A. teaches B. will teach C. taught D. is teaching 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我姐姐教我如何做纸花，我们一起玩得很开心。 teaches教（第三人称单数）；will teach将要教；taught教（过去式）；is teaching正在教。根据后半句“and we had so much fun together”中的“had”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的动作，时态为一般过去时，谓语动词应用过去式。应填taught。 3. —Could you tell me ________ we will have our sports meet? —I’m not sure. Maybe in the City Sports Centre. A. where B. when C. how D. why 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我，我们将要在哪里举行运动会吗？——我不确定。也许在市体育中心。 where哪里；when什么时候；how如何；why为什么。根据答语"Maybe in the City Sports Centre."可知，此处询问的是举行运动会的地点，所以应该使用表示地点的连接词“where”。 4.

The shark came right up under him and bit his lower leg. Mike hit the shark in the face, again and again, until the shark let him go. Swimming to the coast, Mike realized his lower right leg was gone. His friends quickly used a belt as a tourniquet (止血带) to help him, which doctors said saved his life. A day later, Mike learned that his leg had to be cut off below the knee. Once Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what might seem impossible: He began riding the waves again, even near the place of the attack. He wondered why it happened. He began to research sharks. While he never knew why he was attacked, Mike did learn something life changing. “Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around,” said Mike. “I learned that people have shark fin (鳍) soup and that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.” His situation allowed him to give sharks a voice. He began working with Hawaii’s government to help stop shark-made products. He worked with other shark attack survivors and went to Washington to ask lawmakers to create a bill to protect sharks. He even spoke at the United Nations about creating safe places for sharks to live. 39. How did Mike’s friends help save his life? A. They hit the shark hard in the face. B. They used a belt to stop bleeding. C. They called doctors from the island. D. They turned a surfboard into a tourniquet. 40. What surprising fact did Mike learn about sharks? A. Humans protect sharks quite well. B. Sharks usually hunt people for food. C. Sharks often attack surfers near beaches. D. Humans kill many sharks every year. 41. What did the underlined words “give sharks a voice” mean in the last paragraph? A. Teach others about shark attacks. B. Speak up to protect sharks. C. Comfort shark attack survivors. D. Record sounds made by sharks. 【答案】39. B 40. D 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Mike遭遇鲨鱼袭击后幸存的故事，他从这次经历中意识到人类对鲨鱼的威胁，并积极投身于保护鲨鱼的行动中。 【39题详解】 根据原文第一段“His friends quickly used a belt as a tourniquet to help him, which doctors said saved his life.”可知，Mike的朋友们用皮带给他止血，挽救了他的生命。 【40题详解】 根据原文第三段“I learned that people have shark fin soup and that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.”可知，Mike 了解到每年有大量鲨鱼因鱼翅贸易被人类杀害。 【41题详解】 结合下文“He began working with Hawaii’s government to help stop shark-made products. He worked with other shark attack survivors and went to Washington to ask lawmakers to create a bill to protect sharks. He even spoke at the United Nations about creating safe places for sharks to live.”，Mike开始与夏威夷政府合作、推动保护鲨鱼的法案、在联合国发言，这些行为都是为了保护鲨鱼发声、呼吁关注鲨鱼的生存困境。 C I am Yu Peixin. When I was 11 or 12 years old, I read Educated: A Memoir by the American writer Tara Westover for the first time. However, I soon became bored. The book tells the story of Westover’s life; she longed for knowledge but was kept out of school by her father. With strong determination (决心), she taught herself and continued to study on her own. At that time, I found the book uninteresting not because her story lacked (缺乏) meaning, but because it was difficult for a young girl to fully understand it. In the end, I stopped reading about halfway through. This year, the book became a required reading in my class. Now that I am 15, reading it again was a completely different experience. This time, I could clearly see the courage behind Westover’s pursuit (追求) of education and the price she paid for her independence. Breaking free from her family’s beliefs was not easy, but she managed to do it and even went on to attend college. I realized that my own education over the years has changed the way I read and understand books. Reading Educated didn’t just teach me about Westover’s journey—it also helped me think about my own. I learned that education is not only a kind of power, but also something that opens up the mind and deepens the heart. 42. Why did Yu Peixin stop reading the book at first? A. Because the writer’s story lacked meaning. B. Because the book was too long for her. C. Because she wanted to study on her own. D. Because she was too young to understand it. 43. What happened when Yu read the book again? A. She got a completely different opinion about travelling. B. She broke free from her family’s beliefs successfully. C. She better understood Westover’s courage and choices. D. She managed to attend college with Westover’s help. 44. What lesson did Yu learn from reading the book? A. Family support is the key to a good education. B. Education shapes minds and deepens feelings. C. Courage always leads people to quick success. D. Reading many books improves writing skills. 【答案】42. D 43. C 44. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者Yu Peixin在不同年龄两次阅读《你当像鸟飞往你的山》的不同感受，以及这本书带给她的成长与感悟。 【42题详解】 根据原文第二段“At that time, I found the book uninteresting... but because it was difficult for a young girl to fully understand it.”可知，她当时是因为年纪太小，无法理解书中内容才放弃阅读。 【43题详解】 根据原文第三段“This time, I could clearly see the courage behind Westover’s pursuit of education and the price she paid for her independence.”可知，再次阅读时，她更好地理解了作者Tara Westover追求教育的勇气与选择。 【44题详解】 根据原文第四段“I learned that education is not only a kind of power, but also something that opens up the mind and deepens the heart.”可知，读了这本书，她明白了教育能开阔眼界、丰富内心。 D Do you ever think about visiting beautiful villages but don’t have the time? Thanks to modern technology, you can now visit them without even leaving your home. The Traditional Chinese Village Digital Museum is a free online museum. People began building this museum in 2017. It has become the world’s largest rural heritage database (乡村遗产数据库). It offers interesting ways to see 6,819 villages across China. With just your phone or computer, you can learn about the beauty and history of thousands of traditional Chinese villages. You can take 360-degree virtual (虚拟的) tours and feel like you’re really walking through the streets. You can look inside traditional houses and imagine the daily lives of people in the past. There are also 3D models of villages, short films and lots of photos showing their history. If you like stories, you can listen to real villagers share their memories of these special places. The online museum also has exhibitions about special buildings, like the tulou, a traditional building in Fujian. If you want to help protect old buildings, you can even “adopt (认领)” them on the website. It’s more than a museum; it’s a journey into China’s living history, packed with culture, art and nature.

A Canadian study found that long-term hobbies can improve the brain’s structure (结构). The research studied 58 people who love bird-watching. Half were experts, while the other half were beginners. Both groups included people of different ages, from the 20s to the 70s, and were similar in education. During brain scans (扫描), volunteers saw a bird photo for less than four seconds. Then, they had to pick the bird from four different pictures. This test was done 72 times, with 18 different kinds of birds. The expert group successfully picked out 83 percent of local birds and 61 percent of non-local ones, while the beginners only got 44 percent right for both. The scans also showed differences in brain structure: the areas responsible for attention and working memory are more compact (紧凑的) in the experts, no matter the age. These areas also “lit up” when the experts tried to pick non-local birds—something that did not happen in the beginners’ brains. Creative hobbies, like music and dancing, are also good for the brain. A 2025 study found that the brains of dancers appeared over seven years younger than their actual age. AI models also showed that even short-term creative learning, like 30 hours, can “turn back time” for the brain. “Creativity shapes not only culture but biology,” the scientists wrote on The Conversation. 49. What is introduced about the research in Paragraph 2? A. Volunteers that took part in the research. B. Reasons to do the research. C. Methods used during the study. D. Bird pictures chosen by experts. 50. What did the volunteers do during the brain scan test? A. Watch bird videos for seconds. B. Draw pictures of local birds. C. Identify a bird from four pictures. D. Describe eighteen kinds of birds. 51. What was found in experts’ brain structures? A. More compact areas for attention and memory. B. Smaller parts that control creative learning. C. Weaker activity during bird recognition tasks. D. Similar brain areas compared with beginners. 52. What can we infer from the scientists’ words in the last paragraph? A. Creativity is the most important part in culture. B. Age is not a problem in activities of creativity. C. AI models perform better in creative learning. D. Creative hobbies bring benefits to human brains. 【答案】49. A 50. C 51. A 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于爱好对大脑健康影响的两项研究，说明了长期爱好和创造性爱好如何改善大脑结构、延缓大脑衰老。 【49题详解】 根据第二段“The research studied 58 people who love bird-watching. Half were experts, while the other half were beginners. Both groups included people of different ages...” 可知，本段介绍了参与研究的志愿者情况（数量、分组、年龄等）。 【50题详解】 根据第三段“During brain scans, volunteers saw a bird photo for less than four seconds. Then, they had to pick the bird from four different pictures.” 可知，志愿者需要从四张图片中识别出目标鸟类。 【51题详解】 根据第四段“The scans also showed differences in brain structure: the areas responsible for attention and working memory are more compact in the experts, no matter the age.” 可知，专家的大脑中，负责注意力和工作记忆的区域更紧凑。 【52题详解】 根据最后一段“Creativity shapes not only culture but biology”以及前文提到的舞蹈、短期创造性学习对大脑的积极影响，可推断创造性爱好对人类大脑有益。 第二节 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) 。 F Blake loved science. During Super Science Week, he hoped his experiment would be accepted so he could enter the science fair. “I will suspend (使悬浮) an egg in water,” Blake told his class. He poured salt into a glass of water and dropped in an egg, but it went straight to the bottom. “Blake’s blushing (脸红)!” Kate shouted. Blake returned to his seat, covering his face. The next day he tried a new experiment in class, but things quickly went wrong. Bubbles (泡泡) went everywhere and got all over Mrs Watson’s grade book. “Blake’s blushing again!” Perry laughed. Still not giving up, Blake tried another experiment the next day. But as he began to explain it, pepper suddenly flew across the desk. That night he realized something: the only thing he could always do was blush. The next morning he stood in front of the class wearing mouse ears. Everyone laughed as his face turned red. “That’s right. I’m blushing. This is my science experiment,” Blake said. “Mouse ears are your science experiment?” Perry asked. “No. Blushing is!” Blake explained, showing a poster for his experiment, “Charles Darwin called blushing ‘the most human of all expressions’. When people feel shy or uncomfortable, more blood goes to their face, so it turns red.” Mrs Watson smiled and said, “Blake, this will be perfect for the science fair.” Blake walked proudly to his seat. His face was red—but this time he didn’t mind. Science was still his thing. 53. What happened after Blake dropped an egg into a glass of water? (不超过10个词) _____________________________________________________________ 54. How many experiments did Blake try in class in total? (不超过5个词) _____________________________________________________________ 55. What is Blake like? Give a reason. (不超过15个词) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】53. It went straight to the bottom. 54. Four. /4. /He tried four experiments. 55. Blake is brave because he isn’t afraid of being laughed at and keeps trying./Blake is creative because he turns blushing into a science experiment... (言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Blake为参加科学展尝试了多次实验，屡屡失败后，他把“脸红”本身做成了实验，最终得到了老师的认可。 【53题详解】 由“He poured salt into a glass of water and dropped in an egg, but it went straight to the bottom.”可知，鸡蛋直接沉到了杯底。 【54题详解】 结合文中内容，Blake一共尝试了鸡蛋悬浮、冒泡实验、胡椒粉实验和脸红实验，共4次。 【55题详解】 由“Still not giving up, Blake tried another experiment the next day”可知Blake坚持不懈；或根据他把脸红做成实验，可知他富有创意。 第四部分 写 (共两大题，满分25分) IX. 单词拼写 (共5 小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56. She decided to h________ (悬挂) the picture on the wall above her bed. 【答案】hang##ang 【解析】 【详解】句意：她决定把这幅画挂在床上方的墙上。根据中文提示和首字母可知，此处使用动词hang，表示“悬挂”，decide to do sth“决定做某事”，所以动词hang用其原形。 57. The children listened with great p________ (耐心) to the old man’s story. 【答案】patience##atience 【解析】 【详解】句意：孩子们耐心地听老人讲故事。结合“with great”可知此处需填入名词形式，“耐心”对应的英文单词是“patience”，不可数名词，无复数形式。 58.

The little boy b________ (表现) well during the whole trip and won praise from everyone. 【答案】behaved##ehaved 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个小男孩在整个旅途中表现很好，赢得了所有人的称赞。 根据首字母b和汉语“表现”，单词为behave； and连接两个并列谓语，后文won是过去式，时态保持一致，空处用过去式。 60. The path through the forest was very n________ (狭窄的), so we had to walk in a single line. 【答案】narrow##arrow 【解析】 【详解】句意：穿过森林的小路很狭窄，所以我们只能排成一列行走。 根据首字母n及汉语“狭窄的”，对应单词narrow； was后接形容词作表语，故填narrow。 X. 书面表达 (共1 小题；满分 20 分) 61. 假如你是李辉，你在学校英语报举办的以“My special food memories”为主题的摄影比赛中获得了一等奖。请你根据以下提示，写一篇发言稿，在英语课上分享这张获奖照片和它背后的故事。 注意： 1. 短文须包含提示中所有要点，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 2. 文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称； 3. 词数80~100 (开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数)。 Dear teacher and classmates, It’s my great honour to share something about the photo in class. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you! 【答案】One possible version: Dear teacher and classmates, It’s my great honour to share something about the photo in class. The dish in the photo is dumplings made by my grandma. Every Lunar New Year’s Eve, our whole family got together to make dumplings.

B In late October 1997, Mike was attacked by a tiger shark near his home on the island of Kauai while surfing with his friends. The shark came right up under him and bit his lower leg. Mike hit the shark in the face, again and again, until the shark let him go. Swimming to the coast, Mike realized his lower right leg was gone. His friends quickly used a belt as a tourniquet (止血带) to help him, which doctors said saved his life. A day later, Mike learned that his leg had to be cut off below the knee. Once Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what might seem impossible: He began riding the waves again, even near the place of the attack. He wondered why it happened. He began to research sharks. While he never knew why he was attacked, Mike did learn something life changing. “Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around,” said Mike. “I learned that people have shark fin (鳍) soup and that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.” His situation allowed him to give sharks a voice. He began working with Hawaii’s government to help stop shark-made products. He worked with other shark attack survivors and went to Washington to ask lawmakers to create a bill to protect sharks. He even spoke at the United Nations about creating safe places for sharks to live. 39. How did Mike’s friends help save his life? A. They hit the shark hard in the face. B. They used a belt to stop bleeding. C. They called doctors from the island. D. They turned a surfboard into a tourniquet. 40. What surprising fact did Mike learn about sharks? A. Humans protect sharks quite well. B. Sharks usually hunt people for food. C. Sharks often attack surfers near beaches. D. Humans kill many sharks every year. 41. What did the underlined words “give sharks a voice” mean in the last paragraph? A. Teach others about shark attacks. B. Speak up to protect sharks. C. Comfort shark attack survivors. D. Record sounds made by sharks. C I am Yu Peixin. When I was 11 or 12 years old, I read Educated: A Memoir by the American writer Tara Westover for the first time. However, I soon became bored. The book tells the story of Westover’s life; she longed for knowledge but was kept out of school by her father. With strong determination (决心), she taught herself and continued to study on her own. At that time, I found the book uninteresting not because her story lacked (缺乏) meaning, but because it was difficult for a young girl to fully understand it. In the end, I stopped reading about halfway through. This year, the book became a required reading in my class. Now that I am 15, reading it again was a completely different experience. This time, I could clearly see the courage behind Westover’s pursuit (追求) of education and the price she paid for her independence. Breaking free from her family’s beliefs was not easy, but she managed to do it and even went on to attend college. I realized that my own education over the years has changed the way I read and understand books. Reading Educated didn’t just teach me about Westover’s journey—it also helped me think about my own. I learned that education is not only a kind of power, but also something that opens up the mind and deepens the heart. 42. Why did Yu Peixin stop reading the book at first? A. Because the writer’s story lacked meaning. B. Because the book was too long for her. C. Because she wanted to study on her own. D. Because she was too young to understand it. 43. What happened when Yu read the book again? A. She got a completely different opinion about travelling. B. She broke free from her family’s beliefs successfully. C. She better understood Westover’s courage and choices. D. She managed to attend college with Westover’s help. 44. What lesson did Yu learn from reading the book? A. Family support is the key to a good education. B. Education shapes minds and deepens feelings. C. Courage always leads people to quick success. D. Reading many books improves writing skills. D Do you ever think about visiting beautiful villages but don’t have the time? Thanks to modern technology, you can now visit them without even leaving your home. The Traditional Chinese Village Digital Museum is a free online museum. People began building this museum in 2017. It has become the world’s largest rural heritage database (乡村遗产数据库). It offers interesting ways to see 6,819 villages across China. With just your phone or computer, you can learn about the beauty and history of thousands of traditional Chinese villages. You can take 360-degree virtual (虚拟的) tours and feel like you’re really walking through the streets. You can look inside traditional houses and imagine the daily lives of people in the past. There are also 3D models of villages, short films and lots of photos showing their history. If you like stories, you can listen to real villagers share their memories of these special places. The online museum also has exhibitions about special buildings, like the tulou, a traditional building in Fujian. If you want to help protect old buildings, you can even “adopt (认领)” them on the website. It’s more than a museum; it’s a journey into China’s living history, packed with culture, art and nature. This museum protects our culture and lets more people know about Chinese traditional villages. 45. How many villages are shown in the Traditional Chinese Village Digital Museum? A. About 300. B. Around 2000. C. Nearly 7000. D. Over 10,000. 46. What can visitors do in the Traditional Chinese Village Digital Museum? A. Take photos with villagers. B. Make 3D models of villages. C. Look inside traditional houses. D. Write stories about villages. 47. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The old buildings. B. The exhibitions. C. The real villagers. D. The 3D models. 48. What is the best title for the text? A. Village photos: Explore the old houses online B. From anywhere to villages: Just one click away C. Tulou buildings: One of the largest rural heritage D. Through 360-degree tours: A walk around cities E Hobbies not only make us happy, but also keep our brains healthy. A Canadian study found that long-term hobbies can improve the brain’s structure (结构). The research studied 58 people who love bird-watching. Half were experts, while the other half were beginners. Both groups included people of different ages, from the 20s to the 70s, and were similar in education. During brain scans (扫描), volunteers saw a bird photo for less than four seconds. Then, they had to pick the bird from four different pictures. This test was done 72 times, with 18 different kinds of birds. The expert group successfully picked out 83 percent of local birds and 61 percent of non-local ones, while the beginners only got 44 percent right for both. The scans also showed differences in brain structure: the areas responsible for attention and working memory are more compact (紧凑的) in the experts, no matter the age. These areas also “lit up” when the experts tried to pick non-local birds—something that did not happen in the beginners’ brains. Creative hobbies, like music and dancing, are also good for the brain. A 2025 study found that the brains of dancers appeared over seven years younger than their actual age. AI models also showed that even short-term creative learning, like 30 hours, can “turn back time” for the brain. “Creativity shapes not only culture but biology,” the scientists wrote on The Conversation. 49.

Creative hobbies bring benefits to human brains. 第二节 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) 。 F Blake loved science. During Super Science Week, he hoped his experiment would be accepted so he could enter the science fair. “I will suspend (使悬浮) an egg in water,” Blake told his class. He poured salt into a glass of water and dropped in an egg, but it went straight to the bottom. “Blake’s blushing (脸红)!” Kate shouted. Blake returned to his seat, covering his face. The next day he tried a new experiment in class, but things quickly went wrong. Bubbles (泡泡) went everywhere and got all over Mrs Watson’s grade book. “Blake’s blushing again!” Perry laughed. Still not giving up, Blake tried another experiment the next day. But as he began to explain it, pepper suddenly flew across the desk. That night he realized something: the only thing he could always do was blush. The next morning he stood in front of the class wearing mouse ears. Everyone laughed as his face turned red. “That’s right. I’m blushing. This is my science experiment,” Blake said. “Mouse ears are your science experiment?” Perry asked. “No. Blushing is!” Blake explained, showing a poster for his experiment, “Charles Darwin called blushing ‘the most human of all expressions’. When people feel shy or uncomfortable, more blood goes to their face, so it turns red.” Mrs Watson smiled and said, “Blake, this will be perfect for the science fair.” Blake walked proudly to his seat. His face was red—but this time he didn’t mind. Science was still his thing. 53. What happened after Blake dropped an egg into a glass of water?
