It is one of the most famous mountains in China. Its highest point is Dahanyang Peak, reaching 1,474 metres above sea level. In 1996, Mount Lu became a UNESCO World Heritage Site (联合国教科文组织世界遗产). The Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed From Afar -by Li Bai The sunlit Censer Peak exhales incenselike cloud; Like an upended stream the cataract sounds loud. Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high; As if the Silver River fell from the blue sky. Li Bai was in his 50s when he wrote the poem above. He lived on Mount Lu and was amazed by the beauty of the Censer Peak (香炉峰). This poem shows his love for nature. As the title tells us, the poet was looking at the mountain from far away. The mountain peak looks like an incense burner and the clouds and mist (雾气) are like smoke rising from it . A waterfall hangs above the rivers that it falls into. The first two lines describe this scenery. In the last two lines, the poet gets more creative. The word “torrent (飞流)”, tells us that the waterfall is powerful and flowing fast from the peak. But it could be even higher than 3,000 feet (chi)—it could be part of the “Silver River”, also known as Milky Way (银河). The idea of comparing the waterfall on earth to the Milky Way in the sky made this poem famous in its time. Su Shi once praised the poem. He said, “Li Bai is the only person in history to write such a good poem about a waterfall.” Li Bai lets readers imagine that the waterfall hangs down from the clouds. If you visit Mount Lu yourself, you might understand why Li wrote this poem. 26. What do we know about Mount Lu from the first paragraph? A. It is the highest mountain in China, located in South Jiangxi. B. It is a famous mountain in North Jiangxi and a World Heritage Site. C. It became famous because Li Bai wrote a poem about its waterfall. 27. What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A. The mountain peak. B. An incense burner. C. A waterfall. 28. What made the poem The Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed From Afar famous in its time according to the passage? A. Its writer measured the height of the waterfall, which is 3,000 feet. B. Its writer was the first poet to describe the Censer Peak as an incense burner. C. Its writer used a creative idea, comparing the waterfall to the Milky Way in the sky. 29. Why does the writer speak of Su Shi? A. To discuss the history of Chinese poems. B. To show what a good poem Li Bai wrote. C. To compare Li Bai’s poems with Su Shi's. 30. What’s the passage mainly about? A. It explains how Li Bai shows his love for nature. B. It describes the geography of Jiangxi province in detail. C. It introduces a famous mountain and a great poem about it. 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. C 29. B 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了江西名山庐山的地理概况，展示了李白的经典名诗《望庐山瀑布》，并对其艺术手法及历史评价进行了赏析。 【26题详解】 第一段提到：“Mount Lu is located in the northern part of Jiangxi province…In 1996, Mount Lu became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.”。这明确指出庐山位于江西北部且是世界文化遗产。 【27题详解】 第四段提到：“The mountain peak looks like an incense burner and the clouds and mist (雾气) are like smoke rising from it.”。此处包含一组并列的明喻结构：山峰被比作“香炉”，云雾被比作“烟”。为了保持比喻意象的逻辑一致性，既然云雾被看作烟，那么烟升起的地方应对应比喻意象中的“香炉”。故“it”指代前文的an incense burner。 【28题详解】 第六段提到：“The idea of comparing the waterfall on earth to the Milky Way in the sky made this poem famous in its time.”。文中明确指出，将瀑布比作银河这一富有想象力的创意是该诗在当时成名的原因。 【29题详解】 第六段提到苏轼曾评价道：“…Li Bai is the only person in history to write such a good poem about a waterfall.”。作者引用苏轼这位文学大师的赞美，是为了证明李白这首诗写得非常出色。 【30题详解】 文章第一段介绍了庐山的地理位置及荣誉，随后展示并赏析了描写该山瀑布的千古名篇。选项C“介绍了一座名山及关于它的一首伟大的诗”最能高度概括文章的中心思想。 C Looking out from the Fendouzhe submersible (潜水器), Du Mengran saw something very unusual. Under the submersible’s lights, some hairy bristleworms (多毛刺毛虫)swam slowly among fields of blood-red tubeworms (管状蠕虫). Du and her team explore the hadal zone (海沟带). At the moment, the team was at the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, northeast of Japan. Here, over nine kilometres under the sea, Du discovered the deepest-known ecosystem with living animals on the planet. This discovery (发现) landed her a place on the 2025 “Nature’s 10” list. As we know, most life on earth depends on sunlight. But the ecosystem in the hadal zone works differently. At such depths, there is little sunlight. The bristleworms, tubeworms, and other animals get energy from special chemicals on the ocean floor. Before Du’s work, no one saw these animals in such detail. Several kinds may even be new to science. The discovery made Du and her team decide to do more dives in areas that are close by. In the southern Pacific Ocean, the team found similar ecosystems. In the complete darkness, six kilometers under the sea, there may be a totally separate food web (食物网). The space inside the Fendouzhe submersible measures just 1.8 metres wide. Many people would never want to enter such a small space or stay inside it for hours. But Du feels excited every time she steps inside. She compares the submersible to a time machine that opens doors to unknown worlds. What other secrets lie in the dark depths of the ocean? Du and her team are working to find out. 31. Why did Du Mengran think what she saw outside the Fendouzhe submersible “unusual”? A. She didn’t expect to see life at such depths. B. Nobody before her knew the colours of tubeworms. C. Bristleworms and tubeworms were new to science. 32. Where did Du Mengran make her discovery of a deep-sea ecosystem? A. In the hadal zone, about six kilometers below the ocean surface. B. At the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, northeast of Japan. C. In the southern Pacific Ocean, about nine kilometers under the sea. 33. How do animals like bristleworms survive in the hadal zone according to the passage? A. They rely on the sunlight that reaches the deep sea. B. They feed on plants that grow under the sea. C. They get energy from special chemicals on the ocean floor. 34. Why do many people not want to enter the Fendouzhe submersible according to the writer? A. Because it usually dives very deep. B. Because the space inside is small. C. Because it is completely dark inside. 35. What are Du and her team going to do? A. Dive into the southern Pacific Ocean for the first time. B. Stop diving to the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. C. Continue exploring the unknown in the depths of the sea. 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. C 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了海洋科学家杜梦然乘坐“奋斗者”号潜水器，在日本东北部千岛-堪察加海沟9000多米深处发现了已知最深的海洋生态系统，介绍了深海生物的生存方式，并提到她和团队将继续探索海洋深处的未知秘密。 【31题详解】 根据第二段中“Du discovered the deepest-known ecosystem with living animals on the planet.”以及第三段提到此处几乎没有阳光，生命存在方式不同，可知她觉得“不寻常”是因为没想到在如此深的海底会有生命存在。 【32题详解】 根据第二段第二句“At the moment, the team was at the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, northeast of Japan.”可知发现地点。 【33题详解】 根据第三段最后一句“The bristleworms, tubeworms, and other animals get energy from special chemicals on the ocean floor.”可知生存方式。 【34题详解】 根据第五段第二句“Many people would never want to enter such a small space or stay inside it for hours.”可知原因是空间狭小。 【35题详解】 根据文章最后一段“What other secrets lie in the dark depths of the ocean? Du and her team are working to find out.”可知他们将继续探索深海未知领域。 B 卷 (共50分) 一、短文填空。 (共10小题；每小题1分，计10分)。 从下面方框中选出10个单词，将其正确形式填入短文，使短文意思正确、通顺 (每词限用一次)。 another curious enter everybody fame health locate nature pain plenty some travel Songshan Mountain is one of China’s Five Great Mountains and a place of deep historical and cultural importance. ___36___ in Henan province, it is a great centre for Taoism (道教) learning and kungfu.

D 47. A 48. B 49. F 50. E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了乘车时玩手机导致晕车的原因，并提供了缓解晕车的实用方法，帮助人们更好地应对运动不适。 【46题详解】 前文提到“晕车是因为大脑接收到混合信号”，后文说明“但你的眼睛盯着静止的手机屏幕，这种不匹配导致了不适”。D项“Your inner ear, which helps with balance, senses the car’s movement.”承接前文的“混合信号”，解释了内耳感知运动、眼睛看到静止画面的信号冲突，与上下文衔接紧密。 【47题详解】 后文提到“然而，司机通常不会晕车，因为他们看着道路并需要及时转弯，所以眼睛和平衡系统接收到匹配的信号”。A项“This feeling is often worse for passengers.”作为段落总起句，引出乘客比司机更容易晕车的对比，与下文解释司机不晕车的原因形成呼应，逻辑连贯。 【48题详解】 前文提到“虽然有些手机有相关应用，但最好的解决方法很简单”，后文开始介绍缓解晕车的具体建议。B项“Here are the most helpful tips from health experts.”引出下文的健康专家建议，起到承上启下的过渡作用，符合语境。 【49题详解】 前文提到“选择一个好座位”，后文介绍了缓解晕车的其他方法。F项“Sit in the front seat of a car or in the middle of a boat, where the sense of motion is less noticeable.”承接前文的“选座位”建议，具体说明应选择哪里的座位，与上下文衔接自然。 【50题详解】 后文提到“了解晕车的原因有助于我们更好地应对，通过简单改变视线和座位，我们就能享受更舒适的旅程”。E项“If these ways don’t work, you can also ask doctors for more effective means.”补充说明如果这些方法无效，可以寻求医生的帮助，与前文的建议和后文的总结相呼应，收束全文。 三、阅读表达。（共 10小题，计20分） A. 完成图表。（共5小题；每小题2分，计10 分） 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成表格信息，并将答案写到答题卡上相应的位置。 How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of the class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy? Shyness means feeling nervous or afraid when you’re around other people. Experts have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. Some kids were born shy. Some become shy later because of their experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel like yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill. Some are afraid of meeting strangers, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are quieter and clever because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at getting on with others because they think more about other people. Some great people in history were shy, too. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good chances (机会) pass by because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of. Topic: Shyness ____51____ You feel nervous or afraid when you are around others. Reasons Other people are paying attention to you. You have been shy since you were born. Some become shy later because of their ____52____. Effects Bad effects Your face will turn ____53____. You talk in broken sentences. You are afraid to meet new people. Good effects You are quieter and smarter. You can get on ____54____ with others. Advice You should not ____55____ good chances because of being shy. 【答案】51. Meaning##Definition 52. experiences 53. red 54. well 55. miss 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述害羞的含义、原因、影响以及建议等。 【51题详解】 文章第二段开头指出“Shyness means feeling nervous or afraid when you’re around other people.”，说明害羞是在其他人周围时的感受，因此第一空询问害羞的含义或定义，应填“Meaning”或“Definition”。 【52题详解】 第二段提到“Some become shy later because of their experiences.”，即有些人后来变得害羞是因为他们的经历，因此第二空填“experiences”。 【53题详解】 第四段提到“Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy.”，即大多数人害羞时脸会变红，因此第三空填“red”。 【54题详解】 第五段提到“Shy people are also good at getting on with others because they think more about other people.”，即害羞的人也善于与他人相处，因为他们更多考虑他人，“get on well with sb.”表示“与某人相处得好”，故第四空填“well”。 【55题详解】 最后一段提到“But remember not to let good chances (机会) pass by because of it!”，即不要因为害羞而让好机会溜走，因此第五空填“miss”。 B. 任务型阅读。(共5小题；每小题2分，计10分) 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Most visitors go to Dunhuang, Gansu Province, because of the famous Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟). However, travel-lover Deng Zhangyu decided to do something different. At the end of last summer, he headed west into the Gobi Desert to explore its history, nature and culture. Deng’s first stop was the Yumen Pass, an important gateway on the Silk Road. People built it during the Western Han Dynasty, and even now, its remains are still standing against wind and sand. Deng climbed onto the ruins (遗迹) and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. He couldn’t help but imagine the ancient businessmen with their camels’ bells ringing and the people who once stood guard (保卫) there. Next, he visited the ruins of Hecang City. They lie in a lowland area, so visitors can hardly find them without a local guide’s help. In the evening, Deng went to the Dunhuang Yardang National Geopark. It is known as “Devil City (魔鬼城)” because of the sound of the wind. At night, he enjoyed the amazing night sky, and countless stars shone brightly over the quiet desert. The next day, Deng went to Dunhuang’s famous Shazhou Night Market with some local friends. They tried local delicious food like grilled lamb skewers (烤羊肉串) and grilled fish. There were also performers dressed in ancient clothes dancing along the street. Besides the food and performances, the night market’s restroom also surprised Deng. According to his friends, visitors often take photos inside it. Deng’s short trip was full of wonderful experiences, letting him find a rich mix of history, nature, and culture in Dunhuang. 56.

Its highest point is Dahanyang Peak, reaching 1,474 metres above sea level. In 1996, Mount Lu became a UNESCO World Heritage Site (联合国教科文组织世界遗产). The Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed From Afar -by Li Bai The sunlit Censer Peak exhales incenselike cloud; Like an upended stream the cataract sounds loud. Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high; As if the Silver River fell from the blue sky. Li Bai was in his 50s when he wrote the poem above. He lived on Mount Lu and was amazed by the beauty of the Censer Peak (香炉峰). This poem shows his love for nature. As the title tells us, the poet was looking at the mountain from far away. The mountain peak looks like an incense burner and the clouds and mist (雾气) are like smoke rising from it . A waterfall hangs above the rivers that it falls into. The first two lines describe this scenery. In the last two lines, the poet gets more creative. The word “torrent (飞流)”, tells us that the waterfall is powerful and flowing fast from the peak. But it could be even higher than 3,000 feet (chi)—it could be part of the “Silver River”, also known as Milky Way (银河). The idea of comparing the waterfall on earth to the Milky Way in the sky made this poem famous in its time. Su Shi once praised the poem. He said, “Li Bai is the only person in history to write such a good poem about a waterfall.” Li Bai lets readers imagine that the waterfall hangs down from the clouds. If you visit Mount Lu yourself, you might understand why Li wrote this poem. 26. What do we know about Mount Lu from the first paragraph? A. It is the highest mountain in China, located in South Jiangxi. B. It is a famous mountain in North Jiangxi and a World Heritage Site. C. It became famous because Li Bai wrote a poem about its waterfall. 27. What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A. The mountain peak. B. An incense burner. C. A waterfall. 28. What made the poem The Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed From Afar famous in its time according to the passage? A. Its writer measured the height of the waterfall, which is 3,000 feet. B. Its writer was the first poet to describe the Censer Peak as an incense burner. C. Its writer used a creative idea, comparing the waterfall to the Milky Way in the sky. 29. Why does the writer speak of Su Shi? A. To discuss the history of Chinese poems. B. To show what a good poem Li Bai wrote. C. To compare Li Bai’s poems with Su Shi's. 30. What’s the passage mainly about? A. It explains how Li Bai shows his love for nature. B. It describes the geography of Jiangxi province in detail. C. It introduces a famous mountain and a great poem about it. C Looking out from the Fendouzhe submersible (潜水器), Du Mengran saw something very unusual. Under the submersible’s lights, some hairy bristleworms (多毛刺毛虫)swam slowly among fields of blood-red tubeworms (管状蠕虫). Du and her team explore the hadal zone (海沟带). At the moment, the team was at the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, northeast of Japan. Here, over nine kilometres under the sea, Du discovered the deepest-known ecosystem with living animals on the planet. This discovery (发现) landed her a place on the 2025 “Nature’s 10” list. As we know, most life on earth depends on sunlight. But the ecosystem in the hadal zone works differently. At such depths, there is little sunlight. The bristleworms, tubeworms, and other animals get energy from special chemicals on the ocean floor. Before Du’s work, no one saw these animals in such detail. Several kinds may even be new to science. The discovery made Du and her team decide to do more dives in areas that are close by. In the southern Pacific Ocean, the team found similar ecosystems. In the complete darkness, six kilometers under the sea, there may be a totally separate food web (食物网). The space inside the Fendouzhe submersible measures just 1.8 metres wide. Many people would never want to enter such a small space or stay inside it for hours. But Du feels excited every time she steps inside. She compares the submersible to a time machine that opens doors to unknown worlds. What other secrets lie in the dark depths of the ocean? Du and her team are working to find out. 31. Why did Du Mengran think what she saw outside the Fendouzhe submersible “unusual”? A. She didn’t expect to see life at such depths. B. Nobody before her knew the colours of tubeworms. C. Bristleworms and tubeworms were new to science. 32. Where did Du Mengran make her discovery of a deep-sea ecosystem? A. In the hadal zone, about six kilometers below the ocean surface. B. At the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, northeast of Japan. C. In the southern Pacific Ocean, about nine kilometers under the sea. 33. How do animals like bristleworms survive in the hadal zone according to the passage? A. They rely on the sunlight that reaches the deep sea. B. They feed on plants that grow under the sea. C. They get energy from special chemicals on the ocean floor. 34. Why do many people not want to enter the Fendouzhe submersible according to the writer? A. Because it usually dives very deep. B. Because the space inside is small. C. Because it is completely dark inside. 35. What are Du and her team going to do? A. Dive into the southern Pacific Ocean for the first time. B. Stop diving to the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. C. Continue exploring the unknown in the depths of the sea.

What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy? Shyness means feeling nervous or afraid when you’re around other people. Experts have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. Some kids were born shy. Some become shy later because of their experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel like yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill. Some are afraid of meeting strangers, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are quieter and clever because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at getting on with others because they think more about other people. Some great people in history were shy, too. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good chances (机会) pass by because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it!

However, travel-lover Deng Zhangyu decided to do something different. At the end of last summer, he headed west into the Gobi Desert to explore its history, nature and culture. Deng’s first stop was the Yumen Pass, an important gateway on the Silk Road. People built it during the Western Han Dynasty, and even now, its remains are still standing against wind and sand. Deng climbed onto the ruins (遗迹) and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. He couldn’t help but imagine the ancient businessmen with their camels’ bells ringing and the people who once stood guard (保卫) there. Next, he visited the ruins of Hecang City. They lie in a lowland area, so visitors can hardly find them without a local guide’s help. In the evening, Deng went to the Dunhuang Yardang National Geopark. It is known as “Devil City (魔鬼城)” because of the sound of the wind. At night, he enjoyed the amazing night sky, and countless stars shone brightly over the quiet desert. The next day, Deng went to Dunhuang’s famous Shazhou Night Market with some local friends. They tried local delicious food like grilled lamb skewers (烤羊肉串) and grilled fish. There were also performers dressed in ancient clothes dancing along the street. Besides the food and performances, the night market’s restroom also surprised Deng. According to his friends, visitors often take photos inside it. Deng’s short trip was full of wonderful experiences, letting him find a rich mix of history, nature, and culture in Dunhuang. 56.
