“I’m so glad we’re finally leaving this miserable place,” Brianna said to her husband Tom. They were moving to Saturn since they had lived on Neptune long enough, to know that this was not where they wanted their children to grow up.
“Jimmy, get out of my room!” Mia shouted.
“Come on, Mia. I’m done packing. Let me help!” Jimmy, her elder brother pleaded.
Mia wondered why her annoying brother wanted to help her. But she finally gave him a blue bag. “You can take it downstairs.”
Jimmy carried the bag over his shoulder, nearly falling over under the weight. “What’s in here? Rocks?” he asked.
“Books,” Mia replied. “Dad told me that Mom had built us a spaceship. There’s plenty of space.”
“Wow,” the children were amazed as they got on the spaceship. Soon, they were in space. The view was fantastic, but suddenly, they noticed a giant rock in their way.
“Is that flying towards us?” Mia asked.
“It’s an asteroid!” Tom shouted. “Everybody take cover!”
Mia screamed as the giant rock hit the spaceship. Everything went dark.
Mia opened her eyes. There’s a ringing in her ears. She saw her mother and brother lying beside. They were both still. Jimmy didn’t seem to breathe. Mia put her ear to his chest. “Thump.” She could hear Jimmy’s heart beat. She kept calling his name. Jimmy slowly opened his eyes. Mia hugged her brother closely. “I’m never letting go again,” she said.
“My… leg …” Jimmy mumbled. Mia let go, apologizing.
“Wow,” Jimmy replied. “That was fast. Didn’t expect you to break your promise that quick.”
Mia rolled her eyes. Then she found Brianna awake. She and Jimmy moved towards her, helping her upright.
“Where’s Tom?” Brianna asked.
They heard a faint voice. “I am here.”
Together, the family made their way to the planet’s surface. As they explored, Brianna fell into a hole.
“Mom!” Mia shouted. “Are you okay?”
“Come down here,” Brianna called.
“Aliens,” Brianna replied.
Everyone jumped down. Mia noticed a blue stone behind Jimmy. “Hello!” the stone said. “I’m Pebble, and these are Stony and Gabbry.”
Brianna laughed. “Pebble, Stony, and Gabbry. Cute.”
“Can we stay with you?” Mia asked.
“Just until we find our way to Saturn,” Tom added. Mia opened her eyes.
The Rock Aliens huddled in a group and discussed for a while. Then Pebble walked over and hugged Jimmy’s good leg. “We’ve got new roommates!” she laughed.
31. What did Mia and her family do immediately after they woke up?
A. They made their way to the hole.

A. He didn’t accept Mia’s apology.
B. He reminded Mia to keep her promise.
C. He was upset since Mia had hurt his leg.

C. The family would stay on the planet for some time.
D. The family would return to Neptune as soon as possible.

No one wants to be seen as a liar. Liars are considered untrustworthy at best and immoral at worst. And yet, we keep lying to ourselves all the time: “I’ll enjoy this sleeve of Oreos today because my diet starts tomorrow,” I might tell myself. Or even—ironically “I am always honest with myself”.
Few people are completely honest with others. Research from the University of Massachusetts on undergraduate students found that 60 percent lied at least once during a 10-minute conversation, and many lied several times. No one is completely honest with themselves, because the truth hurts.
Sometimes, people engage in (参与) self-deception to protect their ego (自尊) or gather courage. For example, if you are not good at public speaking, you might try to increase your courage before a scary presentation by talking to yourself: “I am a great public speaker!” However, to fake it till you make it is one thing; to fake it forever, even to yourself, is entirely different. Such is the case if your success at work or school is the result of cheating but you choose to chalk it up to your own merit (优秀品质).
All that self-deception takes a lot of work to maintain (保持).It is costly not only because avoiding problems can make them worse but also because the procrastinator (拖延者) must do the mental work of a task over and over, without reaping (获得) the rewards of actually getting it done. Why write “Change banks” on your to-do list for months on end instead of doing it once and being free of the task?
Self-deception will never lead you to the deepest kind of satisfaction. That contentment can be found only within the true version of yourself. Personal integrity (正直) is absolutely necessary for personal progress, which psychologists show is a central element of happiness. Progress requires knowing honestly where you are compared with where you have been.
If you ignore your flaws (缺点), you can’t correct them. Research shows that self-deception is connected with an inability to see our own flaws, which makes self-improvement harder. Refusing to admit that I am a bit neurotic (神经质的) might make me feel better in the moment, but it also discourages me from undertaking efforts to change for the long-term good of myself and those around me.
34. Why does the author use the example of Oreos in Paragraph 1?
A. To prove that eating snacks affects people’s dieting plans.
B. To show a common form of self-deception in daily life.
C. To stress the popularity of Oreos among dieters.
D. To explain why lying to others is harmful.
35. What does the underlined phrase “chalk it up to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Add it up to. B. Think of it as.
C. Take it away from. D. Write it down as.
36. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?
A. Making a to-do-list helps avoid lying to yourself.
B. Never-ending satisfaction results in self-deception.
C. Self-deception is a harmless way to protect their self-respect.
D. Admitting our weaknesses is important for self-improvement.
37. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to stop lying to themselves.
B. To introduce a new study about self-deception.
C. To tell people to see and correct their weaknesses.
D. To show the bad effects of self-deception.

【19题详解】
句意:Mateo注意到一只瘦瘦的黑猫,身上的毛有些缺失。
下文“with some of its fur missing”及后文提到的“hair loss, poor appetite”表明这只猫很瘦弱,thin“瘦的”符合语境,fat“胖的”、strong“强壮的”和lovely“可爱的”不符合描述。

【导语】本文是一篇实验报告,介绍了刘明学习小组为模拟温室效应而设计的一项实验。实验通过对比用玻璃罐覆盖的杯子(模拟温室)与未覆盖的杯子,来展示温室效应中热量保持的作用。
【28题详解】
根据“Place”部分的描述:“An outdoor area with direct sunlight (they picked a place without tree shade or building shadows to make sure both cups get the same sunlight)”,实验需要阳光直射,因此天气应为晴朗。
【29题详解】
结合原文Steps(步骤)中的内容和题中的图示可知:步骤1准备两个装满泥土的杯子,在杯子上标记A和B,对应图②;步骤2将温度计放入两个杯子,对应图④;步骤3将两个杯子放在阳光下10分钟,在A1和B1上记录两个杯子的温度,对应图①;步骤4将玻璃罐倒扣在A杯上,保持B杯不变,10分钟后,记录A2和B2的温度,对应图③,因此正确顺序为②→④→①→③。
【30题详解】
根据“Record”部分数据:A1=28°C,A2=31°C(升高3°C);B1=28°C,B2=29°C(升高1°C)。因此结论为:用玻璃罐覆盖的杯子A比未覆盖的杯子B温度升高更多。

“I’m so glad we’re finally leaving this miserable place,” Brianna said to her husband Tom. They were moving to Saturn since they had lived on Neptune long enough, to know that this was not where they wanted their children to grow up.
“Jimmy, get out of my room!” Mia shouted.
“Come on, Mia. I’m done packing. Let me help!” Jimmy, her elder brother pleaded.
Mia wondered why her annoying brother wanted to help her. But she finally gave him a blue bag. “You can take it downstairs.”
Jimmy carried the bag over his shoulder, nearly falling over under the weight. “What’s in here? Rocks?” he asked.
“Books,” Mia replied. “Dad told me that Mom had built us a spaceship. There’s plenty of space.”
“Wow,” the children were amazed as they got on the spaceship. Soon, they were in space. The view was fantastic, but suddenly, they noticed a giant rock in their way.
“Is that flying towards us?” Mia asked.
“It’s an asteroid!” Tom shouted. “Everybody take cover!”
Mia screamed as the giant rock hit the spaceship. Everything went dark.
Mia opened her eyes. There’s a ringing in her ears. She saw her mother and brother lying beside. They were both still. Jimmy didn’t seem to breathe. Mia put her ear to his chest. “Thump.” She could hear Jimmy’s heart beat. She kept calling his name. Jimmy slowly opened his eyes. Mia hugged her brother closely. “I’m never letting go again,” she said.
“My… leg …” Jimmy mumbled. Mia let go, apologizing.
“Wow,” Jimmy replied. “That was fast. Didn’t expect you to break your promise that quick.”
Mia rolled her eyes. Then she found Brianna awake. She and Jimmy moved towards her, helping her upright.
“Where’s Tom?” Brianna asked.
They heard a faint voice. “I am here.”
Together, the family made their way to the planet’s surface. As they explored, Brianna fell into a hole.
“Mom!” Mia shouted. “Are you okay?”
“Come down here,” Brianna called.
“Aliens,” Brianna replied.
Everyone jumped down. Mia noticed a blue stone behind Jimmy. “Hello!” the stone said. “I’m Pebble, and these are Stony and Gabbry.”
Brianna laughed. “Pebble, Stony, and Gabbry. Cute.”
“Can we stay with you?” Mia asked.
“Just until we find our way to Saturn,” Tom added. Mia opened her eyes.
The Rock Aliens huddled in a group and discussed for a while. Then Pebble walked over and hugged Jimmy’s good leg. “We’ve got new roommates!” she laughed.
31. What did Mia and her family do immediately after they woke up?
A. They made their way to the hole.
B. They checked on their family members.
C. They began looking for the stone aliens.
D. They started to explore the unknown planet.
32. What did Jimmy mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 13?
A. He didn’t accept Mia’s apology.
B. He reminded Mia to keep her promise.
C. He was upset since Mia had hurt his leg.
D. He told a joke to make Mia less worried.
33. According to the story, what would most probably happen next?
A. The family would fly to Saturn at once.
B. The family would build a house for the aliens.
C. The family would stay on the planet for some time.
D. The family would return to Neptune as soon as possible.
【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇科幻故事,讲述了一个家庭从海王星迁往土星途中遭遇小行星撞击,迫降在一个陌生星球后与岩石外星人相遇的经历。故事围绕家庭成员之间的互动、危机中的互助以及意外发现展开。
【31题详解】
第8段到第11段描述了撞击后Mia醒来,发现母亲和哥哥躺在旁边,她首先检查哥哥是否呼吸、听心跳并呼唤他的名字,母亲Brianna醒来后也询问Tom的下落。这直接说明他们醒来后最先做的是检查家人的状况。
【32题详解】
第13段中,Jimmy说“That was fast. Didn’t expect you to break your promise that quick.” 结合前文Mia刚说“I’m never letting go again”就因碰到Jimmy的伤腿而松手,Jimmy这句话是用幽默的方式调侃姐姐迅速“违背承诺”,目的是缓解紧张气氛,让Mia不那么担心。
【33题详解】
最后几段提到Mia请求“Can we stay with you?”,Tom补充“Just until we find our way to Saturn”,岩石外星人们商量后表示欢迎。这说明接下来最可能发生的是他们会在这个星球暂时停留一段时间,而不是立刻离开。
D
No one wants to be seen as a liar. Liars are considered untrustworthy at best and immoral at worst. And yet, we keep lying to ourselves all the time: “I’ll enjoy this sleeve of Oreos today because my diet starts tomorrow,” I might tell myself. Or even—ironically “I am always honest with myself”.
Few people are completely honest with others. Research from the University of Massachusetts on undergraduate students found that 60 percent lied at least once during a 10-minute conversation, and many lied several times. No one is completely honest with themselves, because the truth hurts.
Sometimes, people engage in (参与) self-deception to protect their ego (自尊) or gather courage. For example, if you are not good at public speaking, you might try to increase your courage before a scary presentation by talking to yourself: “I am a great public speaker!” However, to fake it till you make it is one thing; to fake it forever, even to yourself, is entirely different. Such is the case if your success at work or school is the result of cheating but you choose to chalk it up to your own merit (优秀品质).
All that self-deception takes a lot of work to maintain (保持).It is costly not only because avoiding problems can make them worse but also because the procrastinator (拖延者) must do the mental work of a task over and over, without reaping (获得) the rewards of actually getting it done. Why write “Change banks” on your to-do list for months on end instead of doing it once and being free of the task?
Self-deception will never lead you to the deepest kind of satisfaction. That contentment can be found only within the true version of yourself. Personal integrity (正直) is absolutely necessary for personal progress, which psychologists show is a central element of happiness. Progress requires knowing honestly where you are compared with where you have been.
If you ignore your flaws (缺点), you can’t correct them. Research shows that self-deception is connected with an inability to see our own flaws, which makes self-improvement harder. Refusing to admit that I am a bit neurotic (神经质的) might make me feel better in the moment, but it also discourages me from undertaking efforts to change for the long-term good of myself and those around me.
34. Why does the author use the example of Oreos in Paragraph 1?
A. To prove that eating snacks affects people’s dieting plans.
B. To show a common form of self-deception in daily life.
C. To stress the popularity of Oreos among dieters.
D. To explain why lying to others is harmful.
35. What does the underlined phrase “chalk it up to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Add it up to. B. Think of it as.
C. Take it away from. D. Write it down as.
36. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?
A. Making a to-do-list helps avoid lying to yourself.
B. Never-ending satisfaction results in self-deception.
C. Self-deception is a harmless way to protect their self-respect.
D. Admitting our weaknesses is important for self-improvement.
37. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to stop lying to themselves.
B. To introduce a new study about self-deception.
C. To tell people to see and correct their weaknesses.
D. To show the bad effects of self-deception.
【答案】34. B 35. B 36. D 37. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨了人们普遍存在自我欺骗的现象,分析了其背后的原因,指出了自我欺骗的弊端,并最终呼吁人们正视真实的自我,诚实面对自己的缺点以求进步。
【34题详解】
根据第一段中作者举例“I’ll enjoy this sleeve of Oreos today because my diet starts tomorrow”可知,这是为了展示日常生活中一种常见的自我欺骗形式,而非单纯讨论零食或节食计划,也不是解释对他人撒谎的危害。
【35题详解】
根据第三段中“your success...is the result of cheating but you choose to chalk it up to your own merit”可知,此处语境是把作弊得来的成功“归因于”或“认为是”自己的功劳。
【36题详解】
根据最后一段中“If you ignore your flaws, you can’t correct them”以及“Refusing to admit that I am a bit neurotic...discourages me from undertaking efforts to change”可知,作者认为承认弱点对于自我提升是很重要的。
【37题详解】
根据全文内容,特别是最后一段强调如果不正视缺点就无法改正,以及整篇文章对自我欺骗弊端的分析可知,作者写作此文的目的是为了鼓励人们停止自我欺骗,正视真实的自己。

47. By this June, we are sure to take great ________ (骄傲) in ourselves and every bit of progress we have made.
【答案】
pride
【解析】
【详解】句意:到今年六月,我们一定会为自己以及我们取得的每一点进步感到无比自豪。根据汉语提示“骄傲”可知,此处考查固定搭配“take pride in”,意为“以……为傲”。句中“great”为形容词,修饰名词;pride“骄傲,自豪”,不可数名词。故填pride。
五、动词填空:本大题共10小题,共10分。
48. Modern technology ________ (play) a more and more important role in our everyday school life these days.
【答案】

Cui Anqi, 13, Guangdong
Recently, my roommate brought some food to our dorm room that smelled really bad. I told her I didn’t like it, but she didn’t think it was a problem. So we’ve been having a “cold war” for weeks.

示例
My Ideas of Using Mobile Phones
Now more and more students have mobile phones. They bring us lots of convenience. We can look up useful information for study and keep in touch with friends easily.
However, some students spend too much time on short‑video or games. It takes their study time and is bad for their eyes.
In my opinion, we should use mobile phones properly. We should use them to learn more knowledge instead of getting addicted to games. Only in this way can they help us grow better.
