He is both a pianist of Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra (交响乐团) and a 61-year-old professional vlogger (视频博主).With more than 2.3million followers on China’s famous short video app Douyin, his videos have been watched millions of times. “Three years ago, my son put a short video of me playing the piano at home on Douyin, and hours later it was played over 1 million times,” Yang remembered.

It moves slowly and stops at every small station. People call it the “slow train”. For over twenty years, it has been a cheap and convenient way for villagers to travel between villages and cities. Now it still finds new ways to change people’s lives. ② For villagers, the train turns into a moving market. They get on the train with colorful baskets of farm products. Bright red peppers, green vegetables, golden corn, and juicy fruits fill the air with fresh smells. Passengers (乘客) talk and buy things right on the train. It is a warm and busy ride all the way to town. ③ The slow train has also become a moving stage for cultural heritage (遗产). For many visitors, riding this green train through the mountains is much more attractive than taking a direct high-speed train. Local artists with traditional skills are often invited on board to show their artworks. Passengers can appreciate beautiful Miao embroidery (刺绣). Sometimes, calligraphy lovers write a good-luck message for them. All these activities turn the train into a lively cultural classroom, offering everyone a closer look at the local traditions. ④ While high-speed trains help people travel faster, the slow train also “speeds up” dreams in its own way.

Now, there is a big supermarket in the south of the town, and there are different kinds of goods in it. There is also a modern hotel nearby. There used to be a beautiful park there, but all the trees have been cut down. What a great pity! In the north of the town, there is a town library. It was old and small ten years ago, but now it is big and beautiful. What’s more, there are more books and magazines in it, so people in my town like to go there to read in their free time. There is also a new post office just across from my old school. In the centre of the town, there is a big change: people can’t drive there anymore—they can only walk or ride bikes. Besides, there are more flowers and trees in the town centre, and they look so beautiful. Another nice change is the growth of food options (选择). There are far more restaurants than before. A tasty Chinese restaurant in the town centre is near my home. And best of all, there’s a new milk tea shop!

The upper floors extend over the sidewalk, creating a covered walkway. This is called Qilou. Let’s learn about it from three aspects. Qilou first appeared in Guangzhou about 100 years ago. It is a mix of Chinese and Western styles. The bottom part is like ancient Chinese buildings, while the top part has Western-style columns and balconies. This unique design protects people from the rain and hot sun. You can walk through the streets without getting wet or sunburned. But Qilou is more than just a building. It is a symbol of Guangzhou’s history and culture. In the past, people often did many things on the ground floor of Qilou. They sold tea, silk, and daily goods. They also met neighbors under the walkways and chatted. Some shops even served as small restaurants or teahouses where friends gathered together. Today, some Qilou are still there, though many are old and need protection. In 2020, the government started a project to protect old Qilou. They are repairing the broken parts but keeping the original style. Young artists are also moving into these buildings, opening creative shops and cafes.

I never thought that the computer would lead me into a wonderful world of travel. ② One day, my geography teacher gave us a task. She asked us to make a presentation about a foreign country we wanted to visit. I chose Egypt, because I had always been interested in the Pyramids and the ancient Egyptian culture. But I didn’t know much about Egypt, and I had no chance to go there in person. ③ My deskmate told me about a special website called “World Online Tour”. He said that the website could help me travel around the world online, and get all the information I needed for my presentation. _ ④ As soon as I opened the website, I saw a map of the world on the screen. I clicked on the icon of Egypt, and a new page opened. There was a lot of information about Egypt, including its history, culture, geography and places of interest. There were also high-definition 360-degree panoramic views of the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum. I could “walk” around the Pyramids, and see every detail of them, just like I was there in person. ⑤ I spent the whole weekend on the website. I “visited” many places in Egypt, and learned a lot about the ancient Egyptian culture. I also listened to the audio introductions from local guides, and watched videos about the history of the Pyramids. With all the information I got from the website, I made a very wonderful presentation. ⑥ When I showed my presentation in the geography class, my teacher and classmates were all shocked. They praised me for my detailed introduction and amazing pictures. I got the highest score in the class, and I felt very proud of myself. ⑦ From that day on, I fell in love with online tours. I often use the website to travel around the world in my free time. I have “visited” more than 30 countries on the website, from France to Australia, from Japan to Brazil. Every time I “visit” a country, I learn a lot about its history, culture and customs. Online tours have opened up a whole new world to me and made me more interested in geography and different cultures. ⑧ Now, I have grown up. I still love online tours, but I also hope to travel to these countries in person someday. I believe that online tours have prepared me well for my future travels. 33.Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage? a.

For many people, especially those who are busy with work or study, online tours have become a perfect way to see the world without leaving their homes. An online tour is a kind of digital travel experience. People can visit different places around the world through websites, videos or virtual reality technology. They can see high-definition pictures of famous places of interest, listen to detailed introductions about the local history and culture, and even "walk" around the place with 360-degree panoramic views. There are many advantages of online tours. First of all, they are very convenient. People don’t need to spend time and money on travelling, booking hotels or buying tickets. They can visit any place they want at any time, with just a click of the mouse. Secondly, online tours are very inclusive. For people with disabilities or the elderly who can’t travel long distances, online tours give them a chance to see the world. What’s more, online tours can help protect the environment and the cultural relics. Too many tourists visiting a place at the same time may cause damage to the environment and the old buildings, but online tours will never bring such problems. However, some people still prefer travelling in person. They say that online tours can never give them the real feeling of being in a place. They can’t feel the wind, smell the local food, or talk with the local people through a screen. They also believe that travelling in person can bring more unforgettable experiences and surprises. In fact, both online tours and in-person travel have their own advantages. It doesn’t matter which way you choose. The most important thing is that you can learn about different cultures, see the beautiful scenery of the world, and open up your mind through travelling. 37.What is the main advantage of online tours mentioned in Paragraph 3?

By 2025, the team had used 3D cameras to record most cave paintings. Now, 20 million people all over the world can see them through online tours. They are recording and collecting digital images of cultural relics (遗迹) from the Mogao Caves, which were a key stop along the Silk Road throughout China’s ancient history. Nearly 500,000 high-quality digital photographs have been produced since the international (国际化的) project started in 1994. The Mogao Caves have long been a meeting point for different cultures and are part of the history of many countries. _ Today, the caves are just as international as they were at the time when people travelled the Silk Road. Tourists from all over the world visit Dunhuang to see the caves, and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles has reproduced a copy of the caves and paintings for people to enjoy in America. By sharing so many digital photos over the Internet, the group hopes to increase even wider interest around the world in China’s ancient history, culture and traditions. They also hope to further educate people about the importance of protecting historic and cultural relics for future generations to understand and appreciate. As one researcher who is working on the project explains, “Appreciation is very important for knowing oneself. Appreciating the cultural heritage of other countries is very important for international communication and understanding.” 41.How long has the digital project been running? A.Since 1984.

C.To show that technology is protecting the heritage. D.To show the caves’ international influence. 44.What can we infer about the researchers’ work? A.It makes people sell the paintings inside the caves. B.It has only Chinese researchers working on it. C.It makes cultural exchange easier. D.It will be finished in a short time. 12 Travelling is a great way to learn about the world. But not everyone can travel far every time. That’s why online tours are becoming more and more popular with students. With online tours, you can “visit” many famous places at home. You don’t need to take a plane or a train. You don’t have to worry about the weather or the cost. All you need is a computer or a mobile phone. You can enjoy the sights of different countries, such as the Palaces in the UK, the Great Wall in China and the pyramids in Egypt. Online tours also help with your studies. When you take an online tour of a museum, you can learn much about history and art. Some online tours also have explanations, so you can know more about the place you are visiting. Many schools use online tours in class. Teachers show wonderful places on the screen, and students talk about what they see. It makes lessons more interesting and helps students open their eyes to the world. Some people say online tours are not as good as real trips. But online tours are still a wonderful choice when you can’t go out. They are cheap, easy and safe.

His heart was beating fast when listening to the dangerous pirates (海盗) talking. “Listen, my friends,” Long John Silver said quietly “Tomorrow morning, when we reach the island, we will take the treasure and kill anyone who tries to stop us.” “But what about the boy and the other gentlemen on this ship?” asked one of the pirates nervously. “Ha!” Silver said angrily. “They don’t know our real plans.

Quietly, he began to move away from his hiding place, but suddenly his foot hit a wooden board and made a loud noise. “What was that?” Silver asked sharply, looking around the dark places. “Maybe just the ship moving,” one pirate said. “Maybe,” Silver said, “but be careful. We cannot have any problems at this important time.” Jim held his breath, hoping they would not find him.

D．Because he has just got his smartphone 2．What did Luo Xu think of his work in the non-profit group? A．Relaxing B．Meaningful C．Difficult D．Boring 3．Which of the following can we put in “ * ”? A．In fact, many other old people have the same feeling as Ding. B．However, many young people find it hard to teach the old to use the internet. C．As a result, old people have to spend much time learning to use the smartphone. D．Luckily, younger people are building a bridge between the digital world and the old. 4．Why did the writer write the passage? A．To tell us to learn to make short videos like Yang. B．To explain why the internet is popular in our country. C．To show the internet makes a great difference to the old. D．To ask young people to spend more time caring for the old. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了互联网走进生活，不少老人尝试融入数字世界。有的老人玩转短视频丰富生活，也有老人仅会简单手机功能。还有青年志愿者志愿教老年人使用网络，收获满满成就感。 【详解】1．根据文章第四段句子“He just plays the piano while filming since he doesn't know how to edit (编辑) or cut clips (片段).”可知，杨苏拍摄视频困难是因为他不知道如何编辑或剪辑片段。 2．根据文章最后一段Luo Xu说的话“While I am helping people aged between 60 and 90 years old, I have a strong feeling of pleasure,”可知，他在帮助老人时感到强烈的愉悦感。在志愿服务的语境下，这种愉悦感通常源于工作的价值和意义。对比选项，A项“放松的”、C项“困难的”、D项“无聊的”均不符合语境，B项“有意义的”最能体现志愿者帮助他人后的心理感受。 3．空格前一段提到Ding Qiulin觉得学习使用其他应用程序很难（问题）；空格后一段提到志愿者Luo Xu教老人如何使用互联网（解决方案/帮助）。因此，空格处需要一个承上启下的句子，引出年轻人帮助老人这一话题。选项D“幸运的是，年轻人正在数字世界和老年人之间架起一座桥梁。”符合语境逻辑。 4．通读全文可知，文章开头提到越来越多的中国老人融入数字世界，随后通过杨苏成功成为博主、丁秋林使用手机有困难以及志愿者帮助老人等具体事例，展示了移动互联网对老年人生活产生的巨大影响（既有便利也有挑战，还有社会帮助）。选项C“为了展示互联网给老年人带来了巨大的不同/影响”最符合文章主旨。 02 ① Every morning, a special green train starts its journey through the mountains of Southwest China. It moves slowly and stops at every small station. People call it the “slow train”. For over twenty years, it has been a cheap and convenient way for villagers to travel between villages and cities. Now it still finds new ways to change people’s lives. ② For villagers, the train turns into a moving market. They get on the train with colorful baskets of farm products. Bright red peppers, green vegetables, golden corn, and juicy fruits fill the air with fresh smells. Passengers (乘客) talk and buy things right on the train. It is a warm and busy ride all the way to town. ③ The slow train has also become a moving stage for cultural heritage (遗产). For many visitors, riding this green train through the mountains is much more attractive than taking a direct high-speed train. Local artists with traditional skills are often invited on board to show their artworks. Passengers can appreciate beautiful Miao embroidery (刺绣). Sometimes, calligraphy lovers write a good-luck message for them. All these activities turn the train into a lively cultural classroom, offering everyone a closer look at the local traditions. ④ While high-speed trains help people travel faster, the slow train also “speeds up” dreams in its own way. It carries the fruits of the villagers’ hard work, their local traditions, and their hopes for a better life. 5．What can we learn about the “slow train” from Paragraph 1? A．The train only runs in small villages. B．The train stops at all small stations. C．The train ticket is very expensive. D．The train has run for about 12 years. 6．What can passengers buy on the slow train? ① golden corn    ② fresh baskets    ③ red peppers    ④ green vegetables A．①②③ B．①③④ C．①②④ D．②③④ 7．Why do visitors prefer the slow train to the high-speed train? A．Because the slow train is more comfortable. B．Because the slow train ticket is much cheaper. C．Because the slow train offers farming lessons. D．Because the slow train shows local traditions. 8．What is the structure of the passage? (①= Para.1) A． B． C． D． 9．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Slow Train, Fast Dreams B．Chinese Traditions on the Train C．A Moving Market on the Bus D．New Life in Chinese Mountains 【答案】5．B 6．B 7．D 8．D 9．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了穿行在中国西南山区的慢火车，讲述它不仅方便村民出行、成为流动集市，还能传播地域传统文化，承载着人们的生活希望与美好梦想。 【详解】5．文章第①段提到：“It moves slowly and stops at every small station.”，说明这列慢火车会停靠所有小车站。 6．文章第②段提到：“They get on the train with colorful baskets of farm products. Bright red peppers, green vegetables, golden corn, and juicy fruits fill the air with fresh smells.”，说明乘客能买到红辣椒、青菜、玉米和水果，篮子是盛放物品的容器并非售卖商品。 7．文章第③段提到：“For many visitors, riding this green train through the mountains is much more attractive than taking a direct high-speed train. ... All these activities turn the train into a lively cultural classroom, offering everyone a closer look at the local traditions.”，可知游客更喜欢慢火车是因为它能展示当地传统文化。 8．文章第①段总起介绍慢火车基本概况；第②③段分别从便民集市、文化传播两方面分述慢火车的作用；第④段总结升华主旨，因此全文为总分总结构。 9．文章最后一段提到“the slow train also ‘speeds up’ dreams in its own way”，且全文围绕慢火车如何改变村民生活、承载希望与传统文化，因此最佳标题为“Slow Train, Fast Dreams”。 03 My hometown is a small but beautiful town. I left it ten years ago. Now, when I come back, I find that it has changed a lot. When I left, there were only a few small shops in my hometown. Now, there is a big supermarket in the south of the town, and there are different kinds of goods in it. There is also a modern hotel nearby. There used to be a beautiful park there, but all the trees have been cut down. What a great pity! In the north of the town, there is a town library. It was old and small ten years ago, but now it is big and beautiful. What’s more, there are more books and magazines in it, so people in my town like to go there to read in their free time. There is also a new post office just across from my old school. In the centre of the town, there is a big change: people can’t drive there anymore—they can only walk or ride bikes. Besides, there are more flowers and trees in the town centre, and they look so beautiful. Another nice change is the growth of food options (选择). There are far more restaurants than before. A tasty Chinese restaurant in the town centre is near my home. And best of all, there’s a new milk tea shop! The milk tea shop is especially popular with young people in town, and I’ve tried their drinks too—they’re really good. I like all these new places very much. 根据语篇内容 ，选择最佳选项。 10．How long has the writer been away from his hometown?

A．My Beautiful Hometown B．Great Changes in My Hometown C．The Life in My Hometown 【答案】10．B 11．A 12．A 13．B 14．B 【导语】本文通过对比自己的家乡十年前和现在的景象，描述了小镇的显著变化，展现了家乡的发展与变迁。 10．根据第一段“My hometown is a small but beautiful town. I left it ten years ago.”可知，作者离开家乡10年了。 11．根据第二段“there is a big supermarket in the south of the town, and there are different kinds of...”可知，goods是超市里各种各样的东西，可以推断出是商品。 12．根据第三段“... there is a town library. It was old and small ten years ago...”可知，家乡的图书馆以前是又旧又小的。 13．根据“...but now it is big and beautiful.”、“...and they look so beautiful.”、“Another nice change is the growth of food options.”以及“I like all these new places very much.”可知，除了树被砍掉让作者感到遗憾以外，作者列举了许多家乡好的变化，并表示喜欢所有的新地方，可以推断，作者喜欢大部分的新变化。 14．文章一一列举了作者家乡10年前后的变化，包括购物、图书馆、食物选择等，故文章的最佳标题应该是“Great Changes in My Hometown”。 04 I used to live in a small town with trees all around. It has been about thirty years since I left my hometown. But I still remember what it was exactly like. And I often “see” it in many of my dreams. My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice. But in the old days, the little town was a poor and backward one. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life. There was no tall building and the only street was narrow, but trees and flowers made the town beautiful. Just outside the town, there was a river. You could see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water. People here lived a simple life. Since the government took a new policy, great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have been built one after another. People’s life is greatly improved. You can see tall buildings, big department stores and factories everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the wide streets. But with the development of the industry, we have fewer trees. Air pollution and water pollution are becoming more and more serious. And there are also other problems. We should try our best to make it richer. At the same time, we must do something to stop pollution and make our hometown even more beautiful. 15．When did the writer leave his hometown? A．About ten years ago. B．About twenty years ago. C．About thirty years ago. D．About forty years ago. 16．How was the writer’s hometown in the old days? A．Poor but beautiful. B．Rich and beautiful.

B．More factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and airports have been built. C．There are more and more cars and buses in the streets. D．Tall buildings, big department stores and factories have been built. 【答案】15．C 16．A 17．B 【导语】这篇文章讲述了作者家乡过去与现在的变化，既展现了发展带来的进步，也提到了随之而来的环境问题。 15．根据原文第一段“It has been about thirty years since I left my hometown.”，可知作者大约三十年前离开了家乡。 16．根据原文第二段“But in the old days, the little town was a poor and backward one... but trees and flowers made the town beautiful.”，可知过去的家乡虽然贫穷，但因为有花草树木而美丽。 17．根据原文第三段“The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have been built one after another…Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the wide streets.”，文中并未提及“airports（机场）”，因此B选项表述错误。 考向二：景观景点、建筑 05 Ancient Wonder: The Pyramids of Egypt The Pyramids of Egypt are one of the world’s most amazing ancient wonders. They lie on the west bank of the Nile River near Cairo. Built over 4,500 years ago, they were tombs for Egyptian pharaohs (法老). The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest and most famous. It is made of huge stone blocks, and ancient Egyptians built it without modern machines. Their building skills still surprise people today. As a cultural treasure, the pyramids attract millions of visitors each year and show the wisdom of early human beings. The Great Wall is a great treasure and pride of China. It runs across northern China with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometres. It was first built to protect the country from enemies. Made of stone, brick and earth, it crosses mountains and valleys. Many dynasties worked on its construction (建造) and repair. Now it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Great Wall shows the hard work and courage of the Chinese people. Every year, tourists from all over the world come to enjoy its great beauty. Mountain Mystery: Machu Picchu Machu Picchu is a wonderful mystery in the Andes Mountains of Peru. It was an ancient Inca city built in the 15th century. It remained hidden for hundreds of years until 1911. The city has temples, houses and stone terraces (台阶). The stones fit perfectly without cement (水泥). It is known as the “Lost City of the Incas”.

It has shops on the ground floor and living rooms above. The upper floors extend over the sidewalk, creating a covered walkway. This is called Qilou. Let’s learn about it from three aspects. Qilou first appeared in Guangzhou about 100 years ago. It is a mix of Chinese and Western styles. The bottom part is like ancient Chinese buildings, while the top part has Western-style columns and balconies. This unique design protects people from the rain and hot sun. You can walk through the streets without getting wet or sunburned. But Qilou is more than just a building. It is a symbol of Guangzhou’s history and culture. In the past, people often did many things on the ground floor of Qilou. They sold tea, silk, and daily goods. They also met neighbors under the walkways and chatted. Some shops even served as small restaurants or teahouses where friends gathered together. Today, some Qilou are still there, though many are old and need protection. In 2020, the government started a project to protect old Qilou. They are repairing the broken parts but keeping the original style. Young artists are also moving into these buildings, opening creative shops and cafes. The old Qilou is getting a new life. 30．What can we learn about Qilou from the passage? A．It was first built about 50 years ago. B．It is purely a Chinese-style building. C．It protects people from bad weather. D．It has no shops on the ground floor. 31．In the past, what did people often do on the ground floor of Qilou? ① sold tea and silk         ② met neighbors and chatted ③ held art exhibitions         ④ ran small restaurants or teahouses A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 32．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】30．C 31．A 32．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了广州骑楼的建筑特点、中西合璧的设计、历史文化意义，以及如今的保护与活化利用情况。 【详解】30．根据文中第二段“This unique design protects people from the rain and hot sun. You can walk through the streets without getting wet or sunburned.”可知，骑楼的设计能为人们遮雨挡烈日，由此可得出骑楼能保护人们免受恶劣天气影响的结论。 31．根据文中第三段“In the past, people often did many things on the ground floor of Qilou. They sold tea, silk, and daily goods. They also met neighbors under the walkways and chatted. Some shops even served as small restaurants or teahouses where friends gathered together.”可知，过去人们会在骑楼底层卖茶和丝绸、和邻居聊天、经营小餐馆或茶馆，由此可确定①②④为正确选项。 32．文章第一段总起，介绍骑楼的基本概念；第二、三、四段分别从建筑特点、历史文化意义、如今的保护活化三个方面展开说明，属于“总—分”结构，对应选项B的结构图。 考向三：线上旅行 09 ① When I was 12 years old, I got a computer as a birthday gift from my parents. At that time, I only used it to play games and watch cartoons. I never thought that the computer would lead me into a wonderful world of travel. ② One day, my geography teacher gave us a task. She asked us to make a presentation about a foreign country we wanted to visit. I chose Egypt, because I had always been interested in the Pyramids and the ancient Egyptian culture. But I didn’t know much about Egypt, and I had no chance to go there in person. ③ My deskmate told me about a special website called “World Online Tour”. He said that the website could help me travel around the world online, and get all the information I needed for my presentation. ________ ④ As soon as I opened the website, I saw a map of the world on the screen. I clicked on the icon of Egypt, and a new page opened. There was a lot of information about Egypt, including its history, culture, geography and places of interest. There were also high-definition 360-degree panoramic views of the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum. I could “walk” around the Pyramids, and see every detail of them, just like I was there in person. ⑤ I spent the whole weekend on the website. I “visited” many places in Egypt, and learned a lot about the ancient Egyptian culture. I also listened to the audio introductions from local guides, and watched videos about the history of the Pyramids. With all the information I got from the website, I made a very wonderful presentation. ⑥ When I showed my presentation in the geography class, my teacher and classmates were all shocked. They praised me for my detailed introduction and amazing pictures. I got the highest score in the class, and I felt very proud of myself. ⑦ From that day on, I fell in love with online tours. I often use the website to travel around the world in my free time. I have “visited” more than 30 countries on the website, from France to Australia, from Japan to Brazil. Every time I “visit” a country, I learn a lot about its history, culture and customs. Online tours have opened up a whole new world to me and made me more interested in geography and different cultures. ⑧ Now, I have grown up. I still love online tours, but I also hope to travel to these countries in person someday. I believe that online tours have prepared me well for my future travels. 33．Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage? a. The writer made a wonderful presentation and got the highest score. b. The writer got a computer as a birthday gift. c. The writer’s deskmate told her about the “World Online Tour” website. d. The writer “visited” Egypt on the website and got a lot of information. A．b-c-d-a B．b-a-c-d C．c-b-d-a D．c-b-a-d 34．Which of the following sentences is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 3? A．I didn’t believe him at all, and I refused to use the website. B．I was very excited, and decided to have a try after school. C．My teacher didn’t allow us to use the Internet for the presentation. D．I thought the website was useless for my presentation. 35．The underlined word “panoramic” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”. A．showing a full view of a place in all directions B．showing only a small part of a place C．very dark and unclear D．very old and traditional 36．What can we learn from the end of the passage? A．The writer only likes online tours, and doesn’t want to travel in person. B．The writer has visited more than 30 countries in person. C．The writer hopes to travel to the countries she has “visited” online someday. D．The writer is not interested in geography and different cultures anymore. 【答案】33．A 34．B 35．A 36．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者12岁时通过“World Online Tour” 网站完成地理作业，从此爱上线上旅行，并希望未来能亲身到访这些国家。 33．文章按时间顺序展开：第①段提到“作者12岁时收到电脑作为生日礼物”；第③段提到“同桌告诉她‘World Online Tour’网站”；第④和⑤段提到“作者在网站上‘游览’埃及并收集信息”；第⑥段提到“作者完成精彩的展示并获得最高分”。 34．第③段提到同桌向作者推荐了网站，第④段紧接着写作者打开网站并开始浏览，因此空白处需要一句能自然衔接推荐和后续行动的句子。B选项“I was very excited, and decided to have a try after school.”既承接了同桌的推荐，也引出了下文作者使用网站的情节，逻辑通顺。 35．第④段提到网站上有the Pyramids（金字塔）、the Sphinx（狮身人面像）等的“high-definition 360-degree panoramic views”，作者可以像身临其境一样“walk around”并看到每一个细节，这里的“360-degree”和“walk around…see every detail”都在说明，这些视图是可以全方位展示的，因此“panoramic”的意思是“全方位的、全景的”，对应A选项“showing a full view of a place in all directions”。 36．最后一段提到“I still love online tours, but I also hope to travel to these countries in person someday”，说明作者希望未来能亲身到访她在线上“游览”过的国家。 10 With the development of the Internet, online tours have become more and more popular around the world. For many people, especially those who are busy with work or study, online tours have become a perfect way to see the world without leaving their homes. An online tour is a kind of digital travel experience. People can visit different places around the world through websites, videos or virtual reality technology. They can see high-definition pictures of famous places of interest, listen to detailed introductions about the local history and culture, and even "walk" around the place with 360-degree panoramic views. There are many advantages of online tours. First of all, they are very convenient. People don’t need to spend time and money on travelling, booking hotels or buying tickets. They can visit any place they want at any time, with just a click of the mouse. Secondly, online tours are very inclusive. For people with disabilities or the elderly who can’t travel long distances, online tours give them a chance to see the world. What’s more, online tours can help protect the environment and the cultural relics. Too many tourists visiting a place at the same time may cause damage to the environment and the old buildings, but online tours will never bring such problems. However, some people still prefer travelling in person. They say that online tours can never give them the real feeling of being in a place. They can’t feel the wind, smell the local food, or talk with the local people through a screen. They also believe that travelling in person can bring more unforgettable experiences and surprises. In fact, both online tours and in-person travel have their own advantages. It doesn’t matter which way you choose. The most important thing is that you can learn about different cultures, see the beautiful scenery of the world, and open up your mind through travelling. 37．What is the main advantage of online tours mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．They are very cheap and everyone can afford them. B．They are convenient, inclusive and environmentally friendly. C．They can give people more unforgettable surprises. D．They can help people learn about the world better than in-person travel. 38．The underlined word “inclusive” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”. A．covering a wide range of people and needs B．very expensive and only for rich people C．only popular among young people D．very difficult to use for most people 39．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To tell readers that online tours are better than in-person travel. B．To explain why in-person travel is disappearing in modern life. C．To introduce online tours and their advantages and disadvantages. D．To encourage people to travel around the world during holidays. 40．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

By 2025, the team had used 3D cameras to record most cave paintings. Now, 20 million people all over the world can see them through online tours. They are recording and collecting digital images of cultural relics (遗迹) from the Mogao Caves, which were a key stop along the Silk Road throughout China’s ancient history. Nearly 500,000 high-quality digital photographs have been produced since the international (国际化的) project started in 1994. The Mogao Caves have long been a meeting point for different cultures and are part of the history of many countries. ________ Today, the caves are just as international as they were at the time when people travelled the Silk Road. Tourists from all over the world visit Dunhuang to see the caves, and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles has reproduced a copy of the caves and paintings for people to enjoy in America. By sharing so many digital photos over the Internet, the group hopes to increase even wider interest around the world in China’s ancient history, culture and traditions. They also hope to further educate people about the importance of protecting historic and cultural relics for future generations to understand and appreciate. As one researcher who is working on the project explains, “Appreciation is very important for knowing oneself. Appreciating the cultural heritage of other countries is very important for international communication and understanding.” 41．How long has the digital project been running? A．Since 1984. B．For about 30 years. C．For less than 10 years. D．For exactly 25 years. 42．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．Inside them, art from China, India and Central Asia meets beautifully. B．However, the journey to the Mogao Caves is long and difficult. C．People visit the caves because the air there is fresh and cool. D．It is necessary to protect the caves for future generations. 43．Why does the author mention the Getty Museum? A．To criticize (批评) copy techniques. B．To compare Chinese and Russian art. C．To show that technology is protecting the heritage. D．To show the caves’ international influence. 44．What can we infer about the researchers’ work? A．It makes people sell the paintings inside the caves. B．It has only Chinese researchers working on it. C．It makes cultural exchange easier. D．It will be finished in a short time. 【答案】41．B 42．A 43．D 44．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了自1994年起，中外研究者合作利用3D相机对敦煌莫高窟进行数字化记录，使全球2000万人可通过在线游览欣赏中国文化遗产，并强调了文化欣赏对国际交流的重要性。 41．第一段提到“since the international project started in 1994”，从1994年到今天，大约是30年。 42．第二段第一句提到莫高窟长期以来一直是不同文化的交汇点，空格后提到如今洞穴仍像丝绸之路时期一样国际化，因此空格处应描述洞窟内多元文化的融合，A选项“Inside them, art from China, India and Central Asia meets beautifully.”能够承接上文“不同文化交汇”的内容，逻辑最通顺。 43．第四段作者提到洛杉矶盖蒂博物馆复刻了洞窟和壁画，是为了说明莫高窟文化传播到了美国，体现其广泛的国际影响力。 44．文章提到研究者通过互联网分享数字照片，旨在引起全球对中国古代历史的兴趣，并促进国际交流与理解，因此他们的工作使文化交流更加便利。 12 Travelling is a great way to learn about the world.

His heart was beating fast when listening to the dangerous pirates (海盗) talking. “Listen, my friends,” Long John Silver said quietly “Tomorrow morning, when we reach the island, we will take the treasure and kill anyone who tries to stop us.” “But what about the boy and the other gentlemen on this ship?” asked one of the pirates nervously. “Ha!” Silver said angrily. “They don’t know our real plans. Once we find where the treasure is, they will be useless to us.” Jim felt very scared because he knew how dangerous they were. These men, in fact, were bad sailors and were planning to kill them. “What if they find out our plan too early?” another pirate asked worriedly. “Then we will have to act quickly,” Silver answered coldly. “I have killed many people. A young boy and a few gentlemen are no real danger to skilled pirates like us.” “Yes, Captain Silver,” the men said together excitedly. Jim knew he must tell his friends about it right away. Quietly, he began to move away from his hiding place, but suddenly his foot hit a wooden board and made a loud noise. “What was that?” Silver asked sharply, looking around the dark places. “Maybe just the ship moving,” one pirate said. “Maybe,” Silver said, “but be careful. We cannot have any problems at this important time.” Jim held his breath, hoping they would not find him. Everyone’s safety depended on his ability to get away from it and tell his friends about the danger.

D．Brave and thoughtful. 【答案】50．B 51．C 52．B 53．A 54．D 【导语】本文改编自《金银岛》，讲述了吉姆躲在桶后偷听到海盗阴谋，并试图逃脱去警告朋友的故事。 【详解】50．根据文中第二段Long John Silver说的话“Tomorrow morning, when we reach the island...”以及后文Silver看向“dark places”可知，对话发生时还没到第二天早上，且环境黑暗，因此故事场景发生在晚上。 51．根据文中第二段Long John Silver说的话“Tomorrow morning... we will take the treasure and kill anyone who tries to stop us.”可知，他们的真实计划是夺取宝藏并杀害阻止者。 52．通读全文可知，文章大部分篇幅是海盗之间的对话以及吉姆的心理活动和感受，如“Jim felt very scared...”, “Jim knew he must...”。文章主要通过人物对话和吉姆的想法来叙述故事。 53．根据故事发展顺序：首先文章第一句提到“Jim Hawkins hid behind a big barrel.”（c.吉姆躲在桶后）；接着他“listening to the dangerous pirates talking”听到了计划（a.吉姆听到海盗的秘密计划）；然后“Quietly, he began to move away”（b.吉姆试图悄悄离开）；随后“his foot hit a wooden board and made a loud noise”（d.吉姆的脚撞到木板发出噪音）；最后Silver问“What was that?”表示怀疑（e.Silver和他的手下变得怀疑）。正确顺序为c-a-b-d-e。 54．根据文中描述，吉姆虽然害怕，但他知道必须告诉朋友，并且试图悄悄离开去报信，这体现了他的勇敢（Brave）和为他人着想的周全（thoughtful）。他并不愚蠢、懒惰或严肃。 14 Wilbur was a young pig living on Mr. Zuckerman’s farm. He had learned that pigs are killed for Christmas dinner. His friend Charlotte, a wise grey spider who lived in the barn, promised to save him. Now Wilbur was worried and couldn’t sleep. Wilbur lay down in the manure and closed his eyes. But he couldn’t sleep. The next morning he got up early and stood in the doorway of his pen, looking out at the world. “Charlotte,” he said softly. “Yes?” said Charlotte. “I’m very worried about Christmas. I don’t want to die.” Charlotte was silent for a moment. Then she spoke in a kind voice. “You won’t die, Wilbur. I am going to save you.” “How?” asked Wilbur. “That I do not know yet,” said Charlotte. “But I am thinking about it.” Wilbur trembled. “Please think harder,” he said. “I’m not very brave, Charlotte. I’m afraid of dying.” “You are going to live,” said Charlotte firmly. “Now please be quiet. I can’t think if you keep talking.” Wilbur tried to be quiet. But he was so nervous that he couldn’t stand still. He walked around the pen, sniffing at the ground. Then he lay down, got up again, and walked some more. “Wilbur!” said Charlotte. “You are making too much noise. Every time you move, the whole barn shakes.” “I’m sorry,” said Wilbur. “But I can’t help it.” “Well, try to help it,” said Charlotte. “And please stop shaking. You are shaking the web.” Wilbur tried his best to lie still. But after a few minutes, he got up again and walked to the door. “Where are you going?” asked Charlotte. “I think I’ll go to sleep in the corner,” said Wilbur. “Stay where you are,” said Charlotte. “I have an idea.” “What is it?” asked Wilbur excitedly. But Charlotte did not answer. She had climbed to the top of her web and was spinning. She pulled a long line of silk from her body and began to write something in the web. Wilbur watched her carefully. He saw her moving back and forth, back and forth. Her eight legs worked quickly. She was making letters. “What are you writing?” asked Wilbur. “You will see in the morning,” said Charlotte. “Now please go to sleep.” Wilbur lay down again. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep. But he was too excited. He kept opening his eyes to look at Charlotte. She worked all night long. When the sun came up the next morning, Wilbur looked up at the web. There, in the middle of it, Charlotte had written two words: SOME PIG Wilbur stared at the words. “What does that mean?” he asked. “It means that you are a very special pig,” said Charlotte. “And if people believe that, they will not want to kill you.” — Adapted from Charlotte’s Web by E.B．White 55．Why was Wilbur worried about Christmas?

Charlotte explained the words to Wilbur. A．c → d → a → b → e B．c → a → e → b → d C．d → a → b → c → e D．d → c → a → e→ b 57．What can we learn about Charlotte according to the passage?

His friend Charlotte, a wise grey spider who lived in the barn, promised to save him. Now Wilbur was worried and couldn’t sleep.”这直接说明威尔伯担心圣诞节的原因是他认为自己会被宰杀作为晚餐。 56．梳理故事情节发展顺序：c.文章开头提Wilbur担心得睡不着觉（Now Wilbur was worried and couldn’t sleep）；d.接着Charlotte承诺救他但还不知道方法（I am going to save you…That I do not know yet）；a.然后Wilbur紧张得制造噪音（Wilbur was so nervous that he made a lot of noise）；b.随后Charlotte有了主意并开始织字（I have an idea…began to write something）；e.最后第二天早上Charlotte解释了字的意思（Charlotte explained the words to Wilbur）。 57．根据文章中Charlotte用“kind voice”（温和的声音）说话，承诺“I am going to save you”（我会救你），并且整夜工作织网救Wilbur，可以看出她是善良的并决定帮助Wilbur。 58．最后威尔伯看到网上的字后问“What does that mean?”以及夏洛解释“you are a very special pig”，表明威尔伯仍然担心但很好奇。 15 Do you love to read?

This old book played an important role in the world and inspired (给予灵感) today’s works. Let’s learn more about it! Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). Like an encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time. The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals. Shan Hai Jing had a deep influence (影响) on the culture of mythology (神话学) in the world. It was taken to Japan during the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties, or much earlier. In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular. Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works. Liu Siliang is a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He said the book inspired the writing of Journey to the West and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio《聊斋志异》. Pop culture works also borrow ideas from the book. Some of the animals in the book even go into movies, such as Zouwu, the star monster in Shan Hai Jing. It has a tiger-body with stripes of five colors. Its tail is longer than its body. It can travel 1,600 kilometers in a day. We can see it in the popular movie Fantastic Beasts II in 2021. 62．Why did the writer talk about the strange animals in Paragraph 1? A．To answer some questions. B．To give some examples. C．To interest the readers. D．To make a conclusion. 63．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．The encyclopedia. B．The mythology. C．Shan Hai Jing. D．The monsters. 64．Which of the following can you find in Shan Hai Jing? 1. states 2. mountains 3. rivers 4. plants 5. art A．1234 B．123 C．234 D．345 65．What happened when Shan Hai Jing arrived in Japan? A．People liked the book except for the monsters. B．People were afraid of the monsters in the book. C．It was too difficult for people to understand. D．People liked both the book and the monsters. 66．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Shan Hai Jing has inspired works across the world. B．Shan Hai Jing includes many special monsters. C．Shan Hai Jing sells very well across the world. D．All people like the monsters from Shan Hai Jing. 【答案】62．C 63．C 64．B 65．D 66．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了《山海经》这部古老书籍，讲述了其成书时间、内容，对世界神话文化的影响，对众多作品的启发以及在日本的情况等。 【详解】62．第一段提到“Foxes with nine tails, animals with human faces and fish bodies, turtles with bird heads and snake tails, these magical animals are from Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas).”作者列举了《山海经》中各种奇特的动物，目的是引起读者的兴趣。 63．第二段“Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC). Like an encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time”中，前文提到了《山海经》，后面说像百科全书一样记录当时人们眼中的世界，所以“it”指代的是“Shan Hai Jing”。 64．第二段提到“The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals.”可知在《山海经》中能找到州、山、河，没有提到植物和艺术。所以能找到1、2、3。 65．第三段提到“In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular.”说明《山海经》到了日本后，书和书中的怪兽都很受欢迎。 66．文章最后一段提到“Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works.”以及前文对《山海经》对世界文化、作品等方面影响的阐述，可知文章主要讲的是《山海经》启发了世界各地的作品。 考向五：良好礼仪 17 How do people greet visitors?

Some gestures may even get you in trouble in foreign countries if you don’t know them well. So maybe it is best to keep your hands in your pockets when travelling. There are many kinds of hand gestures; here are some we usually use. People in most countries such as Canada and the USA use a thumbs-up to agree about something. But it may be unfriendly in some countries and shouldn’t be used at all. In Iran, Iraq and Thailand, it is an unfriendly gesture. What does making a circle with your thumb and index finger (食指) mean? In many countries, it means OK. That is not the only meaning, however. For example, it usually means “zero” rather than OK in Australia. And in Japan, it usually means money, but for young people it means OK. Don’t try to call someone to you by using this gesture of your index finger. It may mean “come here” in the USA．But it is an unfriendly hand gesture in most parts of the world. There are places where this could even get you in trouble! You have to worry about the “V” for winning sign. If you use it, you should keep your palm (手掌) facing away from you. If you turn your palm towards you, you’ll be thought to be unfriendly. 80．A thumbs-up is an unfriendly gesture in ________.

They no longer think that charity is only about donating money. Instead, they believe that small actions can also make a big difference. Take Xu Yifei, a 14-year-old student from Shanghai, for example. Every weekend, she volunteers at an animal shelter. She helps clean the cages and feed stray dogs and cats. “Seeing these animals find new homes makes me feel very proud,” she said. She believes that caring for living creatures is a form of charity. Meanwhile, in Beijing, a group of students from No. 8 Middle School started a project called “Helping Hands”. They collect used textbooks and stationery from their school and send them to rural schools in Sichuan Province. “Many kids there don't have enough money to buy new books. We want to share our resources with them,” said team leader Li Tao. Not all charity work is done outdoors. With the development of technology, online charity has also become popular among young people. Many students use their pocket money to buy meals for homeless people through apps. Through these platforms, they can track how their “love lunch” is delivered. Experts say that teenage participation in charity helps develop a sense of responsibility and empathy. It teaches students that “giving” brings more happiness than “taking”. 84．What do teenagers mainly think about charity now according to Paragraph 1? A．Only rich people can do charity. B．Charity is only about donating large sums of money. C．Small actions can also make a big difference. D．Charity is not important for students. 85．What does Xu Yifei do in her volunteer work?

D．To invite rural students to Beijing. 87．How do students help homeless people through online charity? A．By teaching them how to cook. B．By buying them meals through apps. C．By offering them free accommodation. D．By giving them their pocket money directly. 88．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．Technology makes charity easier. B．Students should focus on their studies. C．Homeless people need more help from society. D．Teenage participation in charity is beneficial. 【答案】84．C 85．B 86．A 87．B 88．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了近年来中国青少年参与慈善活动的新趋势。他们不再认为慈善只是捐钱，而是通过照顾动物、捐赠旧书、线上购餐等微小行动来践行慈善。文章最后指出，参与慈善有助于培养青少年的责任感和同理心。 【详解】84．根据第一段“They no longer think that charity is only about donating money. Instead, they believe that small actions can also make a big difference.”可知，现在的青少年认为小小的行动也能带来大的改变。 85．根据第二段“Every weekend, she volunteers at an animal shelter. She helps clean the cages and feed stray dogs and cats.”可知，徐一菲在志愿工作中帮忙清理笼子和喂养动物 86．根据第三段“They collect used textbooks and stationery from their school and send them to rural schools in Sichuan Province.”可知，“Helping Hands”项目的目的是给农村学校捐赠旧课本和文具。 87．根据第四段“Many students use their pocket money to buy meals for homeless people through apps.”可知，学生们通过手机应用为无家可归者购买餐食来提供帮助。 88．根据最后一段“Experts say that teenage participation in charity helps develop a sense of responsibility and empathy.”可知，本段主要阐述了青少年参与慈善活动是有益的，有助于培养他们的责任感和同理心。 22 Come and Help with the City Games     Our City Games will be held from next July 20th to 28th.

That’s exactly what a group of students at Kensington Health Sciences Academy (KHSA) in the USA did. Some years ago, the high school had no library. A determined group of students decided to take action and solve the problem themselves. They raised $1,000, bought a rolling cart (手推车), and collected free books from their community. They pushed the cart through the hallways to encourage students to read. Their big break came when they won $20,000 in a local contest (比赛). With the prize money, they turned their small cart into a real library in a small room. They named it the Dream Escape Library. They hoped it would be a place for students to dream and escape (逃避) into books. Their story touched the community, and help poured in. Thanks to the help, their library grew into a bright room. Now it is filled with everything from thousands of books to tables, comfortable chairs and computers. The students do all the work. They open the library after school, organize books and help classmates find good reads. Now, the library is open for about an hour after school, three days a week, but the students have a plan. They hope it is open during lunchtime to reach more students. 93．What did the students buy at first for their “library”? A．Secondhand books. B．A rolling cart. C．Tables and chairs. D．Computers. 94．Why did they name the library “DreamEscape”? A．It only has books about dreams. B．It is in a shared room near KHSA． C．It is a place to dream and enjoy reading. D．It is a place for students who want to escape. 95．What might be the best title for this passage? A．How to start a library. B．A school without a library. C．From a cart to a dream library. D．Famous libraries in the USA． 【答案】93．B 94．C 95．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了美国肯辛顿健康科学学院的一群学生自己动手建立图书馆的故事，他们最初用手推车收集免费书籍，后来赢得比赛奖金将手推车变成真正的图书馆，还得到了社区帮助使图书馆不断壮大，现在学生们负责图书馆的运营并希望扩大开放时间。 【详解】93．第二段提到“They raised $1,000, bought a rolling cart (手推车), and collected free books from their community.”，这直接表明学生们一开始为他们的“图书馆”买了手推车。 94．第三段提到“They named it the Dream Escape Library. They hoped it would be a place for students to dream and escape (逃避) into books.”，说明他们给图书馆命名为“Dream Escape”是因为希望它是一个让学生梦想并享受阅读的地方。 95．文章整体讲述了学生们从用手推车收集书籍到将其变成真正的图书馆的历程，第二段提到他们买了手推车收集书，第三段提到用奖金将手推车变成图书馆，第四段提到图书馆不断壮大，所以C选项“From a cart to a dream library.”（从手推车到梦想图书馆）作为标题最合适。 24 It was a rainy evening in a small town in southern China. A heavy rainstorm hit the mountain road, and a large rock fell onto the highway, blocking half of the road. Li Wei, a 38-year-old truck driver, was driving home with his 10-year-old daughter after a long day’s work. He was driving slowly on the right lane when he noticed two cars ahead suddenly disappear around the curve. Knowing something was wrong, he slowed down and stopped his truck right away. After getting out of the truck, Li Wei saw the huge rock blocking the road. His truck was only 10 meters away from the danger. “If I had kept driving, we would have hit the rock for sure,” he said later. Li Wei didn’t hesitate. He asked his daughter to stay in the truck and call the police, while he tried to stop the coming cars. At first, he used his truck’s warning lights and waved his arms, but some drivers didn’t see him in the rain. Two cars almost hit the rock because they were driving too fast. Then Li Wei took out his bright flashlight and stood in the middle of the road, waving and shouting loudly to every car that came by. Soon, the first car stopped. Then more and more drivers slowed down and stopped. Some drivers even got out to help move small stones away from the road. About 20 minutes later, the police and road workers arrived. They thanked Li Wei for saving so many lives. “In that moment, I didn’t think about myself. I just wanted to stop as many cars as possible and keep everyone safe,” Li Wei said. 96．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．The color of Li Wei’s truck. B．The place Li Wei was going to.

A．A terrible storm in the town. B．A useful phone call to the police. C．A hero driver in a road accident. D．Fast drivers on the mountain road. 【答案】96．B 97．C 98．A 99．C 【导语】本文讲述了卡车司机李伟在雨夜发现路中落石后，及时拦停过往车辆、避免事故的故事。 【详解】96．文中第2段提到“Li Wei, a 38-year-old truck driver, was driving home with his 10-year-old daughter after a long day’s work.”，说明我们可以得知李伟要去的地方（回家）。 97．根据原文顺序梳理事件：文中第1段提到“A heavy rainstorm hit the mountain road, and a large rock fell onto the highway”（②石头落到公路上）；文中第2段提到“He was driving slowly on the right lane”（④李伟在右侧车道缓慢行驶）；文中第2段提到“when he noticed two cars ahead suddenly disappear around the curve. Knowing something was wrong, he slowed down and stopped his truck right away”（③李伟及时发现危险）；文中第3段提到“he tried to stop the coming cars”（⑤李伟试图拦停过往车辆）；文中第5段提到“About 20 minutes later, the police and road workers arrived”（①警察到达）。因此正确顺序为②④③⑤①。 98．文中李伟在危险面前，不顾自身安危，主动拦停过往车辆，保护大家安全，体现了他的善良与勇敢。 99．全文围绕卡车司机李伟在事故中的英雄行为展开，讲述了他如何阻止事故发生、保护他人安全的故事，因此主旨是介绍事故中的英雄司机。 考向七：慈善组织 25 Last week, our school organized an activity called “Donate your love!”. Most of us were kind and took out our lucky money and pocket money. We put the money into the donation box one by one. After that, the headmaster gave a speech. He told us the total amount of the money raised by us and the lives of the children in the mountains. We also watched a short film about children’s life and study in the mountains. What terrible conditions they are in! At that time, I realized the donation box contained not only money, but our love for the children in poor mountainous areas. The money we donated would become those children’s schoolbags, clothes, books, or one of the bricks to build a new school, so that they could live a better life. In the evening, my mother said, “I will show you some pictures of the children in the mountains, then you may know how lucky you are.” She found some pictures for me on the website, and I found that it was even worse than I had imagined: old books, clothes made of a few pieces of cloth, mud walls, small pencil heads, broken tables and chairs. Tears came to my eyes. What impressed me most was a little girl, who held a pencil only two centimeters long in her hand but still focused on her studies. And the books on the table were simply tattered, which had been used a lot over a long period of time. I didn’t know what to say for a moment. However, that made me love my present life more. The children in the mountains dream of studying in bright big classrooms, but their poor lives break their dreams. The children in the mountains wish to play football happily on the playground, but the poor conditions stop them from realizing this wish. They don’t have the power to change, but we do. 100．Which statement is true about Paragraph 2? A．My mom showed me the pictures in order to make me cry. B．The kids in the mountains were luckier than I had thought. C．I cried because their living conditions were so hard. D．I wanted to go to the mountains with my mother to help them. 101．What does the underlined word “tattered” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Brand-new. B．Second-hand. C．Old-fashioned. D．Old and torn. 102．According to the passage, which of the following will the writer do? A．He will stop donating any money to the children in the mountains. B．He will try hard to help the children in the mountains. C．He will ask the headmaster and the other teachers to donate more money. D．He will go to the poor areas to work as a teacher in the future. 【答案】100．C 101．D 102．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者学校组织“捐赠爱心”活动，作者通过观看山区儿童生活的影片和母亲展示的照片，深受触动，意识到山区儿童生活的艰难和自己生活的幸运，并决心利用自己的力量去帮助他们。 【详解】100．第二段“She found some pictures for me on the website, and I found that it was even worse than I had imagined... Tears came to my eyes.”：说明作者看到山区孩子恶劣的生活条件（旧书、破衣服、泥墙等）后流下了眼泪。 101．第二段划线词后的定语从句“which had been used a lot over a long period of time”说明这些书应该是破旧不堪的，tattered意为“破旧的、撕裂的”。 102．文章最后一段“They don’t have the power to change, but we do.”以及全文作者参与捐款并被感动的语境可知，作者意识到自己有力量去改变现状，因此会努力去帮助山区的孩子。 26 Save the Children Save the Children is one of the oldest and largest children’s charities in the world.

Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your fingers. How do you feel then? With medical knowledge and skills today, 2/3 of the world’s 42 million blind people should not have to stand this illness. Unluckily, rich countries have this knowledge, but developing countries do not. ORBIS is an international charitable organization (国际慈善组织). Its goal is to help fight blindness all over the world. Inside a DC-8 airplane, there is a teaching hospital with television room and classroom. Doctors are taught the latest skills of helping the blind get sight again here. ORBIS is always trying to keep a closer relation among countries. ORBIS helps those developing countries by providing sight-saving training. It has taught over 35,000 doctors and nurses. They continue to treat thousands of blind people every year. They have traveled around the earth 3 times, visited 76 countries and treated over 20,000 blind people. They need your help to continue their work and free people from blindness. For just $ 38, you can help one person see; for $380, 10 people can see; $1,200 helps train a doctor new skills; and for $13,000, you can provide a training programme for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again. Your love can help them open their eyes to the world. 108．How many blind people should not have to suffer from this illness with medical knowledge and skills today? A．14 million. B．42 million.

When Shenzhou-20 was ready to come home, a tiny piece of space junk (太空垃圾) hit it! Luckily, the astronauts came back safely, but it made people think about a big problem — space junk. Space junk is all the rubbish that humans have left in space. This includes old satellites (卫星), used rocket (火箭) parts, and tiny pieces from crashes (碰撞). In 2009, two satellites hit each other and created thousands of space junk pieces! Astronauts also lose small things in space sometimes. In 1965, astronaut Ed White lost a glove during a spacewalk. When we started exploring space, we started making space junk Space junk is a growing problem. It flies around Earth about 20,000 km per hour! So even a small piece can damage a spacecraft (航天器). There are over 36,000 big pieces and millions of smaller ones moving around our planet. More junk means more crashes and even more junk. Scientists are thinking of ways to clean it up. All countries need to work together to keep space safe. After all, space is valuable for everyone. By working together, we can solve this problem and continue our exciting space journey. 116．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．What space junk is. B．How space junk moves. C．How to clean up space junk. D．Why space junk is dangerous. 117．How does the writer explain the idea that space junk is a “growing problem”? A．By describing how great the space looks.

This collection of nature recordings changed the way many people thought about whales, and it helped save thousands of whales’ lives. The album might never have been made without a sound engineer named Frank Watlington. In the 1960s, Watlington was making underwater recordings when he noticed some strange, deep sounds. He realized they were coming from whales. Watlington played the recordings for a pair of scientists named Roger and Katy Payne. When they listened, they fell in love with these beautiful voices at once. Katy Payne studied music as well as animals, and she was greatly surprised by how the whales communicated using sounds like an opera singer. She also noticed another interesting fact: the sounds had clear patterns. According to scientists, an animal sound with a repeating pattern is called a song. Some scientists even compared (比较) these singing animals to musicians. The Paynes thought that other people should also hear the beauty of the whales’ songs. So Roger made the recordings into an album. At the time when the album came out, whales were often caught, killed and traded for money. Some kinds were even in danger of dying out. Most people had never thought that whales could communicate through songs. But after hearing the album, they began to think differently. The album led people to take action to save whales. Musicians began using whale songs in their music, and whales were included in movies and television shows. In 1982, a ban (禁令) to stop deep-sea whaling was made. Before it, in the 1950s and 1960s, more than fifty thousand whales per year were killed. After it, the number went down below two thousand. It might seem impossible that just one album could help save the lives of so many whales. But this album told people secrets about whales that had long been hidden under the sea. It allowed whales to finally share their songs with the human world. 120．Who first found the special voices of the whales? A．A song recorder. B．An opera singer. C．A sound engineer.

The color is often caused by a sandstorm (沙尘暴). A sandstorm is a strong wind that picks up sand and dust (灰尘) from the ground. Do you know how powerful it can be? A single sandstorm can carry over 40 million tons of dust. ②To understand why sandstorms happen, we need to look at the factors (因素) that cause them. A large area of dry, loose sand is necessary. Without enough rain, the ground becomes very dry and breaks into tiny pieces. Strong winds are also required to lift the sand into the air. In spring, cold northern air often meets warm southern air, creating powerful winds. Moreover, if an area doesn’t have enough trees or plants, nothing can hold the soil (土壤) down. Without them, the wind can easily sweep the soil away. ③Sandstorms are dangerous weather events that harm people and the environment. When a sandstorm hits, the air fills with tiny dust, making breathing hard and causing sore eyes or throats. People with asthma or other breathing problems face greater risks. Sandstorms also lead to traffic accidents and flight delays. They damage crops, cover buildings with dust, and spread germs quickly. Over time, sandstorms speed up soil loss and turn land into desert. ④To reduce the damage, we should plant more trees and take good care of the soil. Since the 1970s, millions of trees have been planted across northern China. Take the Taklamakan Desert as an example, the new forests there not only stop sand but also take in CO2. ⑤However, China’s efforts can’t stop all sandstorms. Many of them don’t start in China at all. For example, dust from Mongolia’s Gobi Desert (蒙古的戈壁沙漠) can blow into China and even reach Japan. The dry land there has become a major source (来源) of sandstorms in East Asia. To truly solve the problem, planting trees only in China is not enough. ⑥Fighting against sandstorms takes time and patience, but every tree we plant counts. Each new tree holds the soil, reduces dust, and brings us one step closer to a cleaner world. By doing this, we are not only protecting ourselves today but also building a safer, brighter tomorrow for generations. 124．Which of the following shows the factors that cause sandstorms? A．Desert, strong winds, and breathing problems. B．Enough rain, dry loose sand and strong winds. C．Cold northern air, warm southern air and many trees. D．Dry loose sand, strong winds and few plants or trees. 125．Why does the author write “every tree we plant counts” in the last paragraph? A．To prove that counting trees is important to hold the soil. B．To suggest that planting trees is enough to stop sandstorms. C．To explain why it takes a long time to fight against sandstorms. D．To show that each small action plays an important role for the future. 126．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? Structure: Introduction→Causes & Effects→Solutions→Hope A．①→②③→④→⑤⑥ B．①→②③→④⑤→⑥ C．①②→③→④⑤→⑥ D．①②→③④→⑤→⑥ 127．The government wants to fight against the sandstorms. According to the passage, which plan would be the most effective (有效的)? A．Planting a large number of trees in the countryside. B．Working with neighboring countries to plant trees together. C．Providing free masks and air cleaners for people in the city. D．Building a 50-meter-high wall along the desert to stop sandstorms. 【答案】124．D 125．D 126．B 127．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了沙尘暴的成因、危害、应对措施及未来展望，呼吁人们重视植树造林与跨国合作，共同对抗沙尘暴。 【详解】124．文中第二段明确指出沙尘暴形成的关键因素：“A large area of dry, loose sand is necessary... Strong winds are also required... if an area doesn’t have enough trees or plants, nothing can hold the soil down.” 对应选项D的“Dry loose sand, strong winds and few plants or trees”，是原文直接信息的整合。 125．最后一段提到“every tree we plant counts”，后文补充“Each new tree holds the soil, reduces dust, and brings us one step closer to a cleaner world... building a safer, brighter tomorrow for generations”，说明这句话意在强调每一个微小的行动都对未来至关重要，对应选项D。 126．文章结构清晰：①：引入话题；②③：集中讲“成因+危害”，合并为“Causes & Effects”模块；④：提出解决方案（国内植树）⑤：补充说明解决方案的局限性，提出跨国治理的必要性，仍属于“Solutions”模块的延伸；⑥：表达未来展望（Hope），发出呼吁。对应选项B：①→②③→④⑤→⑥（Introduction→Causes & Effects→Solutions→Hope）。 127．文中第五段提到 “many of them don’t start in China at all... To truly solve the problem, planting trees only in China is not enough”，说明沙尘暴的治理需要跨国合作，对应选项B“Working with neighboring countries to plant trees together”。 32 The Green Miracle of Saihanba Long ago, Saihanba was a beautiful forest with many birds and animals. But in the late Qing Dynasty, people cut down too many trees. Years later, the forest disappeared, and the area became a barren desert. Strong sandstorms often hit Beijing, which is not far away. In 1962, the Chinese government decided to change this. A group of foresters came to Saihanba. Life was very hard there. The temperature could drop to -40℃ in winter. There was no house to live in and little food to eat. However, these foresters did not give up. They planted trees year after year.

After nearly 60 years of hard work, the miracle happened. Today, Saihanba is once again a huge forest. It is now known as the “Green Pearl” of North China. The change brings many benefits. The forest stops sandstorms from reaching Beijing. It also provides clean water and fresh air for millions of people. Many rare animals and birds have returned to their home. However, protecting the forest is still a long job. The foresters say, “Planting trees is easy, but keeping them alive is hard.” They continue to watch over the forest every day.
