A. a B. an C. / D. the
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:今年夏天,我打算去中国南部的一个岛屿度假。
a一个(用于辅音音素前);an一个(用于元音音素前);/零冠词;the这/那(特指)。根据“________ island”可知,island是以元音音素开头的单词,且此处表示泛指“一个”,应填an。
2. —Is this your tennis racket?

A. I B. me C. my D. mine
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这是你的网球拍吗?——不,它不是我的。问问汤姆。我想它是他的。
I 主格“我”;me宾格“我”;my形容词性物主代词“我的”;mine名词性物主代词“我的”。根据“No, it’s not ________.”可知,空格后没有名词,需要用名词性物主代词mine来指代"my tennis racket",在句中作表语。
3. —Do you have any tips for me before I go to the dinner party?
—Well, if you don’t know how to behave yourself, just do _______ the people around you do.
A. with B. for C. from D. as

【详解】句意:——在我去参加晚宴之前,你有什么建议吗?——嗯,如果你不知道如何举止得体,就像你周围的人那样做。
with和……一起;for为了;from来自;as像……一样。根据“if you don’t know how to behave yourself”可知,不知道怎么做时就模仿周围人,“do as... do”表示“像……那样做”。

—That’s true. Nothing comes easily in life.
A. value B. reason C. secret D. cost
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——父母总是告诉我们要省钱,因为我们需要理解努力工作的价值。——确实如此,生活中没有什么是容易得来的。

5. —Lucy is quiet and shy in class.
—But she is very ________ in all kinds of volunteer activities after school.
A. active B. weak C. calm D. strict
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:Lucy在课堂上安静害羞,但她在课后的各种志愿活动中很活跃。
active活跃的;weak虚弱的;calm冷静的;strict严格的。active与前文“quiet and shy”形成转折,符合语境。应填active。
6. —I can’t decide which colour shirt to pick.
—How about white? It ________ matches everything!
A. badly B. clearly C. simply D. luckily
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我无法决定选哪种颜色的衬衫。——白色怎么样?它简直搭配一切!
badly糟糕地;clearly清楚地;simply简单地,简直;luckily幸运地。根据“How about white?”可知是在提建议,白色百搭是常识,simply在此处加强语气,意为“简直”,强调白色容易搭配。

A. so B. or C. and D. but
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:对不同习俗持开放态度,否则你永远不会真正理解其他文化。
so所以;or否则;and和;but但是。“Be open to different customs”是祈使句,后半句“you will never truly understand other cultures.”是否定结果,符合“祈使句+or+陈述句”结构,表示“否则,要不然”。应填or。
9. — Where is your father?
— He ________ to Nanjing on business. He will be back in two days.
A. has been B. has gone C. went D. goes
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你爸爸在哪里?——他出差去南京了。他两天后回来。
has gone to 意为“去了某地(未归)”;has been to 意为“去过某地(已归)”。根据问句“Where is your father?”可知父亲不在现场,结合“He will be back in two days.”可知他去了南京还没回来,要用has gone to。
10. Make sure you follow the instructions, or things could ________.
A. get over B. give up C. go wrong D. take back
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:确保你遵循说明,否则事情可能会出错。
get over克服;give up放弃;go wrong出错;take back收回。根据连词“or”可知,后半句表示不遵循说明导致的负面后果。主语是“things”,go wrong表示出错,符合句意逻辑。
11. Mr. Wang often tells us to just do one small thing well ________ 100 things poorly.
A. instead of B. because of C. as well as D. according to
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:王老师经常告诉我们要把一件小事做好,而不是把 100 件事做得糟糕。
instead of而不是;because of因为;as well as也,和;according to根据。根据句意,前后是“把一件小事做好”与“把100件事做得糟糕”的对比选择关系,表示“而不是”,应选用instead of。

A. will pay B. paid C. is paid D. will be paid
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:每个人在未来都会通过我们的努力得到回报,所以别担心。
根据时间状语“in the future”可知句子时态为一般将来时;根据介词“by”可知主语Everyone是动作的承受者,需用被动语态。一般将来时被动语态的结构为“will be + 过去分词”。故填will be paid。
13. Zengzi was a student of Confucius. He once said, “I examine myself three times every day.” This is to tell us ________.
A. how can we correct our mistakes B. why we should respect ourselves
C. what we need to do to become better D. whether we can live a better life
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:曾子是孔子的学生,他曾说“吾日三省吾身”,这句话是为了告诉我们:我们需要做什么来变得更好。
how can we correct our mistakes我们怎样纠正我们的错误,疑问语序;why we should respect ourselves为什么我们要尊重自己;what we need to do to become better我们需要做什么来变得更好;whether we can live a better life我们能否过上更好的生活。根据“He once said, ‘I examine myself three times every day.’ This is to tell us…”可知,本句为宾语从句,应用陈述语序,排除A;B、D均与自省无关。应填what we need to do to become better。

Practice makes perfect熟能生巧;No pain, no gain不劳无获;Many hands make light work众人拾柴火焰高;Actions speak louder than words行动胜于空谈。根据“About 4700 volunteers served at the event”可知,人多力量大,Many hands make light work符合语境。
15. —Excuse me. Can you tell me the time, please?

That’s great太棒了;I think so我也这么认为;Of course当然;Very well很好。问句是请求告知时间,答句后部分给出了具体时间,表明说话人愿意告知。A项通常用于回应好消息;B项用于表达对某事的推测;C项用于肯定回答请求;D项常用于回应建议或健康状况。根据语境,C项符合逻辑。

As soon as I came to the sea shore, I was surprised to see that I had taken up my “home” on the worst side of the island; for here indeed the shore was covered with a number of turtles. while on the other side I had found three in a year and a half.
Here were many kinds of birds, some of which I had seen, and some of which I had not seen before. Many of them were very good meat. I could have shot as many as I pleased, but was very sparing of my powder and shot.
I realized this side of the country was much pleasanter than mine, but yet I had not a plan to move here; for as I was used to my “home”, it became natural to me.
I took another way to come back than that I went, thinking I could easily keep all the island so much in my view that I could not miss finding my first home; but I found I made a mistake. After walking about two or three miles, I found myself into a very large valley. The valley was surrounded with hills, and those hills were covered with wood, so I could not see which was my way by any direction but that of the sun.
Unluckily, the weather proved cloudy for three or four days while I was in this valley; and not being able to see the sun, I walked around very uncomfortably, and at last I had to find out the sea side, look for my post, and come back the same way I went.
In this journey my dog surprised a young goat, and I saved it alive from the dog. I had a great mind to bring it home if I could; for I had often been thinking whether it might not be possible to get and raise a goat or two goats, which might supply me with milk.
—Adapted from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,节选自《鲁滨逊漂流记》,主要讲述了主人公在岛上探索新区域的经历,包括发现岸边有大量海龟、在山谷中迷路、因多云看不见太阳以及救下一只小山羊等事件。
【34题详解】
第二段指出原文“I could have shot as many as I pleased,but was very sparing of my powder and shot”这直接说明鲁滨逊虽然可以尽情射杀鸟类,但对火药和子弹非常节约,因此“sparing”意为“谨慎使用、节约使用”。
【35题详解】
根据全文事件发展顺序:第一段描述在岸边发现大量海龟(b);第三段说明虽觉得新区域更舒适,但决定不搬家(d);第四段讲述走进大山谷迷路(c);第五段说明因天气多云看不见太阳(e);第六段讲述从狗口中救下小山羊(a)。
【36题详解】
第六段指出原文“I had a great mind to bring it home if I could; for I had often been thinking whether it might not be possible to get and raise a goat or two goats, which might supply me with milk”这说明鲁滨逊希望养一两只山羊,以便获取羊奶。
【37题详解】
全文以第一人称叙述了鲁滨逊在岛上新区域的探索经历,涵盖观察环境、迷路、天气影响及救山羊等多个事件,因此文章主旨是“我在岛上新区域的经历”。
C
Built into the walls of a 326-metre-deep sinkhole in Hechi, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a special cliffside bookstore in the Mianhua Sinkhole Scenic Area of Luocheng Mulam Autonomous County opened its doors in May, quickly becoming a new landmark for culture-tourism integration (融合) and gaining worldwide attention by bringing together natural scenery with an unforgettable reading experience. So far, it has welcomed over 100,000 visitors from home and abroad.
Visitors must climb a wooden walkway with more than 1,000 steps which are cut into the cliff (悬崖). This is an exciting “mini trip” before they arrive at this quiet and special place high up.
The founder, He Zhijian, said building the bookstore was very challenging. The sinkhole has steep and rocky cliffs, so special methods were needed to keep the structure safe. However, the sinkhole acts as a natural shelter, protecting the bookstore perfectly from bad weather: no matter how heavy the wind and rain, it never gets wet.
Two years ago, while visiting a famous Japanese bookstore called Tsutaya, he got the idea. Later, he improved the idea after seeing Tsutaya’s store in Hangzhou. The result is an open-air cliffside space with more than 10,000 books. The books line a 10-metre-high and 150-metre-long “canyon of knowledge”.
Wu Taichang, general manager of Guangxi Luocheng Mianhua Tiankeng (meaning sinkhole) Tourism Development Co., said the design breaks traditional bookstore boundaries, joining reading with the great views of karst (喀斯特) landscapes. The company is the area’s developer as well as operator. Wu said the goal is to encourage visitors to do more than just admire the sinkhole’s beauty and leave. “We want them to stay and enjoy its charm as much as possible,” he said. “That’s why we’ve built a cliffside bookstore, cafe, and hotel, along with boardwalks leading straight to the sinkhole’s bottom-letting tourists get close to the ‘heart of the Earth’.”
38. Which of the following is TRUE about the cliffside bookstore?
A. It is known to a few Chinese tourists. B. It gets wet when there is heavy rain.
C. It has over 10,000 books on the cliff. D. It is at the bottom of the sinkhole.
39. Which sentence should go in the empty box in paragraph 2?
A. Reaching the bookstore is an adventure in itself.
B. The bookstore is very easy for tourists to find.
C. Most visitors choose to drive directly to the entrance.
D. People can read books while enjoying the sunset there.
40. Why does the writer mention Tsutaya bookstore in Japan and Hangzhou?
A. To prove that Chinese bookstores are better.
B. To explain how to run a bookstore business.
C. To describe what a good bookstore looks like.
D. To show that He Zhijian got his idea from them.
41. From what Wu Taichang said, we can know _______.
A. the company wants visitors to take photos and then leave
B. visitors are encouraged to stay longer and enjoy the place
C. most visitors do not like the walkway to the bottom
D. the bookstore will be turned into a hotel and a cafe
【答案】38. C 39. A 40. D 41. B
【解析】
【导语】本文核心围绕广西罗城仫佬族自治县棉花天坑景区的悬崖书店展开。
【38题详解】
第四段提到“The result is an open-air cliffside space with more than 10,000 books.”可知,悬崖上有一万多本书。
【39题详解】
第二段空白处后面提到“Visitors must climb a wooden walkway with more than 1,000 steps which are cut into the cliff. This is an exciting ‘mini trip’ before they arrive at this quiet and special place high up.”,强调了到达书店前攀爬栈道的过程像一次冒险。“Reaching the bookstore is an adventure in itself.”符合语境。
【40题详解】
文中第四段提到“Two years ago, while visiting a famous Japanese bookstore called Tsutaya He got the idea. Later, he improved the idea after seeing Tsutaya’s store in Hangzhou.”,表明创始人何志坚从这些书店获得了灵感。
【41题详解】
吴太昌说“The company is the area’s developer as well as operator. Wu said the goal is to encourage visitors to do more than just admire the sinkhole’s beauty and leave. ‘We want them to stay and enjoy its charm as much as possible,’ he said.”,表明游客被鼓励停留更久并享受这个地方。

While teens and young adults usually spend much more time on screens compared to other age groups, psychologists now warn that older adults are also becoming more dependent on phones.
Nancy Ries, a retired teacher, spends five to six hours a day on her phone. “I hate to say it, but that’s true,” she says. She’s part of a growing number of older adults who spend about four hours a day on phones. Addiction Resource.net surveyed 2,000 people between the ages of 59 and 77. Half of them check their phones within an hour of waking up. And 40% feel uncomfortable when they are away from their phones. ①________
“One key sign of being addicted to (上瘾) phones is feeling uncomfortable without a phone,” said Monica Riordan, a professor at Chatham University, who studies computer-based communication. She says phones have become central to our lives—not only for communication and social media but also for things like booking plane tickets and shopping.
“How do I scan and buy things without my phone?” Riordan asks. Phones offer so much freedom, but they can also keep us trapped. ②________ “Older people depend on phones because they often feel lonelier than younger people, who go to work or school and see friends regularly,” she said.
③________ “If it stops you from living a healthy life, then you may have a problem,” Riordan says. In the survey, 50% of older adults had not tried to reduce their screen time while about 30% tried but almost all failed.
④________ Experts recommend limiting phone use to two hours a day for fun. But Ries said her screen opens up the world to her. “I’m happy with what I’m doing. Even if someone tells me, ‘Do you realize that you’re using the phone too much?’ I’ll say, I’m okay with that,” Nancy Ries explained.
42. According to the passage, we can know ________.
A. 1000 people in the survey are addicted to phones
B. loneliness may make elders use phones more often
C. most elders feel sorry for depending on phones too much
D. 600 people in the survey managed to reduce their screen time
43. The sentence “Too much screen time may lead to health problems, such as sadness and worry.” can be put in ________.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
44. Why does the writer mention Nancy Ries twice in the passage?
A. To compare her ideas with those of the professor.
B. To advise other elders to learn from her lifestyle.
C. To serve as an example of elderly phone dependence.
D. To prove retired teachers use phones more than others.
45. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Teens Spend More Time on Screens Than the Old.
B. Phones Offer More Advantages Than Disadvantages.
C. How to Cut Down Screen Time to Two Hours a Day.
D. Older Adults Are Getting More Dependent on Phones.
【答案】42. B 43. C 44. C 45. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了心理学家警告老年人也日益依赖手机的现象,通过调查数据和专家观点分析了老年人手机成瘾的原因、表现及影响,并以Nancy Ries为例展现了不同老年人对手机使用的态度。
【42题详解】
第四段提到:“Older people depend on phones because they often feel lonelier than younger people, who go to work or school and see friends regularly.”,这直接说明孤独感可能使老年人更频繁使用手机。
【43题详解】
句子“Too much screen time may lead to health problems, such as sadness and worry.”应放在③处。第五段提到:“‘If it stops you from living a healthy life, then you may have a problem,’ Riordan says.”,该句承接前文手机带来的“freedom”和“trapped”,引出过度使用手机对健康的影响,与后文“living a healthy life”相呼应。①处主要讲调查数据,②处讲手机的作用和老年人的依赖原因,④处讲专家建议和Nancy Ries的态度,均不符合。
【44题详解】
作者两次提到Nancy Ries是为了作为老年人手机依赖的例子。第二段提到:“Nancy Ries, a retired teacher, spends five to six hours a day on her phone.”,最后一段提到:“But Ries said her screen opens up the world to her. ‘...I’m okay with that.’”,通过她的例子展现老年人对手机的不同态度,而非比较她与教授的观点、建议其他老年人学习她的生活方式或证明退休教师使用手机更多。
【45题详解】
文章主要讲述老年人也日益依赖手机的现象,因此最佳标题是“Older Adults Are Getting More Dependent on Phones”。
四、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分,计10分)
根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上,写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词)
46. It’s very hard for me to make a ________, but I finally left my job. (decide)
【答案】decision
【解析】
【详解】句意:做出决定对我来说很难,但我最终还是辞职了。decide动词,表示决定,转化成名词decision,固定搭配make a decision,故填decision。
47. Follow that ____________ advice and soon you will solve the problem. (teacher)
【答案】teacher’s
【解析】
【详解】句意:听从老师的建议,很快你就会解决这个问题。
根据句意和空后的名词advice“建议”,可知空处用teacher的所属格形式teacher’s“老师的”,故答案为teacher’s。
48. Some scientists still believe the ________ planet exists and try to find it. (nine)
【答案】ninth
【解析】
【详解】句意:一些科学家仍然相信第九颗行星存在,并试图找到它。nine“九”。根据“the...planet”可知,此处应填序数词表示“第九”ninth。故填ninth。
49. Mr. Green has lived in China for years and can speak Chinese _________. (correct)
【答案】
correctly
【解析】
【详解】句意:格林先生在中国住了多年,能说一口正确的中文。修饰动词“speak”,需用副词形式作状语。“correct”的副词形式为“correctly”,意为“正确地”。
50. I _________ awake most of the night because I had too much coffee yesterday evening. (lie)
【答案】
lay
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨晚我大部分时间都醒着躺在床上,因为昨晚喝了太多咖啡。根据句中时间状语“yesterday evening”可知,句子时态为一般过去时;此处的lie表示“躺”,其过去式为lay。
51. Cats and mice have always been considered natural ________ (敌人).
【答案】enemies
【解析】
【详解】句意:猫和老鼠一直被认为是天生的敌人。
“敌人”对应的英文名词是“enemy”,句子主语“Cats and mice”是复数,所以此处需用“enemy”的复数形式“enemies”,故填“enemies”。
52. The cars produced by that company are sold _________ in the USA. (主要地)
【答案】
mainly
【解析】
【详解】句意:这家公司生产的汽车主要在美国售卖。结合汉语提示,“主要地”英文为mainly,副词,修饰动词“sold”,放在其后作状语。
53. Some valuable jewellery in that shop was ________ (偷) last week.
【答案】stolen
【解析】
【详解】句意:那家店里的一些贵重珠宝上周被偷了。偷:steal,主语“Some valuable jewellery”和谓语“steal”之间是被动关系,故此处用过去分词和前面的be动词构成被动语态。故填stolen。
54. The man hopes to provide a more comfortable and ________ (富有的) life for his children.
【答案】richer
【解析】
【详解】句中“富有的”是关键词,表示“富有的”用rich。more comfortable为比较级形式,and连接两个并列形容词,共同修饰life,因此填入的形容词也应用比较级。rich的比较级是richer。
55. Chinese Language Day falls on _________ 20th of every year, the same day as Guyu. (四月)
【答案】
April
【解析】
【详解】句意:世界中文日定于每年四月二十日,与谷雨同一天。结合汉语提示可知,“四月”的英文为April,符合题意。故填April。
五、阅读表达(共5题;每题2分,计10分)
阅读短文,回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个词)
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. In front of us, we can just make out some animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊).
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m attracted by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they were in.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Xizang. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred (神圣的) and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “In fact, we’re trying to save ourselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. They were hunted for their valuable fur. Their living space became smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save this species from disappearing, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks.
The measures worked. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered (濒临绝种的) species list. The government, however, does not plan to stop the protection programmes, since the dangers that the Tibetan antelopes face have not yet disappeared.
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life.
56. Where do Tibetan antelopes live?
________________________________________________________________________________
57. What two dangers did Tibetan antelopes face in the past?
________________________________________________________________________________
58. How did Zhaxi and other volunteers keep Tibetan antelopes safe from attacks?
________________________________________________________________________________
59. Why was the Tibetan antelope removed from the endangered species list in 2015?
________________________________________________________________________________
60. What can we do to protect endangered wildlife like Tibetan antelopes? (请自拟一句话作答)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56.
On the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai.
57.
They were hunted and living space became smaller.
58.
They watched over the antelopes day and night.
59.
Because the antelope population has recovered.
60.
We should change our way of life.
【解析】
【导语】本文通过作者的亲身经历,介绍了藏羚羊的栖息地、过去面临的被捕杀和栖息地减少的危险、政府及志愿者采取的保护措施,以及种群数量恢复的现状,最后呼吁人类改变生活方式以保护自然。
【56题详解】
第二段“Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai.”说明了藏羚羊的居住地,直接提取。
【57题详解】
第四段“They were hunted for their valuable fur. Their living space became smaller as new roads and railways were built.”说明过去藏羚羊面临被猎杀和生存空间缩小两大威胁,答案整合为“They were hunted and living space became smaller.”。
【58题详解】
第五段“Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks.”明确指出志愿者通过日夜守护来保护它们,直接提取。
【59题详解】
第六段“The measures worked. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered (濒临绝种的) species list.”说明藏羚羊种群数量恢复,因此被移出濒危物种名单,答案是原文直接信息。
【60题详解】
开放性试题,答案不唯一,围绕保护理念,合理作答即可。
六、缺词填空(共10空;每空1分,计10分)
根据短文内容和首字母提示,在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上,写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。(每空一词)

【答案】61. started##tarted
62. different##ifferent
63. worn##orn
64. probably##robably
65. All##ll
66. sad##ad
67. myself##yself
68. including##ncluding
69. counting##ounting
70. situations##ituations
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了天生没有双手、佩戴假肢的女孩Sara,通过音乐获得力量,克服他人的顾虑加入行进管乐队,并在音乐中找到自信与归属感。
【61题详解】
句意:“四年级时,我开始学长号。” 结合前文的过去时语境和首字母s,用start的过去式started,表示“开始做某事”。
【62题详解】
句意:“但我身上有一点和别人不同。” 固定搭配different from表示“与……不同”,符合后文“天生没有双手”的语境。
【63题详解】
句意:“从一岁左右起,我就一直戴着假肢。” 现在完成时结构have/has + 过去分词,wear的过去分词是worn,表示“穿戴”。
【64题详解】
句意:“但很可能是因为我的身体和别人不一样。” 副词probably修饰整个句子,表示“很可能”,符合妈妈的推测语气。
【65题详解】
句意:“我想要的一切就是证明我能做到。” All that I wanted表示“我所有想要的东西”,是固定表达。
【66题详解】
句意:“有一次我非常难过,甚至不想下床。” 后文提到音乐让她重新振作,说明此时她情绪低落,用sad表示“难过的”。
【67题详解】
句意:“它帮我对自己说:‘好的,我能撑过今天。’” say to oneself是固定搭配,表示“自言自语、对自己说”。
【68题详解】
句意:“我们都有同样的问题,包括算出每小节有多少拍。” including是介词,表示“包括”,引出例子。
【69题详解】
句意:“我在数节拍上有困难。” 固定搭配have difficulty (in) doing sth.,所以用count的动名词形式counting,表示“数(节拍)”。
【70题详解】
句意:“和乐队在一起时,我不像在其他场合那样觉得自己与众不同。” other situations表示“其他场合/情况”,用复数形式。
七、书面表达(计30分)
A.句子翻译(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
将下列句子译成英语,并将所译句子写在答题卡上标有题号的横线上。
71. 这些月饼是手工做的,很畅销。(汉译英)
_______________________________
【答案】These mooncakes are made by hand and they sell well.
【解析】
【详解】分析题干可知,句子为陈述句,时态为一般现在时;前后句为并列关系,用and连接。these mooncakes“这些月饼”,作主语,位于句首,首字母要大写;make“制作”,动词,主语与make是被动关系,应用被动语态,句子陈述现在的情况,时态为一般现在时,即一般现在时的被动语态,其结构为be done,主语these mooncakes为第三人称复数,be用are,make的过去分词为made;by hand“用手”,介词短语;sell well“很畅销”,主语用they代替these mooncakes,谓语动词用原形。故填These mooncakes are made by hand and they sell well.
72. 我已经花了很多时间和精力准备下周的演讲。
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I have spent a lot of time and energy preparing for next week’s speech.
【解析】
【详解】“我已经花了很多时间和精力准备下周的演讲”译为“I have spent a lot of time and energy preparing for next week’s speech”。其中“花很多时间和精力做某事”用固定搭配“a lot of time and energy doing sth.”,“准备下周的演讲”为prepare for next week’s speech,句子是现在完成时,主语是I,助动词用have。
73. 吸烟不仅对健康有害,还会造成空气污染。
________________________________
【答案】Smoking is not only harmful to your health, but also can cause air pollution.
【解析】
【详解】not only...but also...“不仅……还……”;smoking“吸烟”,is harmful to your health“对健康有害”;can“能,会”,情态动词,后接动词原形;cause air pollution“造成空气污染”。故填Smoking is not only harmful to your health, but also can cause air pollution.
74. 有着美丽的河流和园林,扬州非常值得一游。
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With beautiful rivers and gardens, Yangzhou is well worth visiting.
【解析】
【详解】“有着美丽的河流和园林,扬州非常值得一游。”译为With beautiful rivers and gardens, Yangzhou is well worth visiting.。其中“有着美丽的河流和园林”用介词短语With beautiful rivers and gardens作状语;“扬州”对应Yangzhou,作主语;“非常值得一游”用be well worth visiting,主语为单数,be动词用is。
75. 尽管你对足球赛痴迷,但是你最好不要熬夜看。
____________________________________________________________
【答案】Although/though you are crazy about the football match/matches, you had better not stay up late to watch it/them.
【解析】
【详解】“尽管”Although/though;“你对……痴迷” you are crazy about;“足球赛” the football match/matches;“你最好不要” you had better not;“熬夜” stay up late;“看” watch;本句结合语境,“熬夜看”是目的,所以用“to do”形式表示目的,即“to watch it / them”,其中“it/them”指代“the football match/matches”。故填Although/though you are crazy about the football match/matches, you had better not stay up late to watch it/them.

As soon as I came to the sea shore, I was surprised to see that I had taken up my “home” on the worst side of the island; for here indeed the shore was covered with a number of turtles. while on the other side I had found three in a year and a half.
Here were many kinds of birds, some of which I had seen, and some of which I had not seen before. Many of them were very good meat. I could have shot as many as I pleased, but was very sparing of my powder and shot.
I realized this side of the country was much pleasanter than mine, but yet I had not a plan to move here; for as I was used to my “home”, it became natural to me.
I took another way to come back than that I went, thinking I could easily keep all the island so much in my view that I could not miss finding my first home; but I found I made a mistake. After walking about two or three miles, I found myself into a very large valley. The valley was surrounded with hills, and those hills were covered with wood, so I could not see which was my way by any direction but that of the sun.
Unluckily, the weather proved cloudy for three or four days while I was in this valley; and not being able to see the sun, I walked around very uncomfortably, and at last I had to find out the sea side, look for my post, and come back the same way I went.
In this journey my dog surprised a young goat, and I saved it alive from the dog. I had a great mind to bring it home if I could; for I had often been thinking whether it might not be possible to get and raise a goat or two goats, which might supply me with milk.
—Adapted from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe

Built into the walls of a 326-metre-deep sinkhole in Hechi, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a special cliffside bookstore in the Mianhua Sinkhole Scenic Area of Luocheng Mulam Autonomous County opened its doors in May, quickly becoming a new landmark for culture-tourism integration (融合) and gaining worldwide attention by bringing together natural scenery with an unforgettable reading experience. So far, it has welcomed over 100,000 visitors from home and abroad.
Visitors must climb a wooden walkway with more than 1,000 steps which are cut into the cliff (悬崖). This is an exciting “mini trip” before they arrive at this quiet and special place high up.
The founder, He Zhijian, said building the bookstore was very challenging. The sinkhole has steep and rocky cliffs, so special methods were needed to keep the structure safe. However, the sinkhole acts as a natural shelter, protecting the bookstore perfectly from bad weather: no matter how heavy the wind and rain, it never gets wet.
Two years ago, while visiting a famous Japanese bookstore called Tsutaya, he got the idea. Later, he improved the idea after seeing Tsutaya’s store in Hangzhou. The result is an open-air cliffside space with more than 10,000 books. The books line a 10-metre-high and 150-metre-long “canyon of knowledge”.
Wu Taichang, general manager of Guangxi Luocheng Mianhua Tiankeng (meaning sinkhole) Tourism Development Co., said the design breaks traditional bookstore boundaries, joining reading with the great views of karst (喀斯特) landscapes. The company is the area’s developer as well as operator. Wu said the goal is to encourage visitors to do more than just admire the sinkhole’s beauty and leave. “We want them to stay and enjoy its charm as much as possible,” he said. “That’s why we’ve built a cliffside bookstore, cafe, and hotel, along with boardwalks leading straight to the sinkhole’s bottom-letting tourists get close to the ‘heart of the Earth’.”
38. Which of the following is TRUE about the cliffside bookstore?
A. It is known to a few Chinese tourists. B. It gets wet when there is heavy rain.
C. It has over 10,000 books on the cliff. D. It is at the bottom of the sinkhole.
39. Which sentence should go in the empty box in paragraph 2?
A. Reaching the bookstore is an adventure in itself.
B. The bookstore is very easy for tourists to find.
C. Most visitors choose to drive directly to the entrance.
D. People can read books while enjoying the sunset there.
40. Why does the writer mention Tsutaya bookstore in Japan and Hangzhou?
A. To prove that Chinese bookstores are better.
B. To explain how to run a bookstore business.
C. To describe what a good bookstore looks like.
D. To show that He Zhijian got his idea from them.
41. From what Wu Taichang said, we can know _______.
A. the company wants visitors to take photos and then leave
B. visitors are encouraged to stay longer and enjoy the place
C. most visitors do not like the walkway to the bottom
D. the bookstore will be turned into a hotel and a cafe

While teens and young adults usually spend much more time on screens compared to other age groups, psychologists now warn that older adults are also becoming more dependent on phones.
Nancy Ries, a retired teacher, spends five to six hours a day on her phone. “I hate to say it, but that’s true,” she says. She’s part of a growing number of older adults who spend about four hours a day on phones. Addiction Resource.net surveyed 2,000 people between the ages of 59 and 77. Half of them check their phones within an hour of waking up. And 40% feel uncomfortable when they are away from their phones. ①________
“One key sign of being addicted to (上瘾) phones is feeling uncomfortable without a phone,” said Monica Riordan, a professor at Chatham University, who studies computer-based communication. She says phones have become central to our lives—not only for communication and social media but also for things like booking plane tickets and shopping.
“How do I scan and buy things without my phone?” Riordan asks. Phones offer so much freedom, but they can also keep us trapped. ②________ “Older people depend on phones because they often feel lonelier than younger people, who go to work or school and see friends regularly,” she said.
③________ “If it stops you from living a healthy life, then you may have a problem,” Riordan says. In the survey, 50% of older adults had not tried to reduce their screen time while about 30% tried but almost all failed.
④________ Experts recommend limiting phone use to two hours a day for fun. But Ries said her screen opens up the world to her. “I’m happy with what I’m doing. Even if someone tells me, ‘Do you realize that you’re using the phone too much?’ I’ll say, I’m okay with that,” Nancy Ries explained.
42. According to the passage, we can know ________.
A. 1000 people in the survey are addicted to phones
B. loneliness may make elders use phones more often
C. most elders feel sorry for depending on phones too much
D. 600 people in the survey managed to reduce their screen time
43. The sentence “Too much screen time may lead to health problems, such as sadness and worry.” can be put in ________.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
44. Why does the writer mention Nancy Ries twice in the passage?
A. To compare her ideas with those of the professor.
B. To advise other elders to learn from her lifestyle.
C. To serve as an example of elderly phone dependence.
D. To prove retired teachers use phones more than others.
45. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Teens Spend More Time on Screens Than the Old.
B. Phones Offer More Advantages Than Disadvantages.
C. How to Cut Down Screen Time to Two Hours a Day.
D. Older Adults Are Getting More Dependent on Phones.

The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. In front of us, we can just make out some animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊).
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m attracted by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they were in.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Xizang. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred (神圣的) and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “In fact, we’re trying to save ourselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. They were hunted for their valuable fur. Their living space became smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save this species from disappearing, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks.
The measures worked. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered (濒临绝种的) species list. The government, however, does not plan to stop the protection programmes, since the dangers that the Tibetan antelopes face have not yet disappeared.
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life.
56. Where do Tibetan antelopes live?
