2025—2026学年度适应性考试（一） 九年级英语 （考试时间：100分钟 满分：120分） 请注意：1．本卷分选择题和非选择题两个部分。 2．所有试题的答案均填写在答题卡上，答案写在试卷上无效。 第Ⅰ部分 选择题（65分） 一、单项选择题 从下列每题所给的选项中，选出一个最佳答案。（每小题1分，共10分） 1. —Hi, Lucy. I heard you went to the new art museum during the spring break. What was it like? —It was amazing! But I can hardly ________ it in words. You really have to go and see it yourself. A. compare B. spread C. accept D. describe 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——嗨，露西。我听说你春假期间去了新的艺术博物馆。它怎么样？——太棒了！但我几乎无法用语言描述它们。你真的得亲自去看看。 compare比较；spread传播；accept接受；describe描述。根据后句“You really have to go and see it yourself”可知，此处表示“无法用言语描述”，言外之意是光靠说不够，必须亲眼去看，应填describe。 2. When I felt unsure of myself, my teacher encouraged me a lot. He made me aware that I had my own ________. A. celebrations B. hobbies C. advantages D. thoughts 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我对自己感到不确定时，我的老师给了我很多鼓励。他让我意识到我有自己的优势。 celebrations庆祝；hobbies爱好；advantages优势；thoughts想法。根据前句“When I felt unsure of myself, my teacher encouraged me a lot”可知，老师是在鼓励“我”，让“我”认识到自己的优点和长处，应填advantages。 3. —Let’s take a walk down Xiaoqiaogang Road. It brings me a(n) ________ feeling. —Exactly! It feels like time has stopped there. A. safe B. peaceful C. excited D. lively 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们去小乔港路散散步吧。它给我一种宁静的感觉。——确实！感觉时间在那里停止了。 safe安全的；peaceful宁静的；excited兴奋的；lively热闹的。根据答语“It feels like time has stopped there”可知，此处表示“宁静的、平静的”感觉，应填peaceful。 4. —Your grandpa is in his sixties, but he looks so healthy and strong. —So he does. He goes jogging in Mazhou Park every morning ________ it rains hard. A. unless B. till C. since D. as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你爷爷六十多岁了，但他看起来非常健康强壮。——确实如此。他每天早上去麻州公园慢跑，除非下大雨。 unless除非；till直到；since自从；as因为，当……时。根据前句“He goes jogging in Mazhou Park every morning”可知，他每天都去慢跑，后句“it rains hard”是唯一的例外情况，表示“除非下大雨，否则他每天都去”，应填unless。 5. People can park on ________ side of Renmin Road in Jingjiang, or they will be fined. A. either B. both C. neither D. none 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在靖江，人们不能在人民路的任何一边停车，否则他们将被罚款。 either两者中任何一个；both两者都；neither两者都不；none一个也没有（三者及以上）。由“or they will be fined”可知此处表示禁止停车，需用否定含义的词，“side”是单数形式，且道路只有两边，故用“neither side”表示“两边都不”。 6. —The competition ________ to be harder than I thought. —You should practise more before the competition. Remember, no pain, no gain. A. turned out B. found out C. ran out D. broke out 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——结果证明比赛比我想得更难。——你应该在比赛前多练习。记住，一分耕耘，一分收获。 turned out结果是；found out查明；ran out用完；broke out爆发。固定搭配“turn out to be”意为“结果证明是……”，符合语境。 7. I don’t think we’ll finish the marathon (马拉松) in just three hours. ________, it is well worth a try. A. Otherwise B. Instead C. Anyway D. Moreover 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我认为我们不会在仅仅三小时内完成马拉松。不管怎样，它非常值得一试。 Otherwise否则；Instead代替；Anyway不管怎样；Moreover此外。根据“I don’t think we’ll finish the marathon in just three hours.”可知虽然对按时完成持怀疑态度，但结合后句“it is well worth a try”可知表示不管怎样都值得一试，anyway符合语境。 8. No matter how many difficulties we meet, I believe all the problems________in the end. A. solve B. will solve C. are solved D. will be solved 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：不管我们遇到多少困难，我相信所有的问题最终将会被解决的。 考查时态及语态。solve解决，动词原形；will solve动词将来形式；are solved 被解决，一般现在时被动形式；will be solved将被解决，一般将来时被动形式。根据主语是“the problems”可知，与动词“解决”是被动关系，所以应该用被动语态；根据主语“I believe”，可知主句是一般现在时，宾语从句可以根据需要使用任何时态；根据句意可知，空处应该是表达所有的问题最终将会被解决，应当用一般将来时，一般将来时的被动语态构成是will be done。故选D。 【点睛】一般将来时态被动语态的结构是：主语（动作的接受者）+ will（或者其他表示将来时态的助动词：shall；am / is / are going to；am / is / are to）+ 动词过去分词。一般将来时常见的其它被动语态形式：1．be to be done表示按计划或安排将要发生的被动动作，如：The book is to be published next year.这本书将在明年出版。2．be going to be done常用来表示按计划或安排将要发生的被动动作，如：The old library is going to be pulled down tomorrow.这座旧图书馆明天将被拆除。3．will/shall get＋过去分词，表示一种动作，有时用来表示意想不到的、突然的或偶然发生的情况，多用于口语，如：The computer will get repaired by him.他会修理这台电脑的。 9. —What do you think this picture means? —It’s a picture of two monks (和尚). It’s about ________ to live a better life. A. where they go walking B. why they carry water C. how they work together D. when they climb mountains 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你认为这幅画是什么意思？——这是一幅两个和尚的画。它是关于他们如何合作来过上更好的生活。 where they go walking他们去哪里散步；why they carry water他们为什么挑水；how they work together他们如何合作；when they climb mountains他们什么时候爬山。根据图片可知，图片展示的是两个和尚一起抬水，需要互相配合、共同合作才能更好地生活，应填how they work together。 10. —I have trained hard but kept making mistakes. It drives me mad! —________. Progress takes time and efforts. A. No way B. Cheer up C. Sounds good D. Don’t mention it 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我训练努力，但一直犯错误。它把我逼疯了！——振作起来。进步需要时间和精力。 考查情景交际。No way不行，没门；Cheer up振作起来；Sounds good听起来很好；Don’t mention it 不客气。根据“Progress takes time and efforts.”可知，此处应是鼓励对方振作起来，故选B。 二、完形填空 阅读短文，从每题所给选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（每小题1分，共15分） For Sam, his smartphone was his lifeline, his fun, and his way to avoid social activities. His father often said, “Sam, ____11____! The real world is happening right in front of you! “ But Sam just stayed silent, eyes glued to the ____12____. Then, an accident happened.

A. similar B. painful C. mixed D. empty 25. A. award B. present C. joke D. tool 【答案】11. B 12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A 16. B 17. B 18. C 19. D 20. A 21. B 22. C 23. A 24. C 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了男孩Sam沉迷智能手机，逃避现实社交。一次意外摔坏手机后，他被迫放下手机，开始倾听他人、帮助他人，最终重新发现了面对面交流的美好，学会了掌控手机而非被手机掌控的故事。 【11题详解】 句意：他的父亲经常说：“Sam，抬起头来！真实的世界就在你眼前！” 父亲希望Sam不要一直盯着手机，要关注现实世界。“look up”意为“抬头看”，符合语境。“write down”（写下）、“run away”（逃跑）、“hold on”（坚持）均不符合父亲劝说的语境。 【12题详解】 句意：但Sam只是保持沉默，眼睛死死盯着屏幕。 前文明确提到Sam沉迷“smartphone”（智能手机），因此他盯着的是手机的“screen”（屏幕）。“computer”（电脑）、“book”（书）、“picture”（图片）均与上下文提到的手机无关。 【13题详解】 句意：一个下雨的下午，他匆忙赶公交车时，失去了平衡。 根据后文“His phone flew from his hand”可知，手机脱手是因为他失去了平衡。“lose one's balance”是固定搭配，意为“失去平衡”。“chance”（机会）、“money”（钱）、“direction”（方向）均不能解释手机飞出的原因。 【14题详解】 句意：他的手机从手中飞出，屏幕朝下落在地上。 此处描述手机掉落的动作，“land”意为“落地、降落”，准确表达了手机掉在地上的状态。“stood”（站立）、“disappeared”（消失）、“locked”（锁住）均不能描述物体掉落的动作。 【15题详解】 句意：第一个晚上非常糟糕。 根据后文“He picked up a book but couldn't focus. He thought about his phone every two minutes.”可知，没有手机的Sam无法集中注意力，时刻想着手机，因此第一个晚上过得很“terrible”（糟糕的）。“noisy”（吵闹的）、“usual”（平常的）、“tiring”（累人的）均不符合他此时的状态。 【16题详解】 句意：午饭时，当他的朋友们对着一个热门视频大笑时，他只是坐在那里，无法加入他们。 因为没有手机，Sam无法像朋友们一样观看视频，所以他“unable”（不能）加入他们的讨论。“be unable to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“不能做某事”。“unready”（没准备好的）、“impatient”（不耐烦的）、“improper”（不合适的）均不符合语境。 【17题详解】 句意：他真正地听到了他们的对话。 以前Sam一直沉迷手机，从未认真倾听过别人说话，现在没有手机的干扰，他“truly”（真正地）听到了对话的内容。“probably”（可能）、“secretly”（秘密地）、“regretfully”（遗憾地）均不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：他听到Sarah轻声谈论她生病的狗。 根据后文“he offered a real,heartfelt ‘I’m so sorry.’” 可知，Sam之所以真诚地道歉，是因为Sarah的狗“sick”（生病的）。“lovely”（可爱的）、“funny”（有趣的）、“ugly”（丑陋的）均不会让人产生同情并道歉。 【19题详解】 句意：在回家的公交车上，没有屏幕可以躲藏，他看向窗外。 “look through the window”是固定搭配，意为“透过窗户看”，符合在公交车上看向窗外的场景。“for”（为了）、“past”（经过）、“against”（反对）均不能与“the window”构成符合语境的搭配。 【20题详解】 句意：Sam不假思索地在下一站下车，回去帮助他。 根据前文“having trouble with two heavy bags”可知，老人提着重物有困难，因此Sam回去“help”（帮助）他。“lead”（带领）、“follow”（跟随）、“greet”（问候）均不符合帮助老人的语境。 【21题详解】 句意：整整一个小时，Sam被Jenkins先生年轻时当领航员的故事吸引住了。 根据后文“It was better than any video on the phone.”可知，Sam被故事深深吸引了。“be attracted by”意为“被……吸引”。“prevented”（阻止）、“troubled”（困扰）、“educated”（教育）均不符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：他把自己的画给爸爸看，爸爸又惊又喜，翻出了自己大学时的建筑设计稿。 根据前文“Sam started doodling in an old notebook”以及后文“their art”可知，父子俩分享的是艺术作品，因此爸爸翻出的是自己的“designs”（设计稿）。“mysteries”（谜团）、“prices”（价格）、“covers”（封面）均与“art”无关。 【23题详解】 句意：他们花了一整个晚上分享他们的艺术作品，聊天、大笑，这是多年来从未有过的。 父子俩互相展示自己的作品，这个过程是“sharing”（分享）。“forming”（形成）、“preparing”（准备）、“completing”（完成）均不符合语境。 【24题详解】 句意：当修好的手机终于送到时，Sam拿着它，心情复杂。 根据后文“He still used it, but he controlled it.” 可知，Sam对手机的态度发生了变化，既不像以前那样沉迷，也不会完全不用，因此心情是“mixed”（复杂的）。“similar”（相似的）、“painful”（痛苦的）、“empty”（空虚的）均不符合。 【25题详解】 句意：现在手机感觉像是一个工具，而不是他世界的中心。 根据后文“He still used it, but he controlled it.” 可知，Sam现在把手机当作一个“tool”（工具）来使用，而不是被它掌控。项“award”（奖品）、“present”（礼物）、项“joke”（笑话）均不符合语境。 三、阅读理解 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（本题共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） A Offices Then and Now In most offices, there were only males. Nearly everyone followed the same nine-to-five schedule (日程安排). They worked at desk stations that looked pretty much the same. Typewriters (打字机) became a very common sight in offices. Modern typewriters were designed especially for workplaces. They made very little noise. ▲ More and more people began to use desktop computers instead of typewriters. The soft clicking of keyboards sounded more pleasant than that of typewriters. More women took on roles as secretaries, managers, and engineers. Offices were no longer just “men’s clubs”. New office technologies kept rolling in. More and more people started using notebook computers and fax machines (传真机). At the same time, international business partnerships began to grow. The Internet was widely used. People were able to work from a far place. Notebook computers and mobile phones made it easier for workers to stay connected to the office at all times. Today, technology is at the heart of almost everything in offices. Thanks to mobile devices and cloud computing (云端计算), people can work together even if they are hundreds of miles away. 26. According to the text, what was a common characteristic of offices in the 1960s? A. Many women worked as managers. B. Only men worked in most offices. C. Everyone used notebook computers. D. People worked different schedules. 27. Which sentence best fits the blank ▲ in the text? A. Few people knew how to use them. B. Women were not allowed to use typewriters. C. They were also very heavy and hard to move. D. This made people work more quietly and better. 28. Based on the text, what can we infer (推论) about office work in the 1980s? A. People stopped using typewriters completely. B. Females started to have more job chances in offices. C. Offices became noisier because of desktop computers. D. Men didn’t work as secretaries, managers or engineers. 29. What does the text tell us about today’s offices? A. Distance matters less than before. B. People prefer to work in the same office. C. Workers seldom need to communicate. D. Technology is reducing the need for offices. 30. Where can you most probably read this text? A. In a personal diary about the office life. B. In an instruction for using different office machines. C. In a novel about a company’s development. D. In a magazine about the history of office technology. 【答案】26. B 27. D 28. B 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，按时间顺序介绍了办公室技术和工作环境从20世纪60年代至今的演变过程。 【26题详解】 1960s提到：“In most offices, there were only males.”，说明20世纪60年代大多数办公室只有男性工作。 【27题详解】 1970s提到现代打字机噪音很小，因此空白处应承接这一特点，说明这种设计让人们工作更安静、更高效，D项符合逻辑。 【28题详解】 1980s提到：“More women took on roles as secretaries, managers, and engineers.”，由此可推断20世纪80年代女性在办公室中获得更多工作机会。 【29题详解】 today提到：“people can work together even if they are hundreds of miles away.”，说明如今距离对协作的影响变小了。 【30题详解】 全文按时间顺序介绍办公室技术的发展变化，最可能出现在关于办公技术史的杂志中。 B Dujiangyan: An Ancient Solution to Modern Problems Dujiangyan is an ancient irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan, China. It was designed by Li Bing, a local governor, and built over 2,200 years ago during the Qin Dynasty. Unlike modern dams (水坝), Dujiangyan has no walls to prevent water running. Instead, it uses three main parts to control flooding and irrigate farmland. The first part is the “Fish Mouth”. Shaped like a fish’s mouth, it stands in the middle of the Min River. Because of its special shape, it divides the river into two channels: the inner channel for watering crops and the outer channel for taking away extra water during floods. The second part is the “Flying Sand Weir” (飞沙堰). This is built to slacken the water as it passes through. The action makes the water less forceful. When the water loses its strength, it can no longer hold the heavy sediment (泥沙). The sand and mud then drop to the bottom. This keeps the inner channel clean without using machines. The third part is the “Bottle-Neck Channel”. This is a narrow passage cut through the mountain rock. Just like a natural valve (阀门), it controls how much water enters the farmlands. This prevents flooding and provides a steady flow of clean water. Dujiangyan solved two major problems in ancient Sichuan: floods and droughts. Before it was built, floods did great harm to crops every summer. In winter, however, droughts dried up fields. Today, Dujiangyan is still in use. It irrigates over 5,300 square kilometers of land, supporting six million people. In 2000, UNESCO named it a World Heritage Site (世界文化遗产) for its “scientific and technological achievements.” 31. According to the article, Dujiangyan is different from modern dams because it ________. A. supports six million people B. is made up of three main parts C. prevents water without walls D. can irrigate farmland and control floods 32. What does the underlined word “slacken” mean in the article? A. clean up B. speed up C. slow down D. freeze down 33. Which part in the picture is the “Fish Mouth”? A. Part 1. B. Part 2. C. Part 3. D. Part 4. 34. Before Dujiangyan was built, what was the main problem in Sichuan according to the article? A. Too much sand and the dirty water. B. No technology to build strong dams. C. The flow direction of the Min River. D. Floods in summer and droughts in winter. 35. What is the main purpose of this article? A. To describe why Li Bing built Dujiangyan. B. To compare Dujiangyan with modern dams. C. To explain how Dujiangyan works and its importance. D. To introduce a well-known tourist attraction in Sichuan. 【答案】31. C 32. C 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了都江堰这一古代水利工程的工作原理、组成部分及其重要意义。 【31题详解】 第一段明确指出：“Unlike modern dams, Dujiangyan has no walls to prevent water running.”，说明都江堰与现代水坝的不同之处在于它没有用于挡水的墙。 【32题详解】 第二段中提到：“This is built to slacken the water as it passes through. The action makes the water less forceful.”，接着解释水流失去力量后泥沙会沉淀。由此推断，“slacken”意为使水流变缓，即“slow down”。 【33题详解】 第二段中提到：“it stands in the middle of the Min River...it divides the river into two channels: the inner channel for watering crops and the outer channel for taking away extra water during floods.”，鱼嘴（Fish Mouth）位于岷江中部，功能是把岷江分为内江和外江，对应图中最上游负责分流的Part 1。 【34题详解】 第三段明确指出：“Before it was built, floods did great harm to crops every summer. In winter, however, droughts dried up fields.”，说明都江堰修建前四川面临的主要问题是夏季洪水和冬季干旱。 【35题详解】 全文介绍了都江堰的组成部分、工作原理以及历史意义，因此主要目的是解释都江堰如何运作及其重要性。 C With his heartwarming party invitation, Doug Turner, an 87-year-old man proved that friendship has no age limit. Wanting to have a good relationship with neighbors, he sent a handmade invitation to Michelle Hernandez in person. Michelle, a 29-year-old young woman, was working from home when the doorbell rang. Standing at the gate was her neighbour, Doug. When Doug handed her a folded piece of paper with a warm smile, he could clearly see the amazement on her face. “Hi, I’m Doug across the street...” Doug said. “This is an invitation to a party I’m having on April 15.” It read “A Celebration of Spring” with carefully-drawn flowers. Adding a touch of humour, it listed the party’s start time as “4 p.m. until the police arrive”. Michelle laughed a lot as she read the note. She and her husband were new arrivals and had only crossed paths with Doug a few times. Yet, his thoughtful act left a lasting impression. “It was so sweet,” she said. Michelle was impressed by Doug’s effort to personally send each handmade invitation, which included the promise of “Food and drinks on offer”. Thinking about the rareness of such an act, she said, “People don’t really do that any more.” Michelle shared Doug’s invitation online. The video quickly went viral (走红), gaining over 1.3 million views. Doug never expected the video to attract so much attention. Since his wife passed away in 2022, Doug has made it a yearly tradition to host a spring party for his neighbors. He provides all the food and drinks, asking only that guests bring a smile. Doug valued the sense of community he and his wife built by welcoming neighbors into their homes. He found his strongest friendships in his neighbourhood. He wanted to keep those connections alive, then he started a yearly spring party to connect with longtime friends and introduce new neighbors. 36. What was Michelle’s reaction (反应) to Doug’s invitation at first? A. She was surprised. B. She felt shy. C. She thought it usual. D. She felt satisfied. 37. What does Michelle really mean by saying “People don’t really do that any more”? A. No one is really interested in the spring parties today. B. People are too busy to join neighborhood social parties. C. Few people take the effort to make friends with neighbors. D. Old people seldom hold parties for much younger neighbors. 38. The main purpose of the last paragraph is to ________. A. praise Doug and his wife for their kindness B. suggest that neighbors should do the same thing C. explain why Doug started the spring party tradition D. show how Doug built the friendly community with his wife 39. Which of the following would Doug most probably agree with? A. Online popularity is the best result of a kind action. B. Neighbors should make efforts to hold the spring party. C. Friendship mainly happens between people of different ages. D. Handmade invitations aren’t out of fashion in modern society. 40. What is the best title for the text? A. Doug’s Winter Party Tradition B. Handmade Invitation, Heartwarming Connection C. Special Community Events D. Wife’s Sweet Memory, Deep Lasting Influence 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. C 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了87岁的Doug Turner亲手制作并亲自递送派对邀请函给邻居Michelle的故事，展现了跨越年龄的友谊和邻里之间的温情，并说明了他自妻子去世后每年举办春季派对的传统。 【36题详解】 第二段指出Michelle的反应：“he could clearly see the amazement on her face”，说明她起初感到惊讶。 【37题详解】 结合前文语境，Doug为了和邻居搞好关系，亲自手工制作邀请、上门送邀请，这种主动花精力和邻居结交的行为在现代很少见。这句话并不是说没人喜欢派对、人们太忙或是年龄问题，真正含义是“现在很少有人会花精力主动和邻居交朋友”。 【38题详解】 最后一段指出Doug珍惜和妻子一起打造的社区邻里联结，为了把这种联结维持下去，他才开始举办年度春季派对，因此这段的核心目的是解释Doug开办春季派对传统的原因。 【39题详解】 第四段指出Michelle对Doug行为的评价：“Michelle was impressed by Doug’s effort to personally send each handmade invitation”，说明她认为手写邀请函在现代社会并不过时。 【40题详解】 文章围绕Doug亲手制作的邀请函及其带来的温暖邻里联系展开，因此B项“手工邀请，暖心联结”最能概括文章主旨。 D People from different ages often do things differently. Today’s young adults prefer to express themselves. They also care more about meaningful experiences. How are these changing preferences reshaping the tourism industry? Here are some of the top travel trends (趋势) around the world. Would you like to jump on the fashion? Event-led escapes Young travelers today seem more “adventurous (爱冒险的)”. They choose places to go because of concerts, festivals or other fun events that match their interests. Take Francisco, a 24-year-old bank worker, for example. He traveled to Spain (西班牙) last year to join the Saint Juan’s Day celebrations. He spent a day cooking with a local family, learning how to make croquetas and paella. Later, he joined a party in local clothes, enjoying colourful fireworks and dances on the beach. Real human connections, he said, were what the trip was all about. Deadzoning Although young people spend a lot of time online, many of them want to go “off the grid” when they travel. Even when they can’t fully disconnect, young travelers try not to stay tied to work as older people often do. “Working while traveling is quite popular,” said Sean Richard, a travel agent. “But they usually spend no more than an hour answering emails in the morning. For the rest of the day, they turn off their phones completely.” Me-kends Can you guess what this word means? Here’s a tip: It sounds like “weekends”. Young people are now taking shorter but more frequent (频繁的) trips. Older people often take a two-week holiday at the end of the year. Many of the post-00s (00后), however, prefer five or six four-day “mini-vacations” throughout the year. With remote work becoming more common, such vacations are now reachable for more young people. Family miles Travelling with family is gaining popularity. According to Skyscanner, a travel search engine, 52 percent of the post-00s have traveled with their parents over the past two years. Among the post-80s (80后), that number is just 25 percent. This shows that young people place more value on quality time with family. They want to create lasting memories with their loved ones. Altitude shifting Young travelers are reaching new heights while traveling. More and more of them are choosing to go hiking in the mountains. “It’s more peaceful in the mountains,” said Laura Lindsay at Skyscanner. “That sense of peace is exactly what’s winning young people’s hearts.” 41. Which travel trend does the picture next to the article most likely show? A. Me-kends. B. Family miles. C. Altitude shifting. D. Event-led escapes. 42. We can learn from the article that “croquetas” and “paella” are the names of ________. A. Spanish dishes B. Spanish clothes C. Spanish fireworks D. Spanish dances 43. Which bar chart (条形图) in the picture below shows how most young travelers work while traveling? A. A B. B C. C D. D 44. In the article, the writer mentions “remote work” most likely to ________. A. tell why older people seldom do remote work B. show that young people dislike working in offices C. explain why a travel trend is becoming more possible D. describe how remote work makes trips more enjoyable 45.

For the rest of the day, they turn off their phones completely.”，说明年轻人旅行时通常只在早上花不超过1小时处理工作，其余时间完全放下工作休闲，即工作仅占早上很小一部分，其余全部为休闲时间，对应B选项的条形图。 【44题详解】 在Me-kends趋势中，作者提到：“With remote work becoming more common, such vacations are now reachable for more young people.”，说明远程工作的普及使得更多年轻人能够实现频繁的短途旅行，因此提及“remote work”是为了解释为什么一种旅行趋势变得更加可行。 【45题详解】 通读全文可知，文章围绕当代年轻人旅游观念、喜好发生的诸多变化展开，分别介绍五种新型出游方式，这些趋势都体现出年轻游客的价值观正在发生转变。 第Ⅱ部分 非选择题（55分） 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填1个单词。（每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填1个单词。 The True Horsepower When we think of horses, we often imagine them racing across open land and catching everyone’s attention. But horses aren’t just about speed. They also stand for something deeper: hard work and confidence. English has many idioms (习语) that show this “other side” of horses. And it comes as no surprise that people born in the Year of the Horse share these characteristics, too. “Work like a Horse” To “work like a horse” means to work very hard for a long time without stopping. Picture a farm horse doing heavy work. It can’t run across the field. It just walks step by step, even when it is tired. Tu Youyou is a great example of this. She is the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine in Chinese history, which brought her to the attention of the whole world. She worked for many years to find a medicine for malaria (疟疾). She failed many times, but she never gave up her dream and succeeded at last. That’s what “work like a horse” means: Keep going until the work finally pays off. “Dark Horse” A “dark horse” is someone who wins when nobody expects them to. This idiom comes from horse racing: Sometimes, the horse that looks common at the start wins in the end. But is a “dark horse” win really so “sudden”? Usually, it only looks sudden because other people didn’t see the hard training behind the win. True dark horses have a dream and believe in themselves, even when others underestimate (低估) them. People used to call Zheng Qinwen a “dark horse.” The rising tennis star made history as the first Chinese athlete to win Olympic tennis singles gold. “When I’m on the court, I feel a fire burning in my heart,” Zheng said. “I believe I can win in the end. And I believe ‘an Asian player, a Chinese player,’ can also win a Grand Slam.” The wise young woman trained hard not only before matches but every day. Yes, horses can be fast. But true horsepower is not about being fast but about making slow and steady progress. So work hard and believe in yourself — and one day, you might surprise everyone, including yourself!

Nearly everyone followed the same nine-to-five schedule (日程安排). They worked at desk stations that looked pretty much the same. Typewriters (打字机) became a very common sight in offices. Modern typewriters were designed especially for workplaces. They made very little noise. ▲ More and more people began to use desktop computers instead of typewriters. The soft clicking of keyboards sounded more pleasant than that of typewriters. More women took on roles as secretaries, managers, and engineers. Offices were no longer just “men’s clubs”. New office technologies kept rolling in. More and more people started using notebook computers and fax machines (传真机). At the same time, international business partnerships began to grow. The Internet was widely used. People were able to work from a far place. Notebook computers and mobile phones made it easier for workers to stay connected to the office at all times. Today, technology is at the heart of almost everything in offices. Thanks to mobile devices and cloud computing (云端计算), people can work together even if they are hundreds of miles away. 26. According to the text, what was a common characteristic of offices in the 1960s? A. Many women worked as managers. B. Only men worked in most offices. C. Everyone used notebook computers. D. People worked different schedules. 27. Which sentence best fits the blank ▲ in the text? A. Few people knew how to use them. B. Women were not allowed to use typewriters. C. They were also very heavy and hard to move. D. This made people work more quietly and better. 28. Based on the text, what can we infer (推论) about office work in the 1980s? A. People stopped using typewriters completely. B. Females started to have more job chances in offices. C. Offices became noisier because of desktop computers. D. Men didn’t work as secretaries, managers or engineers. 29. What does the text tell us about today’s offices? A. Distance matters less than before. B. People prefer to work in the same office. C. Workers seldom need to communicate. D. Technology is reducing the need for offices. 30. Where can you most probably read this text? A. In a personal diary about the office life. B. In an instruction for using different office machines. C. In a novel about a company’s development. D. In a magazine about the history of office technology. B Dujiangyan: An Ancient Solution to Modern Problems Dujiangyan is an ancient irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan, China. It was designed by Li Bing, a local governor, and built over 2,200 years ago during the Qin Dynasty. Unlike modern dams (水坝), Dujiangyan has no walls to prevent water running. Instead, it uses three main parts to control flooding and irrigate farmland. The first part is the “Fish Mouth”. Shaped like a fish’s mouth, it stands in the middle of the Min River. Because of its special shape, it divides the river into two channels: the inner channel for watering crops and the outer channel for taking away extra water during floods. The second part is the “Flying Sand Weir” (飞沙堰). This is built to slacken the water as it passes through. The action makes the water less forceful. When the water loses its strength, it can no longer hold the heavy sediment (泥沙). The sand and mud then drop to the bottom. This keeps the inner channel clean without using machines. The third part is the “Bottle-Neck Channel”. This is a narrow passage cut through the mountain rock. Just like a natural valve (阀门), it controls how much water enters the farmlands. This prevents flooding and provides a steady flow of clean water. Dujiangyan solved two major problems in ancient Sichuan: floods and droughts. Before it was built, floods did great harm to crops every summer. In winter, however, droughts dried up fields. Today, Dujiangyan is still in use. It irrigates over 5,300 square kilometers of land, supporting six million people. In 2000, UNESCO named it a World Heritage Site (世界文化遗产) for its “scientific and technological achievements.” 31. According to the article, Dujiangyan is different from modern dams because it ________. A. supports six million people B. is made up of three main parts C. prevents water without walls D. can irrigate farmland and control floods 32. What does the underlined word “slacken” mean in the article? A. clean up B. speed up C. slow down D. freeze down 33. Which part in the picture is the “Fish Mouth”? A. Part 1. B. Part 2. C. Part 3. D. Part 4. 34. Before Dujiangyan was built, what was the main problem in Sichuan according to the article? A. Too much sand and the dirty water. B. No technology to build strong dams. C. The flow direction of the Min River. D. Floods in summer and droughts in winter. 35. What is the main purpose of this article? A. To describe why Li Bing built Dujiangyan. B. To compare Dujiangyan with modern dams. C. To explain how Dujiangyan works and its importance. D. To introduce a well-known tourist attraction in Sichuan. C With his heartwarming party invitation, Doug Turner, an 87-year-old man proved that friendship has no age limit. Wanting to have a good relationship with neighbors, he sent a handmade invitation to Michelle Hernandez in person. Michelle, a 29-year-old young woman, was working from home when the doorbell rang. Standing at the gate was her neighbour, Doug. When Doug handed her a folded piece of paper with a warm smile, he could clearly see the amazement on her face. “Hi, I’m Doug across the street...” Doug said. “This is an invitation to a party I’m having on April 15.” It read “A Celebration of Spring” with carefully-drawn flowers. Adding a touch of humour, it listed the party’s start time as “4 p.m. until the police arrive”. Michelle laughed a lot as she read the note. She and her husband were new arrivals and had only crossed paths with Doug a few times. Yet, his thoughtful act left a lasting impression. “It was so sweet,” she said. Michelle was impressed by Doug’s effort to personally send each handmade invitation, which included the promise of “Food and drinks on offer”. Thinking about the rareness of such an act, she said, “People don’t really do that any more.” Michelle shared Doug’s invitation online. The video quickly went viral (走红), gaining over 1.3 million views. Doug never expected the video to attract so much attention. Since his wife passed away in 2022, Doug has made it a yearly tradition to host a spring party for his neighbors. He provides all the food and drinks, asking only that guests bring a smile. Doug valued the sense of community he and his wife built by welcoming neighbors into their homes. He found his strongest friendships in his neighbourhood. He wanted to keep those connections alive, then he started a yearly spring party to connect with longtime friends and introduce new neighbors. 36. What was Michelle’s reaction (反应) to Doug’s invitation at first? A. She was surprised. B. She felt shy. C. She thought it usual. D. She felt satisfied. 37. What does Michelle really mean by saying “People don’t really do that any more”? A. No one is really interested in the spring parties today. B. People are too busy to join neighborhood social parties. C. Few people take the effort to make friends with neighbors. D. Old people seldom hold parties for much younger neighbors. 38. The main purpose of the last paragraph is to ________. A. praise Doug and his wife for their kindness B. suggest that neighbors should do the same thing C. explain why Doug started the spring party tradition D. show how Doug built the friendly community with his wife 39. Which of the following would Doug most probably agree with? A. Online popularity is the best result of a kind action. B. Neighbors should make efforts to hold the spring party. C. Friendship mainly happens between people of different ages. D. Handmade invitations aren’t out of fashion in modern society. 40. What is the best title for the text? A. Doug’s Winter Party Tradition B. Handmade Invitation, Heartwarming Connection C. Special Community Events D. Wife’s Sweet Memory, Deep Lasting Influence D People from different ages often do things differently. Today’s young adults prefer to express themselves. They also care more about meaningful experiences. How are these changing preferences reshaping the tourism industry? Here are some of the top travel trends (趋势) around the world. Would you like to jump on the fashion? Event-led escapes Young travelers today seem more “adventurous (爱冒险的)”. They choose places to go because of concerts, festivals or other fun events that match their interests. Take Francisco, a 24-year-old bank worker, for example. He traveled to Spain (西班牙) last year to join the Saint Juan’s Day celebrations. He spent a day cooking with a local family, learning how to make croquetas and paella. Later, he joined a party in local clothes, enjoying colourful fireworks and dances on the beach. Real human connections, he said, were what the trip was all about. Deadzoning Although young people spend a lot of time online, many of them want to go “off the grid” when they travel. Even when they can’t fully disconnect, young travelers try not to stay tied to work as older people often do. “Working while traveling is quite popular,” said Sean Richard, a travel agent. “But they usually spend no more than an hour answering emails in the morning. For the rest of the day, they turn off their phones completely.” Me-kends Can you guess what this word means? Here’s a tip: It sounds like “weekends”. Young people are now taking shorter but more frequent (频繁的) trips. Older people often take a two-week holiday at the end of the year. Many of the post-00s (00后), however, prefer five or six four-day “mini-vacations” throughout the year. With remote work becoming more common, such vacations are now reachable for more young people. Family miles Travelling with family is gaining popularity. According to Skyscanner, a travel search engine, 52 percent of the post-00s have traveled with their parents over the past two years. Among the post-80s (80后), that number is just 25 percent. This shows that young people place more value on quality time with family. They want to create lasting memories with their loved ones. Altitude shifting Young travelers are reaching new heights while traveling. More and more of them are choosing to go hiking in the mountains. “It’s more peaceful in the mountains,” said Laura Lindsay at Skyscanner. “That sense of peace is exactly what’s winning young people’s hearts.” 41. Which travel trend does the picture next to the article most likely show? A. Me-kends. B. Family miles. C. Altitude shifting. D. Event-led escapes. 42. We can learn from the article that “croquetas” and “paella” are the names of ________. A. Spanish dishes B. Spanish clothes C. Spanish fireworks D. Spanish dances 43. Which bar chart (条形图) in the picture below shows how most young travelers work while traveling? A. A B. B C. C D. D 44. In the article, the writer mentions “remote work” most likely to ________.

But horses aren’t just about speed. They also stand for something deeper: hard work and confidence. English has many idioms (习语) that show this “other side” of horses. And it comes as no surprise that people born in the Year of the Horse share these characteristics, too. “Work like a Horse” To “work like a horse” means to work very hard for a long time without stopping. Picture a farm horse doing heavy work. It can’t run across the field. It just walks step by step, even when it is tired. Tu Youyou is a great example of this. She is the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine in Chinese history, which brought her to the attention of the whole world. She worked for many years to find a medicine for malaria (疟疾). She failed many times, but she never gave up her dream and succeeded at last. That’s what “work like a horse” means: Keep going until the work finally pays off. “Dark Horse” A “dark horse” is someone who wins when nobody expects them to. This idiom comes from horse racing: Sometimes, the horse that looks common at the start wins in the end. But is a “dark horse” win really so “sudden”? Usually, it only looks sudden because other people didn’t see the hard training behind the win. True dark horses have a dream and believe in themselves, even when others underestimate (低估) them. People used to call Zheng Qinwen a “dark horse.” The rising tennis star made history as the first Chinese athlete to win Olympic tennis singles gold. “When I’m on the court, I feel a fire burning in my heart,” Zheng said. “I believe I can win in the end. And I believe ‘an Asian player, a Chinese player,’ can also win a Grand Slam.” The wise young woman trained hard not only before matches but every day. Yes, horses can be fast. But true horsepower is not about being fast but about making slow and steady progress. So work hard and believe in yourself — and one day, you might surprise everyone, including yourself!
