On July 12, 2024, sudden flash floods hit Heping Village in central China’s Hunan Province. 24-year-old Li Wei, a new college graduate, turned his trip home into a life-saving task. He braved fast-rushing floodwaters to rescue (营救) 12 stuck villagers.
Li had returned to his hometown just two days before the disaster, preparing for an important coming exam. The continuous heavy rain lasted 38 hours nonstop, making the nearby mountain river rise above its banks quickly. By 5 a.m., most of the village’s low-lying areas were covered by 2 meters of water. Houses were badly damaged, and all outside roads were completely cut off, leaving many villagers stuck in flooded homes with no way to call for help.
Most villagers had left for the safe hillside before the water rose sharply, but Li headed straight for the flooded area the moment he heard cries for help. He picked up a rubber boat and set off at once to begin the rescue. “I grew up here, so I know every path and corner of the village like the back of my hand,” Li said. “I couldn’t just stand by and watch.”
The water was far more dangerous than Li expected, with broken tree branches and house pieces that could easily damage his boat. He made over 10 round trips in 6 hours. At one point, his boat was broken by a sharp stick, and he fell into the water. He caught a broken tree, fixed the boat with a rope, and continued his rescue work, even as his phone and exam review materials were washed away. By late afternoon, he brought all 12 villagers to the safe area, with no one hurt. The local government awarded him for his bravery, but Li said anyone would have done the same.
4. Why did Li Wei return to his hometown before the flood?
A. To work as a volunteer in the village.
B. To receive an award as a volunteer.
C. To help with the flood prevention work.
D. To prepare for a coming examination.
5. What allowed Li Wei to take the life-saving action immediately?
A. His professional rescue training. B. The perfect land conditions.
C. The help from other villagers. D. His familiarity with the village.
6. Which of the following can best describe Li Wei according to the text?
A. Brave and selfless. B. Honest and generous.
C. Careful and confident. D. Devoted and hard-working.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Serious Flash Flood in Hunan Province.
B. The Importance of Flood Aid Preparation.
C. A Young Graduate’s Heroic Rescue in a Flood.
D. Tips on Staying Safe During Natural Disasters.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了2024年湖南和平村突发山洪,刚毕业的大学生李伟返乡备考,却不顾危险勇救12名被困村民的英雄事迹。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Li had returned to his hometown just two days before the disaster, preparing for an important coming exam.(李在灾难发生前两天刚回到家乡,准备一场即将到来的重要考试)”可知,李伟返回家乡是为了准备即将到来的考试。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I grew up here, so I know every path and corner of the village like the back of my hand(我在这里长大,所以对村里的每条小路和每个角落都了如指掌)”可知,李伟对村子非常熟悉,让他能立刻展开救援。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The water was far more dangerous than Li expected, with broken tree branches and house pieces that could easily damage his boat. He made over 10 round trips in 6 hours. At one point, his boat was broken by a sharp stick, and he fell into the water. He caught a broken tree, fixed the boat with a rope, and continued his rescue work, even as his phone and exam review materials were washed away. By late afternoon, he brought all 12 villagers to the safe area, with no one hurt. The local government awarded him for his bravery, but Li said anyone would have done the same.(水比李预计的危险得多,到处是折断的树枝和房屋碎片,很容易损坏他的船。他在6小时内往返了10多次。有一次,他的船被一根尖锐的树枝划破,他掉进了水里。他抓住一棵断树,用绳子把船修好,然后继续他的救援工作,尽管他的手机和考试复习资料都被冲走了。到傍晚时分,他把12名村民都带到了安全地带,无人受伤。当地政府为他的勇敢行为授予了奖励,但李说任何人都会这么做)”可知,李伟冒着洪水危险多次往返救人,不顾自身财物与复习资料受损,体现出他勇敢且无私。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段“On July 12, 2024, sudden flash floods hit Heping Village in central China’s Hunan Province. 24-year-old Li Wei, a new college graduate, turned his trip home into a life-saving task. He braved fast-rushing floodwaters to rescue 12 stuck villagers.(2024年7月12日,突发的山洪袭击了中国中部湖南省的和平村。24岁的李伟是一名刚毕业的大学生,他将回家之旅变成了一场救援行动。他冒着湍急的洪水,救出了12名被困村民)”是文章主旨句,后文围绕年轻毕业生李伟在洪水中的英勇救援行为展开。C项“A Young Graduate’s Heroic Rescue in a Flood.(一名年轻毕业生在洪水中的英勇救援)”是最好的标题。
C
Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a special book about one of our most common daily things — the book. It brings together nearly 300 pieces of art about books from museums around the world. Paintings of people reading have shown up in art for thousands of years, even long before the modern books we use today were invented. In artists’ works about books and reading, we can see warm moments shared by people everywhere, no matter which culture or time they come from.
In this “book of books”, the art pieces are chosen and put in order to show the connections between different times and cultures. We can see scenes of children learning to read at home or school, where books help build close relationships between the old and the young. Adults are shown alone in different scenes: lost in a book, deep in thought, or enjoying a quiet free moment. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
In paintings, books are sometimes used as a sign to show a person’s cleverness, money and social position, or what they believe in. Before printing tools were widely used, books were very valuable, and even works of art themselves. These days, books are cheap and even often thrown away after use. So artists use them as materials to make new art, turning book covers, pages or whole books into paintings and other art pieces.
People once thought the development of digital tools would make printed books no longer popular. In the 21st century, printed books seem very old, but they are still as fun to use in your own way as any e-reader. A book only comes to life when you use it: you open the cover, turn the pages, read the words, and can even write notes or draw lines. Unlike our busy online lives, where every piece of information we look at is recorded, a printed book still offers a totally personal, “off-line” experience.
8. What is the main topic of the book?
A. The history of printing tools around the world
B. Art pieces about books and reading across the world
C. Warm stories of children learning to read at home
D. Differences between printed books and e-readers
9. What are the chosen artworks in the book mainly about?
A. Books and reading B. Family and school
C. Happiness and loneliness D. Work and fun
10. What do the underlined words “relate to” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Paint B. Understand C. Create D. Miss
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the printed book?
A. Unsure B. Negative C. Supportive D. Uncaring
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了《阅读艺术:书籍爱好者的艺术》这本特别的书籍,展示了世界各地以书籍与阅读为主题的艺术作品,介绍画作中书籍的象征意义、艺术价值,并表达了作者对纸质书的认可与肯定。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a special book about one of our most common daily things — the book. It brings together nearly 300 pieces of art about books from museums around the world. (《阅读艺术:书籍爱好者的艺术》是一本特别的书籍,探讨了我们日常生活中最常见的事物之一——书籍。它汇集了来自世界各地博物馆的近300件关于书籍的艺术作品。)”可知,这本书的主要主题是关于世界各地与书籍和阅读相关的艺术作品。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It brings together nearly 300 pieces of art about books from museums around the world. (它汇集了来自世界各地博物馆的近300件关于书籍的艺术作品。) ”以及第二段“In artists’ works about books and reading, we can see warm moments shared by people everywhere, no matter which culture or time they come from. (在艺术家关于书籍和阅读的作品中,我们可以看到世界各地人们分享的温暖时刻,无论他们来自哪种文化或时代。) ”可知,书中选出的艺术作品主要是关于书籍和阅读的。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to. (这些场景可能是在几百年前绘制的,但它们记录了我们都能relate to的时刻。) ”以及前文描述的这些场景是人们分享的温暖时刻,可知这些场景是人们能够理解和共鸣的,所以“relate to”在此处意为“理解”,与understand同义。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the 21st century, printed books seem very old, but they are still as fun to use in your own way as any e-reader. A book only comes to life when you use it: you open the cover, turn the pages, read the words, and can even write notes or draw lines. Unlike our busy online lives, where every piece of information we look at is recorded, a printed book still offers a totally personal, “off-line” experience. (在21世纪,纸质书看起来很古老,但它们仍然像任何电子阅读器一样,以你自己的方式使用起来很有趣。一本书只有在你使用它时才会变得生动起来:你打开封面,翻页,阅读文字,甚至可以写笔记或画线。与我们忙碌的在线生活不同,我们看到的每一条信息都会被记录下来,而纸质书仍然提供一种完全个人化的、“离线”的体验。)”可知,作者认为纸质书仍然有其独特的价值和乐趣,支持纸质书的使用。

Making new friends is not easy — even for smart animals that can talk well. Recently, researchers at the University of Cincinnati carried out an interesting study. They focused on how parrots make friends with birds they don’t know. The study was of great significance as its purpose was to understand the process of how parrots form social connections with unfamiliar birds.
The researchers put groups of parrots in a big cage where they could fly. Some of the birds had never met before. The team carefully observed the birds’ behavior, focusing on how they acted with each other. They paid special attention to how close the birds allowed each other to get and if they showed friendly behaviors like cleaning each other’s feathers or sharing space. A total of 179 interactions (互动) were recorded to see how new friendships were formed in the birds.
The study showed that parrots were watchful when meeting strange birds. Instead of rushing to make contact, they moved slowly toward each other, watching for any signs of danger. For example, they would stop and look around carefully before taking a few more steps. Over time, as they got used to seeing each other and felt more comfortable, they started showing behaviors like cleaning each other’s feathers, sitting together, and sharing food or even interacting closely. Some pairs would gently clean each other’s feathers, which is a clear sign of trust.
These findings help us better understand how animals make friends and also give us some ideas about human social behaviors. By studying how parrots take time to build trust, researchers can use this knowledge to improve social relationships in both animals and humans. This research is a good reminder that in both the animal and human worlds, trust grows slowly, and relationships need time to develop.
12. What was the purpose of the study?
A. To observe how parrots look in a big cage.
B. To learn how parrots make friends with strangers.
C. To study why parrots are smart animals.
D. To record the number of parrots in the wild.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly describe about the research?
A. Its usual difficulties. B. Its research process.
C. Its research method. D. Its scientific basis.
14. Which of the following behaviors shows a sign of trust between parrots?
A. Moving quickly toward each other. B. Stopping and looking around carefully.
C. Gently cleaning each other’s feathers. D. Sharing space in the big cage at first.
15. What can we learn from the findings of the study?
A. Parrots find it hard to make new friends.
B. Trust grows slowly in both animal and human worlds.
C. Parrots prefer to stay in cages rather than nature.
D. Human social relationships are much better than animals’.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. B

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Some pairs would gently clean each other’s feathers, which is a clear sign of trust.(有些鹦鹉会轻轻梳理彼此的羽毛,这是信任的明显标志)”可知,鹦鹉之间轻轻梳理彼此的羽毛是信任的标志。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This research is a good reminder that in both the animal and human worlds, trust grows slowly, and relationships need time to develop.(这项研究很好地提醒我们,在动物和人类世界中,信任都是慢慢建立的,关系需要时间来发展)”可知,我们从研究结果中可以得知,在动物和人类世界中,信任都是慢慢建立的。

Why Should We Protect Wild Animals?
Wild animals are an important part of our planet’s ecosystem. ___16___ Yet many of them are facing serious threats (威胁) caused by human activities. It’s time for us to take action to protect them before it’s too late.
___17___ One of them is the loss of habitats. As cities grow larger and forests are cut down, wild animals lose their homes and food sources. For example, many kinds of birds can’t find enough trees to build nests or enough insects to eat. Another big threat is illegal (非法的) hunting. Some people hunt wild animals for their fur, horns (角), or meat to make money. ___18___ Besides, pollution, including air, water and soil pollution, also makes living conditions worse for wild animals. It poisons their food and damages their health.
So what can we do to help? First, we should learn more about wild animals and the problems they face. ___19___ For instance, we can tell our family and friends not to eat wild animal meat or buy products made from wild animals.
Second, we can support wildlife protection groups. They work hard to save endangered animals, create safe habitats and fight against illegal hunting. Even small actions like donating money or volunteering can make a difference.
Third, we should try to live in a more environmentally friendly way. ___20___ Using less paper, saving water and reducing rubbish can all help protect animal living spaces. If everyone makes an effort, we can build a better world for both animals and humans.
A. Knowledge is the first step to action.
B. There are many reasons why wild animals are in danger.
C. They help keep nature balanced and provide great value to humans.
D. This has pushed some rare species to the edge of extinction.
E. Zoos are good places to see different kinds of wild animals.
F. We can plant more trees and reduce pollution in our daily lives.
G. Many wild animals are dying out faster than we can imagine.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. A 20. F

【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:但每一粒米都必须煮得完美。该空需要副词perfectly修饰动词cooked。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:秘诀在于细节。固定搭配lie in意为“在于,存在于”。
【41题详解】
考查省略句。句意:在炒制时,张大厨快速移动锅以确保每一粒米都能分开。在when引导的状语从句的主语与主句主语一致,从句为when Chef Zhang is frying,从句主语与be动词可省略,此空填现在分词形式。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“年轻的厨师们常常会匆忙完成这一环节”他说,“但正是这一环节让我们的炒饭独具特色。”该空需要关系词引导定语从句修饰名词the step,并指代先行词在从句中作主语,应填关系代词that或which。

46. She woke up early enough ________ (catch) the earliest bus, but it was already full. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to catch
【解析】

【答案】whose
【解析】
【详解】句意:Tony给我看了他的新手机,它的屏幕很小,但可以随天气变化而变色。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词在从句中作“screen”定语,用关系代词whose引导从句。

49. The factory ________ his father worked for 20 years has been closed down. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】句意:他父亲工作了20年的那家工厂已经倒闭了。空格处引导定语从句,先行词是the factory,关系词在定语从句his father worked for 20 years中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where。
50. A new hospital _________ (build) in our city, and it is expected to be completed next year. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】is being built
【解析】
【详解】考查动词的时态和语态。句意:我们城市正在建一所新医院,预计明年完工。根据后句“it is expected to be completed next year”可知,医院目前正在建设中,应用现在进行时;主语a new hospital与build之间为被动关系,需用被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数。故填is being built。
51. The boy with ________ my mother is talking is my cousin. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whom
【解析】
【详解】句意:正在和我妈妈说话的那个男孩是我的表弟。空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词boy指人,作介词with的宾语,只能用关系代词whom。

53. She has a lot of homework ________ (finish) before Friday, so she can’t go with us to the cinema. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to finish
【解析】
【详解】句意:在周五之前她有许多作业要完成,所以她不能和我们一起去看电影。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰homework,homework与finish构成主动关系,且表示将来的动作,所以用动词不定式。
54. The government has passed new laws ________ (reduce) industrial waste. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to reduce
【解析】
【详解】句意:政府已经通过了旨在减少工业废物的新法律。此处用不定式to reduce作目的状语,表示通过新法律的目的是减少工业废物。
55. If ________ (ask) to make a speech, he would refuse politely. (所给词的适当形式填空)

【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。表示“使……生生不息”使用动词短语breathe life into,句子是描述一个事实,使用一般现在时,主语The Amazon rainforest表示单数意义,谓语动词使用三单形式,故填①breathes②life③into。
60. Over the past 50 years, about 17 percent of the rainforest has disappeared ________ ________ human activities such as agriculture and cattle farming.
在过去的50年里,由于农耕和养牛等人类活动,约17%的雨林已经消失了。

________ ________ ______
空气中的烟雾把天空染成了烟灰色,这还让我患上了咳嗽,久治不愈。

她立刻意识到这些是海啸来临的征兆。
【答案】 ①. dawned ②. on/upon
【解析】
【详解】根据英汉意思对比可知,本题要翻译“意识到”;It是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句that these were signs of an approaching tsunami,所填内容为句子谓语;从句谓语were是be动词的过去式,所填部分也要用动词的过去式;dawn on/upon是固定短语,意为“意识到”,符合题干要求,dawn的过去式是dawned。

On July 12, 2024, sudden flash floods hit Heping Village in central China’s Hunan Province. 24-year-old Li Wei, a new college graduate, turned his trip home into a life-saving task. He braved fast-rushing floodwaters to rescue (营救) 12 stuck villagers.
Li had returned to his hometown just two days before the disaster, preparing for an important coming exam. The continuous heavy rain lasted 38 hours nonstop, making the nearby mountain river rise above its banks quickly. By 5 a.m., most of the village’s low-lying areas were covered by 2 meters of water. Houses were badly damaged, and all outside roads were completely cut off, leaving many villagers stuck in flooded homes with no way to call for help.
Most villagers had left for the safe hillside before the water rose sharply, but Li headed straight for the flooded area the moment he heard cries for help. He picked up a rubber boat and set off at once to begin the rescue. “I grew up here, so I know every path and corner of the village like the back of my hand,” Li said. “I couldn’t just stand by and watch.”
The water was far more dangerous than Li expected, with broken tree branches and house pieces that could easily damage his boat. He made over 10 round trips in 6 hours. At one point, his boat was broken by a sharp stick, and he fell into the water. He caught a broken tree, fixed the boat with a rope, and continued his rescue work, even as his phone and exam review materials were washed away. By late afternoon, he brought all 12 villagers to the safe area, with no one hurt. The local government awarded him for his bravery, but Li said anyone would have done the same.
4. Why did Li Wei return to his hometown before the flood?
A. To work as a volunteer in the village.
B. To receive an award as a volunteer.
C. To help with the flood prevention work.
D. To prepare for a coming examination.
5. What allowed Li Wei to take the life-saving action immediately?
A. His professional rescue training. B. The perfect land conditions.
C. The help from other villagers. D. His familiarity with the village.
6. Which of the following can best describe Li Wei according to the text?
A. Brave and selfless. B. Honest and generous.
C. Careful and confident. D. Devoted and hard-working.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Serious Flash Flood in Hunan Province.
B. The Importance of Flood Aid Preparation.
C. A Young Graduate’s Heroic Rescue in a Flood.
D. Tips on Staying Safe During Natural Disasters.

Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a special book about one of our most common daily things — the book. It brings together nearly 300 pieces of art about books from museums around the world. Paintings of people reading have shown up in art for thousands of years, even long before the modern books we use today were invented. In artists’ works about books and reading, we can see warm moments shared by people everywhere, no matter which culture or time they come from.
In this “book of books”, the art pieces are chosen and put in order to show the connections between different times and cultures. We can see scenes of children learning to read at home or school, where books help build close relationships between the old and the young. Adults are shown alone in different scenes: lost in a book, deep in thought, or enjoying a quiet free moment. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
In paintings, books are sometimes used as a sign to show a person’s cleverness, money and social position, or what they believe in. Before printing tools were widely used, books were very valuable, and even works of art themselves. These days, books are cheap and even often thrown away after use. So artists use them as materials to make new art, turning book covers, pages or whole books into paintings and other art pieces.
People once thought the development of digital tools would make printed books no longer popular. In the 21st century, printed books seem very old, but they are still as fun to use in your own way as any e-reader. A book only comes to life when you use it: you open the cover, turn the pages, read the words, and can even write notes or draw lines. Unlike our busy online lives, where every piece of information we look at is recorded, a printed book still offers a totally personal, “off-line” experience.
8. What is the main topic of the book?
A. The history of printing tools around the world
B. Art pieces about books and reading across the world
C. Warm stories of children learning to read at home
D. Differences between printed books and e-readers
9. What are the chosen artworks in the book mainly about?
A. Books and reading B. Family and school
C. Happiness and loneliness D. Work and fun
10. What do the underlined words “relate to” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Paint B. Understand C. Create D. Miss
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the printed book?
A. Unsure B. Negative C. Supportive D. Uncaring
D
Making new friends is not easy — even for smart animals that can talk well. Recently, researchers at the University of Cincinnati carried out an interesting study. They focused on how parrots make friends with birds they don’t know. The study was of great significance as its purpose was to understand the process of how parrots form social connections with unfamiliar birds.
The researchers put groups of parrots in a big cage where they could fly. Some of the birds had never met before. The team carefully observed the birds’ behavior, focusing on how they acted with each other. They paid special attention to how close the birds allowed each other to get and if they showed friendly behaviors like cleaning each other’s feathers or sharing space. A total of 179 interactions (互动) were recorded to see how new friendships were formed in the birds.
The study showed that parrots were watchful when meeting strange birds. Instead of rushing to make contact, they moved slowly toward each other, watching for any signs of danger. For example, they would stop and look around carefully before taking a few more steps. Over time, as they got used to seeing each other and felt more comfortable, they started showing behaviors like cleaning each other’s feathers, sitting together, and sharing food or even interacting closely. Some pairs would gently clean each other’s feathers, which is a clear sign of trust.
These findings help us better understand how animals make friends and also give us some ideas about human social behaviors. By studying how parrots take time to build trust, researchers can use this knowledge to improve social relationships in both animals and humans. This research is a good reminder that in both the animal and human worlds, trust grows slowly, and relationships need time to develop.
12. What was the purpose of the study?
A. To observe how parrots look in a big cage.
B. To learn how parrots make friends with strangers.
C. To study why parrots are smart animals.
D. To record the number of parrots in the wild.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly describe about the research?
A. Its usual difficulties. B. Its research process.
C. Its research method. D. Its scientific basis.
14. Which of the following behaviors shows a sign of trust between parrots?
A. Moving quickly toward each other. B. Stopping and looking around carefully.
C. Gently cleaning each other’s feathers. D. Sharing space in the big cage at first.
15. What can we learn from the findings of the study?
A. Parrots find it hard to make new friends.
B. Trust grows slowly in both animal and human worlds.
C. Parrots prefer to stay in cages rather than nature.
D. Human social relationships are much better than animals’.

Why Should We Protect Wild Animals?
Wild animals are an important part of our planet’s ecosystem. ___16___ Yet many of them are facing serious threats (威胁) caused by human activities. It’s time for us to take action to protect them before it’s too late.
___17___ One of them is the loss of habitats. As cities grow larger and forests are cut down, wild animals lose their homes and food sources. For example, many kinds of birds can’t find enough trees to build nests or enough insects to eat. Another big threat is illegal (非法的) hunting. Some people hunt wild animals for their fur, horns (角), or meat to make money. ___18___ Besides, pollution, including air, water and soil pollution, also makes living conditions worse for wild animals. It poisons their food and damages their health.
So what can we do to help? First, we should learn more about wild animals and the problems they face. ___19___ For instance, we can tell our family and friends not to eat wild animal meat or buy products made from wild animals.
Second, we can support wildlife protection groups. They work hard to save endangered animals, create safe habitats and fight against illegal hunting. Even small actions like donating money or volunteering can make a difference.
Third, we should try to live in a more environmentally friendly way. ___20___ Using less paper, saving water and reducing rubbish can all help protect animal living spaces. If everyone makes an effort, we can build a better world for both animals and humans.
A. Knowledge is the first step to action.
B. There are many reasons why wild animals are in danger.
C. They help keep nature balanced and provide great value to humans.
D. This has pushed some rare species to the edge of extinction.
E. Zoos are good places to see different kinds of wild animals.
F. We can plant more trees and reduce pollution in our daily lives.
