A. instructor B. programmer C. teenager D. dentist 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：作为一名程序员，她经常在业余时间帮助公司开发新应用程序。 instructor教练/指导员；programmer程序员；teenager青少年；dentist牙医。根据“helps companies develop new apps”可知，她的职业应与软件开发相关，只有“程序员”符合语境。 22.

A. to give up B. not to give up C. to get into D. not to get into 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个小女孩决定不放弃吹长笛，尽管它似乎很难。 考查动词短语辨析。to give up放弃；not to give up不放弃；to get into进入/开始从事；not to get into不进入/不开始从事。根据“even though it seemed difficult”可知，尽管困难，但小女孩决定不放弃。故选B。 23.

A. improve B. to improve C. improving D. improved 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：她去艺术俱乐部是为了提高她的绘画技能。 考查非谓语动词。根据“She went to the art club...her painting skills.”可知，她去艺术俱乐部的目的是“提高绘画技能”，需用动词不定式表示目的。故选B。 24. — Is finishing the project just about working hard? — No, it’s not ________ about hard work; we also need smart solutions. A. mainly B. simply C. clearly D. exactly 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——完成这个项目只需要努力工作吗？——不，它不仅仅是需要努力工作；我们还需要聪明的解决方案。 mainly主要地；simply仅仅，只是；clearly清楚地；exactly确切地。根据答语后句“we also need smart solutions”可知，完成项目不仅需要努力，还需要聪明的方法，因此空格处应表示“仅仅、只是”的含义，not simply意为“不仅仅是”。应填simply。 25. ________ it might take a long time, I believe we will succeed in the end if we don’t give up. A. Because B. If C. Since D. Although 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：虽然可能需要很长时间，但我相信如果我们不放弃，最终会成功。 Because因为；If如果；Since自从；既然；Although虽然。根据“it might take a long time”与“we will succeed”可知前后句意存在让步转折关系，应用Although引导让步状语从句。 26. —I stayed up late yesterday.

Hi, boys, please help _________ to some chicken. A. myself B. yourselves C. yourself D. themselves 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：嗨，男孩们，请随便吃点鸡肉吧！ 考查反身代词。myself我自己；yourselves你们自己；yourself你自己；themselves他们自己。help oneself to为固定搭配，意为“请自便”，根据“boys”提示可知，此处指你们自己。反身代词应用复数yourselves，故选B。 28.

Months ago, hoping to experience the true beauty of the Silk Road desert around Dunhuang, I ____29____ to stay at a campsite (野营地) about 8 kilometers from the city centre. It turned out to be one of my best ____30____ ever. When I arrived there, a camp guide ____31____ me with a smile. Even though I couldn’t speak Chinese well, she patiently explained ____32____ and showed me around. My tent was small but ____33____. The idea of camping in the desert made me really ____34____. After a short rest in the tent, I couldn’t wait and went out to ____35____ the desert. It stretched (延伸) endlessly before me. ____36____ the sand was not easy at all. Each step took hard work. Even a short ____37____ left me tired and out of breath. While I was walking around, the wind was blowing the sand, creating fantastic scenes. Though it was September, the desert was still hot like summer. Soon, my dry throat reminded me that travelling in the desert without water could be ____38____. I realized that the beauty and challenges of the desert were showing me its true nature. 29. A. failed B. chose C. feared D. promised 30. A. trips B. purposes C. lessons D. changes 31.

A. break B. match C. distance D. memory 38. A. funny B. risky C. joyful D. regular 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. C 32. A 33. B 34. C 35. A 36. D 37. C 38. B 【解析】 【导语】本文作者讲述了在敦煌沙漠露营的经历，包括到达、营地环境、探索沙漠的艰难与美丽，以及意识到沙漠旅行的风险。 【29题详解】 句意：几个月前，希望体验敦煌周围丝绸之路沙漠的真正美景，我选择住在离市中心约8公里的一个野营地。 根据“hoping to experience... I ... to stay”可知，作者是主动决定去露营，chose“选择”符合语境。failed未能，feared害怕，promised承诺，均不符合主动体验美景的语境。 【30题详解】 句意：结果证明这是我最好的旅行之一。 根据上文“stay at a campsite”可知这是一次旅行经历，trips“旅行”符合。purposes目的，lessons课程，changes改变，均与露营经历不符。 【31题详解】 句意：当我到达那里时，一个营地导游微笑着迎接我。 根据“with a smile”及到达场景可知是打招呼，greeted“打招呼”符合。invited邀请需具体内容，protected保护不合场景，mentioned提到与微笑不直接相关。 【32题详解】 句意：即使我说不好中文，她耐心地解释了一切并带我参观。 根据“patiently explained... and showed me around”可知导游很负责，解释了所有注意事项，everything“所有”符合。something某事，anything常用于否定或疑问，nothing与helpful语境矛盾。 【33题详解】 句意：我的帐篷很小但是舒适。 前后为转折关系，small与comfortable形成合理对比，说明虽小但好。terrible糟糕，strange奇怪，noisy吵闹，均与but逻辑不符。 【34题详解】 句意：在沙漠里露营的想法让我真的很兴奋。 根据后文“couldn’t wait”可知作者心情积极，excited“兴奋”符合。worried担心，shocked震惊，disappointed失望，均与迫不及待矛盾。 【35题详解】 句意：我迫不及待地出去探索沙漠。 根据went out及沙漠场景，explore指考察、探险，符合语境。clean打扫，discover侧重首次发现，protect保护，均不贴合动作目的。 【36题详解】 句意：在沙子上行走一点都不容易。 根据后文“Each step took hard work”可知是在沙地上行走，Walking on“行走”符合。Searching for寻找，Writing on写，Picking up捡起，均不合理。 【37题详解】 句意：即使很短的一段距离也会让我疲惫和喘不过气。 此处说的是行走的路程长短，distance“距离”符合语境。break休息，match比赛，memory记忆，与步行劳累无关。 【38题详解】 句意：我意识到在沙漠中旅行没有水可能是危险的。 在沙漠中没水是有生命危险的，risky“有风险的”符合语境。funny有趣的，joyful高兴的，regular定期的，均不符合缺水后果。 B） 请阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，根据方框中所给的词和文中所给的音标进行填空，注意单词的变形。每个词限用一次。 importance lie good what possible One day, Rita’s neighbor Jane came to her and shouted, “Rita, Please help my sister Emma! She cut ____39____ /hɜːˈself/.” Rita rushed to Jane’s house as quickly as ____40____.

I didn’t know ____43____ to do,” Jane told Rita. ____44____ /ˈlʌkɪli/, Rita knew how to give first aid. She pressed the cut to ____45____ /kənˈtrəʊl/ the bleeding. Then she told Jane to call 120. As they waited, she let Emma ____46____ /rest/ on the sofa and kept pressing the cut, so Emma would not lose too much blood before going to the hospital. A few days later, Emma’s foot got much ____47____. Rita felt happy as she heard the good news. “Everyone should know the ____48____ of first aid. Sometimes, it can save people’s lives,” Rita said. 【答案】39. herself 40. possible 41. was lying 42. careless 43. what 44. Luckily 45. control 46. rest 47. better 48. importance 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述Rita及时救助玩耍受伤割伤脚的Emma，熟练进行急救处理，事后她感慨大家都应了解急救知识，明白急救的重要性。 【39题详解】 句意：她割伤了自己。结合音标/hɜːˈself/可知此处填herself。cut oneself是固定搭配，意为“割伤自己”。 【40题详解】 句意：Rita尽可能快地冲向Jane家。as quickly as possible是固定搭配，意为“尽可能快地”。方框中的possible符合语境。 【41题详解】 句意：Emma正躺在地板上，右脚伤口流着血。方框中的lie意为“躺”。结合语境，当Rita赶到时，Emma“正在”躺在地上，描述过去某个时刻正在进行的动作，应用过去进行时（was/were + doing），主语Emma是单数，因此填was lying。 【42题详解】 句意：Emma太粗心了，玩的时候打碎了玻璃。结合音标/ˈkeələs/可知此处填careless，意为“粗心的”，符合Emma打碎玻璃的语境。 【43题详解】 句意：我不知道该做什么。方框中的what意为“什么”。know what to do是固定表达，意为“知道该做什么”，作know的宾语。 【44题详解】 句意：幸运的是，Rita知道如何进行急救。结合音标/ˈlʌkɪli/可知此处填luckily。位于句首修饰整个句子，首字母需要大写，因此填Luckily。 【45题详解】 句意：她按压伤口以控制出血。结合音标/kənˈtrəʊl/可知此处填control，to后接动词原形表目的。 【46题详解】 句意：就在她们等候的时候，她让Emma在沙发上休息并持续按压伤口，让Emma在送往医院之前不会失血过多。结合音标/rest/可知此处填rest。let sb后接动词原形。 【47题详解】 句意：几天后，Emma的脚好多了。此处表示Emma的脚恢复得“更好了”，方框中的good意为“好的”。结合前面的“much”可知，需要用good的比较级better，符合“好了很多”的语境。 【48题详解】 句意：每个人都应该知道急救的重要性。方框中的importance意为“重要性”。the importance of...是固定搭配，意为“……的重要性”，符合表达急救重要性的语境。 四、阅读理解（每小题2分，共42分） A）阅读短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填到提前括号内。 A Bob had a special hobby.

Because curiosity is a powerful part of humans, and it pushes us to make great progress all the time. Curiosity comes from our natural human instinct (本能). We are born with it. When we are little babies, we try to touch and look at everything new. As we grow up, we keep asking “why” and “how” about the world. Scientists say our brains need to learn new things to grow, so curiosity is a natural need for every person. Curiosity has clear performances in our daily life. We ask questions in class when we don’t understand knowledge. We watch small animals and read science books. A recent study shows that 80% of middle school students ask more than eight curious questions every day. These small acts are all signs of curiosity. Most importantly, ________. Many famous scientists get their ideas from curiosity. Albert Einstein, a great scientist, once said, “Curiosity is more important than knowledge.” His curiosity made him make amazing scientific discoveries. Data also shows that 90% of important inventions start with a curious thought. In short, curiosity is a valuable gift for humans. It is our natural instinct, shows in daily life, and drives us to explore the unknown. We should always keep our curiosity, just like the rover, to make the world better. 52. What is the purpose of mentioning Curiosity the Mars rover at the beginning? A. To tell readers how to explore Mars B. To introduce the topic of curiosity C. To show how the Mars rover works D. To ask people to name their robots 53. According to Paragraph 2, why is curiosity a natural need? A. Because babies like to touch everything B. Because it makes people ask many questions C. Because our brains need new information to grow D. Because it helps people make new friends 54. Which sentence can be put in ________? A. curiosity leads to great human progress B. curiosity is difficult to keep C. many students like science lessons D. Einstein was a great scientist 55. What is the best title for the passage? A. How to Explore Mars B. Famous Scientists in the World C. The Power of Curiosity D. Daily Life of Middle School Students 【答案】52. B 53. C 54. A 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文以火星探测车“好奇号”为引子，介绍了好奇心的来源、在日常生活中的表现，以及它对科学进步的推动作用，强调了好奇心的重要性。 【52题详解】 文章开头提到“好奇号”火星探测车，随后解释了它名字的由来，并引出全文主题——好奇心，因此目的是引出好奇心这一话题。 【53题详解】 根据原文第二段“Scientists say our brains need to learn new things to grow, so curiosity is a natural need for every person.”，可知好奇心是一种自然需求，因为我们的大脑需要学习新事物才能成长。 【54题详解】 横线位于第四段开头，后文提到“许多著名科学家的想法都源于好奇心”“爱因斯坦的好奇心让他做出了惊人的科学发现”“90%的重要发明都始于一个好奇的想法”，这些都说明好奇心能推动人类进步，因此选“curiosity leads to great human progress”。 【55题详解】 全文围绕“好奇心”展开，介绍了它的来源、日常表现和对科学进步的推动作用，核心是强调好奇心的力量，因此最佳标题为“The Power of Curiosity”。 C ①It’s normal that everyone has fears. But how to overcome our fears? ②When I was in Grade 7, I had a big fear of speaking in front of the class. Every time the teacher asked me to share my ideas, my hands shook and I could never say a word. I felt so disappointed with myself and thought I’d never be able to get over this fear. But with small steps, I finally learned to overcome it. ③First, I tried to face my fear little by little. Instead of avoiding class discussions, I started with small things—like answering short questions. Before standing up, I would take a deep breath to calm down. This simple action helped me feel less nervous each time. ④Then, I asked my best friend for help. She encouraged me to practise speaking with her after class, and she always told me I did well even when I made mistakes. ⑤Never give up. Keep on working for your goal, and then you will surely reach your goal. I kept practising day by day. And slowly, I became braver. Now, I even volunteer to give presentations (展示)! When I finish, I feel so happy and proud. ⑥We can’t always succeed or win at first. But remember: The fear isn’t scary if you take small steps, ask for help, and keep trying to face it. 56. What’s the writer’s problem according to the passage? A. He feared to speak in public. B. He feared to practise speaking. C. He feared to take even small steps. D. He was afraid of facing his trouble. 57. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A. The step. B. The fear. C. The presentation. D. The mistake. 58. How did the writer’s feelings change according to the passage? A. Nervous—calm—brave—happy. B. Calm—nervous—worried—proud. C. Nervous—proud—happy—worried. D. Worried—brave—calm—nervous. 59. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】56. A 57. B 58. A 59. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者如何通过一步步的努力，克服在公众面前发言的恐惧，最终变得勇敢自信的经历。 【56题详解】 文中第②段提到“When I was in Grade 7, I had a big fear of speaking in front of the class.”，说明作者的问题是害怕在公众面前发言。 【57题详解】 文中第⑥段提到“But remember: The fear isn’t scary if you take small steps, ask for help, and keep trying to face it.”，结合上下文，“it”指代的是前文提到的“fear（恐惧）”。 【58题详解】 文中第②段提到“Every time the teacher asked me to share my ideas, my hands shook... I felt so disappointed with myself”（紧张、担忧）；第③段提到“This simple action helped me feel less nervous each time”（平静）；第⑤段提到“And slowly, I became braver”（勇敢）；第⑤段提到“When I finish, I feel so happy and proud”（开心自豪）。因此情感变化为“Nervous—calm—brave—happy”，对应选项A。 【59题详解】 文章结构为：①段引出主题（如何克服恐惧）；②段讲述自己的问题；③④⑤段分别给出克服恐惧的方法（一步步面对、寻求帮助、永不放弃）；⑥段总结全文。对应选项B的结构：①（总起）→②（问题）→③④⑤（方法）→⑥（总结）。 D When we think of forests, we usually imagine trees growing on dry land. But have you ever heard of a “walking forest”? On the coasts (海岸) of Fujian and other southern provinces, there is a special kind of tree called mangrove (红树林). These special trees can slowly “walk” on the muddy (泥泞的) ground year by year. Most trees cannot live in salty water, but mangroves are different. They grow well near the sea. Their roots (树根) are very special. They do not grow straight down. Many roots grow above the water and look like long legs. These “legs” help the trees take in fresh air when the sea water rises. Also, they help the trees against strong wind and big waves (海浪). How do mangroves “walk”? As trees grow older, their old roots will die and break down. At the same time, new roots grow towards the sea. After many years, the trees will slowly move away from their old places. One mangrove tree can move several meters in one hundred years. Mangroves are also very useful. They can stop strong storms and protect nearby villages. Lots of fish, crabs and birds live in their roots. Little fish often hide (躲藏) there to stay safe from dangerous big sea animals. However, mangroves are in great danger now. Pollution (污染) and human activities make fewer and fewer mangroves. Luckily, Fujian has built many special places to protect them. Planting more mangroves can protect nature and also keep people away from natural disasters. 60. Why are mangrove trees called “walking trees”? A. Because they can move their legs like animals. B. Because they grow new roots and lose old ones, slowly moving to new places. C. Because the wind blows them from one place to another quickly. D. Because people carry them to different spots every year. 61. What is the main function of the mangrove’s special roots? A. To make the tree look beautiful for visitors. B. To help the tree get food from deep underground. C. To help the tree breathe and stay strong in the sea. D. To stop fish from swimming near the tree. 62. What does the underlined word “disasters” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. 灾害 B. 景观 C. 奇迹 D. 规律 63. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE? A. Mangroves can only grow on dry land. B. Small fish use mangrove roots as a hiding place. C. Mangrove trees move several meters every day. D. There are no mangrove forests in Fujian Province. 64. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Protecting mangroves is only important for birds. B. Human activities have no effect on mangrove forests. C. Mangroves play a double role in environmental protection and human safety. D. We should stop all fishing activities near the coast. 【答案】60. B 61. C 62. A 63. B 64. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了被称为“行走的森林”的红树林，说明了其特殊的“行走”方式、独特的根系功能、生态作用以及面临的危机与保护措施。 【60题详解】 文中第2段提到“As trees grow older, their old roots will die and break down. At the same time, new roots grow towards the sea. After many years, the trees will slowly move away from their old places.”，说明红树林被称为“行走的树”，是因为它们会随着老根死亡、新根向海边生长，缓慢移动到新的地方。 【61题详解】 文中第2段提到“These ‘legs’ help the trees take in fresh air when the sea water rises. Also, they help the trees against strong wind and big waves.”，说明红树林特殊根系的主要功能是帮助树木在海水中呼吸并抵御风浪。 【62题详解】 文中最后一段提到“Planting more mangroves can protect nature and also keep people away from natural disasters.”，结合上下文，红树林可以保护人们免受自然灾害的侵袭，因此“disasters”意为“灾害”。 【63题详解】 文中第2段提到“Little fish often hide there to stay safe from dangerous big sea animals.”，说明小鱼会把红树林的根当作藏身之处。 【64题详解】 文中最后一段提到“Planting more mangroves can protect nature and also keep people away from natural disasters.”，说明红树林既对环境保护有益，也能保障人类安全，发挥着双重作用。 B） 请阅读下面一篇短文，根据短文内容从方框中选择适当的句子还原到文中，有两项是多余的。 The undersea world is very beautiful.
