Volunteers must bring their own trash bags and drinking water. B. Volunteers should bring single-use plastic items. C. Lots of sea creatures lose their lives because of plastic pollution. D. Volunteers won’t get any certificate after joining the event. B When we hear the word “doubt”, we often think of uncertainty or lack of confidence. However, doubt is far from being a weakness. In fact, it is one of the most powerful tools for learning and discovery. Without doubt, we would simply accept everything we are told, never questioning, never exploring deeper. ① Throughout history, major breakthroughs have been made because someone dared to doubt the popular dogma. For example, Copernicus doubted the long-held beliefs that the Earth was the center of the universe. His doubt led to a new understanding of our solar system. Also, Galileo doubted old theories (理论) about how things move. His doubt helped start modern physics. These great minds did not accept things blindly. Instead, they asked, “What if?” and “Why not?” In today’s education system, however, doubt is often discouraged. Students are expected to memorize facts and formulas, and exams are designed to test how well they can repeat what they have been taught. Questions that challenge the textbook are sometimes seen as troublesome. This “one right answer” culture leaves little room for skepticism. ② As a result, many students lose their natural curiosity and become passive learners. But how can we bring healthy doubt back into learning? Firstly, teachers should create a classroom environment where asking questions is valued as much as giving correct answers. Secondly, students themselves must realize that doubt is not a sign of ignorance, but a step toward deeper understanding. ③ Of course, doubt must be guided by reason and evidence. Blind doubt is as useless as blind acceptance. ④ The goal is not to doubt everything, but to think critically and seek truth. 16. The underlined word “dogma” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. a belief that people are unwilling to question B. a scientific theory that can be proved by experiments C. a personal opinion that changes easily over time D. a historical event that is recorded in textbooks 17. The writer mentions Copernicus and Galileo in Paragraph 2 mainly to show that ________. A. they are the greatest scientists in history B. doubt can lead to major discoveries and progress C. people should always accept popular beliefs D. it is dangerous to challenge widely held beliefs 18. Where can the following sentence best be put? “For instance, when a student questions a historical event described in the textbook, he or she should be encouraged to research different sources.” A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 19. According to the passage, what is one problem with today’s education system? A. It offers too many chances for students to express creative ideas. B. It often treats challenging questions as unwelcome or troublesome. C. It encourages students to learn from their own mistakes actively. D. It focuses mainly on group work instead of independent thinking. 20. What will the author most probably discuss in the next paragraph? A. Ways to help students memorize more facts for their final exams. B. More scientists who made discoveries by doubting accepted ideas. C. Reasons why schools should continue to discourage questioning. D. How to check facts and think logically when we doubt. C When I was fifteen, my family moved from a noisy city in China to a quiet town in northern England. I could speak English quite well, so I thought fitting in would be easy. But I soon discovered that the hardest part wasn’t the language—it was the silence. During the first week at my new school, my classmate Emily invited me to her house for a Saturday lunch. I was delighted and arrived on time, carrying a carefully chosen gift—a box of fine Chinese tea. Emily’s mother thanked me warmly but didn’t open the gift. She simply placed it on a side table. I felt a little upset. In China, we open gifts immediately to show appreciation. I wondered if she didn’t like it. Lunch was served, and the table was beautifully set. As we ate, I noticed how differently the family spoke. In my home, meals were lively. Everyone talked, laughed, and shared stories. But here, the conversation was soft and slow. When there was a natural pause, nobody rushed to fill it. The silence felt heavy to me, almost uncomfortable. I kept thinking I needed to say something to break it. I tried to fill the silence twice, and both times I made mistakes. The first time, I jumped in with a question just as someone else was about to speak. The second time, I interrupted Emily’s father right in the middle of his sentence without even realizing it. My face burned when I noticed the patient look he gave me. “I’m so sorry,” I whispered. He simply nodded and smiled. After lunch, Emily’s mother finally opened my gift. She smelled the tea leaves, smiled warmly, and said it was lovely. She explained that in many English homes, gifts are opened after the meal, when there is more time to properly appreciate them. Later, Emily told me quietly, “In our family, silence isn’t empty. Sometimes it’s just a space where everyone is thinking together.” That afternoon, I began to understand a difference in kind of politeness. One that doesn’t rush to fill every gap; one that listens just as carefully as it speaks. I had gone to England thinking I knew how to be polite. But that Saturday taught me that good manners are not a set of fixed rules. They are a way of understanding others, even their silences. 21. Why did the writer feel upset when Emily’s mother didn’t open the gift immediately? A. Because she thought the mother was too busy to open it. B. Because in her own culture, gifts are opened straight away to show thanks. C. Because she worried the tea was not expensive enough. D. Because Emily told her not to bring any gifts. 22. How did the writer’s feelings change during the lunch? A. From excited to bored. B. From nervous to disappointed. C. From angry to sad. D. From uncomfortable to understanding. 23. Why did the writer feel her face “burn” when Emily’s father looked at her patiently? A. Because she realized she had been talking too loudly. B. Because the food was too hot for her to eat. C. Because she suddenly understood she had interrupted him. D. Because Emily’s father was angry with her. 24. What can we infer from Emily’s words “silence isn’t empty” in Paragraph 5? A. Emily’s family prefers silence to conversation. B. For Emily’s family, silence is a shared, meaningful space. C. The writer should not speak during meals. D. English people never feel uncomfortable with silence. 25. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A. A Foreigner in an English Home B. The Weight of Unspoken Words C. An Unwelcome Guest D. What Not to Say at Dinner 三、信息还原 根据对话内容和所给句子选项、将对话补充完整，使其通顺达意，选项中有两项为多余选项。（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” These are certainly words that millions of volunteers around the world could agree with. In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to what they care about. ____26____ People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices. ____27____ Take Andrew Makhoul, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, as an example. Andrew didn’t spend his last spring break relaxing. Instead, the 19­-year-­old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself. He travelled to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. ____28____ And it depends on volunteers to stay open. Andrew doesn’t speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn’t a problem, “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university’s website. And what he gave out, he got back, “____29____” Andrew’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he’d be back soon—because he saw love and hope. US author Sherry Anderson once wrote, “____30____” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do—their work is “priceless”． A. It’s a chance for poor children to get better care and support. B. Life will be difficult, but I have the confidence to live a happy, full life. C. For young adults, valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering. D. Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless. E. It is in one of the poorest parts of the country. F. You could see love when you looked in their eyes. G. Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid. 四、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） (A)根据句意和汉语注释，在答卷标有题号的横线上，写出单词的适当形式。 31.

At school, she always sat at the back of the classroom, hoping the teacher would not call her name. It was not because she didn’t know the answers. In fact, she studied hard and got good grades. The real problem was her fear of speaking in front of others. Every time she thought about raising her hand, her heart would beat fast and her face would turn red. The words seemed to get stuck in her throat. This fear followed her for years. She avoided class discussions and never joined any clubs. Her teachers thought she was just shy and would grow out of it. But deep inside, Mia felt unhappy with herself. She wanted to change, but she didn’t know how. One day, her English teacher announced that every student had to give a three-minute speech. When Mia heard this, she felt sick. She spent a whole week worrying about it. But as she prepared, something unexpected happened. Her best friend Lucas offered to help her practise. Every afternoon, they sat in the empty classroom. Lucas listened patiently and gave her advice. He also taught her a simple trick: take three deep breaths before speaking and focus on one kind face in the room. On the day of the speech, Mia’s hands were shaking. But she took three deep breaths, looked at Lucas, and began to speak. To her surprise, her voice came out clear and strong. When she finished, the whole class clapped. That moment changed everything for Mia. From then on, Mia began to raise her hand more often. She joined the school debate club and even entered a speaking competition. She learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision to move forward despite it. 51. What was Mia’s problem at the beginning of the story? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Why did Mia feel unhappy with herself? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 53.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述我们应正确看待不同文化的人，避免刻板印象，通过交流和理解庆祝差异，建立文化桥梁，促进世界友好。 【1题详解】 句意：你有没有觉得某人只是吓人的，因为他们看起来不一样，或者吃奇怪的食物？ 原文描述了对不同文化的人产生刻板负面印象的场景，scary符合此处语境，sad难过的、beautiful漂亮的、shy害羞的，均与语境不符。 【2题详解】 句意：好吧，他们可能也会认为同样的事来评价你！ 此处表达“他们也可能对你有同样的看法”，think符合“评价他人”的逻辑，refuse拒绝、shout大喊、like喜欢，均不匹配。 【3题详解】 句意：我们有时会用错误的方式对待来自其他文化的人。 后文举例说明了这种错误对待的情况，说明这种行为并非罕见，sometimes符合语境，hardly几乎不、seldom很少、never从不，均与后文举例矛盾。 【4题详解】 句意：例如，你有没有因为妹妹做的事，而让你的整个家庭都受到责备？ 根据后文提到的“your little sister”，可以判断此处指代的是家庭，family与妹妹属于同一群体，class班级、neighbor邻居、school学校，不符合逻辑。 【5题详解】 句意：事实上，因为两三个人的所作所为而指责整个文化是不正确的。 原文对“以偏概全地指责整个文化”的行为做出否定判断，用right搭配否定含义，可表达“这种做法不正确”，贴合语境。 【6题详解】 句意：所以你可以做以下事情来帮助自己理解其他文化。 文章主旨是呼吁尊重文化差异，此处指帮助自己理解其他文化，understand符合目的，remember记住、teach教、keep 保持，均不匹配。 【7题详解】 句意：记住，即使有些人外表不同，那也不会改变他们的内在是什么样的。 根据原文“even though some people look different on the outside, that doesn’t…what they are like on the inside”，此处强调外表差异不影响内在本质，change符合逻辑，stay停留、see看、move移动，均与语境不符。 【8题详解】 句意：我们都有同样的感受！ 根据后文“We all feel joy, sadness, love and fear”，可以判断此处指代的是感受，feelings与后文情绪直接对应，dreams梦、experiences经历、hopes希望，不匹配。 【9题详解】 句意：你可以问他们对自己的文化有什么了解。 原文表达的是询问对方对自身文化的认知，know符合语境；write写、sing唱语义不通；talk谈论需搭配about才符合用法，此处结构不匹配。 【10题详解】 句意：更多地了解你自己和你所来自的文化。 此处指代自身的本土文化，根据原文逻辑，come from符合语境，look like看起来像、ask for请求、agree with同意，均不匹配。 二、阅读理解阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分） A 11.

Lots of sea creatures lose their lives because of plastic pollution. D. Volunteers won’t get any certificate after joining the event. 【答案】11. B 12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一张公益海滩清理活动的海报，介绍了活动的背景、时间地点、集合点、需携带物品、活动内容及联系方式，呼吁大家清理海岸垃圾、保护海洋。 【11题详解】 根据海报标题下方第一行“A Charity Beach Clean-up Event”海报明确说明这是一场公益海滩清理活动（A beach clean-up event）。 【12题详解】 根据原文“Time: 8:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.”活动从上午8:30持续到11:30，时长为3小时（Three hours）。 【13题详解】 根据原文“Meeting Point: In front of the Beach Visitor Centre”，海报明确标注集合点为海滩游客中心前（In front of the Beach Visitor Centre）。 【14题详解】 根据原文底部“Contact: 8276-5555 or cleanthecoast@school.org”可知联系方式为电话和邮箱，D选项就是原文信息。 【15题详解】 根据原文“Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter our oceans. Thousands of marine animals die from eating or being trapped in waste.”文中提到大量海洋生物因塑料污染死亡，对应选项C。选项A：海报说明“drinking water provided”和“we’ll provide trash bags”，无需自带垃圾袋和饮用水；选项B：海报要求“No single-use plastic items, please!”，禁止携带一次性塑料制品；选项D：活动会“Receive a certificate of participation”，参与者可获得参与证书。 B When we hear the word “doubt”, we often think of uncertainty or lack of confidence.

D. How to check facts and think logically when we doubt. 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. C 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了“质疑”的真正价值，指出它并非软弱的表现，而是推动学习、发现与科学进步的强大工具。文章批判了现代教育体系中对质疑的忽视，并提出了如何在学习中重建健康质疑精神的方法，强调质疑应建立在理性与证据之上，最终目的是培养批判性思维、追求真理。 【16题详解】 根据第二段“Throughout history, major breakthroughs have been made because someone dared to doubt the popular dogma.”及后文提到的哥白尼怀疑“地球是宇宙中心”这一长期持有的信念可知，dogma指的是人们普遍接受且不愿质疑的信条或教条。选项A“人们不愿质疑的信念”符合语境。 【17题详解】 第二段的主旨句是“Throughout history, major breakthroughs have been made because someone dared to doubt the popular dogma.”，举哥白尼和伽利略的例子，正是为了证明“质疑能带来重大发现与进步”。 【18题详解】 所给句子是一个具体的教学场景例子，对应第三段“如何把健康的质疑带回学习中”的建议，放在位置③处，能承接“教师应创造鼓励提问的课堂环境”这一观点，举例说明老师该怎么做，逻辑最通顺。 【19题详解】 根据原文第三段“Questions that challenge the textbook are sometimes seen as troublesome.”可知，如今的教育体系常把挑战课本的问题视为麻烦事，和选项B“它常常把有挑战性的问题当作不受欢迎或麻烦的事”一致。 【20题详解】 文章最后一段提到“doubt must be guided by reason and evidence... The goal is not to doubt everything, but to think critically and seek truth.”，因此下文最可能展开说明如何在质疑时用理性和证据去检验事实、进行逻辑思考。 C When I was fifteen, my family moved from a noisy city in China to a quiet town in northern England. I could speak English quite well, so I thought fitting in would be easy. But I soon discovered that the hardest part wasn’t the language—it was the silence.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了自己从中国搬到英国后，在一次去同学家做客的经历中，通过礼物赠送方式和餐桌上的沉默，体会到了中英文化的差异，最终理解了另一种礼貌的含义。 【21题详解】 根据第二段倒数第二句“In China, we open gifts immediately to show appreciation. I wondered if she didn’t like it.”，当艾米丽的妈妈没有立刻打开礼物时，作者感到沮丧是“因为在她的文化习惯中，礼物应该立刻打开以示感谢”。 【22题详解】 根据第三段倒数第二句“The silence felt heavy to me, almost uncomfortable.”和最后一段第一句“That afternoon, I began to understand a difference in kind of politeness.”，作者的感受从最初的“不舒服”转变为后来的“理解”。 【23题详解】 根据第四段“The second time, I interrupted Emily’s father right in the middle of his sentence without even realizing it. My face burned when I noticed the patient look he gave me.”，作者脸发烫是“因为她意识到自己打断了对方说话，感到尴尬”。 【24题详解】 根据第五段最后一句“Sometimes it’s just a space where everyone is thinking together.”，沉默不是空的。有时它只是一个大家一起思考的空间。说明对于艾米丽的家人来说，沉默并不是空洞的，而是“一个共享的、有意义的空间”。 【25题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者通过一次做客经历，理解了英国文化中“沉默”的含义，明白了礼貌不仅仅是规则，更是理解他人，包括理解他们的沉默。B项“无声话语的分量”最能体现文章关于“沉默”及其意义的主题。 三、信息还原 根据对话内容和所给句子选项、将对话补充完整，使其通顺达意，选项中有两项为多余选项。（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” These are certainly words that millions of volunteers around the world could agree with. In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to what they care about. ____26____ People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices. ____27____ Take Andrew Makhoul, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, as an example. Andrew didn’t spend his last spring break relaxing. Instead, the 19­-year-­old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself. He travelled to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. ____28____ And it depends on volunteers to stay open. Andrew doesn’t speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn’t a problem, “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university’s website. And what he gave out, he got back, “____29____” Andrew’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he’d be back soon—because he saw love and hope. US author Sherry Anderson once wrote, “____30____” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do—their work is “priceless”． A. It’s a chance for poor children to get better care and support. B. Life will be difficult, but I have the confidence to live a happy, full life. C. For young adults, valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering. D. Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless. E. It is in one of the poorest parts of the country. F. You could see love when you looked in their eyes. G. Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid. 【答案】26. G 27. C 28. E 29. F 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了名言引出志愿者价值，美国设立全国志愿者月致敬志愿者，后文阐释志愿活动意义、举例大学生志愿经历，最后用名言点明志愿工作无价。 【26题详解】 空格前文引出志愿者月、后文介绍志愿者自愿投入热爱之事，需总述志愿工作的定义。G项“Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid.”概括志愿者无偿工作的本质，衔接上下文语境。 【27题详解】 前文讲述志愿活动能结识新人、尝试新技能、探索职业选择，需补充对年轻人的额外收获。C项“For young adults, valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering.”承接上文，递进说明年轻人还能从中收获宝贵人生经验。 【28题详解】 前文介绍安德鲁前往危地马拉一家孤儿院，后文说明孤儿院依靠志愿者维持运营，需补充孤儿院的处境背景。E项“It is in one of the poorest parts of the country.”介绍孤儿院地处该国最贫困地区，为后文依赖志愿者做铺垫。 【29题详解】 前文安德鲁表示用爱沟通、付出也收获了回报，需填写他从孩子们身上感受到的东西。F项“You could see love when you looked in their eyes.”贴合语境，呼应前文的爱与收获。 【30题详解】 后文点明志愿者坚持奉献的原因是工作无价，此处需引用名言总结志愿者不求报酬、价值无价。D项“Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.”与后文“priceless”完美呼应，逻辑契合。 四、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） (A)根据句意和汉语注释，在答卷标有题号的横线上，写出单词的适当形式。 31. Many kind people have ________ (捐赠) books and clothes to children in poor areas. 【答案】donated 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多好心人给贫困地区的孩子们捐赠了书籍和衣物。根据句子结构可知，本句是现在完成时，谓语结构为“have+动词过去分词”，“捐赠”对应的英文动词是donate，此处需要填写它的过去分词形式donated。 32. All the money raised will go to a local ________ (慈善机构) that helps blind orphans. 【答案】charity 【解析】 【详解】句意：所有筹集到的资金都将用于当地一家帮助失明孤儿的慈善机构。“慈善机构”的表达是charity，故填charity。 33. Too much ________ (垃圾) left in public areas will seriously influence our living environment. 【答案】litter 【解析】 【详解】句意：在公共区域留下过多的垃圾将会严重影响我们的生活环境。根据汉语提示此处需要填“垃圾”的英文，且too much后面要跟不可数名词。litter符合题意。 34. Every year, our school ________ (接到) lots of applications from international students. 【答案】receives 【解析】 【详解】句意：每年，我们学校都接到许多来自国际学生的申请。句中“Every year”为一般现在时的时间状语，提示动作是经常性、习惯性的，应用一般现在时。主语“our school”为第三人称单数，动词“receive”需加-s。 35. The ________ (运动员) from different backgrounds trained together despite their different disabilities. 【答案】athletes 【解析】 【详解】句意：来自不同背景的运动员尽管有各自不同的残疾，仍一起训练。句中“from different backgrounds”和“their different disabilities”提示主语应为复数形式，表示多个运动员。“athlete”的复数形式为athletes。 (B)根据句意，在答卷标有题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 36. It is ________ (polite) to talk with food in your mouth. 【答案】impolite 【解析】 【详解】句意：嘴里含着食物说话是不礼貌的。句中“It is + 形容词 + to do sth.”为固定句型，根据生活常识，“嘴里含着食物说话” 是不礼貌的行为，因此需用polite的反义词；polite的否定形式为在词前加前缀im-，故填impolite。 37. His ________ (confident) was greatly shaken after he failed to receive even a silver medal. 【答案】confidence 【解析】 【详解】句意：在他连一枚银牌都未能获得后，他的自信心动摇了。形容词性物主代词His后接名词作主语，形容词confident变为名词confidence。 38. British people behave ________ (different) from Chinese people when accepting praise. 【答案】differently 【解析】 【详解】句意：英国人在接受赞美时的行为方式与中国人不同。different是形容词，此处修饰动词behave，应用副词differently，意为“不同地”。故填differently。 39. Everyone was deeply moved by the ________ (host) warmth and hospitality. 【答案】host’s##hosts’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：每个人都被主人的热情和好客深深打动了。此处修饰名词“warmth and hospitality”，需用名词所有格形式，表示“主人的”。若指单数主人，host的所有格形式为host’s；若指复数主人，host的所有格形式为hosts’。 40. We spent a ________ (peace) morning walking along the lake. 【答案】peaceful 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们沿着湖边散步，度过了一个宁静的早晨。peace“宁静”，是名词，由名词“morning”可知，此处应用形容词作定语，peace的形容词是peaceful“宁静的”。 五、动词填空用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 41. —Where is your father? —He ________ (go) to Beijing on business. He will come back next Monday. 【答案】has gone 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你爸爸在哪里？——他出差去北京了，可能下周一回来。根据“He will come back next Monday.”可知，爸爸现在不在此地，已经去了北京且还没回来，要用现在完成时has gone表示“去了某地还未回来”。 42. I ________ (not realize) the importance, of good manners until I read this article last week. 【答案】didn’t realize 【解析】 【详解】句意：直到上周我读了这篇文章才意识到文明礼仪的重要性。realize“意识到”，是实义动词作谓语，且由“last week”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，所以变为否定句时，需要借助助动词did，后面+not，缩写为didn’t，助动词后面加动词原形，故填didn’t realize。 43. You look exhausted. You had better ________ (not stay) up late tonight. 【答案】not stay 【解析】 【详解】句意：你看起来精疲力竭。今晚最好别熬夜。had better+动词原形，意为“最好不要做某事”，所以，此处应填not stay。 44. It is necessary for us ________ (help) the elderly who live alone in our neighbourhood. 【答案】to help 【解析】 【详解】句意：对我们来说，帮助社区里独居的老人是有必要的。根据句型“It is+形容词+for sb.+to do sth.”表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”，空处需用动词不定式形式。故填to help。 45. When it comes to ________ (protect) our planet, we must remember that actions speak louder than words. 【答案】protecting 【解析】 【详解】 句意：当谈到保护我们的星球时，我们必须记住行动胜于言语。“When it comes to...”为固定句型，意为“当谈到……时”，其中“to”是介词，其后需接名词或动名词形式。因此需要在动词“protect”后加ing变为动名词形式，故填protecting。 46. I didn’t hear the phone ring last night because I ________ (sleep)soundly at that time. 【答案】was sleeping 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨晚我没听到电话铃声，因为当时我正睡得很沉。时间状语“at that time”是过去进行时的典型标志，表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作，结构为“was/were + 现在分词”，主语是I，所以助动词用was，故填was sleeping。 47. —Look at the dark clouds in the sky. —Oh, It seems that it ________ (rain) soon. 【答案】is going to rain##will rain 【解析】 【详解】句意：——看天空中的乌云。——哦，看起来不久就要下雨了。句中“soon”提示即将发生的动作，that后引导的从句是一般将来时，“rain”应用将来时结构“is going to rain”或“will rain”。 48. Our teacher reminds us ________（take）enough water when we go hiking. 【答案】to take 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我们去徒步旅行时，我们的老师提醒我们带足够的水。根据句意，remind sb. to do sth.提醒某人去做某事，所以这里需要填动词不定式，故填to take。 49. Mary, as well as her several friends, ________ (visit) the museum at present. 【答案】is visiting 【解析】 【详解】句意：玛丽和她的几个朋友目前正在参观博物馆。根据“at present”可知，此句用现在进行时结构，根据“Mary, as well as her several friends”可知，谓语动词要与Mary的单复数保持一致，故be动词用is，故填is visiting。 50. The ice on the lake is very thick. It’s safe enough ________ (walk) on it now. 【答案】to walk 【解析】 【详解】句意：湖上的冰很厚。现在已经足够安全在上面行走。本题考查固定句型“it is + adj. + enough + to do sth.”，表示“足够……去做某事”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。此处应使用动词不定式形式to walk。 六、阅读表达阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Mia was a quiet girl. At school, she always sat at the back of the classroom, hoping the teacher would not call her name. It was not because she didn’t know the answers. In fact, she studied hard and got good grades. The real problem was her fear of speaking in front of others. Every time she thought about raising her hand, her heart would beat fast and her face would turn red. The words seemed to get stuck in her throat. This fear followed her for years. She avoided class discussions and never joined any clubs. Her teachers thought she was just shy and would grow out of it. But deep inside, Mia felt unhappy with herself. She wanted to change, but she didn’t know how. One day, her English teacher announced that every student had to give a three-minute speech. When Mia heard this, she felt sick. She spent a whole week worrying about it. But as she prepared, something unexpected happened. Her best friend Lucas offered to help her practise. Every afternoon, they sat in the empty classroom. Lucas listened patiently and gave her advice. He also taught her a simple trick: take three deep breaths before speaking and focus on one kind face in the room. On the day of the speech, Mia’s hands were shaking. But she took three deep breaths, looked at Lucas, and began to speak. To her surprise, her voice came out clear and strong. When she finished, the whole class clapped. That moment changed everything for Mia. From then on, Mia began to raise her hand more often. She joined the school debate club and even entered a speaking competition. She learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision to move forward despite it. 51. What was Mia’s problem at the beginning of the story? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Why did Mia feel unhappy with herself? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What did her English teacher ask every student to do? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. How did Lucas help Mia practise? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. What can you learn from Mia’s story? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51.

He listened patiently and taught her a simple trick./By listening patiently and teaching her a simple trick. 55. Courage means moving forward even when you are afraid. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了性格内向的女孩Mia因害怕在众人面前讲话而困扰，在英语老师布置演讲任务后，好友Lucas帮助她练习，最终她克服恐惧完成演讲，并从此变得勇敢，敢于主动发言、参加辩论和演讲比赛的成长故事，揭示了“勇气不是没有恐惧，而是带着恐惧依然前行”的道理。 【51题详解】 根据第一段“The real problem was her fear of speaking in front of others.”可知，Mia一开始的问题是害怕在众人面前讲话。因此答案是原文中的直接信息。 【52题详解】 根据第二段“She avoided class discussions and never joined any clubs. Her teachers thought she was just shy and would grow out of it. But deep inside, Mia felt unhappy with herself. She wanted to change, but she didn’t know how.”可知，Mia对自己不满意是因为她想改变自己害怕在众人面前讲话的问题，但却不知道怎么做。因此答案是原文中的直接信息。 【53题详解】 根据第三段“One day, her English teacher announced that every student had to give a three-minute speech.”可知，英语老师要求每个学生做一个三分钟的演讲。因此答案是原文中的直接信息。 【54题详解】 根据第三段“Lucas listened patiently and gave her advice. He also taught her a simple trick: take three deep breaths before speaking and focus on one kind face in the room.”可知，Lucas通过耐心倾听、提建议以及教她演讲前深呼吸和专注于房间里一张友善的脸的方法来帮她练习。因此答案是原文中的直接信息。 【55题详解】 根据最后一段“She learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision to move forward despite it.”可知，从Mia的故事中我们能学到勇气不是没有恐惧，而是带着恐惧依然前行的决心。也可从她克服恐惧的过程得出其他合理感悟，比如要勇敢面对恐惧并借助他人帮助克服恐惧等，合理即可。 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 56. 为让即将到来的博物馆之行愉快有序，学生会发起文明参观倡议。请根据下方提示，写一封倡议信，呼吁同学们文明参观。 注意事项： 1.倡议信内容须包含所给要点，倡议行动中请自行补充至少一点，要求语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意； 2.词数在90个左右，演讲稿的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 3.倡议信中不得使用真实的个人及学校信息。 To make our museum trip enjoyable and orderly, we should follow some important rules. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Let’s remember all these manners and be polite visitors during our trip to the museum.
