Passage A
Zhangjiajie is a beautiful and famous city in the northwest of Hunan Province, China. It is very popular with tourists from all over the world because of its fantastic natural beauty. Every year, thousands of people come to visit this amazing place.
Zhangjiajie is well-known for its tall and special sandstone mountains. They look very different from common mountains. Some are so high that they reach into the clouds. Many people say they are just like the “floating mountains” in the famous movie Avatar. Besides the great mountains, there are also thick green forests, clean and quiet rivers, and wonderful waterfalls. The air here is clean and fresh, and the views around are like colourful paintings.
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is the first national forest park in our country. It is big and beautiful. You can walk along the small roads, listen to the birds singing and enjoy the green trees. In 1991, China formally submitted an application (申请) to inscribe (列入) Wulingyuan Scenic Area as a World Natural Heritage. The year after that, the Wulingyuan Scenic Area became a World Natural Heritage. That makes it even more famous around the world.
Visitors can take photos, climb the mountains or take a cable car to see the sights from high up. Walking in Zhangjiajie makes people feel peaceful and delighted. It is a great place for people to get away from busy city life. If you love nature and beautiful views, Zhangjiajie is a wonderful place for you to visit.
1.Where is Zhangjiajie?
A.In the southern part of Hunan. B.In the northwest part of Hunan.
C.In the northeast part of Hunan. D.In the western part of Hunan.
2.What is Zhangjiajie famous for?
A.Delicious food. B.Old houses. C.Natural beauty. D.Busy shops.
3.When did Wulingyuan become a World Natural Heritage?
A.In 1990. B.In 1992. C.In 1991. D.In 1993.
4.What does the underlined sentence “Walking in Zhangjiajie makes people feel peaceful and delighted” mean?
A.People feel relaxed and glad. B.People feel easy and bored.
C.People feel afraid and sad. D.People feel calm and tired.
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A.It tells a story about a trip to Hunan. B.It introduces the beauty of Zhangjiajie.
C.It teaches people how to go to Zhangjiajie. D.It talks about the history of Hunan.
长难句解析
1.They look very different from common mountains.它们看起来与普通山脉截然不同。
分析:“look very different from” 译为“看起来与……截然不同”,“common mountains” 译为“普通山脉”,简洁明了。
2.原文:In 1991, China formally submitted an application to inscribe Wulingyuan Scenic Area as a World Natural Heritage.1991年,中国正式提交申请,将武陵源风景名胜区列入世界自然遗产。
分析:“to inscribe ... as a World Natural Heritage” 是翻译难点。“inscribe”原意为“铭刻、写入”,但在联合国教科文组织语境下,常译为“列入”。将目的状语“to...”拆分为独立短句“将……”,使中文句式更流畅,避免欧化长句。
3.Walking in Zhangjiajie makes people feel peaceful and delighted.在张家界漫步让人感到宁静而愉悦。
分析:“makes people feel” 译为“让人感到”,没有直译为“使人们感到”,因为“让”更简洁口语化,符合旅游文本轻松优美的语气。“peaceful and delighted” 译为“宁静而愉悦”。
【答案与解析】
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.B 4.A 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国湖南张家界的自然美景、景区地位与游览价值,展现了它作为旅游胜地的独特魅力。

4.根据其后文“It is a great place for people to get away from busy city life”可知,张家界是一个好地方,所以结合选项可猜测句子表达的含义应是“放松且开心的”,和选项A一致,其它三项都有令人不愉快的形容词,故排除。
5.全文围绕张家界的自然美景、景区地位与游览体验展开,由此可知本文是介绍张家界的美丽风光,对应选项B。

Passage B
Pingtan Island in Fujian Province is famous for its special natural wonder—Blue Tears.

Inside their bodies, an amazing change creates the lovely blue light.
From April to June, Noctiluca scintillans are the main reason for Blue Tears. Many of them come together and make blue light waves that keep going across the sea. From July to August, Cypridinas appear. They leave small blue dots (点) at the seaside, just like stars falling onto the seaside. If you want to explore the Blue Tears, Tan Nan Bay is the best choice. The Blue Tears there look really beautiful.
To see Blue Tears, you need three things: clear skies, south winds, and a water temperature (温度) around 20℃. The best time to see this amazing landscape is at high tide at night after 10 o’clock. Although Blue Tears aren’t dangerous to people, large groups of them might have a bad influence on other sea creatures.
Seeing Blue Tears is like going into a peaceful world. The blue light dances on the sea, and it makes people feel surprised. This wonderful gift from nature interests tourists from all over the world to Pingtan every year. They all really want to see this amazing landscape.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了福建平潭岛著名的自然奇观“蓝眼泪”,解释了它是由夜光藻和海荧等海洋生物产生的蓝光现象,说明了不同时间段“蓝眼泪”的主要成因、最佳观赏地点和条件,以及它对其他海洋生物可能产生的影响,展现了这一自然奇观的魅力。
1.词义猜测题。根据第一段“Blue Tears are the blue light waves produced by small sea creatures... They emit blue light when the waves rise and fall.”可知,“蓝眼泪”是海洋生物产生的蓝光,当波浪起伏时,这些生物会发出蓝光;据此可以推断,划线单词“emit”在这里表示“发出”。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段“From July to August, Cypridinas appear.”可知,海荧在7月至8月出现。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段“To see Blue Tears, you need three things: clear skies, south winds, and a water temperature around 20℃.”可知,要观赏“蓝色泪珠”景观,您需要具备三个条件:晴朗的天空、南风以及水温在20摄氏度左右。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据第三段“Although Blue Tears aren’t dangerous to people, large groups of them might have a bad influence on other sea creatures.”可知,大量的“蓝眼泪”可能对其他海洋生物有不良影响。故选C。
5.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Seeing Blue Tears is like going into a peaceful world... it makes people feel surprised.”可知,人们观赏“蓝眼泪”时会感到平静和惊喜。故选A。
译文
福建平潭岛以其独特的自然奇观——“蓝眼泪”而闻名。蓝眼泪是由夜光藻和海萤等小型海洋生物产生的蓝色光波。当海浪起伏时,它们会发出蓝光。在它们体内,一种奇妙的变化产生了可爱的蓝光。
4月至6月,夜光藻是蓝眼泪的主要成因。大量夜光藻聚集在一起,形成连绵不断的蓝色光波,在海上持续闪耀。7月至8月,海萤出现。它们在海边留下细小的蓝色光点,如同繁星坠落人间。如果你想探寻蓝眼泪,坛南湾是最佳选择。那里的蓝眼泪景色格外美丽。
要看到蓝眼泪,需要满足三个条件:晴朗的天空、南风以及约20℃的水温。观赏这一神奇景观的最佳时间是夜间10点后的涨潮时段。尽管蓝眼泪对人体无害,但大量聚集可能会对其他海洋生物产生不良影响。
观赏蓝眼泪,仿佛步入一个宁静的世界。蓝光在海面上舞动,令人心生惊叹。这份来自大自然的奇妙礼物,每年都吸引着世界各地的游客前往平潭。他们都满怀期待,渴望一睹这壮丽的景观。

Passage1
When we look at the Earth, we see many different things. Sometimes, you may hear people talk about landform and landscape. Are they the same thing? Let’s find out!
A landform is a natural feature of the Earth’s surface. Think of big mountains that rise high up, low valleys (山谷) between hills, flat plains that go on and on, and sandy deserts. These are all landforms. They are made by nature over a long, long time. For example, mountains are formed when huge pieces of the Earth’s surface push against (撞) each other. Valleys can be made by rivers cutting through the land little by little. Each landform has a name that tells us what it looks like and how it was formed. Scientists study landforms to learn about the history of the Earth.
A landscape, on the other hand, is what you see when you look at an area of land. It includes (包括) landforms, but it also has other things like plants, buildings, and lakes. Imagine standing on top of a hill. You can see green trees waving in the wind, a small village with houses, and a clear lake nearby. All these things together make up the landscape. A landscape can change rapidly. If people build new buildings or cut down a lot of trees, the landscape will look different in just a few months.
Let’s take a forest in the mountains as an example. The mountain is the landform — it’s a natural feature of the Earth. But when you see the tall trees, hear the birds singing, and watch a little stream (溪流) running down the mountain, that’s the landscape.
So, the key difference is this: landform is about the natural shapes of the Earth, and landscape is about the whole view of an area, including both natural and man-made things. Next time you go on a trip, try to enjoy different landforms and describe (描述) the beautiful landscapes around you!
1.Which of the following is a landform?
A.A newly-built bridge. B.A flat plain.
C.A group of trees. D.A small house.
2.What can we learn from the text about how mountains are formed?
A.They are made by people building up the land.
B.They are formed when rivers cut through the land.
C.They are formed when the Earth’s plates push into each other.
D.They are formed by heavy rain and strong winds.
3.What does the underlined word “rapidly” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Brightly. B.Quickly. C.Powerfully. D.Quietly.
4.What does “landscape” usually include?
A.Only landforms. B.Only natural things.
C.Just man-made things. D.Landforms, trees, houses and lakes.
5.How does the writer explain the difference between landform and landscape?
A.By telling stories. B.By listing numbers.
C.By giving examples. D.By asking questions.

二、完形填空
Desert Beauty
If you ask most people about the desert, they might describe (描述) sand and rocks. Arches National Park in Utah shows a different 1 . Visitors to Arches are amazed by the life and 2 in the desert. Wildflowers and cactuses add bright colors to the red rock. Blue jays and red-tailed hawks fly up high in the sky.
Of course, the park is most famous for its amazing 3 . More than 2,000 natural arches have been found in the park. Some of them stand alone against the cloudless sky; 4 stand out from the rocky hills. They were formed over the course (过程) of 100 million years, as wind and water 5 broke down the rock. Although the arches took millions of years to form, it takes only seconds to 6 an arch forever. In 1991, Landscape Arch, the park’s largest arch, lost a piece of rock 60 feet long. The arch still stands, 7 it is now much easier to break.
In the beauty of this desert park, roads and cars are the only interruption (干扰) to the 8 scene. But they make it easy for people to 9 nature’s great work while it is still there.
In 2025, the park started a new entry system (系统). It 10 visitors to buy tickets up to six months early. In this way, visitors can better enjoy the natural beauty in the park in an organized way.
1.A.experience B.character C.scene D.craft
2.A.noise B.smell C.spirit D.color
3.A.hills B.rocks C.sand D.landforms

Passage 1
Last summer, I went on a trip to the countryside with my family. It was a sunny day, and the sky was clear and blue. We drove for about two hours until we reached a small village surrounded by green hills. The air was fresh, and the scenery was breathtaking.
As we walked along a narrow path, we saw a river flowing gently through the valley. The water was so clear that we could see the fish swimming underneath. On both sides of the river, there were tall trees with leaves that shimmered in the sunlight. Birds were singing in the branches, and the sound of their songs made the place feel peaceful and alive.
Further up the path, we came across a field of wildflowers. The flowers were of all colors—red, yellow, purple, and blue. Butterflies were flying from one flower to another, and the whole field looked like a painting. My younger sister ran into the field and started picking flowers, while I sat on a rock nearby, enjoying the view.
In the distance, we could see a small waterfall. The water fell from a high cliff, creating a mist that sparkled in the sunlight. We decided to climb up to the waterfall, and when we reached the top, the view was even more amazing. From there, we could see the entire valley, with its green hills, the winding river, and the colorful field of flowers.
As the sun began to set, the sky turned orange and pink, and the whole landscape seemed to glow. We sat quietly, watching the beauty of nature unfold before our eyes. It was a day I will never forget.

My father told me, “The Great Wall is a symbol of Chinese 4 (history) culture. Many people from all over the world come to visit it every year. You should keep going.”
I took a short rest and then continued climbing. Along the way, we saw many ancient stones and towers with 5 carvings. I also took many 6 (photo) with my family. Finally, we reached the top of the wall. From there, we could see the beautiful scenery below. I felt very 7 (pride) of myself.
Visiting the Great Wall was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about Chinese history and culture. I hope 8 (visit) it again someday.
During the trip, I also made a new friend from America. He told me that he 9 (be) interested in Chinese culture for a long time. We talked a lot about the Great Wall and exchanged our 10 (email) addresses. Before leaving, he gave me a small gift, a keychain with the Statue of Liberty on it.

Passage A
Zhangjiajie is a beautiful and famous city in the northwest of Hunan Province, China. It is very popular with tourists from all over the world because of its fantastic natural beauty. Every year, thousands of people come to visit this amazing place.
Zhangjiajie is well-known for its tall and special sandstone mountains. They look very different from common mountains. Some are so high that they reach into the clouds. Many people say they are just like the “floating mountains” in the famous movie Avatar. Besides the great mountains, there are also thick green forests, clean and quiet rivers, and wonderful waterfalls. The air here is clean and fresh, and the views around are like colourful paintings.
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is the first national forest park in our country. It is big and beautiful. You can walk along the small roads, listen to the birds singing and enjoy the green trees. In 1991, China formally submitted an application (申请) to inscribe (列入) Wulingyuan Scenic Area as a World Natural Heritage. The year after that, the Wulingyuan Scenic Area became a World Natural Heritage. That makes it even more famous around the world.
Visitors can take photos, climb the mountains or take a cable car to see the sights from high up. Walking in Zhangjiajie makes people feel peaceful and delighted. It is a great place for people to get away from busy city life. If you love nature and beautiful views, Zhangjiajie is a wonderful place for you to visit.
1.Where is Zhangjiajie?
A.In the southern part of Hunan. B.In the northwest part of Hunan.
C.In the northeast part of Hunan. D.In the western part of Hunan.
2.What is Zhangjiajie famous for?

3.When did Wulingyuan become a World Natural Heritage?

4.What does the underlined sentence “Walking in Zhangjiajie makes people feel peaceful and delighted” mean?
A.People feel relaxed and glad. B.People feel easy and bored.
C.People feel afraid and sad. D.People feel calm and tired.
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A.It tells a story about a trip to Hunan. B.It introduces the beauty of Zhangjiajie.
C.It teaches people how to go to Zhangjiajie. D.It talks about the history of Hunan.
长难句解析
1.They look very different from common mountains.它们看起来与普通山脉截然不同。
分析:“look very different from” 译为“看起来与……截然不同”,“common mountains” 译为“普通山脉”,简洁明了。
2.原文:In 1991, China formally submitted an application to inscribe Wulingyuan Scenic Area as a World Natural Heritage.1991年,中国正式提交申请,将武陵源风景名胜区列入世界自然遗产。
分析:“to inscribe ... as a World Natural Heritage” 是翻译难点。“inscribe”原意为“铭刻、写入”,但在联合国教科文组织语境下,常译为“列入”。将目的状语“to...”拆分为独立短句“将……”,使中文句式更流畅,避免欧化长句。
3.Walking in Zhangjiajie makes people feel peaceful and delighted.在张家界漫步让人感到宁静而愉悦。
分析:“makes people feel” 译为“让人感到”,没有直译为“使人们感到”,因为“让”更简洁口语化,符合旅游文本轻松优美的语气。“peaceful and delighted” 译为“宁静而愉悦”。
【答案与解析】
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.B 4.A 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国湖南张家界的自然美景、景区地位与游览价值,展现了它作为旅游胜地的独特魅力。
1.文章第一句提到“Zhangjiajie is a beautiful and famous city in the northwest of Hunan Province, China.”,由此可直接得出答案,张家界在湖南省西北部。
2.文章第一段中提到“It is very popular with tourists from all over the world because of its fantastic natural beauty.”,由此可知张家界以自然美景闻名。
3.文章第三段中提到“In 1991, China formally submitted an application to inscribe Wulingyuan Scenic Area as a World Natural Heritage. The year after that, the Wulingyuan Scenic Area became a World Natural Heritage.”,1991年的次年是1992年,由此可得出答案B。
4.根据其后文“It is a great place for people to get away from busy city life”可知,张家界是一个好地方,所以结合选项可猜测句子表达的含义应是“放松且开心的”,和选项A一致,其它三项都有令人不愉快的形容词,故排除。
5.全文围绕张家界的自然美景、景区地位与游览体验展开,由此可知本文是介绍张家界的美丽风光,对应选项B。

张家界国家森林公园是我国第一个国家森林公园。它既广阔又美丽。你可以沿着小路漫步,聆听鸟鸣,欣赏翠绿的树木。1991年,中国正式提交申请,将武陵源风景名胜区列入世界自然遗产。次年,武陵源风景名胜区成为世界自然遗产。这使其在世界范围内更加闻名。
游客可以拍照、登山或乘坐缆车从高处欣赏风景。在张家界漫步让人感到宁静而愉悦。这里是人们远离繁忙城市生活的好去处。如果你热爱自然和美景,张家界将是你游览的绝佳之地。
Passage B
Pingtan Island in Fujian Province is famous for its special natural wonder—Blue Tears.

Inside their bodies, an amazing change creates the lovely blue light.
From April to June, Noctiluca scintillans are the main reason for Blue Tears. Many of them come together and make blue light waves that keep going across the sea. From July to August, Cypridinas appear. They leave small blue dots (点) at the seaside, just like stars falling onto the seaside. If you want to explore the Blue Tears, Tan Nan Bay is the best choice. The Blue Tears there look really beautiful.
To see Blue Tears, you need three things: clear skies, south winds, and a water temperature (温度) around 20℃. The best time to see this amazing landscape is at high tide at night after 10 o’clock. Although Blue Tears aren’t dangerous to people, large groups of them might have a bad influence on other sea creatures.
Seeing Blue Tears is like going into a peaceful world. The blue light dances on the sea, and it makes people feel surprised. This wonderful gift from nature interests tourists from all over the world to Pingtan every year. They all really want to see this amazing landscape.

福建平潭岛以其独特的自然奇观——“蓝眼泪”而闻名。蓝眼泪是由夜光藻和海萤等小型海洋生物产生的蓝色光波。当海浪起伏时,它们会发出蓝光。在它们体内,一种奇妙的变化产生了可爱的蓝光。
4月至6月,夜光藻是蓝眼泪的主要成因。大量夜光藻聚集在一起,形成连绵不断的蓝色光波,在海上持续闪耀。7月至8月,海萤出现。它们在海边留下细小的蓝色光点,如同繁星坠落人间。如果你想探寻蓝眼泪,坛南湾是最佳选择。那里的蓝眼泪景色格外美丽。
要看到蓝眼泪,需要满足三个条件:晴朗的天空、南风以及约20℃的水温。观赏这一神奇景观的最佳时间是夜间10点后的涨潮时段。尽管蓝眼泪对人体无害,但大量聚集可能会对其他海洋生物产生不良影响。

真题示例
Passage1
When we look at the Earth, we see many different things. Sometimes, you may hear people talk about landform and landscape. Are they the same thing? Let’s find out!
A landform is a natural feature of the Earth’s surface. Think of big mountains that rise high up, low valleys (山谷) between hills, flat plains that go on and on, and sandy deserts. These are all landforms. They are made by nature over a long, long time. For example, mountains are formed when huge pieces of the Earth’s surface push against (撞) each other. Valleys can be made by rivers cutting through the land little by little. Each landform has a name that tells us what it looks like and how it was formed. Scientists study landforms to learn about the history of the Earth.
A landscape, on the other hand, is what you see when you look at an area of land. It includes (包括) landforms, but it also has other things like plants, buildings, and lakes. Imagine standing on top of a hill. You can see green trees waving in the wind, a small village with houses, and a clear lake nearby. All these things together make up the landscape. A landscape can change rapidly. If people build new buildings or cut down a lot of trees, the landscape will look different in just a few months.
Let’s take a forest in the mountains as an example. The mountain is the landform — it’s a natural feature of the Earth. But when you see the tall trees, hear the birds singing, and watch a little stream (溪流) running down the mountain, that’s the landscape.
So, the key difference is this: landform is about the natural shapes of the Earth, and landscape is about the whole view of an area, including both natural and man-made things. Next time you go on a trip, try to enjoy different landforms and describe (描述) the beautiful landscapes around you!
1.Which of the following is a landform?
A.A newly-built bridge. B.A flat plain.
C.A group of trees. D.A small house.
2.What can we learn from the text about how mountains are formed?
A.They are made by people building up the land.
B.They are formed when rivers cut through the land.
C.They are formed when the Earth’s plates push into each other.
D.They are formed by heavy rain and strong winds.
3.What does the underlined word “rapidly” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Brightly. B.Quickly. C.Powerfully. D.Quietly.
4.What does “landscape” usually include?
A.Only landforms. B.Only natural things.
C.Just man-made things. D.Landforms, trees, houses and lakes.
5.How does the writer explain the difference between landform and landscape?
A.By telling stories. B.By listing numbers.
C.By giving examples. D.By asking questions.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了地形和景观的区别。
1.细节理解题。根据“Think of big mountains that rise high up, low valleys (山谷) between hills, flat plains that go on and on, and sandy deserts. These are all landforms.”可知,高耸的大山、小山之间的低山谷,连绵不断的平原,还有沙漠,这些都是地形。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据“mountains are formed when huge pieces of the Earth’s surface push against (撞) each other”可知,山是由地球表面的巨大板块相互推动而形成的。故选C。
3.词义猜测题。根据“If people build new buildings or cut down a lot of trees, the landscape will look different in just a few months.”可知,如果人们建造新的建筑物或砍伐大量的树木,景观将在短短几个月内看起来不同。因此景观的变化很快,rapidly和quickly都表示“快的,迅速的”。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据“It includes (包括) landforms, but it also has other things like plants, buildings, and lakes.”可知,景观包括地形,但也有其他东西,如植物、建筑物和湖泊。故选D。
5.推理判断题。通读全文,结合文中关键词句“For example”“Let’s take a forest in the mountains as an example.”等可知,作者通过列举很多的事物来解释什么是地形和景观。故选C。

Passage 1
Last summer, I went on a trip to the countryside with my family. It was a sunny day, and the sky was clear and blue. We drove for about two hours until we reached a small village surrounded by green hills. The air was fresh, and the scenery was breathtaking.
As we walked along a narrow path, we saw a river flowing gently through the valley. The water was so clear that we could see the fish swimming underneath. On both sides of the river, there were tall trees with leaves that shimmered in the sunlight. Birds were singing in the branches, and the sound of their songs made the place feel peaceful and alive.
Further up the path, we came across a field of wildflowers. The flowers were of all colors—red, yellow, purple, and blue. Butterflies were flying from one flower to another, and the whole field looked like a painting. My younger sister ran into the field and started picking flowers, while I sat on a rock nearby, enjoying the view.
In the distance, we could see a small waterfall. The water fell from a high cliff, creating a mist that sparkled in the sunlight. We decided to climb up to the waterfall, and when we reached the top, the view was even more amazing. From there, we could see the entire valley, with its green hills, the winding river, and the colorful field of flowers.
As the sun began to set, the sky turned orange and pink, and the whole landscape seemed to glow. We sat quietly, watching the beauty of nature unfold before our eyes. It was a day I will never forget.
