【解析】
【导语】本文讲述父女驾车途中遭遇暴风雨,女孩想停车,父亲让她坚持前行。驶出风雨后她才明白,不放弃就能走出人生困境,迎来晴朗坦途。
【9题详解】
句意:年轻女士有点害怕,问父亲:“我该怎么办,停车还是继续开?”
遭遇暴雨时,人容易产生恐惧情绪,afraid“害怕的”符合“面对危险的紧张状态”。happy“开心的”、excited“兴奋的”、relaxed“放松的”均不符合“暴雨中的焦虑”。
【10题详解】
句意:年轻女士有点害怕,问父亲:“我该怎么办,停车还是继续开?”
此处与“stop(停车)”形成选择,keep“继续”对应“不停车”的选项,符合“驾驶选择”的语境。finish“完成”、enjoy“享受”、start“开始”均不符合“继续驾驶”的逻辑。
【11题详解】
句意:开了几公里后,暴雨越来越大。
前文提到“驾驶家庭轿车”,driving“驾驶”符合“行驶过程”的描述。running“跑”、walking“走”、riding“骑”均不符合“开车”的动作。
【12题详解】
句意:开了几公里后,暴雨越来越大。
“heavier and heavier”是固定表达,意为“越来越大”,and用于连接重复的比较级,符合“递进”的语法结构。too“也”、also“也”、but“但是”均不适用此搭配。
【13题详解】
句意:年轻女士注意到一些汽车和大型运输卡车正靠边停车。
暴雨中车辆通常会选择靠边避险,pulling over“靠边停车”符合“车辆避险”的常见动作。pushing away“推开”、turning over“翻转”、stopping from“阻止”均不符合“靠边停车”的场景。
【14题详解】
句意:年轻女士再次问父亲他们是否应该停车。
她不确定是否要停车,if“是否”用于引导疑问语气,符合“询问选择”的语境。where“哪里”、when“何时”、why“为什么”均不符合“是否停车”的疑问指向。
【15题详解】
句意:但父亲什么也没说。
根据后文“她不得不继续开”,可知父亲未给出回应,nothing“没有什么”符合“未回应”的状态。anything“任何事”、everything“一切”、something“某事”均不符合“沉默”的逻辑。
【16题详解】
句意:十分钟后,暴雨开始变小,她能看得更清楚一点。
此处描述时间推移后的变化,later“之后”符合“时间顺序”。ago“之前”、before“在……之前”、late“晚的”均不符合“十分钟后的场景”。
【17题详解】
句意:暴雨开始变小,她能看得更清楚一点。
“能看清”说明暴雨强度减弱,smaller“更小的”符合“暴雨减弱”的描述。larger“更大的”、heavier“更重的”、bigger“更大的”均与“减弱”相反。
【18题详解】
句意:而且,太阳出来了,前方的路是干的。
暴雨过后太阳出现,came out“出来”符合“太阳升起”的自然场景。put off“推迟”、gave out“分发”、got up“起床”均不符合“太阳出现”的语境。
【19题详解】
句意:父亲让她停车下车。
“下车”的前提是停车,stop“停车”符合“动作逻辑”。turn“转弯”、go“走”、drive“驾驶”均不符合“下车前的动作”。
【20题详解】
句意:“但为什么现在停,爸爸?”她惊讶地问。
刚驶出暴雨就被要求停车,now“现在”符合“当前时间的疑问”。just“刚刚”、soon“很快”、then“那时”均不符合“此刻”的语境。
【21题详解】
句意:当你下车时,你可以回头看看所有在汽车和大卡车里的人。
“look back at”是固定搭配,意为“回头看”,at用于指向“看的对象”。through“穿过”、for“为了”、up“向上”均不适用此搭配。
【22题详解】
句意:现在,你的暴雨结束了,因为你没有放弃。
“暴雨结束”的原因是“不放弃”,because“因为”用于引导因果关系,符合逻辑。until“直到”、though“尽管”、unless“除非”均不符合“因果”的语境。
【23题详解】
句意:如果你继续前进,很快你的“个人暴雨”就会结束。
文中用“暴雨”隐喻人生中的困难,storms“暴雨”符合“困难象征”的含义。trucks“卡车”、cars“汽车”、roads“道路”均不符合“隐喻”的逻辑。

【24题详解】
句意:在冬季,人们容易患上感冒和流感。此处需要一个副词,在句中修饰动词“get”,表示发生的频率或可能性。因为结合常识,冬季是感冒和流感高发季节,easily“容易地”符合语义。故选easily。
【25题详解】
句意:许多人认为它们(感冒和流感)是一样的,但它们也是有区别的。此处需要一个形容词作表语,在句中表示两者不同。因为前句说“many people think they are the same”,后句用but转折,从方框中选“difference”,但填其形容词形式different。
【26题详解】
句意:你会流鼻涕、喉咙痛、头痛、咳嗽和发烧。此处需要一个形容词作定语修饰“nose”,在句中描述感冒时鼻子的症状。常见表达a running nose“流鼻涕”,方框中“running”可作形容词,意为“流动的”。故选running。

【28题详解】
句意:你的身体会疼痛并变得虚弱。此处需要一个动词原形,在句中与“become weak”并列,描述流感症状。因为流感常伴随肌肉酸痛,hurt“疼痛”符合语境,且will后接动词原形。故选hurt。
【29题详解】
句意:远离患感冒或流感的人可能会有效果。此处需要一个名词,在句中作介词“of”的宾语,表示回避的对象。结合语境,“staying clear of people with colds”意为“避开有感冒的人”,“people”符合语义,方框中的为“People”,此处并非位于句首,故无需大写首字母,应填people。
【30题详解】
句意:如果你接近了某个患感冒的人,尽量不要触摸鼻子或眼睛。此处需要一个不定代词,在句中作介词“to”的宾语,泛指“任何一个生病的人”。因为“close to anyone who has a cold”,“anyone”表示“任何人”。故选anyone。
【31题详解】
句意:勤洗手,尤其是在清理鼻子之后。此处需要一个动名词,在句中作介词“after”的宾语,表示动作。因为“wash your hands”后建议清洁鼻子,“clean your nose”,after后需用动名词,从方框中选择“clean”,但填其动名词cleaning。
【32题详解】
句意:湿着头发出门也会让你感冒!此处需要一个形容词作定语修饰“hair”,在句中描述头发的状态。因为“湿头发容易着凉”,wet“湿的”,符合常识。故选wet。
【33题详解】
句意:这样做会帮助你康复。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作“get”的表语,表示恢复健康。“get well”是固定搭配,意为“痊愈”,“well”作形容词指身体好。故选well。
【34题详解】
句意:不要忘记服用一些药。此处需要一个不定式,在句中作“forget”的宾语。因为“forget to do sth.”表示忘记要做某事,且“take medicine”为固定搭配,所以从方框中选择“take”,但填其不定式to take。

It was a sunny morning in April 2025 at Lakeside Middle School Students were busy with their lessons when a loud alarm suddenly broke the silence. “Fire drill (演习)! Everyone, line up quietly!” Mr Brown, the math teacher, shouted at once.
This was the third fire drill of the year, but students took it seriously. Following the school’s new safety rules in 2025, they covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths—some used handkerchiefs, and others used paper towels (纸巾) from their bags. “Bend down. Keep low to the ground!” Ms Lee reminded her class as they walked through the smoke.
On the stairs, no one pushed or ran. They stayed on the right side, leaving space for possible rescuers. Tom, a 13-year-old in Grade 8, noticed an “injured” classmate lying on the floor—a teacher acted to be hurt. He remembered the first aid training, so he knelt down, checked the “injured” person’s breath, and called for help loudly. Soon, two student volunteers with first-aid boxes arrived to assist.
3 minutes later, all 800 students got together on the playground. The headmaster (校长) counted heads and praised (表扬) everyone, “Great job! This drill helped us practice new steps—using wet cloths, helping others, and staying calm. Real fires are unpredictable (不可预测的), but preparation keeps us safe.”
38. When did the fire drill happen?
A. In March 2025. B. In April 2025. C. In May 2025. D. In June 2025.
39. What did students use to cover their mouths during the drill?
A. Wet cloths. B. Dry towels. C. Masks. D. Gloves.
40. What does the underlined word “assist” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Organize. B. Treat. C. Help. D. Budget.
41. Put the events in correct order according to the passage.
a. Covered mouths. b. A loud alarm rang.
c. Checked the injured person’s breath. d. Got together on the playground.
e. Got praised by the headmaster.
A. a-b-d-c-e B. b-a-c-d-e C. b-c-a-e-d D. b-a-c-e-d
42. What can we learn from the drill?
A. Fire drills are not necessary for students. B. Only teachers need to know safety rules.
C. Real fires are easier to handle than drills. D. Preparation and calmness help in emergencies.
【答案】38. B 39. A 40. C 41. B 42. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了Lakeside中学在2025年4月开展的一次消防演习,记录了演习的过程、学生们的表现以及校长的总结,强调了提前准备和保持冷静在紧急情况中的重要性。

根据第三段“Tom, a 13-year-old in Grade 8, noticed an ‘injured’ classmate lying on the floor—a teacher acted to be hurt. He remembered the first aid training, so he knelt down, checked the ‘injured’ person’s breath, and called for help loudly. Soon, two student volunteers with first-aid boxes arrived to assist.”可知,“assist”意为“帮忙、协助”,与“Help”含义最为接近。
【41题详解】
根据第一段“...a loud alarm suddenly broke the silence.”、第二段“...they covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths...”、第三段“...checked the ‘injured’ person’s breath...”、第四段“3 minutes later, all 800 students got together on the playground.”和“The headmaster (校长) counted heads and praised (表扬) everyone...”可知,正确顺序为b-a-c-d-e。
【42题详解】
根据文章最后校长的总结“Great job! This drill helped us practice new steps—using wet cloths, helping others, and staying calm. Real fires are unpredictable (不可预测的), but preparation keeps us safe.”以及全文可知,提前准备、保持冷静能帮助我们应对紧急情况

Nowadays, more and more teenagers have problems with their mental health. A recent survey shows that about 30% of Grade Eight students feel stressed because of study. Some of them even have sleep problems and don’t want to talk with others.
What causes these problems? First, they have too much homework and too many exams. They have no time for relaxation and exercise. Second, some students don’t know how to get on well with their classmates or family members. Third, many teenagers spend too much time on mobile phones and online games. They don’t have enough sleep and they often feel tired.

Schools and parents also play an important role. Schools should offer more mental health lessons and organize more outdoor activities. Parents should care more about their children’s feelings and not push them too hard in study.

D
When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him do lots of housework such as taking out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.
This is the finding of a 40-year study following the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who worked hard in childhood had a richer and happier future. Children who worked at home in childhood got more abilities and came to feel they were important members of the society, “said Daniel Brown, the psychologist who made the study.” And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.
Brown’s study followed these children in great detail. They made the study about the children at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. The children got more points for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
Working hard at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the underpinnings of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live great in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”
48. What do we know about Justin Tong?
A. He enjoyed a happy life. B. He felt sorry for the other kids.
C. He always sold newspapers. D. He hardly took out the rubbish.
49. Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2?
A. Children who enjoy happier and richer lives.
B. Children who work at home in childhood.
C. Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study.
D. Children who feel good about people around them.
50. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. Responsibility and independence B. Confidence and ability
C. Childhood activities D. Part-time jobs
51. Which best shows the structure of the passage?
A. ①/②③④ B. ①/②/③④ C. ①②③④ D. ①/②③/④
52. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Working is helpful for children’s growth. B. Every child should help work at home.
C. A child should do more and more work. D. How to get on well with others.
【答案】48. A 49. B 50. C 51. A 52. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,通过Justin Tong的童年经历和一项长达40年的研究,论证了童年时期参与家务劳动、兼职工作等对儿童未来发展的重要性,指出这些活动有助于培养责任感、独立性、自信心和能力,从而拥有更幸福健康的成年生活。
【48题详解】
第1段中介绍“When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him do lots of housework... But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.”,这说明Justin Tong长大后过上了更幸福健康的生活,所以选项A“He enjoyed a happy life.”正确。
【49题详解】
第2段中介绍“Children who worked at home in childhood got more abilities and came to feel they were important members of the society... And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.”,这说明童年时期在家劳动的孩子未来更可能成功,所以选项B“Children who work at home in childhood.”正确。
【50题详解】
最后一段中介绍“Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the underpinnings of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must work together...”,这里的“They”指代前句的主语“Childhood activities”,所以选项C“Childhood activities.”正确。
【51题详解】
文章结构:第①段通过Justin Tong的个例引入话题;第②-④段展开论述:第②段介绍研究结论,第③段说明研究方法,第④段总结童年活动的重要性并引用托尔斯泰的话。结构为总分,故①/②③④合理。
【52题详解】
全文围绕“童年时期劳动 (家务、兼职等) 对儿童成长有益”这一核心观点展开,通过研究数据证明其能培养责任感、独立性等能力,所以选项A“Working is helpful for children’s growth.”正确。
B) (每小题2分)
请先阅读下面短文,掌握其大意。然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中,使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。
A survey shows that the number of lonely adults is increasing. According to recent research, loneliness can have harmful effects on health. So if you feel lonely at times, be sure to care about it. Here are some tips for you to avoid being lonely.
Make time to meet people
Maybe it seems that you don’t have time to meet new friends, but you need to consider your social life first. ____53____ You can even offer to take a neighbor’s dog for a walk. The neighbor will surely like to make friends with you.
Build your community online
Without doubt, it’s difficult for you to meet like-minded people. However, the Internet can easily bring people with the same interests together ____54____ Try some safe websites, which list local groups and events, bringing people with common interests together.
Know more about your friends
In order to find possible friends, try to know more about them. What do they like doing? Join one of their activities. What subject are they interested in? ____55____ In this way, you can know each other much better.
Work as volunteers
Volunteering is good for both body and mind. It gives you the chance to communicate with people. Helping at the local food store or in a charity shop will give you a warm feeling and you’ll get to know other volunteers. ____56____
Plan ahead
____57____ Rather than just suggesting meeting together, carry it out with an exact date and a careful plan. If you plan to meet more people, making a survey about the plan ahead of time will make the meeting more successful
A. Find out more about it and discuss it with them.
B. So it is easy to build an online friend community.
C. There are so many ways you can talk face to face now.
D. Everyone’s busy, so getting people together needs a good plan.
E. It’ll also give you something to talk about with friends and family.
F. Instead of checking your phone, go for a walk and chat with someone.
G. If you want to meet someone, just do it!
【答案】53. F 54. B 55. A 56. E 57. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了孤独对健康的危害,并提供了五个避免孤独的建议:腾出时间与人见面、建立线上社区、多了解朋友、参加志愿活动、提前做好聚会计划。这些建议旨在帮助人们主动社交,改善孤独状态。
【53题详解】
空格后“You can even offer to take a neighbor’s dog for a walk”暗示先要有外出与人接触的行为。选项F“Instead of checking your phone, go for a walk and chat with someone”直接给出了具体的行动方式,与后文“遛狗”形成递进关系,并列举例说明如何走出去与人交流。
【54题详解】
空格前“the Internet can easily bring people with the same interests together”指出互联网的优势,空格后建议“尝试一些安全网站”。选项B“So it is easy to build an online friend community”(所以建立线上朋友社区很容易)承接前文,用“so”引出结果,自然过渡到后文的举例(尝试网站)。逻辑连贯,符合因果与递进关系。
【55题详解】
空格前“What subject are they interested in?”直接提出问题,空格后说“这样你们能更好地了解彼此”。选项A“Find out more about it and discuss it with them”是对该问题的合理回应——先了解兴趣内容,再讨论交流,自然引出“彼此更了解”的结果。
【56题详解】
空格前“Helping...will give you a warm feeling and you’ll get to know other volunteers”描述了志愿活动的直接好处。选项E“It’ll also give you something to talk about with friends and family”进一步补充了志愿活动的额外好处——获得社交话题。这既与前半段“与人交流”的主题呼应,又是对“温暖感觉”的延伸,适合作为段落结尾。
【57题详解】
空格后“Rather than just suggesting meeting together, carry it out with an exact date and a careful plan”强调计划的重要性。选项D“Everyone’s busy, so getting people together needs a good plan”解释了为什么需要提前计划——因为大家忙,随意邀约难以成功。这与后文“给出确切日期和详细计划”形成直接的因果关系,逻辑紧密。
五、补全对话(5分)
请先阅读下面对话,根据对话内容选择恰当的句子填入空白处,使对话通顺、合理,意思完整。每空一句。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一场关于课余活动的讨论对话,Grace和Liu Yue围绕看电视、做运动等课余活动展开交流。
【58题详解】
根据下句答语“We often watch TV and play sports.”可知,此处应是询问对方的课余活动,G项“What do you usually do in your free time?”与答语内容直接对应。
【59题详解】
上文提到“watch TV and play sports”,下句开始询问电视节目类型,因此此处需要一句过渡句衔接“看电视”这一话题,A项“That’s relaxing!”是对“watch TV”这一活动的评价,自然引出下文。
【60题详解】
根据下句答语“Because they can learn what’s going on around the world.”可知,此处应是询问喜欢新闻的原因,C项“Why do they like it?”与答语的“Because”相互呼应。
【61题详解】
前文讨论完电视节目,下文开始询问运动项目,因此此处需要过渡句引出“运动”话题,B项“How about sports?”起到话题转换的作用。
【62题详解】
根据上文提到的“Most of us like ball games such as ping-pong.”及下句答语“I think so.”可知,此处应是对球类运动的评价,D项“Ball games are always popular.”承接上文,也能自然引出下文的认同。

It was a sunny morning in April 2025 at Lakeside Middle School Students were busy with their lessons when a loud alarm suddenly broke the silence. “Fire drill (演习)! Everyone, line up quietly!” Mr Brown, the math teacher, shouted at once.
This was the third fire drill of the year, but students took it seriously. Following the school’s new safety rules in 2025, they covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths—some used handkerchiefs, and others used paper towels (纸巾) from their bags. “Bend down. Keep low to the ground!” Ms Lee reminded her class as they walked through the smoke.
On the stairs, no one pushed or ran. They stayed on the right side, leaving space for possible rescuers. Tom, a 13-year-old in Grade 8, noticed an “injured” classmate lying on the floor—a teacher acted to be hurt. He remembered the first aid training, so he knelt down, checked the “injured” person’s breath, and called for help loudly. Soon, two student volunteers with first-aid boxes arrived to assist.
3 minutes later, all 800 students got together on the playground. The headmaster (校长) counted heads and praised (表扬) everyone, “Great job! This drill helped us practice new steps—using wet cloths, helping others, and staying calm. Real fires are unpredictable (不可预测的), but preparation keeps us safe.”

A. In March 2025. B. In April 2025. C. In May 2025. D. In June 2025.

e. Got praised by the headmaster.
A. a-b-d-c-e B. b-a-c-d-e C. b-c-a-e-d D. b-a-c-e-d
42. What can we learn from the drill?
A. Fire drills are not necessary for students. B. Only teachers need to know safety rules.
C. Real fires are easier to handle than drills. D. Preparation and calmness help in emergencies.

Nowadays, more and more teenagers have problems with their mental health. A recent survey shows that about 30% of Grade Eight students feel stressed because of study. Some of them even have sleep problems and don’t want to talk with others.
What causes these problems? First, they have too much homework and too many exams. They have no time for relaxation and exercise. Second, some students don’t know how to get on well with their classmates or family members. Third, many teenagers spend too much time on mobile phones and online games. They don’t have enough sleep and they often feel tired.
How to solve these problems? Here is some advice. First, students should make a plan for study and relaxation. They should finish their homework on time and set aside some time for exercise every day. Second, they should talk with their parents and friends when they feel stressed. Sharing feelings can help them feel better. Third, they should stay away from mobile phones and online games before going to bed. It’s better to read a book or listen to soft music to relax.
Schools and parents also play an important role. Schools should offer more mental health lessons and organize more outdoor activities. Parents should care more about their children’s feelings and not push them too hard in study.
Mental health is as important as physical health. We should pay more attention to it and take action to keep our mental health.
43. What’s the percentage of Grade Eight students who feel stressed because of study?
A. About 10%. B. About 20%. C. About 30%. D. About 40%.

D. How to get on well with others.
D
When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him do lots of housework such as taking out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.
This is the finding of a 40-year study following the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who worked hard in childhood had a richer and happier future. Children who worked at home in childhood got more abilities and came to feel they were important members of the society, “said Daniel Brown, the psychologist who made the study.” And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.
Brown’s study followed these children in great detail. They made the study about the children at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. The children got more points for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
Working hard at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the underpinnings of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live great in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”
