消除家人之间的隔阂，让彼此更亲近。 B Before each exam season, all you can think about is studying, preparing, and trying to get the best grades. Even after the exams, some new worries seem to pop into your mind. You may wonder, “Did I write that correctly? Why did I even waste time on that question?” But did you know this stressful exam period also teaches you important life lessons? Check out what these lessons are, and keep them in mind. They matter far more than just exams and will last a lifetime. Time management (管理) is the first lesson you can learn. Before exams, you carefully plan hours for each subject — sometimes even giving up fun activities or gatherings to study. This helps you learn not only how to use time wisely, but also how to stick to your timetable. Resilience is also a gift exams give you. There are moments when you push yourself to prepare for your exams, but you push through and keep trying. That resilience is the strength to face challenges without giving up, even when things are quite difficult. Finally, exams build self-awareness (自我意识). You have to stay calm when surprises happen — like unexpected questions or lower grades than you hoped. Exams help you know yourself better — how you study, what motivates (激励) you, and what holds you back. The awareness is the first step towards growth. So next time exams get you down, remember: they are not just about grades. Every exam is secretly training you for bigger challenges ahead. When life throws you a “pop test”, you’ll realize you’ve already practiced the skills to deal with it. 3. What does the writer tell us in paragraph 1? A. Students should take all exams seriously. B. Students often feel worried before and after exams. C. Students should forget about exams after they are over. 4. What can students learn when they prepare for exams? A. How to use time in a wise way. B. How to focus on favourite subjects. C. How to make a perfect reviewing plan. 5. What does the underlined word “Resilience” mean? A. The ability to learn new skills quickly. B. The habit of keeping away from challenges. C. The strength to keep trying even facing difficulties. 6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How to Get Good Grades in Exams B. Life Lessons from Exams C. The Stressful Exam Season 【答案】3. B 4. A 5. C 6. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了虽然考试期间会有压力，但是能从考试中学到重要的人生技能，让人终身受益。 【3题详解】 第一段主要描述了学生考前会整日学习，考后也会不断冒出许多担忧，说明了学生在考前和考后都会焦虑。 【4题详解】 根据“Time management (管理) is the first lesson you can learn...This helps you learn not only how to use time wisely”可知，备考时学生可以学会如何明智地利用时间。 【5题详解】 根据“Resilience is...the strength to face challenges without giving up, even when things are quite difficult”可知，Resilience指的是遇到挑战仍不放弃的力量。 【6题详解】 全文主要讲述了从备考中可以学会一些重要的人生技能，B项“从考试中学到的生活启示”符合文章标题。 C Swifts (雨燕) are small birds that live mostly in the air. They are one of the fastest animals on Earth. In fact, swifts can fly for two or three days without touching the ground! To live well in the sky, they use their great speed and the saliva (唾液). Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour. That’s because their wings are like boomerangs (回旋镖)—this shape helps them fly fast. They can also move one wing faster than the other, which lets them turn quickly without slowing down. This helps swifts catch small flying insects to eat. The saliva helps swifts catch insects to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue. When they find a group of small insects, they open their mouths wide and catch as many as possible. They keep the insects together in a small sticky ball made of saliva. One ball can have almost 1,000 insects! Swifts also use their saliva glue to build their homes. They catch feathers like glue (羽毛) in the air and stick them together with the saliva to make a strong home. Their short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for a long time, but their sharp claws (锋利的爪子) help them hold onto rocks and walls. So, they can rest for a short time before flying back to the sky. 7. Which of the following is TRUE about swifts in Paragraph 2? A. They can only stay in the air for a few hours. B. They need to slow down when turning. C. They use their wings to turn quickly. 8. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. The saliva. B. The air. C. The shape. 9. Which of the following is TRUE about swifts according to Paragraph 4? A. Their strong claws allow them to rest safely. B. They prefer to walk on land. C. They build soft nests using only feathers. 10. What is the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ...) A. B. C. 【答案】7. C 8. A 9. A 10. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了雨燕如何在空中生活，包括它们的飞行能力、唾液的作用以及它们的脚和爪子的特点。 【7题详解】 第二段提到 “They can also move one wing faster than the other, which lets them turn quickly without slowing down.” 明确说明了雨燕通过让一侧翅膀比另一侧摆动更快来快速转弯且不减速。 【8题详解】 在第三段中，前文提到 “The saliva helps swifts catch insects to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue.” 这里 “it” 指代前面提到的 “the saliva”，用来描述唾液像胶水一样粘，用于粘住昆虫。 【9题详解】 第四段指出 “their sharp claws (锋利的爪子) help them hold onto rocks and walls. So, they can rest for a short time before flying back to the sky.” 表明雨燕锋利的爪子帮助它们抓住岩石和墙壁，从而能够短暂休息。 【10题详解】 第一段总述雨燕是主要在空中生活的小鸟，引出主题。第二段介绍雨燕的飞行能力，如飞行速度快、转弯灵活等；第三段讲述雨燕唾液的作用，包括捕捉昆虫喂幼鸟和粘成昆虫球；第四段说明雨燕用唾液筑巢以及脚和爪子的情况。整体呈现出总分的结构。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） When holding a party, people usually want to invite some friends and their relatives (亲戚). ___11___ Writing a party invitation is an art.

Here are the three students’ answers. I usually help my parents do cleaning jobs like taking out rubbish, cleaning up the kitchen and living room and so on. After doing this, I feel that I love my home better than before, because it looks cleaner, especially when I sit on the comfortable sofa. Lucy To me, a sweet home is always full of peace and love. I usually show it by helping parents with the dinner. When having dinner together, we all have a strong sense of home. It seems that the dinner is more delicious. However, I don’t have time to do it from Monday to Thursday. Bill For a home, good communication can bring us a lot of nice feelings. If the talk is open, it’ll make us have no walls between us. We can freely talk about different subjects that we like. Then we can have a deep feeling of love. Jack 1. When can Bill help parents with the dinner? A. On Monday. B. On Thursday. C. On Friday. 2. What can we learn from the material? A. Lucy often helps pack up the clothes. B. Bill can cook a very delicious dinner. C. Jack thinks open talk can bring them closer. B Before each exam season, all you can think about is studying, preparing, and trying to get the best grades. Even after the exams, some new worries seem to pop into your mind. You may wonder, “Did I write that correctly? Why did I even waste time on that question?” But did you know this stressful exam period also teaches you important life lessons? Check out what these lessons are, and keep them in mind. They matter far more than just exams and will last a lifetime. Time management (管理) is the first lesson you can learn. Before exams, you carefully plan hours for each subject — sometimes even giving up fun activities or gatherings to study. This helps you learn not only how to use time wisely, but also how to stick to your timetable. Resilience is also a gift exams give you. There are moments when you push yourself to prepare for your exams, but you push through and keep trying. That resilience is the strength to face challenges without giving up, even when things are quite difficult. Finally, exams build self-awareness (自我意识). You have to stay calm when surprises happen — like unexpected questions or lower grades than you hoped. Exams help you know yourself better — how you study, what motivates (激励) you, and what holds you back. The awareness is the first step towards growth. So next time exams get you down, remember: they are not just about grades. Every exam is secretly training you for bigger challenges ahead. When life throws you a “pop test”, you’ll realize you’ve already practiced the skills to deal with it. 3. What does the writer tell us in paragraph 1? A. Students should take all exams seriously. B. Students often feel worried before and after exams. C. Students should forget about exams after they are over. 4. What can students learn when they prepare for exams? A.

The ability to learn new skills quickly. B. The habit of keeping away from challenges. C. The strength to keep trying even facing difficulties. 6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How to Get Good Grades in Exams B. Life Lessons from Exams C.
