九年级教学情况调研测试26. 05 英语试题（清潭二模） 一、单项填空(共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分) 从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。 1. The flowers grown in our school look fresher than ________ planted beside the busy street. A. one B. ones C. that D. those 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们学校种的花看起来比马路边种的那些更鲜艳。 one代替单数名词，指同类中的一个；ones代替复数名词；that代替单数名词或不可数名词；those代替复数名词。根据前句“The flowers”为复数名词，且此处指代的是“马路边种的那些花”，属于同类不同物的复数对比，应填those。 2. — ________ is it from your new home to the local city library? —It takes nearly two hours to get there by bus. A. How long B. How far C. How soon D. How often 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——从你的新家到当地市图书馆要多长时间？——乘公共汽车到那里需要将近两个小时。 How long多长（时间或长度）；How far多远；How soon多快；How often多久一次。根据答语“It takes nearly two hours to get there by bus.”可知，回答的是花费的时间长度，而不是距离或频率，所以应用How long提问。故填How far。 3. I ________ in a small town with my parents for twenty years, but now I live in a seaside city. A. lived B. was living C. have lived D. will live 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我和父母在一个小镇上住了二十年，但现在我住在一个海滨城市。 lived居住（一般过去时）；was living正在居住（过去进行时）；have lived已经居住（现在完成时，表示从过去持续到现在的动作）；will live将居住（一般将来时）。根据后文“but now I live in a seaside city”（但现在我住在一个海滨城市）可知，住在小镇的动作已经结束，不延续到现在，因此不能用现在完成时，应用一般过去时表示过去的事实。故选用lived。 4. When you plan a summer trip, you ________ choose a beautiful seaside city if you would like to. A. may B. should C. must D. have to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：当你计划夏季旅行时，如果你愿意的话，你可以选择一个美丽的海滨城市。 may可以；should应该；must必须；have to不得不。根据“if you would like to”可知，此处表示基于个人意愿的可能性，而非强制性的义务。may符合语境。 5. —Which hobby should I take up in my free time? —It ________ your own personal interest and spare time. A. turns on B. keeps on C. depends on D. works on 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我在空闲时间应该开始从事哪项爱好？——这取决于你个人的兴趣和空闲时间。 turns on打开；keeps on继续；depends on取决于；works on从事。根据上文“Which hobby should I take up...”可知是在询问选择哪项爱好，下文回答应表示选择的标准或依据，即“取决于”个人兴趣和时间，符合语境。故填depends on。 6.

A. as B. though C. if D. unless 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：除非你每天坚持锻炼并保持均衡饮食，否则你不会健康。 as当……时，因为；though虽然；if如果；unless除非，如果不。根据句意，“坚持锻炼和均衡饮食”是“健康”的必要条件，表示“如果不……就不……”，应用unless引导条件状语从句（unless = if not）。 7. If you read them carefully, you’ll find this story is the ________ one of the two. A. more excited B. more exciting C. most excited D. most exciting 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你仔细阅读，你会发现这个故事是两个中更令人兴奋的那一个。 根据“of the two”可知，是在两者之间进行比较，应使用比较级而非最高级，排除C、D；再根据主语“this story”是物，应用-ing形容词修饰，表示“令人兴奋的”，而-ed形容词修饰人，表示“感到兴奋的”。因此选more exciting。 8. —Could you tell me ________ the machine to make it work? —Sorry, I don’t know. You can check the user guide for help. A. where can I start B. where I can start C. how can I start D. how I can start 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我如何启动这台机器让它工作吗？——抱歉，我不知道。你可以查看用户指南寻求帮助。 宾语从句需用陈述语序，即“引导词+主语+谓语”，选项A和C为疑问语序，故排除。根据语境“让机器工作”以及答语建议查看“用户指南”，可知是询问操作方式，应用how引导。 9. —I always have bad luck these days. I lost my bike and then I fell ill. —Wow! ________. A. Every dog has its day B. Practice makes perfect C. It never rains but it pours D. Never burn the candle at both ends 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这些天我总是运气不好。我丢了自行车，然后又生病了。——哇！祸不单行。 Every dog has its day凡人皆有得意时，风水轮流转； Practice makes perfect熟能生巧； It never rains but it pours不雨则已，一雨倾盆；Never burn the candle at both ends不要过度消耗精力，不可过分劳累。C选项引申为“祸不单行”，指坏事接连发生，正好对应题干中“丢了自行车又生病”连续遭遇不幸的语境。故填It never rains but it pours。 10. —We will take part in the popular online talent show soon. —________. Let’s prepare early. A. Good luck B. I agree C. Sounds good D.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者登山遇阻，偶遇老人获鼓励，最终登顶并感悟到人生需走出舒适区、探索未知的成长的故事。 【11题详解】 句意：自然的美总是吸引我。 后文提到“enjoy its different landscapes”，说明这里指的是“自然的美”一直吸引着作者，beauty指“美”。 secret秘密、noise噪音、strength力量都和“欣赏风景、逃离城市”的语境无关。 【12题详解】 句意：但很快，小路变得难走。 前文说“一开始路很容易，坡度平缓，路边有野花”，但后文出现转折“But soon”，又提到“rocks were extremely slippery”，说明路变得“难走了”。impossible太绝对，boring、special不符。 【13题详解】 句意：我想放弃，这时我看到远处有个小屋。 根据“be about to/want to... when..”句型，表示正想放弃这时看到。when表示“就在这时、突然”，用来描述一件事发生时，另一件事同时出现，符合语境。 【14题详解】 句意：他的脸上布满温暖的微笑。 固定搭配be filled with a warm smile是英语中描述表情的常用表达，意思是“脸上洋溢着温暖的笑容”。 【15题详解】 句意：他选择这种安静的生活以躲避喧嚣的现代世界。 前文提到老人住在山里的小房子里，过着宁静的生活，目的是“躲避/远离喧嚣的现代世界”。hide from是固定搭配，意为“躲避、远离”，符合语境。 【16题详解】 句意：这里的每一天都是学习和自我发现的新机会。 结合文意，山里的宁静生活让他每天都有新的机会去学习和了解自己，所以chance（机会）最贴切。 【17题详解】 句意：我带着新发现的勇气继续登山。 前文作者因为路难走想放弃，和老人聊天后受到了鼓励，所以重新出发时带着的是“新的勇气”。strength力量、mind理智、patience耐心都不如“勇气”贴合“克服困难、继续前行”的语境。 【18题详解】 句意：这是关于我经历的恐惧，我经历的挑战。 根据前文“challenges ahead seemed scary”，可知经历了恐惧，fear表示恐惧。 【19题详解】 句意：在回家路上，我感到完全不同了。 根据这次深刻的经历，可知感觉完全改变。结合后文“我直面挑战、克服困难，发现了自己隐藏的一面”，说明这次经历让作者发生了“彻底的、完全的”改变，completely最贴切。 【20题详解】 句意：发现了自己隐藏的一面。 作者之前想放弃，后来坚持了下来，这种坚持是他之前没意识到的、隐藏起来的特质，所以选hidden表示隐藏的。 【21题详解】 句意：生活充满了意想不到的变化。 结合全文，徒步中的困难、和老人的相遇都是计划之外的变化，也正是这些变化让作者成长，所以选changes表示变化。 【22题详解】 句意：探索未知及远方。 结合文意，作者通过徒步探索了新的道路，也探索了自己的潜力，所以这里指的是“探索未知”，explore表示探索。 三、阅读理解(共14小题；每小题2分, 满分28分) 阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。 A Most plants are green, grow in soil (土壤) and make food from sunlight. But some plants have special living ways. Here are three amazing plants in nature. Venus Flytrap The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant——it eats insects. It grows in wet, poor soil with few good things to eat. Since it cannot get enough nutrition (养分) from such poor conditions, the plant has to get food from insects. Its leaves look like little mouths with tiny hairs. When an insect touches the hairs, the leaf closes in less than a second. Then the plant slowly takes in food from the insect. Mimosa Plant Mimosa plant is also called the shy plant. It looks gentle and lovely with small feather-like leaves. The most interesting thing about the plant is its quick movement. When people touch its leaves, they close at once, and its thin branches (枝条) will hang down too. It does this to stay safe from animals and bad weather. After a few minutes, its leaves open again and get back as before. Bristlecone Pine Bristlecone pine is one of the oldest living plants on Earth. These ancient trees grow in cold and dry high mountains. They grow very slowly and look twisted (扭曲的) and simple. However, they have super strong energy and spirit. Many of them can live for more than 4, 000 years. They can stand strong wind, cold weather and dry environment, and live through hundreds of hard seasons. Nature is full of wonders. These three plants show how clever they are to live in the wild. They may look strange, but each has its own special way to survive. 23. Why does the Venus flytrap live on insects? A. It likes to eat small animals B. It can’t make food from sunlight C. It wants to grow more quickly D. It can’t get enough food from soil 24. What do Venus flytrap and Mimosa have in common? A. They can shut parts fast when touched B. They get away quickly from enemies C. They can live through quite many years D. They grow in cold and high mountains 25. What can we learn from the whole passage? A. Three plants fit environments to survive B. Three plants change shapes to survive C. Three plants live in the same wise way D. Three plants grow in poor conditions 【答案】23. D 24. A 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了自然界中三种神奇的植物——捕蝇草、含羞草和狐尾松，分别阐述了它们独特的生存方式和适应环境的能力，展现了大自然的奇妙。 【23题详解】 根据原文第二段“It grows in wet, poor soil with few good things to eat. Since it cannot get enough nutrition from such poor conditions, the plant has to get food from insects.”可知，捕蝇草以昆虫为食是因为它无法从贫瘠的土壤中获得足够的养分。 【24题详解】 根据原文第二段“When an insect touches the hairs, the leaf closes in less than a second.”和第三段“When people touch its leaves, they close at once” 可知，捕蝇草和含羞草的共同点是被触碰时能快速闭合自身的部分结构。 【25题详解】 根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“These three plants show how clever they are to live in the wild. They may look strange, but each has its own special way to survive.”可知，这三种植物都通过各自独特的方式适应环境从而生存下来。 B Ethan spent months trapped in a low mood after his art application ended in failure. He stayed alone in his grandmother’s old house, seldom speaking to anyone and giving up his paintbrushes. Every corner of the house felt empty and cold, until one rainy afternoon, he noticed a weak ivy vine (常春藤) spreading over a broken windowsill. “You are struggling (挣扎) to hold on, aren’t you?”Grandma asked, standing behind him with a warm cup of tea. Ethan looked emptily at the thin vine, its leaves shaking in the cold wind. “It looks helpless, just like me. It will die sooner or later. ” Grandma let out a soft smile. “Do not judge (判断) a plant simply by its weak appearance. Looks can be misleading. ” “What strength could it possibly have?”Ethan sighed, his voice filled with tiredness. “Look closely, ” she whispered. “It never rushes to bloom (开花) or grow wildly. It sticks tightly to every tiny gap (缝隙) , quietly waiting for its time. ” Ethan fell into silence. From that day on, he began to care for the vine. He cleaned dust off its leaves, changed its position to avoid the strong cold wind, and sat beside the window for hours, talking to the vine about his helplessness. He thought he was just keeping the weak plant alive. One cold midnight, a strong rainstorm hit the house. Thunder came loudly and heavy rain beat. The first thing he did the next morning was to check the ivy. To his surprise, instead of breaking down, the vine stuck tighter over the windowsill. Its green leaves shone in the sunlight. fresh and lively. Grandma stood against the door, watching him gently. “You thought you were saving this ivy, didn’t you?” “Isn’t that the truth?”Ethan asked in doubt. A soft smile spread across Grandma’s face. “In all honesty, it is the ivy that is holding you together. It stays with you and makes you feel warm inside. You give it gentle care, yet it quietly cures your broken heart. Some connections are formed in silence, never spoken but deeply felt. ” Ethan slowly picked up his dusty paintbrush and began to draw the little vine. He finally understood that true strength never shouts. Sometimes the quietest companions (陪伴) are the ones that hold our broken hearts together through hard times. 26. What can we know about Ethan at the beginning of the story? A. He hated the bad feelings of the old house. B. He was trapped in the endless art applications. C.

Failures can never decide a real value. B. Silence is the best way to deal with failures. C. A silent relationship can cheer each other up. D. Plants are much stronger than human beings. 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. A 29. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了艺术申请失败后陷入低谷的Ethan，在奶奶的引导下，从一株看似柔弱却坚韧的常春藤身上获得力量，最终走出阴霾并领悟到真正力量的故事，传达了沉默陪伴的治愈力。 【26题详解】 根据原文第一段“Ethan spent months trapped in a low mood after his art application ended in failure... giving up his paintbrushes”可知，故事开头Ethan在失败后对自己感到不满，陷入了低落的情绪中。 【27题详解】 根据原文划线句后文“it stays with you and makes you feel warm inside. You give it gentle care, yet it quietly cures your broken heart”可知，这句话的意思是常春藤默默地改善了Ethan的情绪，治愈了他受伤的心。 【28题详解】 根据原文内容，奶奶发现Ethan的低落情绪后，没有直接说教，而是用常春藤进行引导，说出“Do not judge a plant simply by its weak appearance. Looks can be misleading.”这样充满哲理的话；她全程语气温柔，“let out a soft smile”、“watching him gently”，最后用“Some connections are formed in silence, never spoken but deeply felt”点醒Ethan，可见她既充满人生智慧又性格温柔。A选项最符合题意。 【29题详解】 根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“Sometimes the quietest companions are the ones that hold our broken hearts together through hard times”和奶奶所说的“Some connections are formed in silence, never spoken but deeply felt”可知，故事的主旨是沉默的关系能够互相治愈、互相支撑。故C选项最符合题意。 C Most people know the ancient skill of joining wood without glue or nails (钉子) , but few people know a special silver-making skill in China. It is called silver mortise and tenon (银器榫卯) , a special folk skill popular among common workers in southern China, with a history of more than 500 years. The skill connects silver pieces with raised and hollow (凹陷的) parts instead of using glue or fire. Such a smart connection is the biggest advantage of this ancient skill. It gets the idea from the traditional wood-joining skill, showing the amazing creativity of ancient folk workers. Different from common silver jewellery fixed by high temperature, this special skill never uses such ways. After being simply cut, silver pieces can be connected together without any glue. The finished silver products are smooth and steady (稳定的) . They will not break easily even after many years of use. This clever design makes the silver works look simple but beautiful. All the making steps are full of challenges. Workers must keep their hands steady and control every size correctly. Every cut needs to be exact, for even a tiny mistake will make the whole silver work fail to fit well. It usually takes several days or even weeks to finish one small silver piece, so great patience is certainly required. In old times, local people liked these silver works because of their steady structure (结构) and simple beauty. People often made them into hand decorations and daily gifts for family members and friends. They were also widely used at important festivals. As modern silver-making ways became popular, this ancient skill gradually disappeared from people’s daily life and was almost forgotten by the public. Now some experienced folk workers try their best to protect and pass on this valuable skill. They not only make traditional silver works but also teach young learners patiently. More teenagers have begun to show interest in this treasure. This special skill shows the clever ideas of ancient folk workers. It also carries quiet traditional beauty and reminds people to value the treasure of traditional culture. 30. What is the special point of this silver-making skill? A. It uses sticky glue to join silver pieces. B. It puts parts together without hot fire. C. It is popular among common workers. D. It has a history of five thousand years. 31. Why is it hard to finish this silver work? A. It must be finished in a short time. B. It must be fixed in high temperature. C. It needs steady hands and exact size control. D. It needs plenty of expensive silver materials. 32. What is the best title for the passage? A. A traditional silver-making skill. B. A popular traditional silver product. C. Different uses of silver in old time. D. Different ways to make silver products. 【答案】30. B 31. C 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统的银器榫卯技艺，详细阐述了它的工艺特点、制作难度、历史用途以及如今的传承保护现状，展现了古代民间工匠的非凡智慧和传统文化的独特魅力。 【30题详解】 根据原文第一段“The skill connects silver pieces with raised and hollow parts instead of using glue or fire.”和第二段“Different from common silver jewellery fixed by high temperature, this special skill never uses such ways.”可知，这种制银技艺的特别之处在于它不使用胶水和高温火烤，仅通过凸起和凹陷的结构来拼接银件。 【31题详解】 根据原文第三段“All the making steps are full of challenges. Workers must keep their hands steady and control every size correctly. Every cut needs to be exact, for even a tiny mistake will make the whole silver work fail to fit well.”可知，制作这种银器难度大是因为需要工人手稳且能精确控制每一个尺寸。 【32题详解】 全文围绕“银器榫卯”这一传统制银技艺展开，依次介绍了它的工艺原理、独特优势、制作难点、历史应用和当代传承。因此“A traditional silver-making skill”最适合作为文章标题。 D Modern life forces almost everyone to live at a fast pace (节奏). We rush to get up, rush to study and even rush to search for pleasure. Fast speed has become a symbol of efficiency (效率), and being slow is often considered a sign of laziness or backwardness. People stick to strict plans and endless tasks, mistakenly believing that a busier life equals a more meaningful one. However, slowing down does not mean giving up progress, self-improvement or wasting valuable time. Instead, it has become a rare wisdom in this fast-paced and highly competitive world. When we really slow down, we are able to notice those tiny details that are generally overlooked in a hurry:the gentle change of sunlight, the slight movement of leaves and the regular beating of our own hearts. I once got trapped in a really fast life, arranging every single minute with strict plans. I took pride in my high efficiency until I was tired out and filled with stress. Even after achieving my goals (目标), I could not sense any joy they brought me. Only then did I realize I was rushing forward blindly without clear directions. I gained certain achievements, yet lost the ability to truly experience life. Slowing down helps balance our daily life and calm our restless minds. It allows us to think independently rather than blindly follow social trends (趋势). It does not require us to give up our dreams, but reminds us to realize them gently and steadily. A fast pace simply brings short-term excitement, while a slow pace fills life with lasting warmth. Life is never a race to rush through. The true art of life lies in balancing speed and peace. Learning to slow down is not to get away from reality, but to respect life in a sincere and calm way. 33. Why do most people refuse to slow down? A. They have many important tasks. B. They consider slowness worthless. C. They want to get away from stress. D. They enjoy the fast-paced lifestyle. 34. What does the underlined word “overlooked” in paragraph 2 mean? A. carefully recorded B. easily missed C. clearly remembered D. widely shared 35. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The writer finally gave up his life goal. B. Strict plans gave the writer clear directions. C. The writer regretted making strict daily plans. D. High efficiency failed to bring inner satisfaction. 36. Which of the following will the writer agree with? A. Slow pace leads to long lasting happiness. B. Slow life means giving up dreams. C. It is wise to keep a balanced living pace. D. Busy people live a more valuable life. 【答案】33. B 34. B 35. D 36. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者批判了现代社会一味追求快节奏的错误观念，结合自身经历阐述了慢下来的意义，指出生活的真正艺术在于平衡速度与平静，学会慢下来是对生活真诚而平静的尊重。 【33题详解】 根据原文第一段“Fast speed has become a symbol of efficiency, and being slow is often considered a sign of laziness or backwardness. People stick to strict plans and endless tasks, mistakenly believing that a busier life equals a more meaningful one.”可知，大多数人拒绝慢下来是因为他们认为慢是懒惰和落后的标志，也就是觉得慢毫无价值。 【34题详解】 根据原文第二段“When we really slow down, we are able to notice those tiny details that are generally overlooked in a hurry”可知，慢下来我们才能注意到那些在匆忙中通常被忽略的细节。结合语境，“overlooked”意为“被忽略、被错过”，与“easily missed”含义相同。 【35题详解】 根据原文第三段“I took pride in my high efficiency until I was tired out and filled with stress. Even after achieving my goals, I could not sense any joy they brought me.”可知，作者的高效率并没有给他带来内心的满足感。 【36题详解】 根据原文最后一段“The true art of life lies in balancing speed and peace.”可知，作者认为生活的真正艺术在于平衡速度与平静，因此保持平衡的生活节奏是明智的。 四、还原信息(共4小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分6分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It is common sense that natural stone is heavy and hard, yet easy to break into pieces. It cannot be shaped freely, which limits its use in many fields. However, scientists have invented a special stone material that meets people’s needs. The most surprising advantage of this new material is its flexibility (柔韧性) . Unlike common hard stone that remains fixed in shape, it can be bent (弯曲) in all directions and made into different shapes freely. Under usual temperatures, people can even roll it up like a thin blanket. ____37____ Besides flexibility, the material appears bright and clear in natural light. Most natural stones are thick and solid (固体的) , while this special stone looks soft and clear with a smooth inside material. ____38____ When used as indoor decoration, it creates a warm and artistic feeling. ____39____ It is much lighter than traditional stone and keeps its stable physical properties (材质稳定) . Besides, it strongly prevents water and corrosion (腐烂) and requires little care. With many practical advantages, it greatly cuts down the costs of transportation and storing. Therefore, designers often use it for modern buildings and indoor decorations. Beyond its daily uses, the material also carries technological meaning. ____40____. The mix of natural materials and modern technology gives the common stone magical abilities.

It is given many daily tasks to keep the dining hall in good order. It cleans dining tables carefully, collects rubbish from different corners, and even serves hot and delicious food to students every school day. The robot is highly hard-working. It keeps working from the first break to the end of lunch time and never feels tired or complains about its busy work. It has become a common sight in our school. However, some students don’t show basic respect for this robot. To kill time or just for fun, they often play tricks on it. They shout funny orders loudly, push it around rudely, and leave dirty food on the table on purpose (故意) just to make it clean up the mess. These students take such bad manners as interesting games. They never notice their bad manners in public. Among these students, Lee is different. He is a well-behaved boy all the time. He often feels sorry for the robot. It works alone the whole day without a rest. After being treated badly, the robot always moves slowly and seems lonely and sad. One day, Lee made up his mind to treat the robot politely. When the robot served him food, he smiled and said “thank you”. To his surprise, white words “You’re welcome” soon appeared on its screen. From this small experience, Lee learned a special lesson. We should respect not only people around us, but also AI machines. Kindness and politeness can make the world a warmer place. 41.

But some plants have special living ways. Here are three amazing plants in nature. Venus Flytrap The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant——it eats insects. It grows in wet, poor soil with few good things to eat. Since it cannot get enough nutrition (养分) from such poor conditions, the plant has to get food from insects. Its leaves look like little mouths with tiny hairs. When an insect touches the hairs, the leaf closes in less than a second. Then the plant slowly takes in food from the insect. Mimosa Plant Mimosa plant is also called the shy plant. It looks gentle and lovely with small feather-like leaves. The most interesting thing about the plant is its quick movement. When people touch its leaves, they close at once, and its thin branches (枝条) will hang down too. It does this to stay safe from animals and bad weather. After a few minutes, its leaves open again and get back as before. Bristlecone Pine Bristlecone pine is one of the oldest living plants on Earth. These ancient trees grow in cold and dry high mountains. They grow very slowly and look twisted (扭曲的) and simple. However, they have super strong energy and spirit. Many of them can live for more than 4, 000 years. They can stand strong wind, cold weather and dry environment, and live through hundreds of hard seasons. Nature is full of wonders. These three plants show how clever they are to live in the wild. They may look strange, but each has its own special way to survive. 23. Why does the Venus flytrap live on insects? A. It likes to eat small animals B. It can’t make food from sunlight C. It wants to grow more quickly D. It can’t get enough food from soil 24. What do Venus flytrap and Mimosa have in common? A. They can shut parts fast when touched B. They get away quickly from enemies C. They can live through quite many years D. They grow in cold and high mountains 25.

Three plants grow in poor conditions B Ethan spent months trapped in a low mood after his art application ended in failure. He stayed alone in his grandmother’s old house, seldom speaking to anyone and giving up his paintbrushes. Every corner of the house felt empty and cold, until one rainy afternoon, he noticed a weak ivy vine (常春藤) spreading over a broken windowsill. “You are struggling (挣扎) to hold on, aren’t you?”Grandma asked, standing behind him with a warm cup of tea. Ethan looked emptily at the thin vine, its leaves shaking in the cold wind. “It looks helpless, just like me. It will die sooner or later. ” Grandma let out a soft smile. “Do not judge (判断) a plant simply by its weak appearance. Looks can be misleading. ” “What strength could it possibly have?”Ethan sighed, his voice filled with tiredness. “Look closely, ” she whispered. “It never rushes to bloom (开花) or grow wildly. It sticks tightly to every tiny gap (缝隙) , quietly waiting for its time. ” Ethan fell into silence. From that day on, he began to care for the vine. He cleaned dust off its leaves, changed its position to avoid the strong cold wind, and sat beside the window for hours, talking to the vine about his helplessness. He thought he was just keeping the weak plant alive. One cold midnight, a strong rainstorm hit the house. Thunder came loudly and heavy rain beat. The first thing he did the next morning was to check the ivy. To his surprise, instead of breaking down, the vine stuck tighter over the windowsill. Its green leaves shone in the sunlight. fresh and lively. Grandma stood against the door, watching him gently. “You thought you were saving this ivy, didn’t you?” “Isn’t that the truth?”Ethan asked in doubt. A soft smile spread across Grandma’s face. “In all honesty, it is the ivy that is holding you together. It stays with you and makes you feel warm inside. You give it gentle care, yet it quietly cures your broken heart. Some connections are formed in silence, never spoken but deeply felt. ” Ethan slowly picked up his dusty paintbrush and began to draw the little vine. He finally understood that true strength never shouts. Sometimes the quietest companions (陪伴) are the ones that hold our broken hearts together through hard times. 26.

Failures can never decide a real value. B. Silence is the best way to deal with failures. C. A silent relationship can cheer each other up. D. Plants are much stronger than human beings. C Most people know the ancient skill of joining wood without glue or nails (钉子) , but few people know a special silver-making skill in China. It is called silver mortise and tenon (银器榫卯) , a special folk skill popular among common workers in southern China, with a history of more than 500 years. The skill connects silver pieces with raised and hollow (凹陷的) parts instead of using glue or fire. Such a smart connection is the biggest advantage of this ancient skill. It gets the idea from the traditional wood-joining skill, showing the amazing creativity of ancient folk workers. Different from common silver jewellery fixed by high temperature, this special skill never uses such ways. After being simply cut, silver pieces can be connected together without any glue. The finished silver products are smooth and steady (稳定的) . They will not break easily even after many years of use. This clever design makes the silver works look simple but beautiful. All the making steps are full of challenges. Workers must keep their hands steady and control every size correctly. Every cut needs to be exact, for even a tiny mistake will make the whole silver work fail to fit well. It usually takes several days or even weeks to finish one small silver piece, so great patience is certainly required. In old times, local people liked these silver works because of their steady structure (结构) and simple beauty. People often made them into hand decorations and daily gifts for family members and friends. They were also widely used at important festivals. As modern silver-making ways became popular, this ancient skill gradually disappeared from people’s daily life and was almost forgotten by the public. Now some experienced folk workers try their best to protect and pass on this valuable skill. They not only make traditional silver works but also teach young learners patiently. More teenagers have begun to show interest in this treasure. This special skill shows the clever ideas of ancient folk workers. It also carries quiet traditional beauty and reminds people to value the treasure of traditional culture. 30. What is the special point of this silver-making skill? A. It uses sticky glue to join silver pieces. B. It puts parts together without hot fire. C. It is popular among common workers. D. It has a history of five thousand years. 31. Why is it hard to finish this silver work? A. It must be finished in a short time. B. It must be fixed in high temperature. C. It needs steady hands and exact size control. D. It needs plenty of expensive silver materials. 32. What is the best title for the passage? A. A traditional silver-making skill. B. A popular traditional silver product. C. Different uses of silver in old time. D. Different ways to make silver products. D Modern life forces almost everyone to live at a fast pace (节奏). We rush to get up, rush to study and even rush to search for pleasure. Fast speed has become a symbol of efficiency (效率), and being slow is often considered a sign of laziness or backwardness. People stick to strict plans and endless tasks, mistakenly believing that a busier life equals a more meaningful one. However, slowing down does not mean giving up progress, self-improvement or wasting valuable time. Instead, it has become a rare wisdom in this fast-paced and highly competitive world. When we really slow down, we are able to notice those tiny details that are generally overlooked in a hurry:the gentle change of sunlight, the slight movement of leaves and the regular beating of our own hearts. I once got trapped in a really fast life, arranging every single minute with strict plans. I took pride in my high efficiency until I was tired out and filled with stress. Even after achieving my goals (目标), I could not sense any joy they brought me. Only then did I realize I was rushing forward blindly without clear directions. I gained certain achievements, yet lost the ability to truly experience life. Slowing down helps balance our daily life and calm our restless minds. It allows us to think independently rather than blindly follow social trends (趋势). It does not require us to give up our dreams, but reminds us to realize them gently and steadily. A fast pace simply brings short-term excitement, while a slow pace fills life with lasting warmth. Life is never a race to rush through. The true art of life lies in balancing speed and peace. Learning to slow down is not to get away from reality, but to respect life in a sincere and calm way. 33. Why do most people refuse to slow down? A. They have many important tasks. B. They consider slowness worthless. C. They want to get away from stress. D. They enjoy the fast-paced lifestyle. 34. What does the underlined word “overlooked” in paragraph 2 mean? A. carefully recorded B. easily missed C. clearly remembered D. widely shared 35. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The writer finally gave up his life goal. B. Strict plans gave the writer clear directions. C. The writer regretted making strict daily plans. D. High efficiency failed to bring inner satisfaction. 36. Which of the following will the writer agree with? A. Slow pace leads to long lasting happiness. B. Slow life means giving up dreams. C. It is wise to keep a balanced living pace. D. Busy people live a more valuable life. 四、还原信息(共4小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分6分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It is common sense that natural stone is heavy and hard, yet easy to break into pieces. It cannot be shaped freely, which limits its use in many fields. However, scientists have invented a special stone material that meets people’s needs. The most surprising advantage of this new material is its flexibility (柔韧性) . Unlike common hard stone that remains fixed in shape, it can be bent (弯曲) in all directions and made into different shapes freely. Under usual temperatures, people can even roll it up like a thin blanket. ____37____ Besides flexibility, the material appears bright and clear in natural light. Most natural stones are thick and solid (固体的) , while this special stone looks soft and clear with a smooth inside material. ____38____ When used as indoor decoration, it creates a warm and artistic feeling. ____39____ It is much lighter than traditional stone and keeps its stable physical properties (材质稳定) . Besides, it strongly prevents water and corrosion (腐烂) and requires little care. With many practical advantages, it greatly cuts down the costs of transportation and storing. Therefore, designers often use it for modern buildings and indoor decorations. Beyond its daily uses, the material also carries technological meaning. ____40____. The mix of natural materials and modern technology gives the common stone magical abilities.

It is given many daily tasks to keep the dining hall in good order. It cleans dining tables carefully, collects rubbish from different corners, and even serves hot and delicious food to students every school day. The robot is highly hard-working. It keeps working from the first break to the end of lunch time and never feels tired or complains about its busy work. It has become a common sight in our school. However, some students don’t show basic respect for this robot. To kill time or just for fun, they often play tricks on it. They shout funny orders loudly, push it around rudely, and leave dirty food on the table on purpose (故意) just to make it clean up the mess. These students take such bad manners as interesting games. They never notice their bad manners in public. Among these students, Lee is different. He is a well-behaved boy all the time. He often feels sorry for the robot. It works alone the whole day without a rest. After being treated badly, the robot always moves slowly and seems lonely and sad. One day, Lee made up his mind to treat the robot politely. When the robot served him food, he smiled and said “thank you”. To his surprise, white words “You’re welcome” soon appeared on its screen. From this small experience, Lee learned a special lesson. We should respect not only people around us, but also AI machines. Kindness and politeness can make the world a warmer place. 41.
