【1题详解】
句意:厨房里温暖的空气让我感到快乐和兴奋,因为我知道美味即将来临。
根据前后文逻辑关系,感到兴奋是知道有美食的缘故,表因果关系用because。unless“除非”;but但是;though虽然,均逻辑不通。
【2题详解】
句意:我仍然记得我真正开始喜欢妈妈做饭的那一天。
根据下文“As a kid, I was a picky eater”提到以前挑食,此处强调转折点,really“真正地”表示强调。simply简单地;hardly几乎不;widely广泛地,均不符合语境。
【3题详解】
句意:小时候我是个挑食的人,不喜欢尝试新食物。

【6题详解】
句意:味道像在我的舌头上跳舞一样完美地交织在一起,我很喜欢。
此处运用拟人手法,danced“和……共舞”形容味道搭配和谐美妙。changed改变;fought打架;travelled旅行,均无法表达这种美感。
【7题详解】
句意:多年来,我看过她做饭很多次。
根据下文描述观察到的细节,此处指观看妈妈做饭,watched“观看”符合语境。guessed猜;touched触碰;followed跟随,均不符合观察的语境。
【8题详解】
句意:她总是关注小事情。
根据下文尝酱汁、加盐等细节可知,此处指关注细微之处,little“小的”符合语境。usual通常的;wrong错误的;common普通的,均不能体现细节关注。
【9题详解】
句意:我注意到她在使用酱汁前是如何品尝的,或者如果需要的话只加一点点盐。

【10题详解】
句意:我注意到她在使用酱汁前是如何品尝的,或者如果需要的话只加一点点盐。

【11题详解】
句意:她喜欢让食物看起来和吃起来一样好。
根据前文“place the food nicely on the plate”摆盘,指视觉外观,look“看起来”符合语境。sound听起来;feel感觉;seem似乎,均与摆盘无关。
【12题详解】
句意:我爱这种味道,也爱每道菜带来的回忆。
根据下文“My favorite memory”可知,此处指回忆,memories“回忆”符合语境。wishes祝愿;rules规则;problems问题,均与下文提示不符。
【13题详解】
句意:我最喜欢的回忆是假期在厨房帮妈妈。
根据做饭场景,地点应在厨房,kitchen“厨房”符合逻辑。study书房;garden花园;bedroom卧室,均不是做饭的地点。
【14题详解】
句意:这些时刻教给我的不仅仅是烹饪。
根据下文“showed me patience”可知,这些经历教会了作者道理,taught“教”符合语境。cost花费;presented展现;stopped停止,均不符合教育意义。
【15题详解】
句意:它们向我展示了耐心和用爱制作东西的快乐。
根据全文温馨基调及文章首句中“comforting”可知,此处指用爱烹饪,love“爱”符合语境。calm冷静;surprise惊喜;fear恐惧,均与文章基调及情感色彩不符。

I interviewed three people about how they help trees in their everyday life. This is what they told me.
Yang (a student)
One basic way to help trees is to plant one, but it is not easy to keep it healthy. There are different kinds of trees in my grandpa’s garden. He said that before we could care for trees, we must know their needs. He taught me to cut off some of the branches from a tree so that it would grow better and stronger. “Water effectively,” he said, “and don’t forget to put old leaves around the tree to protect its roots.”
Mrs Liu (a factory worker)
We can all help trees by saving paper. When people come to ask me how to protect trees, I always tell them printing less paper can be a good start. Do you usually write on only one side of a piece of paper? You can write your shopping list on the other side. If you are a book lover, you can buy second-hand books or just choose e-books. And of course, paying online is an excellent way to save a lot of paper over the years!
Mr Wu (a teacher)
Believe it or not, eating less meat can be a great help for trees. I read in a newspaper article that factory-farmed animals require a ton of space to eat plants and this often leads to the damage of the forest, so I tell my students that they don’t have to become a vegetarian like me, but trying a day without meat every week will help protect the trees out there.
19. What does Yang think we should do before taking care of trees?
A. Water the trees properly every day. B. Use old leaves to protect tree roots.
C. Learn about the basic needs of trees first. D. Cut some branches to make trees stronger.
20. What can we learn from Mrs Liu’s words?
A. Reading e-books helps save paper. B. Shopping online uses more paper.
C. Factory farming is good for forests. D. Buying second-hand books wastes paper.
21. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To tell people to eat less meat every week.
B. To show how to look after trees in a garden.
C. To explain why trees are important to our earth.
D. To introduce three easy ways to protect trees in daily life.
【答案】19. C 20. A 21. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要通过采访三位不同身份的人(学生、工厂工人、老师),介绍了他们在日常生活中保护树木的三种不同方法:照顾树木、节约用纸和减少吃肉。
【19题详解】
根据“Yang”部分提到的“He said that before we could care for trees, we must know their needs.”可知Yang认为在照顾树木前应先了解树木的基本需求。
【20题详解】
根据“Mrs Liu”部分提到的“If you are a book lover, you can buy second-hand books or just choose e-books.”以及“paying online is an excellent way to save a lot of paper”可知选择电子书和网上支付有助于节约纸张。
【21题详解】
文章开头第一段明确指出“I interviewed three people about how they help trees in their everyday life.”可知作者采访了三个人关于他们如何在日常生活中帮助树木的情况,随后分别列举了三个人的具体做法。因此,文章的主要目的是介绍三种在日常生活中保护树木的简单方法。

Have you ever wondered why some running shoes and bikes are so light and strong? They probably use a special material called carbon fiber (碳纤维), which is also found in some parts of modern planes. It is changing our life in many ways, and China just made a big new step in its development. On March 11, 2026, China unveiled (发布) the world’s first T1200-grade carbon fiber. This shows China’s great progress in advanced materials.
T1200 carbon fiber was developed by China National Building Material Group. It is one of the best technologies today. This black material is thinner than one-tenth of a human hair. But it is 10 times stronger than common steel, and only a quarter of its weight. Most importantly, unlike steel, it is made of carbon, it never rusts (生锈), even in wet places or environments. Because it is light, strong and rust-proof, it is widely used in many high-tech areas, including sixth-generation fighter planes, low-altitude (低空) aircraft and humanoid robots. It helps solve big material problems for modern machines.
However, it is not easy to make this material in large numbers. It needs very good fibers, strict control, high-temperature heating and special machines. It also needs smart cost control. Making a lot of
this material needs many resources and high energy. Now China has built a strong system that connects market needs, new technology and industrial support. And China has become the first country to produce T1200 carbon fiber at the 100-ton level.
New materials are very important for new industries. They are key to our country’s scientific and technological development. T1200 carbon fiber shows Chinese creativity and modern technology. As it develops further, it will bring more changes to our lives and help us build a better future.
22. What’s the purpose of the writer’s question at the beginning of the passage?
A. To test the readers’ knowledge. B. To introduce the topic of carbon fiber.
C. To show his interest in running shoes. D. To compare different kinds of materials.
23. What advantage does T1200 carbon fiber have over common steel?
A. It’s stronger, lighter and longer-lasting. B. It uses less energy and time in production.
C. It’s thinner and easier to get in daily life. D. It has a much simpler production process.
24. What makes it difficult to produce T1200 carbon fiber in large numbers?
A. The material is too light. B. Costs can’t be controlled.
C. It has many strict requirements. D. Temperature can’t be too high.
25. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. History of all new kinds of materials.
B. T1200’s advantages and China’s progress.
C. Differences between carbon fiber and steel.
D. Importance of producing T1200 carbon fiber.
【答案】22. B 23. A 24. C 25. B

“You look very serious this morning, Gary,” said his mum.
“I was thinking about how to get into the Academy (学院),” said Gary.
“But it’s too late now, isn’t it?” said his dad.
“I can take the test again in six weeks, but if I pass, I’ll have to pay. It says so on this application form,” said Gary.
“Let me have a look,” said Dad. His dad examined the form. He frowned when he looked at the list of fees.
“What do you think?” he said, passing the form to Gary’s mum. She frowned too when she saw the cost.
“Sorry, son,” said Gary’s dad, “we just can’t afford it.”

Did you have this experience before? In class, you just know the teacher will ask you to answer a question, even before she calls your name. ____36____ It is different from our five basic senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Scientists are still trying to understand how it works, so it remains mysterious.
Sometimes you suddenly think of a friend, and then he calls you right away. ____37____ Some people have a strong feeling that something good or bad will happen soon. Others, especially twins or close family members, can sometimes sense what the other person is thinking or feeling. Have you ever felt that somebody was watching you, but when you turned around, nobody was there? That is also a kind of sixth sense.
____38____ There are different opinions. Some scientists think our brain notices and processes small details around us that we do not see, and it uses this information to give us a feeling. For example, maybe the teacher often looks at you before asking you a question, so your brain learns this pattern. Some people say that maybe we just imagine it or it is simply a coincidence (巧合). ____39____
For most people, these special feelings do not happen often and it is unnecessary to worry about them. ____40____ It might be a good idea to talk to someone about it.
A. Why do we have these feelings?
B. This special feeling is known as the sixth sense.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了山东村民周庆贵儿时因家境贫寒,靠家人支持才得以求学,后来成为大学教师,回乡创办公益图书馆,用书籍改变乡村孩子命运的故事。
【46题详解】
句意:当周庆贵十岁时,他的家里不够富裕,无法供他上学。结合下文“His mother borrowed money”,说明家庭经济条件达不到供他上学的标准;not rich enough意为“不够富裕”,符合语境。
【47题详解】
句意:他的母亲借钱,他的哥哥姐姐放弃了学业来帮助家里。家庭不富裕,母亲借钱供他上学,哥哥姐姐为分担压力只能中断学业;give up意为“放弃”,符合语境,故事发生在过去,需用一般过去时gave up。
【48题详解】
句意:2021年,他回到村子,发现很多孩子没有安静的地方读书。读书需要安静的环境,而下文提到“The children spent too much time on phones and games.”,说明村里没有能静心阅读的场所;quiet是形容词,修饰名词place,表示“安静的地方”,符合语境。
【49题详解】
句意:他们没有远大的梦想,因为他们身边从来没有见过大学生。前半句“They did not dream big”是结果,后半句“they never saw college students around them”是原因,二者为因果关系;because引导原因状语从句,逻辑通顺。
【50题详解】
句意:他七十岁的父亲现在在那里做志愿者,还有退休教师也在帮忙。下文提到“They organize books and guide children.”,说明父亲在图书馆帮忙;主语“His 70-year-old father ”是第三人称单数,now表示当前的状态,可用一般现在时works或现在进行时is working。
【51题详解】
句意:周庆贵每周都会上线上课。上文提到“Zhou became a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.”,可知他平时不在村里,课程只能以线上形式开展;online意为“线上的”,修饰名词lessons,表示“线上课程”,符合语境。
【52题详解】
句意:放假期间,他会回村里和孩子们聊学习计划以及未来的工作。聊“study plans”的同时,自然会延伸到孩子未来的发展;future jobs意为“未来的工作”,契合“帮孩子规划人生”的语境。
【53题详解】
句意:现在,学生们离开前都会打扫卫生。上文提到“In the beginning, children littered in the library.”,周庆贵教育他们要懂礼貌,所以后来孩子们会主动整理环境;clean up意为“打扫、清理”,主语students是复数,描述现在的习惯用一般现在时,符合语境。
【54题详解】
句意:2024年,当十四个村里的学生考上大学时,周庆贵非常开心。句子描述“Zhou was very happy”的时间节点是“fourteen village students entered college”,when引导时间状语从句,表示“当……的时候”,逻辑通顺。
【55题详解】
句意:他计划在其他村子再开两到三家图书馆。上文提到“They turned Zhou’s old house into a library.”,这个图书馆帮助了很多孩子,所以他想扩大规模;two or three more后接可数名词复数,library需变为libraries,符合语境。

【导语】本文主要讲述了“指鹿为马”的典故,告诫人们要诚实、独立思考,恐惧和盲从会导致严重的后果。
【56题详解】
句意:为了让其他官员听从他,他想出了一个主意。固定结构make sb. do sth.(使/让某人做某事),空格填动词原形。结合历史背景以及首字母提示可知,赵高想让百官顺从自己,follow sb.表示“听从、追随某人”。

【59题详解】
句意:如果他们说出真相,就可能惹怒赵高。根据首字母提示以及固定搭配tell the truth意为“说实话、道出真相”可知,定冠词the后接名词truth“真相”。
【60题详解】
句意:于是,他们都保持沉默。根据首字母提示可知,此处应为keep quiet意为“保持安静、闭口不言”,固定搭配。官员左右为难,所以不敢说话,填形容词quiet“安静”。
【61题详解】
句意:赵高看着众人,大声地问道:“你们看它圆圆的身子、细细的腿、尖尖的耳朵、厚厚的尾巴,这难道不是一匹马吗?”此处修饰动词asked,需要用副词。结合语境以及首字母提示可知,赵高故意大声施压,loudly“大声地”符合句意。

【64题详解】
句意:而皇帝彻底糊涂了,开始怀疑自己。begin to do sth.后接动词原形。根据上下文语境以及首字母提示可知,众人说法不一,皇帝分不清对错,开始怀疑自己的判断,doubt“怀疑”符合语境。
【65题详解】
句意:没有人有勇气反对他。定冠词the后接名词。根据上下文语境以及首字母提示可知,此处表示“没有勇气”,have the courage to do sth.“有勇气做某事”,为固定搭配。

The Power of Small Kindness
A small act of kindness can make a big difference. For me, that power came from a stranger I met on my way home.

I interviewed three people about how they help trees in their everyday life. This is what they told me.
Yang (a student)
One basic way to help trees is to plant one, but it is not easy to keep it healthy. There are different kinds of trees in my grandpa’s garden. He said that before we could care for trees, we must know their needs. He taught me to cut off some of the branches from a tree so that it would grow better and stronger. “Water effectively,” he said, “and don’t forget to put old leaves around the tree to protect its roots.”
Mrs Liu (a factory worker)
We can all help trees by saving paper. When people come to ask me how to protect trees, I always tell them printing less paper can be a good start. Do you usually write on only one side of a piece of paper? You can write your shopping list on the other side. If you are a book lover, you can buy second-hand books or just choose e-books. And of course, paying online is an excellent way to save a lot of paper over the years!
Mr Wu (a teacher)
Believe it or not, eating less meat can be a great help for trees. I read in a newspaper article that factory-farmed animals require a ton of space to eat plants and this often leads to the damage of the forest, so I tell my students that they don’t have to become a vegetarian like me, but trying a day without meat every week will help protect the trees out there.
19. What does Yang think we should do before taking care of trees?
A. Water the trees properly every day. B. Use old leaves to protect tree roots.
C. Learn about the basic needs of trees first. D. Cut some branches to make trees stronger.
20. What can we learn from Mrs Liu’s words?
A. Reading e-books helps save paper. B. Shopping online uses more paper.
C. Factory farming is good for forests. D. Buying second-hand books wastes paper.
21. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To tell people to eat less meat every week.
B. To show how to look after trees in a garden.
C. To explain why trees are important to our earth.
D. To introduce three easy ways to protect trees in daily life.
C
Have you ever wondered why some running shoes and bikes are so light and strong? They probably use a special material called carbon fiber (碳纤维), which is also found in some parts of modern planes. It is changing our life in many ways, and China just made a big new step in its development. On March 11, 2026, China unveiled (发布) the world’s first T1200-grade carbon fiber. This shows China’s great progress in advanced materials.
T1200 carbon fiber was developed by China National Building Material Group. It is one of the best technologies today. This black material is thinner than one-tenth of a human hair. But it is 10 times stronger than common steel, and only a quarter of its weight. Most importantly, unlike steel, it is made of carbon, it never rusts (生锈), even in wet places or environments. Because it is light, strong and rust-proof, it is widely used in many high-tech areas, including sixth-generation fighter planes, low-altitude (低空) aircraft and humanoid robots. It helps solve big material problems for modern machines.
However, it is not easy to make this material in large numbers. It needs very good fibers, strict control, high-temperature heating and special machines. It also needs smart cost control. Making a lot of
this material needs many resources and high energy. Now China has built a strong system that connects market needs, new technology and industrial support. And China has become the first country to produce T1200 carbon fiber at the 100-ton level.
New materials are very important for new industries. They are key to our country’s scientific and technological development. T1200 carbon fiber shows Chinese creativity and modern technology. As it develops further, it will bring more changes to our lives and help us build a better future.
22. What’s the purpose of the writer’s question at the beginning of the passage?
A. To test the readers’ knowledge. B. To introduce the topic of carbon fiber.
C. To show his interest in running shoes. D. To compare different kinds of materials.
23. What advantage does T1200 carbon fiber have over common steel?
A. It’s stronger, lighter and longer-lasting. B. It uses less energy and time in production.
C. It’s thinner and easier to get in daily life. D. It has a much simpler production process.
24. What makes it difficult to produce T1200 carbon fiber in large numbers?
A. The material is too light. B. Costs can’t be controlled.
C. It has many strict requirements. D. Temperature can’t be too high.
25. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. History of all new kinds of materials.
B. T1200’s advantages and China’s progress.
C. Differences between carbon fiber and steel.
D. Importance of producing T1200 carbon fiber.

“I was thinking about how to get into the Academy (学院),” said Gary.
“But it’s too late now, isn’t it?” said his dad.
“I can take the test again in six weeks, but if I pass, I’ll have to pay. It says so on this application form,” said Gary.
“Let me have a look,” said Dad. His dad examined the form. He frowned when he looked at the list of fees.

In class, you just know the teacher will ask you to answer a question, even before she calls your name. ____36____ It is different from our five basic senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.

The peony is a very special flower in China. For over 4,000 years, it has stood for wealth, honor, and beauty. People often call it “the King of Flowers.” During the Tang Dynasty, the peony became a symbol of riches and power. It was grown in the gardens of emperors and praised by many famous poets like Bai Juyi and Li Bai.
There is an old legend (传说) about Empress Wu Zetian. She once ordered all flowers to open in winter, but the peony refused. As a punishment, she sent it to Luoyang. Surprisingly, the peony grew even better there. This made the flower a symbol of strength and beauty.
Peonies are also important in traditional Chinese medicine. The root bark of the peony is used to reduce pain and improve health. In addition, the flower has inspired many works of art, from ancient paintings to modern TV dramas.
Today, many Chinese people want the peony to become the official national flower. In a recent survey, over 90% of voters chose the peony. It has also appeared in important events like the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Peony festivals are held every year in cities like Luoyang and Heze. These festivals bring many tourists and help local areas develop.
China now sells peony plants and products to more than 30 countries. Peony products are becoming popular around the world.
