1. The excuse he ________ to avoid helping with the housework sounded so ridiculous that his mother punished him immediately.
A. gave up B. made up C. picked up D. put up
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:他为了避免做家务而编造的借口听起来如此荒谬,以至于他的母亲立刻惩罚了他。
give up放弃;make up编造;pick up捡起;put up张贴。根据“The excuse he...to avoid helping with the housework”可知,为了避免做家务而提出的借口是编造出来的,应填made up。
2. The little boy didn’t stop playing computer games ________ his mother came back home.
A. when B. until C. after D. because
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个小男孩直到妈妈回家才停止玩电脑游戏。
when当……时;until直到……为止;after在……之后;because因为。not... until...意为“直到……才……”,是固定搭配。此处指直到妈妈回来才停止玩游戏,应填until。
3. —Have you ever practiced Tai Chi?
—Yes. I ________ Tai Chi when I studied in Zhengzhou two years ago.
A. have practiced B. practice C. was practicing D. practiced
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你练过太极吗?——练过。两年前我在郑州上学的时候练过太极。
句中“two years ago”表示过去的时间,需用一般过去时,因此选practiced。
4. —Is Mr. Wang still in the office?
—No, he has been away from his office for about an hour, but he ________ the city yet. He just went to the meeting room.
A. hasn’t left B. hasn’t gone to C. hasn’t been to D. hasn’t been away from
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——王先生还在办公室吗?——不,他离开办公室大约一个小时了,但是他还没有离开这座城市。他刚去了会议室。
hasn’t left没有离开,强调动作;hasn’t gone to没去;hasn’t been to没有去过;hasn’t been away from没有远离,表状态。根据后句“He just went to the meeting room.”可知他只是去了会议室,人还在附近,并没有离开这座城市。leave表示离开,符合语境;yet常用于现在完成时否定句末。
5. —Many people love travelling to big cities for modern buildings and busy life.
—________ me, I prefer quiet small towns with fresh air and nice views, even though they have fewer entertainment options.
A. Because of B. As for C. Instead of D. As well as
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——很多人喜欢去大城市旅游,欣赏现代建筑、体验繁忙的生活。——至于我,我更喜欢有新鲜空气和优美景色的安静小镇,尽管它们的娱乐选择更少。
Because of因为;As for至于;Instead of代替;As well as和。结合语境,此处用于引出自己的观点,因此选As for。
6. The fire was very strong, but the firefighters finally ________ to rescue everyone from the burning building before it fell down.
A. tried B. managed C. succeeded D. continued
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:火势非常猛烈,但消防员们最终在大楼倒塌前设法把所有人都从着火的大楼里救了出来。
tried尝试(try to do表示努力做,但不强调结果);managed设法做到(manage to do表示成功做成某事);succeeded成功(用法为succeed in doing sth.);continued继续(continue to do表示继续做某事)。根据语境“finally...rescue everyone”可知,此处强调消防员成功完成救援任务,且搭配为to do,所以选managed。
7. The sports event was broadcast ________ from Beijing. The young athletes were even ________ than in daily practice.
A. alive; more lively B. live; livelier C. lively; more alive D. living; livelier
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:这场体育赛事从北京进行了现场直播。年轻运动员们甚至比平时训练时更有活力。
alive活着的;live现场直播的;lively生动的/充满活力的;living活着的。第一空修饰“broadcast”,表示“现场直播”,用live;第二空根据“than”可知用比较级,表示“更有活力”,用livelier。应填live; livelier。
8. —Someone said Mike cheated on the exam.
—I have no doubt that he is honest, but I still have some doubt ________ he can pass this difficult exam or not.
A. when B. that C. if D. whether
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——有人说Mike考试作弊了。——我毫不怀疑他是诚实的,但我仍然有些怀疑是否他能通过这次艰难的考试。
when什么时候;that无实义;if是否;whether是否。根据句中“or not”可知,此处表示“是否”,whether常与or not连用,而if通常不与or not直接连用,且doubt后的从句表示不确定时常用whether。
9. —I didn’t have the ________ to communicate with strangers when I was a little child.
—Neither did I. But now I am brave enough to face their eyes when greeting them.
A. energy B. knowledge C. courage D. ability
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——当我还是个小孩子的时候,我没有勇气和陌生人交流。——我也是。但现在和他们打招呼时,我勇敢地面对他们的目光。
考查名词辨析。energy能量;knowledge知识;courage勇气;ability能力。根据“But now I am brave enough to face their eyes”可知,小时候没有“勇气”和陌生人交流。故选C。
10. To find out how the birds build their nests, the researcher spent an entire afternoon ________ to record every detail of their behavior.
A. noticing closely B. seeing closely C. watching close D. watching closely
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了弄清楚鸟类是如何筑巢的,研究人员花了一整个下午仔细观察以记录它们行为的每一个细节。
watch观看,侧重过程,see看见,侧重结果,notice注意,侧重察觉;close作副词常指距离“靠近”;closely仔细地。“spend time doing sth.”表示花费时间做某事。根据语境,研究人员为了记录细节需持续专注地观察,修饰动词应用副词,应填watching closely。
二、词汇(每题2分,共20分)
A) 根据中文释义或首字母填写合适的单词,使句意完整。
11. “Banwei”, an internet phrase meaning “scent of work”, has become a description of the ________ (共同的) tired feeling that many modern people share.
【答案】common
【解析】
【详解】句意:“班味”,一个意为“工作的味道”的网络用语,已成为许多现代人共有的疲惫感的描述。“共同的”对应的单词是common,是形容词作定语,修饰名词feeling。
12. As a result of the long journey, their ________ (胃) were so empty that even a piece of dry bread seemed tasty.
【答案】stomachs
【解析】
【详解】句意:由于长途旅行,他们的胃都空空如也,以至于即使是一片干面包看起来也很美味。括号内的提示词为“胃”,对应的单词是stomach;主语是their,名词用复数形式stomachs。
13. Those who are blind to beauty will never feel its charm. He who has never visited here would never feel its beauty, ________ (也).
【答案】either
【解析】
【详解】句意:对美视而不见的人,永远感受不到它的魅力。从未踏足此地的人,也永远不会感受到它的美。前后两句均为否定句,填词“也”表示“也不”,用副词“either”。
14. The young s________ stood quietly at the gate of the army base, holding a gun and watching for any danger.
【答案】soldier##oldier
【解析】
【详解】句意:这位年轻的士兵静静地站在军事基地门口,持枪警戒防备任何危险。结合首字母s以及“at the gate of the army base, holding a gun and watching for any danger”,可知此处表示“士兵”,对应单词soldier,是可数名词,此处特指某一士兵,所以填单数名词。
15. The bird flew s________ towards the tree without stopping, landing safely.
【答案】straight##traight
【解析】
【详解】句意:鸟儿径直飞向那棵树,没有停留,安全地降落了。根据“towards the tree without stopping”和首字母可知,此处表示“直接地、笔直地”,straight“径直地”符合语境,修饰动词flew。故填straight。
B) 根据所给单词的正确形式填空
16. My little brother ________ (fall) over many times since he started learning to ride a bike.
【答案】has fallen
【解析】
【详解】句意:自从开始学骑自行车以来,我的弟弟已经摔倒很多次了。根据时间状语“since he started learning”可知,动作从过去持续到现在,并可能继续,应用现在完成时。主语My little brother是第三人称单数,因此用has fallen。
17. Imagine ________ (admire) your classmate’s perfect handwriting, not knowing that he practiced every single night for a whole year.
【答案】admiring
【解析】
【详解】句意:想象一下,你在欣赏同学完美的书法,却不知道他整整一年里每天晚上都在练习。admire是动词,固定搭配imagine doing sth.表示“想象做某事”,因此用动名词形式admiring。
18. To my surprise, huge ________ (army) of volunteers came to clean up the beach every week.
【答案】armies
【解析】
【详解】句意:令我惊讶的是,大批志愿者每周都来清理海滩。army表示“大群、大批”,是可数名词;常用搭配为“armies of + 复数名词”,表示“大批的……”,此处用复数形式armies。
19. Reading the questions carefully before you write is the key to ________ (get) a good grade on the test.
【答案】getting
【解析】
【详解】句意:答题前仔细阅读题目是在考试中取得好成绩的关键。括号内的单词get是动词,固定搭配the key to doing sth.表示“做某事的关键”,其中to是介词,后接动名词形式,因此用getting。
20. With the development of modern technology, we can keep in ________ (communicate) with our friends through the Internet.
【答案】communication
【解析】
【详解】句意:随着现代科技的发展,我们可以通过互联网与朋友保持联系。括号内的单词communicate是动词,固定搭配keep in communication with sb.表示“与某人保持联系”,因此需用名词形式communication。

四、完型填空(每题2分,共20分)
What Is Paris Syndrome (综合征)?
When you think of Paris, what comes to mind? Perhaps the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, or romantic streets shown in movies and on social media (媒体). Many books, films, and songs paint Paris ____27____ a dream city full of love and beauty. However, the real Paris can be quite different—just like any other big city, it has ____28____ subways, cold weather, and even rude waiters. This gap (差距) between expectation and reality can sometimes ____29____ to something called Paris Syndrome.
So, what exactly is Paris Syndrome? It is a set of ____30____ feelings—such as dizziness, sickness, and anxiety (焦虑)—that some tourists experience when the real Paris does not match the perfect ____31____ they had in mind. Unlike Stendhal Syndrome (caused by amazement at art) or Jerusalem Syndrome (caused by strong faith), Paris Syndrome comes from disappointment (失望) ____32____.
The term was first used in 1991 by a Japanese doctor working in France. He noticed that some visitors, ____33____ from Japan and China, became deeply upset during their trip. Several reasons can explain this. First, the media in East Asia often shows Paris as a perfect, amazing place—something that is hard to find in real life. ____34____, language barriers (障碍) and unfriendly local attitudes can make the experience worse. Third, the tiredness from long flights and time difference—which is the feeling of being sleepy at the wrong time of day after a long journey—can also add to the stress.
____35____ most reported cases are from Asian tourists, Paris Syndrome is not limited to any one group. It serves as an important reminder: what we see in movies, books, and social media is always a carefully chosen story, not the full truth. A city, no matter how famous, is still just a city. Its magic ____36____ largely on what the visitors themselves are able to find and appreciate.
27. A. for B. as C. like D. with
28. A. convenient B. comfortable C. crowded D. colorful
29. A. cause B. add C. get D. lead
30. A. comfortable B. pleasant C. unpleasant D. painful
31. A. image B. photo C. painting D. saying
32. A. either B. instead C. as well D. too
33. A. specially B. even C. almost D. especially
34. A. Then B. Later C. Second D. Next
35. A. Because B. If C. Although D. Unless
36. A. depends B. works C. insists D. lives
【答案】27. B 28. C 29. D 30. C 31. A 32. B 33. D 34. C 35. C 36. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了巴黎综合征的概念、产生原因(期望与现实的落差、文化差异等),并指出旅游宣传与真实体验的差距会给游客带来心理冲击。
【27题详解】
句意:许多书籍、电影和歌曲都把巴黎描绘成一座充满爱与美的梦幻城市。
“paint…as…”,意为“把……描绘成……”,符合语境。“paint for”(为……作画)、“paint like”(画得像……)、“paint with”(用……画)均不符合此处语义。
【28题详解】
句意:然而,真实的巴黎可能大不相同——就像其他大城市一样,它有拥挤的地铁、寒冷的天气,甚至还有粗鲁的服务员。
此处描述巴黎的负面现实情况,与前文的“梦幻城市”形成反差。“crowded”(拥挤的)符合“大城市常见的问题”这一语境;“convenient”(方便的)、“comfortable”(舒适的)、“colorful”(多彩的)均为正面描述,与后文的负面信息不符。
【29题详解】
句意:这种期望与现实之间的差距有时会导致一种被称为“巴黎综合征”的现象。
固定搭配“lead to”,意为“导致、引起”,表示差距引发了巴黎综合征。“cause”(引起)后面直接接宾语,不需要加“to”;“add to”(增加)、“get to”(到达)不符合语境。
【30题详解】
句意:它是一组不愉快的感受——比如头晕、恶心和焦虑——当真实的巴黎与他们脑海中完美的形象不符时,一些游客会经历这些感受。
根据后文列举的“头晕、恶心、焦虑”,这些都是负面的、令人不适的感受,因此选“unpleasant”(不愉快的)。“comfortable”(舒适的)、“pleasant”(愉快的)为正面词汇,与语境矛盾;“painful”(痛苦的)程度过重,不符合这些感受的描述。
【31题详解】
句意:它是一组不愉快的感受——比如头晕、恶心和焦虑——当真实的巴黎与他们脑海中完美的形象不符时,一些游客会经历这些感受。
“image”意为“形象、印象”,指游客在心中构建的巴黎的完美印象,与“现实巴黎”形成对比。“photo”(照片)、“painting”(画作)、“saying”(谚语)均不符合“脑海中的印象”这一语境。
【32题详解】
句意:与司汤达综合征(由对艺术的惊叹引起)或耶路撒冷综合征(由强烈的信仰引起)不同,巴黎综合征反而是由失望引起的。
此处对比了三种综合征的成因,用“instead”表示转折,强调巴黎综合征的成因与前两者不同,是“相反地”由失望导致的。“either”(也,用于否定句)、“as well”(也)、“too”(也)均无法体现这种对比转折关系。
【33题详解】
句意:他注意到一些游客,尤其是来自日本和中国的游客,在旅行中变得非常沮丧。
“especially”意为“尤其、特别”,用于强调在所有游客中,来自日本和中国的游客受影响更明显。
【34题详解】
句意:首先,东亚的媒体经常把巴黎描绘成一个完美、迷人的地方——这在现实生活中很难找到。其次,语言障碍和当地人不友好的态度会让体验变得更糟。
前文用“First”(第一)列举原因,此处用“Second”(第二)承接,是常见的列举逻辑。
【35题详解】
句意:尽管大多数报告的案例来自亚洲游客,但巴黎综合征并不局限于任何一个群体。
前后句存在转折关系:“虽然案例多来自亚洲游客,但它并非只发生在亚洲游客身上”,因此用“Although”(尽管)引导让步状语从句。
【36题详解】
句意:一座城市,无论多么有名,终究只是一座城市。它的魅力很大程度上取决于游客自己能够发现和欣赏什么。
固定搭配“depend on”,意为“取决于、依赖于”,表示城市的魅力由游客自身的体验决定。

六、任务型阅读(每题2分,共20分)
Ella Dove’s first children’s book, How to Roller Skate with One Leg, is an inspiring (激励的) and uplifting story that celebrates friendship, family and overcoming(战胜) challenges. In the book we meet 12 year-old Maya Bright who has lost her leg after a road accident on her way to school. Dove is a writer and reporter who lost her right leg aged 25 following a running accident. During her recovery, Dove kept a diary about her experiences and decided that she wanted to help others through her writing, and change people’s ideas about what it’s like to be an amputee (someone who has had an arm or leg cut off ). Dove says, “I chose roller skating as the activity that my character learns to do because it’s one of the things where you’d be like, ‘you’ve got one leg, you can’t do that!’”
In the story, we join Maya as she excitedly returns to school, only to discover that her best friend has ditched (抛弃) her for a new group of girls. “At that age you’re experiencing friendship struggles (挣扎), dilemmas, fitting in and learning who you truly are,” says Dove.
When Maya finds a list of fun things she'd like to experience that she made before her accident, she decides she’s still going to tick off everything on it by her thirteenth birthday. Some goals are easy, but others—like learning how to roller skate—are more difficult with an artificial leg. With the support of family, friends and her own positive attitude(态度), Maya—who Dove describes as a “determined (坚定的) and fun”—finds a way to overcome her challenges. Dove hopes the book will inspire readers to try new things, believe in themselves and depend on their friendships when things get hard.
She says, “Whatever you’re going through, whether it’s moving to a new school or a huge thing like an accident, like I had, through difficult times there is always hope. It’s going to be ok.”

What Is Paris Syndrome (综合征)?
When you think of Paris, what comes to mind? Perhaps the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, or romantic streets shown in movies and on social media (媒体). Many books, films, and songs paint Paris ____27____ a dream city full of love and beauty. However, the real Paris can be quite different—just like any other big city, it has ____28____ subways, cold weather, and even rude waiters. This gap (差距) between expectation and reality can sometimes ____29____ to something called Paris Syndrome.
So, what exactly is Paris Syndrome? It is a set of ____30____ feelings—such as dizziness, sickness, and anxiety (焦虑)—that some tourists experience when the real Paris does not match the perfect ____31____ they had in mind. Unlike Stendhal Syndrome (caused by amazement at art) or Jerusalem Syndrome (caused by strong faith), Paris Syndrome comes from disappointment (失望) ____32____.
The term was first used in 1991 by a Japanese doctor working in France. He noticed that some visitors, ____33____ from Japan and China, became deeply upset during their trip. Several reasons can explain this. First, the media in East Asia often shows Paris as a perfect, amazing place—something that is hard to find in real life. ____34____, language barriers (障碍) and unfriendly local attitudes can make the experience worse. Third, the tiredness from long flights and time difference—which is the feeling of being sleepy at the wrong time of day after a long journey—can also add to the stress.
____35____ most reported cases are from Asian tourists, Paris Syndrome is not limited to any one group. It serves as an important reminder: what we see in movies, books, and social media is always a carefully chosen story, not the full truth. A city, no matter how famous, is still just a city. Its magic ____36____ largely on what the visitors themselves are able to find and appreciate.

六、任务型阅读(每题2分,共20分)
Ella Dove’s first children’s book, How to Roller Skate with One Leg, is an inspiring (激励的) and uplifting story that celebrates friendship, family and overcoming(战胜) challenges. In the book we meet 12 year-old Maya Bright who has lost her leg after a road accident on her way to school. Dove is a writer and reporter who lost her right leg aged 25 following a running accident. During her recovery, Dove kept a diary about her experiences and decided that she wanted to help others through her writing, and change people’s ideas about what it’s like to be an amputee (someone who has had an arm or leg cut off ). Dove says, “I chose roller skating as the activity that my character learns to do because it’s one of the things where you’d be like, ‘you’ve got one leg, you can’t do that!’”
In the story, we join Maya as she excitedly returns to school, only to discover that her best friend has ditched (抛弃) her for a new group of girls. “At that age you’re experiencing friendship struggles (挣扎), dilemmas, fitting in and learning who you truly are,” says Dove.
When Maya finds a list of fun things she'd like to experience that she made before her accident, she decides she’s still going to tick off everything on it by her thirteenth birthday. Some goals are easy, but others—like learning how to roller skate—are more difficult with an artificial leg. With the support of family, friends and her own positive attitude(态度), Maya—who Dove describes as a “determined (坚定的) and fun”—finds a way to overcome her challenges. Dove hopes the book will inspire readers to try new things, believe in themselves and depend on their friendships when things get hard.
She says, “Whatever you’re going through, whether it’s moving to a new school or a huge thing like an accident, like I had, through difficult times there is always hope. It’s going to be ok.”
