Instead E. behaviors Everyone has periods in their lives when everything seems very hard, when there’s ____16____ to talk to and the mood is just getting worse and worse. But why just sit and think how unlucky you are? Try doing something that may help you lift up your mood (心情). ____17____ it doesn’t help you too much, at least while doing these things you won’t have time to think of your problems. You win anyway! To start with, you can spend time with people and think about good things. It’s very hard, because usually when we feel sad we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad ____18____ we have. But if you’ll try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee, the chances for changing your mood into better are very good. Just try to avoid bad thoughts. ____19____, try to think only about the bright side of your life. Don’t forget: We are what we think we are. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. E 19. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要给出了人们在情绪低落时，可以通过与人交往、避免消极思维、多想想生活中积极的一面等方法来改善心情的建议。 【16题详解】 句意：没有人可以交谈，情绪也越来越糟。此处需要一个不定代词，在句中作主语。根据“when everything seems very hard”（当一切似乎都很艰难）和“the mood is just getting worse and worse”（情绪越来越糟）的消极语境，可知此处表示“无人可谈”，故填nobody。 【17题详解】 句意：即使它对您没有太大帮助，至少在做这些事情时，您不会有时间去想自己的问题。此处需要一个连词，引导让步状语从句。从句“it doesn’t help you too much”与主句“you won’t have time to think of your problems”之间存在让步关系，意为“即使……也……”，故填Even if。 【18题详解】 句意：因为我们感到悲伤时，通常会把自己关在家里，试图去想我们所有的不良行为。此处需要一个名词，作“think about”的宾语。根据“all the bad”（所有不良的）可知，其后需接一个可被“bad”修饰的复数名词，指代具体事物。behaviors（行为）符合语境，与“feel sad”（感到悲伤）的原因相呼应。 【19题详解】 句意：相反，试着只考虑你生活中光明的一面。此处需要一个副词，在句中作状语，表示与前句“avoid bad thoughts”（避免坏想法）的转折或替代关系。Instead（相反，取而代之）用于引出另一种做法，符合“避免坏想法”后转向“只想光明面”的逻辑。 (B) A. succeeding B. expensive C. mentioning D. useful E. serious You should also try doing something only for yourself. This could be something you wanted for a long time: maybe a short trip, a coat, a ring or anything that could lift up your mood. This doesn’t have to be ____20____ or costly. The point of all this is being good to yourself. Meeting a positive (积极的) person should be very ____21____. Just try to keep your problems off the conversation. The idea here is to get out of your shell and talk to people. Get involved with someone else and your mind will take a turn as well. If you have too much time—volunteer it. We usually think that the problems we have are huge, although if you try to go to hospital, you’ll see that there are a lot of people who have more ____22____ problems. Moreover, you’ll see that people are still working, smiling, and laughing. This kind of work will help you understand that your problems are not worth ____23____. All you have to do is to take control of your emotions and make them positive in spite of letting them control you. Making yourself feel better isn’t that hard. It’s hard only to start doing something that would lift up your mood. 【答案】20. B 21. D 22. E 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了如何通过关注自己、接触积极的人和参与志愿活动来调节情绪、提升心情。 【20题详解】 句意：这不一定是昂贵或花费巨大的。“doesn‘t have to be ____ or costly”表示“不一定昂贵或花费巨大”，or连接并列形容词，costly意为“昂贵的”，需选与costly意思相近的词。选项B“expensive”意为“昂贵的”，符合语境。 【21题详解】 句意：遇到一个积极的人应该是非常有用的。“be very ____”表示“非常有用的”，需选形容词作表语。选项D“useful”意为“有用的”，符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：我们通常觉得自己的烦恼很大，然而如果你试着去医院看一看，就会看到很多人有更严重的问题。“have more ____ problems”表示“有更严重的问题”，需选形容词修饰名词problems。选项E“serious”为形容词，意为“严重的”，与more构成比较级，符合语境。 【23题详解】 句意：这种志愿工作会帮你明白，自己的烦恼不值得一提。“not worth ____”中，worth后需接动名词形式，be worth doing“值得做”，选项C“mentioning”为动名词形式，表示“提及”，符合语境。 Ⅳ.

We use it in lots of important events. (important) 【答案】importance 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国红对我们非常重要。我们在许多重要活动中使用它。根据“of great”提示，of + 名词 = 形容词，需填名词形式。important的名词形式是importance，of great importance“非常重要”。 27.

Choose the best answer and complete the passage（选择最恰当的选项完成短文）（共12分） Have you ever heard of a hospital that also serves as a popular drink spot? In Shanghai, there is a special shop called Xiaonan Yishantang inside Fengxian District Central Hospital. It doesn’t sell ____45____ — it sells healthy sweet soups! Last week, a customer drove an hour and a half just to try their soups. The shop has many such fans. “It’s easy to become an online fashion, but staying popular is more ____46____,” they say. They want the shop to be a window for healthy living, not just a place to buy drinks. To keep every bowl the same and healthy, the shop is building a standard-making process. They also plan to ____47____ new products based on seasons and health data. A hospital shop ____48____ wins trust because people connect it with health. This is something many street drink brands might miss. This “sweet soup fashion” actually shows a change in how people see health. Hospitals are no longer just places to treat illness; they are becoming spaces for ____49____. ____50____, there is still a puzzle to solve. How can they meet everyone’s different health needs while keeping a standard tasty flavor? The real innovation is to make the wisdom of traditional health culture a natural part of modern daily life. 45. A. food B. medicine C. clothes D. furniture 46. A. common B. interesting C. difficult D. comfortable 47. A. create B. control C. communicate D. compare 48. A. exactly B. properly C. rarely D. naturally 49. A. illness B. wellness C. kindness D. weakness 50. A. For example B. What’s more C. Therefore D. However 【答案】45. B 46. C 47. A 48. D 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了上海奉贤区中心医院内一家名为“小南一善堂”的特殊店铺，它售卖健康甜汤而非药品等，深受顾客喜爱，并探讨了其保持品质的计划、获得信任的原因以及反映出的健康观念变化。 【45题详解】 句意：它不卖药品，而是卖健康的甜汤！ 根据第一段“It doesn’t sell... it sells healthy sweet soups!”可知，这家店铺售卖的是甜汤，而非传统医院商店的商品。medicine（药品）与后文“healthy sweet soups”形成对比，符合“医院内店铺”的语境。 【46题详解】 句意：“在网上走红很容易，但要保持流行却更难，”他们说。 根据第二段“It’s easy to become an online fashion, but staying popular is more...”可知，前后句为转折对比关系，前半句说“容易”，后半句应强调“困难”。difficult（困难的）符合此逻辑。 【47题详解】 句意：他们还计划根据季节和健康数据创造新产品。 根据第三段“They also plan to... new products based on seasons and health data”可知，“根据季节和健康数据”去做的事情是针对新产品的，应为“创造”或“开发”。create（创造）符合此语境。 【48题详解】 句意：医院的店铺自然赢得信任，因为人们将其与健康联系在一起。 根据第四段“A hospital shop... wins trust because people connect it with health”可知，这种信任的产生是由于人们固有的联想，是一个自然而然的过程。naturally（自然地）准确地描述了这种因果关系。 【49题详解】 句意：医院不再仅仅是治病的地方；它们正在成为促进健康的场所。 根据第五段“Hospitals are no longer just places to treat illness; they are becoming spaces for...”可知，分号前后为对比，前半句讲“治病”，后半句应讲积极的、与健康相关的功能。wellness（健康）与“treat illness”相对应，符合语境。 【50题详解】 句意：然而，仍有一个难题需要解决。 根据第六段“... there is still a puzzle to solve”可知，前文讲这个模式的优势，后文说还有问题需要解决，是转折关系，因此选表转折的However。 C. Fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（共14分） Let’s go shelling I love walking on white sand beaches. As I walk, I search for seashells. Whether you are a small child looking for treasures or a grandparent enjoying a peaceful walk, the beach welcomes a____51____ at any age. Besides being interesting, shells provide housing and protection for sea animals. That brings us to the first r____52____ of searching for seashells: Never keep a shell that still has a living creature inside. As you hunt for shells, different in sizes, shapes and colors, always take a small bucket or cloth bag to carry your v____53____ discoveries in, too. Where should you search? Seashells turn up on beaches all over the globe. Carefully search through the brown seagrass that the waves deposited. You never know what might be h____54____ there. Knowing where to look is important, but knowing w____55____ to look is half the battle. Search from 1.5 hours before low tide to 1.5 hours after low tide. Surprisingly, the very best time to find seashells is after a typhoon. Storms often blow in a large number of shells. If you would rather not d____56____ the shells you find, take pictures. This allows you to still appreciate their beauty and build a great photo collection. After collection, it’s also necessary to clean the shells.

Finally rub a small bit of mineral oil over the shell to make it shine. On your next beach trip, why not spend some time searching for treasures from the sea? Word box [1] creature n.生物 [2] deposit v. 使……沉积 [3] scrub v. 刷 [4] mineral n. 矿物 【答案】51. anyone/nyone 52. rule##ule 53. valuable/aluable 54. hidden##idden 55. when##hen 56. display/isplay 57. completely##ompletely 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在海滩捡贝壳的乐趣、规则、工具、搜索地点和时间、处理方法以及清洁保养建议。 【51题详解】 句意：无论您是寻找宝物的小孩还是享受宁静散步的祖父母，海滩欢迎任何年龄的人。此处需要一个不定代词，在句中作宾语。上文“Whether you are a small child... or a grandparent...”列举了不同年龄段的人，且下文有“at any age”（任何年龄），提示此处语义与“任何人”相关。结合首字母提示“a”，故填anyone。 【52题详解】 句意：这引出了我们捡贝壳的第一条规则：永远不要保留里面还有活物的贝壳。此处需要一个名词，在句中作宾语。上文提到“贝壳为海洋动物提供住所和保护”，因此引出“不要拿走活贝壳”这一规定，提示语义与“规定、规则”相关。结合首字母“r”，故填rule。 【53题详解】 句意：总是带一个小桶或布袋来装你珍贵的发现。此处需要一个形容词，在句中作定语修饰“discoveries”。根据“search for seashells”（寻找贝壳）的语境，发现的贝壳被视为“珍宝”，提示语义与“有价值的”相关。结合首字母“v”，故填valuable。 【54题详解】 句意：你永远不知道那里可能藏着什么。此处需要一个形容词或过去分词，在句中作表语。根据“search through the brown seagrass”（仔细搜寻褐色的海草）的语境，贝壳可能被海草遮盖，提示语义与“藏匿”相关。结合首字母“h”，故填hidden。 【55题详解】 句意：知道去哪里找很重要，但知道什么时候去找是成功的一半。此处需要一个疑问副词，与“to look”构成不定式短语，在句中作宾语。下文“Search from 1.5 hours before low tide...”具体说明了寻找的时间，提示此处询问时间。结合首字母“w”，故填when。 【56题详解】 句意：如果你宁愿不陈列你找到的贝壳，那就拍照吧。此处需要一个动词原形，在句中作谓语。根据后文“take pictures”（拍照）这一替代方案，提示前文动作是“不陈列贝壳”。结合首字母“d”，故填display。 【57题详解】 句意：在它们完全干透之前，不要用牙刷擦洗残留的污垢。此处需要一个副词，在句中作状语修饰“dried”。根据清洁步骤“先浸泡直至气味污垢消失，再干燥，最后刷洗”的逻辑，干燥需彻底后才能刷洗。结合首字母“c”，故填completely。 D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）（共12分，78题1分，83题3分） A service of love Delia was a young pianist with a kind heart. Her husband Joe was a hardworking painter. They lived in a small apartment in New York. Both were taking expensive lessons — Delia with a famous German pianist, and Joe with a well-known art teacher. They didn’t have much money, but they believed that when you love art, no cost is too high. Soon, however, their savings ran out. One afternoon, Delia told Joe she had met a man whose daughter wanted piano lessons. She would earn $ 50 an hour teaching the girl. Joe wasn’t happy about it. “I’d rather you continued your lessons,” he said. But Delia insisted, “When I’ve made some money, I’ll start again.” Hearing this, Joe decided to stop his own lessons and try to sell his paintings instead. A few days later, Joe came home happily with $ 200. “A man from Vermont bought one of my paintings!” he told Delia. Delia became very pleased, and for a while, their money worries disappeared. They missed their lessons, but life seemed easier. Then one evening, Joe noticed a bandage on Delia’s hand. “What happened?” he asked. Delia explained, “My student Sally asked for coffee, and I accidentally spilled it. She bought this bandage for me.” Joe looked into her eyes and asked her to sit down. “Tell me the truth, Delia. What have you really been doing these two weeks?” Delia tried to stay calm, but then tears filled her eyes. “I couldn’t find any students, so I took a job as a waitress. Today, I burned my hand with hot water and lost my job. I’m sorry… But at least we still have the money from your buyer in Vermont, right?” Joe held her hand gently. “There is no man from Vermont,” he admitted. “I didn’t sell any paintings. I’ve been working at a drugstore. Today, someone came in to buy a bandage for a waitress who burned her hand. When I saw your bandage, I understood everything.” For a moment, they were silent. Then they both smiled. “So we both told lies,” Joe said softly. “But when you love your art…” Delia touched his lips. “No, Joe,” she whispered. “Just ‘when you love…’” 58. Delia and Joe spent much money on their lessons at first, didn’t they? ________________________________________________ 59. Why was Joe unhappy after he heard Delia would stop taking piano lessons? ________________________________________________ 60. How did Delia feel when Joe went home with $ 200? ________________________________________________ 61. Where did Joe actually work? ________________________________________________ 62. What did Joe understand when he saw Delia’s bandage? ________________________________________________ 63. Do you think Joe and Delia were wrong to tell each other lies? Why? ________________________________________________ 【答案】58. Yes, they did. 59. Because he didn’t want Delia to give up her piano lessons and her dream. 60. She felt very pleased and happy. 61. He worked at a drugstore. 62. He understood that Delia had been working as a waitress and burned her hand at work, just like he had been working at the drugstore and lying to her. 63. No, I don’t think they were wrong. They lied because they loved each other deeply and wanted to support each other’s dreams, even if it meant hiding the truth to protect each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了年轻钢琴家Delia和画家丈夫Joe在积蓄耗尽后，为了维持生活和让对方能继续追求艺术，各自隐瞒对方去从事辛苦的工作（Delia做服务员，Joe在药店打工），并编织善意的谎言，最终彼此坦诚，体现了爱的牺牲精神。 【58题详解】 第一段指出“Both were taking expensive lessons — Delia with a famous German pianist, and Joe with a well-known art teacher.”及“they believed that when you love art, no cost is too high.”，明确说明他们都在上昂贵的课程且认为为了艺术花费再多也值得，因此他们在课程上花了很多钱。 【59题详解】 根据第二段Joe的话“I’d rather you continued your lessons,”可知，他不开心是因为他更希望Delia能继续她的钢琴课程，而不是为了赚钱去教别人。 【60题详解】 第三段指出“Delia became very pleased, and for a while, their money worries disappeared.”，因此当Joe带着200美元回家时，Delia感到非常高兴/欣慰。 【61题详解】 第六段Joe承认“I’ve been working at a drugstore.”，所以他实际工作地点是药店。 【62题详解】 第六段描述Joe看到Delia的绷带后，联想到“Today, someone came in to buy a bandage for a waitress who burned her hand.”，并结合Delia之前的谎言和受伤的手，他推断出Delia并没有找到学生，而是在做服务员并烫伤了手。 【63题详解】 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。可从“善意谎言”的角度理解，他们的谎言源于对彼此的爱与牺牲，目的是减轻对方负担；亦可从“诚信”角度认为即使是善意的谎言也可能带来问题。 Ⅶ.

Try doing something that may help you lift up your mood (心情). ____17____ it doesn’t help you too much, at least while doing these things you won’t have time to think of your problems. You win anyway! To start with, you can spend time with people and think about good things. It’s very hard, because usually when we feel sad we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad ____18____ we have.

Moreover, you’ll see that people are still working, smiling, and laughing. This kind of work will help you understand that your problems are not worth ____23____. All you have to do is to take control of your emotions and make them positive in spite of letting them control you. Making yourself feel better isn’t that hard. It’s hard only to start doing something that would lift up your mood. Ⅳ. Complete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms（用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成下列句子。每空格限填一词）（共8分） 24.
