B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了上海格致中学高一学生盛晓涵在放学回家路上，运用在学校学到的急救技能救助了一位突发心脏病的老人，事后拒绝老人感谢礼物，其善良勇敢的行为值得大家学习，他的故事也传递了帮助他人的重要性。 【1题详解】 句意：他救了一位老人的生命。 这里表示泛指“一位老人”，old是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。a用于辅音音素开头的单词前；the表示特指。 【2题详解】 句意：2020年10月27日晚上9点左右，当他放学走在回家的路上时，他看到一群人围着一个人。 when表示“当……时候”，符合语境，即当他走在回家路上时看到了那一幕。after表示“在……之后”；until表示“直到……”，均不符合此处逻辑。 【3题详解】 句意：他立刻走过去，看到一位老人躺在地上。 see sb. doing sth.表示“看到某人正在做某事”，这里表示看到老人正躺在地上，lie的现在分词是lying。lied是lie的过去式，意为“撒谎”；lay是lie的过去式，意为“躺”，但此处强调正在进行的动作，要用现在分词形式。 【4题详解】 句意：他的脸色苍白，并且他呼吸有问题。 这里缺少主语，he是人称代词主格，可作主语；his是形容词性物主代词或名词性物主代词；him是人称代词宾格。 【5题详解】 句意：多亏了他在学校学到的急救技能，盛对老人做了大约五分钟的心肺复苏。 thanks to表示“多亏，由于”，是固定短语。Thank是动词原形；To thank是动词不定式，均不符合此处表达习惯。 【6题详解】 句意：盛悄悄地离开了，没有告诉任何人他的名字。 without表示“没有”，符合语境，即他没有告诉别人名字就离开了。with表示“有，和……一起”；for表示“为了”，均不符合文意。 【7题详解】 句意：他甚至给了盛一些好东西，但令他惊讶的是，盛拒绝了。 to one’s surprise表示“令某人惊讶的是”，是固定短语，这里用名词surprise。surprised是形容词，意为“感到惊讶的”，常用来形容人；surprising也是形容词，意为“令人惊讶的”，常用来形容事物。 【8题详解】 句意：许多老人都很孤独和虚弱，当他们需要帮助时，每个人都应该伸出援手。 lonely是形容词，意为“孤独的”，可作表语；alone可作形容词或副词，意为“独自的（地）”；loneliness是名词，意为“孤独”。这里需要形容词作表语，且强调内心的孤独感，用lonely更合适。 【9题详解】 句意：因为帮助别人是中华民族的传统美德。 这里作主语，要用动名词形式，helping是help的动名词形式；help是动词原形；helps是help的第三人称单数形式。 【10题详解】 句意：他的故事讲述了帮助他人的重要性，我们希望这种善良能传递下去。 这里需要用名词作主语，kindness是名词，意为“善良”；kind是形容词，意为“善良的”；kindest是kind的最高级形式。 Ⅲ.从A、B、C三个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。(每小题1.5分，共15分) Tian Haicheng is a farmer in a small village in Ningxia.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了在一个不幸的家庭，小女孩照顾残疾的爸爸，爸爸后来通过直播获得成功的故事。 【11题详解】 句意：他甚至失去了听力，变成了聋子。 根据“lost his ability to hear”可知失去听力意味着变聋，deaf听不见的，符合语境。 【12题详解】 句意：幸运的是，他的女儿佳佳和他在一起。 妻子离开但女儿留下，这是不幸中的万幸。Luckily幸运地，符合语境。 【13题详解】 句意：人们认为他可能会对自己感到难过。 主语是“he”，对应的反身代词是“himself”。 【14题详解】 句意：在上学前，小女孩还给他刷牙和洗脸。 固定搭配 brush teeth表示刷牙。stomach胃；head头；mouth嘴，均不能和brush搭配。 【15题详解】 句意：佳佳从学校回来后，给田喂饭，并用自己动手做的移动设备帮助他在家里四处走动。 移动装置是为了帮助移动。move移动，符合语境。 【16题详解】 句意：一开始，我不知道怎么刮胡子，我把爸爸的脸割伤了，流血了。 根据“Now I’m very good at shaving”可知，现在和刚开始形成对比，说明刚开始不会刮。beginning开始，符合语境。 【17题详解】 句意：但是爸爸说不疼。 根据“cut Dad’s face and it bled”和“But”可知，后文应与前文形成对比，虽然流血了，但爸爸安慰说不疼。hurt使疼痛符合逻辑。 【18题详解】 句意：在了解到人们通过直播赚钱后，田在四年前首次进行了尝试。 这里是第一次尝试直播。tried尝试符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：现在他很成功，拥有超过45万名粉丝。 根据“has more than 450,000 followers”可知，拥有大量粉丝说明很成功。successful成功的，符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意：我希望佳佳永远不要放弃学习。 根据“send Jiajia to the college in the future”可知，父亲希望女儿坚持学习，不要放弃。gives up屈服，符合语境。 Ⅳ. 阅读理解。(41-43每小题1分，44-59每小题2分，共35分) 阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 A East Daily March 7, 2025, Friday THEY NEED YOUR HELP This is the chance for you to help those less lucky members.

She dreamed they crept (爬) along the beach with bin bags in their hands. They bent down and shovelled (铲起) up jellyfish. Soon they had whole shivering sackfuls of them. Flies were buzzing all around them. “Oh no!” cried Laura, waking up. “The jelly workers are coming!” But it was all right. She was safe in her own bed. “It was just a bad dream,” she told herself. Yet on the dark beach, something was moving on the waves (海浪). It was Laura’s jellyfish shoes. They were coming back home. Gently, they washed in on the wave tops until at last a big wave washed them up on the sand. “ ▲ ” said Mum the next morning. “Guess what I just found on the beach?” Mum held up the jellyfish shoes. “These! I bet you didn’t even know you’d lost them.” Mum tipped up one of the shoes. A wrinkle fell out of the toe. “Here you are,” she said, handing the shoes to Laura. “You can put them back on now.” She pushed the shoes away: “I won’t put them back on!” she shouted. “You can’t make me!” Mum stared at her. “What on earth is the matter? I thought you’d be pleased to get them back.” “I don’t want them. I don’t want smelly shoes that make flies buzz all around me! Why did you do it, Mum? Why did you buy me shoes made of jellyfish?” And Laura rushed out of the door. Mum shook her head, puzzled. “Shoes made of jellyfish?” she said. “What’s she talking about? Do you know, Scott?” “Don’t ask me,” said Scott. But he looked a bit guilty (犯罪感的). —Adapted from Jellyfish Shoes 24. What does the underlined word them refer to? A. Jellyfish workers B. Jellyfish C. Flies D. Bin bags 25. Which sentence can be put back into ▲ ? A. What a tiring day to walk on the beach! B. What a strange thing I saw near the water edge! C. What a bit of good luck to find something you lost! D. What a disappointment to miss the beautiful sunset! 26. Why did Laura push the shoes away when her mum gave them back to her? A. She thought the shoes were too dirty. B. She was angry with her mum for buying them. C. She believed the shoes were made of jellyfish and were smelly. D. She wanted a new pair of shoes. 27. From the passage, we can infer that ________. A. Laura will never wear jelly shoes again in the future B. Scott will tell the truth to Mum about the story of jellyfish shoes C. Scott knew the real material (材料) of the shoes but didn’t want to tell mom. D. Mum will buy Laura a new pair of non-jellyfish-made shoes. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Laura梦见水母工人，第二天早上妈妈捡回她丢失的“水母鞋”，她却拒绝穿并大喊鞋子臭，妈妈感到困惑，而Scott显得有些内疚。 【24题详解】 根据第一段“They bent down and shovelled up jellyfish. Soon they had whole shivering sackfuls of them.”可知，划线词“them”指代前文提到的“jellyfish”。 【25题详解】 空白处后妈妈问“Guess what I just found on the beach?”并举起鞋子，说明她为找到丢失的东西感到幸运。C项“找到丢失的东西真是好运气！”符合语境。 【26题详解】 根据Laura的喊话“I don’t want smelly shoes that make flies buzz all around me! Why did you buy me shoes made of jellyfish?”可知，她认为鞋子是水母做的且很臭，因此推开鞋子。 【27题详解】 文章末尾Mum问Scott，Scott说“Don’t ask me”但“looked a bit guilty”，可推断Scott知道鞋子的真实材料（并非水母做的）却不愿告诉妈妈。 C Kalie missed school but she couldn’t go. She felt tired. Her throat was really sore and her nose kept running: Kalie sat on the sofa, wrapped up in a quilt. She just couldn’t get warm! “You feel hot. A flu virus (病毒) must have caught you!” said Kalie’s mom as she felt Kalie’s forehead. “A flu what?” “A flu virus. It’s so small that you can’t even see it!” “But how could something so small make me sick?” “Well, good question. Once a virus gets into your body, it finds a cell (细胞). It forces (迫使) that cell to make more of the virus. As more and more of the virus is made, it spreads throughout your body.” “And that makes me ill?” “Kind of. The things you feel, like your fever, your runny nose…that’s your body fighting off the virus!” “You need to drink more water when you have the flu.” Kalie drank some of her hot tea. “So, there’s a fight going on inside me?” “Yes,” said her mom. “And you’re doing two of the best things you can do. Drink clear water and rest!” “I texted Sonja. She says that some other kids in our class got the flu, too. But not her. She got a vaccine (疫苗). Is that true, Mom?” “Oh, yes. A vaccine gives you a tiny bit of the virus, not enough to make you sick, but just enough to allow your body to know the virus and learn how to protect itself.” “So if I got a vaccine, I wouldn’t get the flu?” “That’s right,” Kalie’s mom stopped. She looked sad. “Sorry, we didn’t get the vaccine this year. But we will for sure next year!” 28. Which is the right order of the following events? ①Kalie knew why Sonja didn’t catch the flu. ②Kalie had a sore throat and a running nose. ③Kalie’s mother explained why Kalie wasn’t feeling well. ④Kalie was advised to drink more water and take a break A. ②①③④ B. ②③④① C. ②④③① D. ②③①④ 29. Which of the following is NOT true about the flu virus? A. The flu virus is so small that people cannot even see it with eyes. B. The flu virus could make us feel uncomfortable. C. Kalie had a sore throat, a running nose and a fever because of the flu. D. After the flu vaccine gets into our body, it makes the cell make a great deal of virus. 30. Why did Kalie’s mother feel sad at last? A. Because she was very worried about Kalie’s illness. B. Because she didn’t know how to make Kalie feel better. C. Because she didn’t vaccinate Kalie earlier. D. Because she didn’t have enough money to treat Kalie. 31. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The Virus B. A Bad Day C. Fighting the Flu D. Getting the Vaccine 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Kalie患了流感，妈妈告诉她得流感的原因以及她应该做些什么。 【28题详解】 事件发生的正确顺序为：首先Kalie感到喉咙痛、流鼻涕（第一段“Her throat was really sore and her nose kept running”）；然后妈妈解释她不舒服的原因（第二至五段“A flu virus must have caught you...that’s your body fighting off the virus!”）；接着妈妈建议她多喝水、多休息（第六段“You need to drink more water…Drink clear water and rest!”）；最后Kalie得知Sonja没得流感的原因（第七段“She got a vaccine...Is that true, Mom?”及第八段妈妈解释疫苗的作用）。正确顺序为②③④①。 【29题详解】 根据原文，A项对应“It’s so small that you can’t even see it!”（第三段）；B项对应“the things you feel, like your fever, your runny nose…that’s your body fighting off the virus!”（第五段）；C项对应“Her throat was really sore and her nose kept running…You feel hot”（第一、二段）；D项说“流感疫苗进入人体后会让细胞制造大量病毒”，但原文第七段指出“A vaccine gives you a tiny bit of the virus, not enough to make you sick, but just enough to allow your body to know the virus and learn how to protect itself.”，因此D项不正确。 【30题详解】 根据最后一段“Sorry, we didn’t get the vaccine this year. But we will for sure next year!”以及“She looked sad.”可知，妈妈伤心是因为没有提前给Kalie接种疫苗。 【31题详解】 通读全文，文章主要围绕Kalie得流感、妈妈解释病毒、建议休息喝水以及疫苗话题，核心是“与流感作斗争”，因此最佳标题是“Fighting the Flu”。 D For more than two months, the world has been very excited about a new AI model (模型) called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code (代码), and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of Open AI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips (芯片) for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money. DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global (全球的) math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version (版本) of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started to study it. A German scientist said experiments (实验) with R1 cost $10 instead of (而不是) $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous US. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” US tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving (证明) that smart ideas beat expensive tools. As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 32. How does the writer mainly develop (展开) the passage? A. By providing examples B. By listing numbers C. By following the order of time D. By comparing R1 with other AIs 33. What do the underlined words mean in paragraph 2? A. It becomes better through practice. B. It copies answers from other AIs. C. It needs programmers to fix mistakes. D. It only works with expensive tools. 34. Why does the engineer say, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use”? A. To explain why R1 is free. B. To compare R1 with Meta’s AI. C. To encourage students to study math. D. To show that expensive AI models have no value 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how computer chips work. B. To introduce a low-cost AI model from China. C. To encourage students to become programmers. D. To compare Chinese and American AI technologies. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国研发的低成本AI模型DeepSeek-R1，它通过自行迭代提升能力，成本远低于同类产品且免费开放，展示了创新和努力比金钱更重要。 【32题详解】 文章通过列出具体数据“The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of Open AI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips (芯片) for two months.”和“For example, in a global (全球的) math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than Open AI’s model.”以及将R1与Open AI、Meta等模型进行对比来展开说明。 【33题详解】 第二段划线部分“learns by trying many times and getting better”意为“通过多次尝试变得更好”，即通过练习进步。 【34题详解】 工程师说这句话是为了解释为什么R1是免费的——让人人都能用，而不是只有富人。 【35题详解】 全文主要介绍来自中国的低成本AI模型DeepSeek-R1的特点、优势及影响。 E ①Do you have trouble trying to create (创造) the next big idea? Why not try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander (漫游)? Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming. ②Daydreams allow (允许) your mind to run freely and even increase productivity (生产力) in some situations. Daydreaming develops creativity which is why you have an ah-ha moment. Daydreaming allows you to come up with thoughts and ideas you did not realize you even had. ③Researchers(研究者) from the University of California found relation (关系) between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes (包括) making participants (参与者) first do an “unusual-use task”. It makes them try to think of as many different ways to use an object (物体) as they could. ④Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: finish a difficult task, finish an easy task, take a 12-minute break, or skip (跳过) a 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again. ⑤Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that finished the easy task (任务). Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock (解锁) their creativity. ⑥But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is your “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way. ⑦When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control (控制), it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas. Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander. 36. What is the main idea of the passage about daydreaming? A. Daydreaming is a waste of time. B. Daydreaming can help with creative problem - solving. C. People should always daydream. D. Daydreaming is harmful to our minds 37. According to the passage, the “unusual-use task” makes participants ________. A. find different uses for an object B. finish a very hard task C. do a very simple task D. have a rest every 12 minutes 38. The underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in paragraph 6 means “________” in the passage. A. stop dealing with information from the outside world B. think about a problem without even knowing it C. know clearly what you're thinking and doing D. think in a subtle way under your own control 39. What’s the best structure (结构) of this passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. B 39. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了白日梦与创造性解决问题的关系，指出白日梦能让思维自由驰骋，甚至在某些情况下提高生产力，还通过研究说明白日梦有助于解锁创造力，并解释了白日梦如何帮助大脑想出有创意的方法。 【36题详解】 第一段提到：“If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming”，这直接说明如果你需要新想法，可以尝试做白日梦，引出白日梦与新想法创造这一话题。 【37题详解】 第三段提到：“Their study includes (包括) making participants (参与者) first do an “unusual-use task”. It makes them try to think of as many different ways to use an object (物体) as they could”，说明“不寻常用途任务”是让参与者想出尽可能多的使用一个物体的不同方法，即让参与者为物体找到不同的用途。 【38题详解】 第六段提到：“Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way”，说明“unconscious thought”指的是甚至在你没有意识到的情况下思考问题，也就是不知不觉地思考问题。 【39题详解】 第一、二段引出白日梦与创造力的话题，说明白日梦能发展创造力；第三、四、五段通过研究说明白日梦有助于解锁创造力；第六、七段解释了白日梦如何帮助大脑想出有创意的方法，所以文章结构为①②/③④⑤/⑥⑦。 Ⅴ.口语运用。(每小题1分，共5分) 阅读下面对话，从7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 A: Hi, Betty, are there any plans tomorrow?

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Mark和Betty约定明天一起去做志愿活动，Mark表达了对志愿活动的兴趣，二人就此展开对话。 【40题详解】 Mark询问Betty明天是否有计划，Betty回答要去一个课后阅读项目做志愿工作，Mark觉得这听起来很有趣，接下来应该询问Betty在那里具体要做什么，E项“What are you going to do there?”符合语境，能够自然衔接下文。 【41题详解】 Mark问Betty对志愿工作的看法，D项“I think it’s very meaningful.”直接表达了对志愿工作意义的肯定，与上文询问看法的语境相符。 【42题详解】 Betty表达了对志愿工作的积极看法后，Mark说自己也喜欢阅读，接着询问能否一起去，A项“Can I go with you tomorrow?”符合对话推进逻辑。 【43题详解】 Mark询问明天何时何地见面，G项“How about at 8 a.m. at No. 346 bus stop?”给出了具体的时间和地点，符合询问见面的语境。 【44题详解】 Mark说“Sounds good. See you then.”，B项“See you.”是常见的回应告别语，与上文呼应。 第Ⅱ卷(55分) VI.任务型阅读。(共10分) 第一节：阅读下文并回答问题。(65-67小题2分，68小题4分，共10分) Good evening, dear students! This is School News. Today’s story is about an 11-year-old girl, Jennifer. One day, she watched the Oprah Winfrey Show about the poor children in Africa. Some of them lived a very hard life because their parents died from AIDS (艾滋病). After watching the show, Jennifer decided to help those African children. She took out all of her pocket money. She had 360 dollars. She told her parents that she wanted to send the money to Africa to help the children. They found an organization for Jennifer to give away her money. Jennifer’s money helped a girl. The girl was only eight years old. Jennifer got a letter from the girl a few months later. The girl told Jennifer she was doing well. She was excited because she was getting ready to start school for the first time. Jennifer knew she made a change in that girl’s life. Jennifer knew she could help more children. She had a new goal (目标). It’s to raise 60,000 dollars. During this time, Jennifer was ill and had to stay in hospital. However, she didn’t stop raising money. She asked her friends and family to give away money to her instead of (而不是) sending her flowers and gifts when they came to the hospital to visit her. Dear students, are you touched by Jennifer’s story? If so, I hope that there will be more Jennifers. 45. Did some poor African children live a very hard life? ________________________________________________ 46. What did Jennifer decide to do after watching the show? ________________________________________________ 47. How did Jennifer help the poor African children? ________________________________________________ 48. If you were a volunteer, what would you like to do? And why? ________________________________________________ 【答案】45. Yes, they did. 46. She decided to help those African children. 47. She gave away her pocket money and tried to raise more money to help them. 48. I would like to help poor children in remote areas, because I want to bring them hope and help them receive education like other kids. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述11岁女孩Jennifer受节目触动，捐零花钱帮助非洲儿童，生病仍坚持筹款，呼吁更多人献爱心。 【45题详解】 第一段直接描述“Some of them lived a very hard life because their parents died from AIDS”，明确指出非洲贫困儿童生活艰难，此处用肯定回答。 【46题详解】 第二段开头说明“After watching the show, Jennifer decided to help those African children”，直接提取她的决定。 【47题详解】 第二段讲述“She had 360 dollars. She told her parents that she wanted to send the money to Africa to help the children.”，她先捐出360美元零花钱；第三段讲述“She had a new goal. It’s to raise 60,000 dollars.”，她设定目标筹款6万美元，概括她的帮扶方式。 【48题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，可结合文中Jennifer无私助人的事迹，表达自己想参与公益、帮助他人的意愿。 VII.词汇运用。(每小题1分，共12分) 根据句子意思，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空，注意其形式的变化。 49. Are your parents ________ (interest) in your life at school? 【答案】interested 【解析】 【详解】句意：你的父母对你在学校的生活感兴趣吗？interest“使感兴趣”，为动词。此处用于系动词are之后，与介词in构成固定搭配be interested in，表示“对……感兴趣”，故用其形容词形式interested。 50. Why do you put off ________ (have) a birthday party for your grandpa? 【答案】having 【解析】 【详解】句意：你为什么推迟为你爷爷举办生日聚会呢？have“举办”，动词。put off doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“推迟做某事”，所以此处应用have的动名词形式having。 51. He keeps many ________ (home) dogs and cats because they have no place to live and have no food to eat. 【答案】homeless 【解析】 【详解】句意：他收留了许多无家可归的狗和猫，因为它们没有地方住，也没有食物吃。home“家”，根据“because they have no place to live in and have no food to eat.”可知，此处指无家可归的狗和猫，用home的形容词形式homeless表示“无家可归的”，作定语修饰dogs and cats。 52. He is the ________ (own) of the large house. 【答案】owner 【解析】 【详解】句意：他是这个大房子的主人。“the + 名词 + of”结构，表示“……的……”，own“拥有”，是动词，此处需要“所有者、主人” 的名词，owner“主人”符合语境。 53. I passed the math exam! I had a strong ________ (feel) of satisfaction when I heard the result. 【答案】feeling 【解析】 【详解】句意：我通过了数学考试！当我听到结果时，我有一种强烈的满足感。feel“感觉”，动词，句中“a strong...of satisfaction”表示“一种强烈的……感”，此处需要用名词形式，feel的名词形式是feeling，意为“感觉”。 54. They are good mountain ________ (climb) and often take risks in big and high mountains. 【答案】climbers 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们是优秀的登山者，经常在大山和高山冒险。climb“爬”，动词。根据“They are good mountain...”可知，此处指登山者，climb的名词形式为climber，且根据“They are”可知，此处用名词复数形式climbers。 55. Along the street, you can see a lot of traffic ________ (sign). 【答案】signs 【解析】 【详解】句意：沿着这条街，你可以看到很多交通标志。sign“标志”，是名词。a lot of“很多”，后接可数名词复数或不可数名词，sign是可数名词，其复数形式是signs。 56. I’m making some plans ________ (work) in an old people’s home this summer. 【答案】to work 【解析】 【详解】句意：今年夏天，我正在制定一些计划去养老院工作。work“工作”，根据“I’m making some plans...in an old people’s home this summer.”可知，制定计划的目的是去养老院工作，此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to work。 57. Tom saw the baby ________ (sit) on the floor when he arrived home. 【答案】sitting 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆到家时，看见婴儿正坐在地板上。sit“坐”，动词。根据“when he arrived home.”可知，此处强调动作正在进行，see sb. doing sth.“看见某人正在做某事”，空处需用现在分词sitting。 58. My English teacher often tells us not to give up ________ (try) new things. 【答案】trying 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的英语老师经常告诉我们不要放弃尝试新事物。try“尝试”，动词。根据“give up”可知，此处考查give up doing sth.“放弃做某事”，固定短语，因此这里应用try的动名词形式trying。 59. I can’t decide when ________ (take) a holiday. 【答案】to take 【解析】 【详解】句意：我不能决定什么时候去度假。take“拿；取；进行”，此处是“疑问词+动词不定式”结构，在句中作动词decide的宾语，所以take要用不定式形式to take。 60. More and more people begin to realize the ________ (important) of the environment. 【答案】importance 【解析】 【详解】句意：越来越多的人开始意识到环境的重要性。important“重要的”，句中“the...of”结构中间应使用名词形式，important的名词形式是importance，意为“重要性”。 VIII.完成句子。(83-89每空1分，90-91每小题2分，共18分) 根据所给提示，完成句子。每空一词，含缩略词。 61. Jimmy hurt himself in PE class. (改为否定句) Jimmy ________ ________ himself in PE class. 【答案】 ①. didn’t ②. hurt 【解析】 【详解】句意：吉米在体育课上伤到了自己。根据“Jimmy hurt himself in PE class.”可知，hurt没有用第三人称单数形式，说明这里hurt是过去式，句子是一般过去时。在一般过去时的句子中，变否定句需要借助助动词didn’t，且助动词后接动词原形。故填didn’t；hurt。 62. The girl used to be shy. (改为否定句) The girl ________ ________ to be shy. 【答案】 ①. didn’t ②. use 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个女孩过去常常很害羞。原句中“used”是关键词，“used to do sth.”表示“过去常常做某事”，其否定形式是“didn’t use to do sth.”，即在原句中添加助动词didn’t ，同时将used变为原形use。 63. He should lie down and rest right now.(对划线部分提问) ________ should he ________ right now? 【答案】 ①. What ②. do 【解析】 【详解】句意：他现在应该躺下休息了。划线部分表示他现在应该做的事，应用what提问，位于句首，首字母要大写，should为情态动词，划线部分用do替代。故填What；do。 64. Why don’t you think out a good plan for the school trip first? (改为同义句) Why don’t you ________ ________ with a good plan for the school trip first? 【答案】 ①. come  ②. up  【解析】 【详解】句意：你为什么不先为学校郊游想出一个好计划呢？think out意为“想出”，同义固定短语为come up with，Why don’t you后接动词原形。 65. Lisa在上周就花光了所有的钱。 Lisa ________ ________ of all the money last week. 【答案】 ①. ran ②. out 【解析】 【详解】原句中“花光”是关键词。Lisa作主语，“花光”对应的英文表达是“run out of”。时间状语last week说明时态为一般过去时，所以“run”要用过去式“ran”。故填ran；out。 66. 她情绪很低落，因此我想做些事情使她振作起来。 She is very upset, so I want to do something to ________ her ________. 【答案】 ①. cheer ②. up 【解析】 【详解】原句中“使她振作起来”是关键词，“使某人振作起来”对应的英文常用表达是“cheer sb. up”，此句中“sb.”用“her”，所以依次填入cheer；up。 67. 这个电影明星将捐赠100万元给一所乡村小学。 The movie star will ________ RMB 1,000,000 to a village school. 【答案】donate 【解析】 【详解】原句中“捐赠”是关键词，“捐赠”对应的英文表达是“donate”，情态动词will后跟动词原形。 68. 如果你有时间，请打电话召集10个同学。 ____________________________________ 【答案】If you have time, please call to gather ten classmates. 【解析】 【详解】“如果你有时间，请打电话召集10个同学。”译为If you have time, please call to gather ten classmates。其中“If you have time”表示“如果你有时间”，为条件状语从句；“please call”表示“请打电话”；“to gather ten classmates”为不定式作目的状语，表示“召集10个同学”。 69. the, stopped, thinking, car, twice, driver, his, without (.) (连词成句) ____________________________________ 【答案】The car stopped without his driver thinking twice. 【解析】 【详解】根据所给标点“.”可知应用陈述句的形式。分析所给单词，“The car”作句子主语，表示“那辆车”；“stopped”是谓语动词，表示“停止”；“without”是介词，表示“没有”；“his driver”是名词短语，表示“他的司机”；“thinking twice”是动名词短语作宾语，表示“再三考虑”。 IX.书面表达。(共15分) 70. 国际志愿者日即将到来，某国际学校校报为此向全校师生征稿稿件，要求讲述自己的志愿工作难忘的经历或故事。假如你是李明，请你讲述你的志愿经历或故事并向校报投稿。 内容包括： 1、志愿工作过程； 2、志愿工作中生病并得到帮助； 3、对参加此次活动的收获或看法。 要求： 1. 80~120词，文章开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 文章中不得出现班级、学校及姓名等真实信息。 参考词汇：volunteer to do, be interested in, have a cold/fever/headache/stomachache...

My friends stayed by my side, ensuring I took my medicine on time. This experience taught me the importance of teamwork and compassion.

They bent down and shovelled (铲起) up jellyfish. Soon they had whole shivering sackfuls of them. Flies were buzzing all around them. “Oh no!” cried Laura, waking up. “The jelly workers are coming!” But it was all right. She was safe in her own bed. “It was just a bad dream,” she told herself. Yet on the dark beach, something was moving on the waves (海浪). It was Laura’s jellyfish shoes. They were coming back home. Gently, they washed in on the wave tops until at last a big wave washed them up on the sand. “ ▲ ” said Mum the next morning. “Guess what I just found on the beach?” Mum held up the jellyfish shoes. “These! I bet you didn’t even know you’d lost them.” Mum tipped up one of the shoes. A wrinkle fell out of the toe. “Here you are,” she said, handing the shoes to Laura. “You can put them back on now.” She pushed the shoes away: “I won’t put them back on!” she shouted. “You can’t make me!” Mum stared at her. “What on earth is the matter? I thought you’d be pleased to get them back.” “I don’t want them. I don’t want smelly shoes that make flies buzz all around me! Why did you do it, Mum? Why did you buy me shoes made of jellyfish?” And Laura rushed out of the door. Mum shook her head, puzzled. “Shoes made of jellyfish?” she said. “What’s she talking about? Do you know, Scott?” “Don’t ask me,” said Scott. But he looked a bit guilty (犯罪感的). —Adapted from Jellyfish Shoes 24. What does the underlined word them refer to? A. Jellyfish workers B. Jellyfish C.

Her throat was really sore and her nose kept running: Kalie sat on the sofa, wrapped up in a quilt. She just couldn’t get warm! “You feel hot. A flu virus (病毒) must have caught you!” said Kalie’s mom as she felt Kalie’s forehead. “A flu what?” “A flu virus. It’s so small that you can’t even see it!” “But how could something so small make me sick?” “Well, good question. Once a virus gets into your body, it finds a cell (细胞). It forces (迫使) that cell to make more of the virus. As more and more of the virus is made, it spreads throughout your body.” “And that makes me ill?” “Kind of. The things you feel, like your fever, your runny nose…that’s your body fighting off the virus!” “You need to drink more water when you have the flu.” Kalie drank some of her hot tea. “So, there’s a fight going on inside me?” “Yes,” said her mom. “And you’re doing two of the best things you can do. Drink clear water and rest!” “I texted Sonja. She says that some other kids in our class got the flu, too. But not her. She got a vaccine (疫苗). Is that true, Mom?” “Oh, yes. A vaccine gives you a tiny bit of the virus, not enough to make you sick, but just enough to allow your body to know the virus and learn how to protect itself.” “So if I got a vaccine, I wouldn’t get the flu?” “That’s right,” Kalie’s mom stopped.

Getting the Vaccine D For more than two months, the world has been very excited about a new AI model (模型) called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code (代码), and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of Open AI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips (芯片) for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money. DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global (全球的) math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version (版本) of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started to study it. A German scientist said experiments (实验) with R1 cost $10 instead of (而不是) $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous US. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” US tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving (证明) that smart ideas beat expensive tools. As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 32. How does the writer mainly develop (展开) the passage? A. By providing examples B. By listing numbers C. By following the order of time D. By comparing R1 with other AIs 33. What do the underlined words mean in paragraph 2? A. It becomes better through practice. B. It copies answers from other AIs. C. It needs programmers to fix mistakes. D. It only works with expensive tools. 34. Why does the engineer say, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use”? A. To explain why R1 is free. B. To compare R1 with Meta’s AI. C. To encourage students to study math. D. To show that expensive AI models have no value 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how computer chips work. B. To introduce a low-cost AI model from China. C. To encourage students to become programmers. D. To compare Chinese and American AI technologies. E ①Do you have trouble trying to create (创造) the next big idea? Why not try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander (漫游)? Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming. ②Daydreams allow (允许) your mind to run freely and even increase productivity (生产力) in some situations. Daydreaming develops creativity which is why you have an ah-ha moment. Daydreaming allows you to come up with thoughts and ideas you did not realize you even had. ③Researchers(研究者) from the University of California found relation (关系) between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes (包括) making participants (参与者) first do an “unusual-use task”. It makes them try to think of as many different ways to use an object (物体) as they could. ④Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: finish a difficult task, finish an easy task, take a 12-minute break, or skip (跳过) a 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again. ⑤Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that finished the easy task (任务). Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock (解锁) their creativity. ⑥But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is your “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way. ⑦When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control (控制), it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas. Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander. 36. What is the main idea of the passage about daydreaming? A. Daydreaming is a waste of time. B. Daydreaming can help with creative problem - solving. C. People should always daydream. D. Daydreaming is harmful to our minds 37. According to the passage, the “unusual-use task” makes participants ________. A. find different uses for an object B. finish a very hard task C. do a very simple task D. have a rest every 12 minutes 38. The underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in paragraph 6 means “________” in the passage. A. stop dealing with information from the outside world B. think about a problem without even knowing it C. know clearly what you're thinking and doing D. think in a subtle way under your own control 39.
