A. shouldn’t B. mustn’t C. needn’t D. didn’t have to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：“你不得对我们大喊大叫！太吵了，”一个小个子男人生气地警告格列佛。 shouldn’t不应该；mustn’t不得，禁止；needn’t不需要；didn’t have to没有必要。根据句意“一个小个子男人生气地警告格列佛”，可知此处表示“不得”，应用mustn’t。 15. —I’ve prepared a new notebook for your English study. —________.

Failure (失败) always makes people sad. However, some studies have shown that failure is not a ____16____ thing. In fact, sometimes making proper mistakes can help us learn better. As for learning new things, 15 percent error rate (错误率) is the ____17____ . In one study, scientists asked computers to do ____18____ tasks, such as picking an odd (奇数的) or even (偶数的) number. They found the computers learned ____19____ when their error rate was 15 percent. If computers made too many mistakes, they couldn’t learn correctly. If they made few mistakes, they would learn nothing new. The rule also ____20____ for students. Teachers think students can learn better when they try to ____21____ proper tasks. Proper ones mean tasks that are a little challenging (挑战性的). Too hard tasks will ____22____ students to give up easily. Too easy tasks will make them learn nothing useful. The key is to find the proper ones between hard tasks and easy tasks. The 15 percent rule now goes well in real classrooms. It helps teachers design the proper tasks. ____23____ , it gives students an important lesson: Failure is a common thing. They don’t have to feel down if they aren’t 100 percent right ____24____ . They should realize that failure is the best teacher. Since failure is the best teacher, ____25____ can we do with it to succeed? We’ve probably heard the saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” In fact, just keeping trying is not enough. We should also find out what goes wrong and try to do better. In this way, we can turn failure into efforts and become successful! 16. A. good B. boring C. bad D. funny 17. A. opinion B. introduction C. record D. key 18. A. hard B. simple C. important D. ongoing 19. A. slowest B. best C. earliest D. worst 20. A. imagines B. explores C. works D. manages 21. A. copy B. cover C. complete D. change 22. A. allow B. cause C. tell D. warn 23. A. Instead B. However C. Still D. Moreover 24. A. in time B. on time C. all the time D. at that time 25. A. when B. what C. who D. where 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. B 20. C 21. C 22. B 23. D 24. C 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了失败并非坏事，适当犯错有助于学习，以及15%错误率学习法则对学生的启示，教导我们不必畏惧失败，要学会从失败中汲取经验、不断尝试的故事。 【16题详解】 句意：然而，一些研究表明失败并不是一件坏事。 前文提到没人喜欢失败，失败总是让人难过，此处用However表转折，后文也提到“适当犯错能帮我们学得更好”，因此此处应表达失败不是一件“坏的”事。 bad“坏的”符合语境，good“好的”、boring“无聊的”、funny“有趣的”均不符合转折后的语境。 【17题详解】 句意：对于学习新事物来说，15%的错误率是关键。 后文通过计算机实验说明，错误率为15%时学习效果最佳，因此此处指15%错误率是学习新事物的“关键/核心条件”。key“关键”符合语境，opinion“观点”、introduction“介绍”、record“记录”均不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：在一项研究中，科学家让计算机完成简单的任务，比如挑奇数或偶数。 “挑奇数或偶数”是简单的、基础的任务，因此此处应选表示“简单的”的词。simple“简单的”符合语境，hard“困难的”、important“重要的”、ongoing“持续的”均与例子描述的任务难度不符。 【19题详解】 句意：他们发现当错误率为15%时，计算机学得最好。 后文提到“错误太多学不好，错误太少学不到新东西”，因此15%错误率时学习效果是“最好的”。best“最好的”符合语境，slowest“最慢的”、earliest“最早的”、worst“最差的”均不符合逻辑。 【20题详解】 句意：这个规则对学生也适用。 前文讲了计算机的学习规律，此处说该规律对学生同样适用，works可表示“起作用、适用”，works“起作用；适用”符合语境，imagines“想象”、explores“探索”、manages“管理”均不符合文意。 【21题详解】 句意：老师认为学生在努力完成合适的任务时能学得更好。 complete tasks是固定搭配，意为“完成任务”，因此此处应选表示“完成”的词。complete“完成”符合语境，copy“复制”、cover“覆盖”、change“改变”均不符合搭配与语境。 【22题详解】 句意：太难的任务会导致学生轻易放弃。 cause sb. to do sth. 是固定搭配，意为“导致某人做某事”，符合“太难的任务”与“放弃”之间的因果逻辑。cause“导致”符合语境，allow“允许”、tell“告诉”、warn“警告”均不符合语境。 【23题详解】 句意：此外，它给学生上了重要的一课：失败是很常见的事。 前文提到 15% 规则能帮助老师设计合适的任务，后文又说它能给学生传递重要教训，二者是递进关系。Moreover“此外；而且” 符合语境，Instead “相反”、However “然而”、Still “仍然” 均不符合递进语境。 【24题详解】 句意：如果他们不是一直100%正确，也不必感到沮丧。 all the time意为“一直、总是”，符合“不必一直追求100%正确”的语境。all the time“一直；总是”符合语境，in time“及时”、on time“准时”、at that time“在那时”均不符合文意。 【25题详解】 句意：既然失败是最好的老师，我们能对它做些什么来取得成功呢？ what can we do with... 是固定句型，意为“我们能利用……做什么”，此处表示“我们能对失败做些什么来取得成功”。what“什么”符合语境，when“何时”、who“谁”、where“哪里”均不符合句型与语境。 四、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 A Egypt has many amazing historical places.

To get into the temple, walk along the Avenue (大道) of Sphinxes. This road was once 1.86 miles long and went from the Luxor Temple to the Temple of Karnak in the north. The New Gourna The New Gourna is a special village in Egypt. To protect Egypt’s cultural relics (文物), the government invited Hassan Fathy to design it from 1946 to 1952.

Slowly, they lost their fear of me. Sometimes the children even played hide-and-seek in my hair. One day, the king said to me, “Gulliver, I invite you to watch an important performance.” It was a competition called “Rope Dancing”. In the competition, a thin rope was tied between two poles (柱子) very high above the ground. People had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. “Your Majesty,” I said, “many dancers must fall and be hurt or killed.” “Yes,” he replied, “But I will give the best jobs in my kingdom to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest.” “What a strange way to choose the people who will work for the country!” I thought. Then, as the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief (手帕) to a strong stick, and pushed the four sticks into the ground. My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground. Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt. The king was very happy with my invention. His family and many other people watched the rope dancing. “Would you and the queen like to see better?” I asked the king. I gently put them on my hand and held them beside the rope. They had a good view of the dancers. A very skilled performer held on to the rope and flipped (翻转) his body right over it. The king and the queen clapped loudly and cheered. Later the king told me that he made this man one of his main helpers. The king and I met often. He seemed to enjoy our conversations. One day, I said again, “Your Majesty, please set me free.” This time he answered, “I have talked to my helpers. We agree that you have been good to our people…” —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 29.

He put them on his hand and held them beside the rope gently. C. He tied a thin rope between two poles very high above the ground. D.

Being kind and helpful can win people’s trust. C. Big people are always stronger than small ones. D. We can sometimes play dangerous sports for fun. 【答案】29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《格列佛游记》，讲述了格列佛在小人国的经历，他通过友善的举动赢得了国王的信任，并为自己争取自由创造了条件。 【29题详解】 根据文中第五段“Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt.”可知，格列佛把手帕放在绳子下面，是为了防止舞者受伤。 【30题详解】 根据文中第六段“‘Would you and the queen like to see better?’ I asked the king. I gently put them on my hand and held them beside the rope.” 可知，格列佛为了让国王和王后看得更清楚，轻轻地把他们放在自己手上，举到绳子旁边。 【31题详解】 通读全文可知，格列佛为了获得自由，一直对小人国的人很友善，还主动发明装置保护舞者、帮助国王和王后更好地观看表演，最终国王和大臣们认可了他的善意。由此可以看出，善良和乐于助人能赢得他人的信任。 C The 2026 Spring Festival Gala has brought a big surprise to the world.

Here are some tips for making better conversations. Listen carefully and show interest in others. ____37____ To be a good listener, you should find something to ask questions about. For example, when someone tells you his or her hobby, you can ask questions about it. Then he or she will be happy to continue the conversation. Choose the right topic. Some of the best topics might be the weather, sports, music, films, food, or travel. However, it is impolite to ask someone’s age, weight, or other personal (个人的) information. Also, if you don’t agree with others, don’t argue (争论) with them. ____38____ Be honest and nice. If you have no idea of the topic, just say “I don’t know much about it.” If you want to make someone happy, mention his or her strong points. Don’t pretend (假装) to be nice. ____39____ That will make your conversation meaningless. ____40____ Sometimes it is just as important as your words. Don’t be nervous.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu It is the largest and most northern of the three famous pyramids at Giza, in Cairo. It is also the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World still standing today. As the biggest pyramid in the world, it is amazing because of its huge size and wonderful building precision (精确). It was designed by Khufu’s cousin, Hemon. At first, the pyramid was 482 feet tall and each of its four sides was 755 feet long. The Luxor Temple The Luxor Temple is an ancient temple. It sits on the east bank of the Nile River. It was built for the gods — Amun, his wife Mut and their son Chons. The oldest parts of the temple we can see today are from 1408 B.C. To get into the temple, walk along the Avenue (大道) of Sphinxes. This road was once 1.86 miles long and went from the Luxor Temple to the Temple of Karnak in the north. The New Gourna The New Gourna is a special village in Egypt. To protect Egypt’s cultural relics (文物), the government invited Hassan Fathy to design it from 1946 to 1952. It was for villagers to move into. Hassan used cheap local mud bricks and traditional skills to keep the houses cool. Although the project was never finished, the New Gourna became world-famous. It sets a great example of a comfortable, cheap and environment-friendly village. 26. Who designed The Great Pyramid of Khufu? A. Khufu B. Chons C. Hemon D. Hassan Fathy 27. What can we learn about the Luxor Temple? A. It was built for the god — Amun. B. Its oldest parts date back to 1408 B.C. C. It lies on the west bank of the Nile River. D. We can walk along the Temple of Karnak to get into it. 28. According to the introduction to the New Gourna, we can know ________ . A. it was completely finished in 1952 B. it was for ancient kings to move into C. it sets a good example of green villages D. it was made of expensive modern materials B I hoped to be set free one day, so I was nice to the Lilliputians. Slowly, they lost their fear of me. Sometimes the children even played hide-and-seek in my hair. One day, the king said to me, “Gulliver, I invite you to watch an important performance.” It was a competition called “Rope Dancing”. In the competition, a thin rope was tied between two poles (柱子) very high above the ground. People had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. “Your Majesty,” I said, “many dancers must fall and be hurt or killed.” “Yes,” he replied, “But I will give the best jobs in my kingdom to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest.” “What a strange way to choose the people who will work for the country!” I thought. Then, as the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief (手帕) to a strong stick, and pushed the four sticks into the ground. My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground. Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt. The king was very happy with my invention. His family and many other people watched the rope dancing. “Would you and the queen like to see better?” I asked the king. I gently put them on my hand and held them beside the rope. They had a good view of the dancers. A very skilled performer held on to the rope and flipped (翻转) his body right over it. The king and the queen clapped loudly and cheered. Later the king told me that he made this man one of his main helpers. The king and I met often. He seemed to enjoy our conversations. One day, I said again, “Your Majesty, please set me free.” This time he answered, “I have talked to my helpers. We agree that you have been good to our people…” —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 29. Why did Gulliver put his handkerchief under the rope? A. To make the rope higher. B. To make the game more difficult. C. To help the dancers avoid getting hurt. D. To win a high position in the kingdom. 30. What did Gulliver do to help the king and the queen see better? A. He flipped his body over the rope. B. He put them on his hand and held them beside the rope gently. C. He tied a thin rope between two poles very high above the ground. D. He tied the handkerchief to four sticks and put them into the ground. 31. What can we learn from Gulliver’s experience in the passage? A. It is easy to get a good job by rope dancing. B. Being kind and helpful can win people’s trust. C. Big people are always stronger than small ones. D. We can sometimes play dangerous sports for fun. C The 2026 Spring Festival Gala has brought a big surprise to the world. Humanoid robots (人形机器人) became the real stars of the night. In the past, robots moved slowly and often fell down. But this time, they did great Chinese kung fu. They jumped high and moved powerfully. They showed the spirit of Chinese kung fu very well. It was a beautiful mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology, making old Chinese culture new again with high technology. The wonderful show made hundreds of millions of people happy. It also told the world that China’s robot industry is quickly moving from labs to real life. Today, these smart robots work in many places: modern factories, restaurants, hospitals and so on. They can cook simple food, check product quality and help save lives in dangerous places like fires and earthquakes. What’s more, Chinese companies can make many robots at a low price, so more common people can use them. During the Spring Festival, Chinese robots also appeared in public places from the Middle East to North America. They performed and communicated with people, letting the world see how strong China’s robot technology is. Many foreigners said, “China is a leader in technology.” “We are looking forward to visiting China this year and sharing this technology with other developing countries.” As we enter 2026, Chinese culture and robot technology keep making new progress. Chinese robots are not only machines but also cultural messengers (使者). This mix of culture and technology helps the world know China better.
