She and her sister Brooke have very different tastes in books. But they both believe that kids are more likely to read if they relate to (理解并能产生共鸣) a book’s characters. That’s why they started Books Like Me in 2020 in Florida. The nonprofit (非营利的) group provides teachers with all kinds of children’s books. “We didn’t really like reading before,” Halli said. “Then we started to look for books that had characters we saw ourselves in. It made us want to read more. And we wanted to share that with other students.” So far, the sisters have given away more than 16,000 books. Most have been given away in Florida—the sisters lived there when they started Books Like Me. Now they live in California. As word about their group spreads, teachers from all over the US ask for donations (捐赠) from Books Like Me online. Teachers say it’s important for students to read all kinds of books. Carter teaches the fourth grade at a school in Florida. She says donations from Books Like Me have gotten her students excited about reading. “My students enjoy seeing a character that looks similar to them,” Carter says. “A book can be a mirror, letting kids see themselves in its characters. I hope that all kids can see themselves in books so that they enjoy reading,” Halli says. 5. Why did Halli and her sister start Books Like Me? A. To make money by selling books. B. To teach students how to write stories. C. To help students find books they will love. D. To share their favourite books with teachers. 6. Halli and Brooke have given away most of the books in ________. A. Florida B. Texas C. all over the US D. California 7. What does Carter think of Books Like Me? A. Boring. B. Helpful. C. Difficult. D. Unnecessary. 8. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Books Like Me B. How to Choose Books C. Different Tastes in Reading D. Two Sisters’ Love for Reading 【答案】5. C 6. A 7. B 8. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了美国一对姐妹创立非营利组织“Books Like Me”，向教师捐赠儿童书籍，帮助学生找到能产生共鸣的角色，从而激发阅读兴趣的故事。 【5题详解】 第一段“But they both believe that kids are more likely to read if they relate to a book’s characters. That’s why they started Books Like Me…”以及第二段“And we wanted to share that with other students.”，她们创办该组织是为了帮助学生找到他们喜欢的书，从而激发阅读兴趣。 【6题详解】 第三段第二句“Most have been given away in Florida—the sisters lived there when they started Books Like Me.”，大部分书是在Florida捐赠的。 【7题详解】 第四段中Carter说的话“She says donations from Books Like Me have gotten her students excited about reading.”，Carter认为该组织对学生的阅读有积极的促进作用，因此“有帮助的”。 【8题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Halli和Brooke姐妹创办非营利组织“Books Like Me”的初衷、发展历程以及该组织对学生和老师的积极影响。文章围绕该组织展开，因此用组织名称“Books Like Me”作为文章的标题最合适。 C I still remember the moment I fell in love with tea. I had never been a fan of traditional English-style tea with milk and sugar. In fact, until that day, I had never even drunk tea. I was about ten years old and at an Asian restaurant with my dad, aunt and cousins. A woman came out of the kitchen with a pot of tea. She greeted my aunt and gently placed the teapot on the table with six cups. My aunt poured a cup for my dad and one for herself. I looked at the menu and felt worried that I would go hungry since I didn’t like Asian food. But the tea caught my attention. I peered over (仔细看) at my dad’s cup. It wasn’t English-style tea. It was clear and almost green. I asked my dad what this tea was. He poured me a cup and encouraged me to try it. I hesitantly (迟疑地) raised the cup and sipped the tea. Then, I drank more, and more, and soon, the cup was empty. Dad explained to me that it was green tea. From that day on, I have never stopped drinking tea. Wherever I sit down at a café or restaurant, I’ll order tea. And I always leave home with a travel cup of tea. My tea collection has become quite large. I love not just green tea but Chinese tea in general. However, I still don’t like English-style tea with milk. I love that tea, like food, is able to bring people together. I love nothing more than having a cup of tea and a chat with friends. I think every home should have pretty teacups for moments when you want to do just that. 9. The writer felt ________ when she saw her dad’s cup of tea. A. hungry B. worried C. excited D. curious 10. The underlined word “sipped” probably means “________”. A. drank B. watched C. chose D. served 11. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. The writer only drinks tea at home. B. The writer has become a tea lover. C. The writer still hates green tea. D. The writer never buys tea online. 12. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to make Chinese green tea. B. How the writer fell in love with tea. C. The best place to enjoy tea with friends. D. The difference between English and Chinese tea. 【答案】9. D 10. A 11. B 12. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了作者十岁时第一次在亚洲餐厅品尝绿茶，从此爱上喝茶，尤其是中国茶，并喜欢与朋友分享茶的乐趣。 【9题详解】 根据第三段中“But the tea caught my attention. I peered over at my dad’s cup... I asked my dad what this tea was.”可知，茶引起了作者的注意，作者还仔细查看并询问这是什么茶，表现出的是好奇心，curious表示“好奇的”，符合题意。 【10题详解】 根据第四段语境“I hesitantly raised the cup and sipped the tea. Then, I drank more...”可知，作者举起杯子后进行了一个动作，随后说“喝得更多”，因此“sipped”指的是“喝”（drank）的动作，意为“小口喝”。 【11题详解】 根据第五段内容“From that day on, I have never stopped drinking tea... My tea collection has become quite large. I love not just green tea but Chinese tea in general.”可知，作者从未停止喝茶，拥有很大的茶叶收藏，并且喜爱中国茶，由此可推断作者已经成为了一位爱茶之人（tea lover）。 【12题详解】 文章第一段开篇即提到“I still remember the moment I fell in love with tea.”，随后全文讲述了作者第一次接触茶的经历、从此爱上喝茶的习惯以及茶带来的美好感受。因此，文章主要讲的是作者如何爱上茶的。 D In January 2025, large wildfires swept through Los Angeles. They took many lives and destroyed thousands of homes. As pictures of the fires spread online, people noticed something strange: some trees were still standing next to burnt-out homes and cars. Some didn’t believe that a fire would leave trees untouched. “Is there a secret attack (袭击) on L.A. homes?” they asked. The truth is simpler. Trees can and do catch fire. But it’s also true that some did not burn. Scientists say there is a good reason for that. It all comes down to water. “It’s pretty easy to understand,” said Miranda Hart, a biology professor. “Trees are filled with thousands of liters of water.” Of course, trees do burn when fires are big and hot enough. But if a tree full of water stands next to something very dry, the dry thing will burn first. The fire may even go around the tree if there is enough dry material on both sides. The type of tree also matters. Some trees catch fire more easily than others. Deciduous (每年落叶的) trees—the kind that lose their leaves every year—are less likely to burn. That’s because their leaves hold more water and they have less resin (树脂), a sticky substance (黏性物质) that burns easily. In comparison, conifers (针叶树) like junipers (刺柏) catch fire much more easily. In Los Angeles, palm trees (棕榈树) are everywhere. They have become a symbol of the city. However, some local fire departments warn against planting too many palms. Without proper care, these trees can become like giant torches (火炬) during wildfires and cause great harm to people and buildings nearby. 13. What strange thing did people notice in the photos? A. Homes were burnt down. B. Many people lost their lives. C. Some trees were still standing. D. The fires spread very fast. 14. According to the passage, which kind of trees catch fire less easily? A. Conifers like junipers. B. Palm trees without proper care. C. Deciduous trees with wet leaves. D. Trees filled with more resin. 15. Which of the following are the reasons why some trees don’t burn easily? ① They are filled with water. ② They grow very fast. ③ They are the right kind of trees. ④ They are taken good care of. A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 16. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain why some trees survived the fires. B. To warn people not to plant trees near homes. C. To show how terrible the fires were. D. To teach how to protect trees from fires. 【答案】13. C 14. C 15. B 16. A 【解析】 【导语】本文解释了洛杉矶山火中部分树木幸存的原因，包括树木含水量高、树种类型差异等因素。 【13题详解】 第一段指出：“some trees were still standing next to burnt-out homes and cars”，说明人们注意到一些树木仍然矗立。 【14题详解】 第五段指出：“Deciduous trees...are less likely to burn. That’s because their leaves hold more water”，说明落叶树不易燃烧。 【15题详解】 第三段指出：“Trees are filled with thousands of liters of water”（①），第五段指出树种类型“Deciduous trees...are less likely to burn. That’s because their leaves hold more water”（③）是树木不易燃烧的原因。 【16题详解】 通读全文可知，全文围绕“为什么一些树木在山火中幸存”这一核心问题展开。 第二节 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Washing clothes is easy for most people living in cities, as washing machines do the job. However, in some rural areas (农村) or poor places, people have to wash their clothes by hand, as they don’t have enough money to buy a washing machine. ____17____ The machine is a simpler version (版本) of a traditional washing machine. However, it uses the natural flow (流动) of water instead of electricity shaft (转轴) in the centre and a bamboo drum outside. ____18____ And water will go into the bottom of the machine and make the main drum turn. This makes an eddy (涡流) that cleans clothes. A 7-member team from the School of Design at Dalian Minzu University made the machine. Because of this, they won the “Best of the Best” prize at the 2020 Red Dot Awards (红点奖). Yu Yue, one of these students, said that the best thing about the machine is that it’s cheap and easy to make. “We give people the rotation shaft and teach them how to set up the machine. ____19____ If there is no bamboo, they can also use materials like wood.” ____20____ They had many team meetings to change the machine at least four times. But in the end, they were happy with the results. A. You just put the machine in a river. B. The machine is easy to carry and move. C. They can find bamboo and make it into drums. D. The team spent more than half a year working on the machine. E. Now, a new bamboo washing machine might help them solve this problem. 【答案】17. E 18. A 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一款由大学生团队发明的竹制洗衣机，专为农村或贫困地区无洗衣机的居民设计，利用水流而非电力来清洗衣物。 【17题详解】 上文提到农村或贫困地区的人们因买不起洗衣机而不得不手洗衣服，下文介绍这款新机器的原理和优点。E项“Now, a new bamboo washing machine might help them solve this problem.”引出新发明的竹制洗衣机，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 【18题详解】 上文提到该机器利用水流而非电力，有转轴和竹制滚筒，下文说水会进入机器底部使主滚筒转动。A项“You just put the machine in a river.”说明只需将机器放入河中即可使用，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 【19题详解】 上文提到学生团队成员说机器便宜且易于制作，他们提供转轴并教人们如何组装，下文说如果没有竹子也可以使用木材等材料。C项“They can find bamboo and make it into drums.”说明人们可以找到竹子并将其制成滚筒，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 【20题详解】 下文提到团队多次开会，对机器进行了至少四次改动，最终对结果感到满意。D项“The team spent more than half a year working on the machine.”说明团队花了半年多时间研发这款机器，与下文衔接，符合逻辑。 Ⅱ. 完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Back in the day, there used to be an art competition in Maplewood every year.

What can be a symbol of China? Let’s hear from some middle school students who shared their thoughts. The Great Wall represents China in my eyes. It is about 21,000 kilometres long and over 2,000 years old. It shows how strong and smart China is. There is a famous Chinese saying, “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” ——David I think the loong is the symbol of China. We Chinese always see ourselves as “descendants of the loong (龙的传人)”. It stands for power, strength and good luck. Parents hope we can become as successful as loongs. ——Peter Porcelain (瓷器) is called “china” because it started in China. People like it because it’s not expensive and the colours are bright and beautiful. Different kinds of porcelain show how clever Chinese people are in making beautiful art. ——Nancy In China, dumplings represent (象征) happiness and reunion (团圆). Families in China always get together and make dumplings during festivals. When they make dumplings, they talk and laugh. The food brings them happiness. ——Mike 41.

Because it's not expensive and the colours are bright and beautiful. 44. I would talk about tea. Tea has a long history in China and is loved by people all over the world.

She and her sister Brooke have very different tastes in books. But they both believe that kids are more likely to read if they relate to (理解并能产生共鸣) a book’s characters. That’s why they started Books Like Me in 2020 in Florida. The nonprofit (非营利的) group provides teachers with all kinds of children’s books. “We didn’t really like reading before,” Halli said. “Then we started to look for books that had characters we saw ourselves in. It made us want to read more. And we wanted to share that with other students.” So far, the sisters have given away more than 16,000 books. Most have been given away in Florida—the sisters lived there when they started Books Like Me. Now they live in California. As word about their group spreads, teachers from all over the US ask for donations (捐赠) from Books Like Me online. Teachers say it’s important for students to read all kinds of books. Carter teaches the fourth grade at a school in Florida. She says donations from Books Like Me have gotten her students excited about reading. “My students enjoy seeing a character that looks similar to them,” Carter says. “A book can be a mirror, letting kids see themselves in its characters. I hope that all kids can see themselves in books so that they enjoy reading,” Halli says. 5. Why did Halli and her sister start Books Like Me? A. To make money by selling books. B.

D. Unnecessary. 8. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Books Like Me B. How to Choose Books C. Different Tastes in Reading D. Two Sisters’ Love for Reading C I still remember the moment I fell in love with tea. I had never been a fan of traditional English-style tea with milk and sugar. In fact, until that day, I had never even drunk tea. I was about ten years old and at an Asian restaurant with my dad, aunt and cousins. A woman came out of the kitchen with a pot of tea. She greeted my aunt and gently placed the teapot on the table with six cups. My aunt poured a cup for my dad and one for herself. I looked at the menu and felt worried that I would go hungry since I didn’t like Asian food. But the tea caught my attention. I peered over (仔细看) at my dad’s cup. It wasn’t English-style tea. It was clear and almost green. I asked my dad what this tea was. He poured me a cup and encouraged me to try it. I hesitantly (迟疑地) raised the cup and sipped the tea. Then, I drank more, and more, and soon, the cup was empty. Dad explained to me that it was green tea. From that day on, I have never stopped drinking tea. Wherever I sit down at a café or restaurant, I’ll order tea. And I always leave home with a travel cup of tea. My tea collection has become quite large. I love not just green tea but Chinese tea in general. However, I still don’t like English-style tea with milk. I love that tea, like food, is able to bring people together. I love nothing more than having a cup of tea and a chat with friends. I think every home should have pretty teacups for moments when you want to do just that. 9. The writer felt ________ when she saw her dad’s cup of tea. A. hungry B. worried C. excited D. curious 10. The underlined word “sipped” probably means “________”.

The writer never buys tea online. 12. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to make Chinese green tea. B. How the writer fell in love with tea. C. The best place to enjoy tea with friends. D. The difference between English and Chinese tea. D In January 2025, large wildfires swept through Los Angeles. They took many lives and destroyed thousands of homes. As pictures of the fires spread online, people noticed something strange: some trees were still standing next to burnt-out homes and cars. Some didn’t believe that a fire would leave trees untouched. “Is there a secret attack (袭击) on L.A. homes?” they asked. The truth is simpler. Trees can and do catch fire. But it’s also true that some did not burn. Scientists say there is a good reason for that. It all comes down to water. “It’s pretty easy to understand,” said Miranda Hart, a biology professor. “Trees are filled with thousands of liters of water.” Of course, trees do burn when fires are big and hot enough. But if a tree full of water stands next to something very dry, the dry thing will burn first. The fire may even go around the tree if there is enough dry material on both sides. The type of tree also matters. Some trees catch fire more easily than others. Deciduous (每年落叶的) trees—the kind that lose their leaves every year—are less likely to burn. That’s because their leaves hold more water and they have less resin (树脂), a sticky substance (黏性物质) that burns easily. In comparison, conifers (针叶树) like junipers (刺柏) catch fire much more easily. In Los Angeles, palm trees (棕榈树) are everywhere. They have become a symbol of the city. However, some local fire departments warn against planting too many palms. Without proper care, these trees can become like giant torches (火炬) during wildfires and cause great harm to people and buildings nearby. 13. What strange thing did people notice in the photos? A. Homes were burnt down. B. Many people lost their lives. C. Some trees were still standing. D. The fires spread very fast. 14. According to the passage, which kind of trees catch fire less easily? A. Conifers like junipers. B. Palm trees without proper care. C. Deciduous trees with wet leaves. D. Trees filled with more resin. 15. Which of the following are the reasons why some trees don’t burn easily? ① They are filled with water. ② They grow very fast. ③ They are the right kind of trees. ④ They are taken good care of. A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 16. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain why some trees survived the fires. B. To warn people not to plant trees near homes. C. To show how terrible the fires were. D. To teach how to protect trees from fires. 第二节 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Washing clothes is easy for most people living in cities, as washing machines do the job.

Let’s hear from some middle school students who shared their thoughts. The Great Wall represents China in my eyes. It is about 21,000 kilometres long and over 2,000 years old. It shows how strong and smart China is. There is a famous Chinese saying, “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” ——David I think the loong is the symbol of China. We Chinese always see ourselves as “descendants of the loong (龙的传人)”. It stands for power, strength and good luck. Parents hope we can become as successful as loongs. ——Peter Porcelain (瓷器) is called “china” because it started in China. People like it because it’s not expensive and the colours are bright and beautiful. Different kinds of porcelain show how clever Chinese people are in making beautiful art. ——Nancy In China, dumplings represent (象征) happiness and reunion (团圆). Families in China always get together and make dumplings during festivals. When they make dumplings, they talk and laugh. The food brings them happiness. ——Mike 41.
