What Is Plastic Pollution? C. How Is Plastic Prevented? D. What Is Plastic Protection? 18. How many ways does the passage tell us to deal with plastic pollution? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 19. When it comes to “Reuse”, what is a good way to prevent plastic pollution? A. Say no to plastic straws. B. Separate plastic into groups. C. Use less plastic products. D.

We can reuse water bottles instead of buying new ones. D. There is no special sign on plastic products. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. B 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一份环保宣传海报（应用文），主要介绍了塑料污染的形成过程以及个人可以采取的措施。 【16题详解】 由“What You Can Do”部分“Talk to your parents or school teachers about how to use less plastic”可知，倡导和父母或学校老师交流如何少用塑料，所以该海报最可能是针对学校学生的。 【17题详解】 根据海报内容可知，海报主要描述了塑料污染的成因和危害，因此应填入“What Is Plastic Pollution? （什么是塑料污染？）”作为该部分的标题。 【18题详解】 由“What You Can Do”部分列出了三个小标题：Reduce、Reuse、Recycle，共三种处理塑料污染的方法。 【19题详解】 由“Reuse”部分“Carry fabric bags, not plastic bags, for shopping”可知，使用布袋代替塑料袋去购物是“再利用”的一种很好的减少塑料污染的方式。 【20题详解】 由“Reuse”部分“Refill and reuse water bottles instead of buying new ones”可知，我们可以重复使用水瓶而不是购买新的，因此C项正确。由“Recycle”部分“instead of throwing plastic away with other rubbish”可知，我们应该把塑料和其他垃圾分类，而不是一起扔掉，因此A项与原文相反，错误；由“Reduce”部分“Talk to your parents or school teachers about how to use less plastic”可知，我们应该和父母谈论如何减少塑料使用，因此B项与原文相反；由“Recycle”部分“Look out for the special recycling sign on plastic”可知，塑料制品上有特殊的回收标志，因此D项与原文相反，错误。 B The 2026 London World Table Tennis Championships gathered the world’s best players. It showed Sun Yingsha’s excellent performance, a talented young Chinese player who showed the spirit of Chinese table tennis with her great perseverance and good sportsmanship.

She never gave up even when falling behind in matches”，后文提到她比赛落后时也从不放弃，由此可推测“perseverance”指面对困难时持续努力、坚持不懈的品质。 【22题详解】 第二段依次描述了孙颖莎在小组赛、淘汰赛和决赛中的表现，虽然遇到困难但都取得了胜利。选项A“Sun Yingsha’s perfect performance in different stages of the championships”最能概括本段内容。 【23题详解】 根据锦标赛流程和文中描述：②对应第二段第二句“Trailing 4-9 against a Romanian player, she stayed calm, adjusted her skills and won”小组赛落后反超发生在最先；③对应第二段第三句“In knockout matches, she fought hard to beat South Korea’s Kim Na-young after a 1-2 deficit”淘汰赛落后反超发生在小组赛后；①对应第三段第二句“At the final’s key point against Japan’s Hayata Hina, she told the referee her opponent’s ball hit the table edge”决赛关键分诚实示意发生在决赛过程中；④对应第二段第四句“In the final against Japan, she beat two top players and helped her team keep the Corbillon Cup”帮助球队捧杯是决赛最终结果。按照时间逻辑，正确顺序为②③①④。 【24题详解】 第三段首句“Besides her skills, Sun’s good sportsmanship impressed people.”该句直接点明本段介绍孙颖莎良好的体育风范。 【25题详解】 第四段第三句“Sun carries on this spirit and sets a good example.”可推断出孙颖莎的行为为年轻运动员树立了好榜样。 C It is not true that robots have taken over our lives so far, but they are doing more and more of our daily household chores. A study finds that one tenth of homes already own a robot vacuum cleaner and one seventh of homes plan to buy one this year, meaning they are likely to be the most popular technology of 2025. Aviva’s new “How We Live” report shows that robot vacuum cleaners are the most popular among people aged 25 to 34. Almost one fifth of them already have one. And another one quarter of them plan to buy one in the next 12 months. Robot vacuum cleaners have become much better in recent years. Early models cleaned in fixed patterns (固定模式), so they often missed some spots. But the newest ones use lasers and cameras. They can map out the rooms and know where they are, so they clean more completely. Last year, people in Britain spent over £300 million on robot grass cutters. As new technology makes these robot grass cutters work better, the market is expected to grow more than double in the next five years. The report shows that British families love new technology, especially when it saves them even a little time or makes things easier and faster to finish. Wireless charging stations (无线充电站), for example, are the most popular new technology. New safety technologies are also more needed. The report notes that almost one third of homes have now fixed smart doorbells and smart safety cameras. These systems are linked to their owners’ phones, allowing them to see who is at their doors. Hannah Davidson, of Aviva, said, “Robotics and smart homes are changing the way we live,offering convenience and safety like never before.” 26. Which thing in the following pictures is a robot vacuum cleaner? A. B. C. D. 27. Why do the British families show a love of new technology? A. Because of its quietness. B. Because of its new pattern. C. Because of its clean energy. D. Because of its convenience. 28. Which writing method is mainly used in the passage? A. Using specific examples to explain ideas. B. Telling a story to introduce a topic. C. Only using numbers to show the popularity of new technology. D. Asking questions to attract readers. 29. What would the writer write about after the last paragraph? A. When robotics will take over. B. Why robotics develops rapidly. C. What robotics can finally achieve. D. How robotics changes our lifestyle. 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. Robot Vacuum Cleaners and Grass Cutters B. Popular New Technologies in British Homes C. How to Use Smart Home Products D. The History of Robotics Technology 【答案】26. A 27. D 28. A 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国家庭中新兴科技产品的普及情况，包括机器人吸尘器、机器人割草机、无线充电站、智能门铃和安全摄像头等，并引用研究报告说明了它们带来的便利和安全。 【26题详解】 根据常识及文中描述，机器人吸尘器是用于清扫地面的圆形或圆盘状设备，图中A选项符合这一特征。 【27题详解】 由第四段“British families love new technology, especially when it saves them even a little time or makes things easier and faster to finish”可知，英国家庭喜爱新技术是因为它带来的便利性。 【28题详解】 文中列举了机器人吸尘器、机器人割草机、无线充电站、智能门铃等多种具体产品来阐述观点，因此主要使用了“列举具体例子来说明观点”的写作方法。 【29题详解】 最后一段引用专家的话说明机器人和智能家居正在改变我们的生活方式，带来便利和安全。接下来最可能进一步阐述“机器人如何改变我们的生活方式”。 【30题详解】 全文围绕英国家庭中流行的新兴科技产品展开，介绍了它们的普及情况和受欢迎原因，因此最佳标题为“Popular New Technologies in British Homes”。 四、信息还原 (10) Making Resolutions Resolutions are often thought to be one of the most important guides everyone needs. Do you know what a resolution is? ____31____ People make resolutions to improve their life. The most common kind is a New Year’s resolution. After all, the start of the year is often a perfect time for making resolutions. ____32____ Some are about physical health. For example, some people may promise to exercise more or eat more healthily. Some resolutions have to do with learning new things. People might decide they are going to take up a hobby, like painting or photography. And some resolutions have to do with self-improvement, like becoming more confident or organized. ____33____ Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common: People hardly ever keep them! But there are good reasons for this. ____34____ And sometimes people just forget about them. To make your resolutions work, you need to plan them wisely. Make sure your resolution is possible to achieve. Don’t set a goal that is too difficult or too much for you. Try to set mini-goals to help you achieve your resolution. And if you don’t want to forget your resolutions, write them down. Also, talk about them with your family and friends. ____35____ So what resolutions are you going to make? How are you going to keep them? A. Resolutions can be about almost anything. B. Encourage them to remind you of your goals. C. A resolution is a promise that you make to yourself. D. This is why sticking to them can be a real challenge. E. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. F. For example, a student may decide to start a new study plan. G. New Year’s resolutions are popular around the world. 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. F 34. E 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了什么是决心、决心的常见类型、人们难以坚持决心的原因以及如何制定有效的决心。 【31题详解】 前文问“你知道什么是决心吗？”，后文说“人们制定决心是为了改善生活”。此处应给出决心的定义。选项C“A resolution is a promise that you make to yourself.”直接回答了前面的问题，与后文逻辑连贯。 【32题详解】 此处为段落首句，后文列举了决心与身体健康、学习新事物、自我提升等不同方面有关。选项A“Resolutions can be about almost anything.”总领后文，概括了决心的广泛性。 【33题详解】 前文说“有些决心与学习新事物有关”，此处应举例说明“学习新事物”的这类决心。选项F“For example, a student may decide to start a new study plan.”是对“学习新事物”的具体举例，与上文衔接自然。 【34题详解】 前文说人们几乎从不坚持决心，并说“这是有原因的”，后文列举了原因（决心太难、人们忘记）。选项E“Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.”与后文“有时候人们只是忘记了”并列，共同解释为什么难以坚持决心。 【35题详解】 前文建议与家人朋友谈论自己的决心，后文问“那么你打算制定什么决心？”。此处应说明这样做的目的——让他们提醒你。选项B“Encourage them to remind you of your goals.”与上文“talk about them with your family and friends”衔接自然，逻辑合理。 五、任务型阅读 (15) The world’s oldest musical instruments are more than 40,000 years old. For thousands of years, humans have been making music for pleasure and to express themselves. Recently, there has been a rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create music. AImakes music by analyzing (分析) many different songs, learning patterns and details, and then mixing pieces together in creative ways. Some AI music has become so popular that it has been shared widely online. However, some people think using AI to create music isn’t truly original (原创的) or creative because it makes songs out of old music. What do you think? Is AI bad for creativity? Yes—AI music isn’t creative. Using AI might be cheaper than paying a musician. If companies can use AI to produce popular music that makes lots of money from people buying and listening to it, it could put musicians out of work. If musicians can’t earn money from music, there will be far fewer of them creating new songs. Anyway, listening to music that was made by a computer isn’t the same experience as listening to human-made music. When musicians create songs, they put real feelings and experiences into their work, which builds a deep connection with listeners through their music. Music produced by AI isn’t truly original, as it simply takes pieces from songs that have already been published. Therefore, it cannot be considered creative. No—AI can help spark (激发) new ideas. When people turn on their radio or headphones and a great new song comes on, it makes them feel good. A catchy tune (曲调) brings people together to sing and dance. If people are enjoying music, who cares whether it was made by a human or a machine? Music makers already use computers, which help to perfect sound and mix different parts of a song. Like computers, AI can also help spark ideas. It won’t replace (取代) musicians but they can work with it. Building on music created by AI could save time. It could allow lots more music to be produced and it could lead to new and special styles of music. AI could create exciting tunes that humans could never have dreamed of. Is AI bad for new music? Background Humans have a long ____36____ of creating music for fun and self-expression. But now, a growing ____37____ of people use AI to create music. It has caused a hot ____38____among people about creativity. People who are for it AI music isn’t creative. ●AI costs ____39____ than hiring (雇佣) a musician, so it could take work from real musicians. ●AI music seldom shares real feelings and experiences, so it’s harder for it to ____40____ with listeners than human music does. ●AI music ____41____ takes pieces from old songs, which may stop it from being creative. People who are ____42____ it AI can help spark new ideas. Whether the music is created by humans or AI doesn’t ____43____ if people enjoy it. AI can be ____44____ as a helper to spark new ideas. AI pushes music ____45____ human limits (限制) and opens up new ideas. 【答案】36. history 37. number 38. debate 39. less 40. connect 41. simply 42. against 43. matter 44. used 45. beyond 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了人工智能在音乐创作中的应用及其引发的关于创造力的争议，分别列举了反对和支持AI创作音乐的观点。 【36题详解】 根据文章第一段第二句“For thousands of years, humans have been making music for pleasure and to express themselves.”可推知，人类创作音乐有很长的历史。应填history。 【37题详解】 根据文章第二段第一句“Recently, there has been a rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create music.”可推知，越来越多的人使用AI，即a growing number of people。应填number。 【38题详解】 根据文章第三段第二、三句“What do you think? Is AI bad for creativity?”以及下文的“Yes”和“No”两种观点可推知，这在人们中间引起了热烈的辩论。应填debate。 【39题详解】 根据文章第四段第一句“Using AI might be cheaper than paying a musician.”可推知，AI 花费更少。此处谓语动词为costs，应用less修饰，而非cheaper。 【40题详解】 根据文章第四段第五句“When musicians create songs, they put real feelings and experiences into their work, which builds a deep connection with listeners through their music.”可推知，AI音乐更难与听众建立联系。to后接动词原形，connection的动词形式为connect。 【41题详解】 根据文章第四段倒数第二句“Music produced by AI isn’t truly original, as it simply takes pieces from songs that have already been published.”可推知，AI音乐简单地取材于旧歌曲。应填simply。 【42题详解】 前文“People who are for it”表示支持AI创作音乐的人，此处对应反对AI创作音乐的人，与for对应的是against。 【43题详解】 根据文章第五段第三句“If people are enjoying music, who cares whether it was made by a human or a machine?”可推知，谁做的并不重要。doesn’t后接动词原形，who cares等同于doesn’t matter。应填matter。 【44题详解】 根据文章第五段第五句“Like computers, AI can also help spark ideas.”可推知，AI可以被当作助手来使用。被动语态be后接过去分词。应填used。 【45题详解】 根据文章第五段最后一句“AI could create exciting tunes that humans could never have dreamed of.”可推知，AI推动音乐超越了人类的限制。应填beyond。 六、选词填空 (10) in case; compete; raise; smooth; carry on with; hold; benefit; suffer from; able; necessary Charity is a kind act that brings warmth to people in need.

Orbis培训当地医护人员的方式 (一句) _____________________________________________ 【答案】 Local doctors and nurses are invited on board to learn about eye operations. 【解析】 【详解】由题干可知，需要用一个英文句子概括Orbis组织培训当地医护人员的具体方式。“Local doctors and nurses are invited on board to learn about eye operations.”是课文原句，该句使用一般现在时的被动语态“are invited”，表示“被邀请”这一客观事实，主语“Local doctors and nurses”是动作的接受者，介词短语“on board”指在Orbis的飞行医院（飞机）上，“to learn about eye operations”为不定式作目的状语，说明邀请上机的目的是学习眼科手术。整句清晰、简洁地说明了Orbis通过将当地医护人员邀请至飞行医院进行手术观摩与学习的方式来实现培训目标。 67. 残疾人参加残奥会的意义 (两句；用英文回答) _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ 【答案】 ①It shows their courage and strong will. ②It inspires us to face difficulties bravely. 【解析】 【详解】开放性试题，答案符合题意且言之有理即可。 第①句：本句主语It指代“残疾人参加残奥会”这件事，shows（show的第三人称单数形式）作谓语，宾语是“their courage and strong will”，意为“它展现了他们的勇气与坚强意志”，从运动员自身角度体现了残奥会的意义。 第②句：本句主语It指代“残疾人参加残奥会”这件事，inspires（inspire的第三人称单数形式）作谓语，使用固定搭配“inspire sb to do sth”，意为“它激励我们勇敢面对困难”，从社会影响角度体现了残奥会的意义。 68. 好的餐桌礼仪 (两句) _____________________________________________ 【答案】 When eating with elders, we should wait for them to start first. We shouldn’t point at others with chopsticks. 【解析】 【详解】由题干要求可知，此处需写出两句与良好的餐桌礼仪相关的英文句子。第一句“When eating with elders, we should wait for them to start first.”中使用“should”表示建议，指出与长辈共餐时应等他们先动筷子再开始吃，体现了尊敬长辈的文化传统，句型“When eating with elders”为时间状语从句的省略形式，主语“we”与动词“wait”之间为主动关系，表达简洁自然。第二句“We shouldn’t point at others with chopsticks.”中使用“shouldn’t”表示禁止或强烈建议不要做某事，“point at others with chopsticks”指用筷子指别人，这在许多使用筷子的文化中被视为极其不礼貌的行为。 九、句型转换 (5) 69. He is sure that he can win the writing competition because he is good at it. He has ________ winning the writing competition because of his good writing ability. 【答案】 confidence in 【解析】 【详解】句意：他确信他能赢得写作比赛，因为他擅长写作。原句中的be sure that“确信”需要转换为“have...doing sth.”的结构。表达“确信、有信心”的名词是confidence。常用搭配have confidence in doing sth.意为“对做某事有信心”，与原句含义相符，且空白处需填入介词in以连接后面的winning。故填confidence in。 70. They didn’t have enough money for such an expensive operation. They couldn’t ________ such an expensive operation. 【答案】 afford 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们没有足够的钱承担如此昂贵的手术费用。原句didn’t have enough money for表示“没有足够的钱做某事”，时态是一般过去时，同义句可用couldn’t afford，意为“负担不起”，后接名词或代词，afford表示“（有经济能力）负担得起”。 71. Comfortable and relaxed, he seemed to be in his hometown, though he was in a new city. He ________ in the new city. 【答案】 felt at home 【解析】 【详解】句意：他舒适放松，似乎在自己的家乡，尽管他身处一座新城市。原句含义是他在新城市里感觉像在自己家一样自在。固定搭配feel at home表达“感觉像在家一样舒适自在”。原句中的谓语动词seemed和was均为一般过去时，此处的动词feel也需变为过去式felt。故填felt at home。 72. It will be difficult for you to make friends if you never do as you said. You can’t make friends easily ________ you ________. 【答案】 ①. unless ②. keep your word 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你从不言行一致，交朋友对你来说将很难”。同义句需表达“除非你信守承诺，否则你无法轻易交到朋友”。unless意为 “除非”，引导条件状语从句，逻辑上等价于if...not，契合本句语境；“do as you said”可以用固定短语“keep your word”替换；unless引导的条件状语从句遵循主将从现原则，主语为you，谓语动词使用原形keep。 十、书面表达 (25) 73. 你校学生会打算举办一个慈善活动 (如慈善义卖，募捐等)，来帮助身边困难的同学。请你以学生会主席 Li Hua的身份写一封倡议信。信中写清活动的具体安排 (如时间地点目的邀请对象等)，活动过程中的礼仪要求，活动的意义等，并提出你的希望。 要求： 按照提示要点写，可适当发挥。 2.书写规范，卷面整洁，100词左右，开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数。 3.文中不得出现真实姓名班级等。 Dear teachers and students, I’m Li Hua, the chairman of the Students’ Union. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you!

She never gave up even when falling behind in matches, and this quality helped her win one game after another. As an important team member, Sun carried the nation’s hopes and faced every match bravely, proving constant effort brings success. In group matches, Sun met skilled foreign players but never feared. Trailing 4-9 against a Romanian player, she stayed calm, adjusted her skills and won. In knockout matches (淘汰赛), she fought hard to beat South Korea’s Kim Na-young after a 1-2 deficit.

C It is not true that robots have taken over our lives so far, but they are doing more and more of our daily household chores. A study finds that one tenth of homes already own a robot vacuum cleaner and one seventh of homes plan to buy one this year, meaning they are likely to be the most popular technology of 2025. Aviva’s new “How We Live” report shows that robot vacuum cleaners are the most popular among people aged 25 to 34. Almost one fifth of them already have one. And another one quarter of them plan to buy one in the next 12 months. Robot vacuum cleaners have become much better in recent years. Early models cleaned in fixed patterns (固定模式), so they often missed some spots. But the newest ones use lasers and cameras. They can map out the rooms and know where they are, so they clean more completely. Last year, people in Britain spent over £300 million on robot grass cutters. As new technology makes these robot grass cutters work better, the market is expected to grow more than double in the next five years. The report shows that British families love new technology, especially when it saves them even a little time or makes things easier and faster to finish. Wireless charging stations (无线充电站), for example, are the most popular new technology. New safety technologies are also more needed. The report notes that almost one third of homes have now fixed smart doorbells and smart safety cameras. These systems are linked to their owners’ phones, allowing them to see who is at their doors. Hannah Davidson, of Aviva, said, “Robotics and smart homes are changing the way we live,offering convenience and safety like never before.” 26. Which thing in the following pictures is a robot vacuum cleaner? A. B. C. D. 27. Why do the British families show a love of new technology? A. Because of its quietness. B. Because of its new pattern. C. Because of its clean energy. D. Because of its convenience. 28. Which writing method is mainly used in the passage? A. Using specific examples to explain ideas. B. Telling a story to introduce a topic. C. Only using numbers to show the popularity of new technology. D. Asking questions to attract readers. 29. What would the writer write about after the last paragraph? A. When robotics will take over. B. Why robotics develops rapidly. C. What robotics can finally achieve. D. How robotics changes our lifestyle. 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. Robot Vacuum Cleaners and Grass Cutters B. Popular New Technologies in British Homes C. How to Use Smart Home Products D. The History of Robotics Technology 四、信息还原 (10) Making Resolutions Resolutions are often thought to be one of the most important guides everyone needs. Do you know what a resolution is? ____31____ People make resolutions to improve their life. The most common kind is a New Year’s resolution. After all, the start of the year is often a perfect time for making resolutions. ____32____ Some are about physical health.

For thousands of years, humans have been making music for pleasure and to express themselves. Recently, there has been a rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create music. AImakes music by analyzing (分析) many different songs, learning patterns and details, and then mixing pieces together in creative ways. Some AI music has become so popular that it has been shared widely online. However, some people think using AI to create music isn’t truly original (原创的) or creative because it makes songs out of old music. What do you think? Is AI bad for creativity? Yes—AI music isn’t creative. Using AI might be cheaper than paying a musician. If companies can use AI to produce popular music that makes lots of money from people buying and listening to it, it could put musicians out of work. If musicians can’t earn money from music, there will be far fewer of them creating new songs. Anyway, listening to music that was made by a computer isn’t the same experience as listening to human-made music. When musicians create songs, they put real feelings and experiences into their work, which builds a deep connection with listeners through their music. Music produced by AI isn’t truly original, as it simply takes pieces from songs that have already been published. Therefore, it cannot be considered creative. No—AI can help spark (激发) new ideas. When people turn on their radio or headphones and a great new song comes on, it makes them feel good. A catchy tune (曲调) brings people together to sing and dance. If people are enjoying music, who cares whether it was made by a human or a machine? Music makers already use computers, which help to perfect sound and mix different parts of a song. Like computers, AI can also help spark ideas. It won’t replace (取代) musicians but they can work with it. Building on music created by AI could save time. It could allow lots more music to be produced and it could lead to new and special styles of music. AI could create exciting tunes that humans could never have dreamed of. Is AI bad for new music? Background Humans have a long ____36____ of creating music for fun and self-expression. But now, a growing ____37____ of people use AI to create music. It has caused a hot ____38____among people about creativity. People who are for it AI music isn’t creative. ●AI costs ____39____ than hiring (雇佣) a musician, so it could take work from real musicians. ●AI music seldom shares real feelings and experiences, so it’s harder for it to ____40____ with listeners than human music does. ●AI music ____41____ takes pieces from old songs, which may stop it from being creative. People who are ____42____ it AI can help spark new ideas. Whether the music is created by humans or AI doesn’t ____43____ if people enjoy it. AI can be ____44____ as a helper to spark new ideas. AI pushes music ____45____ human limits (限制) and opens up new ideas. 六、选词填空 (10) in case; compete; raise; smooth; carry on with; hold; benefit; suffer from; able; necessary Charity is a kind act that brings warmth to people in need.
