I got really impatient. “Hurry!” I said to Lily. “We’ll miss our flight!” But Lily listened politely and even 12 goodbye to the clerk when we left. On the plane I tried the cookies she bought—they were surprisingly tasty. Our hotel in Paris was near Montmartre (蒙马特), but the streets were 13 and confusing (令人困惑的). We argued over a map until a street artist stopped us. “Let me help!” He drew a cartoon map of Paris’ top 14 , such as Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe and even a cat café nearby. “A gift for brave travelers,” he grinned. On the third day in Paris, we went to the cat café on the map and ordered coffee. Suddenly, a cat jumped onto our table and took a croissant (可颂). “Hey!” I shouted. But Lily laughed. “It seems we need to watch out for the thief!” she joked, throwing the cat a biscuit. We spent the afternoon teaching it funny 15 and made friends with it. By our last day, we’d learned most of the underground lines in Paris and even named the cat “Pierre.” At the airport, Lily handed me the artist’s map. “Travelling isn’t about following the plan perfectly,” she said. “It’s about surprises!” I smiled. 【答案】11．C 12．F 13．B 14．D 15．A 【导语】本文讲述了莉莉和我去年夏天飞往巴黎的首次国外旅行经历，包括在机场商店购物、巴黎街道的情况、得到街头艺术家帮助了解景点，以及在猫咪咖啡馆和猫互动等一系列充满意外与惊喜的故事，体现旅行中不只是遵循计划，也有意外之喜。 11．句意：登机前，我们在机场商店停下来买些零食。店员一直推荐他们的巧克力饼干、芝士蛋糕和其他最新产品。根据“chocolate cookies, cheese cakes”及备选词可知，是指最新的产品，C选项“产品”符合语境。故选C。 12．句意：但莉莉很有礼貌地听着，我们离开时，她甚至向店员挥手告别。根据“goodbye to the clerk”及备选词可知，是挥手告别，waved是wave的过去式，wave goodbye“挥手告别”符合语境。故选F。 13．句意：我们在巴黎的酒店靠近蒙马特，但街道狭窄又令人困惑。根据“and confusing”及备选词可知，这里表示街道狭窄。B选项“狭窄的”符合语境。故选B。 14．句意：他画了一幅巴黎顶级景点的卡通地图，比如卢浮宫、凯旋门，甚至附近的一家猫咪咖啡馆。根据“such as Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe”及备选词可知，这里表示画了一幅景点卡通画。D选项“景点”符合语境。故选D。 15．句意：我们花了一下午教它有趣的小把戏，和它成了朋友。根据“taught it funny”及备选词可知，这里表示教小猫一些有趣的把戏，因此和小猫成为了朋友。A选项“把戏；诀窍”符合语境。故选A。 三、用所给单词的适当形式填空(共8分) 16．He forgot ________ (bring) his painting tools, so he had to borrow some. 【答案】to bring 【详解】句意：他忘记带他的绘画工具了，所以他不得不借一些。forget有两种用法：forget to do sth.忘记去做某事，事情还没做；forget doing sth.忘记做过某事，事情已经做了。根据后半句“so he had to borrow some”，说明他“忘记带绘画工具”这件事是“还没做”，因此用forget to do sth.的结构。故填to bring。 17．The artist’s works ________ (influence) many young people over the years. 【答案】have influenced 【详解】句意：这些年来，这位艺术家的作品影响了许多年轻人。句中“over the years”是现在完成时的标志，表示从过去持续到现在的动作，应用现在完成时。现在完成时结构为“have/has + 过去分词”，主语works为复数，助动词用have，influence的过去分词为influenced，故填have influenced。 18．If it ________ (rain) tomorrow, the art show will be held indoors. 【答案】rains 【详解】句意：如果明天下雨，艺术展览将在室内举行。if引导的条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则，从句主语是“it”，此处用rains。故填rains。 19．My brother ________ (collect) coins from different countries for eight years. 【答案】has collected 【详解】句意：我哥哥收集不同国家的硬币已经八年了。句中“for eight years”是表示一段持续时间的时间状语，这是现在完成时的典型标志。现在完成时的结构为“have/has+动词过去分词”。本句主语“My brother”是第三人称单数，因此助动词用“has”；动词“collect”的过去分词是“collected”。故填has collected。 20．The new financial service ________ (launch) by the bank last month is very popular. 【答案】launched 【详解】句意：银行上个月推出的新金融服务非常受欢迎。句中“by the bank”和“last month”表明，“financial service”是“被推出”的，且动作发生在过去。因此需要使用动词的过去分词作后置定语，表示被动和完成。动词“launch”的过去分词是“launched”。故填launched。 21．It’s necessary for us ________ (understand) the basics of personal finance. 【答案】to understand 【详解】句意：对我们来说，理解个人理财的基本知识是必要的。understand“理解”，It is necessary for sb. to do sth.表示“对某人来说做某事是必要的”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。故填to understand。 22．The students are learning how ________ (mix) colors to make different shades. 【答案】to mix 【详解】句意：学生们正在学习如何混合颜色以调出不同的色调。mix意为“混合”，此处为“疑问词+不定式”结构，how后需接to do形式作宾语，表示“如何去做某事”。因此填不定式。故填to mix。 23．By the time we arrived, the artist ________ (finish) his masterpiece. 【答案】had finished 【详解】句意：我们到达时，那位艺术家已经完成了他的杰作。根据“By the time we arrived”可知，“到达”这个动作发生在过去，“完成杰作”这个动作发生在“到达”之前，即过去的过去，所以句子时态应用过去完成时，其结构为“had+过去分词”，“finish”的过去分词是“finished”。故填had finished。 四、按要求填写句子，补全对话（每题2分，共10分） Complete the following sentences as required. (根据情景要求，完成句子。) Topic: An interview with a museum curator about a new art show. Reporter: Good morning. We are here at the City Art Museum with the curator, Ms. Vance.

They wanted to capture how natural light changes at different times of the day. Reporter: So, light is the key. 27 ?

With an impressive score of 412.30, the diving star achieved one of her long-held dreams: winning the National Games title in the women’s 10-meter platform (女子10米跳台). “I’m very happy to win,” she said calmly as she stepped onto the podium with her coach. These simple words, however, barely reveal (透露) the long and rocky road she took to reach this moment. From the 14th National Games in 2021 to the 2024 Paris Olympics, Chen was no stranger to gold in synchronized events (双人项目). But in individual competitions, she fell short time and again. After the Paris Olympics, she felt lost and began doubting (怀疑) her own abilities. The stress was beyond measure. At one point, even seeing the diving pool made her feel awful. “Honestly, all I wanted to do was escape,” the Olympian admitted. It was then that Chen recalled her coach’s favorite advice and decided to try diving one more time. Little by little, she pushed through her stress and regained her strength. At the 2025 World Aquatics Championships (世界游泳锦标赛) this past July, she finally won the women’s 10-meter platform again. This was, in fact, not her first act of courage. Chen had been naturally afraid of water. At the age of six, she tried diving for the first time, and that brave first jump set her on the path to becoming a champion. Years of hard practice alone aren’t enough for Chen to stand out in her sport. Now 20, Chen must strictly keep her weight at 42.5 kilograms to perform at her best. She reportedly weighs herself ten times a day. Chen also keeps an eye on her diet. She never eats sweets and usually takes only a few bites of vegetables when she’s at home. Chen has yet to win an Olympic gold medal in the women’s 10-meter platform. But with a stronger and calmer mind, she can now focus entirely on her dives. She has set her sights on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics — ready to push her limits once again. 29．The article begins with a moment from ________. A．the 2024 Paris Olympics B．the 14th National Games C．the 15th National Games D．the 2025 World Aquatics Championships 30．Before her wins at the 15th National Games, Chen had ________. A．won a few synchro diving titles B．never taken part in the National Games C．never topped the women’s 10-meter platform D．earned an Olympic gold in the women’s 10-meter platform 31．Chen wanted to escape from diving after the Paris Olympics because ________. A．her coach was too strict B．she became afraid of water C．she didn’t like the diving pool D．she lost her confidence in diving 32．According to the article, “her coach’s favourite advice” probably is “________”. A．Don’t be too hard on yourself B．Take another step even when it feels hard C．Share your feelings with your close friends D．Try something different when you’re feeling lost 33．Besides hard work, what has Chen done to stand out in the diving world? A．Strictly controlling her weight. B．Training with various partners. C．Trying several different sports. D．Regaining strength in her legs. 34．This article is mainly about ________. A．how hard Chen Yuxi trains daily B．how Chen Yuxi deals with her challenges as a diver C．how well Chen Yuxi performed at the 15th National Games D．how Chen Yuxi is preparing for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics 【答案】29．C 30．A 31．D 32．B 33．A 34．B 【导语】本文是一篇人物记叙文，主要讲述了跳水运动员陈芋汐克服个人项目屡屡失利的挫折，突破心理压力，最终实现自我成长，向着新目标进发的故事。 29．文章第一段明确提到：“Chen Yuxi completed her final dive at the 15th National Games with full confidence”，描述的是陈芋汐在第十五届全运会完成最后一跳的时刻。 30．文章第三段提到：“From the 14th National Games in 2021 to the 2024 Paris Olympics, Chen was no stranger to gold in synchronized events”，可知在第十五届全运会夺冠前，陈芋汐在双人项目中屡获金牌。 31．文章第三段说明：“After the Paris Olympics, she felt lost and began doubting her own abilities. The stress was beyond measure”，可见巴黎奥运会后，陈芋汐在个人项目屡屡失利，对跳水失去信心，因此想要逃离。 32．文章第四段提到：“It was then that Chen recalled her coach’s favorite advice and decided to try diving one more time”，可知陈芋汐陷入低谷想放弃时，想起教练的建议后决定再尝试一次跳水，一点点克服压力重获力量，符合“即使感觉艰难也要再迈出一步”的含义。 33．文章倒数第二段明确提到：“Years of hard practice alone aren’t enough for Chen to stand out in her sport. Now 20, Chen must strictly keep her weight at 42.5 kilograms to perform at her best”，可知她还严格控制自身体重以保持最佳竞技状态。 34．结合全文内容可知，本文围绕陈芋汐的跳水职业生涯，主要讲述了她作为跳水运动员如何应对各类挑战、突破自我的故事。 六、完形填空(共12分) Josh Primm has just moved to New York City with his parents.

Before boarding (登机), we stopped at an airport shop to buy some snacks. The clerk kept recommending (推荐) their chocolate cookies, cheese cakes and other latest 11 . I got really impatient. “Hurry!” I said to Lily. “We’ll miss our flight!” But Lily listened politely and even 12 goodbye to the clerk when we left. On the plane I tried the cookies she bought—they were surprisingly tasty. Our hotel in Paris was near Montmartre (蒙马特), but the streets were 13 and confusing (令人困惑的). We argued over a map until a street artist stopped us. “Let me help!” He drew a cartoon map of Paris’ top 14 , such as Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe and even a cat café nearby. “A gift for brave travelers,” he grinned. On the third day in Paris, we went to the cat café on the map and ordered coffee. Suddenly, a cat jumped onto our table and took a croissant (可颂). “Hey!” I shouted. But Lily laughed. “It seems we need to watch out for the thief!” she joked, throwing the cat a biscuit. We spent the afternoon teaching it funny 15 and made friends with it. By our last day, we’d learned most of the underground lines in Paris and even named the cat “Pierre.” At the airport, Lily handed me the artist’s map. “Travelling isn’t about following the plan perfectly,” she said. “It’s about surprises!” I smiled. 三、用所给单词的适当形式填空(共8分) 16．He forgot ________ (bring) his painting tools, so he had to borrow some. 17．The artist’s works ________ (influence) many young people over the years. 18．If it ________ (rain) tomorrow, the art show will be held indoors. 19．My brother ________ (collect) coins from different countries for eight years. 20．The new financial service ________ (launch) by the bank last month is very popular. 21．It’s necessary for us ________ (understand) the basics of personal finance. 22．The students are learning how ________ (mix) colors to make different shades. 23．By the time we arrived, the artist ________ (finish) his masterpiece. 四、按要求填写句子，补全对话（每题2分，共10分） Complete the following sentences as required. (根据情景要求，完成句子。) Topic: An interview with a museum curator about a new art show. Reporter: Good morning. We are here at the City Art Museum with the curator, Ms. Vance. The new exhibition on Impressionism is opening today. Ms. Vance: Good morning. We are very excited to bring these masterpieces to the public. It took us two years to organize this. Reporter: The gallery looks stunning. 24 ? (针对数量/内容提问) Ms. Vance: There are over fifty paintings on display, including works by Monet and Renoir. We also have some rare sketches that have never been shown before. Reporter: That’s impressive. Impressionism is very popular now, but history tells a different story. 25 ? (一般疑问句) Ms. Vance: No, they were not accepted by the art world at first. In the 19th century, critics thought their paintings looked “unfinished” and messy. Reporter: It’s hard to believe that now. These artists changed how we see the world. 26 ? (针对方式提问) Ms. Vance: They achieved this special effect by painting outdoors.

Impressionist paintings are best viewed from a distance so the colors can blend together in your eyes. 五、阅读理解 (共12分) Diving Into a Stronger Self In just 1.93 seconds — faster than it takes you to read this sentence — Chen Yuxi completed her final dive at the 15th National Games with full confidence. With an impressive score of 412.30, the diving star achieved one of her long-held dreams: winning the National Games title in the women’s 10-meter platform (女子10米跳台). “I’m very happy to win,” she said calmly as she stepped onto the podium with her coach. These simple words, however, barely reveal (透露) the long and rocky road she took to reach this moment. From the 14th National Games in 2021 to the 2024 Paris Olympics, Chen was no stranger to gold in synchronized events (双人项目). But in individual competitions, she fell short time and again. After the Paris Olympics, she felt lost and began doubting (怀疑) her own abilities. The stress was beyond measure. At one point, even seeing the diving pool made her feel awful. “Honestly, all I wanted to do was escape,” the Olympian admitted. It was then that Chen recalled her coach’s favorite advice and decided to try diving one more time. Little by little, she pushed through her stress and regained her strength. At the 2025 World Aquatics Championships (世界游泳锦标赛) this past July, she finally won the women’s 10-meter platform again. This was, in fact, not her first act of courage. Chen had been naturally afraid of water. At the age of six, she tried diving for the first time, and that brave first jump set her on the path to becoming a champion. Years of hard practice alone aren’t enough for Chen to stand out in her sport. Now 20, Chen must strictly keep her weight at 42.5 kilograms to perform at her best. She reportedly weighs herself ten times a day. Chen also keeps an eye on her diet. She never eats sweets and usually takes only a few bites of vegetables when she’s at home. Chen has yet to win an Olympic gold medal in the women’s 10-meter platform. But with a stronger and calmer mind, she can now focus entirely on her dives. She has set her sights on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics — ready to push her limits once again. 29．The article begins with a moment from ________.
