You can use the main A-Z of the dictionary to help you: Choose your words carefully. Many words in English have similar or related meanings, but they are used in different contexts or situations. Look carefully at the example sentences provided in the entries for words you want to use. If you need academic vocabulary, look for the AW symbol. Combine words naturally and effectively. In English, certain pairs of words go together and sound natural to native speakers (for example, heavy rain) — and others do not (strong rain). Information on which words can be paired with one another can be found in the example sentences in the dictionary entries. Become more flexible. Rather than repeating the same word or phrase many times in your work, try to find other ways to express your ideas. Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms(同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb). Edit and check your work. You can use your dictionary to check any problem areas such as spelling, parts of speech, irregular forms, grammar, phrasal verbs, and prepositions. In the following sections you will find examples of essays and practical types of writing that you can use as models for your own work. You will also find advice on planning, organizing and writing each type of text. Contents The writing process WT3 Reporting on data WT25 Answering the question WT7 Writing a report WT28 Writing a comparison essay WT10 Writing a review WT31 Writing an argumentative essay WT13 Discussing pictures and cartoons WT34 Oral presentations WT20 Writing a formal letter WT37 Writing a summary WT23 Writing emails WT40 1. What can you do to reduce repetition in your writing? A. Correct potential problems in advance. B. Use synonyms or explore word families. C. Ensure accurate and natural word pairings. D. Analyze examples of word usage in context. 2. Which page should you refer to if you need to write an essay comparing two things? A. WT7. B. WT10. C. WT23. D. WT25. 3. Where is this text probably taken from ? A. A creative writing magazine. B. A scientific report. C. A dictionary’s writing guide. D. A promotion handbook. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲的是字典在英语写作中的重要作用，以及如何利用字典辅助写作，同时还介绍了相关写作指导内容目录。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms (同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb).(查找“SYN”符号以找到同义词，同时也要研读同义词注释。寻找词族，并尝试使用同一词族中不同词性（例如，不同的“different”（形容词）和“differ”（动词）的单词)”可知，你可以使用同义词或者探索词族来减少文章中的重复内容。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Contents表格内容“Writing a comparison essay  WT10 (撰写一篇对比类议论文（WT10）) ”可知，写一篇对比两样事物的文章需要参考WT10。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Whether you are writing a business email or a long research essay, the dictionary can be a powerful tool to assist you in becoming a better writer in English.(无论您是在撰写商务邮件还是长篇研究论文，词典都可成为帮助您提升英语写作水平的强大工具)”可知，这段文字可能出自一本词典的写作指南。 B Getting all the things ready to make my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of loud beeps (机器鸣叫声) begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My belief is that the alarm, which cannot be stopped, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my weight. The frightening fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps often, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go. It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification (通知) I can find, calendar reminders still get through. So I went online looking for a solution—and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment (约会) I may forget? The results of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk. Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it. 4. How does the author sound in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2? A. Frightened. B. Bored. C. Humorous. D. Friendly. 5. Why are the stove and the phone mentioned in the passage? A. To show that elderly people often have a good memory. B. To prove that modern machines are usually poorly designed. C. To explain how technology is changing seniors’ living habits. D. To give examples of how beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life. 6. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4? A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise. B. He considers the online video unhelpful. C. He worries about life without reminders. D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself. 7. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge? A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Bear the disturbing noise. C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】作者吐槽生活中无处不在的设备提示音，最终决定改造冰箱报警装置。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“My belief is that the alarm, which cannot be stopped, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my weight.(我觉得这个关不掉的警报，就是为了阻止我深夜翻冰箱——我老婆早就警告过我，深夜吃零食对我的体重不好。)”以及第二段的句子“At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go.(一开始，我还以为车是舍不得我走才叫的。)”可知，作者用幽默的语气描述这些提示音，所以听起来很幽默。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification (通知) I can find, calendar reminders still get through.(不仅仅是冰箱和车。一旦我开始留意，就发现我们的环境里到处都是提示音。炉灶也会“唱歌”——忘了关灶眼，它就会自己上演一场小型音乐会。至于我的手机，即使关掉了所有能找到的通知，日历提醒还是会钻出来。)”可知，提到炉灶和手机是为了举例说明日常生活中提示音无处不在，难以避免。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的句子“What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment (约会) I may forget? The results of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.(要是我忘了关冰箱门，把昂贵的烤肉弄坏了怎么办？要是我错过了提醒我约会的通知，而我可能本来就会忘了这个约会怎么办？没有提示音的生活可能会引发太严重的后果，我不敢冒险。)”可知，作者担心没有提示音的生活。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it.(我会把发声装置拆掉，取而代之的是在冰箱门上贴一张便利贴，提醒我关门。)”可知，作者最终决定用便利贴代替冰箱的警报。 C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 8. What does the study encourage children to do? A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays. C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage. 9. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its procedure. B. Its background. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance. 10. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing? A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth. C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination. 11. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best. C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究表明，通过戏剧方式教授莎士比亚作品能提升孩子的读写能力和情感理解力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.(这位来自埃文河畔斯特拉特福德的文法学校男生再次成为头条新闻，此前一项突破性的研究表明，莎士比亚确实有益于儿童的读写能力和情感发展，但前提是他们能把他演出来)”以及第二段中“The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding.(研究发现，以戏剧为基础的莎士比亚教学方法拓宽了孩子们的词汇量，提高了他们的写作质量，增强了他们的情感理解力)”可知，这项研究鼓励孩子们表演莎士比亚的作品。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not.(这项随机试验涉及45所公立小学的数百名五年级学生（9岁和10岁）。孩子们被分为目标组和对照组。两组都阅读了《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中的一段，并被要求以罗密欧的身份写一封信，讲述与朱丽叶分离后的感受。在写作之前，目标组参加了一个30分钟的以戏剧为基础的活动，而对照组没有)”可知，本段介绍了研究的参与对象、分组方式与具体实验步骤，即介绍了研究的过程。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly.(O’Hanlon说，最让她惊讶的是孩子们写作中表现出的情感理解力，他们表现出更深的同理心，更生动地表达情感)”可知，O’Hanlon对目标组写作印象最深刻的是情感深度。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding.(研究发现，以戏剧为基础的莎士比亚教学方法拓宽了孩子们的词汇量，提高了他们的写作质量，增强了他们的情感理解力)”以及倒数第二段中““It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added.(她补充道：“这可能与基于戏剧的过程有关，在这个过程中，你习惯于像角色一样思考和感受。”)”可推知，通过戏剧表演实践学习莎士比亚效果显著，体现“在实践中学习效果最佳”。故选B。 D How is it December already? Where did 2025 go? And how did we suddenly go from eating Easter eggs to putting up Christmas trees? To understand why our feeling of time seems to change, we need to first learn how our brains sense time. The term “time perception (感知)” is actually a bit misleading, because time itself is not something “outside” that we can directly sense. When we see colors, hear sounds, taste flavors or feel touches, special body parts pick up signals from the environment: like light waves entering our eyes, sound waves in our ears, chemicals in food, or the pressure of objects on our skin. But there’s no special part for sensing time—no “time particles (微粒)” that the brain can detect. Our brains don’t feel time directly; they guess it. Just like a clock, the brain judges how much time has passed by following changes. But unlike a clock, it has no regular ticks (滴答声). To guess time, the brain simply counts how many things happen. If you fill your time with interesting activities, it seems to last longer. In experiments, a flashing picture feels longer than a still one of the same time. Brains tell time by tracking changes. This explains why exciting or scary events (like car accidents) make time seem to slow down. In a famous study, people fell backwards into a net from over 30 meters high. When asked how long the experience lasted, they said it was 30% longer than watching others fall. Strong emotions make people pay more attention, so the brain stores more detailed memories. To know why 2025 passed so fast, we need to tell two ways of judging time: looking back (how much time passed) and feeling in the moment (how fast time goes). Waiting at the dentist feels slower than playing with a new toy. The key is what you focus on. The more you pay attention to time itself, the slower it seems to pass. 12. What does the underlined word “detect” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Discover. B. Ignore. C. Doubt. D. Stand. 13. How do our brains judge the passing of time? A. By picking up special “time particles”. B. By following the regular ticks like a clock. C. By sensing the number of things that happen. D. By feeling the pressure from the environment. 14. Why is the famous study mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To show falling from high places is scary. B. To show people often slow time in danger. C. To prove watching others fall takes more time. D. To prove strong emotions slow time perception. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How people make time pass slowly. B. What time perception studies tell us. C. Why our perception of time changes. D. When people sense time going quickly. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要解释了大脑并非直接感知时间，而是通过追踪事件变化来估算，强烈情绪和注意力会改变时间感知，解答了为何我们感觉时间快慢不同。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“But there’s no special part for sensing time—no “time particles (微粒)” that the brain can …. (但并没有专门的部位来感知时间——大脑也无法……到“时间粒子”。)”可知，前文指出人类没有专门感知时间的器官，因此不存在大脑能够发现的 “时间微粒”。故可猜测划线单词detect为“探测、察觉”的意思，和A选项Discover“发现”意思相近。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To guess time, the brain simply counts how many things happen. If you fill your time with interesting activities, it seems to last longer.( 为了猜测时间，大脑只是计算发生了多少事情。如果你把时间填满了有趣的活动，感觉就会更长。)”可知，大脑并非直接感知时间，而是通过统计发生事件的数量来估算时间流逝。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This explains why exciting or scary events (like car accidents) make time seem to slow down. In a famous study, people fell backwards into a net from over 30 meters high. When asked how long the experience lasted, they said it was 30% longer than watching others fall. Strong emotions make people pay more attention, so the brain stores more detailed memories.( 这就解释了为什么令人兴奋或惊险的事件（比如车祸）会让时间感觉变得缓慢。在一项著名的研究中，人们从超过 30 米高的地方向后坠入一张网中。当被问及整个过程持续了多长时间时，他们说比观看他人坠落的经历要长 30%。强烈的情绪会让人更加专注，因此大脑会储存更详细的记忆。)”可推知，该研究是为了证明段落首句的观点：强烈的情绪会让时间感知变慢。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“To understand why our feeling of time seems to change, we need to first learn how our brains sense time.( 要理解为什么我们对时间的感觉会发生变化，我们首先需要了解大脑是如何感知时间的。)”可知，全文围绕“为什么我们对时间的感知会发生变化”展开，依次解释了大脑判断时间的机制、情绪和注意力对时间感知的影响。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是“我们对时间的感知为何会发生变化”。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need. However, most people worldwide still don’t speak English. ____16____ Increasingly, travelers use free translation apps. These apps allow users to speak into their phones and receive spoken translations almost instantly, bridging language gaps effectively. ____17____ Google Translate, a well-known name, often makes mistakes. For instance, translating “my wife is gluten-free (不能吃面筋)” into French or Italian as “my wife is without gluten” misses the intended meaning: However, competitors offer better alternatives. ____18____ It offers no direct translations, but imitates a native speaker’s input. While AI tools make travel easier, some worry they discourage language learning. Douglas Hofstadter, a language expert, argues that relying on machines for communication robs people of meaningful experiences and accomplishments. However, others believe most people don’t need fluency for casual travel. ____19____ As AI translation gains popularity, people may divide into two groups: those eager to learn languages for cultural experience and mental challenge, and those who see it as unnecessary effort. This issue is particularly pressing for English speakers, as many schools in English-speaking countries reduce foreign language programs. ____20____ Direct communication, even if imperfect, brings up deeper connections than relying on technology. A. Yet, these tools aren’t perfect. B. And they prefer the convenience of AI. C. It is a paraphrase rather than a translation. D. Travel has long been a motivator for study. E. Despite this, the social significance of language remains. F. This leads them to rely on gestures, patience, or technology. G. ChatGPT stands out by creating natural-sounding paraphrases. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了AI翻译工具的优缺点。 【16题详解】 前文“When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need. However, most people worldwide still don’t speak English.(旅行时，许多人发现自己在当地语言不熟悉的地方。曾经，旅行者依赖于常用语手册，但英语的传播减少了这种需求。然而，世界上大多数人仍然不会说英语)”提到“旅行时很多人会身处不熟悉当地语言的地方，虽然英语的传播减少了对常用语手册的依赖，但世界上大多数人仍不会说英语”。选项F“This leads them to rely on gestures, patience, or technology.(这导致他们依靠手势、耐心或技术)”中“this”指代前文人们身处陌生语言环境且多数人不会英语的情况，自然地引出后文人们使用免费翻译应用程序这一技术手段来解决问题。故选F。 【17题详解】 前文“Increasingly, travelers use free translation apps. These apps allow users to speak into their phones and receive spoken translations almost instantly, bridging language gaps effectively.(越来越多的旅行者使用免费的翻译软件。这些应用程序允许用户对着手机说话，并几乎立即收到语音翻译，有效地弥合了语言差距)”指出翻译软件的作用，但下文的例子“Google Translate, a well-known name, often makes mistakes.(谷歌翻译，一个众所周知的名字，经常犯错误)”指出“谷歌翻译常出错”，所以，空格处的句子应该是一个转折句，由翻译软件的作用转到其缺点上来，所以，选项A“Yet, these tools aren’t perfect.(然而，这些工具并不完美)”符合语境，“these tools”指代前文的翻译软件，“然而”表示转折，引出后文对谷歌翻译不完美的举例说明。故选A。 【18题详解】 前文“However, competitors offer better alternatives.(然而，竞争对手提供了更好的选择)”提到“谷歌翻译有错误，而其竞争对手提供了更好的选择”，后文“It offers no direct translations, but imitates a native speaker’s input.(它不提供直接翻译，而是模仿母语人士的输入)”描述了该工具“不提供直接翻译，而是模仿母语者的输入”，其中it肯定代指谷歌翻译的某一竞争对手，所以，空格处的句子应该提到谷歌翻译的竞争对手，所以选项G“ChatGPT stands out by creating natural - sounding paraphrases.(ChatGPT通过生成听起来自然的意译脱颖而出)”符合语境。“意译”与后文“模仿母语者输入”相呼应，且“脱颖而出”表明它是谷歌翻译竞争对手中的优秀代表。故选G。 【19题详解】 前文“While AI tools make travel easier, some worry they discourage language learning. Douglas Hofstadter, a language expert, argues that relying on machines for communication robs people of meaningful experiences and accomplishments. However, others believe most people don’t need fluency for casual travel.(虽然人工智能工具让旅行变得更容易，但一些人担心它们会阻碍语言学习。语言专家Douglas Hofstadter认为，依赖机器进行交流剥夺了人们有意义的经历和成就。然而，另一些人认为，大多数人在休闲旅行时不需要流利的英语)”提到“一些人担心人工智能工具会阻碍语言学习，而另一些人认为大多数人在休闲旅行中不需要流利的语言能力”。选项B“And they prefer the convenience of AI.(而且他们更喜欢人工智能的便利)”中“他们”指代前文认为旅行中不需要流利语言能力的人，进一步说明了这些人的态度，即更倾向于使用人工智能翻译工具的便利。故选B。 【20题详解】 前文“This issue is particularly pressing for English speakers, as many schools in English-speaking countries reduce foreign language programs.(这个问题对说英语的人来说尤其紧迫，因为许多英语国家的学校减少了外语课程)”提到“许多英语国家的学校减少了外语课程”，下文“Direct communication, even if imperfect, brings up deeper connections than relying on technology.(直接交流，即使不完美，也比依赖技术带来更深层次的联系)”强调“直接交流，即使不完美，也比依赖技术能带来更深入的联系”。所以，空格处的句子应该是转折句，同时指出“语言的交流作用”，所以选项E“Despite this, the social significance of language remains.(尽管如此，语言的社会意义仍然存在)”符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, my grandfather suggested I spend a week with him, helping to restore an old community garden.

Since自从。根据下文“the physical labor was tough”和“the mental barrier was higher”可知，两者之间是转折关系，用“虽然”连接。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：我必须不断地与脑海中那个告诉我我做不到的声音作斗争。A. take拿；B. make做；C. get得到；D. try尝试。根据上文“fight the voice in my head (与脑海中的声音作斗争)”可知，那个声音告诉作者“做不到”。make it为固定搭配，意为“成功做到”。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：爷爷注意到了我的挣扎。A. struggle挣扎；B. pain痛苦；C. willingness意愿；D. puzzle困惑。根据上文“I had to constantly fight the voice in my head telling me I couldn’t 　　 it.”和下文爷爷的建议可知，爷爷注意到了作者的“挣扎”。 【28题详解】 考查副词。句意：“不要关注整个花园，”他温柔地建议道。A. angrily生气地；B. proudly骄傲地；C. gently温柔地；D. nervously紧张地。根据上文“advised”和作者与爷爷的关系可知，爷爷“温柔地”建议作者。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：我不再看着看似不可能完成的任务，而是专注于一平方米的土地。A. tried尝试；B. stopped停止；C. continued继续；D. kept保持。根据下文“concentrated on one square meter of soil”可知，作者“停止”关注整个任务，而是专注于一平方米的土地。 【30题详解】 考查副词。句意：之后，我逐渐取得了进步。A. possibly可能地；B. suddenly突然地；C. hardly几乎不；D. gradually逐渐地。根据上文“concentrated on one square meter of soil”可知，作者专注于一平方米的土地，肯定会“逐渐”取得了进步。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：这吸引了几名志愿者，他们带来了新的活力和工具。A. tools工具；B. complaints抱怨；C. money钱；D. excuses借口。根据上文“our project”可知，志愿者带来了“工具”帮助完成项目。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：到周末，变化是显而易见的。A. impossible不可能的；B. noticeable明显的；C. similar相似的；D. acceptable可接受的。根据下文“Neat rows of new seedlings stood where weeds once ruled”可知，整齐的新苗在曾经杂草丛生的地方生长，所以变化是“显而易见的”。 【33题详解】 考查介词。句意：这次经历告诉我，勇气不是没有恐惧，而是尽管有恐惧仍决定行动。A. from从；B. as作为；C. despite尽管；D. like像。根据上文“courage isn’t the absence of fear”和“the decision to act”可知，两者之间是让步转折关系，用“尽管”连接。 【34题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：真正的力量来自走出你的舒适区并相信这个过程。A. stepping out of走出；B. looking for寻找；C. holding onto坚持；D. thinking about思考。根据上文作者的经历和“This experience taught me that courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the decision to act 　　 it.”可知，真正的力量来自“走出”舒适区。 【点睛】考查动词。句意：我们都拥有内在的力量；我们只需要迈出第一步去发现它。A. hide隐藏；B. doubt怀疑；C. discover发现；D. forget忘记。根据上文“take that first step”可知，我们需要迈出第一步去“发现”内在的力量。 第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号单词的正确形式。 Hutongs in Beijing are narrow streets formed by lines of “siheyuan”, traditional Chinese courtyard residences.

Different from the above two hutongs, Gongmenkou Ertiao is much ____44____(short), but it is where Lu Xun Museum _____45_____(locate). It is also filled with history, culture and innovations. 【答案】36. protected 37. to 38. the 39. were 40. which 41. its 42. cultural 43. playing 44. shorter 45. is located 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了北京传统胡同的三个代表。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：北京西城区有三条受保护的胡同。分析句意可知，动词protect“保护”在句中作定语修饰名词hutongs“胡同”，且二者构成动宾关系，故使用过去分词形式，protected“被保护的”作定语。故填protected。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：这座1500米长的东郊民巷是三座民巷中最长的一座，这里有几家高档餐厅和豪华商店，也有一些廉价的餐饮场所和普通商店。分析句意可知，此句包含介词短语be home to“是……的家园”。故填to。 【38题详解】 考查冠词。句意：但最重要的景点是一些保存完好的西式建筑，它们曾是一些外国官员的家。分析句意可知，空格后有形容词最高级most important“最重要的”，而形容词最高级前往往需要加定冠词。故填the。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态语态。句意：但最重要的景点是一些保存完好的西式建筑，它们曾是一些外国官员的家。分析句意可知，be在句中为定语从句的系动词，要根据主语，即先行词buildings“建筑”使用复数形式；时间状语once“曾经”表明应该使用一般过去时。故填were。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：长496米的杨梅竹西街是其中第二长的，最初以拥有600年历史的建筑而闻名。分析句意可知，空格处需要填写关系代词引导非限定性定语从句，修饰表物的先行词Yangmeizhu West Street“杨梅竹西街”，且在从句中作主语。故填which。 【41题详解】 考查代词。句意：长496米的杨梅竹西街是其中第二长的，最初以拥有600年历史的建筑而闻名。分析句意可知，代词it“它”在句中作定语，修饰名词短语600-year-old architecture“600年历史的建筑”，因此需要使用形容词性物主代词its“它的”。故填its。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它还吸引了几位文化人物的游客，如20世纪末的中国作家和学者沈从文。分析句意可知，名词culture“文化”在句中作定语修饰名词figures“人物”，因此需要使用形容词形式cultural“文化的”。故填cultural。 【43题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：沿着胡同走下去，你会看到北京本地人在下棋，或者谈论他们自己对艺术和生活的看法。分析句意可知，动词play“玩”在句中作宾语locals“当地人”的补足语，且二者构成主谓关系，故使用现在分词表示主动伴随关系，构成see sb. doing sth.“看到某人正在做某事”。故填playing。 【44题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：与上述两条胡同不同，宫门口二条要短得多，但它是鲁迅博物馆所在地。分析句意可知，形容词short“短的”在句中作表语，但表示和其他两个胡同对比，相对而言短一些，故应该使用比较级。故填shorter。 【45题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：与上述两条胡同不同，宫门口二条要短得多，但它是鲁迅博物馆所在地。分析句意可知，动词locate“位于”在谓语，且与主语Lu Xun Museum“鲁迅博物馆”构成动宾关系，因为这件事是一般事实，故使用一般现在时被动语态。故填is located。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校部分学生常以各种理由请假，不参加课间跑活动。为此，请写一篇短文向校英文报投稿，内容包括： （1）陈述现象； （2）提出劝告和建议。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80左右； （2）可适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Show up for Inter-class Running ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Show up for Inter-class Running Lately, I’ve noticed more students skipping our daily inter-class run.

They went to the same school, played on the same soccer team, and even wore matching bracelets (手链). Everyone around them said they were like two sides of the same coin. They believed nothing could come between them. But things started to change when a new girl Daisy came to their class. One day, their teacher, Mr. Lynn, announced a big group project. “Pick a partner,” he said. Emily immediately turned to Zoe, expecting her usual smile and a quick “yes.” But to her surprise. Zoe was already talking to Daisy. “I’m going to work with Daisy this time,” Zoe said to Emily, almost too casually. Emily felt like the air had been knocked out of her. She nodded and forced a smile, but inside, she was confused and hurt. That night, she stared at her phone screen, hoping for a message that never came. Over the next few days, she avoided Zoe. Their texts stopped, they no longer sat together during lunch, and the bracelets they once wore daily were now left at home. Even during class, Emily found it hard to focus, her mind replaying the moment when Zoe chose someone else. Weeks passed. The school organized a three-day camping trip in the mountains. Students were divided into several groups. Emily and Zoe ended up in the same one, along with Daisy and two other classmates. Though they barely spoke, they worked together to put up tents and gather firewood. Their conversations were limited to short, polite exchanges — nothing like before. On the second night, dark clouds rolled in and heavy rain soon followed. Everyone rushed into their own tents. Emily quickly discovered that hers was leaking. Cold and upset, she went outside, seeking for help. The wind howled around her, and each raindrop felt like a tiny needle against her skin. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, she saw a flashlight approaching. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Zoe’s help, they soon fixed the tent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just then, she saw a flashlight approaching. In the dim light, Emily recognized it was nobody else but Zoe. Her face was filled with concern when she saw Emily struggling in the cold. “I thought you might need help,” Zoe said softly. Emily’s eyes widened with a mix of surprise and relief. Without a word, Zoe stepped forward and examined the tent. She explained that she could fix it with the spare raincoat she had brought. As they worked together, the awkwardness gradually melted away. Emily realized that Zoe still cared and the rain seemed to have washed away the misunderstandings between them. With Zoe’s help, they soon fixed the tent. Back inside the tent, Emily took a deep breath and said, “I was so hurt when you chose Daisy for the project.” Zoe looked at her apologetically and replied, “I’m sorry. I just thought it would be better to include the new comer, but I never meant to hurt you.” That night, they had an open-hearted conversation, clearing up all the confusion. Until then did they realize that friends need open communication and their bond became even stronger. From then on, they wore their matching bracelets again, a symbol of their unbreakable friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以友谊为线索展开，讲述Emily和Zoe原本是好友，新同学Daisy到来后，Zoe与她交好，Emily心灵受伤，学校露营时，她们分到同一个组，Emily帐篷漏水。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，她看到一个手电筒正在靠近。”可知，第一段可描写来的是Zoe，Zoe主动帮忙修理帐篷，两人之间的尴尬逐渐消除。 ②由第二段首句内容“在Zoe的帮助下，她们很快修好了帐篷。”可知，第二段可描写两人在帐篷里敞开心扉交流，消除误会，友谊更加坚固。 2. 续写线索： Zoe前来帮忙——一起修理帐篷——消除尴尬——敞开心扉交流——友谊更坚固 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①认出：recognize/identify ②解释：explain/expound ③选择：choose/select 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②尴尬：awkwardness/embarrassment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her face was filled with concern when she saw Emily struggling in the cold.

You can use the main A-Z of the dictionary to help you: Choose your words carefully. Many words in English have similar or related meanings, but they are used in different contexts or situations. Look carefully at the example sentences provided in the entries for words you want to use. If you need academic vocabulary, look for the AW symbol. Combine words naturally and effectively. In English, certain pairs of words go together and sound natural to native speakers (for example, heavy rain) — and others do not (strong rain). Information on which words can be paired with one another can be found in the example sentences in the dictionary entries. Become more flexible. Rather than repeating the same word or phrase many times in your work, try to find other ways to express your ideas. Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms(同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb). Edit and check your work. You can use your dictionary to check any problem areas such as spelling, parts of speech, irregular forms, grammar, phrasal verbs, and prepositions. In the following sections you will find examples of essays and practical types of writing that you can use as models for your own work. You will also find advice on planning, organizing and writing each type of text. Contents The writing process WT3 Reporting on data WT25 Answering the question WT7 Writing a report WT28 Writing a comparison essay WT10 Writing a review WT31 Writing an argumentative essay WT13 Discussing pictures and cartoons WT34 Oral presentations WT20 Writing a formal letter WT37 Writing a summary WT23 Writing emails WT40 1. What can you do to reduce repetition in your writing? A. Correct potential problems in advance. B. Use synonyms or explore word families. C. Ensure accurate and natural word pairings. D. Analyze examples of word usage in context. 2. Which page should you refer to if you need to write an essay comparing two things? A. WT7. B. WT10. C. WT23. D. WT25. 3. Where is this text probably taken from ? A. A creative writing magazine. B. A scientific report. C. A dictionary’s writing guide. D. A promotion handbook. B Getting all the things ready to make my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of loud beeps (机器鸣叫声) begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My belief is that the alarm, which cannot be stopped, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my weight. The frightening fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps often, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go. It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification (通知) I can find, calendar reminders still get through. So I went online looking for a solution—and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment (约会) I may forget? The results of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk. Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it. 4. How does the author sound in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2? A. Frightened. B. Bored. C. Humorous. D. Friendly. 5. Why are the stove and the phone mentioned in the passage? A. To show that elderly people often have a good memory. B. To prove that modern machines are usually poorly designed. C. To explain how technology is changing seniors’ living habits. D. To give examples of how beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life. 6. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4? A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise. B. He considers the online video unhelpful. C. He worries about life without reminders. D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself. 7. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge? A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Bear the disturbing noise. C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note. C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 8. What does the study encourage children to do? A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays. C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage. 9. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its procedure. B. Its background. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance. 10. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing? A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth. C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination. 11. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best. C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind. D How is it December already? Where did 2025 go? And how did we suddenly go from eating Easter eggs to putting up Christmas trees? To understand why our feeling of time seems to change, we need to first learn how our brains sense time. The term “time perception (感知)” is actually a bit misleading, because time itself is not something “outside” that we can directly sense. When we see colors, hear sounds, taste flavors or feel touches, special body parts pick up signals from the environment: like light waves entering our eyes, sound waves in our ears, chemicals in food, or the pressure of objects on our skin. But there’s no special part for sensing time—no “time particles (微粒)” that the brain can detect. Our brains don’t feel time directly; they guess it. Just like a clock, the brain judges how much time has passed by following changes. But unlike a clock, it has no regular ticks (滴答声). To guess time, the brain simply counts how many things happen. If you fill your time with interesting activities, it seems to last longer. In experiments, a flashing picture feels longer than a still one of the same time. Brains tell time by tracking changes. This explains why exciting or scary events (like car accidents) make time seem to slow down. In a famous study, people fell backwards into a net from over 30 meters high. When asked how long the experience lasted, they said it was 30% longer than watching others fall. Strong emotions make people pay more attention, so the brain stores more detailed memories. To know why 2025 passed so fast, we need to tell two ways of judging time: looking back (how much time passed) and feeling in the moment (how fast time goes). Waiting at the dentist feels slower than playing with a new toy. The key is what you focus on. The more you pay attention to time itself, the slower it seems to pass. 12. What does the underlined word “detect” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Discover. B. Ignore. C. Doubt. D. Stand. 13. How do our brains judge the passing of time? A. By picking up special “time particles”. B. By following the regular ticks like a clock. C. By sensing the number of things that happen. D. By feeling the pressure from the environment. 14. Why is the famous study mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To show falling from high places is scary. B. To show people often slow time in danger. C. To prove watching others fall takes more time. D. To prove strong emotions slow time perception. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How people make time pass slowly. B. What time perception studies tell us. C. Why our perception of time changes. D. When people sense time going quickly. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need. However, most people worldwide still don’t speak English. ____16____ Increasingly, travelers use free translation apps. These apps allow users to speak into their phones and receive spoken translations almost instantly, bridging language gaps effectively. ____17____ Google Translate, a well-known name, often makes mistakes.

They went to the same school, played on the same soccer team, and even wore matching bracelets (手链). Everyone around them said they were like two sides of the same coin. They believed nothing could come between them. But things started to change when a new girl Daisy came to their class. One day, their teacher, Mr. Lynn, announced a big group project. “Pick a partner,” he said. Emily immediately turned to Zoe, expecting her usual smile and a quick “yes.” But to her surprise. Zoe was already talking to Daisy. “I’m going to work with Daisy this time,” Zoe said to Emily, almost too casually. Emily felt like the air had been knocked out of her. She nodded and forced a smile, but inside, she was confused and hurt. That night, she stared at her phone screen, hoping for a message that never came. Over the next few days, she avoided Zoe. Their texts stopped, they no longer sat together during lunch, and the bracelets they once wore daily were now left at home. Even during class, Emily found it hard to focus, her mind replaying the moment when Zoe chose someone else. Weeks passed. The school organized a three-day camping trip in the mountains. Students were divided into several groups. Emily and Zoe ended up in the same one, along with Daisy and two other classmates. Though they barely spoke, they worked together to put up tents and gather firewood. Their conversations were limited to short, polite exchanges — nothing like before. On the second night, dark clouds rolled in and heavy rain soon followed. Everyone rushed into their own tents. Emily quickly discovered that hers was leaking. Cold and upset, she went outside, seeking for help. The wind howled around her, and each raindrop felt like a tiny needle against her skin. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, she saw a flashlight approaching. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Zoe’s help, they soon fixed the tent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
