This is where you can explore unknown and the most interesting facts about our living planet, the universe, and people’s lifestyles. Here are some top unmissable festivals from around the world.
Rio Carnival, Brazil
It is a five-day festival which takes place forty days before Easter. Rio de Janeiro has earned its title as the Carnival capital of the world with its famous samba dancing, colourful eye-catching clothes and live music.
Holi Festival, India
Holi is a Hindu spring festival, also known as the “festival of colours”. It is a sign of the victory of good over evil, the end of winter, and the arrival of spring. Starting with a nighttime bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, Holi is celebrated the next day by people throwing coloured powder and water at each other.
St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland
Held on March 17 every year, it is a celebration to mark the death of Ireland’s patron saint (守护神) Saint Patrick. Since 1996, an entire festival of parades, fireworks as well as food and drinks has surrounded the celebration. Enjoy traditional songs and dances, watch musical street theatre shows and get dressed in all green as you celebrate Irish heritage (遗产) and culture.
Burning Man Festival, United States
As a week-long event at the end of August in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, it attracts tens of thousands of people from all over the world each year. Tickets to Burning Man are not cheap. But once you’re there, you will surely have an unforgettable experience. The main event is burning a large wooden statue (雕像) on Saturday night, followed by a big dance party that lasts all night long.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland部分中“Enjoy traditional songs and dances, watch musical street theatre shows and get dressed in all green as you celebrate Irish heritage (遗产) and culture. (欣赏传统歌曲和舞蹈,观看音乐街头戏剧表演,并穿上全绿色的衣服来庆祝爱尔兰遗产和文化。)”可知,圣帕特里克节的活动包括传统歌舞、街头戏剧表演和穿绿色衣服,文中未提及传统艺术展。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Rio Carnival, Brazil部分中“It is a five-day festival (这是一个为期五天的节日)”可知,里约狂欢节持续5天;根据Holi Festival, India部分中“Starting with a nighttime bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, Holi is celebrated the next day by people throwing coloured powder and water at each other. (洒红节以一个夜间篝火活动开始,人们聚集在一起唱歌跳舞;第二天,人们通过互相抛洒彩色粉末和泼水来庆祝。)”可知,洒红节持续2天;根据St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland部分中“Held on March 17 every year (每年3月17日举行)”可知,圣帕特里克节持续1天;根据Burning Man Festival, United States部分中“As a week-long event (作为一个为期一周的活动)”可知,火人节持续7天。因此火人节持续时间最长。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Rio Carnival, Brazil部分中“its famous samba dancing (其著名的桑巴舞)”、Holi Festival, India部分中“people gather, sing and dance (人们聚集、唱歌和跳舞)”、St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland部分中“Enjoy traditional songs and dances (欣赏传统歌曲和舞蹈)”、Burning Man Festival, United States部分中“followed by a big dance party that lasts all night long (随后是一场持续整晚的大型舞会)”可知,跳舞是这些节日共同的庆祝方式。
B
Quietly siting there reading, I found myself suddenly listening to the train guard’s announcement. Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether it’s the recorded message or the guard’s message, few people listen to it, because it’s often quite dull or hard to understand. This one was different. I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening, too. Not only that, everyone was smiling!
Why was so much attention being paid to this message? As best I can recall, the guard said something along these lines, “Good Morning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith to Central and you’ll be pleased to know that we are right on time. And what a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and all’s right with the world. I trust you have a great day wherever you’re going. Thanks for catching my train this morning and I hope to see you again soon.”
Quite a few people (obviously previous strangers) started talking to one another about the guard’s excellent message and how good it had made everyone feel. I started thinking about this, and then I found the young guard and said “Were you the guard on the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” “Well, I really appreciate your announcement. Thank you for your extremely good message, which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it.”I said.
There are two messages for me in what happened that day. Firstly, when people are happy in their work it shows in what they do and say. Secondly, the story attaches much importance to (非常重视) the benefits (好处) that get from thanking people for something they’ve done, particularly when it’s not expected. Can you imagine the conversation that guard would have when he got home?
24. Why do few train travelers listen to the announcements?
A. They usually feel sleepy. B. The messages are unattractive.
C. The guard’s voice is not clear. D. They are absorbed in books.
25. What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Patient. B. Cautious. C. Excited. D. Surprised.
26. What might the guard talk about with his family when he got home?
A. The beautiful weather. B. The recorded message.
C. The train from Penrith. D. The unexpected appreciation.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Boring Train Story B. An Intelligent Guard
C. A Different Train Announcement D. A Lovely Morning in Sydney
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一次特别的火车广播通知给乘客们带来了愉快的感受。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether it’s the recorded message or the guard’s message, few people listen to it, because it’s often quite dull or hard to understand.(火车旅客一定会同意,当列车员发布通知时,无论是录音信息还是列车员本人的信息,很少有人听,因为它通常很枯燥或难以理解。)”可知,很少有火车旅客听广播通知是因为广播内容没有吸引力。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” (列车员一开始似乎有点stunned,回答说:“是是是的。”)”可知,列车员一开始显得很惊讶,说话都紧张起来,说明stunned的意思是“惊讶的”。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Secondly, the story attaches much importance to the benefits that get from thanking people for something they’ve done, particularly when it’s not expected. Can you imagine the conversation that guard would have when he got home.(其次,这个故事非常重视感谢别人所做事情带来的好处,特别是当这是意想不到的时候。你能想象那个列车员到家后会和家人进行的对话吗?)”可知,当列车员到家后,他可能会和家人谈论的是意想不到的赞赏。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Quietly siting there reading, I found myself suddenly listening to the train guard’s announcement.(静静地坐在那里看书,我突然发现自己正在听列车员的广播通知。)”和“This one was different.(这个不一样。)”可知,主要围绕一次特别的火车广播通知展开,讲述了这个通知给乘客们带来的愉快感受。由此可知,C项“一个不同的火车广播通知”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。
C
The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.
“When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure (安全的) place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.”
Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate (热情的) about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.”
Considering separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost (促进) student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.”
Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues: They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more.
28. Which of the following is NOT a way Merrigan uses to connect with children?
A. Working one-on-one with each child. B. Giving praise, hugs, and affection.
C. Letting children share their stories. D. Giving lots of homework to keep them busy.
29. What is Merrigan’s class like?
A. Warm, supportive, and engaging. B. Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven.
C. Loving and teacher-centered. D. Caring and focused on personal work.
30. Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories?
A. To learn about children’s behavior patterns.
B. To help with exact grading and assessments (评价).
C. To easily manage possible classroom differences.
D. To make her students more focused on her lessons.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Managing Parental Separation Anxiety. B. attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement.
C. Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods. D. Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Paula Merrigan老师通过亲切互动、情感关怀以及结合学生兴趣教学等方式,在幼儿园与孩子们建立深厚情感联系。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.(她每天都会在某个时间点和每个孩子一对一地交流,而且她很慷慨地给予表扬、拥抱和关爱。)”以及第三段中“Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate (热情的) about.(Merrigan还让孩子们给她讲他们的故事,以了解他们热衷于什么。)”可知,Merrigan用来与孩子们建立联系的方法有:与每个孩子一对一地工作;给予赞美、拥抱和关爱;让孩子们分享他们的故事。而在文中并未提及布置大量作业让他们忙起来。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.(她每天都会在某个时间点和每个孩子一对一地交流,而且她很慷慨地给予表扬、拥抱和关爱。)”以及第三段“Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate (热情的) about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.”(Merrigan还会让孩子们给她讲故事,借此了解他们热衷的事物。她说道:“当你知道了孩子们喜欢的东西,再把这些东西和教学主题结合起来,他们会特别感兴趣。比如,如果孩子跟你说他们很喜欢恐龙,那你教字母‘D’的时候,就可以设计一个恐龙主题的美术活动来配合教学。”)”可推知,Merrigan的课堂是温暖、支持性和吸引人的。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate (热情的) about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.”(Merrigan还会让孩子们给她讲故事,借此了解他们热衷的事物。她说道:“当你知道了孩子们喜欢的东西,再把这些东西和教学主题结合起来,他们会特别感兴趣。比如,如果孩子跟你说他们很喜欢恐龙,那你教字母‘D’的时候,就可以设计一个恐龙主题的美术活动来配合教学。”)”可知,Merrigan听学生们讲个人故事是为了让她的学生更专注于她的课程。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning.(Paula Merrigan幼儿园班上的孩子们经常叫她妈妈,有时甚至叫奶奶,部分原因是Merrigan确保所有孩子早上进入教室时都能得到一个大大的微笑。)”可知,本文主要讲述了Paula Merrigan老师如何通过亲切互动、情感关怀以及结合学生兴趣教学等方式,在幼儿园与孩子们建立深厚情感联系。因此,最佳标题为“Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens.(在幼儿园建立情感联系。)”。故选D。
D
Imagine a chameleon (变色龙) standing on a rainbow. With every step, it changes color, trying to match its surroundings. But the more it tries, the more confused it gets. Is it red, blue, or green? This is the dilemma (困境) many teenagers face today — shifting identities in an attempt to belong.
Psychologist Erik Erikson described adolescence as a stage of “identity vs. role confusion.” It’s a time when young people struggle with questions about their values, purpose, and self-worth. Take a girl for example, a 16-year-old student named Wanjiku in Nairobi. At home, her parents remind her to maintain cultural values — dress modestly, respect elders, and pursue a “practical” career like medicine or law. At school, her peers laugh at her for not being “cool” enough because she doesn’t follow the latest TikTok trends or wear designer sneakers. Wanjiku feels like a chameleon, constantly changing to fit into spaces where she never feels truly accepted.
This tug-of-war (拔河) between cultural expectations and global influences is a defining aspect of the identity crisis for many teenagers. Urban teens struggle with balancing tradition and modernity, while those in rural areas feel left behind in a digital age they can barely access. Add peer pressure and academic expectations to the mix, and the search for identity becomes even more challenging.
The good news is that every teenager has the potential to overcome this crisis and find their true self. Like a tree bending in the wind, they may shake under pressure but can grow stronger with the right support. Teens need to understand that their worth isn’t determined by others’ opinions. Activities like journaling can help them reflect on their values, passions and strengths. Parents and teachers can guide teenagers toward discovering their true selves. Teaching teenagers to critically analyze social media can protect them from falling into the trap of comparison.
32. Why does the author mention a chameleon in the beginning?
A. To raise a question.
B. To present an argument.
C. To introduce the topic.
D. To challenge a popular belief.
33. What has caused confusion for Wanjiku?
A. The changing values in culture and society.
B. The burning desire to follow the latest trend.
C. The conflicting expectations from different groups.
D. The ongoing pressure to achieve academic success.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The identity crisis facing teenagers.
B. The negative impact of globalization.
C. The challenge presented by a digital age.
D. The struggle between tradition and modernity.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards dealing with the problem?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain.
C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过变色龙的例子引出青少年的身份认同危机,并详细描述了造成这种危机的各种因素,最后提出了克服这种危机的方法和建议。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Imagine a chameleon (变色龙) standing on a rainbow. With every step, it changes color, trying to match its surroundings. But the more it tries, the more confused it gets. Is it red, blue, or green? This is the dilemma (困境) many teenagers face today — shifting identities in an attempt to belong. (想象一只变色龙站在彩虹上。每走一步,它都会变色,试图与周围的环境相匹配。但它越努力,就越困惑。它是红色、蓝色还是绿色?这是许多青少年今天面临的困境——为了融入而不断改变自己的身份。)”可知,作者通过描述变色龙不断改变颜色以适应环境却愈发困惑的情景,引出了青少年在身份认同上的困境这一话题。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“At home, her parents remind her to maintain cultural values — dress modestly, respect elders, and pursue a “practical” career like medicine or law. At school, her peers laugh at her for not being “cool” enough because she doesn’t follow the latest TikTok trends or wear designer sneakers. (在家里,她的父母提醒她要保持文化价值观——穿着要朴素,要尊重长辈,要追求像医学或法律这样的“实用”职业。在学校,她的同龄人嘲笑她不够“酷”,因为她不追赶最新的TikTok潮流,也不穿名牌运动鞋。)”可知,Wanjiku的困惑来自于家庭和学校中不同群体对她的期望产生了冲突。故选C项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“This tug-of-war (拔河) between cultural expectations and global influences is a defining aspect of the identity crisis for many teenagers. Urban teens struggle with balancing tradition and modernity, while those in rural areas feel left behind in a digital age they can barely access. Add peer pressure and academic expectations to the mix, and the search for identity becomes even more challenging. (这种文化期望和全球影响之间的拉锯战是许多青少年身份危机的决定性方面。城市青少年在传统与现代之间挣扎,而农村青少年则在这个他们几乎无法接触到的数字时代感到被落下。再加上同伴压力和学业期望,寻找身份变得更加具有挑战性。)”可知,第三段主要讨论了青少年面临的身份认同危机,包括文化期望与全球影响的冲突、城乡青少年在传统与现代之间的挣扎,以及同伴压力和学业期望对身份认同的影响。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The good news is that every teenager has the potential to overcome this crisis and find their true self. Like a tree bending in the wind, they may shake under pressure but can grow stronger with the right support. (好消息是,每个青少年都有潜力克服这场危机,找到真正的自我。就像一棵在风中弯曲的树,它们可能会在压力下摇晃,但在适当的支持下可以变得更强大。)”可知,作者认为每个青少年都有潜力克服身份认同危机,找到真正的自我,并在适当的支持下变得更强大。由此可推知,作者对于青少年克服身份认同危机持乐观态度。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何使用灭火器灭火的方法及在灭火过程中应注意的安全事项。
【36题详解】
根据下文“Then, tell somebody to call the fire department once that person is safely outside. Even if you’re able to extinguish the fire on your own, it’s best to have the fire department on the way in case something happens. (然后,一旦那个人安全到达室外,就让他/她打电话给消防部门。即使你自己能够扑灭火灾,最好也让消防部门赶来,以防发生意外。)”可知,本段强调在灭火前要确保人员安全,A选项“Get everybody out of the area first (首先让所有人都离开该区域)”中“Get everybody out”对应下文“safely outside”,强调首先要确保人员安全,是下文“告诉某人在安全出去后拨打消防部门电话”的前提。故选A项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Before using a fire extinguisher, it’s important to take some safety precautions. Locate the closest exit and position yourself so your back is toward it. (使用灭火器前,采取一些安全预防措施很重要。找到最近的出口,并将自己置于背靠出口的位置。)”可知,本段强调在使用灭火器前要找到最近的出口并背对出口,G选项“This will make it easier to escape if you have to leave quickly in an emergency (这样在紧急情况下需要快速离开时会更容易逃生)”承接上文,解释了为什么要背对出口,即为了在紧急情况下快速逃生。故选G项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Pull the pin out from the side of the handle. Hold the lower handle with one hand and grab the hose with the other. (从手柄侧面拔出插销。一只手握住下方的手柄,另一只手抓住软管。)”以及下文“Squeeze the handles together, applying slow and even pressure. (一起挤压把手,施加缓慢而均匀的压力。)”可知,本段在介绍使用灭火器的步骤,C选项“Aim the hose directly at the base of the fire (将软管直接对准火源底部)”承上启下,是拔出插销、握住把手和软管后的下一步操作,即对准火源底部,且与下文“挤压把手”的动作相衔接。故选C项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Sweep the hose from side to side over the base of the fire while squeezing the handles. Move closer to the fire as the flames die down. (在挤压把手的同时,将软管在火源底部左右扫动。随着火焰减弱,靠近火源。)”以及下文“This includes any sign that can restart the fire. (这包括任何可能导致复燃的迹象。)”可知,本段在介绍灭火时的具体操作,B选项“Continue discharging until the fire goes out (继续喷射直到火完全熄灭)”承接上文“扫射灭火”的动作,强调“灭火彻底”的要求,“until the fire goes out”与下文“防止复燃”相呼应,说明持续喷射是为了避免火灾重启。故选B项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“The average extinguisher will have enough agent inside for about 10 seconds of use. Back away and leave immediately if the fire isn’t out when the extinguisher is fully discharged. (普通灭火器内部的灭火剂足够使用约10秒。若灭火剂用完后火仍未扑灭,需立即后退并撤离。)”可知,本段强调如果灭火器喷完后火还没有熄灭,要立即离开,E选项“Leave immediately if you’re unable to extinguish the fire (如果你无法灭火,立即离开)”概括了本段主旨,明确灭火失败后的应急措施,即无法灭火时要立即离开,适合作为段落小标题。故选E项。

Whether you use Short Messaging Service (SMS) or an instant messaging app (即时通讯应用程序) on your smartphone, you’ll see some words that are hard ___56___(understand) because of the chat slang (俚语) people use.
Chat slang is a specific kind of language ___57___ is used in the context of new technologies. Most instant message slang falls into two kinds: acronyms and contractions. These acronyms ___58___(make) up of the first letter of several words such as IDK (I don’t know), OIC (Oh I see), BRB(Be right back), BFN (Bye for now), LOL (Laugh out loud), and ASAP (As soon as possible).

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了人们在聊天时会使用的俚语,它包括首字母缩写和缩略词两类,作者最后指出用这种语言进行即时通讯可以节省时间,但尽量不要过于依赖它。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:无论你是使用短信服务(SMS)还是智能手机上的即时通讯应用程序,你都会看到一些难以理解的单词,因为人们使用聊天俚语。此处是“主语+be+形容词+动词不定式”结构,是固定用法,故填to understand。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:聊天俚语是在新技术背景下使用的一种特定语言。分析句子可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是language,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。
【58题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这些首字母缩略词是由几个单词的首字母组成的,比如IDK(我不知道)、OIC(哦,我明白了)、BRB(马上回来)、BFN(现在再见)、LOL(大声笑)和ASAP(尽快)。be made up of由……组成,且句子是描述一个事实,应用一般现在时,主语acronyms是名词复数,be动词应用are,故填are made。
【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:缩略词可以省略单词中不需要的部分,并可以用数字代替声音,同时保持意思清晰。number数字,可数名词,此处应用复数形式表示泛指,故填numbers。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:看一下这些缩写的例子:Plz(请),Thx(谢谢),Cya(见你),U(你),R(是),L8r(稍后),B4(之前),2morro(明天)。take a look at看一看,固定短语,故填a。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意:用这种语言进行即时通讯可以节省时间,而且非常有趣,但请记住要正确使用它,尽量不要过于依赖它。结合句意可知,空前后表示转折关系,应用连词but或yet。故填but/yet。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词use应用副词形式,故填properly。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。depend on依靠,固定短语,故填on。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如果你必须不断地向人们解释你写的东西,那么使用完整的单词可能会更快。keep doing sth一直做某事,不断做某事,故此处应用动名词形式,故填explaining。
【65题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意同上。结合句意可知,此处指“使用完整的单词可能会更快”,暗含比较,应用形容词比较级形式,故填faster。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the test is difficult, I am well prepared for it.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote the word on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty minutes later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I’m going to mark your papers,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter got an English-Chinese dictionary —the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he waved it highly. “This is my happiest moment.” Peter shouted.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his performance. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to the word. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. It was wrong. “What should I do?” Peter asked himself, staring at the red full marks.
注意:1.续写词数应为150词左右;

A month later, Peter happily told his mother a piece of good news.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version
Peter was lost in thought. “Should I return the dictionary? If so, I would lose what I have expected for a long time. But, if not, I can’t persuade myself to pretend to be as calm as nothing happened.” Suddenly Mum’s words flew into his mind: “We ought to be honest.” Without any hesitation, holding the dictionary and the test paper in hand, Peter approached to Mr. White quickly. Being praised for honesty in front of the class, Peter was very delighted and decided to get full marks in the next test.
A month later, Peter happily told his mother a piece of good news. He would be given the title An honesty boy by the school the next day. Hearing the news, as excited as Peter, Mum kissed Peter on the cheek, saying “I feel so proud of you for your good virtue, honey.” At school, Mr. White handed the dictionary to Peter once again, saying it was not for his score but for his good quality. Laughter lingering around the classroom, Peter set an example to other students that honesty is the best policy.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章讲述了Peter为了得到老师的奖品,精心为英语拼写测试做准备,测试完以后,Peter因得了100 分而获得了奖品——他最喜欢的英汉词典,可是试卷发下来时,Peter发现老师误判了,经过激烈的思想斗争后,想起妈妈教育自己做人要诚实,Peter最终告诉了老师事实,Peter在全班同学面前被表扬了诚实,一个月后,Peter被学校授予“诚实男孩”的称号,妈妈为此感到骄傲,老师又一次把字典递给Peter作为他诚实的奖励。
【详解】1.段落续写:

Quietly siting there reading, I found myself suddenly listening to the train guard’s announcement. Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether it’s the recorded message or the guard’s message, few people listen to it, because it’s often quite dull or hard to understand. This one was different. I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening, too. Not only that, everyone was smiling!
Why was so much attention being paid to this message? As best I can recall, the guard said something along these lines, “Good Morning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith to Central and you’ll be pleased to know that we are right on time. And what a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and all’s right with the world. I trust you have a great day wherever you’re going. Thanks for catching my train this morning and I hope to see you again soon.”
Quite a few people (obviously previous strangers) started talking to one another about the guard’s excellent message and how good it had made everyone feel. I started thinking about this, and then I found the young guard and said “Were you the guard on the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” “Well, I really appreciate your announcement. Thank you for your extremely good message, which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it.”I said.
There are two messages for me in what happened that day. Firstly, when people are happy in their work it shows in what they do and say. Secondly, the story attaches much importance to (非常重视) the benefits (好处) that get from thanking people for something they’ve done, particularly when it’s not expected. Can you imagine the conversation that guard would have when he got home?
24. Why do few train travelers listen to the announcements?
A. They usually feel sleepy. B. The messages are unattractive.
C. The guard’s voice is not clear. D. They are absorbed in books.
25. What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Patient. B. Cautious. C. Excited. D. Surprised.
26. What might the guard talk about with his family when he got home?
A. The beautiful weather. B. The recorded message.
C. The train from Penrith. D. The unexpected appreciation.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Boring Train Story B. An Intelligent Guard
C. A Different Train Announcement D. A Lovely Morning in Sydney
C
The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.
“When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure (安全的) place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.”
Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate (热情的) about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.”
Considering separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost (促进) student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.”
Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues: They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more.
28. Which of the following is NOT a way Merrigan uses to connect with children?
A. Working one-on-one with each child. B. Giving praise, hugs, and affection.
C. Letting children share their stories. D. Giving lots of homework to keep them busy.
29. What is Merrigan’s class like?
A. Warm, supportive, and engaging. B. Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven.
C. Loving and teacher-centered. D. Caring and focused on personal work.
30. Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories?
A. To learn about children’s behavior patterns.
B. To help with exact grading and assessments (评价).
C. To easily manage possible classroom differences.
D. To make her students more focused on her lessons.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Managing Parental Separation Anxiety. B. attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement.
C. Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods. D. Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens.
D
Imagine a chameleon (变色龙) standing on a rainbow. With every step, it changes color, trying to match its surroundings. But the more it tries, the more confused it gets. Is it red, blue, or green? This is the dilemma (困境) many teenagers face today — shifting identities in an attempt to belong.
Psychologist Erik Erikson described adolescence as a stage of “identity vs. role confusion.” It’s a time when young people struggle with questions about their values, purpose, and self-worth. Take a girl for example, a 16-year-old student named Wanjiku in Nairobi. At home, her parents remind her to maintain cultural values — dress modestly, respect elders, and pursue a “practical” career like medicine or law. At school, her peers laugh at her for not being “cool” enough because she doesn’t follow the latest TikTok trends or wear designer sneakers. Wanjiku feels like a chameleon, constantly changing to fit into spaces where she never feels truly accepted.
This tug-of-war (拔河) between cultural expectations and global influences is a defining aspect of the identity crisis for many teenagers. Urban teens struggle with balancing tradition and modernity, while those in rural areas feel left behind in a digital age they can barely access. Add peer pressure and academic expectations to the mix, and the search for identity becomes even more challenging.
The good news is that every teenager has the potential to overcome this crisis and find their true self. Like a tree bending in the wind, they may shake under pressure but can grow stronger with the right support. Teens need to understand that their worth isn’t determined by others’ opinions. Activities like journaling can help them reflect on their values, passions and strengths. Parents and teachers can guide teenagers toward discovering their true selves. Teaching teenagers to critically analyze social media can protect them from falling into the trap of comparison.
32. Why does the author mention a chameleon in the beginning?
A. To raise a question.
B. To present an argument.
C. To introduce the topic.
D. To challenge a popular belief.
33. What has caused confusion for Wanjiku?
A. The changing values in culture and society.
B. The burning desire to follow the latest trend.
C. The conflicting expectations from different groups.
D. The ongoing pressure to achieve academic success.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The identity crisis facing teenagers.
B. The negative impact of globalization.
C. The challenge presented by a digital age.
D. The struggle between tradition and modernity.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards dealing with the problem?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain.
C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.

Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the test is difficult, I am well prepared for it.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote the word on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty minutes later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I’m going to mark your papers,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter got an English-Chinese dictionary —the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he waved it highly. “This is my happiest moment.” Peter shouted.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his performance. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to the word. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. It was wrong. “What should I do?” Peter asked himself, staring at the red full marks.
注意:1.续写词数应为150词左右;

Peter was lost in thought.
