A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了电影《水饺皇后》的原型人物臧健和的故事，她在生活困难时靠卖水饺起家，最终成为“水饺皇后”。 【1题详解】 句意：它讲述了一个真实而鼓舞人心的故事，会触动你的心。 根据下文臧健和从困境中成功的故事，可知是“鼓舞人心的”，inspiring“鼓舞人心的”符合。exciting“令人兴奋的”、interesting“有趣的”、unexpected“意外的”与感人励志的主题不符。 【2题详解】 句意：在20世纪70年代末，她的生活很艰难。 上文提到故事会触动人心，下文她独自带着女儿到香港，丈夫离开，可知生活“艰难”，tough“艰难的”符合。easy“容易的”、smooth“顺利的”、boring“无聊的”与困境不符。 【3题详解】 句意：她的婚姻破裂了。 下文她的丈夫离开了她，说明“婚姻”破裂，marriage“婚姻”符合。business“生意”、situation“情况”、position“位置”与丈夫离开不符。 【4题详解】 句意：早已身在香港的丈夫抛弃了她，而她不得不独自照顾自己的孩子。 上文丈夫离开，她独自带着女儿，说明她需要“照顾”孩子，look after“照顾”符合。look for“寻找”、take after“像”、take care也有照顾之意，但take care of才是完整短语。根据选项，look after符合。 【5题详解】 句意：她记得家传包饺子手艺。 下文她开始卖水饺谋生，说明她记得制作水饺的“手艺”，skills“技能”符合。tradition“传统”、habit“习惯”、ability“能力”中skills最贴合制作水饺的手艺。 【6题详解】 句意：起初，这极其艰难。 上文她摆摊卖水饺，天气不好、工作久和有人欺负，说明“极其”艰难，extremely“极其地”符合。formally“正式地”、normally“正常地”、simply“简单地”与困难程度不符。 【7题详解】 句意：但她是一个意志坚强的女人。 上文她面对恶劣天气和坏人欺负仍坚持工作，说明她“意志坚强的”，strong-willed“意志坚强的”符合。warm-hearted“热心的”、hard-working“勤奋的”、self-controlled“自制力强的”虽语法也正确，但strong-willed更侧重逆境不屈。 【8题详解】 句意：越来越多的顾客来买她的水饺。 上文她的水饺好吃，下文生意做大，说明“顾客”越来越多，customers“顾客”符合。tourists“游客”、audiences“观众”、citizens“市民”与水饺买卖不符。 【9题详解】 句意：最终，通过不懈的努力，她白手起家、做大产业，成为了家喻户晓的“水饺皇后”。 上文她努力工作，生意做大，说明通过“努力”，efforts“努力”符合。effects“效果”、results“结果”、achievements“成就”与持续奋斗的过程不符。 【10题详解】 句意：无论生活多么艰难，只要我们勇敢并不断尝试，就能实现梦想。 根据上文臧健和的故事，以及“we are brave and keep trying”，应用as long as“只要”引导条件状语从句。as soon as“一……就”、even if“即使”、as well as“也”均与条件逻辑不符。 II. 阅读理解 (40分) 第一节 阅读短文 (共15小题，每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) A Over one hundred years ago, there lived a man named Phileas Fogg.

The rats have learned to recognize the smell of these products and can point them out. The program is still being tested. It’s really hard to stop the smuggling of wildlife products because smugglers are clever at hiding what they transport. Products can be hidden in secret places or covered with strong smells like coffee. Many of the countries where these animal products come from are so poor that they don’t have enough methods to catch smugglers. The organization APOPO started the program. It believes that African giant pouched rats* might offer help. They’re the world’s largest rats, up to one metre long and weighing about 1.4 kilograms. They have a strong sense of smell and have been used before to sense diseases and help search for people after earthquakes. Trainers use food as a reward. First, rats learn to put their noses into holes. Then, they are taught to notice certain smells and pay no attention to other smells. While working, the rats wear special vests (背心). If they find something, they pull a ball to make a sound and let their trainers know. In the past tests, eight rats successfully learned to identify smuggled animal products among 146 different smells. They could remember these smells for several months. Last year, during a test in Dar es Salaam, the rats found over 83% of the smuggled products, even when people tried to cover up their smells. These skilled rats will become important helpers in stopping the smuggling of wildlife products, helping protect endangered animals. * African giant pouched rats非洲巨颊囊鼠 21. What makes it difficult to stop the smuggling of wildlife products? ①There is a great need for wildlife products. ②Countries can’t work together on the problem. ③Smugglers can hide the products very well. ④Some countries lack enough money to stop smugglers. A. ①③ B. ②④ C. ①② D. ③④ 22. Why were African giant pouched rats chosen for the program? A. They are very large. B. They have a strong sense of smell. C. They mainly live in Africa. D. They are used to working with humans. 23. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. What tools help rats do their jobs. B. How trainers teach rats to use the vests. C. How rats are trained to recognize smells. D. What rewards encourage rats to learn skills. 24. Why does the writer mention the test in Dar es Salaam? A. To show rats can do the job well. B. To compare rats with other animals. C. To explain some surprising findings. D. To show the challenges of the work. 25. What is the passage mainly about? A. A study on how animals are used in experiments. B. The problems of protecting wildlife worldwide. C. The special abilities of African giant pouched rats. D. A new method of identifying smuggled wildlife products. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 24. A 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍坦桑尼亚科学家训练非洲巨颊囊鼠识别走私野生动物制品，说明其训练方法、测试效果及对保护濒危动物的作用。 【21题详解】 第二段说明：“It’s really hard to stop the smuggling of wildlife products because smugglers are clever at hiding what they transport”和“Many of the countries where these animal products come from are so poor that they don’t have enough methods to catch smugglers”，表明走私者善于隐藏货物，且部分国家缺乏足够方法抓捕走私者，对应③④；①②文中均未提及。 【22题详解】 第三段介绍：“They have a strong sense of smell and have been used before to sense diseases and help search for people after earthquakes”，说明非洲巨颊囊鼠嗅觉灵敏，且有过类似工作经验，这是被选中的核心原因。 【23题详解】 第四段介绍：“Trainers use food as a reward. First... Then...”，这段话按步骤说明训练师如何通过奖励，教老鼠识别特定气味、忽略其他气味并发出发现信号，核心是训练方法。 【24题详解】 第五段说明：“Last year, during a test in Dar es Salaam, the rats found over 83% of the smuggled products, even when people tried to cover up their smells”，用具体测试数据，说明老鼠能很好地完成识别走私品的工作。 【25题详解】 通读全文可知，第一段点明科学家训练老鼠识别走私野生动物制品，后文依次介绍背景、原因、训练方法、测试效果及意义，核心是这种新的识别方法。 第二节 短文填空 (共5小题，每小题2’分，满分10分) 阅读全文，并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Stronger together It is a poster for Flow. The movie Flow tells a silent story of animal survival. How do you survive the end of the world? Gints Zilbalodis, a Latvian filmmaker, offers a kind answer to this question in his new movie Flow. The animated movie (动画电影) came out on Feb 28 on the Chinese mainland. ____26____ It follows the journey of a cat who must find safety after its home is destroyed by a flood. As floodwater rises higher and covers the land, a boat appears. ____27____ To its surprise, a capybara (水豚) is already on the boat. The two later pick up other animals in need of help—a lemur (狐猴), a dog and a bird. Without any humans or dialogue, the movie tells a simple but interesting story, said The New York Times. ____28____ Instead, they communicate through meows and woofs as animals do. “Zilbalodis pays these animals the respect of watching them closely,” said NPR. He carefully shows the cat’s yawns and the movement of the lemur’s long tail. ____29____ The cat, for example, is clever, brave and kind, while the lemur is greedy (贪婪的) and loves collecting shiny things. As the animals continue their journey on the water, they learn the importance of trust and working together. The cat shares food with others and the dog starts looking out for everyone’s safety. ____30____ It’s a story about “learning to adapt to (适应) life’s ever-changing flow, no matter how bad things may sometimes get,” said NPR.

The phrase “miss the boat” literally (字面上) means “not catch the boat”. However, what it really means is “missing a good chance”. B. Water off a duck’s back. Ducks have only feathers and water can’t get through them, so water runs off their backs. Then when others’ words have no influence on you, it is like water off a duck’s back. C.

The sentence “Someone is long in the tooth to do something” means that someone is too old to do something. D. Rome was not built in a day.

When 42. is offered 43. your 44. senses 45. gently 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了云南过桥米线的历史与吃法。 【36题详解】 句意：在众多菜肴中，过桥米线近年来在全国范围内广受欢迎。根据“in recent years”可知，句子时态要用现在完成时，主语Guogiaomixian是单数，所以助动词用has，动词become用过去分词become。故填has become。 【37题详解】 句意：在古代，一个年轻人在湖边的一个小岛上准备一场重要的考试。important是以元音音素开头的单词，这里表示“一次重要的考试”，要用不定冠词an。故填an。 【38题详解】 句意：但当食物送到他手里时，总是变得又冷又不够美味。“not...enough”表示“不够……”中间需要一个形容词作表语，taste的形容词是tasty。故填tasty。 【39题详解】 句意：有些会变得太软而不能吃，尤其是米粉。too…to...是固定结构，表示“太……而不能……”，这里说食物太软而不能吃，所以用eat的动词不定式to eat。故填to eat。 【40题详解】 句意：她把滚烫的汤倒进一个锅里，锅上涂了一层油来保温，同时把米粉、肉和新鲜蔬菜分开存放。be covered with是固定短语，意为“被……覆盖”，这里说在锅上覆盖一层油，用with。故填with。 【41题详解】 句意：当她到达时，她把它们混合在一起。根据“she arrived,”可知，这里表示“当她到达时”，用连词When引导时间状语从句。故填When。 【42题详解】 句意：汤的温度接近沸腾 (85-90℃)。The soup和offer之间是被动关系，即“汤被提供”，且句子描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时的被动语态，结构是“be+过去分词”，主语soup是单数，offer的过去分词为offered，所以用is offered。故填is offered。 【43题详解】 句意：把你最喜欢的东西放进汤里，让它们炖，最后把所有东西都和米粉混合在一起。Drop是动词，后面需要一个形容词性物主代词来修饰名词，you的形容词性物主代词是your。故填your。 【44题详解】 句意：当你尝试它时，用你所有的感官：闻一闻浓汤的味道，听到食材碰到热汤时发出的“嘶嘶声”，尝一尝用新鲜蔬菜做成的光滑面条。all表示“所有的”后面接可数名词复数，sense的复数是senses。故填senses。 【45题详解】 句意：记住：轻轻地吹——上面的油让汤很烫！blow是动词，需要用副词来修饰，gentle的副词是gently。故填gently。 IV. 书面表达 (15分) 46. 为弘扬中华传统文化，你校上周举办了“传统遇见科技”主题活动。请你根据以下要点提示，写一篇英语短文，介绍活动并谈谈你的感受。 要点提示： 1. 活动目的：让学生感受传统文化与现代技术结合的魅力 2. 活动内容： 1) VR体验兵马俑，了解古代历史；2) 直播剪纸教学，线上线下互动；3) AI作诗，用科技创作古诗； 3. 你的感受与倡议 注意事项： 1. 要点齐全，可适当发挥； 2. 不得出现真实姓名和校名； 3. 条理清晰，语句通顺，书写规范； 4. 词数90词左右 (开头不计入总词数)。 参考词汇：the Terracotta Warriors兵马俑；a live stream直播；online viewers线上观众；charm魅力 Last Thursday, our school held a special event called “Tradition Meets Technology”. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 Last Thursday, our school held a special event called “Tradition Meets Technology”.

The rats have learned to recognize the smell of these products and can point them out. The program is still being tested. It’s really hard to stop the smuggling of wildlife products because smugglers are clever at hiding what they transport. Products can be hidden in secret places or covered with strong smells like coffee. Many of the countries where these animal products come from are so poor that they don’t have enough methods to catch smugglers. The organization APOPO started the program. It believes that African giant pouched rats* might offer help. They’re the world’s largest rats, up to one metre long and weighing about 1.4 kilograms. They have a strong sense of smell and have been used before to sense diseases and help search for people after earthquakes. Trainers use food as a reward. First, rats learn to put their noses into holes. Then, they are taught to notice certain smells and pay no attention to other smells. While working, the rats wear special vests (背心). If they find something, they pull a ball to make a sound and let their trainers know. In the past tests, eight rats successfully learned to identify smuggled animal products among 146 different smells. They could remember these smells for several months. Last year, during a test in Dar es Salaam, the rats found over 83% of the smuggled products, even when people tried to cover up their smells. These skilled rats will become important helpers in stopping the smuggling of wildlife products, helping protect endangered animals. * African giant pouched rats非洲巨颊囊鼠 21. What makes it difficult to stop the smuggling of wildlife products? ①There is a great need for wildlife products. ②Countries can’t work together on the problem. ③Smugglers can hide the products very well. ④Some countries lack enough money to stop smugglers.

They are used to working with humans. 23. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. What tools help rats do their jobs. B. How trainers teach rats to use the vests. C. How rats are trained to recognize smells. D. What rewards encourage rats to learn skills. 24. Why does the writer mention the test in Dar es Salaam? A. To show rats can do the job well. B.
