Unless 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：生活就像爬山。虽然你会感到疲惫，但你会在山顶欣赏到美丽的风景。 Since自从/既然；If如果；Though虽然；Unless除非。分析句子逻辑，前句“感到疲惫”与后句“欣赏美景”构成让步关系，表示尽管累却依然能收获风景，符合Though的用法。 4. —A Chinese brand called ZXMOTO surprised the world in 2026. —Exactly.

It makes our lives easier but also causes some problems. A. Rome was not built in a day B. every coin has two sides C. it never rains but it pours D. the grass is always greener on the other side 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你认为人工智能技术的快速发展怎么样？——正如谚语所说，事物都有两面性。它使我们的生活更便利但也引起一些问题。 Rome was not built in a day强调成功需要积累；every coin has two sides指事物都有两面性；it never rains but it pours指祸不单行；the grass is always greener on the other side指这山望着那山高。根据答语后句“It makes our lives easier but also causes some problems”可知，人工智能技术既带来便利也带来问题，说明事物有利有弊。 6. —Miss Li often tells us to pay more attention to our traditional Chinese culture. —Yes.

So plenty of hard efforts must be ________ improving education all the time. A. turned into B. taken on C. put into D. given away 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——众所周知，高质量的教育对一个国家的发展至关重要。——当然。所以必须始终将大量的艰苦努力投入到改善教育中。 turned into变成；taken on承担；put into投入；given away赠送。根据“plenty of hard efforts”（大量的艰苦努力）和“improving education”（改善教育）可知，此处表达将努力“投入”到某事中。put into 符合此意，常构成put efforts into搭配，意为“把努力投入到……”。句中是被动语态结构must be put into。 8.

A friend tells me that QinHu National Wetland Park is a beautiful park. 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：下列哪个句子有定语从句？ 选项A中“that is not suitable for all ages”修饰先行词film，是定语从句；选项B中“how we can get to Art Center”作tell的宾语，是宾语从句；选项C中“so hard that…”引导结果状语从句；选项D中“that QinHu National Wetland Park is a beautiful park”作tells的宾语，是宾语从句。所以A项含有定语从句。 二、完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读短文，从每题所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。 Dreaming of being an inventor, Edith took part in the competition.

I walked in around 11:00 a.m. and was seated right away. By the time I left, there was a line. I don’t believe there are really any meals worth a 2-3-hour wait. Peking roast duck, of course, was delicious! So glad I came here and it didn’t disappoint me! Good but Not Worth the Wait We went to this restaurant twice, but the wait was over 2 hours. The third time, we really wanted to try it. Get there early to avoid the long wait (we arrived at 4:00 p.m.). The price is very reasonable for a whole duck considering how good the quality is. Highly recommended visiting Minfu if you want to have a memorable roast duck experience. Best Roast Duck Ever The roast duck here is the best I have ever had. Several of the other dishes were also excellent, for example, the eggplant rolls. The restaurant was also very helpful in looking for my hat which I left there. But the wait in line is very long (almost 4 hours for us). Finally, the cost was not expensive for such a high quality meal. 26. According to the text, what percent of the customers think the restaurant is excellent? A. About 10%. B. About 25%. C. About 30%. D. About 60%. 27.

They walked near rocket launch towers and command centers, listening to experts explain how rockets work. The students even touched rocket models and tried simulated launch operations. “I never thought I could stand so close to a real launch tower,” said one excited student. “It makes me want to become an astronaut.” ② The events included seven main activities: flag-raising ceremonies, space open days, science lectures, exhibitions, intellectual property discussions, painting activities, and light shows. ③ China’s space program has made remarkable progress over the past seventy years. From launching its first satellite in 1970 to building the Tiangong Space Station, China has turned many dreams into reality. ④ The Space Day celebrations remind young people that the future of space exploration lies in their hands. 31. According to the passage, the main purpose of China’s Space Day celebrations is ________. A. to show off China’s most advanced rockets B. to attract more tourists to Hainan C. to train new astronauts for the space station D. to remind young people to hold the future of space exploration 32.

C 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了2026年中国航天日在海南三市举办的庆祝活动及其目的，并回顾了中国航天事业的进展。 【31题详解】 最后一段指出：“The Space Day celebrations remind young people that the future of space exploration lies in their hands.”，说明主要目的是提醒年轻人未来的太空探索掌握在他们手中。 【32题详解】 第三段列举了七项活动，包括升旗仪式、航天开放日、科学讲座、展览等，这些活动既展示了中国航天成就，也展示了海南作为航天技术中心的角色，与题目所给句子相符，因此该句应放在③处。 【33题详解】 第一段指出活动在三市举办，第二段介绍学生参观火箭发射场，第三段列出七项活动，因此这些活动展示了中国航天成就。 【34题详解】 第二段中“It”所在句为：“I never thought I could stand so close to a real launch tower. It makes me want to become an astronaut.”，因此“It”指代“the experience of visiting a real launch tower”。 【35题详解】 第四段通过列举1970年发射第一颗卫星“launching its first satellite in 1970”、建造天宫空间站“building the Tiangong Space Station”等例子展示了中国航天的进步。 C Lisa stood next to her tall silent grandfather and watched her parents drive off, leaving her behind. She looked up at her grandfather. He looked down at her. His skin was a little darker than hers. His hair was black and white, as if it couldn’t decide which color it should be. “You don’t talk much, Grandpa,” Lisa said. “You don’t visit much, Lisa,” her grandfather replied. They stood looking at each other. “Come with me, Lisa,” said Grandpa. He started walking without looking back. Lisa followed him to a large storehouse. Lisa remembered her last visit to Grandpa’s. She had played hide-and-seek with her brother Jack in the storehouse. But now Jack needed an operation. Lisa had to stay here alone for a few days. “You coming?” Grandpa’s voice sounded muffled. His words were coming from inside the storehouse. Lisa went inside. The storehouse was full of all kinds of things. She could see him in the far corner. Lisa walked over and stood next to him. He pointed to a small wooden box with “Lisa” painted on it in bright green letters. “Yours,” he said. Lisa bent down and opened it. In it were some old things—a bright blue feather, a tiny V-shape leaf and some dolls. She looked up at Grandpa, with tears in her eyes. “The box stays here, but it belonged to you. No one else.” Then he closed his eyes and smiled. His smile reminded Lisa of her father. Grandpa no longer seemed strange and silent. “I may be so overcapitalized (过剩),” Lisa answered, carefully pronouncing the familiar word. Grandpa laughed out loud. “How did that eight-year-old brain of yours find its way around a big word like ‘overcapitalized’?” “It’s my dad’s favourite word,” Lisa replied. Grandpa looked down at Lisa and smiled. His smile again reminded Lisa of her father. Without thinking, she reached up and took Grandpa’s hand. Lisa’s hand felt small and safe inside her grandfather’s. “I might need more than one visit to my box,” Lisa said seriously. “I expect,” Grandpa said. 36. Why did Lisa stay with Grandpa alone for a few days? A. She was on her summer vacation. B. She missed her grandfather very much. C. Her grandfather needed an operation soon. D. Her parents had to look after her sick brother. 37. What does the underlined word “muffled” probably mean in Chinese? A. 清晰响亮。 B. 低沉模糊。 C. 奇怪好笑。 D. 生气不耐烦。 38. The passage tells about Grandpa EXCEPT that ________. A. he liked doing DIY B. he was a man of few words C. he had black and white hair D. he kept a wooden box for Lisa 39. From the sentence “Lisa’s hand felt small and safe inside her grandfather’s.” we can infer that Lisa ________. A. still felt afraid of staying at her grandpa’s house alone B. wanted to play hide-and-seek with her grandpa C. began to trust and feel close and safe with her grandpa D. wanted to leave the storehouse with her grandpa as soon as possible 40. What did Lisa promise to do at the end of the story? A. Help take care of her brother. B. Visit her grandpa more often. C. Learn more big words from her dad. D. Stay in the storehouse with the box. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了小女孩Lisa因弟弟生病要做手术，被暂时送到爷爷家暂住，在与沉默寡言的爷爷相处中，通过一个专属木盒逐渐感受到温暖与亲情的故事。 【36题详解】 根据文章第六段内容“But now Jack needed an operation. Lisa had to stay here alone for a few days.”以及第一段提到父母开车离开，可以推断父母要去照顾生病的弟弟，所以Lisa才留在爷爷家。 【37题详解】 根据划线词所在段落及其后一句“His words were coming from inside the storehouse.”可知，声音隔着仓库传播会变得不清晰、低沉。muffled意为“沉闷的、模糊的”，对应选项B“低沉模糊”。 【38题详解】 根据第二段“You don’t talk much, Grandpa”可知B项正确；根据第一段“His hair was black and white”可知C项正确；根据第九、十段爷爷展示写有Lisa名字的木盒可知D项正确。文中并未提及爷爷喜欢做DIY，属于无中生有。 【39题详解】 根据划线句前的语境“Grandpa no longer seemed strange and silent”以及句中关键词“safe”可知，Lisa握住爷爷的手感到安全，说明她开始信任爷爷，感到亲近。 【40题详解】 文章开头爷爷指出“You don't visit much, Lisa”，结尾Lisa说“I might need more than one visit to my box.”。盒子在爷爷家，探望盒子意味着再来爷爷家，这暗示了她承诺会多来探望爷爷。 D ①Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They don’t know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. ②We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First, you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. ③Many people say they yawn because they’re bored or tired. That might be true. However, we know that people also yawn when they’re excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. ④Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (伸展) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. ⑤In some countries, people think yawning isn’t nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. ⑥Scientists don’t spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It’s just something we do. 41. According to the passage, which of the following is the correct order of a yawn? a. Close your mouth quickly. b. Open your mouth slowly. c. Push the air out. d. Take in a lot of air. A. b-c-d-a B. b-d-c-a C. d-b-c-a D. d-c-b-a 42. What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Able to spread quickly. B. Able to breathe easily. C. Able to change easily. D. Able to sleep quickly. 43. Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race according to the passage? A. They feel very bored before the race. B. They yawn to calm down and cool their brains. C. They want to get more air to run faster. D. They are too nervous to remember how to breathe. 44. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 45. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Different reasons for yawning B. Advantages of yawning C. Facts and opinions about yawning D. Best ways to stop yawning in public 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了关于打哈欠的各种事实：打哈欠的方式、打哈欠会传染、打哈欠的原因、打哈欠可能让人反应更快，以及不同国家对打哈欠的不同看法等等。 【41题详解】 第二段中提到“First, you open your mouth slowly...You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth(a).”，所以正确顺序为b→d→c→a。 【42题详解】 第二段中提到“When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.”，说明打哈欠会从一个人“传染”给另一个人，所以“contagious”意为“能迅速传播的”，选项A“Able to spread quickly.”正确。 【43题详解】 第三段中提到“Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race... a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.”，所以奥运选手赛前打哈欠是为了让大脑降温，选项B“They yawn to calm down and cool their brains.”正确。 【44题详解】 文章结构：第①段总起 (科学家不知道打哈欠的确切原因，但知道许多事实)；第②段讲打哈欠的方式和传染性；第③段讲打哈欠的原因 (包括为大脑降温)；第④段讲打哈欠可能让人反应更快；第⑤段讲不同文化对打哈欠的看法；第⑥段总结 (科学家不常研究打哈欠因为它无害)。这是“总—分—总”的结构。选项B正确。 【45题详解】 全文介绍了关于打哈欠的各种事实 (方式、传染性、原因、生理作用、文化差异)以及科学家的看法，所以选项C“Facts and opinions about yawning”最能概括全文主旨。 第二部分 非选择题(共55分) 四、任务型阅读 (共10空;每空1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 Inner painting is a traditional art in China and a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Artists use special thin brushes to paint on the inside of glass bottles. The bottles are very small, so the brushes must be thin enough to go in. These small works of art often have deep meanings. The pictures on them show people’s wishes for good luck and a happy life. The most popular designs are landscapes, flowers and birds. Many people collect these small bottles and keep them at home. They are also given as gifts to bring good wishes and joy. Making an inner painting needs great skills. Artists must carefully paint through the bottle’s narrow neck. They paint in a special order — starting with the closest things and putting backgrounds together later. This is opposite to the usual way. When people look from the outside, the painting looks right. Artists also need to be careful and patient. A single mistake means starting all over again. That’s a complete restart. “It’s very difficult, you know, like drawing a straight line even when the ground is shaking violently (剧烈地),” one artist said. Most artists spend 2 to 3 years just practicing basic lines, carefully repeating the same strokes over and over again. Inner painting has cultural value, but it faces problems today. Fewer young people are interested in it. The market is limited, and very few people come to learn it. Luckily, artists are trying to bring it closer to our daily life.

I walked in around 11:00 a.m. and was seated right away. By the time I left, there was a line. I don’t believe there are really any meals worth a 2-3-hour wait. Peking roast duck, of course, was delicious! So glad I came here and it didn’t disappoint me! Good but Not Worth the Wait We went to this restaurant twice, but the wait was over 2 hours. The third time, we really wanted to try it. Get there early to avoid the long wait (we arrived at 4:00 p.m.). The price is very reasonable for a whole duck considering how good the quality is. Highly recommended visiting Minfu if you want to have a memorable roast duck experience. Best Roast Duck Ever The roast duck here is the best I have ever had. Several of the other dishes were also excellent, for example, the eggplant rolls. The restaurant was also very helpful in looking for my hat which I left there. But the wait in line is very long (almost 4 hours for us). Finally, the cost was not expensive for such a high quality meal. 26. According to the text, what percent of the customers think the restaurant is excellent? A. About 10%. B. About 25%. C. About 30%. D. About 60%. 27.

A. poster B. website C. magazine D. advertisement B China’s Space Day: A Journey to the Stars On April 24, 2026, China celebrated its Space Day with the theme “Seventy Years of Reaching for the Sky, Exploring the Universe Together.” The event was held across three cities in Hainan Province—Haikou, Wenchang, and Sanya—each showing different aspects of China’s growing space program. ① In Wenchang, about 400 students visited the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site. They walked near rocket launch towers and command centers, listening to experts explain how rockets work. The students even touched rocket models and tried simulated launch operations. “I never thought I could stand so close to a real launch tower,” said one excited student. “It makes me want to become an astronaut.” ② The events included seven main activities: flag-raising ceremonies, space open days, science lectures, exhibitions, intellectual property discussions, painting activities, and light shows. ③ China’s space program has made remarkable progress over the past seventy years. From launching its first satellite in 1970 to building the Tiangong Space Station, China has turned many dreams into reality. ④ The Space Day celebrations remind young people that the future of space exploration lies in their hands. 31.

A. listing numbers of rockets B. giving examples of China’s space program C. comparing China’s past and present achievements D. telling stories of astronauts who have worked in space C Lisa stood next to her tall silent grandfather and watched her parents drive off, leaving her behind. She looked up at her grandfather. He looked down at her. His skin was a little darker than hers. His hair was black and white, as if it couldn’t decide which color it should be. “You don’t talk much, Grandpa,” Lisa said. “You don’t visit much, Lisa,” her grandfather replied. They stood looking at each other. “Come with me, Lisa,” said Grandpa. He started walking without looking back. Lisa followed him to a large storehouse. Lisa remembered her last visit to Grandpa’s. She had played hide-and-seek with her brother Jack in the storehouse. But now Jack needed an operation. Lisa had to stay here alone for a few days. “You coming?” Grandpa’s voice sounded muffled. His words were coming from inside the storehouse. Lisa went inside. The storehouse was full of all kinds of things. She could see him in the far corner. Lisa walked over and stood next to him. He pointed to a small wooden box with “Lisa” painted on it in bright green letters. “Yours,” he said. Lisa bent down and opened it. In it were some old things—a bright blue feather, a tiny V-shape leaf and some dolls. She looked up at Grandpa, with tears in her eyes. “The box stays here, but it belonged to you. No one else.” Then he closed his eyes and smiled. His smile reminded Lisa of her father. Grandpa no longer seemed strange and silent. “I may be so overcapitalized (过剩),” Lisa answered, carefully pronouncing the familiar word. Grandpa laughed out loud. “How did that eight-year-old brain of yours find its way around a big word like ‘overcapitalized’?” “It’s my dad’s favourite word,” Lisa replied. Grandpa looked down at Lisa and smiled. His smile again reminded Lisa of her father. Without thinking, she reached up and took Grandpa’s hand. Lisa’s hand felt small and safe inside her grandfather’s. “I might need more than one visit to my box,” Lisa said seriously. “I expect,” Grandpa said. 36. Why did Lisa stay with Grandpa alone for a few days? A. She was on her summer vacation. B. She missed her grandfather very much. C. Her grandfather needed an operation soon. D. Her parents had to look after her sick brother. 37. What does the underlined word “muffled” probably mean in Chinese? A. 清晰响亮。 B. 低沉模糊。 C. 奇怪好笑。 D. 生气不耐烦。 38. The passage tells about Grandpa EXCEPT that ________. A. he liked doing DIY B. he was a man of few words C. he had black and white hair D. he kept a wooden box for Lisa 39. From the sentence “Lisa’s hand felt small and safe inside her grandfather’s.” we can infer that Lisa ________. A. still felt afraid of staying at her grandpa’s house alone B. wanted to play hide-and-seek with her grandpa C. began to trust and feel close and safe with her grandpa D. wanted to leave the storehouse with her grandpa as soon as possible 40. What did Lisa promise to do at the end of the story? A. Help take care of her brother. B. Visit her grandpa more often. C. Learn more big words from her dad. D. Stay in the storehouse with the box. D ①Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They don’t know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. ②We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First, you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. ③Many people say they yawn because they’re bored or tired. That might be true. However, we know that people also yawn when they’re excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. ④Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (伸展) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. ⑤In some countries, people think yawning isn’t nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. ⑥Scientists don’t spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It’s just something we do. 41. According to the passage, which of the following is the correct order of a yawn? a. Close your mouth quickly. b. Open your mouth slowly. c. Push the air out. d. Take in a lot of air. A. b-c-d-a B. b-d-c-a C. d-b-c-a D. d-c-b-a 42. What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Able to spread quickly. B. Able to breathe easily. C. Able to change easily. D. Able to sleep quickly. 43. Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race according to the passage? A. They feel very bored before the race. B. They yawn to calm down and cool their brains. C. They want to get more air to run faster. D. They are too nervous to remember how to breathe. 44. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 45. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Different reasons for yawning B. Advantages of yawning C. Facts and opinions about yawning D. Best ways to stop yawning in public 第二部分 非选择题(共55分) 四、任务型阅读 (共10空;每空1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 Inner painting is a traditional art in China and a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Artists use special thin brushes to paint on the inside of glass bottles. The bottles are very small, so the brushes must be thin enough to go in. These small works of art often have deep meanings. The pictures on them show people’s wishes for good luck and a happy life. The most popular designs are landscapes, flowers and birds. Many people collect these small bottles and keep them at home. They are also given as gifts to bring good wishes and joy. Making an inner painting needs great skills. Artists must carefully paint through the bottle’s narrow neck. They paint in a special order — starting with the closest things and putting backgrounds together later. This is opposite to the usual way. When people look from the outside, the painting looks right. Artists also need to be careful and patient. A single mistake means starting all over again. That’s a complete restart. “It’s very difficult, you know, like drawing a straight line even when the ground is shaking violently (剧烈地),” one artist said. Most artists spend 2 to 3 years just practicing basic lines, carefully repeating the same strokes over and over again. Inner painting has cultural value, but it faces problems today. Fewer young people are interested in it. The market is limited, and very few people come to learn it. Luckily, artists are trying to bring it closer to our daily life. It is now used on everyday things like tea sets. A new brush has been invented to make painting quicker. Young artists also share their skills on social media. Li Mei, for example, showed her inner painting online and got over 500,000 followers. She said, “We hope people respect it as a heritage, and that it can stay alive in everyday life.” Artists also hope that schools will offer inner painting courses for young people in the near future.
