As her fingers pass the shuttle (梭子) back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life. Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo cloth. “This type of handmade cloth is extremely rare. You can 1 buy it at the market,” she said. For the Dong people in Guizhou, making indigo cloth has a long tradition. The 2 has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth. This traditional way of making indigo cloth, 3 , is now in danger. It will disappear slowly in the modern industrial society. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have moved to big cities to find better jobs. Local officials want to 4 the tradition. They are trying to change young people’s attitude towards it. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home. The Dong people consider indigo cloth as 5 as rice. Many Dong women spend countless hours making the cloth. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed (搓) and beaten hard. They rise and start working very early in the morning. The noise of cloth being beaten often 6 the whole village.

But Ricardo sat quietly and 1 a smile, trying to fit in while hiding his true feelings. As the star player on the soccer team, he wasn’t that into ballet. However, the next morning, when the class entered the Opera House, Ricardo was amazed by how grand it was. The high ceilings and fancy decorations (装饰) made the place magical. As they sat down, he saw the ballet dancers on stage. Their smooth 2 and beautiful poses (姿势) caught his attention. He had never thought much about ballet before, but now he could see the skill and beauty in it. That night, lying in bed, he couldn’t stop thinking about the dancers, whose strength and grace(优雅) 3 his mind and created a lasting impression on him. Mrs. Periwinkle had been right—it was an amazing trip. With each thought, his curiosity (好奇) grew. For the first time, he thought about learning ballet, but he felt nervous. What would his friends think? Would they understand? Though worried, Ricardo decided to try ballet. He thought that if he told his friends, they might make fun of him, so he chose to keep it a 4 . He signed up for lessons without telling anyone. As months passed, he got really into dance, and his ballet teacher praised the athletic skills he had gained from soccer. His strength and flexibility helped him improve, and each new step brought a rush of excitement. One day at soccer practice, his teammates noticed he was missing. “I saw Ricardo’s name on a ballet poster!” one of them said. They couldn’t wait to uncover the truth, so they decided to attend the show. On performance night, Ricardo was 5 . But when he saw his friends in the audience, he took a deep breath and focused on the music. As he danced, he poured his heart into every move. After the curtain fell, his friends rushed backstage to congratulate him. Their cheer filled the room, and warmth spread through him. At that moment, he realized that 6 his passion didn’t have to be embarrassing. With his friends’ support, he felt ready to explore every part of who he was. 1．A．forced B．lost C．froze D．avoided 2．A．sounds B．operations C．movements D．communications 3．A．mixed B．filled C．lost D．clouded 4．A．secret B．goal C．promise D．habit 5．A．surprised B．tired C．bored D．nervous 6．A．finding B．following C．sharing D．missing 话题2 发明与创造 Passage 1 China is an ancient country with a long history and many amazing discoveries. One of the most important inventions that changed the world was the compass. For centuries, people around the world have been 1 this great invention from ancient China. The earliest compass, known as “Sinan”, was invented during the Han Dynasty. It was a spoon-shaped piece of lodestone (a natural magnet) placed on a bronze plate. The handle of the spoon would always point 2 . This was a fantastic discovery at that time. Later, during the Song Dynasty, the compass was 3 . People began to use a steel needle which was rubbed with a lodestone to magnetise (使磁化) it. This needle was then placed on a straw in a bowl of water, and it could point south easily. Before the compass, sailors often found it difficult to find their way on the open sea when the weather was bad and they couldn’t see the sun or stars. They were afraid of sailing too far and getting lost. The invention of the compass 4 all of this. It allowed sailors to know their direction in any weather. With the help of the compass, Chinese explorers like Zheng He could sail to faraway places. The knowledge of the compass later 5 to the rest of the world through trade and travel. It played a key role in the Age of Exploration in Europe. It helped explorers like Christopher Columbus discover new lands. This great invention from China truly made long sea voyages and global exploration 6 . It connected different parts of the world and changed history forever. 1．A．proud of B．worried about C．interested in D．surprised at 2．A．east B．west C．south D．north 3．A．forgotten B．improved C．protected D．described 4．A．started B．changed C．recorded D．repeated 5．A．sold B．returned C．spread D．lent 6．A．impossible B．popular C．necessary D．possible Passage 2 How would you use a radio or a telephone if you had no electricity or batteries? These 1 bothered British inventor Trevor Baylis. So in 1996 he   2 a wind-up (装有发条的) radio. It doesn’t need electricity or batteries. You wind it up 3 hand. It plays for about an hour. Then, you wind it up again. Then in 1999, Baylis invented a mobile telephone that is powered by 4 . The shoes contain a small battery that is powered when you walk. This battery is connected to a mobile phone. These two simple inventions can bring modern 5 to all parts of the world. Baylis doesn’t have a university degree in engineering. In fact, he left high school before graduating. He just loves making things to help people. He never knows 6 ideas will come to him. The idea for the telephone came to him in a dream. 1．A．dreams B．problems C．wonders D．wishes 2．A．invented B．improved C．borrowed D．copied 3．A．in B．at C．on D．by 4．A．sun B．shoes C．caps D．wind 5．A．communications B．exhibitions C．suggestions D．instructions 6．A．while B．because C．unless D．when 话题3 货币与理财 Passage 1 At the start of this term, I made two money goals. The first was to save for a second-hand bike, because I wanted to ride to school in spring. The second was to give part of my pocket money to a class charity sale. My brother laughed when he heard this. He said it would be difficult to save for myself and help others at the same time. I knew he might be right, but I still wanted to 1 . To begin with, I stopped buying snacks every afternoon. I also took a water bottle from home instead of buying drinks at school. The changes looked small, yet they made a real difference. Every weekend, I put the saved money into two boxes. One box was marked “Bike”, and the other was marked “Charity”. The labels helped me remember that money should be used with a clear 2 . There were moments when I almost gave up. Once I saw a model car in a shop window and wanted it badly. It was not too expensive, and I had enough money in my pocket. Still, when I thought about my two boxes, I walked away. I knew that a small choice today could affect a bigger plan tomorrow. Self-control, I discovered, is not a talent people are born with. It is a habit that grows through repeated 3 . Two months later, our class held the charity sale. I used the money from one box to buy some handmade bookmarks and sold them with my classmates. We raised more money than we had expected, and our teacher said every small contribution mattered. That day I felt a kind of happiness that shopping could not easily 4 . A week after the sale, I counted the money in my other box. It was enough for the bike I had wanted. When I finally rode it home, I understood something new. Saving money is not only a way to get things. It can also teach us patience, responsibility and care for other people. The value of money does not lie only in what it can buy, but also in the 5 behind each choice. My brother no longer laughs at my plan. In fact, he has started keeping a small savings box of his own. He says he wants to save for a football and also give money to an animal shelter. Maybe good money habits can spread from one person to another. Sometimes a simple plan is enough to 6 someone else to start. 1．A．hide B．try C．guess D．complain 2．A．purpose B．colour C．size D．price 3．A．choices B．mistakes C．classes D．gifts 4．A．describe B．fix C．offer D．invent 5．A．stories B．decisions C．numbers D．coins 6．A．force B．allow C．invite D．encourage Passage 2 Our English teacher gave us a special project this month: make a plan for a charity sale. At first, my group thought the task would be easy. We could just bring some old things, put prices on them and wait for people to buy. But the more we discussed, the more we realized that a successful sale needed more than good 1 . First, we had to decide what to sell. Some classmates wanted to bring expensive toys, but our teacher reminded us that the goal was not to show off. We needed items that were clean, useful and suitable for students. In the end, we chose storybooks, stationery, handmade key rings and bookmarks. We wanted buyers to feel that they were getting something meaningful while also helping a good 2 . Next came the question of price. If we set the prices too high, students might walk away. If we set them too low, we would raise less money for charity. So we compared the condition of each item and tried to find fair prices. That part taught me that pricing is not simply a number. It reflects value, the needs of buyers and the 3 of the event. We also designed posters and wrote short messages for the morning assembly. One classmate suggested using the words “cheap” and “best deal”, but another said we should also explain where the money would go. I agreed. People are often more willing to spend when they know their money can make a real 4 . On the day of the sale, I was nervous at first. Then students from different grades began to arrive. Some bought things quickly, while others stayed to ask questions. By the end of lunch break, many boxes were already empty. When we counted the money later, we were tired but excited. The total was much higher than we had expected. That afternoon, I understood that money can do more than buy personal treats. It can connect kindness with action. A charity sale may look simple, but behind it are planning, teamwork and trust. Once people work together for others, even small amounts of money can create a big 5 . For me, the most valuable part of the project was not the final number we raised, but the lesson that careful planning gives generosity a stronger 6 . 1．A．weather B．luck C．goods D．rules 2．A．cause B．friend C．habit D．subject 3．A．speed B．purpose C．size D．date 4．A．difference B．choice C．noise D．mistake 5．A．ticket B．change C．bill D．dream 6．A．direction B．voice C．future D．result 话题4 时尚 Passage 1 Fashion is like a language that everyone can understand. It is not just about clothes; it is about culture, art, and ideas. Today, international fashion is becoming more and more global. This means styles from one country 1 quickly become popular in another. For example, a type of hat from Korea might be seen on the streets of London, or a bag from France might be loved by teenagers in New York. The Internet and social media help these styles 2 around the world  fast. Young people especially enjoy 3 different fashion trends and creating their own unique look. However, some people are also thinking about the 4 of “fast fashion”. Fast fashion means producing cheap clothes quickly to follow new trends. But this can be bad for the environment. 5 , many designers  and companies are now trying to make clothes in a more sustainable way. They use recycled materials and make sure the workers are treated fairly. So, when we choose what to wear, we are not just making a fashion statement. We are also making a choice about the kind of world we want to live in. It’s important to remember that real style isn’t just about looking good—it’s about  feeling good and 6 good, too. 1．A．can B．should C．must D．need 2．A．walk B．jump C．travel D．run 3．A．making B．buying C．selling D．mixing 4．A．price B．problem C．time D．size 5．A．Because B．So C．But D．Then 6．A．doing B．eating C．seeing D．tasting Passage 2 I remember I went shopping on my first visit to Macau. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having much 1 to enjoy the sun in the United Kingdom and having naturally fair skin, I have very white legs. In the United Kingdom, this is not a fashionable look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun. The 2 the skin is, the better the look will be. As I walked around one shop, two shop assistants couldn’t take their 3 off me the whole time. They were talking quietly in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I 4 about the shop assistants being very rude and always looking at my legs. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed, “They weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. 5 , there are many nice products in the shop to make skin whiter.” It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better. The grass is always greener on the other side of the river. If the women of the West and East 6 the same way, Western women wouldn’t spend so much time bathing in the sun and women from the East wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter. 1．A．mood B．sense C．chance D．money 2．A．darker B．whiter C．smoother D．brighter 3．A．eyes B．sight C．judgement D．attraction 4．A．argued B．discussed C．cried D．complained 5．A．Because B．However C．Although D．Actually 6．A．lived B．thought C．behaved D．learned Passage 3 Clothes then and now Today, clothes are made in many different colours. They are also made from many different 1 like wools, cotton, linen and silk. Most people own lots of clothes. Each day, they choose what to wear. Clothes Clothes cover our bodies and protect us from the weather. They can also make us feel good about the way we look. Sometimes, our clothes tell other people 2 about us, such as the work we do or what religion (宗教) we are. People have been wearing clothes for many thousands of years, but the clothes people wore long ago were different from the clothes people wear today. Fashion Fashion means the kinds of clothes that are popular at one time. Ancient Romans wore dresses. Some Romans wore togas (宽外袍)  to special events. Long ago, women in some countries wore corsets under their dresses. Corsets were pulled in tight and tied at the back, so they weren’t 3 to wear. Women wore corsets to make their waists (腰) look smaller. Fashion 4 . It can be different from place to place. However, most people today wear simple clothes that are easy to put on and care for. Clothes need to be 5 for the climate a person lives in, too. Uniforms People have worn uniforms for thousands of years. Uniforms show the work people do, or what school they go to, or what team or group they belong to. Most uniforms today are suitable. Some uniforms 6 help to protect people from danger. Clothes in the past and the future You can learn more about the clothes people used to wear by looking at old paintings and old photos. What clothes will people wear in the future? What styles will people wear? Maybe people in the future will look back at the clothes in fashion today and think they look strange! 1．A．products B．chemicals C．materials D．styles 2．A．something B．anything C．nothing D．everything 3．A．warm B．comfortable C．beautiful D．suitable 4．A．repeats B．continues C．increases D．changes 5．A．thick B．right C．traditional D．dry 6．A．especially B．seldom C．finally D．even 话题5 自然灾害与防范 Passage 1 We live on a beautiful planet, but it is also powerful and sometimes wild. To live safely and happily, we need to have a respect for nature and the 1 that shape our world. Think about a volcano. For many years, it can be quiet and peaceful. People might even build villages on its slopes because of the rich soil. But deep under the surface, great heat and pressure are building up. When the force becomes too strong, the mountain can 2 , throwing out hot rocks and ash. This shows us that nature has its own timetable, which doesn’t always match ours. Similarly, when heavy rains pour for days, rivers can rise and 3 their banks. The water can cover roads, farms, and even houses. It seems that nature is reminding us who is really in charge. We cannot stop the rain from falling, but we can learn to understand its patterns and prepare for its power. Building stronger flood walls and not building homes in low-lying areas are wise 4 .   Sometimes, the best thing we can do is simply to stand in awe of nature’s beauty and power. Watching the endless ocean waves, listening to the wind in the mountains, or looking up at the stars on a clear night can make us feel 5 . These feelings help us remember that we are a part of this amazing world, not its masters. Having respect for nature doesn’t mean we are weak. It means we are wise enough to know our limits and smart enough to live in harmony with our planet. By learning, preparing, and admiring, we can build a safer and 6 future for everyone. 1．A．forces B．gardens C．stories D．rules 2．A．disappear B．explode C．arrive D．sleep 3．A．clean B．cross C．follow D．leave 4．A．games B．choices C．dreams D．prizes 5．A．bored and tired B．happy and excited C．small but connected D．strong and powerful 6．A．quieter B．slower C．brighter D．easier Passage 2 Natural disasters like typhoons and earthquakes affect our lives a lot. When a typhoon hits, strong winds and heavy rain come suddenly. Lisa’s family was driving home 1 the strong winds started. They almost got into an accident. When they got home, water was everywhere. Haitao’s family was better prepared. They covered windows and moved things off the floor 2 the typhoon came. They stored food and water too. When Jenny looked up, thick clouds 3 forming, and the rain 4 beating against the roof. The family ran to the safe room. 5 they were waiting, her sister cried. Dad told her they were like a lion hiding. Soon she laughed again. After the storm, people were asking about safety 6 others were clearing streets. 1．A．when B．while C．because D．so that 2．A．when B．after C．before D．while 3．A．is B．was C．are D．were 4．A．is B．were C．are D．was 5．A．Because B．When C．While D．So that 6．A．while B．when C．because D．so that Passage 3 Goldie leads the pack of hungry goats ready for their daily work. These animals eat dry plants in forests and fields to help stop wildfires in California. Wildfires are a big danger to parks, communities and open land. They spread fast and burn for weeks or even months. The 1 has become worse in recent years. Goats eat the dry brush that easily catches fire. Targeted grazing (定向放牧) is a smart way to 2 fires before they start. Carl McCosker watches over the goats. He began with only four goats to clear neighbor’s land. Now, his herd (羊群) has grown because many places need their help. Why are there more fires now? Scientists say summers are hotter and winters are 3 . Rain is less common than in the past. Green plants make it hard for fire to start, but dry plants help fires spread. That’s why clearing brush is so important. Carl and his team use movable pens (围栏) called sets to guide the goats. Each set is a certain area that needs clearing. The goats eat the dry plants while the team sets up the next pen. Once the goats finish eating in one set, they 4 the next until the whole area is clear. Carl’s 120 goats work for six months each year. The goats eat from morning until night, like little eating machines. This continuous 5 to eat helps clear land quickly. A group of 100 goats can clear an entire acre—the size of a football field—in just one day. During the rainy season, the goats stay in barns. In spring, new baby goats are born and soon join the work. Carl believes targeted grazing is a natural and low-cost method. What’s more, it is better than using big machines that pollute the air. He works with family, friends, and dogs to protect the goats from wild animals. “There’s no better feeling than knowing you’re making a real difference,” Carl says with a smile. He is 6 to help keep forests and people safe from wildfires. 1．A．attention B．solution C．situation D．position 2．A．prevent B．pretend C．protect D．keep 3．A．wetter B．drier C．colder D．warmer 4．A．look forward to B．go back to C．come up with D．move on to 5．A．arrangement B．amusement C．requirement D．development 6．A．confident B．proud C．excited D．satisfied 话题6 友谊 Passage 1 When I was a little child, I was very shy. I was afraid to talk to others. I often felt 1 and lonely. I didn’t know how to 2 my feelings. One day, my teacher talked to me. She told me that I should be confident. She advised me 3 more with my classmates. She said, “ 4 you try your best, you will make many friends.” I followed her advice. I tried to talk to my classmates. At first, I was nervous. 5 I didn’t give up. Little by little, I made some friends. I felt very happy. Now I am outgoing. I know that 6 is important for us. We should learn to deal with our emotions. 1．A．happy B．upset C．excited D．surprised 2．A．deal with B．look for C．turn on D．take off 3．A．talk B．to talk C．talking D．talked 4．A．Although B．Until C．If D．So that 5．A．And B．But C．So D．Or 6．A．happiness B．sadness C．friendship D．independence Passage 2 Dealing with Emotions Everyone has emotions, and learning to 1 them is an important part of growing up. Last term, I had a big argument with my best friend, Lily. She borrowed my favorite storybook but forgot to return it. When I asked for it, she said she had lost it. I was so 2 that I shouted at her. We didn’t talk to each other for weeks. I felt really 3 during that time. My mother noticed my sadness and told me that 4 it’s normal to be angry, we shouldn’t say hurtful things to our friends. She advised me to put myself in Lily’s shoes. Maybe she didn’t lose the book on purpose. I decided to 5 my fear of being refused and talk to Lily. When I called her, she apologized (道歉) immediately (立刻地). She said she had found the book and felt too ashamed to tell me. We cleared the air and became friends again. This experience taught me that communication is the key to solving problems. It also made me realize that 6 we face conflicts, being patient and understanding can help us stay positive. 1．A．hide B．deal with C．show D．forget 2．A．happy B．angry C．scared D．lonely 3．A．upset B．excited C．relaxed D．proud 4．A．until B．unless C．although D．as soon as 5．A．get over B．give up C．run away D．laugh at 6．A．before B．when C．after D．since Passage 3 An unlikely friendship In a small American town, two very different girls found friendship in the most unexpected way. Sarah was the school’s best student who always sat in the front row, while Emma was known for her art skills but struggled with her studies. At first, they 1 each other because they thought they had nothing in common. Sarah thought Emma was casual about schoolwork, and Emma found Sarah too serious. They never spoke until their teacher paired them for a science project. The project required building a model volcano. Sarah had all the research facts, but she couldn’t design an attractive model. Emma had great creative ideas but didn’t understand the science behind volcanoes. They realised they needed to work together 2 they could succeed. Their attempts were difficult at first. Sarah wanted everything perfect, while Emma liked to experiment. After several failed attempts, they finally learned to listen to each other. Sarah explained the scientific principles, and Emma showed how to make the model look realistic. The project became much 3 when they combined their strengths. When Sarah felt stressed about the presentation, Emma would 4 to help her practice. When Emma struggled with the written report, Sarah patiently helped her organise the information. On the presentation day, their volcano model was both scientifically accurate and beautifully designed. When they received the top grade, Emma turned to Sarah and said 5 , “We did it together!” Their success wasn’t just about the grade—it was about discovering how their differences made them stronger. Their friendship grew beyond the project. They still had different interests, but they now appreciate what made each other unique. Their story shows that true friendship isn’t about being the same—it’s about the special 6 that forms when we accept and value our differences. 1．A．helped B．avoided C．followed D．praised 2．A．if B．because C．unless D．so 3．A．harder B．easier C．longer D．smaller 4．A．refuse B．forget C．offer D．fear 5．A．sadly B．proudly C．angrily D．quietly 6．A．competition B．argument C．distance D．connection 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题07 完形填空15篇 话题1 艺术和艺术家 话题2 发明与创造 话题3 货币与理财 话题4 时尚 话题5 自然灾害与防范 话题6 友谊 话题1 艺术和艺术家 Passage 1 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．C 6．D Passage 2 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 6．B 话题2 发明与创造 Passage 1 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 6．D Passage 2 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．A 6．D 话题3 货币与理财 Passage 1 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．D Passage 2 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．B 6．B 话题4 时尚 Passage 1 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．B 6．A Passage 2 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 5．D 6．B Passage 3 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．B 6．D 话题5 自然灾害与防范 Passage 1 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．C 6．C Passage 2 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．C 6．A Passage 3 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 6．B 话题6 友谊 Passage 1 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B 6．C Passage 2 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．A 6．B Passage 3 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．B 6．D 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题07 完形填空15篇 话题1 艺术和艺术家 话题2 发明与创造 话题3 货币与理财 话题4 时尚 话题5 自然灾害与防范 话题6 友谊 话题1 艺术和艺术家 Passage 1 The Dong people (侗族人) and their indigo cloth (靛蓝色布) Yang Xiuying, 74, sits at a wooden loom (织布机). As her fingers pass the shuttle (梭子) back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life. Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo cloth. “This type of handmade cloth is extremely rare. You can 1 buy it at the market,” she said. For the Dong people in Guizhou, making indigo cloth has a long tradition. The 2 has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth. This traditional way of making indigo cloth, 3 , is now in danger. It will disappear slowly in the modern industrial society. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have moved to big cities to find better jobs. Local officials want to 4 the tradition. They are trying to change young people’s attitude towards it. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home. The Dong people consider indigo cloth as 5 as rice. Many Dong women spend countless hours making the cloth. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed (搓) and beaten hard. They rise and start working very early in the morning. The noise of cloth being beaten often 6 the whole village.

What would his friends think? Would they understand? Though worried, Ricardo decided to try ballet. He thought that if he told his friends, they might make fun of him, so he chose to keep it a 4 . He signed up for lessons without telling anyone. As months passed, he got really into dance, and his ballet teacher praised the athletic skills he had gained from soccer. His strength and flexibility helped him improve, and each new step brought a rush of excitement.

They couldn’t wait to uncover the truth, so they decided to attend the show. On performance night, Ricardo was 5 . But when he saw his friends in the audience, he took a deep breath and focused on the music. As he danced, he poured his heart into every move.

One of the most important inventions that changed the world was the compass. For centuries, people around the world have been 1 this great invention from ancient China. The earliest compass, known as “Sinan”, was invented during the Han Dynasty. It was a spoon-shaped piece of lodestone (a natural magnet) placed on a bronze plate. The handle of the spoon would always point 2 . This was a fantastic discovery at that time. Later, during the Song Dynasty, the compass was 3 . People began to use a steel needle which was rubbed with a lodestone to magnetise (使磁化) it. This needle was then placed on a straw in a bowl of water, and it could point south easily. Before the compass, sailors often found it difficult to find their way on the open sea when the weather was bad and they couldn’t see the sun or stars. They were afraid of sailing too far and getting lost. The invention of the compass 4 all of this. It allowed sailors to know their direction in any weather. With the help of the compass, Chinese explorers like Zheng He could sail to faraway places. The knowledge of the compass later 5 to the rest of the world through trade and travel.

The first was to save for a second-hand bike, because I wanted to ride to school in spring. The second was to give part of my pocket money to a class charity sale. My brother laughed when he heard this. He said it would be difficult to save for myself and help others at the same time. I knew he might be right, but I still wanted to 1 . To begin with, I stopped buying snacks every afternoon. I also took a water bottle from home instead of buying drinks at school. The changes looked small, yet they made a real difference. Every weekend, I put the saved money into two boxes. One box was marked “Bike”, and the other was marked “Charity”. The labels helped me remember that money should be used with a clear 2 . There were moments when I almost gave up. Once I saw a model car in a shop window and wanted it badly. It was not too expensive, and I had enough money in my pocket. Still, when I thought about my two boxes, I walked away. I knew that a small choice today could affect a bigger plan tomorrow. Self-control, I discovered, is not a talent people are born with. It is a habit that grows through repeated 3 . Two months later, our class held the charity sale. I used the money from one box to buy some handmade bookmarks and sold them with my classmates. We raised more money than we had expected, and our teacher said every small contribution mattered. That day I felt a kind of happiness that shopping could not easily 4 . A week after the sale, I counted the money in my other box. It was enough for the bike I had wanted. When I finally rode it home, I understood something new. Saving money is not only a way to get things. It can also teach us patience, responsibility and care for other people. The value of money does not lie only in what it can buy, but also in the 5 behind each choice. My brother no longer laughs at my plan. In fact, he has started keeping a small savings box of his own. He says he wants to save for a football and also give money to an animal shelter. Maybe good money habits can spread from one person to another. Sometimes a simple plan is enough to 6 someone else to start. 1．A．hide B．try C．guess D．complain 2．A．purpose B．colour C．size D．price 3．A．choices B．mistakes C．classes D．gifts 4．A．describe B．fix C．offer D．invent 5．A．stories B．decisions C．numbers D．coins 6．A．force B．allow C．invite D．encourage 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者新学期定下两个存钱目标——攒钱买二手自行车、留出部分钱支持班级慈善义卖，作者通过控制消费、坚持自控完成了目标，领悟到存钱的意义不只在于获得物品，更能培养好品格，还能带动他人养成良好理财习惯。 1．句意：我知道他说的可能没错，但我还是想试一试。 哥哥说同时完成两个存钱目标难度很大，作者明白哥哥的话但还是想要尝试，hide隐藏、guess猜测、complain抱怨都不贴合逻辑。 2．句意：这些标签提醒我，花钱要有明确的目的。 作者将钱分别存在标注不同用途的两个盒子中，标签提醒花钱要有清晰的目标，purpose“目的”符合语义，colour颜色、size尺寸、price价格都不贴合逻辑。 3．句意：我发现，自控力不是与生俱来的天赋，它是靠一次次重复选择养成的习惯。 作者点明自制力不是天生的天赋，是通过一次次重复的正确选择养成的习惯，choices呼应前文提到的“a small choice today”。而mistakes错误、classes课程、gifts礼物都不贴合逻辑。 4．句意：那天我体会到了一种购物很难带来的快乐。 作者参与慈善获得的幸福感，是购物很难提供的，offer“提供”符合语义逻辑。describe描述、fix修理、invent发明都不贴合逻辑。 5．句意：金钱的价值不只在于它能买到什么，还在于每个选择背后的决定。 作者感悟金钱的价值不仅在于它能买到的东西，也在于每个选择背后的决定所承载的意义，decisions“决定”符合句意。stories故事、numbers数字、coins硬币都不贴合逻辑。 6．句意：有时候一个简单的计划，就足以鼓励其他人也开始行动。 好的理财习惯会传染，作者的计划成功后，也鼓励了哥哥开始自己的存钱计划，encourage“鼓励”符合语境。force强迫、allow允许、invite邀请都不贴合逻辑。 Passage 2 Our English teacher gave us a special project this month: make a plan for a charity sale. At first, my group thought the task would be easy. We could just bring some old things, put prices on them and wait for people to buy. But the more we discussed, the more we realized that a successful sale needed more than good 1 . First, we had to decide what to sell. Some classmates wanted to bring expensive toys, but our teacher reminded us that the goal was not to show off. We needed items that were clean, useful and suitable for students. In the end, we chose storybooks, stationery, handmade key rings and bookmarks. We wanted buyers to feel that they were getting something meaningful while also helping a good 2 . Next came the question of price. If we set the prices too high, students might walk away. If we set them too low, we would raise less money for charity. So we compared the condition of each item and tried to find fair prices. That part taught me that pricing is not simply a number. It reflects value, the needs of buyers and the 3 of the event. We also designed posters and wrote short messages for the morning assembly. One classmate suggested using the words “cheap” and “best deal”, but another said we should also explain where the money would go. I agreed. People are often more willing to spend when they know their money can make a real 4 . On the day of the sale, I was nervous at first. Then students from different grades began to arrive. Some bought things quickly, while others stayed to ask questions. By the end of lunch break, many boxes were already empty. When we counted the money later, we were tired but excited. The total was much higher than we had expected. That afternoon, I understood that money can do more than buy personal treats. It can connect kindness with action. A charity sale may look simple, but behind it are planning, teamwork and trust. Once people work together for others, even small amounts of money can create a big 5 . For me, the most valuable part of the project was not the final number we raised, but the lesson that careful planning gives generosity a stronger 6 . 1．A．weather B．luck C．goods D．rules 2．A．cause B．friend C．habit D．subject 3．A．speed B．purpose C．size D．date 4．A．difference B．choice C．noise D．mistake 5．A．ticket B．change C．bill D．dream 6．A．direction B．voice C．future D．result 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．B 6．B 【导语】本文讲述了英语老师布置了为义卖制定计划的特别项目，起初“我们”小组认为任务简单，但随着讨论深入，发现成功的义卖不仅需要好的商品，还涉及诸多方面，如选择合适的售卖物品、合理定价、设计海报宣传等。在义卖过程中大家紧张又兴奋，最终筹集到超出预期的资金。通过这次活动，“我”明白了金钱不仅能满足个人需求，还能连接善良与行动，义卖背后是规划、团队合作和信任，精心规划能让慷慨更有力量。 1．句意：但我们讨论得越多，就越意识到一次成功的义卖需要的不仅仅是好的商品。 上文提到“We could just bring some old things, put prices on them and wait for people to buy”，原本以为带些旧东西标价售卖就行，但讨论后发现并非如此，这里强调义卖成功需要的不仅仅是好的“商品”，goods“商品”符合语境。weather“天气”、luck“运气”、rules“规则”均与义卖所需的核心要素不相关。 2．句意：我们希望买家觉得他们在得到有意义的东西的同时也在帮助一个好的事业。 前文提到义卖是为了慈善，选择干净、有用且适合学生的物品售卖，目的是帮助一个好的“事业”，cause“事业”符合。friend“朋友”、habit“习惯”、subject“主题”与帮助的对象不符。 3．句意：它反映了价值、买家的需求以及活动的目的。 前文讨论了定价问题，定价不仅要考虑物品状况，还要考虑公平价格，这里说定价反映了价值、买家需求和活动的“目的”，purpose“目的”符合。speed“速度”、size“尺寸”、date“日期”与定价所反映的内容无关。 4．句意：当人们知道他们的钱能产生真正的影响时，他们往往更愿意花钱。 前文提到要解释钱的去向，因为人们知道钱能产生真正的“影响”时才更愿意花钱，make a difference“产生影响”是固定搭配，difference“影响”符合。choice“选择”、noise“噪音”、mistake“错误”均不符合语境。 5．句意：一旦人们为他人共同努力，即使少量的钱也能产生巨大的变化。 前文说钱能连接善良与行动，这里说即使少量钱也能带来巨大“变化”，change“变化”符合。ticket“票”、bill“账单”、dream“梦想”与语境不符。 6．句意：对我来说，这个项目最有价值的部分不是我们筹集的最终数字，而是精心规划让慷慨有了更有力的“声音”。 精心规划能让慷慨更有影响力，就像有了更有力的“声音”，voice“声音”符合语境。direction“方向”、future“未来”、result“结果”均不能准确表达精心规划对慷慨的作用。 话题4 时尚 Passage 1 Fashion is like a language that everyone can understand. It is not just about clothes; it is about culture, art, and ideas. Today, international fashion is becoming more and more global. This means styles from one country 1 quickly become popular in another. For example, a type of hat from Korea might be seen on the streets of London, or a bag from France might be loved by teenagers in New York. The Internet and social media help these styles 2 around the world  fast. Young people especially enjoy 3 different fashion trends and creating their own unique look. However, some people are also thinking about the 4 of “fast fashion”. Fast fashion means producing cheap clothes quickly to follow new trends. But this can be bad for the environment. 5 , many designers  and companies are now trying to make clothes in a more sustainable way. They use recycled materials and make sure the workers are treated fairly. So, when we choose what to wear, we are not just making a fashion statement. We are also making a choice about the kind of world we want to live in. It’s important to remember that real style isn’t just about looking good—it’s about  feeling good and 6 good, too. 1．A．can B．should C．must D．need 2．A．walk B．jump C．travel D．run 3．A．making B．buying C．selling D．mixing 4．A．price B．problem C．time D．size 5．A．Because B．So C．But D．Then 6．A．doing B．eating C．seeing D．tasting 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．B 6．A 【导语】本文讲述了时尚的意义，介绍了国际时尚的全球化趋势，以及快时尚存在的问题和设计师、公司为可持续时尚所做的努力，最后点明真正的时尚不仅关乎外表，还关乎感受和行动。 1．句意：这意味着一个国家的时尚风格可以很快在另一个国家流行起来。 根据上下文，国际时尚越来越全球化，此处表示“能够、可以”，can意为“可以、能够”，符合语境。should表示“应该”，must表示“必须”，need表示“需要”，均不符。 2．句意：互联网和社交媒体帮助这些时尚风格快速传播到世界各地。 结合语境，互联网和社交媒体的作用是让时尚风格在全球传播，travel意为“传播、流传”，符合语境。walk意为“走路”，jump意为“跳跃”，run意为“跑步”，均不符。 3．句意：年轻人尤其喜欢融合不同的时尚潮流，打造自己独特的造型。 根据“creating their own unique look”可知，此处是指将不同潮流结合，mixing意为“融合、混合”，符合语境。making意为“制作”，buying意为“购买”，selling意为“出售”，均不符。 4．句意：然而，一些人也在思考“快时尚”存在的问题。 根据后文“But this can be bad for the environment”可知，此处指快时尚的问题，problem意为“问题”，符合语境。price意为“价格”，time意为“时间”，size意为“尺寸”，均不符。 5．句意：所以，现在许多设计师和公司正努力以更可持续的方式制作服装。 前文提到快时尚对环境有害，后文讲设计师和公司采取可持续的方式，前后是因果关系，So意为“所以”，符合语境。Because表示“因为”（表原因，放句首），But表示“但是”（表转折），Then表示“然后”（表顺承），均不符。 6．句意：重要的是要记住，真正的时尚不仅仅是看起来好看——它还关乎感觉良好和做得好。 结合前文提到的可持续时尚、公平对待工人，此处指“做得好”（做对的事、做好事），doing意为“做”，符合语境。eating意为“吃”，seeing意为“看”，tasting意为“品尝”，均不符。 Passage 2 I remember I went shopping on my first visit to Macau. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having much 1 to enjoy the sun in the United Kingdom and having naturally fair skin, I have very white legs. In the United Kingdom, this is not a fashionable look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun. The 2 the skin is, the better the look will be. As I walked around one shop, two shop assistants couldn’t take their 3 off me the whole time. They were talking quietly in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I 4 about the shop assistants being very rude and always looking at my legs. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed, “They weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. 5 , there are many nice products in the shop to make skin whiter.” It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better. The grass is always greener on the other side of the river. If the women of the West and East 6 the same way, Western women wouldn’t spend so much time bathing in the sun and women from the East wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter. 1．A．mood B．sense C．chance D．money 2．A．darker B．whiter C．smoother D．brighter 3．A．eyes B．sight C．judgement D．attraction 4．A．argued B．discussed C．cried D．complained 5．A．Because B．However C．Although D．Actually 6．A．lived B．thought C．behaved D．learned 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 5．D 6．B 【导语】本文讲述了作者作为皮肤白皙的英国人第一次去澳门购物时，因文化差异误以为店员在嘲笑自己，后来才明白她们是在羡慕她的白皮肤，从而领悟到东西方女性对美的标准不同。 1．句意：在英国没有太多机会享受阳光，而且我天生皮肤白皙，所以我的腿很白。 英国天气多阴雨，阳光少，因此“机会”不多。chance意为“机会”，符合语境。 2．句意：皮肤越黑，看起来越好看。 前文提到英国女性喜欢晒太阳，所以她们追求的是“更黑”的皮肤。darker意为“更黑的”，符合语境。 3．句意：当我逛一家商店时，两个店员一直盯着我看。 take one’s eyes off sb是固定搭配，意为“把目光从某人身上移开”。sight“视力”、judgement“判断”、attraction“吸引力”，均不能构成此搭配。 4．句意：我抱怨店员很粗鲁，一直盯着我的腿看。 前文提到“我感到不舒服，想离开商店”，说明我对店员的行为不满，因此是“抱怨”。complained意为“抱怨”，符合语境。 5．句意：实际上，店里有很多让皮肤变白的好产品。 朋友解释店员并非嘲笑，而是羡慕，并进一步说明“实际上”店里有很多美白产品。Actually意为“实际上”，用于补充说明事实，符合语境。 6．句意：如果东西方的女性想法相同，西方女性就不会花那么多时间晒太阳，东方女性也不需要使用美白霜。 前文核心是东西方审美差异，即西方以黑为美，东方以白为美。本句是虚拟语气，假设 “想法相同” 的情况，因此选 thought（想法，think 的过去式）。 Passage 3 Clothes then and now Today, clothes are made in many different colours. They are also made from many different 1 like wools, cotton, linen and silk. Most people own lots of clothes. Each day, they choose what to wear. Clothes Clothes cover our bodies and protect us from the weather. They can also make us feel good about the way we look. Sometimes, our clothes tell other people 2 about us, such as the work we do or what religion (宗教) we are. People have been wearing clothes for many thousands of years, but the clothes people wore long ago were different from the clothes people wear today. Fashion Fashion means the kinds of clothes that are popular at one time. Ancient Romans wore dresses. Some Romans wore togas (宽外袍)  to special events. Long ago, women in some countries wore corsets under their dresses. Corsets were pulled in tight and tied at the back, so they weren’t 3 to wear. Women wore corsets to make their waists (腰) look smaller. Fashion 4 . It can be different from place to place. However, most people today wear simple clothes that are easy to put on and care for. Clothes need to be 5 for the climate a person lives in, too. Uniforms People have worn uniforms for thousands of years.

To live safely and happily, we need to have a respect for nature and the 1 that shape our world. Think about a volcano. For many years, it can be quiet and peaceful. People might even build villages on its slopes because of the rich soil. But deep under the surface, great heat and pressure are building up. When the force becomes too strong, the mountain can 2 , throwing out hot rocks and ash. This shows us that nature has its own timetable, which doesn’t always match ours. Similarly, when heavy rains pour for days, rivers can rise and 3 their banks. The water can cover roads, farms, and even houses. It seems that nature is reminding us who is really in charge. We cannot stop the rain from falling, but we can learn to understand its patterns and prepare for its power. Building stronger flood walls and not building homes in low-lying areas are wise 4 .   Sometimes, the best thing we can do is simply to stand in awe of nature’s beauty and power. Watching the endless ocean waves, listening to the wind in the mountains, or looking up at the stars on a clear night can make us feel 5 . These feelings help us remember that we are a part of this amazing world, not its masters. Having respect for nature doesn’t mean we are weak. It means we are wise enough to know our limits and smart enough to live in harmony with our planet. By learning, preparing, and admiring, we can build a safer and 6 future for everyone. 1．A．forces B．gardens C．stories D．rules 2．A．disappear B．explode C．arrive D．sleep 3．A．clean B．cross C．follow D．leave 4．A．games B．choices C．dreams D．prizes 5．A．bored and tired B．happy and excited C．small but connected D．strong and powerful 6．A．quieter B．slower C．brighter D．easier 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．C 6．C 【导语】本文讲述我们生活在一个美丽而充满力量的星球上，我们需要敬畏自然、与之和谐共存的道理。 1．句意：为了安全快乐地生活，我们需要敬畏自然以及塑造我们世界的力量。 根据上文提到自然的力量 (powerful) 和下文火山爆发的例子，这里指自然的力量，应用forces“力量”。garden“花园”和stories“故事”不符，rules“规则”虽有一定干扰，但全文强调自然的力量而非规则。 2．句意：当力量变得过于强大时，这座山就会爆发，喷出炽热的岩石和火山灰。 根据下文“throwing out hot rocks and ash”可知是火山爆发，应用explode“爆发”。disappear“消失”和arrive“到达”及sleep“睡觉”逻辑不符。 3．句意：同样，当大雨持续数日时，河水会上涨并漫过堤岸。 根据上下文，河水上涨会漫过堤岸，固定表达leave their banks“河水漫过堤岸”。clean“清理”、cross“穿过”、follow“跟随”均不符。 4．句意：建造更坚固的防洪墙以及不在低洼地区建房是明智的选择。 根据上下文，这些都是应对洪水的明智选择，应用choices“选择”。games“游戏”、dreams“梦想”、prizes“奖励”不符。 5．句意：观看无尽的海洋波浪，聆听山间的风声，或是在晴朗的夜晚仰望星空，会让我们感到渺小但有联系。 根据下文“These feelings help us remember that we are a part of this amazing world, not its masters”可知，这些自然景观让我们感到自己渺小但与之相连，应用small but connected“渺小但有联系”。其他选项与敬畏自然的情感不符。 6．句意：通过学习、准备和欣赏，我们可以为每个人建立一个更安全、更光明的的未来。 根据全文积极向上的基调，应用brighter“更光明的”。quieter“更安静的”、slower“更慢的”、easier“更容易的”不符合全文主旨。 Passage 2 Natural disasters like typhoons and earthquakes affect our lives a lot. When a typhoon hits, strong winds and heavy rain come suddenly. Lisa’s family was driving home 1 the strong winds started. They almost got into an accident. When they got home, water was everywhere. Haitao’s family was better prepared. They covered windows and moved things off the floor 2 the typhoon came. They stored food and water too. When Jenny looked up, thick clouds 3 forming, and the rain 4 beating against the roof. The family ran to the safe room. 5 they were waiting, her sister cried. Dad told her they were like a lion hiding. Soon she laughed again. After the storm, people were asking about safety 6 others were clearing streets. 1．A．when B．while C．because D．so that 2．A．when B．after C．before D．while 3．A．is B．was C．are D．were 4．A．is B．were C．are D．was 5．A．Because B．When C．While D．So that 6．A．while B．when C．because D．so that 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．C 6．A 【导语】本文通过三个家庭的经历，介绍了台风来临时不同应对方式以及台风过后的互助场景。 1．句意：Lisa一家正在开车回家，这时强风开始刮起。 主句动作“were driving”正在进行，从句动作“started”突然发生，应用when“这时”表示一个动作正在进行时另一个动作突然发生。while“当……时”强调两个动作同时进行，because“因为”表原因，so that“以便”表目的，均不符。 2．句意：台风来临前，他们盖好窗户，把东西从地上搬走。 根据动作发生的顺序，覆盖窗户和搬走物品发生在台风“之前”，before“在……之前”符合。when“当……时”、after“在……之后”、while“当……时”与准备工作的先后顺序不符。 3．句意：当Jenny抬头看时，厚厚的云层正在形成，雨正在敲打着屋顶。 主语thick clouds为复数，且描述过去正在进行的动作，应用过去进行时were forming，were符合。is、was、are与主谓一致或时态不符。 4．句意：当Jenny抬头看时，厚厚的云层正在形成，雨正在敲打着屋顶。 主语the rain为第三人称单数，且描述过去正在进行的动作，应用过去进行时was beating，was符合。is、were、are与主谓一致或时态不符。 5．句意：当他们在等待时，她的妹妹哭了。 空处引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时”，且强调动作同时进行，应用While“当……时”。Because“因为”表原因，When“当……时”也表时间但侧重动作先后，So that“以便”表目的，while更强调两个动作同时发生。 6．句意：暴风雨过后，人们在询问安全问题，而其他人则在清理街道。 前后句为并列对比关系，表示一部分人在做一件事，“而”另一部分人在做另一件事，应用while“而，然而”。when“当……时”、because“因为”、so that“以便”，均不能表示对比关系。 Passage 3 Goldie leads the pack of hungry goats ready for their daily work. These animals eat dry plants in forests and fields to help stop wildfires in California. Wildfires are a big danger to parks, communities and open land. They spread fast and burn for weeks or even months. The 1 has become worse in recent years. Goats eat the dry brush that easily catches fire. Targeted grazing (定向放牧) is a smart way to 2 fires before they start. Carl McCosker watches over the goats. He began with only four goats to clear neighbor’s land. Now, his herd (羊群) has grown because many places need their help. Why are there more fires now? Scientists say summers are hotter and winters are 3 . Rain is less common than in the past. Green plants make it hard for fire to start, but dry plants help fires spread. That’s why clearing brush is so important. Carl and his team use movable pens (围栏) called sets to guide the goats. Each set is a certain area that needs clearing. The goats eat the dry plants while the team sets up the next pen. Once the goats finish eating in one set, they 4 the next until the whole area is clear. Carl’s 120 goats work for six months each year. The goats eat from morning until night, like little eating machines. This continuous 5 to eat helps clear land quickly. A group of 100 goats can clear an entire acre—the size of a football field—in just one day. During the rainy season, the goats stay in barns. In spring, new baby goats are born and soon join the work. Carl believes targeted grazing is a natural and low-cost method. What’s more, it is better than using big machines that pollute the air. He works with family, friends, and dogs to protect the goats from wild animals. “There’s no better feeling than knowing you’re making a real difference,” Carl says with a smile. He is 6 to help keep forests and people safe from wildfires. 1．A．attention B．solution C．situation D．position 2．A．prevent B．pretend C．protect D．keep 3．A．wetter B．drier C．colder D．warmer 4．A．look forward to B．go back to C．come up with D．move on to 5．A．arrangement B．amusement C．requirement D．development 6．A．confident B．proud C．excited D．satisfied 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 6．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了利用山羊进行定向放牧以预防加州野火的情况。山羊通过吃干植物来减少火灾风险，这种方法既自然又低成本，且比使用污染空气的大型机器更有效。 1．句意：近年来情况变得更糟了。 attention注意；solution解决办法；situation情况；position位置。根据前文“Wildfires are a big danger to parks, communities and open land.”以及后文“Why are there more fires now?”可知，野火对公园、社区和开阔地构成巨大威胁，且现在火灾更多了，所以此处指的是情况变得更糟了。故选C。 2．句意：定向放牧是在火灾发生前预防火灾的一种明智方法。 prevent阻止；pretend假装；protect保护；keep保持。根据后文“That’s why clearing brush is so important.”可知，清除灌木很重要，结合常识可知，清除灌木可以预防火灾，所以此处指的是预防火灾。故选A。 3．句意：科学家表示，夏天更热，冬天更干燥。 wetter更潮湿的；drier更干燥的；colder更冷的；warmer更温暖的。根据后文“Rain is less common than in the past.”以及“but dry plants help fires spread”可知，雨水比过去少了，干植物有助于火势蔓延，所以此处指的是冬天更干燥。故选B。 4．句意：一旦山羊在一个区域吃完，它们就会转移到下一个区域，直到整个区域都被清理干净。 look forward to期待；go back to回到；come up with想出；move on to转移到。根据后文“until the whole area is clear”可知，直到整个区域都被清理干净，所以此处指的是山羊会转移到下一个区域。故选D。 5．句意：这种持续的进食需求有助于快速清理土地。 arrangement安排；amusement娱乐；requirement需求；development发展。根据前文“The goats eat from morning until night, like little eating machines.”可知，山羊从早吃到晚，就像小型的进食机器，所以此处指的是这种持续的进食需求。故选C。 6．句意：他为能帮助保护森林和人们免受野火侵袭而感到自豪。 confident自信的；proud自豪的；excited兴奋的；satisfied满意的。根据前文“Carl believes targeted grazing is a natural and low-cost method. What’s more, it is better than using big machines that pollute the air.”以及“There’s no better feeling than knowing you’re making a real difference”可知，卡尔认为定向放牧是一种自然且低成本的方法，且比使用污染空气的大型机器更好，能为保护森林和人们免受野火侵袭做出贡献，所以他应该是感到自豪的。故选B。 话题6 友谊 Passage 1 When I was a little child, I was very shy. I was afraid to talk to others. I often felt 1 and lonely. I didn’t know how to 2 my feelings. One day, my teacher talked to me. She told me that I should be confident. She advised me 3 more with my classmates. She said, “ 4 you try your best, you will make many friends.” I followed her advice. I tried to talk to my classmates. At first, I was nervous. 5 I didn’t give up. Little by little, I made some friends. I felt very happy. Now I am outgoing. I know that 6 is important for us. We should learn to deal with our emotions. 1．A．happy B．upset C．excited D．surprised 2．A．deal with B．look for C．turn on D．take off 3．A．talk B．to talk C．talking D．talked 4．A．Although B．Until C．If D．So that 5．A．And B．But C．So D．Or 6．A．happiness B．sadness C．friendship D．independence 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B 6．C 【导语】本文讲述了作者小时候性格内向害羞，在老师的鼓励下学会与人交流，最终变得外向并交到朋友的故事，强调了友谊的重要性以及学会处理情绪的必要性。 1．句意：我经常感到沮丧和孤独。 根据前文“I was very shy. I was afraid to talk to others.”可知作者性格内向，不敢与人交流，这种状态会带来消极情绪。upset“沮丧的”符合语境，与lonely并列。happy“快乐的”、excited“兴奋的”、surprised“惊讶的”均为积极或中性情绪，与上下文不符。 2．句意：我不知道如何处理我的情绪。 前文提到感到沮丧和孤独，这里表达的是不知道如何“应对”这些情绪。deal with“处理、应对”符合文意。look for“寻找”、turn on“打开”、take off“脱下”均不匹配。 3．句意：她建议我多和同学交谈。 动词advise后接不定式作宾语补足语，构成advise sb. to do sth.结构，意为“建议某人做某事”。talk“交谈”为动词原形，talking为动名词，talked为过去式，均不符合语法要求。 4．句意：如果你尽力，你会交到很多朋友。 “you try your best”是“you will make many friends”的条件，应用if引导条件状语从句。Although“虽然”表让步，Until“直到”表时间，So that“以便”表目的，均不符合逻辑关系。 5．句意：起初我很紧张，但我没有放弃。 前句说紧张，后句说没有放弃，两者之间存在转折关系，应用But。And“和”表并列，So“所以”表因果，Or“否则”表选择，均不恰当。 6．句意：我知道友谊对我们很重要。 全文围绕作者从害羞到交到朋友的变化展开，最后感悟到“友谊”的重要性。friendship“友谊”符合主题。happiness“幸福”、sadness“悲伤”、independence“独立”均不能概括文章核心。 Passage 2 Dealing with Emotions Everyone has emotions, and learning to 1 them is an important part of growing up. Last term, I had a big argument with my best friend, Lily. She borrowed my favorite storybook but forgot to return it. When I asked for it, she said she had lost it. I was so 2 that I shouted at her. We didn’t talk to each other for weeks. I felt really 3 during that time. My mother noticed my sadness and told me that 4 it’s normal to be angry, we shouldn’t say hurtful things to our friends. She advised me to put myself in Lily’s shoes. Maybe she didn’t lose the book on purpose. I decided to 5 my fear of being refused and talk to Lily. When I called her, she apologized (道歉) immediately (立刻地). She said she had found the book and felt too ashamed to tell me. We cleared the air and became friends again. This experience taught me that communication is the key to solving problems. It also made me realize that 6 we face conflicts, being patient and understanding can help us stay positive. 1．A．hide B．deal with C．show D．forget 2．A．happy B．angry C．scared D．lonely 3．A．upset B．excited C．relaxed D．proud 4．A．until B．unless C．although D．as soon as 5．A．get over B．give up C．run away D．laugh at 6．A．before B．when C．after D．since 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．A 6．B 【导语】本文讲述了作者和最好的朋友Lily发生争执后，在妈妈的劝说下，学会处理情绪、主动沟通，最终和好如初的经历，告诉我们沟通是解决问题的关键，面对冲突时要耐心和理解。 1．句意：每个人都有情绪，学会处理它们是成长中重要的一部分。 结合下文作者处理和朋友的矛盾、学习应对情绪的经历，可知此处需填表示“处理、应对”的短语。hide“隐藏”、show“展示”、forget“忘记”均不符合语境，deal with“处理、应对”，符合上下文逻辑。 2．句意：我非常生气，以至于对她大喊大叫。 根据前文“Lily借了作者最喜欢的故事书却弄丢了”，以及后文“shouted at her”的语境，可知此处需填表示“生气的”形容词。happy“开心的”、scared“害怕的”、lonely“孤独的”均不符，angry“生气的”，符合语境。 3．句意：在那段时间里，我感到非常难过。 根据前文“作者和Lily几周不说话”，以及后文“妈妈注意到我的悲伤”的语境，可知此处需填表示“难过的、沮丧的”形容词。excited“兴奋的”、relaxed“放松的”、proud“骄傲的”均不符，upset“难过的、沮丧的”，符合语境。 4．句意：我妈妈注意到我的悲伤，告诉我虽然生气是正常的，但我们不应该对朋友说伤人的话。 结合句意，前半句“生气正常”和后半句“不应该说伤人的话”是转折关系，此处需填表转折的连词。until“直到”、unless“除非”、as soon as“一……就……”均不符，although“虽然、尽管”，表转折，符合逻辑。 5．句意：我决定克服被拒绝的恐惧，和Lily谈谈。 结合下文作者主动给Lily打电话、两人和好的语境，可知此处需填表示“克服、战胜”的短语。give up“放弃”、run away“逃跑”、laugh at“嘲笑”均不符，get over“克服、战胜”，符合语境。 6．句意：它也让我意识到，当我们面对冲突时，耐心和理解能帮助我们保持积极。 结合句意，此处指“面对冲突的时候”，需填表时间的连词。before“在……之前”、after“在……之后”、since“自从”均不符，when“当……的时候”，符合逻辑。 Passage 3 An unlikely friendship In a small American town, two very different girls found friendship in the most unexpected way. Sarah was the school’s best student who always sat in the front row, while Emma was known for her art skills but struggled with her studies. At first, they 1 each other because they thought they had nothing in common. Sarah thought Emma was casual about schoolwork, and Emma found Sarah too serious. They never spoke until their teacher paired them for a science project. The project required building a model volcano. Sarah had all the research facts, but she couldn’t design an attractive model. Emma had great creative ideas but didn’t understand the science behind volcanoes. They realised they needed to work together 2 they could succeed. Their attempts were difficult at first. Sarah wanted everything perfect, while Emma liked to experiment. After several failed attempts, they finally learned to listen to each other. Sarah explained the scientific principles, and Emma showed how to make the model look realistic. The project became much 3 when they combined their strengths. When Sarah felt stressed about the presentation, Emma would 4 to help her practice. When Emma struggled with the written report, Sarah patiently helped her organise the information. On the presentation day, their volcano model was both scientifically accurate and beautifully designed. When they received the top grade, Emma turned to Sarah and said 5 , “We did it together!” Their success wasn’t just about the grade—it was about discovering how their differences made them stronger. Their friendship grew beyond the project. They still had different interests, but they now appreciate what made each other unique. Their story shows that true friendship isn’t about being the same—it’s about the special 6 that forms when we accept and value our differences. 1．A．helped B．avoided C．followed D．praised 2．A．if B．because C．unless D．so 3．A．harder B．easier C．longer D．smaller 4．A．refuse B．forget C．offer D．fear 5．A．sadly B．proudly C．angrily D．quietly 6．A．competition B．argument C．distance D．connection 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．B 6．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了两个性格和学习情况截然不同的美国女孩Sarah和Emma，通过合作完成科学项目，发现了彼此差异带来的力量，进而建立了深厚友谊的故事。 1．句意：起初，她们彼此回避，因为她们认为自己没有共同之处。 根据“because they thought they had nothing in common”可知，她们认为自己没有共同之处，所以会彼此回避。“avoid”表示“回避，避开”，符合语境。“help”表示“帮助”，“follow”表示“跟随”，“praise”表示“赞扬”，均不符合她们因没有共同之处而保持距离的语境。 2．句意：她们意识到，如果通力合作，能取得成功。 根据“they needed to work together”和“they could succeed”可知，前后是条件关系，即如果想要成功就需要一起合作。“if”引导条件状语从句，表示“如果”，符合语境。“because”引导原因状语从句，表示“因为”；“unless”引导条件状语从句，表示“除非”；“so”表示“所以”，均不符合此处条件关系的语境。 3．句意：当她们结合了各自的优势时，这个项目变得容易多了。 根据“when they combined their strengths”可知，结合各自优势后项目会变得更容易。“easier”是“easy”的比较级，表示“更容易的”，符合语境。“harder”表示“更难的”，“longer”表示“更长的”，“smaller”表示“更小的”，均不符合结合优势后项目变容易的语境。 4．句意：当Sarah对展示感到有压力时，Emma会主动提出帮她练习。 根据“to help her practice”可知，Emma会主动提出帮助Sarah练习。“offer to do sth.”表示“主动提出做某事”，符合语境。“refuse”表示“拒绝”，“forget”表示“忘记”，“fear”表示“害怕”，均不符合主动提供帮助的语境。 5．句意：当她们获得最高分时，Emma转向Sarah，自豪地说：“我们一起做到了！” 根据“We did it together!”可知，她们成功获得了最高分，Emma此时应该是自豪的。“proudly”是副词，表示“自豪地”，可修饰动词“said”，符合语境。“sadly”表示“悲伤地”，“angrily”表示“生气地”，“quietly”表示“安静地”，均不符合成功后的情绪状态。 6．句意：她们的故事表明，真正的友谊不在于相同——而在于当我们接受和珍视我们的差异时所形成的特殊联系。 根据“that forms when we accept and value our differences”可知，当我们接受和珍视差异时会形成一种特殊的联系。“connection”表示“联系”，符合语境。“competition”表示“竞争”，“argument”表示“争论”，“distance”表示“距离”，均不符合接受差异后形成特殊联系的语境。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
