答案解析
11. 句意:他去那里给住在那里的老人读故事。根据后文带故事书为老人阅读,用 read;write 写、make 制作、tell 讲述均不符合语境。
12. 句意:这件事始于汤姆注意到邻居格林先生常常独自坐着神情落寞的时候。when 当…… 时候,符合时间语境;until 直到、before 在…… 之前、after 在…… 之后逻辑不符。
13. 句意:于是汤姆每周开始去看望他,带上最喜欢的故事书为老人朗读。read 朗读符合文意;wait 等待、pay 支付、ask 询问均不贴合句意。
14. 句意:很快,汤姆开始定期去养老院。由开头每周六都去可知是定期前往,regularly 定期地;quietly 安静地、carefully 认真地、suddenly 突然地不符合语境。

17. 句意:老人们总是期盼着汤姆的到来。look forward to 是固定短语,意为 “期待”;其余选项无法构成固定搭配。
18. 句意:他意识到自己的到访给老人们带来了极大的快乐。由老人面带笑容可知是带来欢乐 joy;money 金钱、news 消息、trouble 麻烦均不符合。

20. 句意:他们一个接一个同意在周六和汤姆一起去。agree to do 同意做某事,契合加入活动的语境;refused 拒绝、continued 继续、forgot 忘记均不符。
21. 句意:虽然汤姆只是一个 12 岁的男孩,却改变了全班同学过周末的方式。前后为让步关系,用 Although 虽然引导。
22. 句意:我从未想过一个小小的决定能发展成这么大的事情。grow into 发展成为;get into 进入、look into 调查、turn into 变成,结合语境选 grow into。

Rules in the art museum
Please help protect works of art on show in the art museum by carefully following the rules listed below. We hope that you can keep these valuable works of art safe so that they may be enjoyed by more people!
Do not touch works of art.
Your touch, even the slightest touch, can damage (损坏) the surface of a painting. Oil and dust from your hands may leave permanent marks over time, ruining pieces that have survived for centuries.
No leaning on walls or cases.
This simple rule helps keep works of art hung on the walls or displayed in glass cases safe. If you feel tired, feel free to sit on the benches or the floor as you talk, write or draw.
No food or drink.
Both are strictly forbidden inside the art museum. Spills and bread crumbs can quickly destroy works of art, while strong smells may also affect the preservation of delicate materials. The works of art themselves will provide plenty of “food” for your thoughts as well as your eyes!
Photography is usually not allowed.
Photography is usually not allowed. You can only take photos after filling out a photo release form at the Visitor Services Desk. Even then, only works of art owned by Dartmouth College can be photographed. No flash photography is allowed because the light may damage the paintings.

Liam: I started doing that six years ago because I wanted to help people in need.

In the first week, the challenge was to do something to help those homeless people. I said, “Dad, why don’t we make lunches for those hungry people on the roadside?” Then we made sandwiches and went out with our wagon (小推车). Then lunches went very quickly.
Reporter: What do you think is the most valuable part of doing this?
Liam: Life needs a little kindness, and the things I did helped others a lot and made me feel very proud.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了16岁的利亚姆·汉农六年前开始为饥饿的人分发免费午餐,在朋友和热心人士的帮助下,他现在每月分发三次午餐,并通过采访分享了自己的经历、感受和建议。
30.第一段明确提到“Liam Hannon is 16 now. He started to hand out free lunches to people who were hungry six years ago”,16减去6等于10,因此利亚姆开始分发免费午餐时是10岁。
31.结合上下文,利亚姆被问及做这件事最“valuable”的部分,他回答“Life needs a little kindness, and the things I did helped others a lot and made me feel very proud”(生活需要一点善意,我做的事情帮了别人很多,也让我感到非常自豪),由此可推断“valuable”意为“宝贵的”。
32.最后一段利亚姆的建议明确提到“Do something you enjoy. And ask your friends to join you”,即做自己喜欢的事情,并邀请朋友加入,与选项“To do something enjoyable and ask friends to join in it”一致。

A volunteer experience
It was March 2018. I was finishing high school. While I was looking forward to my college years, I also felt a strong desire to volunteer abroad. After weeks of serious consideration, I decided to have a gap year (间隔年).
I cannot tell you how many hours I spent trying to find the programme I was most interested in. I contacted many volunteer organizations. In the end, I signed up with “African Impact”. I wanted to make an impact (影响)—no matter how small—on Africa and its people.
I took part in the Child Care Project. We worked in an orphanage (孤儿院) in Cape Town (开普敦) and spent time with a group of orphans (孤儿) between the ages of 0 and 3. There was nothing as exciting as seeing a baby taking her first steps, hearing a two-year-old girl repeat all of the letters in the alphabet after I said them, seeing a little boy kick or catch balls of different sizes, and watching all of the kids carefully wash their hands as it became a habit. These were the skills that I watched the children develop during my time there. My heart was filled with pride.
I also took part in the Teaching Project and worked in a preschool. Teaching was more tiring. Some children were naughty. They didn’t always listen to me. But it’s hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them.
Volunteering in Cape Town changed my life. It has changed who I am as a person. I cannot be more grateful for this amazing experience
34.What organization did the author sign up with after lots of consideration?
A.African Impact. B.Teaching Project.
C.Homeless Care Project. D.Volunteering in Cape Town.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The author didn’t think a lot before going to Africa.
B.The author didn’t get on well with the students in the preschool.
C.The author was very satisfied with his or her teaching in the preschool.
D.The author looked forward to studying at a good college in Africa.
36.What does the author think of the volunteering experience?
A.Exciting but boring. B.Meaningful and amazing.
C.Tiring and useless. D.Interesting but very hard.
【答案】34.A 35.C 36.B
【导语】本文讲述作者高中毕业选择间隔年赴非洲做志愿者,参与儿童关爱与教学项目并收获成长与感悟。
34.第二段介绍:“In the end, I signed up with ‘African Impact’”,作者经过多方联系后报名了这家机构。
35.第四段说明:“But it’s hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them”,能看出作者对自己的教学经历很满意。
36.最后一段介绍:“Volunteering in Cape Town changed my life…I cannot be more grateful for this amazing experience”,体现出作者认为此次志愿经历有意义且十分美好。

五、阅读短文,回答问题。(共4小题;前3小题每题2分,第4小题3分;满分9分)
September is a big month for students in China since the new term begins from now on. In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony (入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies.
Children began school between the ages of 4-7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study.
In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher.
On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect (尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student.
Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination (科举考试).
Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning.
41.What did parents prepare for children to enter school in ancient China?
42.Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony?
43.What would children do during the First Writing Ceremony?
44.What do you think of the school entrance ceremony? And why?
【答案】41. Desks, chairs and four treasures of the study. 42.To show their deep respect. 43.They would ring a certain bell to start a new term. 44. It’s important. Because it means that students take a step in the lifelong journey of learning from that moment.
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国古代最重要的仪式之一——入学典礼,包括入学年龄、准备事项、仪式过程等。
41. 根据第二段第三句提到了父母需要为孩子入学准备的东西:“Next , parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study.”
42. 根据第四段第二句“Before that, children would kowtow to the statue of Confucius 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect.”可知叩头的原因。
43. 根据第四段第四句“Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term.”可知孩子们在开笔礼期间的行为。
44.本题是开放性试题,答案不唯一,但观点需结合文中事实。结合文章内容和自己对“入学仪式”的看法、理由,合理作答即可。

June: Take 51 gesture “come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up. But in Southern Europe, that gesture means goodbye. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is rude, which 52 (show) no respect to others. In fact, people there gesture with the palm down.

【导语】本文以采访June Galloway的形式,探讨了不同文化中手势和肢体语言的含义差异,强调了了解这些差异以避免误解的重要性。
45.句意:我们采访了June Galloway关于她的新书《迈出正确第一步:别让错误手势毁了你的这一天》。修饰名词“book”,需用形容词性物主代词“her”,表示“她的”。
46.句意:在您的书中,用手势交流得到了很多关注。主语“communicating with gestures”与谓语动词“pay”之间为被动关系,句子描述客观事实,应用一般现在时的被动语态,结构为“is + 过去分词”。pay的过去分词为paid。
47.句意:你认为友好的行为在另一种文化中可能被认为是不礼貌的。根据句意,友好变不礼貌,需用“polite”的反义词“impolite”,意为“不礼貌的”。
48.句意:如果/当我的读者遇到来自不同文化的人时,他们不会迈错第一步。可用“If”引导条件状语从句,表示“如果”;也可用“When”引导时间状语从句,表示“当……时候”。两者均符合语境,句首首字母需大写。
49.句意:有人会因为错误的问候而严重误解他人吗?修饰动词“misunderstand”,需用副词形式作状语。“serious”的副词形式为“seriously”,意为“严重地”。
50.句意:而某些国家常见的轻握手,对北美人来说似乎不友好。“be unfriendly to”是固定搭配,意为“对……不友好”,需用介词“to”。
51.句意:以“过来”这个手势为例。“the gesture”特指前文提到的“come here”这个手势,需用定冠词“the”。
52.句意:手掌朝上的手势是粗鲁的,这表现出对他人的不尊重。定语从句中,主语“which”指代前文提到的这个手势,为第三人称单数,句子描述客观事实,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式shows。
53.句意:我相信有些手势是通用的,比如竖起大拇指表示“很棒”。根据句意,此处表示“手势”,且“common”后需用可数名词复数形式“gestures”表示泛指。
54.句意:这就是为什么了解肢体语言和文化差异很重要。“It is + 形容词 + to do sth.”是固定句型,其中“it”为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语,此处应填动词不定式to know。

Rules in the art museum
Please help protect works of art on show in the art museum by carefully following the rules listed below. We hope that you can keep these valuable works of art safe so that they may be enjoyed by more people!
Do not touch works of art.
Your touch, even the slightest touch, can damage (损坏) the surface of a painting. Oil and dust from your hands may leave permanent marks over time, ruining pieces that have survived for centuries.
No leaning on walls or cases.
This simple rule helps keep works of art hung on the walls or displayed in glass cases safe. If you feel tired, feel free to sit on the benches or the floor as you talk, write or draw.
No food or drink.
Both are strictly forbidden inside the art museum. Spills and bread crumbs can quickly destroy works of art, while strong smells may also affect the preservation of delicate materials. The works of art themselves will provide plenty of “food” for your thoughts as well as your eyes!
Photography is usually not allowed.
Photography is usually not allowed. You can only take photos after filling out a photo release form at the Visitor Services Desk. Even then, only works of art owned by Dartmouth College can be photographed. No flash photography is allowed because the light may damage the paintings.
Thank you for following these rules to help keep the works of art safe!

A volunteer experience
It was March 2018. I was finishing high school. While I was looking forward to my college years, I also felt a strong desire to volunteer abroad. After weeks of serious consideration, I decided to have a gap year (间隔年).
I cannot tell you how many hours I spent trying to find the programme I was most interested in. I contacted many volunteer organizations. In the end, I signed up with “African Impact”. I wanted to make an impact (影响)—no matter how small—on Africa and its people.
I took part in the Child Care Project. We worked in an orphanage (孤儿院) in Cape Town (开普敦) and spent time with a group of orphans (孤儿) between the ages of 0 and 3. There was nothing as exciting as seeing a baby taking her first steps, hearing a two-year-old girl repeat all of the letters in the alphabet after I said them, seeing a little boy kick or catch balls of different sizes, and watching all of the kids carefully wash their hands as it became a habit. These were the skills that I watched the children develop during my time there. My heart was filled with pride.
I also took part in the Teaching Project and worked in a preschool. Teaching was more tiring. Some children were naughty. They didn’t always listen to me. But it’s hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them.
Volunteering in Cape Town changed my life. It has changed who I am as a person. I cannot be more grateful for this amazing experience
34.What organization did the author sign up with after lots of consideration?
A.African Impact. B.Teaching Project.
C.Homeless Care Project. D.Volunteering in Cape Town.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

C.The author was very satisfied with his or her teaching in the preschool.
D.The author looked forward to studying at a good college in Africa.

A.Exciting but boring. B.Meaningful and amazing.
C.Tiring and useless. D.Interesting but very hard.

Ode to the Flower Gods was a highlight of the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. It connects ancient beauty with modern stage art perfectly. It presents the traditional culture of the Twelve Flower Gods in a fresh and modern way.
The show follows the 12 lunar months. Each month is represented by a flower and a famous historical figure. 37 They are chosen for their close connections with the flowers in classic stories and poems.
38 For example, the first month’s plum blossom matches Lin Bu’s quiet nobility. The sixth month’s lotus stands for Zhou Dunyi’s purity. The ninth month’s chrysanthemum goes well with Tao Yuanming’s peaceful spirit.
The performance uses elegant stage design and body language. 39 No words are needed, because the beauty speaks for itself.
Thanks to the gala, the ancient culture has become popular again. 40 It helps more people, especially young people, discover the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
A.Actors do not speak in the show.
B.It is performed by a group of talented actors.

五、阅读短文,回答问题。(共4小题;前3小题每题2分,第4小题3分;满分9分)
September is a big month for students in China since the new term begins from now on. In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony (入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies.
Children began school between the ages of 4-7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study.
In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher.
On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect (尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student.
Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination (科举考试).
Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning.
41.What did parents prepare for children to enter school in ancient China?
42.Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony?
43.What would children do during the First Writing Ceremony?
44.What do you think of the school entrance ceremony? And why?
六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We interviewed June Galloway about 45 (she) new book Get Off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture Ruin Your Day.
★ In your book, communicating with gestures 46 (pay) much attention to. Why is it so important?
June: Well, gestures and other body language have different meanings in different places. What you consider friendly can be thought 47 (polite) in another culture. I’ve described many of such cultural differences in my book. 48 my readers meet people from different cultures, they won’t get off on the wrong foot.
★ Can someone 49 (serious) misunderstand others because of a wrong greeting?
June: In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem rude in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—seems unfriendly 50 a North American.
★ What other gestures can cause misunderstanding?
June: Take 51 gesture “come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up. But in Southern Europe, that gesture means goodbye. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is rude, which 52 (show) no respect to others. In fact, people there gesture with the palm down.
★ I believe there are common 53 (gesture) used everywhere, right? Like the thumbs-up gesture for “great”?
June: Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important 54 (know) about body language and cultural differences.
