【详解】句意:今晚电视上将有一场足球比赛。我们一起看吧。
根据时间状语“this evening”可知,句子是一般将来时,一般将来时由“will/be going to+动词原形”构成,“There will be…”是There be句型的一般将来时结构。

【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:老师告诉我们开会不要迟到。

A. If B. So C. Because D. Although
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:尽管雨下得很大,她仍然没有带伞就去上学了。
If如果;So所以;Because因为;Although尽管。根据后半句“ she still went to school without an umbrella.”可知,前后句存在让步关系,虽然雨大但还是去上学了,Although符合语境,引导让步状语从句,应填Although。

A. until B. when C. after D. while
【答案】A
【解析】

Both两者都;Neither两者都不;Either两者之一;All三者或以上都。根据“I don’t like outdoor activities.”可知,答者明确表示不喜欢户外活动,因此是对前面提到的两项运动都不喜欢,表示两者都不,否定用neither。
11. —Why did you look so scared just now?
—A snake suddenly appeared in the grass, and I ran away ________.
A. in fear B. with excitement C. by accident D. on purpose
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你刚才为什么看起来那么害怕?——一条蛇突然出现在草丛中,我惊恐地跑开了。

【解析】
【详解】句意:——请你不要在这里吸烟好吗?——对不起,我不会了。我不知道这是不允许的。
情态动词“Could”引导的问句不用助动词do回答,排除选项C和D,根据问句“Could you please not smoke here?”可知,是请求对方不要吸烟,结合答语后句“I didn’t know it was not allowed.”可知,说话人意识到错误并表示歉意,承诺不再吸烟,“Sorry, I won’t”符合语境。

【21题详解】
句意:自然界充满了令人惊叹的奇观。
“be full of”固定搭配,意为“充满”,full符合语境;proud“骄傲的”,filled“装满的”,afraid“害怕的”,均不符合语境。
【22题详解】
句意:水声太大了,我听不见朋友说话。
根据“too…to…”固定结构,意为“太……而不能……”,too符合语境;very意为“非常”,such意为“如此”,so意为“如此”,均无法构成该结构。

根据“for + 时间段”的固定用法,表示动作持续的时间,for符合语境;in意为“在……里”,after 意为“在……之后”,within意为“在……之内”,均不符合语境。

根据前文“it’s a perfect place to relax and forget about busy city life”,可知瀑布的吸引力在于它的美,beauty符合语境;sight意为“景象”,view意为“风景”,scene意为 “场景”,均侧重具体景象,不如beauty贴合“欣赏”的语境。

too“太”;such“如此”,后接名词;very“非常”;so“如此”,后接形容词/副词。“so…that…”是固定句型,意为“如此……以至于……”,此处修饰形容词nervous,用so。
【28题详解】
句意:他们鼓励我不要害怕,做我自己。
“encourage sb. not to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为“鼓励某人不要做某事”,因此用not to be。
【29题详解】
句意:我们可能会遇到困难,但我们永远不应该放弃。

The rise of AI doctors is not like something from science fiction anymore. It’s really happening now. In different parts of China, AI doctors are bringing big changes to the medical field.
Last year, Beijing Children’s Hospital brought in the country’s first AI pediatrician (儿科医生). An 8-year-old boy had a sudden and serious illness. Thirteen top experts were trying hard to find the best treatment. At the same time, the AI doctor came up with a treatment plan and it was like the human doctors’ thoughts.
In Shandong, a couple was very distressed when their child had a high fever. They decided to try DeepSeek before going to the hospital. After putting in the description of the illness, the AI said it was probably a bacterial infection (细菌感染) and suggested some medicine. When they went to the hospital, the doctor gave exactly the same medicine.
Even in some villages of Jiangsu, AI doctors help patients know about their illnesses and make it easier for disabled people to move around in the hospital.
All these examples show us two important things AI doctors can do. They can help top doctors make better choices and they can also make healthcare easier for everyone in the country. However, AI doctors need to make more improvements. As one doctor said, “AI doctors can give us ideas, but we still need the care given by humans.”
41. How does the writer describe the AI doctor’s role in Paragraph 2?
A. By listing many numbers. B. By asking some questions.
C. By telling a real story. D. By teaching a lesson.
42. What does the underlined word “distressed” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Worried. B. Relaxed. C. Excited. D. Bored.
43. What can we learn about AI doctors from the passage?
A. AI doctors cannot offer help in the villages.
B. AI doctors are able to do everything for the patients.
C. AI doctors can help disabled people move around in the hospital.
D. AI doctors don’t need improvements any more.
44. Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2,…)
A. B. C. D.
45. What is the passage mainly about?
A. AI doctors are helping sick children in villages.
B. AI doctors are causing problems in the medical field.
C. AI doctors are taking the place of human doctors.
D. AI doctors are bringing changes to the medical field.
【答案】41. C 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了AI医生在中国医疗领域的应用现状,通过多个真实案例说明其在辅助诊疗、便利患者等方面的作用,同时也指出 AI 医生仍需改进,人类的关怀不可或缺。
【41题详解】
根据第2段“Last year, Beijing Children’s Hospital brought in the country’s first AI pediatrician (儿科医生). An 8-year-old boy had a sudden and serious illness... the AI doctor came up with a treatment plan...”,作者通过讲述北京儿童医院使用AI儿科医生救治一名8岁男孩的真实故事,说明AI医生的作用。
【42题详解】
根据第3段“when their child had a high fever. They decided to try DeepSeek before going to the hospital.”,孩子发高烧时父母的状态应该是担忧的“distressed”意为“担忧的、焦虑的”,与“Worried”意思一致。
【43题详解】
根据第4段“Even in some villages of Jiangsu, AI doctors help patients know about their illnesses and make it easier for disabled people to move around in the hospital.”,可知AI医生能帮助残疾人在医院里行动更方便。
【44题详解】
文章结构为:①段总起(AI医生正在给医疗领域带来巨大变化);②-④段分别列举北京、山东、江苏的三个例子;⑤段总结AI医生的作用与不足。对应结构选项B。
【45题详解】
全文围绕AI医生给医疗领域带来的变化展开,首段“In different parts of China, AI doctors are bringing big changes to the medical field.”点明主旨,故D选项符合题意。
C
When you first hear about the Dead Sea, it might sound scary, but the truth is quite different. Let’s get closer to the Dead Sea and learn more about it.
The Dead Sea is located in Southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on Earth’s land.
What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake. The salt concentration (盐浓度) in it is more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest lakes of water on earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of freshwater flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the freshwater to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you are to swim in the Dead Sea, you won’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name or the lack of sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
46. What do we know about the Dead Sea?
A. It is the largest place in Asia. B. It is the widest sea in the world.
C. It is the deepest point in America. D. It is the lowest lake on Earth’s land.
47. What makes the Dead Sea so salty?
A. A lot of seawater runs into it.
B. Human activities improve the salt levels.
C. Little rainfall and quick evaporation of freshwater.
D. The high temperature stops the water from freezing.
48. Why do people call it the Dead Sea?
A. Because they cannot swim in it. B. Because it has something dangerous.
C. Because it has a low salt concentration. D. Because no plants or animals can live in it.
49. What does the underlined word “float” probably mean?
A. Sing in the room. B. Stay above water. C. Fly in the sky. D. Walk on the road.
50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. If people can’t swim, they’ll still be safe in the Dead Sea.
B. The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can’t swim.
C. People feel scared when swimming in the Dead Sea.
D. A life buoy is necessary when swimming in the Dead Sea.

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了死海的地理位置、盐度成因、名称由来及特殊浮力特性。
【46题详解】
根据第二段“It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth’s land.”及第三段“the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake.”可知,死海是地球上陆地的最低点,且本质是湖泊。
【47题详解】
根据第四段“Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of freshwater flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the freshwater to evaporate quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher.”可知,少降雨和淡水快速蒸发导致死海盐度高。
【48题详解】
根据第五段“If you are to swim in the Dead Sea, you won’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.”可知,因没有动植物能生存,故得名死海。
【49题详解】
根据最后一段“the high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys. In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.”可知,人们能在水面上不沉下去,因此“float”意为“漂浮,停留在水面上”。
【50题详解】
根据最后一段“Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys.”可知,不会游泳的人在死海里也不会溺水,是安全的。

When you finally finish your work and get to relax, what do you do? Do you lie on your bed and play with your phone? Many people find that this doesn’t make them happy. Instead, they feel bored when they are on their phones.
Different from what many people may think, play isn’t just a waste of time. Having the ability to play and relax during your leisure (休闲) time is important. “Leisure doesn’t improve the quality of life if you don’t know how to make good use of it.” James Wallman, the writer of Time and How to Spend It, explains that some experiences are “junk experiences” while others are like “superfoods”. He also points out that “superfood” activities help you live in the moment and achieve a higher “leisure quotient (LQ,玩商)”.
LQ is an index (指数) to describe one’s ability to relax and play. A high LQ usually means that a person can control life well, and knows how to keep a relaxing lifestyle that makes him healthier and happier, according to China Daily.
Study shows that people with high LQ scores feel happier and generally avoid being down and other mental illnesses. At the same time, another famous scientist also points out that those who can play well will succeed.
Instead of watching short videos, people with high LQ scores choose activities that suit their interests, giving them continuous positive reflections. According to Wallman, examples of this positive reflections include: a story you can share with others, a new skill, improved relationships and so on.
51. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Leisure. B. Life. C. The phone. D. The book.
52. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. When is the best time to play?
B. How can we live in the moment meaningfully?
C. What are “superfood” activities?
D. Why should we use leisure time properly?
53. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? (SH=sense of happiness)
A. B. C. D.
54. According to the passage, who probably has the lowest LQ score?
A. Susan who is learning how to cook.
B. Alan who plays football after school.
C. Tony who keeps everything to himself.
D. Tom who often shares his trip experiences.
55. What will the writer probably do next?
A. Encourage us to improve LQ. B. Share some people’s LQ scores.
C. Write about the writer’s interests. D. Tell us the importance of “superfoods”.
【答案】51. A 52. D 53. B 54. C 55. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了休闲商(LQ)的概念,说明合理利用休闲时间的重要性,以及高LQ对提升幸福感和生活质量的积极影响。
【51题详解】
原文第二段提到“Leisure doesn’t improve the quality of life if you don’t know how to make good use of it.”,结合上下文,“it”指代前文的“Leisure”。
【52题详解】
原文第二段“Different from what many people think, play isn’t just a waste of time. Having the ability to play and relax during your leisure time is important.”引出了合理利用休闲时间的话题,下文引用Wallman的观点说明如何正确对待休闲,因此本段主旨是“Why should we use leisure time properly?”。
【53题详解】
原文第四段提到“Study shows that people with high LQ scores feel happier and generally avoid being down and other mental illnesses.”,说明LQ分数越高,幸福感越强,对应图B(LQ与幸福感呈正相关)。
【54题详解】
原文最后一段提到“positive reflection include: a story you can share with others, a new skill, improved relationships and so on.”,而Tony“keeps everything to himself ”的行为与这些积极的休闲方式相反,因此他的LQ分数可能最低。
【55题详解】
全文介绍了LQ的概念和好处,接下来作者大概率会鼓励读者提高LQ,因此选A。

The rise of AI doctors is not like something from science fiction anymore. It’s really happening now. In different parts of China, AI doctors are bringing big changes to the medical field.
Last year, Beijing Children’s Hospital brought in the country’s first AI pediatrician (儿科医生). An 8-year-old boy had a sudden and serious illness. Thirteen top experts were trying hard to find the best treatment. At the same time, the AI doctor came up with a treatment plan and it was like the human doctors’ thoughts.
In Shandong, a couple was very distressed when their child had a high fever. They decided to try DeepSeek before going to the hospital. After putting in the description of the illness, the AI said it was probably a bacterial infection (细菌感染) and suggested some medicine.

When you first hear about the Dead Sea, it might sound scary, but the truth is quite different. Let’s get closer to the Dead Sea and learn more about it.
The Dead Sea is located in Southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on Earth’s land.
What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake. The salt concentration (盐浓度) in it is more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest lakes of water on earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of freshwater flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the freshwater to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you are to swim in the Dead Sea, you won’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name or the lack of sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
46. What do we know about the Dead Sea?
A. It is the largest place in Asia. B. It is the widest sea in the world.
C. It is the deepest point in America. D. It is the lowest lake on Earth’s land.
47. What makes the Dead Sea so salty?
A. A lot of seawater runs into it.
B. Human activities improve the salt levels.
C. Little rainfall and quick evaporation of freshwater.
D. The high temperature stops the water from freezing.
48. Why do people call it the Dead Sea?
A. Because they cannot swim in it. B. Because it has something dangerous.
C. Because it has a low salt concentration. D. Because no plants or animals can live in it.
49. What does the underlined word “float” probably mean?
A. Sing in the room. B. Stay above water. C. Fly in the sky. D. Walk on the road.
50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. If people can’t swim, they’ll still be safe in the Dead Sea.
B. The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can’t swim.
C. People feel scared when swimming in the Dead Sea.
D. A life buoy is necessary when swimming in the Dead Sea.

When you finally finish your work and get to relax, what do you do? Do you lie on your bed and play with your phone? Many people find that this doesn’t make them happy. Instead, they feel bored when they are on their phones.
Different from what many people may think, play isn’t just a waste of time. Having the ability to play and relax during your leisure (休闲) time is important. “Leisure doesn’t improve the quality of life if you don’t know how to make good use of it.” James Wallman, the writer of Time and How to Spend It, explains that some experiences are “junk experiences” while others are like “superfoods”. He also points out that “superfood” activities help you live in the moment and achieve a higher “leisure quotient (LQ,玩商)”.
LQ is an index (指数) to describe one’s ability to relax and play. A high LQ usually means that a person can control life well, and knows how to keep a relaxing lifestyle that makes him healthier and happier, according to China Daily.
Study shows that people with high LQ scores feel happier and generally avoid being down and other mental illnesses. At the same time, another famous scientist also points out that those who can play well will succeed.
Instead of watching short videos, people with high LQ scores choose activities that suit their interests, giving them continuous positive reflections. According to Wallman, examples of this positive reflections include: a story you can share with others, a new skill, improved relationships and so on.
51. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Leisure. B. Life. C. The phone. D. The book.
52. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. When is the best time to play?
B. How can we live in the moment meaningfully?
C. What are “superfood” activities?
D. Why should we use leisure time properly?
53. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? (SH=sense of happiness)
A. B. C. D.
54. According to the passage, who probably has the lowest LQ score?
A. Susan who is learning how to cook.
B. Alan who plays football after school.
C. Tony who keeps everything to himself.
D. Tom who often shares his trip experiences.
55. What will the writer probably do next?
A. Encourage us to improve LQ. B. Share some people’s LQ scores.
C. Write about the writer’s interests. D. Tell us the importance of “superfoods”.
