Today I want to introduce three great books to you. All of them are based on the writers’ own life experiences, and they are really moving. 1. Qing Bai Shijie (The Green and White Stone Steps) Writer: Ma Jun This book starts with Ma Jun’s childhood. When he was born, his legs were very weak. He couldn’t move or stand by himself. While other kids ran and played happily, Ma Jun could only sit on the stone steps and watch them. This memory became the title of his book. The title also has a deep meaning. In Chinese, “qing bai” means purity. Some people laughed at Ma Jun and treated him unfairly. But through his writing, he wants to tell everyone: he is no different from others. 2. In Ili Writer: Wang Meng Wang Meng lived in Ili, Xinjiang from 1965 to 1971. He wrote this book according to his life there. He learned the local language, worked with farmers, and experienced their daily life. The book also shows special local customs. For example, women in northern Xinjiang tie their headscarves in a different way from those in the south. Wang said his life in Ili was hard but meaningful. He enjoyed simple happiness, like drinking milk tea and talking with friends. 3. A Man in a Hurry Writer: Wang Jibing 56-year-old Wang Jibing is famous as the “food delivery poet”. One day, a customer gave him a wrong address, so he had to rush many times to send the food. He wrote a poem about this unpleasant experience. The poem says: “The man in a hurry has no four seasons. He only has one stop after another. His world is about the name of a place.” In 2022, another poet posted this poem online, and it became popular quickly. It let more people know the real life of delivery workers. Later, Wang Jibing published his first poetry collection with over 180 poems, and it has the same name as the poem: A Man in a Hurry. 16.

Parents. B. Writers. C. Book lovers. D. Librarians. 【答案】16. C 17. C 18. B 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了三本基于作者亲身经历的感人书籍及其背后的故事。 【16题详解】 “Qing Bai Shijie”下面的“While other kids ran and played happily, Ma Jun could only sit on the stone steps and watch them.”表明，石阶对马骏的意义是他坐在那里看别的孩子玩耍。 【17题详解】 “In Ili”下面的“Wang said his life in Ili was hard but meaningful. He enjoyed simple happiness...”表明，他的生活虽艰难但快乐。 【18题详解】 “A Man in a Hurry”下面的“It let more people know the real life of delivery workers.”说明这首诗因真实展现外卖员生活而走红。 【19题详解】 第一段指出“All of them are based on the writers’ own life experiences.”，这是三本书的共同点。 【20题详解】 全文介绍三本感人的书籍及其背景，目的是向读者推荐书籍，因此最可能的读者是“书籍爱好者”。 B Zhang Xue Motor Makes History at World Championship On March 28-29, 2026, a Chinese motorcycle brand called “Zhang Xue Motor” won two races at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal. The French rider crossed the finish line nearly 4 seconds ahead of others. This was the first time a Chinese brand won this top-level race, breaking the long monopoly (垄断) of European and Japanese brands. The man behind this success is 39-year-old Zhang Xue. His story is like a movie. Born in a poor village in Hunan, he dropped out of school at 14 and became a mechanic in a repair shop. His hands were always covered in black oil, but he never gave up his dream. At 19, Zhang did something crazy. He rode an old motorcycle over 100 kilometers in the rain just to catch a TV reporter. He wanted to show his riding skills. His persistence (坚持) finally paid off. In 2024, Zhang started his own company in Chongqing. He put all his money into making powerful engines. Many people laughed at him, but he kept working hard. After winning the championship, Zhang made an unusual rule. He refused to sell his fast motorcycles to new riders with less than one year of experience. “Safety is more important than making money,” he said. Zhang’s story proves that with true love and hard work, an ordinary person can also stand on top of the world. 21. When did Zhang Xue Motor win the championship? A. In March 2025. B. In March 2026. C. In April 2026. D. In May 2026. 22. The word “mechanic” in Paragraph 2 most likely means ____.

He wants to sell fewer motorcycles. D. He doesn’t trust new riders. 25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To teach readers how to ride motorcycles. B. To explain how WSBK races work. C. To compare Chinese and Japanese motorcycles. D. To tell the story of Zhang Xue and his huge success. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C 24. B 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了张雪摩托车队在2026年WSBK夺冠，以及创始人张雪从山村少年逆袭成功的励志故事。 【21题详解】 第一段“On March 28-29, 2026, a Chinese motorcycle brand called “Zhang Xue Motor” won two races at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal.”表明，张雪摩托车队在2026年3月夺冠。 【22题详解】 划线词下文的“His hands were always covered in black oil”表明，张雪的手经常沾满黑色的机油，所以他是一个修车的人。 【23题详解】 第三段“He wanted to show his riding skills.”表明，张雪是为了追赶电视记者并展示他的车技。 【24题详解】 第五段“Safety is more important than making money”表明，张雪更注重新骑手的安全。 【25题详解】 本文讲述了张雪从山村少年逆袭成功的励志故事，D项符合文意。 C At first, I could hardly see anything. After moving down through dark, narrow caves, my eyes were not used to the light. But when I could focus again, I stood in surprise. “It’s a...sea,” I cried. “Yes, Axel,” my uncle said, “and I shall give it my name, as I discovered it!” There was a great lake or even an ocean. The shore was covered with small shells where the first living beings lived. Around this sea stood a huge rock wall. I could see far over this great sea because of a strange light. Not sunlight, of course, as we were deep below the surface. With its bright, clear whiteness, the light must have been electric. We kept quiet inside a cave that must have been several miles high. Human words cannot describe the discoveries of those who have been deep into the earth. My imagination was powerless before such wonders. I felt surprised and quite scared at the same time. However, the soft salty air cheered me up. After many days in much narrower spaces, it was a great relief. “Ready to walk a little now?” asked my uncle. “Yes, certainly.” “Well, let us follow the shore then,” he said, and we began to explore. Soon, in front of us appeared a forest with trees like umbrellas. “Mushrooms!” said my uncle. And he was right! There were mushrooms in their thousands, and each was at least nine metres high. How excellent they were! “Wonderful!” cried my uncle. “Now look under your feet.” I hadn’t noticed the many bones under our feet as we walked. Suddenly I thought, if once these monsters lived here, might some still walk through these dark forests? I looked around nervously, but we were the only living beings in this underworld. Thankfully! Finally, we returned to the cave we had entered from, and I went to sleep with strange thoughts. Where did this underground sea end? Where would we go? —Adapted from A Journey to the Centre of the Earth 26. Which of the following pictures can we add to the story? A. B. C. D. 27. Which of the following describes things the same way as the underlined sentence? A. The boy was so hungry that he could eat a horse. B. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. C. The girl was as brave as a lion when facing problems. D. She sells special and stylish seashells by the seashore. 28. What is the RIGHT order of the story? ① Axel and his uncle saw many mushrooms. ② Axel slept with strange thoughts. ③ Axel guessed that the light was electric. ④ Axel’s uncle discovered a great sea. ⑤ Axel and his uncle walked on the bones. A. ④③②①⑤ B. ④③①⑤② C. ③①②④⑤ D. ③①④⑤② 29. Why did Axel’s feelings change so many times during the journey? A. Because the underground world was too dark. B. Because he was unable to think in a clear way. C. Because he was so tired that he wanted to sleep. D. Because the journey was full of the unexpected. 30. What can we infer from the passage? A. The strange light came from the sun deep under the ground. B. The writer was completely fearless during the whole exploration. C. The writer’s uncle took pride in discovering the underground sea. D. They found many living monsters in the dark underground forest. 【答案】26. A 27. C 28. B 29. D 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《地心游记》，主要介绍了作者与叔叔在地下发现大海、蘑菇林及骨头后的奇妙探险经历。 【26题详解】 “Soon in front of us appeared a forest with trees like umbrellas. ‘Mushrooms!’ said my uncle...There were mushrooms in their thousands, and each was at least nine metres high.”表明，作者和叔叔看到了成片巨大的蘑菇，与选项A中出现巨型蘑菇的图片相符。 【27题详解】 划线句“trees like umbrellas”使用了明喻的修辞手法，把蘑菇树比作伞。结合选项可知，选项C“The girl was as brave as a lion when facing problems.”也用了明喻，把女孩比作狮子，和原句的修辞方式一致。 【28题详解】 根据第三段“‘Yes. Axel,’ my uncle said, ‘and I shall give it my name, as I discovered it!’”；第五段“With its bright, clear whiteness, the light must have been electric.”；倒数第五段“Soon in front of us appeared a forest with trees like umbrellas. ‘Mushrooms!’ said my uncle.”；倒数第三段“I hadn’t noticed the many bones under our feet as we walked.”以及倒数第二段“Finally, we returned to the cave we had entered from, and I went to sleep with strange thoughts.”可知，正确顺序是叔叔发现地下大海→Axel猜测那光是电光→他们看到巨大的蘑菇→他们走在骨骼上→Axel带着奇怪的想法入睡。即④③①⑤②。 【29题详解】 根据文中描述，Axel先看不清事物，进入洞穴后又见到奇异的光、巨大的海、伞状蘑菇树、地下骨头等诸多意外景象，因此他感受不断变化的原因是地下世界充满了意想不到的景象。 【30题详解】 叔叔的话“I shall give it my name, as I discovered it!”表明，他因发现这片海而自豪。 四、七选五 (10分) After years of planning, the final group of villagers from Jigkyob village, one of the highest in Xizang, have recently completed their relocation (搬迁).

Instead of working in big cities, they prefer to go to small towns or counties (县). This is quite a big change for them. In the past, like in 2018, only 20% of new graduates chose to work in smaller places. But by 2024, this number went up to 35%. Why did they make this change? The report gives us some reasons. Some graduates (毕业生) wanted to be closer to their families. They believed that people in small towns and counties were friendlier and always ready to help each other. Others had a dream to improve their hometown and make it a better place to live. What’s more, the government also encouraged (鼓励) graduates to work in these places by offering more job chances. Usually, most graduates in China want to work in big cities. But after a few months, some of them start to feel the pressure (压力) from high competition for jobs or high living costs. These problems make them worried, and they start thinking about going back home. The report also says that graduates feel happier and more relaxed after leaving big cities. In fact, nearly 60% of them stayed in their hometowns for at least five years. And their salaries (工资) also increased. In 2018, their average salary was 4,640 yuan, but by 2024, it went up to 5,877 yuan. Zhang Yi was a 27-year-old young man who chose to go back home. After graduating from the UK in 2023, he got a good job offer in a hospital in Shanghai, but he decided to stay in his hometown instead. He said, “I think my hometown needs me more, and I want to help people in my hometown to live a better life.” A change of ____56____ for graduates: big to small The facts * Many students like to work in small towns and counties ____57____ after finishing college. * The number of fresh graduates working in small places is ____58____ in six years.

But by 2024, this number went up to 35%.”表明，六年间在小地方工作的毕业生的人数正在“增长”，is后加现在分词，填rising。 【59题详解】 右栏所列都是毕业生毕业后去小地方工作的“原因”，填reasons。 【60题详解】 第二段“Some graduates (毕业生) wanted to be closer to their families.”表明，毕业生想要离家人“更近”，填closer。 【61题详解】 第二段“people in small towns and counties were friendlier and always ready to help each other”表明，小城镇和县的居民之间的“关系”是更好的，填relationship。 【62题详解】 第二段“the government also encouraged (鼓励) graduates to work in these places by offering more job chances”可知，地方政府“提供”更多的工作，后面“for”提示此处为“provide sth. for sb.”，主语为Local government，谓语动词用provides。 【63题详解】 第三段内容表明，在大城市工作有更大的压力，空处可以是导致、带来或意味着，即causes/brings/means，答案不唯一，合理即可。 【64题详解】 右栏是一个在小地方工作的人的“例子”，填example。 【65题详解】 最后一段“I think my hometown needs me more, and I want to help people in my hometown to live a better life.”表明，他想“帮助或支持”他的家乡，即help/support，与“帮助或支持”近义的其他词亦可。 八、综合填空 (15分) Cleaning Up the Past: Shenzhen’s Urban Surgery (城市手术) A big “super surgery” is going on in Shenzhen.

Unlike 68. spreading 69. lower 70. was developing##developed 71. Although##Though 72. leading 73. management 74. has changed 75. into 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了深圳开展的一项大型垃圾清理项目，该项目采用新技术处理旧垃圾填埋场，将污染场地改造为绿色空间，展现了城市对过往环境问题的纠正与科学治理。 【66题详解】 句意：现在，一项大型的全国性清理项目正在启动。“project”是可数名词单数，此处表示“一项”，且“large”以辅音音素开头，因此用不定冠词“a”。 【67题详解】 句意：与通常嘈杂的建筑工地不同，它采用新技术来避免给人们带来麻烦。根据语境，此处表达“不像、不同于”，“like”的反义词是“Unlike”（句首首字母大写）。 【68题详解】 句意：工人们用特殊的绿色网覆盖该区域，以防止灰尘和异味扩散。固定搭配“prevent…from doing sth.”（阻止……做某事），介词“from”后接动名词，因此“spread”变为“spreading”。 【69题详解】 句意：所有卡车都在隔音房内作业，将噪音降低到更低的水平。此处隐含“比平时更低”的对比含义，用形容词“low”的比较级“lower”。 【70题详解】 句意：那时，深圳正快速发展/发展迅速，而这个填埋场离市中心很远。“at that time”表示过去的某个时间段，用过去进行时“was developing”；也可用一般过去时“developed”表示过去的状态。 【71题详解】 句意：尽管多年前这里就被草覆盖了，但污染风险依然存在。前后句为转折让步关系，句首用连词“Although”或“Though”，表示“虽然、尽管”。 【72题详解】 句意：专家表示，该项目采用领先技术。此处需要形容词修饰名词“technology”，“lead”的形容词形式是“leading”，意为“领先的、主要的”。 【73题详解】 句意：它将城市的垃圾管理从简单填埋转变为科学处理。“waste”后需要名词，“manage”的名词形式是“management”，意为“管理”。 【74题详解】 句意：自清理工作开始以来，市中心这片宝贵的土地已经发生了很大变化。“since”引导的时间状语从句，主句用现在完成时，主语“land”是单数，因此填“has changed”。 【75题详解】 句意：这个项目不仅展示了现代城市如何纠正过去的错误，也告诉我们：如果我们共同行动，就能把一个被污染的地方变成一个美丽的绿色公园。固定搭配“turn…into…”（把……变成……），因此填介词“into”。 九、书面表达 (25分) 76. 为了宣传今年的“世界读书日”，你校英语社团将举行以 “Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life” 为主题的征文活动。请根据提示写一篇短文，介绍你对阅读的看法以及个人的阅读情况。 提示要点： - the importance of reading (get more knowledge...) - my reading habit (when, where, what...) - my favourite book (character, feeling...) 注意事项： 1. 短文须根据流程图自拟，要求语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意； 2. 流程图中括号部分为非限定性内容，仅供参考； 3. 词数在80个左右，短文的开头已给出，不计入总词数； 4. 短文中不得使用真实的个人姓名或学校名称； 5. 短文必须写在答题卡指定的位置上。 Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life Reading makes a full man.

When he was born, his legs were very weak. He couldn’t move or stand by himself. While other kids ran and played happily, Ma Jun could only sit on the stone steps and watch them.

B Zhang Xue Motor Makes History at World Championship On March 28-29, 2026, a Chinese motorcycle brand called “Zhang Xue Motor” won two races at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal. The French rider crossed the finish line nearly 4 seconds ahead of others. This was the first time a Chinese brand won this top-level race, breaking the long monopoly (垄断) of European and Japanese brands. The man behind this success is 39-year-old Zhang Xue. His story is like a movie. Born in a poor village in Hunan, he dropped out of school at 14 and became a mechanic in a repair shop. His hands were always covered in black oil, but he never gave up his dream. At 19, Zhang did something crazy. He rode an old motorcycle over 100 kilometers in the rain just to catch a TV reporter. He wanted to show his riding skills. His persistence (坚持) finally paid off. In 2024, Zhang started his own company in Chongqing. He put all his money into making powerful engines. Many people laughed at him, but he kept working hard. After winning the championship, Zhang made an unusual rule. He refused to sell his fast motorcycles to new riders with less than one year of experience. “Safety is more important than making money,” he said. Zhang’s story proves that with true love and hard work, an ordinary person can also stand on top of the world. 21. When did Zhang Xue Motor win the championship? A. In March 2025. B. In March 2026.

He wants to sell fewer motorcycles. D. He doesn’t trust new riders. 25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To teach readers how to ride motorcycles. B. To explain how WSBK races work. C. To compare Chinese and Japanese motorcycles. D. To tell the story of Zhang Xue and his huge success. C At first, I could hardly see anything. After moving down through dark, narrow caves, my eyes were not used to the light. But when I could focus again, I stood in surprise. “It’s a...sea,” I cried. “Yes, Axel,” my uncle said, “and I shall give it my name, as I discovered it!” There was a great lake or even an ocean. The shore was covered with small shells where the first living beings lived. Around this sea stood a huge rock wall. I could see far over this great sea because of a strange light. Not sunlight, of course, as we were deep below the surface. With its bright, clear whiteness, the light must have been electric. We kept quiet inside a cave that must have been several miles high. Human words cannot describe the discoveries of those who have been deep into the earth. My imagination was powerless before such wonders. I felt surprised and quite scared at the same time. However, the soft salty air cheered me up. After many days in much narrower spaces, it was a great relief. “Ready to walk a little now?” asked my uncle. “Yes, certainly.” “Well, let us follow the shore then,” he said, and we began to explore. Soon, in front of us appeared a forest with trees like umbrellas. “Mushrooms!” said my uncle. And he was right! There were mushrooms in their thousands, and each was at least nine metres high. How excellent they were! “Wonderful!” cried my uncle. “Now look under your feet.” I hadn’t noticed the many bones under our feet as we walked. Suddenly I thought, if once these monsters lived here, might some still walk through these dark forests? I looked around nervously, but we were the only living beings in this underworld. Thankfully! Finally, we returned to the cave we had entered from, and I went to sleep with strange thoughts. Where did this underground sea end? Where would we go? —Adapted from A Journey to the Centre of the Earth 26. Which of the following pictures can we add to the story? A. B. C. D. 27.

A. ④③②①⑤ B. ④③①⑤② C. ③①②④⑤ D. ③①④⑤② 29. Why did Axel’s feelings change so many times during the journey? A. Because the underground world was too dark. B. Because he was unable to think in a clear way. C. Because he was so tired that he wanted to sleep. D. Because the journey was full of the unexpected. 30. What can we infer from the passage? A. The strange light came from the sun deep under the ground. B. The writer was completely fearless during the whole exploration. C. The writer’s uncle took pride in discovering the underground sea. D. They found many living monsters in the dark underground forest. 四、七选五 (10分) After years of planning, the final group of villagers from Jigkyob village, one of the highest in Xizang, have recently completed their relocation (搬迁).
