Both 两者都;Either 两者之一;Neither 两者都不;None表示“没有一个”,通常用于两者或更多事物均不符合的情形。根据问句“By phone or by (text) message?”可知是在两者之间进行选择,结合答语后句“I went to her home and told her in person.”可知实际方式是亲自去,否定了前两者,表示“两者都不”,应填Neither。

Let’s share stories about the influence of ancient Chinese poems on modern teens.
A Young idler, an old beggar.
In a small village in Sichuan, Li Ming is an aimless boy lying flat. He was too lazy to try or care. So he hated getting up early for school. Every morning, his mother was anxious enough to pull him from bed. One day, his grandfather wrote on a piece of paper: “A young idler, an old beggar.” Li Ming did not understand at first. His grandfather explained, “If you waste your youth, you will have nothing when you grow old.” The next morning, Li Ming woke up by himself. He began to study before sunrise. “I don’t want to be a beggar,” he smiled.
Heaven has made us talents, we are not made in vain.
Zhang Wei was a city girl who moved to the countryside with her parents. She missed the bright lights and busy streets. One rainy evening, she read a line from Li Bai: “Heaven has made us talents, we are not made in vain.” She thought about it for a long time. The next day, she started painting the beautiful mountains outside her window. “Maybe my talent is not lost,” she said. “It just needs a new view.”
________
Wang Lin used to be afraid of going high. When her class went on a trip to a small mountain, she wanted to stay at the bottom. Her teacher whispered a line from Wang Zhihuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Lin felt ashamed for it. She took a deep breath and started climbing. When she reached the top, she saw the whole valley. “It was worth every step,” she laughed. Now she is never afraid of heights.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要通过三个故事讲述了中国古代诗歌对现代青少年的影响,分别展示了诗歌如何激励青少年改变生活态度、发现自身天赋以及克服恐惧。
【26题详解】
文章开头明确指出“Let’s share stories about the influence of ancient Chinese poems on modern teens”。选项A“ANCIENT POEMS AND MODERN TEENS”直接对应文章的主题,最能概括三个故事的核心内容,因此在这部分最可能找到这三个故事。
【27题详解】
第一个故事讲述了李明因爷爷写的一句诗“A young idler, an old beggar”而改变懒惰习惯的故事。故事里对李明的状态“an aimless boy lying flat”“too lazy to try or care”、他妈妈的行为“anxious enough to pull him from bed”、爷爷的行为“wrote on a piece of paper”以及李明的心理变化“did not understand at first”“smiled”都有细致的描写,通过这些描写来展现故事的情节和人物的转变,属于描写手法的运用。

第二个故事中,张薇读到李白的诗句“Heaven has made us talents, we are not made in vain”后,用绘画记录乡村美景。这表明她找到了一种新的方式来运用她的天赋。
【29题详解】
第三个故事中,根据后文王林“took a deep breath and started climbing”以及到达山顶后看到“the whole valley”,可以推断老师说的诗是鼓励她登高望远的。选项B“You can enjoy a grander sight, by climbing to a greater height”符合这一语境,是王之涣《登鹳雀楼》中的诗句。
【30题详解】
第三个故事中的诗句“You can enjoy a grander sight, by climbing to a greater height”主要鼓励人们“Climb higher to see a better view”,即通过努力克服困难,达到更高的境界以获得更好的视野。
B
A man who looked like a tourist sat in the outdoor dining area. He had a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen sticking out of his bag. He was drinking lemonade and looking at a shiny cruise brochure. But he hadn’t turned a page for the last ten minutes! His sunglasses masked his eyes. I knew he wasn’t really reading.
When I brought him what he had ordered, he coughed up a “thank you” and looked at me quickly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar above his left eyebrow.
I walked back inside, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen him.
Then it hit me. The car accident! A stranger had pulled me out of my damaged car just before it exploded! That stranger was him. I rushed back to his table, he was gone.
I moved his plate and found his tip, along with a card. The card read:
I am deeply grateful to you. On the night of your car accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life helped me see things clearly—Money means nothing compared to life. I now live an honest life. Thanks to you. God bless you! Mr. D.
I felt shocked. That night of the accident, I had been going to amuse myself at a dirty dance club. Seeing his kindness changed my life, too, and brought back my belief.
I opened the tip he left. Among the one-dollar bills was a $100 bill. On it, someone had underlined the words “In God We Trust” with a pen.
I said a quiet prayer for him and went back to work, smiling.
31. What was the tourist doing when the writer first saw him?
A. Taking photos of the view. B. Reading a brochure carefully.
C. Pretending to look at a brochure. D. Eating his meal on the terrace.
32. The underlined phrase “it hit me” in paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. someone hit me on the head B. I suddenly remembered something
C. the car accident hurt me D. I found the tip under the plate
33. Why did the stranger leave a card for the writer?
A. To ask the writer for help. B. To tell the writer that his life is really good.
C. To explain that he had robbed a store. D. To show that saving the writer changed his life.
34. What can we infer about the writer’s own life before the accident?
A. He was a rich man. B. He was going to do something wrong.
C. He worked as a police officer. D. He often prayed for others.
35. What is the best title for the story?
A. A Strange Tourist B. The Car Accident
C. A Tip That Changed Two Lives D. In God We Trust
【答案】31. C 32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了身为服务员的“我”,在餐厅遇到一位神秘顾客,认出他正是多年前车祸中救了自己的陌生人。当年,他本是去抢劫珠宝店的路上,却因救人而改变了人生轨迹,而他的善举也同时挽救了“我”,让迷途的“我”重拾信念,两人的人生都因那次救援而发生了改变。
【31题详解】
根据文章第一段中looking at a shiny cruise brochure. But he hadn't turned a page for the last ten minutes! ... I knew he wasn’t really reading.”可知,那个人只是在假装看手册,实际上并没有阅读。
【32题详解】
根据文章第三段中“He looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember...”以及第四段中“Then it hit me. The car accident! ... That stranger was him.”可知,“it hit me”在此处表示作者突然想起了某事或猛然意识到真相。
【33题详解】
根据文章第五段卡片内容“Saving your life helped me see things clearly... I now live an honest life. Thanks to you.”可知,陌生人留卡片是为了表达感激,并说明这次事件(涉及作者的车祸)改变了他的人生轨迹。选项D指出“救人这一行为(即救作者)改变了他的人生”,符合文章主旨。
【34题详解】
根据文章第六段中“That night of the accident, I had been going to an amusement at a dirty dance club. Seeing his kindness changed my life, too, and brought back my belief.”可知,作者事故发生前的生活状态消极、迷失,与陌生人当时要去抢劫类似,都走在错误的道路上。
【35题详解】
文章讲述了作者与陌生人在车祸后各自的人生发生改变,最后通过小费和卡片揭示了真相。故事的核心在于这次相遇和小费揭示的信息改变了两个人的生活轨迹。选项C“改变了两条生命的小费”最能概括文章主题。
C
According to Ken Croswell, the Sun and the Moon are greatly different in nature and working rules in space. In our daily life, we often have a common idea that the Sun rules the whole daytime sky and the Moon takes charge of the quiet night sky. This simple idea is easy to understand for all people but it is only partially correct and cannot explain the real science behind them.
The Sun is a bright and fiery star that shines all the time without stopping. It gives out strong light and heat nonstop in outer space. It brightly lights up the sky during the day when we can clearly see it above our heads, and it still keeps shining brightly even at night when we turn away from it and cannot catch sight of it at all.
As the Earth keeps spinning (自转) slowly and steadily all year round, different areas will face the Sun one after another. When our place turns to face the Sun directly, warm and bright daytime comes to us. When the Earth’s spin turns our area away from the Sun, we will fall into the Earth’s shadow, and then peaceful night arrives. At the same time, people living on the opposite side of the Earth are facing the bright Sun, so they enjoy sunny daytime while we stay in dark night.
The Moon is a totally different celestial body (天体) compared with the Sun. Unlike the powerful Sun, the Moon has no ability to produce light by itself. The soft moonlight we see every night is not made by the Moon itself. It is actually the bright sunlight that hits the surface of the Moon and reflects back to the Earth for us to see.
The Sun can only light up the single side of the Moon that is close to and faces the Sun directly. At Full Moon, the Moon stays on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The whole side of the Moon facing the Earth is fully lit up. It rises at sunset, shines all night long and sets at sunrise. Its light is bright enough to be seen in the daytime. Near Full Moon, we can spot it in the east afternoon or west morning. The New Moon is the hardest to see, as it lies between the Earth and the Sun, leaving its Earth-facing side totally dark to our eyes.
36. What can we know about the Sun?

阅读下面短文,用方框中所给的单词或短语填空,使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。 (提示:方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。)
Listen to/dry/predicted/number/find/magical/times
Do you know nature’s hidden power? You can’t imagine how ___41___ our nature is! Sometimes rain or shine doesn’t need to be ___42___ in a weather app——you just need nature!
Do you want to know the outside temperature? ___43___ the chirping of crickets (蟋蟀的啾啾声)! Count how many ___44___ a cricket chirps in 15 seconds and add 40. That’s the temperature in Fahrenheit (华氏度). Do it several times and ___45___ the average (平均数). Test it right away.
【答案】41. magical
42. predicted
43. Listen to
44. times 45. find
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了大自然蕴含的潜在能力,讲述可通过蟋蟀的鸣叫声测量外界温度,展现了大自然的奇妙有趣。
【41题详解】
句意:你想象不到我们的大自然有多神奇!此处是“how+形容词+主语+谓语”的感叹句结构,需填形容词,magical意为“神奇的”,形容大自然的神奇,符合语境。
【42题详解】
句意:有时阴晴不需要在天气软件里被预测——你只需要大自然!本句为被动语态,be动词后接动词过去分词。由“you just need nature”可知,天气变化不需要被预测,predicted意为“被预测”,符合语法及语义。
【43题详解】
句意:听蟋蟀的啾啾声!根据“the chirping of crickets”可知,作者建议“听”蟋蟀的叫声。本句为祈使句,句首需用动词原形,Listen to意为“听”,符合语境。
【44题详解】
句意:数蟋蟀15秒内鸣叫的次数,再加40。根据“a cricket chirps in 15 seconds”可知,数的是鸣叫的“次数”。how many后接可数名词复数,times意为“次数”,符合语法。
【45题详解】
句意:多测几次并算出平均数。and连接并列祈使句,前后均用动词原形,根据“the average”可知,“find the average”意为“求出平均数”。find意为“找出、算出”,符合语境。
六、综合填空 (共 10 小题,每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)
阅读下面短文,根据上下文或括号内单词等提示,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。
“It is just too funny, ha-ha”, and just like this: Three hours have passed until you realize you ___46___ (do) nothing so far! Some experts say if we don’t put our phones down, we are definitely going to be stupid.
So why is it so hard to say no to short videos? Algorithmic recommendation (算法推荐) must be the answer, because it is so smart that it can find out what we are interested in and meet our needs accordingly. ___47___ more we like something, the more it will feed us similar content, continually like forever.
Now, you see why it’s so hard to refuse short videos. It’s time to figure out why they make you stupid.
One reason is that they narrow your field of perception (认知范围)! When ___48___ (look) through many similar videos you might think you’re becoming more knowledgeable. Sadly, the truth is that you are actually in an information cocoon (信息茧房), because you always stick to a few certain ___49___ (subject) that interest you. Believe it or not, if you unlock your mother’s phone, you may find that you two are in ___50___ (total) different worlds!
Another reason is that you may lose the patience to read, think, etc. Since you’ ve already got used to this low-cost and high-return form of ___51___ (entertain), you will never be patient with anything that ___52___ (require) time and effort.
So here is the third reason. Short videos can easily make us emotional. We often judge others quickly after watching a video and leave comments right away. Later, we may find the truth is different, and we feel sorry ___53___ what we have said.
So now you see, you become stupid bit by bit without ___54___ (realize) it. Maybe it’s time to wake up—— you need a better way to entertain ______55______ (you).
【答案】46. have done
47. The 48. looking
49. subjects
50. totally
51. entertainment
52. requires
53. for 54. realizing
55. yourself
【解析】
【导语】本文分析了短视频让人变笨的原因:算法推荐让人陷入信息茧房、降低耐心、易情绪化,提醒人们需用更健康的方式娱乐。
【46题详解】
句意:三个小时过去了,你才意识到自己到目前为止什么都没做!“so far”提示用现在完成时,主语是“you”,填“have done”。
【47题详解】
句意:我们越喜欢某样东西,它就越会持续给我们推送类似内容。“the + 比较级,the + 比较级”是固定结构(越……,越……),填“The”。
【48题详解】
句意:当浏览很多类似的视频时,你可能觉得自己变得更有见识了。此处省略了主语“you”,与“look”是主动关系,填“looking”。
【49题详解】
句意:因为你总是局限于几个自己感兴趣的特定主题。“a few”后接可数名词复数,“subject”的复数是“subjects”。
【50题详解】
句意:你可能会发现你们俩完全处于不同的世界!此处修饰形容词“different”,用“total”的副词形式“totally”。
【51题详解】
句意:因为你已经习惯了这种低成本、高回报的娱乐形式。此处作介词“of”的宾语,用“entertain”的名词形式“entertainment”。
【52题详解】
句意:你将再也不会对任何需要时间和精力的事情有耐心。定语从句中先行词“anything”是不定代词,谓语动词用第三人称单数“requires”。
【53题详解】
句意:后来,我们可能发现真相并非如此,会为自己说过的话感到抱歉。“feel sorry for...”是固定搭配(为……感到抱歉),填“for”。
【54题详解】
句意:所以现在你明白了,你在不知不觉中一点点变笨。介词“without”后接动名词,填“realizing”。
【55题详解】
句意:也许是时候清醒了——你需要一种更好的方式来娱乐自己。此处作宾语,与主语“you”是同一对象,用反身代词“yourself”。

Let’s share stories about the influence of ancient Chinese poems on modern teens.
A Young idler, an old beggar.
In a small village in Sichuan, Li Ming is an aimless boy lying flat. He was too lazy to try or care. So he hated getting up early for school. Every morning, his mother was anxious enough to pull him from bed. One day, his grandfather wrote on a piece of paper: “A young idler, an old beggar.” Li Ming did not understand at first. His grandfather explained, “If you waste your youth, you will have nothing when you grow old.” The next morning, Li Ming woke up by himself. He began to study before sunrise. “I don’t want to be a beggar,” he smiled.
Heaven has made us talents, we are not made in vain.
Zhang Wei was a city girl who moved to the countryside with her parents. She missed the bright lights and busy streets. One rainy evening, she read a line from Li Bai: “Heaven has made us talents, we are not made in vain.” She thought about it for a long time.

A man who looked like a tourist sat in the outdoor dining area. He had a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen sticking out of his bag. He was drinking lemonade and looking at a shiny cruise brochure. But he hadn’t turned a page for the last ten minutes! His sunglasses masked his eyes. I knew he wasn’t really reading.
When I brought him what he had ordered, he coughed up a “thank you” and looked at me quickly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar above his left eyebrow.
I walked back inside, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen him.
Then it hit me. The car accident! A stranger had pulled me out of my damaged car just before it exploded! That stranger was him. I rushed back to his table, he was gone.
I moved his plate and found his tip, along with a card. The card read:
I am deeply grateful to you. On the night of your car accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life helped me see things clearly—Money means nothing compared to life. I now live an honest life. Thanks to you. God bless you! Mr. D.
I felt shocked. That night of the accident, I had been going to amuse myself at a dirty dance club. Seeing his kindness changed my life, too, and brought back my belief.
I opened the tip he left. Among the one-dollar bills was a $100 bill. On it, someone had underlined the words “In God We Trust” with a pen.
I said a quiet prayer for him and went back to work, smiling.

A. He was a rich man. B. He was going to do something wrong.
C. He worked as a police officer. D. He often prayed for others.
35. What is the best title for the story?

C
According to Ken Croswell, the Sun and the Moon are greatly different in nature and working rules in space. In our daily life, we often have a common idea that the Sun rules the whole daytime sky and the Moon takes charge of the quiet night sky. This simple idea is easy to understand for all people but it is only partially correct and cannot explain the real science behind them.
The Sun is a bright and fiery star that shines all the time without stopping. It gives out strong light and heat nonstop in outer space. It brightly lights up the sky during the day when we can clearly see it above our heads, and it still keeps shining brightly even at night when we turn away from it and cannot catch sight of it at all.
As the Earth keeps spinning (自转) slowly and steadily all year round, different areas will face the Sun one after another. When our place turns to face the Sun directly, warm and bright daytime comes to us. When the Earth’s spin turns our area away from the Sun, we will fall into the Earth’s shadow, and then peaceful night arrives. At the same time, people living on the opposite side of the Earth are facing the bright Sun, so they enjoy sunny daytime while we stay in dark night.
The Moon is a totally different celestial body (天体) compared with the Sun. Unlike the powerful Sun, the Moon has no ability to produce light by itself. The soft moonlight we see every night is not made by the Moon itself. It is actually the bright sunlight that hits the surface of the Moon and reflects back to the Earth for us to see.
The Sun can only light up the single side of the Moon that is close to and faces the Sun directly. At Full Moon, the Moon stays on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The whole side of the Moon facing the Earth is fully lit up. It rises at sunset, shines all night long and sets at sunrise. Its light is bright enough to be seen in the daytime. Near Full Moon, we can spot it in the east afternoon or west morning. The New Moon is the hardest to see, as it lies between the Earth and the Sun, leaving its Earth-facing side totally dark to our eyes.
36. What can we know about the Sun?
A. The Sun rules the Moon all the time. B. The Sun shines during both day and night.
C. The Sun lights up all sides of the Moon. D. The Sun shines everywhere at the same time.
37. Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the word “shadow” in Paragraph 3?
A. The shape of the Earth. B. The force from the Sun.
C. The dark area on the Earth. D. The opposite side of the Sun.
38. Which of the following pictures shows us New Moon?
A. B.
C. D.
39. Which of the following can make its own light?
A. Earth. B. Mars. C. Moon. D. Sun.
40. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To compare the sizes of the Sun and the Moon.
B. To explain the Sun and Moon’s nature and rules.

Do you know nature’s hidden power? You can’t imagine how ___41___ our nature is! Sometimes rain or shine doesn’t need to be ___42___ in a weather app——you just need nature!
Do you want to know the outside temperature? ___43___ the chirping of crickets (蟋蟀的啾啾声)! Count how many ___44___ a cricket chirps in 15 seconds and add 40. That’s the temperature in Fahrenheit (华氏度). Do it several times and ___45___ the average (平均数). Test it right away.
六、综合填空 (共 10 小题,每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)
阅读下面短文,根据上下文或括号内单词等提示,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。
“It is just too funny, ha-ha”, and just like this: Three hours have passed until you realize you ___46___ (do) nothing so far! Some experts say if we don’t put our phones down, we are definitely going to be stupid.
So why is it so hard to say no to short videos? Algorithmic recommendation (算法推荐) must be the answer, because it is so smart that it can find out what we are interested in and meet our needs accordingly. ___47___ more we like something, the more it will feed us similar content, continually like forever.
Now, you see why it’s so hard to refuse short videos. It’s time to figure out why they make you stupid.
One reason is that they narrow your field of perception (认知范围)! When ___48___ (look) through many similar videos you might think you’re becoming more knowledgeable. Sadly, the truth is that you are actually in an information cocoon (信息茧房), because you always stick to a few certain ___49___ (subject) that interest you. Believe it or not, if you unlock your mother’s phone, you may find that you two are in ___50___ (total) different worlds!
Another reason is that you may lose the patience to read, think, etc. Since you’ ve already got used to this low-cost and high-return form of ___51___ (entertain), you will never be patient with anything that ___52___ (require) time and effort.
So here is the third reason. Short videos can easily make us emotional. We often judge others quickly after watching a video and leave comments right away. Later, we may find the truth is different, and we feel sorry ___53___ what we have said.
So now you see, you become stupid bit by bit without ___54___ (realize) it. Maybe it’s time to wake up—— you need a better way to entertain ______55______ (you).
