Now’s your chance! Join us for an unforgettable immersive ‘time-traveling’ adventure”，全文都在介绍体验唐代生活的活动流程，因此主要目的是邀请游客体验唐代生活。 B In life, we sometimes disagree with people. When this happens, the important thing is to try not to let a peaceful discussion turn into a heated argument. But of course this is easier said than done. First, you should pay attention to the way you begin the conversation. Imagine you share an apartment with another student, but you think he does little housework. If you say, “Look, you never do housework”, the discussion will soon turn into an argument. It’s much better to say something like, “Let’s find a better way to share housework.”. The second piece of advice is simple. If you’re the person who is in the wrong, just tell the truth. Don’t try to explain. It’s the easiest and best way to avoid an argument. The next is called “Time Out”, like in a sports match. If you think that a discussion is getting out of control, then you can say to the person, “I’d rather talk about this tomorrow.” You can continue the discussion the next day when both of you are cool. That way, there will be much more chance for you to reach an agreement. Last, some people think that arguing is always bad. This is not true. Conflict is a common part of life, and dealing with conflict is an important part of any relationship. If you don’t learn to argue properly, then when a real problem comes along, you won’t be prepared to face it together. Regard the smaller arguments as training. Learn how to argue clearly and fairly. It will help your relationship become stronger and last longer. 4. What should we do if we’re wrong? A. Tell the truth. B. Keep silent. C. Avoid saying it. D. Try to explain. 5. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Friends’ argument is like a sports match. B. It’s better to deal with an argument quickly. C. It’s necessary for friends to argue with each other. D. People can reach an agreement more easily when they are cool. 6. What does the underlined word “conflict” mean? A. Argument. B. Question. C. Opinion. D. Discussion. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. The Results of Arguments B. The Importance of arguments C. Reasons Why People Argue D. How to deal with Disagreements 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了在生活中如何处理分歧，避免和平讨论演变成激烈争论，并给出了几条具体的建议，如如何开始对话、承认错误、暂停冷静以及正确看待冲突。 【4题详解】 根据第三段“If you’re the person who is in the wrong, just tell the truth.”可知，当我们犯错时，应该坦诚相告。 【5题详解】 第四段讲的是“暂停（Time Out）”策略，核心句是“You can continue the discussion the next day when both of you are cool. That way, there will be much more chance for you to reach an agreement.”，说明人们在冷静的时候更容易达成协议。 【6题详解】 最后一段提到，“Conflict is a common part of life”，紧接着又说“Learn how to argue clearly and fairly”。根据上下文可知，conflict与argue和argument意思相近，指代的是意见不合或争执。 【7题详解】 文章开篇就点明主题，即how to deal with disagreements，随后分段给出了具体的建议。根据全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了处理分歧的方法。 C Jiang Danni is a 24-year-old volunteer from East China. She has volunteered in schools in Lebanon and countries in Africa. And her videos about her experience have drawn many people’s attention. After graduating (毕业) from university in 2020, Danni chose to work in Africa for a year and then journeyed to seven countries. A primary school in Uganda stopped her. She had a peaceful time getting to know the children at the school. She taught children in Grades One to Four. Danni set up different kinds of classes for her students, including Chinese language learning, cooking, and crafts (手工艺). Danni also tried to care for the students. While staying at a school in Tanzania, she prepared lunch for 40 children below 5 years old. The school is so far from the town. Danni needed to pass through a large forest and fields before taking a bus for more than half an hour to get to the town. She went to the town to buy delicious food for the kids. In 2022, Danni arrived in Lebanon in Asia and became a volunteer teacher at a school. This time she taught arts and crafts to her students. She included some interesting activities in her teaching such as paper cutting and the making of paper ice cream in class. Her students all worked hard and enjoyed the creative activities. ▲ Every time Danni arrived at the school, they would run to give her a hug or small gifts such as a candy. And after school, they would invite her to their homes. “I enjoyed spending beautiful moments with them. Their smiling faces gave me energy and encouraged me to find meaning in volunteer work in different places,” Danni said. She has decided to further develop her dream to help others as a lifetime career (事业). 8. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. People in Tanzania lived a quiet life. B. Danni looked after young children in Tanzania. C. Danni only prepared three meals for kids under 7. D. It was hard for students in Tanzania to get to school. 9.

Nervous and well-known. B. Discouraged and helpful. C. Brave and kind. D. Heartless and willing. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了24岁的志愿者蒋丹妮在非洲和黎巴嫩支教的故事，包括她在乌干达、坦桑尼亚和黎巴嫩的教学经历、对学生的关爱以及她与学生之间建立的深厚感情，表达了她将帮助他人作为终身事业的决心。 【8题详解】 根据第三段“Danni also tried to care for the students.”以及后文“While staying at a school in Tanzania, she prepared lunch for 40 children below 5 years old.”可知，丹妮在坦桑尼亚照顾年幼的孩子（为他们准备午餐）。 【9题详解】 根据第四段“In 2022, Danni arrived in Lebanon... This time she taught arts and crafts to her students.”可知，她在黎巴嫩教的是美术（arts）和手工（crafts）。对应选项中的③Crafts和④Arts。 【10题详解】 根据第五段空格后提到“Every time Danni arrived at the school, they would run to give her a hug... invite her to their homes.”，这些细节表明丹妮与孩子们之间建立了深厚美好的关系。选项D“Danni developed beautiful relationships with children.”最能概括这一段的主旨。 【11题详解】 通读全文可知，丹妮独自去非洲和黎巴嫩做志愿者，甚至穿过森林和田野去城镇为孩子们买食物，体现了她的勇敢（Brave）；她关心照顾学生，教他们知识，决定将帮助他人作为终身事业，体现了她的善良（Kind）。选项中Nervous、Discouraged、Heartless均与文意不符。 D When I became a junior, I decided to take Latin (拉丁文) at school. I was so excited and really expected to learn it well. However, the Latin class was quite boring. Each day, Mr Keady, the teacher, would ask us to open our books and read aloud the Latin forms of words. This was the way he taught us every day. That was until one afternoon when, once again, we were asked to open our books, and I decided to speak up. When Mr Keady asked what was wrong, I explained why I found his class boring, how I had expected more, and that his teaching method seemed old-fashioned. When I finished speaking, I expected Mr Keady to angrily send me to the head teacher. To my surprise, he sat at his desk quietly, looking disappointed and tired. After a moment of silence, Mr Keady spoke. He quietly said that he would think carefully about what I had said. And that was it. In the following weeks, the Latin class didn’t become the exciting learning environment I had hoped for, but Mr Keady did try harder to interest us in his classes. Maybe some people would praise (表扬) what I did, but even so many years later, I feel bad about it. If I saw him now, I would tell him how much I regretted what I’d done that day in class. I would also tell him that he taught me a wonderful lesson that day. Following my unkind words, Mr Keady showed me that being wounded doesn’t mean you have to give away your dignity (尊严), and that no one—no one—can take it away from you. 12. How did the writer feel about the Latin class? A. Exciting. B. Boring. C. Challenging. D. Fashionable. 13. What did Keady do after the writer talked to him? A. He got angry and told the head teacher. B. He said nothing until the class ended. C. He looked sad and thought about it. D. He promised to improve his teaching. 14. How does the writer feel about the event now? A. Disappointed at the changes. B. Happy to get praised. C. Wounded by the teacher. D. Regretful about what was said. 15. What lesson did the writer learn from the experience? A. One can always hold onto their dignity. B. Unkind words can sometimes work. C. Honest communication is important. D. Don’t try to teach teachers lessons. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在拉丁语课上直言不喜欢老师的教学方式，老师并未发怒反而反思改进，多年后作者为此感到后悔，并领悟到尊严不可被夺走的道理。 【12题详解】 第二段明确提到“However, the Latin class was quite boring.”，直接说明作者认为拉丁语课很无聊。 【13题详解】 第四段描述“he sat at his desk quietly, looking disappointed and tired. After a moment of silence, Mr Keady spoke. He quietly said that he would think carefully about what I had said.”，说明老师看起来失望并思考了作者的话。 【14题详解】 最后一段提到“I feel bad about it. If I saw him now, I would tell him how much I regretted what I’d done that day in class.”，直接表明作者现在对当时说的话感到后悔。 【15题详解】 最后一段点明“Mr Keady showed me that being wounded doesn’t mean you have to give away your dignity, and that no one—no one—can take it away from you.”，说明作者学到的是人永远可以守住自己的尊严。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） The Journey of Self-Discovery (自我发现) People make long journeys to different countries.

A 18. E 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了如何开始自我发现之旅，并提供了四个实用的建议来帮助个人更好地了解自己。 【16题详解】 根据“People make long journeys to different countries. Some even make a way to space. How can you start the journey of self-discovery?”可知，前面讲了人们去不同国家甚至去太空的旅行，后面马上问如何开始自我发现之旅，这里需要一个句子来引出自我发现之旅比前面那些旅行更重要的意思。F选项“然而，最重要的旅程是自我发现之旅”符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据“But which of them are you proud of? This will help you know yourself better.”可知，前面提出了“这些能力中你对哪一个感到骄傲”的问题，后面说这会帮助更好地了解自己，所以中间需要一个句子表示要去找出这个问题的答案。A选项“你需要找出答案”符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据“However, in order to discover yourself, you need to put yourself in some uncomfortable situations. For example, you can go out for a difficult rock climbing.”可知，前文说为了发现自己要把自己置于不舒服的情境中，后文举例去进行艰难的攀岩，所以此处应该是说可以做一些自己害怕的、能让自己处于不舒服情境的事情。E选项“你可以做一些你害怕的户外活动”符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据“It is also a powerful way to discover things about yourself.”和“When you are in a different place where people share different thoughts, you may have a chance to rethink about what you always believe.”可知，后文提到当处于一个人们有不同想法的不同地方时，可以重新思考一直以来相信的东西，所以这里应该是说在新环境中度过时光这样的内容。B选项“在一个新环境中度过你的时光”符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据“People may want to finish the journey as soon as possible. As you go through life, many experiences can change you, and this helps you grow. The journey to self-discovery is life’s greatest adventure.”可知，前文说人们可能想尽快完成自我发现之旅，后文说随着经历生活，很多经历会改变自己并帮助成长，自我发现之旅是人生最伟大的冒险，所以这里需要一个句子表示自我发现之旅不是能很快完成的，而是一个长期的任务。D选项“事实上，自我发现之旅是一项终生的任务”符合语境。故选D。 第二部分 语言知识应用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Are you having problems learning a second language?

Crazy about Chinese food, Antonio often traveled around China to find new ideas in his early days. Last year, he visited some cities along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal (大运河). “What interested me most was not only the food, but also the people, their kindness, and the customs passed down,” he said. Tai’erzhuang is one of the cities along the Grand Canal that Antonio has visited. In this centuries-old water town, he tried the thin and crispy Shandong pancakes with green onions. In the past, the pancakes were made from grains (谷粒) transported through the Grand Canal. The pancakes show the creativity of Shandong people and their cooking skills. Recently, Antonio shared stories of the “food journey to the east” on social media. Many people left messages, saying that they were interested in Chinese food and culture. Antonio has realized that many foreigners will fall in love with learning about traditional Chinese culture if it is presented in a way they can understand. Antonio is becoming one of the modern “Marco Polos” who are attracted by amazing Chinese culture and show it to the world. Though Italian and Chinese foods are very different, they share certain similarities, such as the use of noodles, which is a common thread (线) in both cultures. Antonio said, “Food is a bridge to bring people together. (A) ________” 41. What made Antonio want to come to China? ________________________________________________ 42. What did Antonio do in his early days in China? ________________________________________________ 43. What interested Antonio most during his visit? ________________________________________________ 44. Why do people call Antonio a modern “Marco Polo”? _______________________________________________ 45. 根据短文，完成句子（A）。 _______________________________________________ 【答案】41. The story of Marco Polo and the beautiful Chinese food he saw on TV. 42. He traveled around China to find new ideas. 43.

Now’s your chance! Join us for an unforgettable immersive (沉浸式的) “time-traveling” adventure (冒险)! You can walk through the busy streets of ancient Chang’an, meet mysterious travelers from the past, and discover mysteries hidden by time! Time: 9:00 a.m.—4:30 p.m., Tuesday to Sunday, from June 18 to October 18, 2026 * Closed every Monday, except national holidays Price: Free Address: City Museum Get Your Guidebook: Pick up your time-traveling guidebook at the Service Center. Get some information about ancient Chang’an, including its city layout (布局), food, festivals, and more! Choose Your Role Card: Pick a character card: performer, businessman, scholar (学者), officer, or soldier. Find out who you are and start your adventure on the second floor. Go on an NPC -guided Immersive Tour: Professional actors will guide you through history with stories and amazing performances inside the exhibition hall. Tour Time: Tuesday to Friday: 9:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m. Saturday & Sunday: 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. 1. When can visitors have the “time-traveling” adventure? A. On any day except Monday in 2026. B. On the first Wednesday in May. C. During the National Day holiday in 2026. D. On the second Saturday of November, 2026. 2. What should visitors do first to join in the event? A. Buy a ticket. B. Get a guidebook. C. Choose a role card. D. Take an NPC-guided tour. 3. What is the main purpose of the poster? A. To encourage visitors to buy historical objects. B. To teach visitors about ancient Chinese history. C. To help visitors meet more travelers from the past. D. To invite visitors to experience life in the Tang Dynasty. B In life, we sometimes disagree with people. When this happens, the important thing is to try not to let a peaceful discussion turn into a heated argument. But of course this is easier said than done. First, you should pay attention to the way you begin the conversation. Imagine you share an apartment with another student, but you think he does little housework. If you say, “Look, you never do housework”, the discussion will soon turn into an argument. It’s much better to say something like, “Let’s find a better way to share housework.”. The second piece of advice is simple. If you’re the person who is in the wrong, just tell the truth. Don’t try to explain. It’s the easiest and best way to avoid an argument. The next is called “Time Out”, like in a sports match. If you think that a discussion is getting out of control, then you can say to the person, “I’d rather talk about this tomorrow.” You can continue the discussion the next day when both of you are cool. That way, there will be much more chance for you to reach an agreement. Last, some people think that arguing is always bad. This is not true. Conflict is a common part of life, and dealing with conflict is an important part of any relationship. If you don’t learn to argue properly, then when a real problem comes along, you won’t be prepared to face it together. Regard the smaller arguments as training. Learn how to argue clearly and fairly. It will help your relationship become stronger and last longer. 4. What should we do if we’re wrong? A. Tell the truth. B. Keep silent. C. Avoid saying it. D. Try to explain. 5. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Friends’ argument is like a sports match. B. It’s better to deal with an argument quickly. C. It’s necessary for friends to argue with each other. D. People can reach an agreement more easily when they are cool. 6. What does the underlined word “conflict” mean? A. Argument. B. Question. C. Opinion. D. Discussion. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. The Results of Arguments B. The Importance of arguments C. Reasons Why People Argue D. How to deal with Disagreements C Jiang Danni is a 24-year-old volunteer from East China. She has volunteered in schools in Lebanon and countries in Africa. And her videos about her experience have drawn many people’s attention. After graduating (毕业) from university in 2020, Danni chose to work in Africa for a year and then journeyed to seven countries. A primary school in Uganda stopped her. She had a peaceful time getting to know the children at the school. She taught children in Grades One to Four. Danni set up different kinds of classes for her students, including Chinese language learning, cooking, and crafts (手工艺). Danni also tried to care for the students. While staying at a school in Tanzania, she prepared lunch for 40 children below 5 years old. The school is so far from the town. Danni needed to pass through a large forest and fields before taking a bus for more than half an hour to get to the town. She went to the town to buy delicious food for the kids. In 2022, Danni arrived in Lebanon in Asia and became a volunteer teacher at a school. This time she taught arts and crafts to her students. She included some interesting activities in her teaching such as paper cutting and the making of paper ice cream in class. Her students all worked hard and enjoyed the creative activities. ▲ Every time Danni arrived at the school, they would run to give her a hug or small gifts such as a candy. And after school, they would invite her to their homes. “I enjoyed spending beautiful moments with them. Their smiling faces gave me energy and encouraged me to find meaning in volunteer work in different places,” Danni said. She has decided to further develop her dream to help others as a lifetime career (事业). 8. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. People in Tanzania lived a quiet life. B.

Nervous and well-known. B. Discouraged and helpful. C. Brave and kind. D. Heartless and willing. D When I became a junior, I decided to take Latin (拉丁文) at school. I was so excited and really expected to learn it well. However, the Latin class was quite boring. Each day, Mr Keady, the teacher, would ask us to open our books and read aloud the Latin forms of words. This was the way he taught us every day. That was until one afternoon when, once again, we were asked to open our books, and I decided to speak up. When Mr Keady asked what was wrong, I explained why I found his class boring, how I had expected more, and that his teaching method seemed old-fashioned. When I finished speaking, I expected Mr Keady to angrily send me to the head teacher. To my surprise, he sat at his desk quietly, looking disappointed and tired. After a moment of silence, Mr Keady spoke. He quietly said that he would think carefully about what I had said. And that was it. In the following weeks, the Latin class didn’t become the exciting learning environment I had hoped for, but Mr Keady did try harder to interest us in his classes. Maybe some people would praise (表扬) what I did, but even so many years later, I feel bad about it. If I saw him now, I would tell him how much I regretted what I’d done that day in class. I would also tell him that he taught me a wonderful lesson that day. Following my unkind words, Mr Keady showed me that being wounded doesn’t mean you have to give away your dignity (尊严), and that no one—no one—can take it away from you. 12. How did the writer feel about the Latin class? A. Exciting. B. Boring. C. Challenging. D. Fashionable. 13. What did Keady do after the writer talked to him? A. He got angry and told the head teacher. B. He said nothing until the class ended. C. He looked sad and thought about it. D. He promised to improve his teaching. 14. How does the writer feel about the event now? A. Disappointed at the changes. B. Happy to get praised. C. Wounded by the teacher. D. Regretful about what was said. 15. What lesson did the writer learn from the experience? A. One can always hold onto their dignity. B. Unkind words can sometimes work. C. Honest communication is important. D. Don’t try to teach teachers lessons. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） The Journey of Self-Discovery (自我发现) People make long journeys to different countries.

Crazy about Chinese food, Antonio often traveled around China to find new ideas in his early days. Last year, he visited some cities along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal (大运河). “What interested me most was not only the food, but also the people, their kindness, and the customs passed down,” he said. Tai’erzhuang is one of the cities along the Grand Canal that Antonio has visited. In this centuries-old water town, he tried the thin and crispy Shandong pancakes with green onions. In the past, the pancakes were made from grains (谷粒) transported through the Grand Canal. The pancakes show the creativity of Shandong people and their cooking skills. Recently, Antonio shared stories of the “food journey to the east” on social media. Many people left messages, saying that they were interested in Chinese food and culture. Antonio has realized that many foreigners will fall in love with learning about traditional Chinese culture if it is presented in a way they can understand. Antonio is becoming one of the modern “Marco Polos” who are attracted by amazing Chinese culture and show it to the world. Though Italian and Chinese foods are very different, they share certain similarities, such as the use of noodles, which is a common thread (线) in both cultures. Antonio said, “Food is a bridge to bring people together. (A) ________” 41. What made Antonio want to come to China? ________________________________________________ 42. What did Antonio do in his early days in China? ________________________________________________ 43.
