阅读理解
A篇本文为应用文。德文特艺术奖是全球性的铅笔艺术作品赛事,本文主要介绍了参赛作品的要求、费用和奖
项以及赛事的重要日期。
21.C细节理解题。通读全文可知,本文介绍的是2026年德文特艺术奖的相关事宜,又根据第一段中的“Created
in2012 by Derwent'”可知,该奖项创立于2012年,故可知其历史已超过10年。
22.C细节理解题。根据“Entry Process”部分最后一句“Images of up to6 recent works,in digital format(jpg.,
maximum:5 MB file size)”可知,上传的作品大小需要在5MB之内。
23.B推理判断题。根据“Entry Fees'”部分中“General Admission:The entry fee is£I5 for the first work and£5for
each additional work.Young Artist Admission:Artists under25 years of age will pay£5 per work.”可知,一位20岁
的学生如果提交3幅作品,至少需要交15英镑的参赛费。
B篇本文为记叙文。文章讲述了美国科罗拉多州普韦布洛社区的Stan和Cora Krol夫妇从空巢父母转变为寄
养父母的历程。
24.B细节理解题。第一段提及夫妇二人成为空巢父母后,Co阳感叹“家里太安静了,无事可做”,并提出“想了解
寄养照顾”的想法,故B项是这对夫妇考虑寄养照顾的最初动因。
25.C细节理解题。第三段中Stan明确表示“You take these kids in because you know they're hurting inside”,即他们
收留这些孩子是因为他们知晓孩子们内心的痛苦,这也是他们虽遇困难仍坚持的原因。
26.D推理判断题。第五段提到Krol夫妇的女儿Tammy受他们启发成为寄养父母,Tammy的女儿Sloan也加入其
中。由此可推断,Kol夫妇的付出和奉献精神产生了持久影响,带动了家人传承这份爱心。
27.A推理判断题。通读全文,Kol夫妇34年间照顾130多名困境儿童,不顾困难坚持提供关爱,其行为体现了
“富有同情心的”warm-hearted;他们对寄养事业的长期投入和坚定承诺,体现了“有奉献精神(devoted)”。
C篇本文为说明文。文章主要介绍人工造雪的安全性及相关研究。
28.D推理判断题。第一段先提及气候变化导致滑雪场因天然雪短缺受影响,进而转折引出核心:造雪机使用的
Snowmax可能并非无害,还关联致命神经疾病。故第一段的目的是引人人工雪存在的隐藏问题。
29.A细节理解题。文章第三段指出,Snowmax中含有冰核蛋白,能使水在稍高的温度下结冰。选项A准确概括
了这一作用。
30.B细节理解题。第五段提到,人工雪中的杂质主要来源于上游水体污染,如城市污水处理厂和医疗设施,而非
造雪过程本身。
31.D推理判断题。作者既提及某项研究将Snowmax与致命神经疾病关联,呈现其潜在风险,又客观陈述PubMed
数据库未发现人工雪与突发疾病的关联以及欧洲研究表明人工雪中杂质源于上游污染而非造雪过程等结论,
均未支持或否定,态度是客观的。
D篇本文为议论文。文章主要讨论了忙碌生活方式有一些好处,并指出关键在于忙碌的动机一健康的忙碌可
以带来积极效果,并给出了相关建议。
32.D词义猜测题。根据第一段中“If you often pack your schedule with work,domestic duties,and some social life,
you're probably familiar with the pitfalls of an overly busy lifestyle.”且后句转折指出“But it doesn't have to be that
way.”再结合本段最后一句提到的“being busy actually has specific benefits'”,可推断pitfalls指代忙碌生活带来
的负面事物。
33.B推理判断题。根据第二段中Dr.Annie Varvaryan的观点“your intentions determines whether or not you're
benefiting from your current schedule'”,可知是忙碌的初衷决定了忙碌带来的效果,B选项“original purpose”与
原文“intentions'”对应。
34.C推理判断题。根据第三段中“healthy busyness leaves little time for excessive and unproductive worrying”可知,
英语答案第1页(共6页)
健康的忙碌几乎没有时间让人过度且徒劳地担忧,也就是减少不必要的担忧。
35.A主旨大意题。文章核心围绕“忙碌”展开,开篇引出话题,随后区分健康与不健康忙碌,阐述健康忙碌的益
处,最后给出建议
七选五本文是说明文。文章主要围绕中国茶文化展开论述。
36.B前文指出茶从简单的养生方式发展为融合哲学与生活的艺术,后文则具体讲述茶文化在现代的体现。B项
“如今这一古老传统仍在塑造现代生活方式”起到承上启下的作用,衔接上下文的逻辑。
37.D前文提到泡茶奉茶的仪式能让人慢下来、静心、与人交流,且在现代依旧重要;后文说大城市的茶馆提供了
远离喧嚣的静谧空间。D项“许多人在繁忙的都市生活中追寻片刻宁静”恰好解释了茶馆存在的意义和茶文
化受现代人青睐的原因。
38.G前文提到了龙井、铁观音、普洱等中国茶品种因其味道和制茶技术而受到重视,后文提及这带动了文化旅
游,游客前往茶产区参观茶园、了解手工制茶工艺。G项“年轻消费者对茶的生长环境和加工方法更好奇”能
够衔接茶品种与制茶工艺的关联,体现传统工艺的吸引力。
39.C前文表明茶文化虽植根历史却随现代生活方式不断发展,后文提到年轻创业者为行业注入新想法,将传统
口味与创新结合。C项“创意茶饮如今在各处的咖啡馆和商店里都很常见”是茶文化现代化发展的具体体
现,符合语境。
40.E后文总结茶文化鼓励人们欣赏周遭、珍视人际关系、在简单仪式中找寻意义,是传统在顺应时代变化时保
持精神内核的鲜活范例。E项“中国茶文化之所以能够延续至今,正是因为它拥有永恒不变的特质。”是对全
文主旨的升华,概括了茶文化的传承与发展。
完形填空本文为记叙文。文章以作者在滑雪小镇冬季用品店的工作经历为视角,讲述了一个充满爱意的暖心小
故事。
4l.D考查形容词。根据后文“The kids went straight for the helmets and ski boots at once..”以及“pulled their parents
around the shop'”可知,孩子一进店就直奔装备区,还拉着父母逛店,应该表现得活力满满,energetic(精力充沛
的)符合语境。
42.A考查副词。结合前文孩子直奔装备区,以及后文“begging to.”的行为,可知孩子是急切地拉着父母逛
店,想要尝试各类装备。eagerly能体现孩子的迫切心情,impatiently侧重“不耐烦”,与孩子喜爱装备的语境
不符。
43.C考查动词短语。根据前文孩子关注头盔、滑雪靴,以及在滑雪装备店的场景,可知孩子是央求父母试戴/
试穿店里的每一件物品,try on符合装备店的使用场景。
44.B考查动词。根据后文父亲趁母亲不注意他(时)找作者买东西,以及“casting a quick look over his shoulder at
his wife'”可知,母亲此时正集中注意力于孩子们。

被妻子听到,whispered(低语,小声说)符合语境。
46.C考查动词。根据后文父亲偷偷买这顶帽子,以及“for weeks”可知,父亲这几周一直想买这顶帽子,“have
my eye on..”表示“看中某物很久了”。
47.B考查副词。父亲是偷偷买东西,怕被妻子发现,因此会快速地把钱递给作者,immediately能体现其急切、怕
被发现的心理。
48.D考查动词。作者作为店员,为顾客打包商品是礼貌、规范的行为,placed the hat into his bag表示“把帽子放
进他的包里”,符合职业场景。
49.A考查形容词。根据后文母亲也来偷偷买帽子,可知此时母亲终于从孩子的纠缠中抽出身来。be五ree from
表示“摆脱…,从…中抽身”,符合语境。
50.C考查动词。母亲走到帽子货架旁,隔着柜台和作者说话,需要探身过柜台。lean over表示“探身、俯身”,是
符合场景的动作,其余动词均不符合柜台前的行为逻辑。
51.D考查动词。母亲也是偷偷买帽子,怕被丈夫发现,因此付完钱后会匆忙回到孩子身边,装作一直照顾孩子
的样子。hurried back to(匆忙返回)能体现其偷偷摸摸、怕被发现的心理。
52.C考查名词。夫妻二人都偷偷给对方买了想要的帽子,心里藏着对彼此的心意,离开时脸上会带着掩饰不住
英语答案第2页(共6页)
的微笑。

的付出)能体现这份为爱人着想的用心,符合语境。
55.A考查名词。通读全文可知夫妻二人偷偷为对方买帽子,这份默默为对方付出的行为,会加深彼此之间的
关系(bond)。
语法填空本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了舞剧《时空之殿》的演出情况、创作灵感及核心内涵。
56.currently考查副词。此处修饰谓语动词being staged,需用副词作状语,current的副词形式为currently。
57.located考查非谓语动词。be located in为固定搭配,意为“位于.”,此处用过去分词短语作后置定语修饰
Taoist temple,省略be动词。
58.on考查介词。center on为固定短语,意为“以…为中心;聚焦于.”。
59.to breathe考查非谓语动词。此处用动词不定式作目的状语,表“运用肢体语言的目的是为古物赋予生命
力”。
60.was built考查动词的时态和语态。主语Yongle Palace与build之间为被动关系,且建造的动作发生在过去,
需用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数,故填was built。.

He moved closer and patiently showed me how to place my fingers.He explained with great care.I finally understood the
movement.A careful and sincere "thank you"from me led to a short,focused talk about the beat and timing.We started
to speak again.First we just talk about the technical parts of the music,then,slowly,about other small things like the
new strings he had bought.The old connection,long lost,began to return like a familiar song.We even felt brave enough
to add a new,hopeful part to our old,unfinished song,finding joy in creating together once more.
On the concert night,we achieved great success through our perfect cooperation.When the final note ended,the
audience erupted in cheers.Leo turned to me,his face lit up with a bright,real smile I hadn't seen in a year.A wave of
pure happiness and gratitude washed over me.Without thinking,I pulled him into a tight hug right there on the stage.In

What is“good sleep”?Sleep as long as we can?
New research is changing our view of "good sleep".The study published in the scientific journal Sleep shows that our
bodies benefit most when we sleep for an uninterrupted cycle,not merely for a long time.Researchers followed the sleep
habits of 60,000 people.They found that sleeping six hours every night on a consistent schedule was associated with a
lower risk of early death when compared with sleeping eight hours on an irregular schedule.Sleeping for 8 hours is great,
but it may not be the only key to better health.A long-lasting sleep habit has become a major health target.When we keep
a regular sleep schedule,our biological clock becomes more efficient,and then we are able to fall asleep faster and better.
Here are simple tips for it.First,set a fixed bedtime and wake-up time.Second,keep your resting place cool,dark,
quiet and comfortable.Third,take time to relax before sleep.Experts recommend things like taking a warm bath or
shower,reading or listening to calming music.
