He and Tom were in the school’s basketball team. “Why the ____1____ face? Are you still feeling blue about Saturday night’s game?” Tom asked. “Of course I am,” Matt said ____2____. He didn’t dare (敢) to look at Tom as he spoke. “I’m really sorry about letting everybody down. The other team got those ____3____ because of me.” “Don’t be too hard on yourself!” Tom said. “____4____ you pushed their player, it was just an accident. Everyone knows that!” Tom was a good friend. But Matt knew the referee (裁判) didn’t share Tom’s opinion. When the referee saw Matt push another player, he gave the other team two free throws. Matt was as ____5____ as anyone else when the accident happened, but it was too late. He couldn’t take it back. “I guess we have to ____6____ his decision,” Matt said after a while. “But we had a good chance to win until I made that mistake. Why wasn’t I more ____7____?” “Listen, Matt,” said Tom, “try to look on the bright side. The other team is the best in our area, but our scores were really close. I’m proud of us, and I know our coach and ____8____ else in our school are as well.” Matt felt a bit better. “Thanks, Tom. I guess it’s just hard to lose.” “Hey, you can’t win them all,” said Tom. “It’s more important to learn from your ____9____ so that you don’t repeat them in future. We’ll keep working together as a team. One for all, and all for one, right?” “You’re right. If we ____10____ together, we should win next time,” Matt smiled. He was lucky to have a friend like Tom! 1. A. short B. long C. angry D. happy 2. A. softly B. carefully C. cheerfully D. noisily 3. A. points B. skills C. records D. clicks 4. A. Until B. Since C. Although D. Whether 5. A. surprised B. excited C. tired D. nervous 6. A. accept B. close C. refuse D. doubt 7. A. hard-working B. careful C. modest D. honest 8. A. everybody B. nobody C. somebody D. anybody 9. A. failures B. mistakes C. memories D. experiences 10. A. pull B. push C. grow D. connect 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. A 4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 8. A 9. B 10. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了篮球比赛中Matt因意外推人导致对方罚球得分，球队失利，他陷入深深自责，好友Tom不断安慰并鼓励他从错误中吸取教训、和队友团结努力的故事。 【1题详解】 句意：“为什么愁眉苦脸的？你还在为周六晚上的比赛难过吗？”Tom说。 后文“Are you still feeling blue”表明Matt心情沮丧，long face为固定搭配，意为“愁眉苦脸”，应用long。short无法与face搭配，angry“生气的”、happy“开心的”均与Matt低落的情绪语境不符。 【2题详解】 句意：“我当然是了，”Matt轻声说道。他说话时不敢看Tom。 结合前文讲“Matt为周六晚上的比赛而心情低落”以及后文“He didn’t dare (敢) to look at Tom as he spoke.”，Matt说话的状态应是低落、轻柔的，应用softly。carefully“小心地”侧重做事谨慎，cheerfully“开心地”与愧疚的情绪完全相反，noisily“吵闹地”与说话时的“低落与歉意”冲突。 【3题详解】 句意：“我对让大家失望感到非常抱歉。对方球队得到那些分数，都是因为我。” 结合前文篮球比赛的语境以及后文“When the referee saw Matt push another player, he gave the other team two free throws.”，Matt推人导致对方获得罚球机会，从而得到分数，points“分数”符合比赛场景；skills“技能”、records“记录”、clicks“点击”均与比赛得分的语境无关。 【4题详解】 句意：“虽然你推了他们的球员，那只是个意外。大家都知道的！” 结合“you pushed their player, it was just an accident.”，前后句为让步关系，空处引导让步状语从句，Although“虽然”符合“推人了但只是意外”的逻辑。Until“直到”表时间，Since“自从，因为”表时间或原因，Whether“是否”表疑问，均不符合语境。 【5题详解】 句意：事故发生时，Matt和其他人一样惊讶，但已经太晚了。他无法收回自己的行为。 结合前文“it was just an accident”，Matt推人是意外，并非故意，事故发生时，他和在场的其他人一样感到意外，surprised“惊讶的”，符合语境；excited“兴奋的”、tired“疲惫的”、nervous“紧张的”均无法体现“意外发生时的错愕感”。 【6题详解】 句意：“我想我们不得不接受他的判罚，”过了一会儿Matt说道。 结合“he gave the other team two free throws”“He couldn’t take it back”与常识，裁判已经做出判罚，结果无法改变，只能接受，accept“接受”符合语境，close“关闭”侧重态度认同，refuse“拒绝”、doubt“怀疑”，均与“判罚无法更改”的语境矛盾。 【7题详解】 句意：“但在我犯那个错误之前，我们本有很大机会赢的。我为什么不能更小心一点呢？” 结合“we had a good chance to win until I made that mistake”说明Matt的犯规导致球队很可惜地丢掉胜利，因此Matt后悔自己犯错，希望自己当时更小心。careful“小心的”符合语境；hard-working“努力的”、modest“谦虚的”、honest“诚实的”均与语境不符。 【8题详解】 句意：我为我们骄傲，而且我知道我们的教练和学校里的其他人也一样为我们骄傲。 结合上下文“Tom安慰Matt”的语境可知，此处应表达学校的“其他所有人为我们骄傲”，everybody“所有人”符合语境；nobody“没人”、somebody“某人”、anybody“任何人，多用于否定，疑问句”均不符合此处肯定句的语境与表达。 【9题详解】 句意：从你的错误中学习更为重要，这样你将来就不会再犯同样的错误。 结合前文Matt犯了错，Tom建议从错误中吸取教训。mistakes“错误”与前文Matt提到的“mistake”呼应，符合“避免重复犯”的语境；failures“失败”侧重最终结果，memories“回忆”、experiences“经历”均无法体现“可避免的失误”这一含义。 【10题详解】 句意：“如果我们齐心协力，下次应该能赢。”Matt笑了。 结合“we should win next time”，此处应表示“齐心协力”，pull together意为“齐心协力、团结协作”，精准对应球队共同努力的语境；push“推”、grow“成长”、connect“连接”均无此搭配，不符合文意。 三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。（本大题共15小题，每小题 2分，共30分） A 11.

In a science report. C. In a word book. D. In a website blog. 【答案】11. D 12. C 13. C 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文材料是词典词条，属于工具书类说明文体，给出四个词的发音、词性、释义及例句。 【11题详解】 单词“adventure”的释义部分。“an unusual, exciting, and possibly dangerous activity, such as a trip or experience”（不寻常、刺激且可能危险的活动，如旅行或经历），D选项“独自在野外山区远足”符合“危险、刺激、不寻常”的定义，A、B、C均为日常安全活动。 【12题详解】 单词“insert”的词条内容。动词义项1“to put something inside”，动词义项2“to add writing to a text, form, etc.”，以及名词义项“something that is made to go inside or into something else”，“insert”有动词两个不同义项加一个名词义项，共三个含义。 【13题详解】 “insert”词条的动词义项2“to add writing to a text, form, etc.”。 【14题详解】 “heal”词条的释义及例句“to make…other injury”（使痊愈，尤指伤口或损伤后）及例句“Brain injuries…to heal.”（脑损伤需要很长时间愈合），C选项“a broken arm to heal”（断臂愈合）符合heal的不及物动词用法。A错在错误搭配；B错在宾语“adventure”；D错在宾语“clinic”。 【15题详解】 这种以单词为核心、提供音标和用法的编排方式，最常出现在单词书“word book”中，而非故事书、科学报告或一般博客。 B Tiny Treasures: How Chinese Fridge Magnets (冰箱贴) Sha re History In recent years, China’s cultural and creative fridge magnets have changed from simple souvenirs (纪念品) to special carriers of local culture.

The White Jade (玉) Pig-Dragon is an early form of the Chinese dragon. It is 15 cm tall,10.2cm wide, and 3.8 cm thick. It mixes the looks of this and bears.

Among all the passengers, no one would fail to notice Padishah, an Indian businessman. From the moment he got on the ship, he kept showing off the diamond (钻石) on his turban. The big diamond successfully attracted attention, including that of the five ostriches on the deck. One morning, as Padishah passed by the ostriches, one swallowed his diamond suddenly. The bird ran around and mixed itself with the others in no time. “Whose are these stupid ostriches? I want my diamond back!” Padishah shouted angrily. People began to crowd on the deck. I was among the first to arrive. I didn’t feel half sorry for the man as he was asking everyone what to do for the diamond’s return. Word swept across the ship about the accident, reaching a man named Potter. After lunch in the hall, Potter went to Padishah and claimed, “I’ve got in touch with the ostriches’ owner in London. He accepted my offer for all five and now I am the owner. I have the right to keep the birds and the diamond inside.” I thought Potter was rather smart and regretted deeply at a lost chance. Padishah was so upset (沮丧的) and said, “There’s no way you can get my diamond,’ he continued as he got calmer. “I can offer you 100 pounds for the birds.” Potter simply refused and left. After a while, Potter came back to the hall with a sly smile. He announced that he wanted to sell four birds separately to separate people by auction (拍卖). The starting price was 80 for a bird. One of them, he would keep for himself. Before the crowd realized what was happening, a diamond businessman got one bird for 100 pounds. The prices for the following birds rose higher and higher. After the fourth being sold, Padishah got half mad, not knowing what to do. Potter seemed suddenly sorry and said, “I should have kept them all. But... Trust me! The last bird must be the one.” I stared at the last bird for quite a while and asked Potter for a private conversation. After a long talk, I finally got the bird for 700 pounds. ________ The next morning, I was waiting in line to get off the ship, picturing the amazing future life in mind. Then, I saw Padishah and Potter walk arm in arm on the shore, just like old friends. 21. What does the underlined word “swallowed” mean in paragraph 2? A. Broke. B. Ate. C. Took. D. Hid. 22. Which of the following can be put into “________” in Paragraph 8? A. How upset Padishah was! B. What good luck it had! C. How nervous Padishah was! D. What a great deal it was! 23. How did the writer probably feel in the end? A. Excited. B. Sorry. C. Lucky. D. Nervous. 24. What can be inferred from the passage? A. In fact Padishah’s diamond was not valuable at all. B. The writer would become rich with the diamond soon. C. Padishah was really angry with Potter in the beginning. D. Potter and Padishah had planned the whole thing together. 25. What is the best title for this story? A. A Diamond Trick B. A Lost Diamond C. The Diamond in the Ostrich D. A Successful Deal on the ship 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. B 24. D 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了1905年在一艘从印度开往伦敦的英国船只上，一位印度商人Padishah的钻石被鸵鸟吞下后，乘客Potter买下所有鸵鸟并拍卖，最后“我”高价买下最后一只鸵鸟，却发现自己被骗的故事。 【21题详解】 由第二段“one swallowed his diamond suddenly. The bird ran around”可知，鸵鸟将钻石吞进了肚子里，因此“swallowed”意为“吞下/吃掉”。 【22题详解】 由前文“我”花了700英镑买下最后一只鸵鸟，并“picturing the amazing future life in mind”（想象着未来美好的生活），认为自己得到了钻石，而最后一段却发现Padishah和Potter像老朋友一样并肩而行，暗示“我”被骗了。因此这里应填入“What a great deal it was!”（这真是一笔好买卖！），与“我”当时的得意心情相符。 【23题详解】 由最后一段“I saw Padishah and Potter walk arm in arm on the shore, just like old friends”可知，作者意识到Padishah和Potter是合伙骗人的，自己被骗走了700英镑，因此心情应该是“沮丧/后悔”。 【24题详解】 由最后一段Padishah和Potter像老朋友一样并肩而行可知，他们从一开始就是合伙设计骗局。 【25题详解】 全文围绕“钻石”和“骗局”展开，Potter和Padishah合谋利用鸵鸟吞钻石的假象骗取他人钱财，因此最佳标题为“A Diamond Trick”（钻石骗局）。 四、信息还原 阅读下面的短文，从所给选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Reaching New Heights To most people, Mount Qomolangma is one of the greatest wonders of the world. On the highest place on earth, you will feel like you are able to touch the sky. But only the best climbers reach the top, and that is only if they survive the terrible conditions first. On the mountain, temperatures can fall to -30 degrees. ____26____ Before 1960, no one was able to reach the top of Qomolangma from the northern side. ____27____ but a Chinese climbing team decided to make the climb. On 24 May 1960, climbers Liu Lianman, Wang Fuzhou, Qu Yinhua, and Gongbu arrived at the Second Step. It was 8,600 metres above sea level. ____28____ Liu allowed his teammates to step on his shoulders. Bit by bit, the climbers pulled themselves up, and they made it past the Second Step. At 4:20 a. m. on 25 May, the Chinese national flag flew above the world’s highest mountain for the first time. In 1975, another Chinese team climbed to the top of Qomolangma to do research. ____29____ Until 2007, almost all climbers from the northern side used this “Chinese Ladder (梯子)” to reach the top much faster. In 2020, a Chinese research team went to Qomolangma to measure its height—8,848.86 metres. ____30____ Some climbers reach the top successfully, but many fail. Why do people still risk their lives to climb the highest mountain in the world? It is because human curiosity and ambition cannot be stopped. Or, as the English pioneer George Mallory put it, it is simply “because it’s there”! A. Climbing Qomolangma is dangerous. B. This time, they brought a ladder to the Second Step. C. Many climbers try their best to reach the top every year. D. Mountain climbers even called that way the “Death Road”, E. The weather on Qomolangma is always sunny and warm. F. People said it was so high that even birds could not reach it. G. Climbers must also deal with thin air, high cliffs, and changeable weather. 【答案】26. G 27. D 28. F 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了中国登山队首次从北坡登顶珠穆朗玛峰的历程，以及后续中国登山队的相关成就。 【26题详解】 前文提到珠穆朗玛峰上温度可降至零下30度，此处需要进一步说明登山者还需应对稀薄空气、高耸悬崖和多变的天气。选项G“Climbers must also deal with thin air, high cliffs, and changeable weather”点明登山者还必须应对稀薄的空气、高耸的悬崖和多变的天气，与前后文共同描述登山的艰难条件。 【27题详解】 前文提到1960年之前无人能从北侧登顶珠峰，后文提到一支中国登山队决定尝试攀登，此处需要说明该路线非常危险。选项D“Mountain climbers even called that way the ‘Death Road’”点明登山者甚至称那条路为“死亡之路”，与前后文衔接自然。 【28题详解】 前文提到登山队员到达海拔8600米的“第二台阶”，后文描述刘连满让队友踩在他的肩膀上艰难攀爬，此处需要说明此处高得连鸟都飞不过去。选项F“People said it was so high that even birds could not reach it”点明人们说它太高了，甚至鸟儿都飞不到，与前后文逻辑连贯。 【29题详解】 前文提到1975年另一支中国登山队登顶进行科研，后文提到直到2007年几乎所有从北坡攀登的登山者都使用这个“中国梯”更快登顶，此处需要说明这次他们带了一个梯子到第二台阶。选项B“This time, they brought a ladder to the Second Step”点明这次他们带了一个梯子到第二台阶，与前后文形成因果和说明关系。 【30题详解】 后文提到一些登山者成功登顶但许多人失败，并探讨人们为何仍冒着生命危险攀登珠峰，此处需要说明攀登珠峰是危险的。选项A“Climbing Qomolangma is dangerous”点明攀登珠穆朗玛峰是危险的，与后文形成转折关系，为探讨人们为何仍愿冒险做铺垫。 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） (A)根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 31.

It’s hard for me to ________ (描述) the feeling when I stood in front of the ancient treasure. 【答案】describe 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我站在古代珍宝面前时，我很难描述那种感觉。根据汉语提示可知，describe“描述”，动词，It is+形容词+for sb. to do sth.“对某人来说做某事是……”，固定句型，所以空处应填动词原形。故填describe。 (B)根据句意，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 36.

All the classmates agreed ________ (introduce) our favourite books to each other. 【答案】to introduce 【解析】 【详解】句意：所有同学都同意互相介绍我们最喜欢的书。句中“agreed”为动词，意为“同意”，后接动词时常用结构“agree to do sth.”，表示“同意做某事”。因此，空格处应将动词introduce转换为不定式形式。introduce的不定式形式为to introduce，意为“介绍”，符合句意。 45. When I walked into my classroom yesterday, Lisa ________ (read) a famous novel quietly. 【答案】was reading 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨天我走进教室时，丽莎正在安静地读一本著名小说。句中“When I walked into my classroom”为过去的时间状语，表示一个短暂动作，主句应用过去进行时，表示动作在发生时正在进行。过去进行时的结构为“was/were + 现在分词”，主语“Lisa”为第三人称单数，故填was reading。 46. So far, many students ________ (collect) lots of wonderful books for the activity. 【答案】have collected 【解析】 【详解】句意：到目前为止，许多学生为这项活动收集了许多精彩的书籍。句中“So far”为现在完成时的标志词，表示“到目前为止”，强调动作的累积。主语“many students”为复数，故填have collected。 47. We are discussing when ________ (take) part in the Reading Fun Fair, our favourite part of the festival. 【答案】to take 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们正在讨论何时参加读书趣味展，这是我们最喜欢的节日部分。“when + to do sth.”表示“何时做某事”，在句中作宾语。故填to take。 48. Why not ________ (get) prepared for the fair first? In this way, we can win a big prize! 【答案】get 【解析】 【详解】句意：为什么不先为展会做好准备呢？这样我们就能赢得大奖！句中“Why not”为固定句型，意为“为什么不”，后接动词原形，用于提出建议。因此，空格处应将动词get保持原形，故填get。 49. But some of us have difficulty ________ (remember) details in so many books. 【答案】remembering 【解析】 【详解】句意：但我们中的一些人在这么多书中记住细节有困难。句中“have difficulty”为固定短语，后接“in doing sth.”，意为“做某事有困难”，其中介词in可以省略，因此后面需接动名词形式。remember的动名词形式为remembering。 50. Never mind! I believe this activity ________ (help) us share book details better in the future. 【答案】will help 【解析】 【详解】句意：没关系！我相信这个活动将来会帮助我们更好地分享书籍详情。in the future“在将来”，表明动作发生在未来，因此需用一般将来时，结构为“will + 动词原形”。故填will help。 七、阅读表达 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容问答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。 Let’s go to Rome!

B Tiny Treasures: How Chinese Fridge Magnets (冰箱贴) Sha re History In recent years, China’s cultural and creative fridge magnets have changed from simple souvenirs (纪念品) to special carriers of local culture. Loved across the country, this fashion started with museums—they turned famous ancient things into small and easy-to-carry treasures. A popular “Phoenix Crown (凤冠)” Magnet has become a hit souvenir at the National Museum of China. Copied after the Phoenix Crown of Empress Xiaoduan from the Ming Dynasty, it has bright colors and small designs. Holding it feels like touching a piece of history from hundreds of years ago. The Hubei Provincial Museum also has a farnous fridge magnet: the Zeng Hou Yi Bells. The fridge magnet is a tiny copy of one of these bronze-colored bells. Some even have a little button—press it, and you can hear short, clear music that sounds like the bells from 2,400 years ago. It’s like bringing a piece of ancient “super musical instrument” home! The White Jade (玉) Pig-Dragon is an early form of the Chinese dragon. It is 15 cm tall,10.2cm wide, and 3.8 cm thick. It mixes the looks of this and bears. The fridge magnet is a tiny copy of this 5,000-year-oldjade relic (遗物) from the Hongshan Culture. Now, the White Jade Pig-Dragon is kept in the Liaoning Provincial Museum and is the museum’s logo. Why are these magnets popular? A museum director said: “A fridge magnet is not just a product. It connects the past and the present, bringing culture from museums into daily life.” 16. From the passage, we can learn that the Phoenix Crown magnet has ________. A. a little button that can be touched B. a long history from Ming Dynasty C. a piece of music recorded inside D. bright colors and small designs 17. What’s the fact about the “The White Jade Pig-Dragon”? A. It is 15 meters tall. B. It is an early form of the pigs. C. It is more than 6,000 years old. D. It is a symbol of the Hongshan Culture. 18. What do the three kinds of fridge magnets have in common according to the passage? A. They all can play music. B. They all have bright colors. C. They are all kept in the same museum. D. They are all special carriers of our ancient culture. 19. What does the underlined word “instrument” probably mean here? A. Tool. B. Machine. C. Choice. D. Facility. 20. What is the main purpose (目的) of the article? A. To explain how to make fridge magnets. B. To connect ancient jade with modern bells. C. To introduce three famous museums in China. D. To show how fridge magnets spread history and culture. C I was travelling on a British ship from India to London in 1905. Among all the passengers, no one would fail to notice Padishah, an Indian businessman. From the moment he got on the ship, he kept showing off the diamond (钻石) on his turban. The big diamond successfully attracted attention, including that of the five ostriches on the deck. One morning, as Padishah passed by the ostriches, one swallowed his diamond suddenly. The bird ran around and mixed itself with the others in no time. “Whose are these stupid ostriches? I want my diamond back!” Padishah shouted angrily. People began to crowd on the deck. I was among the first to arrive. I didn’t feel half sorry for the man as he was asking everyone what to do for the diamond’s return. Word swept across the ship about the accident, reaching a man named Potter. After lunch in the hall, Potter went to Padishah and claimed, “I’ve got in touch with the ostriches’ owner in London. He accepted my offer for all five and now I am the owner. I have the right to keep the birds and the diamond inside.” I thought Potter was rather smart and regretted deeply at a lost chance. Padishah was so upset (沮丧的) and said, “There’s no way you can get my diamond,’ he continued as he got calmer. “I can offer you 100 pounds for the birds.” Potter simply refused and left. After a while, Potter came back to the hall with a sly smile. He announced that he wanted to sell four birds separately to separate people by auction (拍卖). The starting price was 80 for a bird. One of them, he would keep for himself. Before the crowd realized what was happening, a diamond businessman got one bird for 100 pounds. The prices for the following birds rose higher and higher. After the fourth being sold, Padishah got half mad, not knowing what to do. Potter seemed suddenly sorry and said, “I should have kept them all. But... Trust me! The last bird must be the one.” I stared at the last bird for quite a while and asked Potter for a private conversation. After a long talk, I finally got the bird for 700 pounds. ________ The next morning, I was waiting in line to get off the ship, picturing the amazing future life in mind. Then, I saw Padishah and Potter walk arm in arm on the shore, just like old friends. 21. What does the underlined word “swallowed” mean in paragraph 2? A. Broke. B. Ate. C. Took. D. Hid. 22. Which of the following can be put into “________” in Paragraph 8? A. How upset Padishah was! B. What good luck it had! C. How nervous Padishah was! D. What a great deal it was! 23.

A Successful Deal on the ship 四、信息还原 阅读下面的短文，从所给选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Reaching New Heights To most people, Mount Qomolangma is one of the greatest wonders of the world.
