But at the same time, AI will create more jobs. A. will take B. will be taken C. are taken D. take 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——如果大量工作被人工智能取代，会发生什么情况？——这是个好问题。但与此同时，人工智能也会创造更多工作岗位。 主语jobs 与动词短语take over之间构成被动关系，应使用被动语态；if引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则，主句是一般将来时，从句应用一般现在时，结合主语jobs为复数，be动词选用are。 2. —Wow! You have so many old story books. How will you ________ them? —I plan to give them to the children in a village school. A. deal with B. look for C. care about D. give out 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——哇！你有这么多旧故事书。你打算怎么处理它们？ ——我计划把它们送给乡村学校的孩子们。 deal with处理；look for寻找；care about关心；give out分发。根据答句“give them to the children”可知，前句是在问怎么处理旧书，应填deal with。 3. —More and more experts are paying attention to teenagers’ mental health. —I think so. Parents should communicate with kids patiently instead of putting too much ________ on them. A. pleasure B. progress C. patience D. pressure 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——越来越多的专家正在关注青少年的心理健康。——我也这么认为。父母应该耐心地与孩子沟通，而不是给他们施加太多的压力。 pleasure快乐；progress进步；patience耐心；pressure压力。根据“instead of”可知前后表示转折关系，前文建议耐心沟通，结合“teenagers’ mental health”语境，此处指不应施加太多压力，固定搭配put pressure on sb.意为“给某人施加压力”。 4. —Our school will have a school trip to pick tea this weekend. —Sounds great! Activities like this are ________, but helpful for our growth. A. exciting B. boring C. challenging D. relaxing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们学校这周末将有一次去采茶的学校旅行。——听起来很棒！像这样的活动是具有挑战性的，但对我们的成长有帮助。 exciting令人兴奋的；boring无聊的；challenging具有挑战性的；relaxing令人放松的。根据“Sounds great!”排除消极意义的boring；由转折连词“but”可知前后语意相反，后半句强调对成长有益，推测活动本身具有一定难度，challenging符合语境。 5. —Did you hear that Linda didn’t pass the exam? —________ She is always the top student in our class! A. Good luck. B. Sorry, I don’t know. C. Don’t worry. D. You can’t be serious. 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你听说琳达没通过考试了吗？——你肯定是在开玩笑吧！她可是我们班的第一名啊！ 考查情景交际。Good luck祝你好运；Sorry, I don’t know抱歉，我不知道；Don’t worry别担心；You can’t be serious你肯定是在开玩笑。根据“She is always the top student in our class”可推知回应者认为对方的消息难以置信，需要表达强烈惊讶的语气。故选D。 Ⅵ．完形填空(共20小题：每小题1分，满分20分) 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A An old man was fishing by the river.

The old man was really good at…and it didn’t take long for him to catch a basket of fish.”可知，前句提及老人在河边钓鱼，后句“钓到一篮鱼”表明他擅长 “钓鱼”。故选B。 【7题详解】 句意：老人看到可爱的女孩时，决定送给她一篮鱼，但女孩摇了摇头。 asked询问；advised建议；decided决定；agreed同意。根据“The old man…to give her a basket of fish when he saw the cute girl”可知，“看到可爱女孩”是老人做出“决定送鱼”动作的契机。故选C。 【8题详解】 句意：老人看到可爱的女孩时，决定送给她一篮鱼，但女孩摇了摇头。 nodded点头；turned转动；shook摇晃；raised举起。根据“but the girl…her head.”可知，转折词but表示女孩对老人送鱼的行为持否定态度，“摇头”是拒绝的常见动作。故选C。 【9题详解】 句意：老人感到很惊讶，问道：“那你想要什么？” surprised惊讶的；worried担心的；excited兴奋的；pleased高兴的。根据“The old man felt so…and asked, ‘Then what do you want?’”可知，女孩拒绝鱼却要鱼竿的行为超出老人预期，“惊讶的”符合他的情绪反应。故选A。 【10题详解】 句意：“我能要你手里的钓鱼竿吗？” 她脸红了，小声地问。 lift up举起；ask for请求；look for寻找；wait for等待。根据“‘Can I…the fishing rod in your hands?’”可知，女孩直接表达对鱼竿的需求，“请求”符合她向老人索要物品的语义。故选B。 【11题详解】 句意：“我能要你手里的钓鱼竿吗？” 她脸红了，小声地问。 low低的；loud大声的；high高的；sad悲伤的。根据“With her face turning red, she asked in a…voice.” 可知，“脸红”表明女孩害羞，“小声地”符合她紧张时的说话状态。故选A。 【12题详解】 句意：如果我有钓鱼竿，我就可以自己去钓鱼，我就不会担心没有东西吃了。 yourself你自己；herself她自己；himself他自己；myself我自己。根据“If I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by…”可知，主语为I，反身代词“我自己”与主语一致，表达“独自钓鱼”的含义。故选D。 【13题详解】 句意：如果我有钓鱼竿，我就可以自己去钓鱼，我就不会担心没有东西吃了。 everything所有事物；something某事；nothing没有东西；anything任何事物。根据“I won’t be worried about having…to eat.”可知，“不会担心”后接否定含义的“没有东西”，表示“不担心没东西吃”。故选C。 【14题详解】 句意：他们认为如果有“钓鱼竿”，就不会害怕风和雨。 weather天气；moon月亮；sun太阳；wind风。根据“They think they won’t be afraid of the…and rain if they have a ‘fishing rod’.”可知，与“雨”并列的自然现象为“风”，共同指代钓鱼时的环境挑战。故选D。 【15题详解】 句意：但如果他们不知道如何钓鱼，即使有钓鱼竿，也吃不到鱼。 where哪里；how如何；when何时；what什么。根据“But if they don’t know…to fish, they cannot have fish to eat”可知，后半句“吃不到鱼”的前提是缺乏钓鱼技能，“如何钓鱼”符合“技巧比工具重要”的主旨。故选B。 B For many adults, it’s very common to find them awake (清醒的) late at night. They have ____16____ falling asleep because of too much stress (压力). They usually think of their childhood days without worries. Back then, they could sleep ____17____.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Kitty和A的对话。Kitty上周末读了一本关于生态系统的书，A对此很感兴趣，询问了相关内容。 【26题详解】 A问Kitty上周末做了什么，Kitty需要回答一个具体活动。后面A说“我对它们一无所知”，说明Kitty提到了某个复数概念（如生态系统）。选项B“I read a book about ecosystems.”符合逻辑，引出了下文对生态系统的讨论。 【27题详解】 A表示对生态系统不了解，自然应当询问Kitty从书中学到了什么。选项D“What did you learn from the book?”直接引出Kitty对生态系统的介绍（不同种类的生态系统等）。其他选项无法衔接。 【28题详解】 A问海洋生态系统中是否有重要部分，Kitty回答珊瑚礁很重要，接下来应说明珊瑚礁的作用。选项A“They can support a lot of sea life.”是对珊瑚礁功能的合理描述，与上文“play an important role”呼应。 【29题详解】 Kitty接着说“是的”，然后提到“然而，随着地球变暖，冰正在融化”，说明前面应先介绍冰是某些动物的家园，形成转折。选项F“The ice is home to animals like polar bears and penguins.”符合逻辑，后文“冰融化使动物难以生存”自然承接。 【30题详解】 A听到冰融化影响动物生存后表示遗憾，接着应询问解决方法。选项E“What can we do to stop it from getting worse?”与Kitty回答“使用更多绿色能源、种更多树”直接对应。 Ⅷ．阅读理解(共20小题;每题2分，满分40分) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Cornell University raised the 3 P’s for effective (有效的) reading. The 3 P’s—purpose (目标), preview (预览), plan—allow students to get into their reading and learn more actively. Purpose - “Why am I reading this?” Think about the reason you’re reading. Is it for fun, to learn something new, or to find an answer? Example: “I’m reading this story to find out how the hero solves the problem he meets.” Why it helps: Knowing your purpose keeps you focused and makes reading more meaningful. Preview - “Let’s take a quick look !” Before reading, look at the title, pictures, and headings. Look through the pages to see what’s coming. Example: “I see a picture of a dragon — maybe this is an adventure (冒险)”!. Why it helps: Previewing builds your interest and gives hints (线索) about what you will read. Plan - “How will I read this?” Decide how you’ll read—slowly to understand new words, or quickly to get the main idea. Example: “I’ll read one chapter at a time and write down new words.” Why it helps: Planning helps you keep on tasks and remember more of what you read. 31. What do we use 3 P’s for? A. Effective listening. B. Effective reading. C. Effective writing. D. Effective talking. 32. What does “previewing” help you do? A. Focus on the reading task. B. Understand new words. C. Build interest and get hints. D. Read more quickly. 33. Which of the following example is “planning”? A. “I’ll read this chapter and write down the words that I don’t know.” B. “I’m reading this science article to learn how bees help plants grow.” C. “I see the picture of colorful fish—this book is probably about ocean life.” D. “I’m reading the traveling guide book to decide where to go on my next vacation.” 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. A 【解析】 【导语】本题主要介绍了康奈尔大学提出的有效阅读的3P方法（Purpose、Preview、Plan），并通过选择题考查对这一阅读策略的理解与应用。 【31题详解】 原文第一句明确指出“Cornell University raised the 3 P’s for effective reading”，直接说明3P方法是用于有效阅读的，因此对应选项B。 【32题详解】 在Preview板块的“Why it helps”部分，原文提到“Previewing builds your interest and gives hints about what you will read”，与选项C“Build interest and get hints”完全对应。 【33题详解】 Plan板块的示例为“I’ll read one chapter at a time and write down new words”，选项A“I’ll read this chapter and write down the words that I don’t know”与该示例结构和内容一致，属于规划阅读方式的表达；而选项B、D属于Purpose（目标），选项C属于Preview（预览），因此答案为A。 B Have you ever wondered why we say maidongxi (卖东西) instead of mainanbei, shangcesuo (上厕所) instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo (意见相左) instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind them. When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei. A theory says that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an, the national capital at the time. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi. We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to (指代) directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to (与……有关联) being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs (信念), we still say they are following ________. When shaking hands, it’s important to know which hand to use. In most cultures, the right hand is generally used for a handshake. For example, in some countries, such as India and Nepal, the left hand is considered unclean. However, if you are in a culture where the left hand is used, you’d better do as the locals do. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for a higher position than “left”. For example, the character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 34. Why does the writer use shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo in the first paragraph? A. To tell a story. B. To introduce the topic. C. To give an example. D. To solve a mystery. 35. Which picture shows the layout (布局) of houses in ancient China according to the passage? gate ; bathroom ; kitchen A. B. C. D. 36. Which of the following can be best put in ________? A. qishangmanxia B. shangcuanxiatiao C. pangmenzuodao D. zuosiyouxiang 37. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. In ancient China, most of the people were left-handed. B. In ancient Chinese, the word “right” meant being different. C. In India, people should shake hands with their right hand. D. When shaking hands, we should never use the left hand. 【答案】34. B 35. B 36. C 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇文化说明文，通过分析中文中与方位相关的词汇（如“买东西”“上厕所”“意见相左”等），揭示了其中蕴含的历史渊源、古代建筑布局、社会地位观念以及左右手文化差异。 【34题详解】 第一段以“买东西”“上厕所”“意见相左”为例提出问题，引出下文对这些词语背后历史文化的解释，因此是为了引入主题。 【35题详解】 第三段提到古代房屋布局为“The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part.”，即门朝南，厕所在东北，厨房在东南。图片B符合描述。 【36题详解】 第五段提到古代中国“左”代表“不同、非主流”，如果人们不接受普遍信念，会被说“遵循左道（非主流）”。选项 C“pangmenzuodao”指“旁门左道，表示不正派的门路或办法，正好对应“不接受普遍信念、非主流”的含义。 【37题详解】 第六段提到“in some countries, such as India and Nepal, the left hand is considered unclean.”，结合“you’d better do as the locals do”，可知在印度应用右手握手。 C It was a summer, but what a summer. I once had my own vegetable garden. It was my first and also my last because I couldn’t go to the countryside often enough to keep my eyes on it. Anyway, the second summer, the bugs (虫子) found us and ate some of the vegetables. I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped. But the first season was so pleasant. I still remember sitting in that garden—fresh air on my face, quiet all around me. Sometimes I would sing, softly at first, then a little louder. Soon a small group of cows walked over and put their big heads over the fence (栅栏), looking at me gently. Mostly I sat there, picking green beans, boiling them, adding a little butter and salt, and eating them just like that. They were so delicious that I felt like singing again, right there in the quiet garden. Once I thought life was too short for all my dreams. There were so many choices, and it made me sad that things had to end or I had to choose between them. How could I both live on a farm and travel the world? It seemed that enjoying life fully only meant loss. However, nothing was lost. These memories are a permanent (永恒的) part of me. I often think back to that wonderful summer and my lovely garden. Little by little, the truth became okay with me: someone who loves many things can’t make all of them permanent. You have to walk away from one thing so you can have another. So, it’s common for us to feel a little lost sometimes. Then I understood that summer with my fresh vegetables, the hours I spent sitting on the ground, and the unexpected love from the cows—all these filled an empty place in my heart. And it has never been empty since. 38. What made the author stop planting the vegetable garden? A. She didn’t have enough time or energy for it. B. The garden was too far away for her to visit. C. The plants were eaten by insects. D. She was not interested in it. 39. Which of the following is NOT a simple pleasure for the author in her garden time? A. Enjoying the quiet and fresh air. B. Eating freshly cooked vegetables. C. Selling vegetables for money. D. Having unexpected animal visitors. 40. According to the author, what did the experience of that summer finally bring to her life? A. The sad feeling of not keeping the garden. B. The ways to grow vegetables successfully. C. More free time to enjoy being close to nature later. D. Permanent memories that filled an empty space inside. 【答案】38. A 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者短暂经营菜园的经历，回忆了其中的美好时光，并从中感悟到：生活中并非所有选择都能长久，但那些美好的回忆会成为永恒的慰藉。 【38题详解】 文章第2段“I couldn’t go to the countryside often enough to keep my eyes on it. I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped.”表明作者停止种植菜园是因为她没有足够的时间和精力照料它。 【39题详解】 文章第3段“I still remember sitting in that garden—fresh air on my face, quiet all around me. Soon a small group of cows walked over...eating them just like that.”表明作者在菜园中的乐趣包括享受宁静与新鲜空气、吃现煮的蔬菜、意外动物访客。文中未提及“卖蔬菜赚钱”。 【40题详解】 文章第5段以及第6段“These memories are a permanent part of me...all these filled an empty place in my heart.”表明那个夏天的经历最终给她的生活带来了能填补内心的空缺的永恒回忆。 D The Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year 2025, “parasocial”, made me think of my college years. When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. Worse, it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations. Northern kids like me had a hard time fitting in. It was a lonely time. Reading the work of people who seemed to care about the same things I did helped me feel better. “Insist on (坚持) yourself,” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. “Never imitate (仿效).” I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. I talked with other students, of course. But so often, I felt as if they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds. Friendships come in many forms. It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby. After all, it’s a bigger world out there. We can easily find all sorts of people writing or being written about, photographing or being photographed. We may find people we really admire, who are better-looking or smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies. Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend. But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal. We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone in having a certain thought or fear. However, it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else. So, celebrate your admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson (or Taylor Swift, as the case may be). But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different. 41. According to the author, when he went to college, he expected to ________. A. become a curious reader B. have close friendships with other book lovers C. develop parasocial friendships with book characters D. discuss the meaning of life with his professors at night 42. According to the article, parasocial friendships include those with ________. ① AI ② book characters ③ movie characters ④ people with similar interests ⑤ people with different interests A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ③④⑤ D. ①②⑤ 43. Which of the following words from the article is the opposite of the underlined word “reciprocal”? A. Real. B. Curious. C. One-sided. D. Comforting. 44. At the end of the article, the author suggests that people ________. A. replace real friends with AI friends B. read more books to discover like-minded friends C. be open to connecting with people who are different D. only make friends with those who share the same interests 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者大学时难以融入集体，形成准社交友谊，并对比其与真实友谊，建议人们敞开心扉交友。 【41题详解】 第一段明确指出“When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life.”，说明作者期望和爱书的人建立亲密友谊。 【42题详解】 文中第二段“It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby.…It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies.”及第三段“You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend.”提到人们会和书中、电影中的角色交友，还可以通过AI创造朋友，这些都属于准社交友谊，由此确定①②③正确。 【43题详解】 第四段提到“But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal.”，两句话形成对比，可推测one‑sided是reciprocal的反义词。 【44题详解】 最后一段指出“But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different.”，说明作者建议人们主动接触不同的人。 E On March 28, 2026, history was made in Portimão, Portugal. French rider Valentin Debise crossed the finish line on a Chinese motorcycle called ZXMOTO 820RR-RS. He won the race with a lead of nearly 4 seconds! This was a historic moment because it was the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand had ever won at the World Superbike Championship (世界超级摩托车锦标赛). The man behind this victory is Zhang Xue. His story is like a real-life racing movie. Born in a small village in Hunan Province in 1987, Zhang Xue had a difficult childhood. He was so poor that he had to drop out of school at age 14. He became a motorcycle repair apprentice (学徒), sleeping in a small room above the repair shop. His hands were always covered in oil, but his heart was full of dreams. At 19, Zhang saw a TV program about motorcycle racing. He was so excited that he rode 100 kilometers in heavy rain to catch up with the TV crew, hoping to get a chance to enter the race. People laughed at him, but he never gave up his dream. For the next 20 years, Zhang worked day and night, throwing himself into motorcycle research and development. In 2024, he started his own company, naming it “ZXMOTO” after himself. Many people thought he was crazy to compete with big international brands like Yamaha and Ducati. But Zhang believed in himself. “When my effort is ten times that of my opponents (对手), why shouldn’t I win?” he often said. When the race ended in Portugal, Zhang was watching the live broadcast (直播) in Chongqing, China. He jumped up, waved the national flag, and burst into tears. “We finally made it,” he shouted. “This is not just a win for our team. It’s a win for Chinese manufacturing (制造业)!” The ZXMOTO motorcycle that won the race was completely designed and made in China, and it proved that “Made in China” can be the best in the world. 45. What is the correct order of the following events in Zhang Xue’s life? a. He dropped out of school and became a repair apprentice. b. He started his own company ZXMOTO. c. He rode 100 kilometers in heavy rain to chase a TV crew. d. He watched the live broadcast of the winning race in Chongqing. A. a → c → b → d B. a → b → c → d C. c → a → b → d D. c → b → a → d 46. Why did the writer say “His story is like a real-life racing movie”? A. Because Zhang Xue acted in a racing movie. B. Because Zhang Xue’s life is full of challenges and is inspiring, just like an exciting movie. C. Because Zhang Xue made a movie about motorcycle racing. D. Because Zhang Xue likes watching racing movies in his free time. 47. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It introduces the rules of the World Superbike Championship. B. It tells the story of Zhang Xue, who made Chinese motorcycles win a world championship with hard work and persistence. C. It explains how to start a motorcycle company in China. D. It shows why French riders like riding Chinese motorcycles. 【答案】45. A 46. B 47. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述湖南人张雪从小家境贫寒、早早辍学做修车学徒，一直怀揣摩托车赛车梦想。他不惧他人嘲笑，坚持潜心研发摩托车，创立自主品牌 ZXMOTO。最终国产摩托车拿下世界超级摩托车锦标赛冠军，张雪也用坚持和努力证明了中国制造的实力。 【45题详解】 第二段“He was so poor that he had to drop out of school at age 14. He became a motorcycle repair apprentice…”、第三段“At 19, Zhang saw a TV program about motorcycle racing. He was so excited that he rode 100 kilometers in heavy rain to catch up with the TV crew…”、第四段“In 2024, he started his own company, naming it ‘ZXMOTO’ after himself.”以及最后一段“When the race ended in Portugal, Zhang was watching the live broadcastin Chongqing, China…We finally made it…”，通读文章按时间梳理：14岁辍学成为摩托车修理学徒；19岁冒雨骑行百公里追赶电视节目组；2024年创办自己的ZXMOTO公司；在重庆观看夺冠比赛直播 事件先后顺序为：a → c → b → d。 【46题详解】 文章讲述张雪出身贫寒、中途辍学，追梦路上遭人嘲笑却从不放弃，坚持研发摩托车最终为国争光，人生经历充满坎坷又励志感人，就像真实的赛车励志电影。 【47题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要讲述张雪心怀赛车梦想，历经艰辛、坚持奋斗，自主创立摩托品牌，最终让中国制造摩托车拿下世界超级摩托车锦标赛冠军的励志故事。 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 One day, Confucius and his students went through a large forest. They saw a bow-backed (驼背的) old man. He was catching cicadas (蝉) as easily as picking up fallen leaves. Confucius asked, “Your skill is excellent! Is there a secret to it?” “Of course! I have my method!” the old man answered. “I trained my hands for six months. First, I learned to place two clay balls (泥丸) on top of my bamboo stick without falling off. As I did it, I could often catch cicadas. When the balls became three, I missed only once or twice. Finally, I placed five clay balls. Once I could do that, catching cicadas became as easy as picking them from the ground!” The old man continued, “But that was not enough. Cicadas are clever. I trained to stand as still as a tree and hold the bamboo stick without any shaking so that I wouldn’t make any noise or scare cicadas away. More importantly, I trained my mind. When I focus, I see nothing but the cicada’s wings. I don’t turn my head or look around at all. At that moment, nothing can take my attention away. How could I not succeed?” Hearing this, Confucius turned to his students and said, “No matter what you do, you should keep training and put all your heart into it. This is what this old man has taught us.” This is the ancient Chinese story—Goulouchengtiao. The wise thoughts are passed on and still influence us. 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 48. What was the old man doing when Confucius saw him? (不超过5个词) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 49. Why did the old man train to stand still? (不超过15个词) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 50. What can we learn from the story of Goulouchengtiao? (不超过18个词) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】48. He was catching cicadas. 49. To not make noise or scare cicadas away. 50. We should keep training and put all our heart into what we do. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了孔子与弟子在林间遇到一位捕蝉老人，老人通过长期训练手、身、心达到专注境界，孔子由此教导学生要持之以恒、全神贯注的故事。 【48题详解】 第一段明确描述“He was catching cicadas as easily as picking up fallen leaves.”，因此孔子见到老人时，他正在捕蝉。答案直接取自原文。 【49题详解】 文中老人解释训练静止站立的原因：“so that I wouldn’t make any noise or scare cicadas away.” 直接提取该目的即可。 【50题详解】 故事结尾孔子总结道“No matter what you do, you should keep training and put all your heart into it.” 这正是“佝偻承蜩”故事给我们的启示。 第四部分 写(共四大题，满分30分) IX．根据首字母，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 51.

Ⅷ．阅读理解(共20小题;每题2分，满分40分) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Cornell University raised the 3 P’s for effective (有效的) reading. The 3 P’s—purpose (目标), preview (预览), plan—allow students to get into their reading and learn more actively. Purpose - “Why am I reading this?” Think about the reason you’re reading. Is it for fun, to learn something new, or to find an answer? Example: “I’m reading this story to find out how the hero solves the problem he meets.” Why it helps: Knowing your purpose keeps you focused and makes reading more meaningful. Preview - “Let’s take a quick look !” Before reading, look at the title, pictures, and headings. Look through the pages to see what’s coming. Example: “I see a picture of a dragon — maybe this is an adventure (冒险)”!. Why it helps: Previewing builds your interest and gives hints (线索) about what you will read. Plan - “How will I read this?” Decide how you’ll read—slowly to understand new words, or quickly to get the main idea. Example: “I’ll read one chapter at a time and write down new words.” Why it helps: Planning helps you keep on tasks and remember more of what you read. 31. What do we use 3 P’s for? A. Effective listening. B. Effective reading. C. Effective writing. D. Effective talking. 32. What does “previewing” help you do? A. Focus on the reading task. B. Understand new words. C. Build interest and get hints. D. Read more quickly. 33. Which of the following example is “planning”? A. “I’ll read this chapter and write down the words that I don’t know.” B. “I’m reading this science article to learn how bees help plants grow.” C. “I see the picture of colorful fish—this book is probably about ocean life.” D. “I’m reading the traveling guide book to decide where to go on my next vacation.” B Have you ever wondered why we say maidongxi (卖东西) instead of mainanbei, shangcesuo (上厕所) instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo (意见相左) instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind them. When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei. A theory says that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an, the national capital at the time. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi. We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to (指代) directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to (与……有关联) being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs (信念), we still say they are following ________. When shaking hands, it’s important to know which hand to use. In most cultures, the right hand is generally used for a handshake. For example, in some countries, such as India and Nepal, the left hand is considered unclean. However, if you are in a culture where the left hand is used, you’d better do as the locals do. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for a higher position than “left”. For example, the character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 34. Why does the writer use shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo in the first paragraph? A. To tell a story. B. To introduce the topic. C. To give an example. D. To solve a mystery. 35. Which picture shows the layout (布局) of houses in ancient China according to the passage? gate ; bathroom ; kitchen A. B. C. D. 36. Which of the following can be best put in ________? A. qishangmanxia B. shangcuanxiatiao C. pangmenzuodao D. zuosiyouxiang 37. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. In ancient China, most of the people were left-handed. B. In ancient Chinese, the word “right” meant being different. C. In India, people should shake hands with their right hand. D. When shaking hands, we should never use the left hand. C It was a summer, but what a summer. I once had my own vegetable garden. It was my first and also my last because I couldn’t go to the countryside often enough to keep my eyes on it. Anyway, the second summer, the bugs (虫子) found us and ate some of the vegetables. I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped. But the first season was so pleasant. I still remember sitting in that garden—fresh air on my face, quiet all around me. Sometimes I would sing, softly at first, then a little louder. Soon a small group of cows walked over and put their big heads over the fence (栅栏), looking at me gently. Mostly I sat there, picking green beans, boiling them, adding a little butter and salt, and eating them just like that. They were so delicious that I felt like singing again, right there in the quiet garden. Once I thought life was too short for all my dreams. There were so many choices, and it made me sad that things had to end or I had to choose between them. How could I both live on a farm and travel the world? It seemed that enjoying life fully only meant loss. However, nothing was lost. These memories are a permanent (永恒的) part of me. I often think back to that wonderful summer and my lovely garden. Little by little, the truth became okay with me: someone who loves many things can’t make all of them permanent. You have to walk away from one thing so you can have another. So, it’s common for us to feel a little lost sometimes. Then I understood that summer with my fresh vegetables, the hours I spent sitting on the ground, and the unexpected love from the cows—all these filled an empty place in my heart. And it has never been empty since. 38. What made the author stop planting the vegetable garden? A. She didn’t have enough time or energy for it. B. The garden was too far away for her to visit. C. The plants were eaten by insects. D. She was not interested in it. 39. Which of the following is NOT a simple pleasure for the author in her garden time? A. Enjoying the quiet and fresh air. B. Eating freshly cooked vegetables. C. Selling vegetables for money. D. Having unexpected animal visitors. 40. According to the author, what did the experience of that summer finally bring to her life? A. The sad feeling of not keeping the garden. B. The ways to grow vegetables successfully. C. More free time to enjoy being close to nature later. D. Permanent memories that filled an empty space inside. D The Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year 2025, “parasocial”, made me think of my college years. When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. Worse, it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations. Northern kids like me had a hard time fitting in. It was a lonely time. Reading the work of people who seemed to care about the same things I did helped me feel better. “Insist on (坚持) yourself,” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. “Never imitate (仿效).” I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. I talked with other students, of course. But so often, I felt as if they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds. Friendships come in many forms. It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby. After all, it’s a bigger world out there. We can easily find all sorts of people writing or being written about, photographing or being photographed. We may find people we really admire, who are better-looking or smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies. Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend. But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal. We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone in having a certain thought or fear. However, it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else. So, celebrate your admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson (or Taylor Swift, as the case may be). But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different. 41. According to the author, when he went to college, he expected to ________.

French rider Valentin Debise crossed the finish line on a Chinese motorcycle called ZXMOTO 820RR-RS. He won the race with a lead of nearly 4 seconds! This was a historic moment because it was the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand had ever won at the World Superbike Championship (世界超级摩托车锦标赛). The man behind this victory is Zhang Xue. His story is like a real-life racing movie. Born in a small village in Hunan Province in 1987, Zhang Xue had a difficult childhood. He was so poor that he had to drop out of school at age 14. He became a motorcycle repair apprentice (学徒), sleeping in a small room above the repair shop. His hands were always covered in oil, but his heart was full of dreams. At 19, Zhang saw a TV program about motorcycle racing. He was so excited that he rode 100 kilometers in heavy rain to catch up with the TV crew, hoping to get a chance to enter the race. People laughed at him, but he never gave up his dream. For the next 20 years, Zhang worked day and night, throwing himself into motorcycle research and development. In 2024, he started his own company, naming it “ZXMOTO” after himself. Many people thought he was crazy to compete with big international brands like Yamaha and Ducati. But Zhang believed in himself. “When my effort is ten times that of my opponents (对手), why shouldn’t I win?” he often said. When the race ended in Portugal, Zhang was watching the live broadcast (直播) in Chongqing, China. He jumped up, waved the national flag, and burst into tears. “We finally made it,” he shouted. “This is not just a win for our team. It’s a win for Chinese manufacturing (制造业)!” The ZXMOTO motorcycle that won the race was completely designed and made in China, and it proved that “Made in China” can be the best in the world. 45. What is the correct order of the following events in Zhang Xue’s life? a. He dropped out of school and became a repair apprentice. b. He started his own company ZXMOTO. c. He rode 100 kilometers in heavy rain to chase a TV crew. d. He watched the live broadcast of the winning race in Chongqing. A. a → c → b → d B. a → b → c → d C. c → a → b → d D. c → b → a → d 46. Why did the writer say “His story is like a real-life racing movie”? A. Because Zhang Xue acted in a racing movie. B. Because Zhang Xue’s life is full of challenges and is inspiring, just like an exciting movie. C. Because Zhang Xue made a movie about motorcycle racing. D. Because Zhang Xue likes watching racing movies in his free time. 47. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It introduces the rules of the World Superbike Championship. B. It tells the story of Zhang Xue, who made Chinese motorcycles win a world championship with hard work and persistence. C. It explains how to start a motorcycle company in China. D. It shows why French riders like riding Chinese motorcycles. 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 One day, Confucius and his students went through a large forest. They saw a bow-backed (驼背的) old man. He was catching cicadas (蝉) as easily as picking up fallen leaves. Confucius asked, “Your skill is excellent! Is there a secret to it?” “Of course! I have my method!” the old man answered. “I trained my hands for six months. First, I learned to place two clay balls (泥丸) on top of my bamboo stick without falling off. As I did it, I could often catch cicadas. When the balls became three, I missed only once or twice. Finally, I placed five clay balls. Once I could do that, catching cicadas became as easy as picking them from the ground!” The old man continued, “But that was not enough. Cicadas are clever. I trained to stand as still as a tree and hold the bamboo stick without any shaking so that I wouldn’t make any noise or scare cicadas away. More importantly, I trained my mind. When I focus, I see nothing but the cicada’s wings. I don’t turn my head or look around at all. At that moment, nothing can take my attention away. How could I not succeed?” Hearing this, Confucius turned to his students and said, “No matter what you do, you should keep training and put all your heart into it. This is what this old man has taught us.” This is the ancient Chinese story—Goulouchengtiao. The wise thoughts are passed on and still influence us. 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 48.
