“short video”首次提及且表泛指,short以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。根据语境,此处表示“一个”视频。
【3题详解】
句意:她告诉粉丝中国人是如何度过冬天的。
told sb. about后接宾语从句,从句中live through winter意思完整,连接词应表达“方式/方法”,即“如何度过冬天”,用how。
【4题详解】

“do what they can...like Chinese people”中what they can是宾语从句,后接不定式表目的,即“为了像中国人一样生活”,用to live。
【9题详解】
句意:他们更喜欢熟蔬菜而不是生沙拉菜。
“prefer...vegetables to raw salad greens”中,空格修饰vegetables,与raw(生的)形成对比,应是“熟的”—cooked(过去分词作形容词)。

enjoy doing sth是固定搭配,意为喜欢做某事,后接动名词,选practicing。

Winter Solstice (冬至) is Amy’s favorite day of the year. Guests at her house enjoy songs and stories well into the night.
But Amy’s favorite part has always been making snow angels with Grandpa at noon. When they were standing over the angels, their shadows would look like two skinny huge men with wings.
But this year is different. One shadow is missing. Amy feels very sad.
Uncle Bert has arrived. He greets Amy with a hug. “Amaze us with your violin tonight, Amy?”
Amy holds her breath. Her violin reminds her of Grandpa. She hasn’t picked it up for weeks.
“You know Amy doesn’t like a listener, Bert,” says Amy’s mom.
“Kids change,” Uncle Bert smiles. “I have a gift for you, Amy.” He hands Amy a case.
“It’s Grandpa’s violin.” Amy opens the case. She touches the familiar image of a sun carved into the violin’s neck, fingering the song Grandpa taught her. Grandpa said ancient people thought the earth was flat and the sun stood still on Winter Solstice.
Amy feels her heart stands still. How can we have solstice without Grandpa’s song?
The sun starts setting. All guests have arrived, talking and laughing. For a moment, Amy thinks she hears Grandpa’s voice. But it’s only Uncle Bert sounding like him.
Soon, it turns dark. Dad starts the bonfire. The celebration will begin.
Grandpa was always first. When the bonfire began, he’d step onto the chair and play his favorite song, Sweet Angels Come Nearer. Amy would get a warm feeling.
Amy knows the sun will start rising and setting tomorrow, but she feels lost without Grandpa’s song. Someone needs to play it. But who will?
Dad tells a story. Aunt Bea sings. Simon reads a poem. In a moment of quiet, Amy’s hand shoots into the air.
“Amy? You’d like to share, too?” Dad asked.
She steps up onto the chair, hands shaking. She takes a breath and turns her back to the fire, imagining no one is watching. One shaky note. Another. She imagines Grandpa playing the same violin. Her notes become stronger.
As she plays, a voice rises behind her, singing the words to Grandpa’s song. It’s Uncle Bert. Mom joins in. Then Dad, Simon, Aunt Bea.
Voices enlarge. Grandpa’s violin rises. Amy feels the love of her family encircle her, warm like sunshine.
29. What can be inferred about Amy before Uncle Bert’s arrival?
A. She avoided playing the violin to keep her painful memories asleep.
B. She wanted to show her progress in violin to the guests.
C. She found it too difficult to play the violin without Grandpa’s help.
D. She was waiting for a better violin to replace her old one.
30. How long did Amy’s struggle in her mind last on that day?
A. From the moment she made snow angels until the bonfire started.
B. From Uncle Bert’s arrival until she finally stood onto the chair.
C. From the start of the songs until Dad told a story.
D. From the sun setting until the voices of her family enlarged.
31. Why did Amy’s notes become “stronger” during her performance?
A. She realized that Uncle Bert’s voice was exactly like Grandpa’s.
B. She was pretending that no one was watching her in the quiet hall.
C. The sun image on the violin’s neck gave her physical strength.
D. She connected with Grandpa’s spirit through their shared instrument.
32. Which of the following best describes the “warmth” Amy felt in the end?
A. The heat coming from the bonfire started by her father.
B. The excitement of becoming the center of that night.
C. The power of family support and cultural heritage.

China will officially start a brand-new spring break for primary and junior high school students across the country in 2026. Different from traditional festivals and holidays, this special vacation is made to give teenagers more time to relax and free themselves from heavy schoolwork.
A number of provinces, such as Sichuan, Jiangsu and Anhui, have already worked out clear plans for the spring break. All over the country, the holiday lasts two to three days.

At the same time, it gives students a good chance for family gatherings and short trips. Besides, many local museums and scenic spots offer free entry to student visitors during the break, to encourage more students to go outside and take part in outdoor activities.
This new holiday policy (政策) fully shows the great progress in China’s education development. We are also deeply thankful to our motherland, which brings Chinese people a more colorful, healthier and happier life.

【35题详解】
第三段“Besides, many local museums and scenic spots offer free entry to student visitors during the break”介绍了许多当地博物馆和景点春假期间对学生游客提供免费入场,这属于政府推出的配套举措,并非春假设立的目的。
【36题详解】
根据最后一段“This new holiday policy fully shows the great progress...healthier and happier life.”可知,春假体现了教育发展的进步,作者也表达了感激之情,可见作者对该政策持积极、支持的态度。

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in telling facial expressions, and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features (特征) to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, while Easterners focus on the eyes and neglect the mouth.”
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex (复杂的) than we believed. As a result, facial expressions that were considered universally recognizable cannot be used to express feelings in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people when they looked at pictures of expressive faces carefully and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, angry, or neutral. Researchers then compared how correctly they read those facial expressions using particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made many more mistakes than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection (反映) of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that while Westerners use the whole face to express feelings, Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth less.”
In short, the data show facial expressions don’t mean the same emotions everywhere. Learning how culture shapes these social skills helps us understand human feelings. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
37. What does Jack’s research show?
A. Westerners pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth.
B. Facial expressions are similar in cross-cultural situations.
C. Easterners are better at reading facial expressions.
D. Human communication of emotion mainly depends on eyes.
38. What does the underlined word “neglect” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Pay more attention to. B. Not take care of.
C. Consider unimportant. D. Fail to notice.
39. What were the people asked to do in the study?
A. They were asked to make a face at each other.
B. They were asked to tell different facial expressions.
C. They were asked to record their eye movements.
D. They were asked to draw pictures of expressive faces.
40. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. The eye as the window to the soul
B. Cultural differences in reading emotions
C. Effective methods for communication
D. Different ways to show emotions
【答案】37. A 38. D 39. B 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了一项发表在《当代生物学》上的新研究,揭示了东亚人和西方人在识别面部情绪表情时存在的文化差异:西方人会均匀观察整张脸,同等关注眼睛与嘴巴;而东亚人更关注眼睛,更少关注嘴巴,该研究表明人类情绪交流比原本认知的更复杂,面部情绪表达并非跨文化通用。
【37题详解】
第三段指出:“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure”,说明西方人同等关注眼睛和嘴巴。
【38题详解】
第三段指出:前文“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure”指出西方人同等关注眼睛和嘴巴,划线单词所在句“while Easterners focus on the eyes and neglect the mouth.”,转折后说明东方人关注眼睛,忽略嘴巴,可推知neglect含义为“没注意到、忽略”,与“fail to notice”(没注意到)意思最接近。
【39题详解】
第五段指出:“The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition...when they looked at pictures of expressive faces carefully and put them into categories”,实验中是研究者记录被试的眼球运动,要求被试观察不同表情的人脸图片,并将图片按情绪分类,即要求被试辨别区分不同的面部表情。
【40题详解】
全文核心围绕不同文化背景人群在读取情绪面部表情的差异展开,对应B选项的表达。

Many middle schools in China have set up different kinds of clubs for students in recent years. Students can choose to join one or two clubs that interest them after daily classes. Some people believe that club activities only take up study time. ____41____ In fact, proper club experience can benefit teenagers in many ways.
Joining a school club allows students to learn skills which they cannot get from textbook learning.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。围绕学校社团的价值展开,驳斥了社团活动只占用学习时间的观点,从技能培养、团队合作、丰富生活等多个角度论证社团活动对青少年全面发展的重要性,最后以社团价值远超课后娱乐总结升华。
【41题详解】
由空格前句“Some people believe that club activities only take up study time.”和空格后句“In fact, proper club experience can benefit teenagers in many ways.”可知,空格需要一个承上启下的转折句,既承接上文的”错误观点”,又引出下文的驳斥。选项E“However, this view only focuses on grades and ignores students’ all-round growth.”正是对前文观点的反驳,However表示转折与“In fact”形成逻辑推进。
【42题详解】
空格前文举例说明了参加社团可以画画、打球、做实验——即”丰富的具体体验”;空格后句“They will also learn to follow rules and finish their tasks on time”以also承接,说明除了上述体验之外还有其他收获。选项D“These rich experiences help them develop hobbies and improve themselves.”既承接前文具体例子,又为后文also做过渡。
【43题详解】
空格为段落首句,起总起作用,后文“When students work together...work as a team.”表明:本段核心是团队合作与沟通技能。选项A“Students can learn teamwork and communication skills as well.”可作为段落主题句,引出下文。
【44题详解】
空格前文说明社团生活带来的快乐是普通课堂中无法轻易感受到的,空格处作本段收尾。选项B“Such happy feeling makes their middle school days more meaningful.”承接前文描述的快乐,自然收束本段。

53. 梁靖崑在压力之下保持冷静并赢得了比赛。
Liang Jingkun ________ ________ under pressure and won the match.
【答案】 ①. stayed##kept ②. calm

________ ________ the fans’ support was!
【答案】 ①. How ②. moving

Winter Solstice (冬至) is Amy’s favorite day of the year. Guests at her house enjoy songs and stories well into the night.
But Amy’s favorite part has always been making snow angels with Grandpa at noon. When they were standing over the angels, their shadows would look like two skinny huge men with wings.
But this year is different. One shadow is missing. Amy feels very sad.
Uncle Bert has arrived. He greets Amy with a hug. “Amaze us with your violin tonight, Amy?”
Amy holds her breath. Her violin reminds her of Grandpa. She hasn’t picked it up for weeks.
“You know Amy doesn’t like a listener, Bert,” says Amy’s mom.
“Kids change,” Uncle Bert smiles. “I have a gift for you, Amy.” He hands Amy a case.
“It’s Grandpa’s violin.” Amy opens the case. She touches the familiar image of a sun carved into the violin’s neck, fingering the song Grandpa taught her. Grandpa said ancient people thought the earth was flat and the sun stood still on Winter Solstice.
Amy feels her heart stands still. How can we have solstice without Grandpa’s song?
The sun starts setting. All guests have arrived, talking and laughing. For a moment, Amy thinks she hears Grandpa’s voice. But it’s only Uncle Bert sounding like him.
Soon, it turns dark. Dad starts the bonfire. The celebration will begin.
Grandpa was always first. When the bonfire began, he’d step onto the chair and play his favorite song, Sweet Angels Come Nearer. Amy would get a warm feeling.
Amy knows the sun will start rising and setting tomorrow, but she feels lost without Grandpa’s song. Someone needs to play it. But who will?
Dad tells a story. Aunt Bea sings. Simon reads a poem. In a moment of quiet, Amy’s hand shoots into the air.
“Amy? You’d like to share, too?” Dad asked.
She steps up onto the chair, hands shaking. She takes a breath and turns her back to the fire, imagining no one is watching. One shaky note. Another. She imagines Grandpa playing the same violin. Her notes become stronger.
As she plays, a voice rises behind her, singing the words to Grandpa’s song. It’s Uncle Bert. Mom joins in. Then Dad, Simon, Aunt Bea.
Voices enlarge. Grandpa’s violin rises. Amy feels the love of her family encircle her, warm like sunshine.
29. What can be inferred about Amy before Uncle Bert’s arrival?
A. She avoided playing the violin to keep her painful memories asleep.
B. She wanted to show her progress in violin to the guests.
C. She found it too difficult to play the violin without Grandpa’s help.
D. She was waiting for a better violin to replace her old one.

B. From Uncle Bert’s arrival until she finally stood onto the chair.
C. From the start of the songs until Dad told a story.
D. From the sun setting until the voices of her family enlarged.

China will officially start a brand-new spring break for primary and junior high school students across the country in 2026. Different from traditional festivals and holidays, this special vacation is made to give teenagers more time to relax and free themselves from heavy schoolwork.
A number of provinces, such as Sichuan, Jiangsu and Anhui, have already worked out clear plans for the spring break. All over the country, the holiday lasts two to three days. To make better use of the holiday time, some local schools plan it right before the Qingming Festival, while others put it together with the May Day holiday. In this way, students can enjoy a longer vacation of up to eight days.
The new spring break is more than just a time for rest. It helps students get close to nature and reduce their study pressure effectively. At the same time, it gives students a good chance for family gatherings and short trips. Besides, many local museums and scenic spots offer free entry to student visitors during the break, to encourage more students to go outside and take part in outdoor activities.
This new holiday policy (政策) fully shows the great progress in China’s education development. We are also deeply thankful to our motherland, which brings Chinese people a more colorful, healthier and happier life.
33. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A new holiday policy. B. The call of nature.
C. The development of education. D. Good news for students.
34. What can be inferred about the new spring break from Paragraph 2?

C. Surprised and disappointed. D. Positive and supportive.

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in telling facial expressions, and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features (特征) to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, while Easterners focus on the eyes and neglect the mouth.”
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex (复杂的) than we believed. As a result, facial expressions that were considered universally recognizable cannot be used to express feelings in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people when they looked at pictures of expressive faces carefully and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, angry, or neutral. Researchers then compared how correctly they read those facial expressions using particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made many more mistakes than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection (反映) of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that while Westerners use the whole face to express feelings, Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth less.”
In short, the data show facial expressions don’t mean the same emotions everywhere. Learning how culture shapes these social skills helps us understand human feelings. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
37. What does Jack’s research show?
A. Westerners pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth.
B. Facial expressions are similar in cross-cultural situations.
C. Easterners are better at reading facial expressions.
D. Human communication of emotion mainly depends on eyes.
38. What does the underlined word “neglect” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Pay more attention to. B. Not take care of.
C. Consider unimportant. D. Fail to notice.
39. What were the people asked to do in the study?
A. They were asked to make a face at each other.
B. They were asked to tell different facial expressions.
C. They were asked to record their eye movements.
D. They were asked to draw pictures of expressive faces.
40. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. The eye as the window to the soul
B. Cultural differences in reading emotions
C. Effective methods for communication
D. Different ways to show emotions
